* A ''KeychainOfCreation'' fan comic had the Kukla sneaking up on someone. The Kukla is a dragon the size of a mountain range. The character in question had fallen for for the LookBehindYou trick multiple times, and probably chocked this under CryingWolf.

** While ork Kommandoz aren't exactly colossal, they're still over seven feet tall and green (when not painted purple), yet perfectly capable of sneaking around undetected. [[hottip:*:Why purple? As all orks know, no one's ever seen an army of purple orks, which explains how sneaky purple makes them.]]

* Zilla from the 1998 remake of ''Film/{{Godzilla}}'' is somehow able to sneak around and hide in the middle of New York City without ''anyone'' noticing him, for the most part.

* In the ork ending cutscene of ''DawnOfWar 2: Retribution'' [[spoiler: Captain Blutflagg manages to sneak up on an inquisitor, despite being about a size of a dreadnought.]] Spookoms might also qualify, being an ork stealth expert (he is an ork "kommando" nob and so about 8 feet tall and over 4 feet wide).
* The guy from ''MarkOfKri'' (video game, sequel was ''RiseOfTheKasai'') is a huge quasi-Polynesian guy that's easily double the size of his enemies. Sneaking around and stealth-killing is a major part of his gameplay. However, his huge size does come in handy: he's able to stealth-kill two guys at once.

* DungeonsAndDragons 3rd ed bestiary depicts a gold dragon sneaking behind some orcs - possibly justified by magic.

* In ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'', General Ursaker E. Creed is capable of applying the "Scout Rule," to any unit. This means that he can take any unit on his side, and move it into flanking position of the enemy army. Instantly. This would be an inversion if all he could move are scouts, but one can perform this rule with Space Marine squads (gigantic, ten-foot-tall, multi-ton killing machines), tanks, and two-hundred feet tall mecha, appearing out of freaking nowhere. It has become a MemeticMutation that he is capable of [[http://1d4chan.org/wiki/File:1242252825237.jpg infiltrating any unit to any point anywhere]], [[http://1d4chan.org/wiki/File:1242253576880.jpg at any time,]] [[http://1d4chan.org/wiki/File:Creeeeeeeed.jpg ever]]. This is known as "Tactical Genius".

** This is often the schtick of Bugbears in D&D and its derivatives (such as ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}''

* The roadies in ''BrutalLegend'' haul enormous piles of amps on their backs to battle... but are completely invisible unless they attack. Why? Because they wear black and in the HeavyMetal-inspired setting of the game, that works as a perfect PerceptionFilter. Eddie, being a roadie himself, can also become invisible by jumping on top of said amps.

* 20 to 100 ton [[WalkingTank bipedal tanks]] in the ''Videogame/MechWarrior'' series can become absurdly good at stealth when equipped with electronic counter-measures, despite the ground shaking under the force of their footsteps. One StealthBasedMission in ''[=MW4=]: Mercenaries'' has the plow running from cover to cover (the cover being occupied enemy buildings) inside a densely patrolled enemy base; the people inside the buildings seem to not notice the walls shaking or the oddly painted and armed mech running around outside.

* The ''MegasXLR'' episode "Breakout" has a large group of mecha-sized alien criminals released at one point. One of them appears to be a martial artist with a cloaking device, which he uses to move around silently and use hit and run tactics on Megas. This being ''Megas XLR'', he is defeated when Coop fires missiles in all directions at once.

* ''GundamWing'' has Death Scythe, which has the ability to cloak. When [[StealthInSpace used in deep space]], it fades {{Predator}} style and blends seemlessly with the surrounding field of stars; effectively becoming invisible... and makes no sound.

* Zilla from the 1998 remake of ''{{Godzilla}}'' is somehow able to sneak around and hide in the middle of New York City without ''anyone'' noticing him, for the most part.
* ''{{Transformers}}'': The film (almost) makes a joke of how easily massive robots can hide.
* ''{{Megamind}}'' has the villain in a multi-storey mech at one point, sneakily hiding around corners while the FaceHeelTurn hero he created flies by at top speed.
* In ''{{Cloverfield}}'', the eponymous multi-ton, many-legged, several stories-high monster sneaks up on the protagonists [[spoiler:and bites the cameraman in half]].

* Munchkin Fu card game has a mecha ninja named "Fifty Ton Master Of Stealth". Also, the Ninja Giant from the "Need for Steed" expansion.
