** To be more specific: Will-o-Wisps, who are, count 'em: magic resistant, fast, turn invisible, can only be hurt with silver/magic weapons, drain stats and can make your weapons/armor rot off your body. And Spider Daedra are literally giant deadly demonic spider-women. Who spawn miniature versions of themselves that paralyze you, so they fit the trope too.
* [[Draco in Leather Pants]] - Mannimarco, and by extension, his Necromancer followers.
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Despite being hated so much, the Adoring Fan is also considered this in a convoluted way. Lots of fans love him because of all the creative ways he can be killed, and the fact that he can respawn later makes it even better. Basically, he's such a good punching bag that he's earned love because of that!
** The Imperial Guards in general are also this due to how hilariously hammy they are when apprehending the player character when a crime has been committed.
** Ditto for Lucien Lachance, your mentor during the Dark Brotherhood storyline. The Brotherhood in general is very popular, but especially Lucien for his (at least, artistically interpreted) good looks, awesome voice, and friendly nature despite being a cold-blooded, card-carrying assassin. He's so popular that {{spoiler|he came back in the next game as a summon once you get far enough in that game's Dark Brotherhood questline.}}
* [[Game Breaker]] - So much that it takes up half [[Game Breaker/The Elder Scrolls|the page]].
* [[Goddamn Bats]] -: Goddamn scamps. Goddamn rats. Goddamn wolves. Goddamn silly bandits.
* [[Good Bad Bugs]]: Once Mythic Dawn agents start openly attacking people, it's possible for one such agent, Cingor, to be rendered not just peaceful, but ''friendly'' with a high enough influence in the Fighter's Guild.
** One of the rather hilarious ones involves Shadowmere, the horse you can get during the Dark Brotherhood questline. Unlike all other horses she's marked as essential and cannot be killed, only briefly knocked unconscious. It is still possible to access her as if she was a corpse, though, and as with all other bodies it is possible to place items into her inventory, essentially turning her into a portable storage chest. Furthermore, placing potions into her inventory will cause her to actually drink them during battle, enhancing her already considerable combat effectiveness.
