* TheOrderOfTheStick: Belkar [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0326.html accidentally defeats a hydra]] by chopping off its heads until there isn't enough blood to supply all of them. A passing goblin notices the comatose hydra and sets up an enormously successful barbecue shack thanks to a neverending supply of meat. * Also from Greek myth: the giant Antaeus challenged travellers to a wrestling match to the death, without mentioning that every time he was in contact with his mother the Earth (i.e., thrown to the ground), [[HopelessBossFight his health and energy were completely restored]]. When Heracles came along, he solved the problem by hoisting Antaeus in the air with one hand and strangling him with the other. * GoldenSunTheLostAge: The Serpent boss can be fought as soon as it's found without exploring the Gaia Rock maze, but it regenerates 200 HP per round (same as the game's legendarily difficult BonusBoss). While a local hero is feeding it barrel after barrel of sake in the hopes of weakening it, the real point of the dungeon is to let shafts of light fall onto the dragon, weakening it to the point where it can be defeated (regenerating only 30 HP per round). * {{Animorphs}}: Morphing normally heals all injuries, but there have been notable exceptions, few of which are explained beyond DramaPreservingHandicap: suffering ModeLock (Tobias is stuck in hawk morph at the beginning of the series so an injury would be particularly devastating, when the ability is restored he can heal but still has to live as a bird), a genetic disease (a crashed Andalite refuses to fight because the disease stays with him when he demorphs, while another is allergic to the morphing process and cannot repair his severed tail), time travel (Tobias breaks his wing while in the Cretaceous and can't restore it), and possibly old age (Jake ends up in a BadFuture where Rachel is a complete wreck in a wheelchair, with no indication that she'd lost her morphing ability). * WarcraftIII: ** The expansion introduced several freely available healing items that restore health and/or mana over time (Scroll of Regeneration, Clarity Potion...) with the caveat that the effect ends as soon as the unit takes damage. ** Inverted with the Phoenix and Destroyer units, who have ''negative'' health and mana regeneration respectively. The Phoenix respawns every time it dies (unless its egg is destoyed), while the Destroyer has several spells that let it eat mana or status buffs to empower its attacks.
