Line 299:
** A somewhat more comical mercy kill comes in the form of a zombie who has been animated to provide the local coffin maker with a permanent listener—the coffin maker is rather annoying and will talk endlessly about anything and everything, and is so clueless that he doesn't even realize his best listener is a zombie. The zombie begs the Nameless One to undo the enchantment and return him to nothingness because he can't bear to listen to the man any longer.
* [[Sealed Evil in a Can|Axenos]] from ''[[Wizard 101]]'' uses the more villainous version of this trope when he decides that to reward the player for releasing him by killing them first so they do not have to witness the horrors he'll bring upon the Spiral. Fortunately he's more bark than bite and no tougher than most boss battles.
* Redeye, the main villain of H'aanit's arc in ''[[Octopath Traverler]]'' was [[Was Once a Man|originally Graham Crossford]] who was used as a vessel for the game's true villain, {{Spoiler|Galdera}}. The ritual failed but it mutated Graham into the beast who had nothing but brief remembrances of his humanity and could only beg for death when it happened. Killing Redeye also put Graham's soul to rest.
