** ''The Legend of Zelda [[TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina Of Time]]'' has the Composer Brothers, which are strange Poe-like enemies that only appear if you open their graves in Kakariko Graveyard. It's entirely optional, and are one of very few enemies to speak with you after being defeated. (However, they have some minor plot significance.)

** From the Forest Temple in ''TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'' comes medium-sized skulltulla spider that dangles over one bridge in one room. Kill it, and it's gone forever.

*** The Giant Bee in Woodfall Temple of the same game, and the Bad Bats ([[UndergroundMonkey outdoor version of Keeses]]) in the tree on the southern road.

* In ''{{FEAR}}'', the Replica Assassins are only seen in the level "Watchers", and one other level much later in the game.

* ''ResidentEvilCodeVeronica'' has the [[DemonicSpiders poison moths]] in [[ThatOneLevel that one corridor]], which you unfortunately have to traverse multiple times. When you revisit the area as Chris, they're gone, replaced by zombies. Earlier, in the passage to the seaplane port, there's a group of zombies that inexplicably have GlowingEyesOfDoom.

*** In every level of ''HaloReach'', there is a hidden gold Spec-Ops Elite Ranger who will randomly appear out of nowhere in certain areas if you're fast enough in playing the level. This elite, nicknamed "Bob", gives you a load of points when killed (to add to your credits if scoring is turned on), but if you don't kill him fast enough he will disappear just as quickly. He also only appears on Heroic and Legendary difficulties.

* In DragonquestVIII the "Dark Warrior" (or something like that) is supposed to be one in the Dark Citadel, but then you'll find many of them in the BonusDungeon.

** Also, the [[ChestMonster evil treasure chests]] that eat Wario only appear three times in the level Boogie Mansion, are blasted open to get treasure, and don't respawn.

** The Dandaria (sp?) and Etecoons can be saved at the end of the game by entering a side room and shooting the wall. No reason [[VideogameCaringPotential other than to help those who helped you]]. They actually appear again in ''MetroidFusion''.

* ''{{Halo}} 2'' had the "Honor Guard Councillor", which was actually a glitched Gold Elite. This is the only Gold fought on difficulties lower than Legendary.

*** The Parabeetles are only found in one level of World 5. It seems they were planned to be in more levels, according to the screenshot of a DummiedOut level on the box. There's also a DummiedOut green version in the ROM.

*** The Anubis enemy is only seen in one or two rooms of the Child Link half of the Spirit Temple. And the Tailpasaran is only found in one corridor of Jabu Jabu's Belly.

*** The Giant Bee in Woodfall Temple of the same game.

* ''[[{{Pikmin}} Pikmin 2]]'' has a single Toady Bloyster in the Perplexing Pool that holds a treasure. It's the only one you fight in the main game. You fight it's bigger boss relative more times than this creature.
** There are also [[http://pikmin.wikia.com/wiki/Secret_Wistful_Wild_bugs orange bugs]] that appear every 30 day in Wistful Wild starting with Day 31.

** ''{{Super Mario Bros 3}}'' has a lot of these enemies, including the Spiny Cheep-Cheep and the ''fire-breathing'' [[strike: Munchies]] Nippers (both found in World 7).

*** The Angry Sun in an unnumbered stage of World 2 and stage 2 in World 8.

** Purple versions of the enemy Koin show up in one of the levels in the last world, attempting to push you off ledges with their trash-can lid shields.

** The Torpedo Teds of the Soda Lake level, anyone? They appeared in bunches, but thankfully, just in that one level. It's a hidden level too (which leads to Star Road), so it's likely the first time you'll see them is in the ending roll call.

* FinalFantasyVIII has enemies called Slappers, monsters in hockey gear that only appear on the hockey court in Galbadia Garden.
