A character is hard to kill, not because he doesn't get hurt, but because he has the ability to rapidly recover from serious damage. While it depends on how fast he can heal and how much of a [[Chunky Salsa Rule|beating]] his body can take, a character with healing factor will bounce back from severe injuries that other beings can't, often with no scars or medical treatment.

{{examples}}
== Anime
* Loosely implied to be a [[Our Vampires Are Different|vampire's]] source of immortality in ''[[Rosario + Vampire]]''. Their blood has a powerful regenerative effect on anyone, which Tsukune is quick to demonstrate once this is introduced. {{spoiler|To date, a quick infusion of vampire blood or the activation of the blood already present inside of him has saved him from being burned alive, slashed through the ''heart'', having his neck snapped ''twice'', taking two fatal slashes to the torso, having the entire left side of his body crushed, taking an absurdly long beating and a giant scythe-like appendage to the chest immediately after, and that's all in the first season}}. Another vampire, {{spoiler|Akasha Bloodriver}}, can regenerate from being cut in half.
* In ''[[Ichiban Ushiro no Dai Maou]]'', Sai gets an arm chopped off. The stump sprouts a new one, out of blood, which regenerates back to a regular arm in seconds.
* The eponymous warriors of ''[[Claymore]]'' are classified as Offensive or Defensive types based on their youki. Generally speaking, Offensive types can reattach recently severed limbs while Defensive types can grow new ones. As Awakend Ones become more common, this often results in Defensive types aiding the Offensives in [[Pulling Themselves Together]] mid-battle.
* Most of the major characters of ''[[Hellsing]]'', and the Nazi vampire [[Mooks]] that show up later in the manga, have impressive regeneration abilities; Alexander Anderson, for example, can take several headshots in rapid succession and keep fighting. Every single one of them is put to shame by Alucard, though, who ''allows'' himself to be near-liquified at the beginning of several fights just to completely demoralize his opponents before brutally killing them.
** Schrodinger probably takes the cake; it's implied that his ill-defined ability to be everywhere and nowhere lets him ignore any injury, and he shrugs off having his head splattered by an extra-large anti-vampire bullet.▼
▲Schrodinger probably takes the cake; it's implied that his ill-defined ability to be everywhere and nowhere lets him ignore any injury, and he shrugs off having his head splattered by an extra-large anti-vampire bullet.
** Schrodinger's case is more a ''rejection of state'' than actual healing, of the '[[Retcon|he was never there in the first place]]' variety.
* Deoxys in the seventh ''[[Pokémon]]'' movie is depicted regenerating a vaporized limb. In fact it can [[From a Single Cell|regenerate its entire body as long its crystal core is intact]].
* The Wu from the manga and anime ''[[
** It's not sure if they're actually unable to re-grow them, it might be a bit more complicated. The one time where an Wu was dismembered without re-attaching it instantly after the fight, the arm was kept in an sealed container. However, that might have been just to keep the arm from moving, after all, Wus can still move their body parts even if they're cut off.
*** When the container shattered and (more important) the seal on it, Yakumos arm instantly started to grow back, informing him something was going wrong. And in the mange, he almost regularly loses his limbs and regows them (often resulting in him losing his combat gloves).
* Abel from ''[[Trinity Blood]]'' has been shown regenerating a lost arm (from the leftover pool of blood) after it was blown off.
* In the third episode of ''[[
{{quote|'''Guu:''' Three-second rule.}}
* C.C. from ''[[Code Geass]]'', who can recover from fatal injuries (such as a bullet to the brain or heart) in a matter of minutes. A few episodes imply that she might be near Wolverine in terms of regeneration: {{spoiler|Her former partner Mao intended to cut her into pieces so he could ship her to Australia in luggage, and fully expected her to survive. In the season finale, her current partner Lelouch witnesses her tormented memories, including being burned at the stake, the Iron Maiden, and apparently being guillotined. The first season also ends with her trapped at the bottom of the ocean in a [[Humongous Mecha]], meaning she had to purge the cockpit and die at least twice due to pressure and drowning before she floated to the surface; [[Word of God]] confirmed this because there was no way they would get away with showing anything that gruesome on television.}} And for all this, the only mark she bears is a very deliberate-looking scar under her left breast.
** In the [[Audio Commentary]], when the staff and cast discuss C.C.'s powers, voice actress [[Yukana]] jokingly suggests probably the cutest version of a Healing Factor ever: that when C.C. is killed, her body breaks apart into several miniature C.C.s that run together to re-form her original body
Line 55 ⟶ 56:
** Two seasons later, and we're introduced to the Huckubein, who can regenerate even better than the Wolkenritter. [[Dual-Wielding|Cypha]] proves this by [[Just a Flesh Wound|regrowing an arm]] that Signum cut off. Oh, and they're also [[Made of Iron|pretty darn tough too.]]
** Also there's the fact that after said two seasons the Wolkenritter's Healing Factor has finally faded away.
*
* In ''[[Dragon Ball]]'', Nameks like Piccolo regenerate as long as their vital organs are intact. Most later villains had this ability, but most have it in even greater strengths, including Cell, Buu, and Meta-Cooler (who can revive from a single piece of themselves), in addition to some of the evil dragons.
** Majin Buu is the living embodiment of this. No matter how badly he is destroyed he can always regenerate as long as any part of him still exists.
Line 110 ⟶ 111:
* Both Yukiko and Liselotte Werckmeister from ''11eyes'' share the same immortality with rapid healing factor and undying. It is revealed that the Voidstone is the source of the immortality and separating it from the host will disable that immortality.
* Quon of ''[[Towa no Quon]]'' has this as one of his abilities.
== Comic Books ==
* [[Wolverine]] of the ''[[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]]'' is the iconic [[Superhero]] example. This has been subject to extreme [[Power Creep, Power Seep]]; he went from "very tough, but can be killed by a single lucky shot from a [[Humongous Mecha]]" to "survive being at ground zero of a nuke". (He was also once regrown from a single droplet of blood that fell on a powerful [[MacGuffin|Ancient Artifact]] once, but that was more a demonstration of the artifact's power than his own, and [[Or Was It a Dream?|may have been hallucinatory]] anyway).
:An arc in his main book was written to tone this down—by the same writer who had written one of the more ridiculous examples, ironically enough.It exemplifies [[Voodoo Shark]] - he could ''battle the Angel of Death'' if ever he dies in order to return to life, having beaten him before, but apparently can no longer do this.▼
:There's also Wolverine's [[Opposite Gender Clone]] X-23, who has all of Wolverine's powers. Though the exact nature of her healing factor outside of Limbo has yet to be determined. It apparently has [http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/677992.html some limit]. Wolverine's son Daken also inherited his fathers healing factor.▼

:Finally, Wolverine's arch-enemy Sabretooth had virtually the same power-set, including the healing factor. But all that was cut to an abrupt end. Literally, thanks to Wolvie's anti-healing [[Infinity+1 Sword|katana]] forged from the [[The Dark Side|dark area]] of his soul.▼

** Due to the nature of most children's shows, this can't be shown that effectively. The 90's X-Men animated show tries to, but it's best shown on TV in ''[[X-Men: Evolution]]'' when Wolverine is shown to have broken his legs from a helicopter jump, and later on in Season 4 when he falls out a plane.
* [[Lobo]] from [[DC Comics]] has an absurdly over-the-top Healing Factor, as he is partly a Wolverine parody. Plus, neither afterlife wants him.
Line 145 ⟶ 141:
** Venom and Carnage are also close to immortal, where they can heal from anything but continual and ongoing exposure to high-pitched sounds. Or the Sentry.
* [[The Savage Dragon]] can regrow lost limbs, albeit slowly. One villain actually used this against Dragon by breaking every bone in his body, then stuffing him down a smokestack so he healed all wrong. To fix him, another hero had to break his bones ''again'' to let him heal correctly.
* 90s hero ''Xombi'' has a [[
* [[Green Arrow]] II, Connor Hawke, has recently been [[Badass Abnormal|granted]] healing powers by the machinations of [[Mad Scientist|Dr Sivana]] in an issue of ''Green Arrow and Black Canary''.
** Sivana gave him that healing factor using bits of Plastic Man, a character that has survived being turned to stone, shattered, and having the pieces scattered around the ocean floor for over 1,000 years. Yeah, Plastic Man takes this trope to the extreme.
Line 163 ⟶ 159:
* [[Vandal Savage]] is another DCU example; he got his immortality from a meteor back during the Cro-Magnon era. He possesses a Healing Factor (as well as other powers) that considerably slow his aging process to the point of it being almost nonexistent.
* The Five Archons in ''[[The Secret History (comics)|The Secret History]].'' They can be killed, probably, but they're certainly not easy to kill.
== Fan Works ==
* Vampires in ''[[Luminosity]]'' have this. Even if someone tears them apart, unless the flesh is actually kept separate, they will regroup and regenerate. There's only one [[Stealth Pun|surefire]] way to kill one. {{spoiler|And Bella found a way around ''that''.}}
* In ''[[Fallout Equestria:
* {{spoiler|Dread Raven}} combines this with [[The Undead]] to achieve [[Immortality]] in ''[[The Tainted Grimoire]]''.
* Jaune Arc in ''[[The Games We Play (RWBY fanfic)|The Games We Play]]'' possesses a power called The Gamer's Body, which turns all the damage he takes into the loss of [[Hit Points]], leaving him visually unwounded by anything he suffers; he also has an ability to refill his [[Life Meter]] at an outrageous pace simply by resting or meditating, and later gains [[Regeneration]] at a rate that would boggle Wolverine. On top of that, he can eat [[Mana|Dust crystals]] and restore his hit points that way. And anything that transforms, mutates or otherwise inimically changes his body without actually killing him (like, say, Petrification), he can completely shake off simply by sleeping for six hours.
== Film ==
Line 185 ⟶ 180:
** The [[Steampunk|Clock Punk]] robots of ''Hellboy II: The Golden Army'' can repair themselves after being ripped to pieces.
* When ''[[The Iron Giant]]'' gets his arms knocked off by a train, the parts return to him and reattach themselves.
* The title character of the ''Tomie'' series of J-horror films has this ability to the extent that [[
* Brandon Lee's character in ''[[The Crow]]'' seemed to possess this ability. Right to the point of making a very bad religious joke in between successive on-target shotgun blasts. [[Author Existence Failure|Too bad the actor wasn't so endowed.]]
** Dude, too soon.
* The Neo-Vipers from ''
* In ''[[The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen]]'', Mina and Dorian actually wonder if they can be killed. They both heal from their wounds in seconds during their fight, prompting Dorian to note, "We'll be at this all day."
== Literature ==
Line 237 ⟶ 231:
** If Touma's right hand or arm is severed, it will completely regenerate {{spoiler|in order to prevent [[Sealed Inside a Person-Shaped Can|the entity within from escaping]]}}. This happens even if the severed limb is completely destroyed. However, [[Early Installment Weirdness|this worked differently the first time the arm was severed]]. The arm didn't regenerate on its own, but when reattached by doctors, it healed with unusual speed. Interestingly, neither of the other two characters with a special right hand has this power.
** Magic Gods have an extremely powerful healing factor. They can recover from a broken neck or an impaled chest instantly.
* The "Undying" of the ''Horseclans'' series are of this type (''not'', as one might think, type 2). They're vulnerable to suffocation and subject to the [[Immortal Procreation Clause]].
* Tess from ''[[The Black Saint]]'' was born with this gift. Can be used as [[Healing Hands]] once they realise drinking someone's blood functions as [[Power Copying]].
== Live-Action TV ==
Line 255 ⟶ 250:
** In the 2005 episode "The Christmas Invasion", the Doctor is shown to be able to quickly regrow severed limbs for up to 24 hours after regenerating, using leftover regeneration energy.
* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' - Buffy has a lesser healing factor as part of her Slayer powers. She can't regenerate injuries in front of our eyes, but she does recover from serious injury much faster than a normal human (at least if she also gets medical assistance).
** Vampires also have this healing factor, though it may not be as strong as Buffy's. Spike was stuck in a wheelchair for several episodes, and Drusilla was heavily weakened by an attack which required a ritual to heal. In some ways it can be stronger than Buffy's, as vampires are clinically dead, they don't have to worry about things like blood loss.▼
** Spike recovered at some point before he actually got out of the wheelchair; in one scene he reveals he'd been faking it for an unspecified amount of time. Angel has been gutted and run through an unspecified number of times, particularly in his spinoff show. Illyria also threw him through two windows several stories off the ground.▼

* In ''[[The Sarah Connor Chronicles]]'', [[Robot Girl]] Cameron's epidermal layer heals unusually quickly, to the point that a gaping, deep wound that [[Feel No Pain|had to be stapled closed]] healed to the point that is just looks like a recently patched-up cut the next day.
* ''[[The Collector (TV series)|The Collector]]'': Collectors quickly recover from any wound, with Hellfire spewing out of it in the process. A [[Deal with the Devil|client]] also exhibited it(minus the flames) with fatal wounds; Because of the Devil's obligation to clients, they are protected from death for the duration of their deal, one way or another.
Line 265 ⟶ 258:
* While The Flash has long had some degree of faster than normal healing (See above in comic books), the 2014 incarnation of ''[[The Flash (TV 2014)|The Flash]]'' gives the character a much stronger one, able to heal a broken back in a week.
== [[Oral Tradition|Oral Tradition, Folklore, Myth and Legend]] ==
* The Lernaean Hydra, of Heracles/Hercules fame, was so difficult to kill because for each head the hero would cut off, two would grow in its place. The fact that its blood was also a [[Bloody Murder|deadly poison]] didn't help either. Only when his nephew Iolaos started to cauterize the stumps with his torch could Heracles finally kill the monster; this may be the (or at least one) source for the idea that fire is bad for regenerators.
* Prometheus had his liver torn out every day, and grown back by the next. Over and over again, [[And I Must Scream|for centuries]].
* The Greek gods have this kind of immortality, which includes not aging. According to most writers, they can't die from anything. To add to this, the myths say that Chronos is still alive despite being cut up into tiny pieces and scattered across Eternity. Further, Chronos did the same to HIS father who is also still alive despite that. In fact, Chiron, one of the few GOOD centaurs, ends up needing to have is immortality taken from him somehow since the hydra venom in his body couldn't kill him and just continued giving him horrible, mind-searing pain.
▲== Tabletop RPG ==
* In ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'', the Regeneration ability changes normal damage into subdual damage and the ability to recover so many [[Hit Points]]' worth of subdual damage per round. Thus, if you don't use the attack form that ''does'' cause normal damage to the foe, they cannot be killed, merely knocked out for a while. There is also Fast Healing, which merely causes the character to heal a certain amount of normal damage per round and thus allows real death to occur much more easily, shutting off the power just as normal healing would be.
** The ultimate example of this ability is the Tarrasque. Its
** In previous editions, there were particular forms of regeneration that varied from monster to monster. The D&D troll, arguably the most famous example, can quickly regenerate wounds from swords and axes, and by themselves these weapons can't kill them, although they can knock them out temporarily by reducing their hit points to zero. The only thing that ''can'' kill them are fire and acid, which also cause damage that can't be regenerated. Whether you blow them up with a fireball, or knock them out with a weapon and then set them on fire or douse them with acid, you need to burn trolls to kill them if you're using standard tactics. If beat into helplessness, they can then be drowned also if there is water nearby (as there often is as they often inhabit swamps). Trolls being vulnerable to fire is likely originally taken from the novel [[Three Hearts and Three Lions]].
** 4e Lycanthropes (were-creatures) have regeneration instead of damage reduction, it is suppressed by, you guessed it, silver.
Line 293 ⟶ 285:
* Lunar Exalts in ''[[Exalted]]'' are stated as being able to recover from terrible injuries at an astounding rate whilst in their warform, if not in battle (they must use separate healing powers for that purpose. They can regenerate lost limbs and internal organs (assuming they aren't dead) at a rate of one such organ or limb ''per hour'', good as new and fully functional.
* Regeneration in ''[[GURPS]]'' ranges from slow enough that people would have to hang out with you for a while to notice it all the way to so fast that you heal your total HP every second.
* Regeneration is a game effect in ''[[Warhammer
* ''[[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]]'' featured a hero called Valtan as part of their Storm of Chaos event who, by reason of being probably the avatar of a god, had a healing factor good enough that there was a 5 in 6 chance of him surviving any attack that took his last wound with no ill-effects, hopping back to his feet to fight again. In certain corners he became known as yo-yo Valtan.

{{quote|'''Joe:''' He's a doctor, deals a lot with people in our line of work. You shouldn't need to see him though, Vito, you always [[Lampshade Hanging|seem to heal quick enough]]. [[Hand Wave|Must be your diet]].}}
* In ''[[City of Heroes]]'', the "Regeneration" powerset emulates this.
** With a bit of creative tinkering, it was possible to create a Regen Scrapper that was essentially [[Nigh Invulnerable]] to attack from enemies ten levels higher and more... in a game where a four level gap was considered impossible for anything less than a full team. Suffice to say, the developers nerfed this ability no less than four times in a row.
** This is also why, in a game where numerous characters are disproportionately powerful in battles of attrition, and hit-run-and-repeat tactics are intentionally left viable, there are still things which take a group to bring down - their intrinsic combat regeneration is just too strong to overcome by anybody who can indefinitely survive their assault.▼

* The Wood Golems in the ''[[Disgaea]]'' series have this as their passive ability, which regenerates 20% of their HP each turn. They can also pass this onto another unit by becoming a Magichange weapon for them.
* White Mages in ''[[Final Fantasy XI]]'' have a version of this, when at level 25, they get Auto-Regen, which constantly restores 1 HP every 3 seconds. If they don't get hit after getting hurt and stand still for(At most) an hour, they can go from near-dead to full HP, so this trope does count.
** Most of the ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' games have a similar Regen spell, most of which restore a set percentage of HP each turn, while the one in ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'' restored HP constantly. If combined with a Haste effect, attacks that hit for less than 500 or so HP wouldn't even register on the status bar.▼

* Kyouya from ''[[Diabolo]]'', despite his terminal illness, claims to heal in his sleep (and considering after a night's rest some scratches on his face disappeared, this may not have been a bluff).
Line 368 ⟶ 357:
* The ''[[Lost Odyssey]]'' characters have something more like this kind of immortality in actual gameplay; they can be injured and knocked out in battle, but automatically revive after a couple of turns.
* In ''[[Chaos Rings (video game)|Chaos Rings]]'' and ''[[Chaos Rings Omega]]'', the winning [[Battle Couple]] is granted immortality that regenerates any injury short of vital organ removal and special telomeres that [[The Ageless|halt the aging process]]. It comes with a 10,000 year time limit though {{spoiler|just in time for the next Ark Arena}}.
== Web Comics ==
* Schlock, from ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]'', as an amorphous life form, can regenerate from any amount of mass remaining, but as his memories are distributed throughout his body, he loses his mind if he takes enough damage. His eyes are actually separate lifeforms, that grow on trees on his homeworld. Uusually for this trope he needs to regenerate from what's left of his ''own'' mass. If enough of that is lost, he explicitly needs a large outside source of organic material.
** Additionally, medical technology of the twenty-third century can regrow your body from the head down in less time than it takes you to naturally heal a paper cut.▼

** K'Z'K also has an amazing healing ability coupled with immortality. At one point Bun-Bun [http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/990215 ran him through a meat grinder] and [http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/990217 turned him into burgers].
