** In 3rd Edition, Erythunhal, the God of Slaughter, can go into a rage that shifts his form every round. This doesn't affect his stats, but if he takes any damage, his blood becomes a living creature of the current form he's in, which proceeds to join the battle. Similarly, Asmodeus is bleeding constantly from [[WoundThatWillNotHeal the massive injuries he suffered when thrown into the Nine Hells]], and each drop of blood becomes an extremely powerful pit fiend. (''Their'' blood becomes powerful demons of lesser rank, who do not have this ability in turn.)

* ''Literature/AscendanceOfABookworm'': Due to Myne having magic, her blood impacting the ground creates fey-beasts.



* In ''Comicbook/{{Hellboy}}'': "The Nature of the Beast", there's a legend that when the monk who first killed the St. Leonard Worm was injured fighting the dragon, lilies grew from where his blood fell. When Hellboy fights the Worm, lilies grow from where ''his'' blood fell as well. This is significant because Hellboy is a half demon and the prophesied {{Antichrist}}, but he is so good despite this fact that he becomes an AntiAntichrist.
* A major element in ''ComicBook/PlanetHulk'', as Hulk's blood creating life gives greater proof that the Hulk is indeed the prophecised Sakaarson, savior of the world of Sakaar. It's heavily implied this is because Sakaar is a radiation-heavy planet and the plant life are radiovorous.
