Category:Fictional cyborgs
This category contains articles about fictional cyborgs. A "cyborg" is loosely and deliberately defined here as a being with both "biological or organic" parts and "artificial or 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, neither is a beings' life-dependency on either organics or synthetics to function properly is made, nor is distinction made between a being whose intelligence and/or sentience is organic-based or synthetic-based.
Examples of quintessential cyborgs would be:
- Motoko Kusanagi from the Ghost in the Shell series, a cyborg with a functional central nervous system encased in synthetic gynoid-construct.
- T-800 from the Terminator series, a cyborg with a microprocessor-controlled/hyperalloy combat chassis encased in living human tissue.
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.
