Everything Trying to Kill You: Difference between revisions

* Similar to those two examples above, Hell House from ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]''. It's a small house... that sprouts a head, arms and legs and tries to crush Cloud and co. Oh, and it fires out [[Nuke'Em|nukes]] as an attack.

* So many [[RPG|RPGs]] employ the use of deadly walls as bosses that they may deserve their own subtrope. These come in the "passive" variety, which will stay put as they try to kill you (''[[Final Fantasy VII]]''), and the "aggressive" variety, [[Advancing Wall of Doom|that advance either on a timer or over a set number of turns and crush the party]] for an instant game over (''Secret of Mana'') or an instant kill (''[[Final Fantasy IV]]''). Or the kind that advances to crush you on a timer AND attacking regularly (''[[Final Fantasy XII]]'').

** ''[[Super Mario RPG]]'' has a wedding cake as a ''boss'' at one point. You fight the chefs that made the cake and they flee when the cake comes to life. The cake's signature attack is Standstorm, which attacks the whole party and causes Fear, cutting your defense in half. The hard part was you can't kill it traditionally at first. You have to "blow" out the candles by attacking and it relights one candle when its turn comes up. Only after you get rid of the top layers that you can attack the bottom layer normally and when you do beat it, Booster comes in [[Just Eat Him|and swallows the cake whole.]] [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment|Mario and his crew then just move on as if nothing happened...]]

* In ''[[Mass Effect]]'', the krogan homeworld Tuchanka ''IS'' this trope incarnate. The main reason the krogan were so dangerous was that anything the universe could throw at them paled in comparison to what was waiting to kill them in their sock drawer every morning. The Codex notes with a bit of amusement that it took the invention of gunpowder to make the krogan marginally more dangerous than the surrounding species thus making death by gunshot ''slightly'' more common than being eaten by wild animal.
