** The [[Silicon-Based Life|Master Stone]] switches elements ''every turn'', in addition to its normal attacks. The best way to deal with the Stone is to [[Anti-Magic|curse]] it, which not only locks it in its current form but also limits it to a relatively weak physical attack.

* The Barroth of ''[[Monster Hunter]] Tri'' is weak against water while covered in mud, and weak against fire when not. He flings his mud off by shaking in one of his attacks, and sometimes rolls in mud to cover himself back up. You generally just have to pick either a fire or a water element weapon and try to attack just parts that are covered/uncovered, but Bowgunners can bring both Water and Fire shots.

* The [[Final Boss]] of the first ''[[Overlord]]'' game does this every so often. The color of his shield matches that of the Minion type needed to break through it.

* He doesn't care about ''elements'' per say, but Emperor Sun Hai of ''[[Jade Empire]]'' does switch between his Support, Magic, Unarmed, and Weapon Styles. Unlike most of the examples on this list, he's immune to the one he's using, not the ones he isn't, but he is very reliable about switching to whatever you just hit him with, then hitting you while you're busy changing to match.

* The [[Final Boss]] of ''[[Epic Battle Fantasy]] 3'' does this. It takes him a ''long'' time to change, though, and once he's been scanned once you don't need to scan him again.
