The [[Inverted Trope|exact opposite]] of [[Fake Ultimate Mook]]. Often employed as [[City Guards]] if someone is needed to patrol the [[Broken Bridge]].

{{examples}}

 

* The time-traveling FPS ''[[Darkest of Days]]'' has Opposition Agents, enemy time travelers equipped with futuristic weapons and armor, not to mention energy shields that are completely impervious to the period Civil War and WWI era weapons you're equipped with. Whenever they show up, your only option is to run like hell. Killing "blue aura" characters also causes them to teleport in to kill you, as a sort of [[Video Game Cruelty Punishment]].

** Later in the story, {{spoiler|an upgrade becomes available that lets you kill them outright, even with Civil War-era weaponry.}} They're difficult to fight with period weapons, but doing so can be very helpful.

** The original game has Stop and Go Station, a level designed entirely around invincible enemies. Rock-Crocs (Kremelings made of stone, with [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]] [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]) infest the mineshaft, pacing back and forth for all eternity. Get in their way, and you're toast. The only way to deal with them is to touch the floating barrels to get them to change from a green "GO" to a red "STOP", which causes the Rock-Crocs to fall asleep. This only lasts for a few seconds, so you must race from barrel to barrel to avoid getting hit. It's not really that difficult, but is infamous for being one of the [[Nightmare Fuel|scariest]] parts of the whole series.

*** In the Japanese version, these enemies can be defeated with Donkey Kong's handslap.
