Line 32:
** ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess]]'': Toward the end of the game, Link must wear down his heavily armored foes called Darknuts, by removing their armor piece by piece. Once it's removed, they toss their massive weapon and draw a longsword, and become capable of doing combos.
** Koloktos in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword]]'' will lose its arms every time you pull them away with your whip.
* ''[[Star Fox (series)|Star
* ''[[World of Warcraft]]'': Many of the Earth Elemental enemies will begin to lose actual body mass as you damage them. Often it does weaken them, though sometimes it simply leads to smaller copies of the elemental attacking you as well.
** The final boss of the Tournament of Champions five man dungeon, the Black Knight, goes through three incarnations as you battle him. First he is an armored Death Knight, then after you beat him down, he comes back as a skeleton. Finally he's a malevolent ghost. "My rotting flesh was just getting in the way."
Line 42:
* The DS remake of [[Final Fantasy IV]] has the Octomammoth treat its first six tentacles this way.
* [[Final Fantasy VII]] has Mighty Guards in the Shinra HQ. Mooks met early in the game, these are highly armoured and red. Once you beat them enough, the armour falls off, revealing a slender, greyish, and faster, but weaker, mook.
* ''[[
** ''[[Castlevania Bloodlines]]'' has the Golem as the boss of Stage 2. You have to whip away at his segments, then whip his head which proceeds to blow up, revealing his core.
* N.Gin in ''[[Crash Bandicoot|Crash 2]]'' is a good example. He starts with two lasers in his mech's arms. You destroy those, and he reveals that his shoulders contain rockets. Destroying those make him use a cannon he had built into the mech's chest. Destroying that then blows his device up.
* Several ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]]'' bosses qualify for this:
** Destroying all seven of the miniature Robotnik Balloons in the [[Sonic the Hedgehog 2|Metropolis Zone]] leaves Robotnik to reveal his craft also has a laser to attack you with.
** Every hit to the final boss of ''[[Sonic CD]]'' will cause him to lose one of his four spinning arms, also changing his attack pattern entirely.
** The main boss of the [[Sonic 3 and Knuckles|Ice Cap Zone]], starts with a platform that he raises up to goad you into attacking while he tries to freeze you. It gets broken off after six hits, leaving him to just float around spewing the freezing gas.
Line 72:
* The final boss of ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'' loses parts of his armor to each of Ezio's [[Quick Time Event]] hidden blade attacks.
* ''[[Ace Combat Joint Assault]]'' has {{spoiler|Sulejmani's Varcolac}}. At first, it has a rear-facing point defence machine gun that destroys any missiles coming from the six. If you manage to damage it enough, though, it loses the PD gun and gains the ability to do ridiculous missile-dodging manoeuvres [[The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard|you could never replicate.]]
* The first boss of ''[[
* Quadraxis from ''[[Metroid Prime]] 2''. This is the reason why it's a [[Marathon Boss]], as dismembering it part-by-part takes a very long time. It's only truly defeated when its head module is completely destroyed.
* Lar, the final boss of ''Chariot - Adventure through the sky'' (a [[Shoot'Em Up]] included in [[Capcom]]'s arcade collection ''[[Three Wonders]]'') loses its entire body when you hit him enough, leaving only his floating head/mask.
* Happens with most bosses of certain shoot'em ups, for example ''[[Aero Fighters]]'', ''[[Blazing Star]]'', and ''Strikers 1945''. When receiving damage, they'll start to lose parts and/or (mostly ''and'') change in another form almost always nastier -in the case of the latter [[Transforming Mecha
* Halfway through the fight with Mendez in ''[[Resident Evil 4]]'', he ditches his human legs and swings around the shack monkey-style.
