The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at the Trope Launch Pad.

Should fall under HP to 1, I think.
"A lesser form of this trope is normal-damage attacks that specifically leave the target at one Hit Point when the attack would be fatal."

What's the trope for when some dangerous thing in a video game hurts you, but once you have only one hit point left it just stops, and it can't actually kill you? Example: in Star Fox 64 on Solar the ambient heat damages you constantly, but it cant outright kill you, although you're obviously a sitting duck once you're at 1 hp, and actually touching the lava can kill you.
