* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'': the creature Jenova is notably similar to the Thing, and its backstory involves dropping on the Planet from space in a polar region, and infecting/assimilating members of the Cetra race in a manner likewise similar. The incarnation of Jenova fought by the main characters in the present, though, is much less proactive in spreading itself, perhaps as a result of the Cetra's last ditch effort to contain it somehow removing its will to procreate. The victims of a full Jenova infestation (as opposed to a controlled infestation, which produces SOLDIERs), known as "Helletics", look gory and chimeric, similar to the Thing's victims' attack forms.
