** In the death knight's questline to obtain the Deathlord's Vilebrood Vanquisher mount, you're sent to assault the Ruby Sanctum for a tome that will reveal the location of a long-dead red dragon. The current Lich King tells you that you can either kill only as many red dragons as you need to or you can [[KillEmAll kill every last one]], potentially expediting the red dragonflight's eventual extinction.

* In ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarOnline'', Rappies occasionally show up and generally pester you, but put up little resistance before whatever attack you throw their way knocks them sunny-side-down. They're playing dead, but when they get back up, they'll run away for a bit before disappearing; hit them during this time for an extra drop. In subsequent games, Rappies become no more threatening and instead exist as loot bundles before getting away; in ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarOnline2NewGenesis'', they don't even fight back, and every time an event rolls around, one of the weekly quests is "Defeat 5 [Theme] Rappies". And then [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FFIpIdRXsAIAWOF?format=jpg&name=large tweets like these]] give you the idea they're doing this to the poor yellow birds on purpose...

** This could be a case of VideoGameCaringPotential as many of these mobs are menacing civilians in some form.

The runes come from getting items which enhance stats, and smashing them to extract the magic runes. Through a variety of ways, one can come into possession of "Bow Meows," which are cute and cuddly little kitties which follow you around.

Lycopodiums are a non-aggressive variant of the Mandragora (which is about the size and stature of a toddler) that follow players around and dance, providing the player with Regen if s/he has completed a quest. Pixies will heal and resurrect dead players whenever in range. In spite of this, players are not above carting groups of innocent, dancing Lycopodiums to their doom or killing pixies on sight.

** If you actually think about it, the extremely popular Deadmines dungeon is very cruel. These poor guys just want to get paid for rebuilding your sweet capital city. And if you're that rogue who pickpockets them but leaves them alive (you know who you are) then you are really quite a scumbag. Seriously, those people have families! The Cataclysm version lampshades it by having the daughter of the original final boss return (so not only were you a douche, but you weren't that smart about it: Nice job breaking it hero!)
** The entire Death Knight starter area plays with this trope. It is played straight at first when you mark targets to be taken down by poison arrows. The game also lets you murder the workers to your heart's content. You are supposed to be in the Scourge after all. It is subverted later in that, according to their dialog, what you're doing to the Scarlet Crusaders is not as bad as what their superiors do to them. Given that you are at one point sticking them with a magical brand until they faint, this is perhaps the most disturbing part of this whole extremely disturbing area. Given the looks of the place that you rescue Koltira Deathweaver from later, this claim is believable. But the trope is then played straight later on when you mercilessly mow down an entire army of Crusaders with their own cannon. Even later, the questline has you demonstrate your loyalty by killing an Argent Dawn NPC who is set up as your best friend.

* In Rogalia, great survival/sandbox MMORPG available on Steam, you can do it to other players. While you can't kill people that are on your claim or someone's else (or attack any mobs, friendly or other) and killing them would earn you a Player Killer status anyway, what you can do is to trap bunch of dangerous mobs on your claim (a couple of wolfs or hungry wolfs would do just fine), invite another player over and lock him in the room with these mobs. He may survive if he has weapons on him, but many players, especially new ones do not. They can teleport away to their home claim (if they have one) or to the town, but the teleportation is stopped if player gets attacked. They can't run away either as only claim owner or people allowed by him are capable of opening doors on a claim and they can't destroy things on someone else's claim. The only way for player to get out of there is to kill the wolfs (at which point he'll be so damaged that you can finish him off and take all his stuff), commit in-game suicide (you have to deal with the wolfs but you can take his stuff) or be killed by wolfs (probably not without a fight so it will be easier for you to defeat them). Bonus, if they get killed by the dangerous mobs, Player Killer status won't be applied to you and you still can take their stuff. Have fun.

* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'' has The Lomisan Way quest where you and an NPC have to destroy boulders to determine who is telling the truth about who had slayed a Gobbue. The NPC in question is coded as an enemy (though he won't attack you), thus you can attack him. Attacking him won't slow his progress down and killing him outright ends the quest in failure, but for some players who are either sick of his lies or know who he really is ahead of time, it can be quite cathartic to kill him over and over.

** This could be a case of VideoGameCaringPotential as many of these mobs are menacing civilians in some form. Most low level zone mobs spawn with a large mob trying to steal a purse from a woman or a cabal of evil wizards trying to steal a citizen's soul. Taking out the street level thugs for little more than a thank-you from the rescued citizen is definitely not this trope. Of course, in City of Villains, this is certainly in full effect.
