OtherThe Town on the Edge of the End, a comic-book version, was published by Walt Kelly in his 1954 Pogo collection Pogo Stepmother Goose. The 1995 video game Piper is a Western re-telling of the original legend of the Pied Piper. In the anime adaptation of the Japanese light novel series, Problem Children Are Coming from Another World, Aren't They? (2013), a major story revolves around the "false legend" of Pied Piper of Hamelin. The adaptation speaks in great length about the original source and the various versions of the story that sprang up throughout the years. It is stated that Weser, the representation of Natural Disaster, was the true Piper of Hamelin (meaning the children were killed by drowning or landslides). In Ever After High, the Pied Piper has a daughter named Melody. In 2019, the collectible card game Magic: The Gathering introduced Throne of Eldraine, a new set based on European folk and fairy tales. This set contained the first direct reference to the Piper, by being named "Piper of the Swarm". This was followed in 2023 by Wilds of Eldraine, which contained further references to rats and a Pied Piper figure named Totentanz. The Pied Piper is a playable character in Ravenswatch, a 2024 video game developed by Passtech Games and published by Nacon that features many legendary characters from folklore fighting "the Nightmare".
