Revision as of 23:08, 17 June 2013

This category contains articles about fictional cyborgs. A "cyborg" is loosely and deliberately defined here as a being with both biological/organic and artificial/synthetic parts. This definition is not perfect and requires some "common sense" to be applied. For instance, the definition would seem to allow humans with a prosthesis to be considered "cyborgs" but this seems inappropriate (see Category:Fictional amputees). Furthermore, distinction between primarily robotic or primarily organic being is not made, nor is distinction made between a being whose intelligence or sentience is organic-based or synthetic-based.

Examples of quintessential cyborgs would be Motoko Kusanagi from the Ghost in the Shell series, and the T-800 from the Terminator series.

Robots, androids, and synthetics are considered distinct from cyborgs and should be classified into Category:Fictional robots or Category:Fictional androids or Fictional artificial intelligences, respectively.
