* ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'': Several of Fontaine's Local Legends resemble {{Elite Mook}}s, tricky but manageable with a good party setup. Many unsuspecting players found out the hard way that they have as many as ''three million'' hit points and can pull off a near-OneHitKill on even the tankiest characters (that being said, many of the underwater ones are {{Puzzle Boss}}es that can be taken down relatively quickly by absorbing powers from the right creature; no such luck for their land-based counterparts, though). The most extreme examples are Rocky and Liam, who are by all outward appearances [[GoldfishPoopGang Treasure Hoarders]] who are nonetheless capable of the above feats. Defeating each Local Legend for the first time nets an achievement.

** Upon entering The Hunter's Nightmare, the first area of the DLC, the player is almost immediately confronted with an Old Hunter swinging a [[{{BFS}} huge slab]] of a WhipSword around and being a general menace. [[BeefGate He's quite challenging for the level you're likely at when you first enter the DLC]]... unfortunately, he also happens to be a regular, respawning mook in this area and there are both [[SinisterScythe Saif]] and [[DropTheHammer Hammer]]-wielding variants of him. What's worse is that there are also [[RedEyesTakeWarning vermin-infested]] Old Hunters who are many times stronger than the base versions. Thankfully, the vermin-infested ''do not'' respawn.

* ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'': Ninianne of the Lake and Vivianne of the Lake, two of Fontaine's Local Legends, look like [[EliteMook Tainted Hydro Phantasms]], tricky but manageable with a good party setup. Many unsuspecting players found out the hard way that the two have over ''three million'' hit points and can pull off a near-OneHitKill on even the tankiest characters. Defeating each one for the first time nets an achievement.
