* In ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'', the [[MachineWorship Adeptus Mechanicus]] insist that all vehicles have a [[HauntedTechnology "machine spirit"]] that must be appeased for it to operate, but the truest example of this trope is the Space Marines' Land Raider, an AwesomePersonnelCarrier with an advanced cogitator that can drive the vehicle if the living crew is stunned or operate an additional weapon. The Land Raider ''Rynn's Might'' even activated itself after being blown clear of the Crimson Fists' fortress-monastery during the invasion of their homeworld, then freed itself from wreckage and went on to attack the nearest Ork warband. When its rampage was stopped after a lucky shot blew off a track, the tank opened all its doors so the greenskins would rush in to try and loot it, then sealed the hatches behind them and purposefully overloaded its power core, killing an Ork Warboss and his bodyguard with the resulting toxic fumes and radiation. [[EvilCounterpart Chaos]] Space Marines also have unusually smart Land Raiders, though in their case there's overlap with DemonicPossession.
