Line 111:
* In ''[[Redwall|Mossflower]]'', Tsarmina is extremely unnerved by the fact that no matter how many times she seems to cut him down, Martin refuses to die and refuses to run.
** The Badger Lords often embody this, to a certain extent: while under [[Unstoppable Rage|Blood Wrath]], they will continue to fight, regardless of injuries, until they either drop dead or kill their enemy.
* This is one of the traits of Space Marines in the [[Warhammer 4000040,000]]. In the novel ''Rynn's World'', a Crimson Fists captain has his arm ripped off by an Ork. Said Marine proceeds to kill the ork, then exclaim he's ready for more. When his brothers point out that he's ''missing a goddamn arm'', the Marine's response is to say "No, I haven't. It's right over there."
 
 
Line 151:
* ''[[Advent Rising]]''. In a cut-scene hero falls out of a walkway, hits the side of a building hard, slides down it for about thirty stories and slams into an observation platform. He just shakes it off. And this is ''before'' getting any superpowers.
* In ''[[Persona 3]]'', {{spoiler|the main character managed to live for a couple months after using all of his life energy to seal Nyx away from the world in order to fulfill a promise he made with the rest of SEES. Too bad he couldn't hold out for a couple more minutes...}}
* Zaeed Massani from ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'', when talking about his former colleague Vido Santiago, mentions that, twenty years ago, Vido paid six of Zaeed's men to restrain him while Vido held a gun to his head and pulled the trigger (which explains how Zaeed got the [[Badass]] [[Good Scars, Evil Scars|scar]]). When Commander Shepard acts surprised that he survived, Zaeed casually responds, "Yeah. And you survived {{spoiler|your ship getting disintegrated.<ref>Not technically true, because Shepard did, in fact, die. [[Back Fromfrom the Dead|(S)he just recovered.]]</ref>}} A stubborn enough person can survive just about anything. Rage is a hell of an anesthetic."
* In ''[[Final Fantasy V]]'', [[Badass Grandpa|Galuf]] gets put down to '''0 HP''' by Ex-Death but stands his ground and keeps fighting anyways. {{spoiler|Unfortunately, as soon as the battle is over, he keels over and [[Deader Than Dead|dies for real.]]}}
* In ''[[Mabinogi Fantasy Life]]'' the deadly status is this as a gameplay element. The player character has 0&nbsp;hp or less (in theory there is no lower limit, just try getting hit by a dragon) and somehow they're still standing. Should they get hit one more time in this state they die no matter how much damage it was. This mainly happens when you get hit for something that should kill you when you have more than half health, and for bonus points the chance of this actually happening is governed partially by [[Heroic Willpower|the character's will stat.]]
* In ''[[No More Heroes]]'', quoted above, several characters survive impalement and massive blood loss before deciding its time to die. One boss in the first game refuses to die until she's won.
* In ''[[Tales of Maj 'Eyal]]'', Berserkers can unlock the Unstoppable talent that prevents any effect at all from reducing them to less than 1 HP for a time, while Necromancers have the Blurred Mortality talent that changes their threshold for death from 0 HP to -50, or even less - at maximum talent level you have to get to -250 HP to die.
