Category:Fictional cyborgs

Must be a defining trait - A "cyborg" is loosely and deliberately defined here as a being with both "biological or organic" parts and "artificial or synthetic" parts, regardless of either source being "natural" or a "fabrication^{[disambiguation needed]}". 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 organism or primarily organic organism 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. The differences between the two frequently becomes more "philosophical" than "physical", as are often the case with fictional cyborgs when dealing with the boundary between "human" and "machine".

Wikimedia Commons has media related to Cyborgs in fiction.

This category is for fictional characters who are cyborgs created via emerging disciplines, such as: bioroids, biomechatronics, bioships, hybrots, plantoids, and replicants.

Examples of quintessential cyborgs would be:

Motoko Kusanagi from the Ghost in the Shell series, a cyborg with a functional synthetic-central nervous system encased in synthetic gynoid-construct.
Reapers from the Mass Effect series, an advanced Type-III "machine race" of synthetic-organic sapient starships that harvest and assimilate sentient life forms in a repeating reproductive cycle of purges.
