Line 10:
Keep in mind that, as this trope is [[Anvil On Head|particularly common in cartoons]], where characters are almost impervious to permanent damage, this trope does not always actually result in death.

'''As a [[Death Trope]], all Spoilers will be unmarked ahead. Beware.'''
Line 72:
* ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Franchise)|The Legend of Zelda]]''
** In the series, there was a returning enemy called a <s>stairmaster</s> wallmaster, which would appear [[Wall Master|suddenly]] in dungeons, scare the crap outta you, grab onto your face, and pull you into oblivion. In most games this would incur some damage, and if you were on the brink of doom, you would crumple to the ground as soon as you reappeared at the beginning of the dungeon.
** In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time]]'' and its semi-sequel, ''[[The Legend of Zelda Majoras Mask (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Majoras Mask]]'', a wallmaster attack was foreshadowed by a [[Nightmare Fuel]]-inducing whooshing noise and a growing shadow under you that followed you around. But whether it be by glitch or purposeful subversion, the best way to instantly avoid this creature was, ironically, by looking up.
** ''[[The Legend of Zelda the Wind Waker (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda the Wind Waker]]'': Ganon getting the Master Sword right through his forehead.
* This has a very low chance of happening in ''[[The Sims 2]]'' when sky- or star-gazing: they look up shortly before dying from falling satellite. On the plus side, you can sell the satellite in question for fun and profit afterward. No, really.
