In games, the player is usually the ambushee, not the ambusher, but certain multiplayer and open-world games give players a chance to try this sneaky tactic themselves.
Anarchism is the rejection of all government authority.
Most games based on this mythology adapts the One Thousand and One Nights tale.
A gang of criminals in the city of Duckburg. They are always after Scrooge McDuck's money.
The ultimate enemy and primordial source of all evil. In Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Fantasy universe.
A person serving time in prison or an escaped criminal on the run from the law.
A person who herds cattle on ranches. Cowboys are emblematic of the early 19th century in the American southwest, and became conflated with gunslinger types in the public imagination.
Currency has all forms in video games. It is used to buy characters, vehicles, weapons, and more.
Fairly weak enemies (not specific characters) that go down in a couple shots or swings, but will keep coming in droves.
The Gerudo are a tribe of thieves that live in the desert. This group is primarily female.
A form of execution, or suicide, in which a person is hanged by the neck until dead - from a broken neck if they're lucky, strangulation if they're not.
Henchmen are the loyal grunts caught in between the player and the main antagonist. Without them every game would be nothing more than a boss battle.
The act of breaking the law.
Nomads are people with no permanent settlement.
Piercing weapons are designed primarily for stabbing and puncturing to cause damage rather than slicing or cutting. Examples include knives, daggers, spears, lances, needles, shivs or improvised weapons such as ice picks.
By definition, a pirate is a (mostly naval) robber without commission from a sovereign nation. While maritime robbery has been around since ancient times, Piracy had its highpoint during the 17th century. They are easily identified by the "Jolly Roger", which is the traditional name of the famous skull flag.
Police are paid protectors who enforce the law through legal use of force. They are supposed to help ensure public safety and social order. Their motto is to protect and to serve.
Larceny by threat of violence. In video games you either plan and executes such robberies, or your job is to prevent them.
Rocket Grunt (Known as Rocket in Generation 1) is a low ranking personal in the Rocket Organization that frequents the Pokemon world. They use a wide variety of pokemon, but most commonly are seen with zubats, koffings, and ekans.
A playable class in many roleplaying games. Rogues are also sometimes known as Thieves. The class in almost all these games center around their stealth capabilities.
A person involved in the illegal transportation of goods.
Using stealth often requires the player to accomplish their objective without being detected by enemies. Methods of detection can vary from game to game, and can be based on an enemy's line of sight, how quiet the player is, or even how the player interacts with the environment.
Many games that feature a theft mechanic also include a some form of risk or punishment. Other games just let players steal things as if it's a perfectly normal thing to do.
War is a series of organized conflicts carried on by force of arms between two or more nations or groups. Whether it never changes or has already changed is up for debate.
