* ''VideoGame/{{Pikmin}}'': While most of PNF-404's fauna is notable for its aggressive and predatory natures and their tendency to gobble the titular creatures in vast amounts, numerous creatures throughout the games are completely unable to directly harm player characters or their Pikmin. Some can cause harm in more indirect ways, such as the Breadbugs ({{Bandit Mook}}s who steal treasures back to their dens), the Puffy Blowhogs (who shoot guest of air that knock Pikmin about and scatter them) and the Swarming Sheargrubs (who consume [[PowerUp nectar]] before Pikmin can and cling on fruit to make it heavier and require more Pikmin to carry back), but others (like the butterfly-like Spectralids, the nectar-carrying Honeywisps or the timid, leaf-like Skitterleaves) cannot even do that, and largely serve as extra sources of nectar and/or Pikmin seeds that need to be chased down before they escape.

(not sure how to classify ''Pikmin'' -- it doesn't fit genres very well. Maybe RealTimeStrategy?)

* ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'': Slimes are a kind of AsteroidsMonster that attack players by ramming into them and usually come in three sizes, huge, normal and small, the larger ones splitting into two to four slimes of the next size tier down upon death. The larger kinds deal damage like all hostile mobs do -- the huge ones dealing more than the normal ones -- but small slimes cannot deal any damage. They will still tackle the player, but they cannot do more than lightly push them back -- which, however, can still be threat if the player is standing next to a cliff or another high drop.

On that note, would this be a super-trope to BanditMook as well?
