Added DiffLines:

* ''VideoGame/ItSteals'': The titular Phantom of Phantom Mode has it go both ways. It is invisible until it finds you, [[RunOrDie where it will turn visible and begin to chase the player]]. However, you are also invisible to it, meaning that it won't know where the player is until they make noise near it.

Added DiffLines:

* ''VideoGame/ShantaeAndTheSevenSirens'': Ghost Eye enemies are invisible flying [[FacelessEye eyeballs]], revealed only by use of Seer Dance, or the dust from bumping into things.

* ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands 2}}'': Stalkers. Better have a good shock weapon handy, as there's a reason they're called "Invisibl Assholes" in-game. There's also the Hyperion Infiltrator, a cloaking-enabled shotgun-toting ambush unit. These, too, can be revealed by depleting their shields. Canonically, Handsome Jack blatantly nicked this idea from Dahl's Lost Legion Scouts in ''VideoGame/BorderlandsThePreSequel'', who operate in a similar fashion.

* Parodied to hell and back in ''WesternAnimation/{{Freakazoid}}'' with Invisibo, who is invisible pharaoh who can only be seen via his scepter. However, when we first see him, his scepter is being held by string, prompting a WeInterruptThisProgram to declare the Network is embarrassed by this and gives the show extra money to make it ''believable.''
* '' WesternAnimation/GaltarAndTheGoldenLance'': In the episode ''Shadowhaunt'', the heroes get trapped in a castle where the invisible monster stalks them, they are able to see it by pouring tar on it making easier for Galtar to hit it.
* One ''WesternAnimation/JonnyQuest'' episode is ''titled'' "The Invisible Monster". At least, it's invisible until [[spoiler: the heroes cover it with paint, allowing them to see it--and then destroy it.]]

Added DiffLines:

* ''WesternAnimation/TheTrapDoor'': The creature that comes out from the trapdoor in "Gourmet's Delight" is invisible, and can only be tracked by its footprints until Berk splats food all over it and thus renders it visible.

* ''VideoGame/SecondExtinction'' have one of the dilophosaurus enemies who has HollywoodChamelon abilities, turning invisible before revealing itself to ambush humans.
* ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros. Melee'' also has the cloaking device. As a few comic strips have noted, in Smash, if they can't see you, ''you can't see you either''. This generally results in such mishaps as falling off the edge of the map. But to be fair, when you move or attack, you have a InvisibilityFlicker, so you aren't ''blind''.

* Two versions exists in ''VideoGame/LaMulana'' : One that [[spoiler:moves so fast that you have to stop time to see it]], and one [[spoiler: that merely requires that you get an item to see them... after going through roughly 10 screens taking random hits from them]].
