Line 26:
* ''[[Hell Teacher Nube]]'' ended up with a [[Red Right Hand]] because his latent spiritual powers caused him to be a target for demons (who wanted to eat him) and ghosts (who wanted help from someone who could interact with them).
* ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler]]'': Hayate has delicious supernatural blood. It's part of the His Life Sucks package. In fact, his blood when he's half-dying is one of the most mystically infused substances in the world; and can completely power up {{spoiler|Isumi or her great-grandmother}}. The latter has no problem with snacking on him, while the former tends to abstain, but once when Nagi was in danger, {{spoiler|she tasted just a little and that gave her enough power to both break a [[Power Limiter]] curse that was on her and use her magic powers to teleport Hayate onto a spaceship in freaking Outer Space.}}
* in ''[[Wild ArmsARMs]] Twilight Venom'', Mirabelle (a [[Our Vampires Are Different|Crimson Noble]]) gets a small taste of Sheyenne's blood and flips out, wanting some more.
* Considering how often she was attacked by the [[Monster of the Week]] in [[Sailor Moon]], the fans decided that Naru has this problem.
* The man-eating youkai of ''[[Natsume Yuujinchou]]'' often comment on how delicious Natsume smells because of the strength of his power.

* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'': Slayer blood is often implied to be better tasting to vampires than normal humans. It was Slayer blood that allowed [[The Master (trope)|The Master]] to break his [[Sealed Evil in a Can|seal]] at the end of the first season. Slayer blood later healed Angel in season 3. Also, the Hellmouth is just pleasant to be around for those of the evil sort.
* As seen in the page quote, in the series finale of ''[[Angel]]'' Marcus Hamilton makes the mistake of telling a ''vampire'' that great power is contained in his blood. Also, otters' blood is delicious.
* In ''[[Ghost Whisperer]]'', [[I See Dead People|Melinda]] is usually chased by ghosts in need of help (whether they want it or not), but there is the occasional guy who [[Our Souls Are Different|collects souls to gain power]], and they tend to target her. Her occultist teacher friend told her that "If a dark spirit collects the soul of a light spirit, it's like a hundred points!".
Line 73:
*** In ''[[Vampire: The Requiem]]'', werewolf blood is especially nutritious to vampires, effectively delivering twice as much juice as human blood... but a) it stirs up [[Enemy Within|the Beast]] and b) you have to deal with a ''werewolf'' to get it.
*** The ''[[New World of Darkness]]'' has Merits and Minor Templates (think almost, but not quite, supernatural) for mortals that are essentially [[Weirdness Magnet]]s. Any merit that allows the mortal to see ghosts or spirits usually has the downside that, even if they aren't immediately drawn to you, both such creatures will notice being noticed and at the least pester you and at worst try to [[Demonic Possession|possess you]].
* ''[[Exalted]]'' has the Abyssal Exalted who, as creatures of death, have difficulties recovering [[Mana|Essence]] while outside of the Underworld. One way around this is to [[Our Vampires Are Different|pop fangs and drain the Essence out of people in the form of blood]]. Needless to say, enlightened Essence users (such as other Exalted) yield much more return than plain old mortals.
