* Liches often combine Types V and VII. Their skeletal bodies are quite difficult to destroy, but they use a [[Soul Jar]], known as a phylactery in case of their destruction. They were popularized by [[Dungeons and Dragons]], but have since shown up in the [[Warcraft]] series, among other places.
** They also have a slight part of Type I and heavily on Type IV, since they have a very sturdy damage resistance overcome by a mixed combination of damage types in D&D (bludgeon and magic) and if killed they resurrect close to their Phylactery.
*** Demi-liches (at least in 2nd. ed.) can actually be hurt by magic... That is, one or two very particular magic spells.
** Demi-Liches of the D&D also have the Type I at being Nigh-Invulnerable. They have a really high damage resistance, are completely impervious to magic and can fully heal (or mostly, based on DVs) at will.
* ''[[Tsukihime]]'': Considering all the vampires, of course there's Type X (vampiric) and Type V (undead), though with their cannon-fodder status, calling the latter "immortal" would be pushing it. Any vampire of note is a Type III, but to be more specific...
** Arc—the last True Ancestor vampire—manages to survive ''being cut into pieces'' by Shiki's [[One-Hit Kill|attack on her "lines of death"]]. Usually, anything cut along those lines cannot be rejoined, and she would have eventually died anyway. But Arcueid has the extremely rare [[Reality Warper|"Marble Phantasm" ability (also known as "Realization of Imagination")]]. By temporarily sacrificing most of her power, she rebuilds her body (or at least, the places where she was cut) from scratch ''on the molecular level''. However, even this ability would be useless if Shiki struck her [[Deader Than Dead|"point of absolute death"]].
