Impossible Item Drop: Difference between revisions

* If you can kill it in ''[[Cave Story]]'', it will either drop [[Evolving Weapon|experience crystals]], [[Heal Thyself|hearts]], or (if you have the missile launcher) rockets.

 

* In the ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' MMORPG, most non-humanoid opponents drop items instead of, or in addition to, money. While there is some attempt to make the items dropped match the creatures in question, it is often forced, such as making the bodies of most types of carnivorous animals - including things such as harpies and giant spiders - edible delicacies and/or requisite components for items the players can make or trade for. These are often also [[Plot Coupon]]s for one or more quests as well. Even so, it is not unusual for a deceased opponent to leave behind something that makes no sense at all for them to have had.

** Raid boss class enemies, however, typically [[Money Spider|hoard both gold]] and 2 to 6 pieces of equipment [[Randomly Drops|(out of a total loot table of 8-12 specific items)]], regardless of what they are. Sometimes the equipment is mildly appropriate, such as a weapon the enemy was seen to use, a dragon's jawbone one may wear as a helmet, or something thematically linked to the enemy's lore. Most items, however, have no reason whatsoever to be upon this particular boss. One may wonder why exactly does Ragnaros, a massive fire elemental lord, have a vast collection of pants for every class in the game.
