While it's pretty common for RPGs to give your party a thief as a team member, or otherwise give the player an ability to swipe goods off an opponent during battle, it is relatively rare to encounter monsters or foes that do the same thing to you, even when you're specifically fighting thieves as opponents. Now enter the Bandit Mook. This is the occasional Mook who isn't interested in your party's demise so much as it is in your Bag of Holding. It may have a share of normal attacks, but it is unlikely to do any serious harm — its signature attack pattern is to swipe something from your Hyperspace Arsenal then disappear as quickly as possible, taking the stolen goods with him. Fenced goods may be gone forever if stolen, so for this reason it will (usually) interest itself only in items that can be easily replaced at local shops. After all, if the Bandit Mook randomly made off with your hard-earned MacGuffins and Plot Coupons, this could render your game unwinnable, and that would make players very angry. Defeating a Bandit Mook frequently results in the immediate recovery of any stolen goods; but this isn't always the case, especially if it was just cash. (Exactly how it can keep you from physically looting its corpse is a mystery, but then again, it may be because Everything Fades.) The obvious exemption from this trope is if an item (important or otherwise) is stolen solely because the plot demands it, like the MacGuffin Delivery Service. Compare Mooks Ate My Equipment. May overlap with Harmless Enemy. Not to be confused with mooks who happen to be bandits in-story, unless they're also Bandit Mooks in gameplay terms too. Most tend to become Cowardly Mooks as well. |

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow has the Chupacabras, who would appear at several points during the game and steal items requiring you to complete a puzzle/section without some of the most powerful equipment & hunt them down. In universe they're seen as so annoying that a brotherhood knight is said to be forming an extermination squad in a note found on his body, out of universe they're removed from both of the sequels. | |

In the expansion to Command & Conquer: Tiberium Wars, Kane's Wrath, each faction got access to a one-at-a-time Tactical Superweapon Unit. GDI, essentially the 'good guys', got the MARVnote Mammoth Armed Reclamation Vehicle, a unit designed, in-universe, to reclaim territory taken over by the Alien Kudzu known as Tiberium, which also serves as the game's resource. Normally, you'd use unarmed (or in GDI's case, armed with a peashooter machine gun only good for dealing with light infantry and vehicles) harvesters for this which would then return to refineries to earn you credits, but the MARV is the very image of Tank Goodness, armed and armoured befitting an Epic unit, and a Refinery On Wheels on top, which means it converts any Tiberium to credits instantly. Why does this make it a Bandit Unit? Because GDI players tend to send it rampaging through the opponent's Tiberium fields, robbing them of resources. You try stopping something like this. | |

The Scumbags in the Star Ocean series can steal a varying money based on their strength, and are very prone to running away. You can get your money back if you defeat them before they escape, though. In the fourth game, you can actually get it back with interest if you're using equipment that boosts the money you gain after battle, which can make fighting them an extremely profitable venture. | |

Monster Hunter: Melynxes will attack the player to steal an item (even if you happen to be in the middle of a fight with a giant dragon) and try to run away with it. Defeating them gets it back. If they do escape, however, there is a "lair" somewhere in the area that you can get them back from. An additional source of relief is the item Felvine, which if you carried it would always be the item stolen first. There is also the Gypceros, a bandit boss who can steal items from you with its pecking, and unlike the melynxes there is no way to recover anything stolen. This can be very infuriating if the item stolen happens to be the trap that you needed to capture it! Just as aggravating is the Chameleos, a bandit Elder Dragon who can steal items from you with its tongue, and like the Gypceros any pilfered items are lost for good. In Rise, they stop stealing items, but instead start stealing Spiribird pollen to enhance itself, taking away from what you already got. |

The second installment in the Descent series has the Thief Bot. They attempt to sneak up on you, then run away so that you get attacked by hoards of other bots as you try to chase them down to get your powerups back. They are extremely durable and agile, so they're quite difficult to take down. You can be warned of their presence by their distinctive chirping sound, which will instantly drive the player into a frenzy of paranoia and rage until the damn thing is taken down. | |

In Growlanser series, the imp and Cat Girl enemies will steal items and gold from party members. The Cat Girl enemies will then make a dash for the nearest exit from the battlefield, rendering your items Permanently Missable if they manage to do so.

Hyrule Warriors: Adventure Mode challenges will sometimes involve "Thief" enemies that can steal your magic, sub-weapons, or rupees if they connect with an attack. Item Thieves in particular will keep coming back to steal more weapons until they're beaten. They're generally just a minor annoyance, as you can fight well even without those resources, but Rupee Thieves will only show up when the goal is hoarding rupees to begin with. | |

The various groups of Bandits, Sea Raiders, Looters and Deserters in Mount & Blade play with this trope a little. You get a chance to beat the living hell out of them first, but if you do lose to them in battle then they take you prisoner, and will quite happily relieve you of things in your inventory: spare weapons, spare armour, your actual weapons, your horse, party members, quest items. Annoyingly, even though the quest items they may actually steal are pretty common and easy enough to pick up in any village, you will fail the quest if they take them... | |

In Streets of Rogue, random Thieves may sneak on the player and stealing a item before running away, sometimes even using the item on the player if you get too close. This is the case in most playthoughs unless you are playing a Thief yourself, in which case, you get to do the stealing alongside not needing to worry about others stealing from you due to a trait called Honor Among Thieves. | |

The Smirking Sneak Thief in Castle of the Winds can steal your money or whatever's on your belt, then randomly teleport to anywhere else in the level. Very agile and requires three fireballs worth of damage to kill. You can get your stuff back if you can find and kill it. | |

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey presents Macca Beam, an enemy-exclusive skill you'll run into as early as Sector B, which forces the target to drop a fraction of the team's Macca and has an extremely high accuracy rate. Then the final sector introduces Wastrel Beam, which cuts your Macca in half. Macca is just "energy" in this game, so killing the enemy won't give it back. Very often, players will just reload from an earlier save than go to the trouble of earning back all the money lost; in terms of economic damage, a Total Party Kill would be less painful. And no, your demons can never have this skill. The moves return in Shin Megami Tensei IV. It's even more infuriating here; money is incredibly scarce in IV. |

Thieves in the Fire Emblem series can usually unlock and loot chests if you don't get to them quickly enough, and will them promptly make off with the goods if you don't kill them before they leave the map. Sometimes they'll perform other acts of banditry, and aim for nearby villages instead which usually have gold or useful items if you warn them to shut their gates. Depending on the game, the thieves may or may not be able to steal items from your slower characters. | |

In Borderlands 2, Rat Thieves and Rat Bastards live up to their names by picking your pocket while you're busy fighting their brothers. You can get the money back by killing them before they lock it away in their cash stashes. An unattentive player can easily lose millions. Also, all Rats will scavenge any dropped loot, ammo, and money they come across. In that case it's more of a "finders keepers" thing than directly stealing from you, though, which fortunately, they can't do. | |

Kirby: TAC from Kirby Super Star can steal your ability — or outright kidnap your partner. The Mirror World of Kirby & the Amazing Mirror has Droppies, which will suck any copy abilities out of Kirby and then transform into a common enemy that can use that ability before running away. However, if no common enemy uses the ability Kirby has copy, the Droppy will simply turn red before it running away with a pained expression on its face. In either case, Kirby can get the ability back by swallowing the Droppy before it gets away. Kirby: Squeak Squad has the eponymous Squad who will always pop out to steal the giant treasure chest of the level the moment you pick it up. And they will keep going after it until you either finish the stage or beat the member of the Squeaks' Quirky Mini Boss Squad currently after you inside their base, which require letting said member take a treasure in then entering before they can lock the entrance. |

Golden Axe has little sack-bearing gnomes who, when encountered in the usual game, will drop a magic jar every time they're hit. In between major sections of the game, however, the gnomes will steal all of the players' magic pots. The players are given a short time to attack the gnomes and reclaims some pots before the gnomes run away. This mechanic encourages players to use all of their magic before the end of a major section of the game. If they do, they'll usually come out of these sequences with more magic than they started with. | |

The Binding of Isaac has a variation: Greed (and the smaller "greed-heads" and the larger Super Greed) doesn't actually steal your money directly, but getting hit by his attacks causes you to drop 2 pennies, but lose 3 from your total count. You can always pick up the pennies Greed made you drop, but that 3rd cent is lost forever. The final boss of Greed Mode can also beat the coins out of you, but does pick them up if you don't snatch them back. Not only does this prevent you from depositing those coins in the Greed Machine after the boss fight, but they also heal him for a minimal amount. | |

Don't Starve has a few monsters like this: Gobblers are turkey-like critters that randomly pop out of berry bushes, and will eat the berries off nearby bushes you haven't already harvested. Frogs will knock items out of your inventory with their attacks. Splumonkeys will not only knock items out of your inventory, but then pick them up. Many monsters, including Pig-men, will eat any food you leave lying on the ground. If you've been "naughty" and killed too many non-hostile mobs too quickly, The Krampus will show up and steal items from your treasure chests. |

For maximum irony, cops in PAYDAY 2 can steal any loot bags that you leave lying around, carrying them to undesirable parts of the map or even taking them completely (bags critical to the mission can't disappear). Shooting the cop that is holding a bag will force him to drop it. If you're quick enough with the interaction button, you can steal the bags right off the cop's back! | |

PAYDAY 3 introduces hostage rescue teams, who will aim to free any tied down hostages you have taken. With hostages being as valuable as they are due to the additional resources they can provide between waves, they're high priority targets.

Warframe has several examples: Grineer Drahk masters steal players weapons by whacking it out of their hands with a rocket-powered boomerang. Fortunately, the attack does minimal damage, and the dropped weapon can be picked back up off the ground; the real trick is noticing when it happens in the first place. Scavenger Drones, meanwhile, snatch up any dropped loot within a certain radius of themselves — and anything they capture has a chance of being lost. Finally, Kuva Liches, introduced in Update 26, will tax a portion of all rewards obtained in missions that are within their area of influence. Killing them, however, will reimburse you with everything that they stole. |

Dwarf from King's Quest I: Quest For The Crown steals whatever treasure you're carrying. If this happens while you're carrying one of the three Plot Coupon treasures, the game becomes unwinnable. The dwarf returns in King's Quest II: Romancing the Throne, but this time he deposits your treasures in his house where you can steal them back. King's Quest III: To Heir Is Human has bandits, which take everything you've got and put it in their (hidden) house. Here it's required to break into their hideout because it's the only way to get money for a few spell components. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: Swindlespitters are small dinosaurs who normally feed on the eggs of bigger creatures. However, they're not especially bright and tend to confuse small to medium-sized man-made objects for strange eggs. Consequently, one of their main gameplay uses is to filch objects such as books, backpacks and the like from player camps, carry them off into the jungle, and send players chasing after them to retrieve their goods before the creature can tear them to pieces to get to the yolk it's sure is in there somewhere. | |

Dwarf Fortress: Kea birds are infamous for this. With their ability to fly and tendency to appear in large flocks, they are a major nuisance to most players, often seen stealing the fort's sole anvil before even any metalsmithing industry is established. They can steal artifacts, too. Giant kea share this tendency and add enough size and aggression to eviscerate dwarves that try to stop them. | |

In the Den in Fallout 2, there is a gang of kids who'll pick the player's pockets if he/she steps too near to them — which is necessary as they lurk at buildings' doors — and try to carry off their loot to their leader. Of course, the player can steal their items back from them. Or if you really hate the snot-nosed little shits, you can play a game Grenade Tag and reverse pickpocket a grenade into their inventories with no reputation penalties whatsoever! | |

Adventure: The bat will randomly snatch up objects and deposit them elsewhere. This can actually be beneficial to you, as on the highest difficulty objects are randomly distributed on the map and sometimes the Gold Key ends up inside the Gold Castle; the bat doesn't care about locked doors, however, and will drag the key out into the open. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask has the infamous Takkuri, a bird that not only steals rupees but also an empty bottle or even your sword. When this happens you have to go to a curiosity shop, whose owner is probably the owner of the Takkuri, and buy them back overpriced. As if weren't enough the Takkuri requires fifteen hits to be killed. On the other hand, once killed it leaves a rupee the value of two hundred normal ones. Note that you could always play the Song of Time to go back in time and regain your stolen stuff free of charge, but it's a little jarring to do that if you'd made a lot of progress on that particular day. A Link to the Past has a thief enemy as well. While he never steals anything of great importance (just bombs, arrows, rupees etc.), he's 10x a bigger pain in the ass than the Takkuri by virtue of the fact that he can't be killed or even stunned. There's also Pikits, who hop around and attempt to snatch rupees, arrows, bombs, and even your shield from you with their tongue. Maple, the Cute Witch in the Oracle games, has exactly the same mechanic as the thief except with a twist. She bumps into you and scatters not just your items, but hers as well. Cue frantically running around trying to get as much stuff as possible! This almost always works out in your favor as the items she drops (rings, gasha seeds, and even heart pieces) are infinitely more valuable than the things you drop (bombs and rupees). You can even equip a ring that increases the Maple encounters. The rats in The Wind Waker are something of a variation. Normally they run at Link and knock rupees out of his wallet on a hit. The rats steal the highest-value rupees that they knock loose and Link has to kill the rats if he wants the money back. However they're much more interested in the All-Purpose Bait you're carrying and, if you give them some, they'll not only leave you alone but also offer to sell you stuff. Hyrule Warriors: Adventure Mode challenges will sometimes involve "Thief" enemies that can steal your magic, sub-weapons, or rupees if they connect with an attack. Item Thieves in particular will keep coming back to steal more weapons until they're beaten. They're generally just a minor annoyance, as you can fight well even without those resources, but Rupee Thieves will only show up when the goal is hoarding rupees to begin with. |

The Mirror World of Kirby & the Amazing Mirror has Droppies, which will suck any copy abilities out of Kirby and then transform into a common enemy that can use that ability before running away. However, if no common enemy uses the ability Kirby has copy, the Droppy will simply turn red before it running away with a pained expression on its face. In either case, Kirby can get the ability back by swallowing the Droppy before it gets away. | |

Paper Mario 64 had Bandits in Dry Dry Desert, who stole coins from Mario with each attack, fleeing the battle on the next turn. Attacking them made them drop the loot, with Mario recovering it immediately. They return in the sequel as common enemies, some of which can steal items and even badges, and must be defeated to regain your stolen loot. They also appear as neutral NPCs. |

Final Fantasy VI had one enemy in Mt. Zozo, a bear whose primary strategy was stealing four digits of Gil, then suddenly fleeing on the next turn. If defeated first, it returns the exact amount it stole. If Relm is in the party with her Cat-Ear Hood, he'll somehow drop twice what he stole (the Cat-Ear Hood doubles Gil drops.) |

Yoshi's Island have Bandits that steal Baby Mario or any other babies from your back and run off with him as he screams and the timer goes down. Luckily, they can never fully run away. Frogs and Solo Toadies also do it too. They can steal coins from Mario during the Paper Mario series, as well as Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, though they also use smoke bombs and decoy bombs in the latter to help them in battles and snatch and grabs. Little Mousers come from the same series, but are different in that they are interested in Yoshi's eggs and/or coins instead of Baby Mario. |

Ape Escape 2 has Lousy Rats, who steal your coins if they come in contact with you, and dash away when they do; if they run away long enough, they'll teleport away with your stolen coins, but if you can defeat them before that, they give the stolen coins back. However, coins briefly increase in value if you collect enough in a row, so actually letting the Lousy Rats steal your coins is a risky but rewarding way to make lots more money than what was stolen from you. | |

The rest of the Command & Conquer series also has the Engineer unit, which can steal(i.e.: take over) enemy structures. If you did this to enemy Refineries or Silos, this also took the money they contained. The first Red Alert game gave the Allies a Thief unit whose entire purpose was to infiltrate and loot enemy Refineries/Silos. Later games in the series gave that ability to their Spy units. | |

Metal Gear Solid has an event where Solid Snake loses an important item several floors below him and has to get it back. If you're not quick enough, a rat will eat it and run around the perimeter of the room, including inside the tiny vents. If this happens, you have to set up a claymore mine at one of the entry points to blow up the rat and get the item back. | |

Mega Man 11 has the "Anti-Eddie" enemy, which looks like an evil clone of the same Eddie that gives you items, but with a skull logo on its head. You will approach an item (such as an Extra Life or Large Energy Refill), then Anti-Eddie will pop out of the ground and run to the opposite side of the screen kinda fast. It is highly recommended to use the Speed Gear to destroy him before he jumps off the screen, taking the item with him. | |

Final Fantasy VII had enemies that steal items from you, including accessories. You could get them back if you killed them fast enough. If. Final Fantasy VIII has the Lefty/Righty's, a pair of hands that can Draw-Cast spells from you, with a corresponding depletion in your spell inventory. Final Fantasy IX has item-stealing enemies too, but you have to use Zidane to steal them back. The Final Fantasy Tactics series have Thief as a job/class for human units and were usually the first targets players went after other than the White Mages. Aside from being very fast and having high evasion, enemy thieves, like your thieves, can steal money, items, and equipment, which could lead to a Permanently Missable Content if an enemy thief stole a unique piece of equipment. In Final Fantasy Tactics A2, thieves got nerfed and can only steal pieces of loot, money, and accessories. The new Viking class is capable of stealing armor with their Pillage ability, though. |

The Meta-Being known as Gliro in Baroque likes to steal an item from your inventory, then flee at top speed. And yes, it can snatch the sword right out of your hands or the coat right off your back. If you manage to chase it down and kill — er, purify it, it will drop whatever it stole from you... but sometimes the Gliro chooses to throw the item at you in self-defense, in which case the item will be lost forever. | |

Splatoon's Salmon Run mode has a couple: The Snatchers are a type of common Salmonid which spawn after a Boss Salmonid is defeated. They can't attack players, but they will attempt to take the Golden Eggs left on the ground back into the sea. Splatting them will make them drop any eggs they're carrying, but more Snatchers will continue to spawn until you pick the eggs up yourself and take them to the egg basket. While the ones in Splatoon 2 are bound to the ground and can only hold up to three eggs at once, the ones in Splatoon 3 can carry multiple Golden Eggs at once, and pilot tiny aircraft to grab out-of-the-way eggs, such as those left on a Fish Stick. During certain Salmon Run waves, you will be faced with the Mothership, which can steal Golden Eggs right out of your egg basket. Shooting at it enough while it's attempting to siphon from your basket will push it back temporarily, but it will attempt to steal your eggs twice before the wave is over. |

Minecraft: If you die and drop all your items, any nearby zombies can pick some of them up and even use them as weapons to hit you with. Killing the bandit zombies may or may not get you your stuff back. | |

A Link to the Past has a thief enemy as well. While he never steals anything of great importance (just bombs, arrows, rupees etc.), he's 10x a bigger pain in the ass than the Takkuri by virtue of the fact that he can't be killed or even stunned. There's also Pikits, who hop around and attempt to snatch rupees, arrows, bombs, and even your shield from you with their tongue. | |

The Option Hunter/Thief from the Gradius series sort of counts. It doesn't kill you on contact, but if he touches you or your options, it steals your options away from you! They're invulnerable too, so the only thing you can do is avoid letting it touch your stuff. | |

The Final Fantasy Tactics series have Thief as a job/class for human units and were usually the first targets players went after other than the White Mages. Aside from being very fast and having high evasion, enemy thieves, like your thieves, can steal money, items, and equipment, which could lead to a Permanently Missable Content if an enemy thief stole a unique piece of equipment. In Final Fantasy Tactics A2, thieves got nerfed and can only steal pieces of loot, money, and accessories. The new Viking class is capable of stealing armor with their Pillage ability, though. | |

Played with the monkeys in the first level of ''Tomb Raider III'. Early on, there's a small health kit in the open and a monkey will attempt to swipe it. If it succeeds, you could kill it to get it back or follow it where it'll lead you to a switch you need to progress and drop the health kit there. Another monkey later on will also steal another health kit and following it will have it lead you a box of flares while placing the kit there too. Towards the end of the level, a monkey will steal a key needed to exit the level, but unlike the other the monkeys, it'll just waste your time by running in circles, so you've no choice but to kill it. | |

Probably the best known example of this trope to originate from a pre-2000 FPS is the Gremlin from Quake Mission Pack Number 1: Scourge of Armagon. As a unique twist, they can only steal weapons (and only one per individual Gremlin), & they can't steal melee weapons or weapons that are automatically in your inventory when you start a new game (your battle-axe falls into both "exempt" categories, Mjolnir falls into the former "exempt" category, and your single-barrel shotgun falls into the latter "exempt" category). However, when they steal a weapon, they know how to use it, and boy will they use it just as effectively as you can. Additionally, they can eat dead enemy remains (be it whole corpses or gibs) & will spawn 1 copy of themselves for every set of remains they manage to finish eating, and if you're wielding a weapon they can't steal, their attempt to steal it will hurt you from the resulting claw scratches. On the upside, unlike most modern Bandit Mooks, killing it lets you get the stolen weapon back (including any ammo the weapon has left when the Gremlin is killed — yes, they actually take some of the relevant ammo when they steal a weapon from you), and the cloning ability can be stopped by killing it when it's eating. | |

Gauntlet has the Thief, who steals treasure or, if possible, a potion from a player (selected randomly if two, three or four are playing). They also love to infuriate their victim by running away at lightning speeds proclaiming "YOU CAN'T CATCH ME!" in primitive digitized speech. The sequel added a similar character called the Mugger, who just takes some of your life force. |

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has a bandit boss: Upon depleting Valefar's health the first time, he'll steal all your money to replenish his health, so if you've been hoarding your money when you face him, enjoy the brutal slugfest, but this also means that if you've been extravagant with your spending, he's not going to recover much (if at all) and will die again soon enough. | |

Kirby: Squeak Squad has the eponymous Squad who will always pop out to steal the giant treasure chest of the level the moment you pick it up. And they will keep going after it until you either finish the stage or beat the member of the Squeaks' Quirky Mini Boss Squad currently after you inside their base, which require letting said member take a treasure in then entering before they can lock the entrance. | |

Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire introduced Mons that learn item-stealing moves naturally, such as Linoone (with Covet), potentially making them Bandit Mooks. As well as item-disabling moves like Knock Off. The Generation IV games took it up a notch with moves like Pluck, which damages the enemy and eats any berry the target is holding. | |

Spoofed in a Kingdom of Loathing April Fool's Day "sneak preview" with a Disco Bandit NPC. The preview also demonstrated an NPC special attack that would destroy all worn/wielded equipment. Subverted with the dirty thieving bandits; the game currency is meat, but they steal it from your hitpoints rather than your wallet. | |

Super Mario: Super Mario 64 had Klepto the Condor in Shifting Sands Land and Tiny-Huge Island, who steals Mario's hat. Mario would take more damage until he got his hat back or left the level. He also appears in some areas of Super Mario Odyssey, where he steals Cappy and you have to get him back to progress. Super Mario Sunshine had Swipin' Stus lurking the beach in some chapters of Pinna Park, who would attempt to fall onto Mario and steal his hat. Without his trademark sky piece to protect him from the sun, he'd suffer heat stroke and slowly take damage until he either got his hat back or entered the park (which reset it). Yoshi's Island have Bandits that steal Baby Mario or any other babies from your back and run off with him as he screams and the timer goes down. Luckily, they can never fully run away. Frogs and Solo Toadies also do it too. They can steal coins from Mario during the Paper Mario series, as well as Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, though they also use smoke bombs and decoy bombs in the latter to help them in battles and snatch and grabs. Little Mousers come from the same series, but are different in that they are interested in Yoshi's eggs and/or coins instead of Baby Mario. |

Early Assassin's Creed installments had the occasional thief that would bump into the Player Character in the streets and make off with a decent amount of their money via Le Parkour. It was possible (though often quite tedious) to get the coin back by running after the sucker and catching him with a full-body tackle. Killing him, however, would put you on the authorities' radar for some reason, by raising your notoriety. Since these games usually included a basic economy system that gave the player a regular income every thirty realtime minutes, thieves can be considered an anti-cheating feature to prevent players from leaving the game running overnight as a cheap source of money. Not that it did much good — there are more than enough places where time passes normally but thieves can't touch you. | |
