This trope refers to [[Mooks]] that heal other Mooks. Sometimes these guys can revive dead Mooks or take them from the brink of death back to full health. Other times, all they can do is delay the inevitable. Either way, it is usually a priority to [[Shoot the Medic First|defeat these enemies first]].

* In ''[[City of Heroes]]'', we are given the Tsoo "Sorcerer" minions. These little bastards not only heal their fellow mooks, they also TELEPORT OUT OF RANGE when they're not healing your enemies, so that you're forced to either track them down (And get slaughtered by their mainstream mook allies) or just focus on their allies, and wait for them to come back and heal them, making it all futile. Oh, and they're just as likely to teleport ahead where there are more mooks as back in the area you cleared, so tracking them down could draw more fire. Not too bad if you have some sort of immobilization or hold, but if you're a standard melee class, you're pretty much screwed.

** Just as annoying were the Immune Surgeons of the Cimerora zone, even though they didn't teleport. Fortunately they didn't appear anywhere but that zone.
* ''[[Champions Online]]'' has "atomic reanimators" in the desert zone who not only blast you with radiation, but can raise mutants you've just slain back from the dead and send them rampaging towards you. And unless you're ramped up to the point you can one-shot them, they WILL reanimate something before they bite the floor....

* The ''[[Borderlands]]'' "The Secret Armoury Of General Knoxx" DLC introduces [[Badass Army|Crimsom Lance]] Combat Medics, who can plant towers which heal nearby Crimson Lance units (similar to Roland's sentry will with the right upgrades).
