** ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'' has a unique sand-is-lava section in chapter 8, "Sandtraps," where stepping on the ground areas made up of sand causes [[BigCreepyCrawlies Antlions]] to pop out from underground to try to attack Gordon. As a result, Gordon has to jump around on objects to stay off the sand, or else he would constantly be attacked by respawning Antlions.

This area tends to make use of the [[MagneticWeapons Gravity Gun]] where the player has to grab and move objects on the sand to create object bridges atop the sand in order to safely hop across.

* ''VideoGame/LastTrainOuttaWormTown'': The Worms hunt their prey by detecting any motion across the desert sands. Therefore, Pardners can increase their chances of survival by staying off the sand as much as possible, using the various cacti, giant rocks, and houses to their advantage, along with throwing around crates, ladders, and anything else they can use as temporary platforms... or distractions.



* In [[http://nonadventures.com/2010/06/26/rug-of-war/ this]] ''Webcomic/TheNonAdventuresOfWonderella'' strip, Hitlerella kidnaps Wonderita and was going to suspend her over an actual lava pit. But since she didn't have one, Rita decided to pretend the rug was lava instead. Both Wonderella and Hitlerella are weirded out by how seriously she takes this.
