* The [[Hologram]] of Queen Serenity in ''[[Sailor Moon]]''.
* {{spoiler|Hohenheim}} in ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]''.
Line 26 ⟶ 24:
* Karla, from ''[[Record of Lodoss War]]'' is this. She hails from Kastuul, an ancient kingdom of sorcery which is implied to have once been the capital of Lodoss itself. A powerful sorceress in her own right, she survived the destruction of the magic city by infusing a mystic circlet with her soul, retaining all her memories and powers as the circlet possesses the bodies of numerous hosts over the subsequent 500 years.
* ''[[End of Evangelion]]'' reveals in the penultimate scene that this was Unit 01's true purpose: since humans can't exist anywhere but [[Physical God|Eva]]s can, [[Sealed Good in a Can|Yui]] reached the logical conclusion of uploading her soul into [[Super Prototype|Unit 01]] and become an everlasting monument. That she was used to fight [[Cosmic Horror]]s in the meantime is just a perk.

Line 78 ⟶ 75:
* In [[Endless Ocean Blue World]], you can find 3 extinct creatures, including one distinctively called "Living Fossil", but most notably, a plesiosaur.
* The Weapons Master in [[Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure]] is one of these; the last Arkeyan, according to one of the story scrolls.
* {{spoiler|Elh and Béluga}} are the last two Paladins in ''[[Solatorobo]]''. Their home was destroyed 300 years ago, and while they seem to fit in fairly well with present-day people (no mentions of ancient clothes or [[Ye Olde Butchered
* The ''[[Fallout]]'' series has several characters that serve as living remnants of pre-nuclear war America. Besides a number of pre-war [[Our Zombies Are Different|Ghouls]], prominent examples include President Eden, Mr. House, ZAX and SKYNET, the Think Tank, and Professor Calvert, all of whom are either sentient computers or [[Brain In a Jar|Brains in a Jar]] of one sort or another.
* ''[[Neverwinter Nights 2]]'': {{spoiler|The great dragon Nolalothcaragascint (usually shortened to Nolaloth) was bribed by Illefarn to destroy the [[Big Bad|King of Shadows]]. The King struck him down after a great battle. Illefarn transmuted his heart into crystal and bound his soul to it. Nolaloth has since been consulted by people seeking to defeat the King once and for all, first the [[Scary Dogmatic Aliens|Githyanki]], then Ammon Jerro, and finally the [[Player Character|Knight-Captain]]. It is the KC that Nolaloth finally asks to kill him by destroying his heart, a task complicated by the fact that the valley left by the mountain-sized dragon's crash is now populated by a pair of young black dragons.}}
