* ''[[Diablo]] II'' is the quintessential example of this trope. If the game did not pre-date [[TV Tropes]] by several years, one could be tempted to believe its programmers used the article as a checklist for creating annoying enemies. To make the game more difficult, nearly every method of unfair fighting is used, including sudden charges forward, death explosions, attacks from off-screen, and worst of all, hitting the player with lightning every time the player hits a certain foe.
** The infamous "Scarab Demon" [[Palette Swap|enemy type]], which shoots lightning in all directions every time you hit them. Also known as "[[Cluster F
** A note on MSLE: MSLE increases the number of sparks generated on every hit, but also causes those sparks to ''home in on you.'' A standard LE boss can easily be cheesed by standing about half a unit away in any of the four cardinal directions (Directly east/west or north/south) and whacking away at it in melee. With an MSLE mob that just ain't gonna happen. Zap.
*** Thankfully, MSLE bosses have been fixed as of 1.10. They still emit lightning and still use multiples of their normal projectiles, but the two enchantments no longer work together.
