* A self-inflicted case with Hanch, the first boss in ''VideoGame/Drakengard2''. To make a Pact with a supernatural being, you must sacrifice some aspect of yourself; Caim, the main character of the first game, sacrificed his voice, for example. Hanch sacrificed her "charm", and went from being so beautiful that she was known as "Sunsmile" to being a pale, emaciated wreck with shadowed eyes.



* Inverted in ''VideoGame/KingsQuestIV'' where the ugly, but good hearted [[TheIgor Igor-like]] Edgar is turned into a PrinceCharming by the fairy Genesta for his part in helping the Heroine. Though a later {{Retcon}} made it so that was his original form.
* In ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4'', Snake apparently thinks of his RapidAging as this.

* In ''TabletopGame/VampireTheMasquerade'', the [[LooksLikeOrlok Nosferatu Clan]] often Embraces vain, beautiful people, cursing them into looking like them. Depending on the individual vampire's tastes, this is done for two reasons: Some do this to teach "TheBeautifulElite" a lesson in humility, while others like to do this [[ForTheEvulz just so they can watch models and actors writhe in agony]]. Unfortunate victims of this kind of "lesson" are dubbed "Cleopatras", allegedly after the character in ''Film/{{Freaks}}''.

There's an NPC in the Mexico City book who made the mistake of pissing off Sascha Vykos; Vykos sealed up all his orifices, then had one of their underlings Embrace him. The man has to ''chisel'' his eyes and mouth out on a nightly basis.
