The subordinates have to make do with {{spoiler|abducted humans}}, though. {{spoiler|The displaced brains are incinerated.}}
* In Lupin III: The Secret of Mamo, {{spoiler|Mamo's method of immortality is making clones of himself; since he cloned his own mind perfectly, he always thought to carry on this operation. His plan hits a snag, though, as every clone is lacking in some way or another, and so eventually a newly made clone would be left with no value of life at all. In one dub Mamo even states: "The price is high for eternal life..." }}
* Doro from Octavia Butler's ''Patternmaster'' novels has no particular resistance to injury or disease, but every time he dies his soul jumps into the body of the nearest person, killing the body's original owner. Even though this is involuntary, [[Bad Powers, Bad People|six thousand years of body-stealing has given him very little regard for human life or human dignity]].
* In Jeff Long's novel ''The Descent'', the leader of the hadals (an ancient race of [[Beneath the Earth|subterranean]] hominids) has this ability, and is apparently so old that he was the original inspiration for the concept of Satan.
* [http://egscomics.com/index.php?arcid=77 Sirleck] of ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'' is a former human who achieved this kind of immortality.
