== Film ==
* In the ''[[The Lord of the Rings]] The Two Towers'', the movie, during the battle at Helms Deep, The Uruk-Hai constructed a bomb in the drainage tunnel at Helm's Deep, with an Uruk with a torch blowing himself up to set it off.
* Russel Casse in ''[[Independence Day]]'': "Hello boys! I'm baaaaaaack!"
* {{spoiler|Robert Neville}} in the theatrical ending of ''[[I Am Legend]]''.
Line 123:
** There's even an item in some Dragon Quest games called a Kamikazee bracer that blows the user up when they die and kills all opposing enemies.
* In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|The Legend of Zelda Majoras Mask]]'', Link can use the "blast mask" to create an explosion right in front of his face. This can hurt, but the damage can be blocked by putting the shield in front of his face. There are also rat-like enemies who have bombs strapped to the ends of their tails, and explode upon touching Link. In-universe, this inspired an invention called a "bombchu" (also found in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' which is a sort of bomb modeled after these rats, which hovers over the ground like a heat-seeking missile.
* Some bosses in the ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' series can invoke living, explosive creatures. In ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', Stu can release a wood-shielded living mine that will slowly follow Donkey and Diddy. In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', Puftoss will release speedy Puftups that will chase Lanky until hitting him, or until exploding due to tiemtime running out. ''64'' also inverts the trope in one sidequest: A rabbit is tied to a crate of explosives, and several living flames will walk onto him to make him explode; the objective is to prevent this during a time limit.
* The Scarfy in the ''[[Kirby]]'' series. Attempting to Inhale him often caused the Scarfy to mutate, chase after you and explode! There's also the enemy, Bomber, who is almost always perched dangerously close to the edge of a platform and then falls off promptly after Kirby comes on-screen blowing up on impact with the ground and (sometimes conveniently) taking all other enemies on screen with him. Having Kirby Inhale him will grant you one of the more powerful Copy Abilities...
** Crash. Crash basically [[Smart Bomb|nukes the screen]] when used, annihilating anything that isn't a Boss (even most sub-bosses will kick the bucket when this ability is invoked, but if the boss doesn't die it will be close to death anyway).
Line 262:
* ''[[Orion's Arm]]'': The early modified humans [http://www.orionsarm.com/xcms.php?r=oaeg-view-article&egart_uid=4ac6247bd1611 Homo Jihadi] had a modified endocrine system, "naturally" producing explosives that accumulate in their bones and other calcium-containing tissues. They were modified at the zygote stage and have not been known to reproduce. It did not help the reputation of genetic engineering...
* In [[Girlchan in Paradise]] one character detonates himself using his most powerful (and only) technique. He then proceeds to be poorly edited in so that he isn't dead.
* {{spoiler|Kalani}} from ''[[Were Alive|We're Alive]]''. He saved the tower by {{spoiler|flying a helicopter into a tanker truck rigged to explode}}
 
 
== Western Animation ==
Line 269 ⟶ 268:
* ''[[Making Fiends]]'' has the exploding pigeon fiends in "Mama Vendetta". [[Rule of Funny|Naturally]], they proceeded to follow Vendetta everywhere they went after they hatched, thinking that she's their mommy.
* ''[[Sym-Bionic Titan]]'' has the [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]], Tashy 497.
