* The Cerberus group in the ''[[Mass Effect]]'' series. Initially it was just a shady group with a couple of hidden bases. Come ''Mass Effect 2'' they're an almost all powerful organization that are central to the plot.

* Legendary Pokémon. Gen I: 4 rare Mons only available at the ends of several dungeons ([[Slippy-Slidey Ice World|Seafoam Islands]], [[No OSHA Compliance|Power Plant]], [[The Very Definitely Final Dungeon|Victory Road]] and [[Bonus Dungeon|Cerulean Cave]]). Gen II: 3 randomly appearing Mons out of nowhere and two special Mons that require special items to catch. Gen III: [[Olympus Mons|Creators of the planet]] added. Gen IV: We have [[Eldritch Abomination|Dialga, Palkia, Giratina]] and [[Physical God|Arceus]].

* [[Legacy of Kain]]: In Blood Omen, the "Heart of Darkness" was just a setting-appropriate take on a heal potion, albeit with cool flavor text (an enterprising fledgling could amass a full 99-stack).
