- The Ptolemaic army was the army of the Macedonian kings that ruled Egypt from 305 to 30 BC. Like most of the other armies of the Diadochi, it was very much Macedonian in style, which was the use of the long pike (sarissa) in a deep phalanx formation. Despite the strength of the Ptolemaic army, evidenced in 217 BC with the victory over the Seleucids at the Battle of Raphia the Ptolemaic kingdom itself fell into decline and by the time of Julius Caesar it was but a mere client-kingdom of the Roman Republic. The army by the time of Caesar’s campaigns in the eastern Mediterranean was a mere shadow of its former self, being highly disorganized and based around mercenaries and other foreign troops.
- The Ptolemaic Army is the villainous group in Metal Slug 5. They are an armed guerrilla formed by mercenaries and special agents, having a full arsenal of weaponry and sophisticated machines under their disposal, which includes an assortment of combat mechas. However, the Ptolemaic Army is founded and commanded by the members of a mysterious cult of masked shamans called the "Ptolemaics" at the core of the Army, who worship an ancient demon known as the Evil Spirit Incarnate, and seek to achieve world domination by bringing this demon back into our world.

| - The Ptolemaic Army serves as the main antagonists of Metal Slug 5. Their motives are unclear, but are likely to center around world domination.
- The Ptolemaic Army is the villainous group in Metal Slug 5. They are an armed guerrilla formed by mercenaries and special agents, having a full arsenal of weaponry and sophisticated machines under their disposal, which includes an assortment of combat mechas. However, the Ptolemaic Army is founded and commanded by the members of a mysterious cult of masked shamans called the "Ptolemaics" at the core of the Army, who worship an ancient demon known as the Evil Spirit Incarnate, and seek to achieve world domination by bringing this demon back into our world. To help further this goal, their agents infiltrated the Regular Army headquarters and stole a disk containing data about the latest generation Metal Slugs, as well as many other vehicles used by the Regular Army and the Rebel Army. Using this data, they created their own variations of the Metal Slug, which included a gigantic sized Metal Slug and the Black Hound, which was an enhanced Metal Slug in all aspects. Treating the incident with utmost urgency, Regular Army HQ orders the P.F. Squad and S.P.A.R.R.O.W.S. soldiers to follow the tracks of the Ptolemaic Army and stop whatever plan they have in mind. The conflict ended with the demon being defeated. However, it flew away before it's true identity could be revealed. The Ptolemaic threat seemed to be at an end.
