It's time since the last time someone did a D&DC in another media text.
Here I want to show you things about mentions or so in other media and also if you know something that you don't see mention here, add it to the list.
First all, I'll write a mention that probably not all of you will know.
There is a mmo about D&D called DDO (Dungeons and dragons online). This game isn't new or anything but I'm a player of it since almost the beginning.
Months back they added an easter egg about the series in one of the quests. This quest is called "Fear factory" and the story is like this: In the starter quest of this line of quest you discovered a neighborhood with people disappearing and some monsters called 'Taken' and after an investigation and some battles you learn that a mage is responsable. You follow him first to a warehouse and then to a factory where he escapes through the sewers. There, after some turnarounds, you found this:

There you see an exit but with bars, so you can't go for there.
You move and if you continue searching, you found this:

You have to battle the undead and so but... The story is more or less like this: Venger lurked Sheila to give him the weapons and she not only stole them but also let the rest of the gang to die locked into a room. Diana is the only one that could go to pursue her but Sheila, using her cloak and a knife, killed her.
Of course isn't canon and the devs didn't look for it but is an interesting easter egg. Now people want them to include Venger into another easter egg or even like a raid boss and I hope the devs listen to that

Presto!
I know the screens are bad but I was battling for my life XD
Maybe this one you know about it... Is the easter egg from Baldur's Gate 2, where they said the guys died in the hands of Tiamat:

Also there is the Robot Chicken episode: Catch me if your a Kangaroo Jack, where they parodied Venger's single horn:

I remember seeing some jokes about the cartoon in 'The order of the stick', but I can't find where.
And also, when isn't exactly a confirmed mention or easter egg, there is a game where you can find the most similar thing to Venger that I saw in my life. Not in apparence (thought I planning to add a petition for a skin based in him XD), but about voice, especially, history and way of speaking.
There is a game, a moba (multiplayer online battle arena), called League of Legends and there is a character, a champion, called Mordekaiser. He has the most similar voice to Venger that I saw in my whole life. And not only cause his voice is Peter Cullen's material, but because his lines sound like something Venger could say (except maybe his joke and I found that also possible XD The joke is: I like my weapons how I like my music: Heavy and Metal!)
Mordekaiser has a 'Sauron' skin and a 'Heavy Metal singer' skin over others but I really think he deserves a Venger one
And wouldn't be the first time LoL devs give something from the 80's, there is a champion, a spartan, called Pantheon that has a He-man skin based

Here you can hear his voice and see some of his skins
Also there is another champion that I see pretty more like Shadow Demon, but deadly, called Nocturne. I know, I know, Shadow Demon isn't the first shadow character in the world and this maybe isn't based in him (in fact, I doubt it because this champion is really deadly XD) but is curious for a darker fanfic or future series version of this character:

Well, besides from these places... Do you have some more?
