* ''[[Dragon (magazine)|Dragon Magazine Annual #1]]'' detailed the potent Sul Armor, a suit of armor that is made of still-living scarab-like insects. This armor is lighter than Leather Armor, but as strong as Chain Mail, can be put on or taken off in less than a minute, and very rarely, gives the owner powers of Regeneration, which the armor itself has. A Thief who isn’t afraid of bugs would pay any price for a Sul swarm, but the catch is, [[Power At A Price| you ''should'' be afraid of this sort of thing]]. The scarabs might turn on the wearer and devour him, which they might do if the wearer takes 10 or more points of damage in a single hit (5% cumulative chance per hit) and the user also has to feed it daily (simply grain and water) and should he forget to do so, the chance increases by a cumulative 8% each time.
* In the ''[[Planescape]]'' Splat book ''Hellbound: The Blood War'', it states this is a common strategy for fiends in the Blood War. Both sides of the conflict have grunts that can regenerate [[From a Single Cell]] (lemures and nupperibo on the devils' side, manes on the demons') and because fiends cannot easily use holy weapons (which prevent this regeneration) they often do so by devouring the enemy grunts. The "official" theory is that if fiend's phsyicalphysical body is consumed by another being, its essence is destroyed and it is forever slain. Whether this works on higher-ranking fiends, possibly as a way to keep them from being reborn if their material form is destroyed, is not known. Very few mortal beings are willing to try it.
