* The [[SCP Foundation]] uses this quite a lot. For example: [http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-145 SCP-145].
** [http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-231 SCP-231-7] is ''legendary'' for its use of this trope, not only for the victim herself but for those ''forced to keep her alive'', as allowing her to die would probably lead to [[The End of the World as We Know It]].
** The unfortunate researchers, staff, and other SCPs who fell into the clutches of [https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-1765 SCP-1765], "the Sisters". The Foundation was unable to properly contain this powerful trio of witches (for lack of a better term) and they proceeded to take over the facility; [[Faux Affably Evil|feigning gratitude and admiration for the Foundation]], they decided to continue the "research", using the inhabitants as subjects. Meaning they've been brutally and endlessly torturing them ever since using their potent [[Reality Warping]] powers. (Well, maybe not ''endlessly''; [[Cruel Mercy|each "experiment" includes a "control group"]], and whoever is put there is safe until the current "experiment" is concluded.) The Foundation has made no attempt at rescue, seeing as this activity keeps SCP-1765 occupied and prevents them from harming civilians; in effect, they have "contained" themselves. (Far from the only morally questionable decision they have made.) At very least, the victims might take some consolation in the fact that they are regarded as heroes by the rest of the Foundation for this unintentional sacrifice on their part.
* ''[[Suburban Knights]]'' [[Big Bad]] Malachite. The end looked like he was destroyed by Ma-Ti, but an additional video revealed a worst fate... working in a Wisconsin coffee shop. Any attempts at villainy are met with a [[Dope Slap]] from his boss and escape is impossible.
* The transformation into {{spoiler|Salem's Hound}} suffered by an unidentified silver-eyed man in ''[[RWBY]]''. {{spoiler|Yang and Ruby speculate that Salem turned their [[Missing Mom]] Summer Rose into such a creature -- and that it's why she wants Ruby captured alive.}}
