Line 60:
** In addition, he possesses the Mark of Caine from the Bible. Any damage inflicted on him is returned seven fold to his attacker. On the off chance someone did manage to kill Caine, they would instantly die.
* Similar to the above example is Togashi Yokuni in ''[[Legend of the Five Rings]]''. The utterly mysterious lord of the Dragon Clan, who is so enigmatic that those who speak with him don't even really remember what his voice sounded like or what words were said, is actually {{spoiler|Togashi-Kami, the immortal child of the Sun and Moon and the only remaining sibling of the first Emperor.

** One example that is essential to the plot of a story, Dispater is this in ''Fires of Dis'' when he confronts the party at the climax of the story. Aside from the obvious reason here (the module is designed for PCs of levels 5 to 9, while Dispater is someone that epic-level heroes would find a challenge) the text does not give him stats here, the text simply saying that nothing the PCs have can injure him in the slightest. Fortunately, he has no desire to fight them as he finds their mere presence amusing - he had expected "thousands of noble paladins descending upon my hateful plane in the name of all that's holy" rather than "a band of — you'll pardon the expression — ordinary thrillseekers" and is more than willing to give them what they came for and send them on their way.
* In one of the ''[[Warrior Cats]]'' tabletop games included with a few of the books, if you attempt to fight a [[Humans Are Cthulhu|Twoleg, it becomes this trope.]] The PCs' only options are to attack, which does nothing but damage them, or run away.
* [[Eldritch Horror|The big boss himself]] in ''[[Call of Cthulhu (tabletop game)]]''. In some versions, his ''only'' stat is that he [[Just Eat Him|eats 1d6 players]] ''per round''.
