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.

Well, it's related to Time-Delayed Death and the Doom Standard Status Effect. I'm not finding a specific Video Game Characters or Boss Battle trope, though.

We do have Time-Limit Boss, but that only appears to apply to bosses. Nothing about mooks who need to be defeated quickly.

Hm. I'd be inclined to say that something like the Tonberry would be a Downplayed variant of that, and in fact he's already on that page's example list. But I could also see an argument for that being shoehorned and missing a Mook-level Sister Trope to Time-Limit Boss.

The main distinction being that when a Tonberry's time limit runs out, he starts beating the hell out of you. When a Time-Limit Boss's time limit runs out, it's over, full stop.

Hmm, I'll have to see about starting a YKTTW for it, if there isn't already an old one to dig up.

Also related to Metal Slime, where the thing gets away (or does something else to take away a bonus for beating) it if you aren't fast.
