Added Godzilla Minus One to the Godzilla list
Added DiffLines:
** In ''Film/GodzillaMinusOne'', Godzilla is shown to have an accelerated healing factor that can heal many injuries swiftly. Godzilla gets part of his face blasted off by a sea mine, but the injury almost completely regenerates within seconds (although not perfectly, as he retains a scar from the injury for the rest of the film). Even using the atomic breath damages Godzilla now, and he relies on his regeneration to keep from incinerating himself from repeated use. [[spoiler:Even at the end, where he's reduced to large chunks of ragged decompressed flesh, he's shown regenerating from his injuries.]] Interestingly, the novelization establishes he already had it before being mutated and it's how he survived being hit by the atomic blast and mutated in the first place.

* ''Literature/SagasOfTheDemonspawn'', in the first book if your hero, Fire*Wolf prevents a slave girl's rape then he'll be rewarded with the Heal Stone which can regenerate a dice roll of Life Points each new entry between combat. But once he has recovered 50 Life Points, the stone is out of power and takes 48 hours to self-charge.

* ''Literature/BloodSword'' has a Downplayed example in the final book, there's a pile of treasure full of useful items and if the party has an Enchanter, they may find and use an armor of enchanted Electrum. This armor has the power to regenerate a bit of health each battle.
* ''Literature/LoneWolf'' can learn the very useful skill of Curing which lets Lone Wolf regenerate some health each new entry in the book.

A character is hard to kill, not because he doesn't get hurt, but because he has the ability to rapidly recover from serious damage. Although it depends on how fast he can heal and how much of a [[ChunkySalsaRule beating]] his body can take, a character with healing factor will bounce back from severe injuries that other beings can't, often with no scars or medical treatment.

* The title character of the ''Film/{{Tomie}}'' series of J-horror films has this ability to the extent that [[FromASingleCell every single individual piece of her that is cut off will eventually become a new Tomie]]. This is justified, at least in the manga it was based on, by Tomie being radiotrophic, feeding on background radiation in the air & somehow converting it into mass.
