* [[Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game|MMORPG]]s have an unfortunate habit of sending players after these sorts of bad guys, especially for Raid encounters. Especially painful when [[Bladder of Steel|pausing hurts the team]].
** The all-time god-king of this trope is Pandemonium Warden of ''[[Final Fantasy XI]]''. Absolute Virtue may be [[Nigh Invulnerability|practically invincible]], but [https://www.destructoid.com/final-fantasy-xi-boss-causes-vomiting-takes-18-hours-to-beat-99391.phtml 18 hours, and the Warden still isn't dead?] Makes one wonder if the developers like leather and pain, really.
*** Square Enix has changed things in response to the bad press about Pandemonium Warden so that both it and Absolute Virtue are weakened and will vanish after two hours of fighting. However, while the new PW isn't unreasonable to beat within the alloted time, AV remains unbeaten without cheating. SE seems to be fond of the [[Guide Dang It]] [[Puzzle Boss]], except without the "guide" part.
