* Can occur in a interesting way in [[Ape Escape]] 3: Certain monkiesmonkeys can do a special attack that knocks the player on his/her butt and drop their equipped item. It's limited to the Stun-Club [[Oh Crap|and the Monkey-Net]]. If, let's say, get's caught by your own monkey-net, what do you think happens? You get sent back to the hub-level. [[Hoist by His Own Petard|Truly hoisted by the player's own petard!]]
* Stross of ''[[Dead Space 2]]'' pulls a [[Face Heel Turn]] to start the third act of the game. He does so by poking [[Action Girl]] Ellie's [[Eye Scream|eye out with a screwdriver]]. When he goes to do the same thing to [[Player Character|Isaac]], Stross promptly [[Cutscene Boss|gets the same screwdriver]] [[Karmic Death|pierced into his brain]].
* In ''[[Age of Empires II]]'' (Conqueror's Expansion for sure) there is the Petard unit. It is a large, bulky guy carrying two giant kegs (looks like one in each arm) of gunpowder, it then walks into (say) a wall and ''explodes'', killing the unit and doing a good deal of damage, destroying most weak buildings.
