* ''[[VidoeGame/TeamFortress2]]'' has Mann vs Machine, in which Bat Scouts act as this. Fragile bots with weak weapons limited to melee only, with their only real saving grace being the fact that [[FragileSpeedster they're really frickin' fast]] and [[ZergRush come pun lkarge packs]]. They're basically just fuel for the Sniper's focus meter or the Demo's Eyelander.

* The strawmen from ''VideoGame/RisingZanTheSamuraiGunman'' are... well, like the name says, living, floating scarecrows made of straw. Their sole attack is a slow, weak, extendable but easily avoidable spike in their chest, and they die in a single slash. They appear in massive numbers in the first few levels for players to practice their swing before moving on to tougher opponents like ninjas.

** Starly, Bidoof and Kricketot (Hoothoot also appears, still nocturnal, though with a smaller range than Starly) from [[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl Generation IV (Sinnoh)]]. Starly is a bit of an outlier in that it remains powerful to the end instead of becoming a CrutchCharacter.
** Pidove, Lillipup and Patrat from [[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite Generation V (Unova)]].

* ''VideoGame/{{Terraria}}'': Basic Slimes are the main enemies of the daytime Forest, usually the first environment a player would spawn in. They move in a predictable way and are easy to avoid outright. There are several variants, with some of them having the ability to shoot spikes, but they are almost always the easiest enemy of their respective biome. The Green Slime in particular is the weakest of the Slimes and one of the weakest enemies in the entire game.

* ''Blue's Journey'' for the UsefulNotes/NeoGeo has the bouncing orange darumas, UndergroundMonkey versions of which appear in later levels.

** In [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI the original]] and following games, Shadows are the weakest Heartless. They can be GoddamnedBats due to their ability to become completely invincible temporarily, though. Their powered up counterparts are the Neo-shadows, which are bigger and tougher.

* The standard cyborgs in ''VideoGame/MetalGearRising'' qualify as this, as they are the most basic enemies, and most don't even require any damage in order to slice into ribbons via blade mode.

* ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'':

* [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog1 Motora/]][[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog4 Motobug]] from the ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' series.

* The Troop-type enemies from ''VideoGame/CrisisBeat'' are the lowest-ranked of the terrorists, with a pathetic life bar, fights unarmed, and goes down in less than ten hits, in a game where your character dishes out a dozen hits with ease.
