* [[Literature/{{Frankenstein}} Frankenstein's]] Monster has an adult-shaped body, although he’s about eight feet tall. However, he is [[Frankenstein’sMonster ‘‘born’’]] without any previous memories, and has to learn everything a child would (such as how to talk, or to not touch fire). In fact, one of his clues that something is odd about him is that he has no memory of being any younger than he already is.

* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles3'': Downplayed; the soldiers for the ForeverWar are grown in tubes and come out with the physical and mental maturity of ten year-olds. After a few years of training, [[ChildSoldier they are sent to the front lines]]. Most of the soldiers die there, but it's impossible for them to live past ten years, when they're physically and mentally twenty.

This is the highest honor any of them aspire to. [[spoiler:Before the send-off ceremony became what it is, "Homecoming" involved a Moebius personally executing the "lucky" survivors.]]
