*** The Master artificially ages the Doctor in order to show the Doctor's appearance if he never regenerated and really looked all of his 900 years. This results in the Doctor turning into a creature resembling the offspring of [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Gollum]] and a [[Film/HarryPotter House Elf]]. The concept art of his aging originally intended him to look [[http://images.fanpop.com/images/image_uploads/Doctor-who-concept-art-doctor-who-179742_730_400.jpg rather like]] [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/StarWarsYoda Yoda]].

* In Creator/ZennaHenderson's short story "Walking Aunt Daid," several generations of the narrator's family have been saddled with the care of the impossible elderly Aunt Daid, who is so old that she's been reduced to a dry, shrunken, blind and mute husk. Her name stems from a joke by the narrator's great-great-grandfather, who complained that she should have been "daid" a long time ago, leaving the narrator to wonder how old she really is if people were saying that about her five generations ago.

The Devil plays impressed and offers the mortal a relatively unchanging appearance and it would be within his tolerances. If Mr. Bedeker can live 1,000 years, he won't change much at all.

* In Creator/LawrenceWattEvans's ''Literature/{{Ethshar}}'' novel ''Literature/TheMisenchantedSword'', the protagonist comes into possession of an (over-)enchanted sword. Part of the enchantment ensures he will not die of any cause until he has slain one hundred men with the sword; however, it has no protection against disfigurement, maiming, or aging. Fifty years later as he begins to suffer from cataracts, he realizes the last thing he wants is to endure an eternity in an aging, blind body. To avoid this fate, he goes adventuring to finish up his kill count, which is harder than he'd like due to his age.

This is a(n ugly) sister trope to VainSorceress, who hides her aging with [[FunctionalMagic magic]]. Compare ImmortalityImmorality and WhoWantsToLiveForever. Compare and contrast ElderlyImmortal, where the immortal character looks like an old person but doesn't continue to age. The [[WitchClassic Witch]] or WizardClassic is often a case of this -- their magic [[WizardsLiveLonger allowing them to live longer than most humans]], but not allowing them to hold onto their youth, hence the long beards of classic wizards and image of a classic witch being an elderly woman. ImmortalityBeginsAtTwenty is an aversion; the character was made immortal while young and retains their youth. May be a punishment [[TheGrimReaper Death]] levies on [[EnemiesWithDeath its enemies]], or a [[TheProblemWithFightingDeath result of being defeated.]] It may also be the price of a DealWithTheDevil for immortality. The inversion of this trope is NotGrowingUpSucks.
