Line 396:
* [[Adventure Quest Worlds]] has the DragonSlayer class. One of its class abilities is Impale. What makes it worthy of this trope is that the ability can be done with a fish.
** Not done ''to'' a fish, mind. ''With'' a fish.
* ''[[World of Warcraft]]'':
** In Pandaria, several impaled klaxxi are at the entrance to the Heart of Fear, likely soldiers who displeased [[God Save Us From the Queen| the cruel Empress.]]
** In Blade’s Edge Mountains in the Outlands, several dragons are impaled on jagged spires, a grisly reminder of Gruul’s atrocities during [[Warcraft 2| the Second War]].
** Warlord Paresh is a boss in Eye of Ashara who can do this to a player with a spear attack. If it hits, it does ongoing damage but strangely, does not impair the victim’s ability to fight.
** A deadlier version of this attack is used by Beastlord Darmac in Blackrock Foundry in ''Warlords of Draenor''. Hitting with his Pin Down attack leaves the target helpless until helped by another player. It’s unwise to fight him alone, even if you’re high enough level to complete the rest of the Raid.
** Shortly after the events that start ''Battle for Azeroth'', shards of azerite erupt through the chambers of the Heart of Azeroth, one of which impales the Maiden of Vitality. Worse, if you speak to her, it seems she is barely functioning, meaning she’s conscious, and there’s nothing you can do to help. Fortunately, after the event where you bring M.O.T.H.E.R. to the chamber, the Maiden has been freed and repaired.
* ''[[Dark Messiah of Might and Magic|Dark Messiah]]'' allows the player to kick enemies into spikes for instant-kills. So often in fact, that one review referred to the game as "Sir Kick-Alot Deathboot in the Land of the Conveniently Placed Spikeracks".
** Also, Arantir impales Sareth on a stone spike after there meeting in Asha's temple.
