Line 3:
 
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]].

* ''[[Command and Conquer|Tiberium Sun]]'' has the [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Medic]]. Left to their own devices, they'll extend the life of any infantry based enemy considerably.
* ''[[Golden Sun]]'' has several enemies, including the Phoenix, which are capable of resurrecting their defeated allies.
Line 23:
* Shaman Goblins in ''Torchlight''.
* In ''[[Runescape]]'', Tztok-Jad summons healers halfway through his fight.
* In ''[[City of Heroes]]'', wethere are givenwere the Tsoo "Sorcerer" minions. These little bastards not only healhealed their fellow mooks, they also TELEPORT''teleported OUTout OFof RANGErange'' when they're notweren't healing your enemies, so that you're were forced to either track them down (Andand 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 were just as likely to teleport ahead where there arewere more mooks as back ininto the area you cleared, so tracking them down could draw more fire. Not too bad if you havehad some sort of immobilization or hold, but if you're were a standard melee class, you're were 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).
