** ''Terene'', when special summoned, flips all monsters on the field into face-down defence position, serving as a slower but field-wide Book of Moon.
** ''Sinister Serpent'' puts itself back into the hand during it’s owner’s stand-by phase, meaning that it can resurrect itself every turn. This effect was so good that it was banned until it received an errata where it gets [[DeaderThanDead banished]] if it’s in your graveyard at the end of your opponent’s turn after using its ability. Can be played around by getting it out beforehand (expending another resource) or just waiting a turn (halving it’s usage), but either way restricts its power enough to avoid breaking the game.
** ''Danger!?'', however, takes the cake. Danger cards are an archetype entirely based around {{Our Cryptids Are More Mysterious}}, with a unique mechanic to match. They can reveal themselves in the hand before shuffling it and having the opponent pick a card at random that then gets discarded. If it doesn’t get discarded, you special summon the Danger monster onto the field. If it does, oh well. However, every Danger card ''also'' has an effect that activates upon being discarded, unique to every Danger monster. Tsuchinoko’s? [[MortonsFork Special Summon this card]]. That’s right, Tsuchinoko is a condition free summon and a discard (which can be beneficial in the right decks) that can be spliced into any deck. Because of this, it’s limited to just one copy in every deck.

* In an episode of ''Anime/TheDisastrousLifeOfSaikiK'', at one point there is a contest for picking up trash, and it is announced that the most valuable piece of trash that can be turned in is a dead Tsuchinoko (which is supposed to be a joke.) Saiki and his friends bring in a lot of trash, but fall behind because one of them won’t stop picking up low-value trash. It’s okay, though, because [[spoiler: a random little kid and his family actually find a dead Tsuchinoko, and beat everyone else including Saiki and his team handily.]]

* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'': Introduced in [[VideoGame/PokemonGoldSilverAndCrystal the second generation]], Dunsparce is a tsuchinoko with small wings and a rattlesnake-like tail (that's actually a [[ThisIsADrill drill]]). They are very elusive, and spend most of their time hiding in burrows and tunnels underground. They're among the rarest Pokemon available to catch in the wild, with an encounter rate around 1%, when they're not swarming. Dunsparce is oddly popular, with many fans imagining an evolution as a giant awesome snake dragon... Come ''VideoGame/PokemonScarletAndViolet'', it finally gained the ability to evolve into Dudunsparce... which looks almost exactly the same as its previous form, just larger and with another one to two body segments, proving that Game Freak are a bunch of trolls.

The Tsuchinoko (translated to English as "child of hammer" or "child of dirt") is the name of a small, snake-like creature in Japanese legend, known for having a disproportionately pudgy body ending in a slender, pointed tail. They are typically jet-black or dusty-brown and can be as long as 12 to 31 inches. Their behavior is noted to be strange, defying behavior seen in similar animals and even defying certain laws of physics. They can bite the end of their tail to form a wheel to travel faster to avoid predators or catch prey and they can even DoubleJump by scrunching their bodies like an accordion and unloading like a spring. The tsuchinoko is a viper and thus has fangs filled with venom, but unlike other snakes, they don't hiss, but squeak and chirp instead. They are most commonly seen in Western Japan, mostly in Kansai and Shikoku.
