*** This also applies to Pathfinder. It conspicuously picked up an immunity to polymorph effects, so you couldn't use those spells to remove the immortality from its statblock. Not that that stopped players. Paizo inadvertently provided a backdoor with Baleful Shadow Transmutation. [[note]]Long story short, you can use an illusion spell to trick the PF 1e Tarrasque into thinking you turned it into something mortal, making it psychosomatically lose its immortality for 24 hours, before it realizes that doesn't make any sense.[[/note]]

** Some stages are designed to make the player lose if they take too long, usually by triggering a HopelessBossFight with a strong Assassin Bear or another enemy. However, some of these are possible to defeat. For example, in Merciless Onslaught, a 4000% Assassin Bear comes out if one of the One Horns dies, but it's possible to freeze it with the Thunderbolt cannon for just long enough to kill it.
** Enemies that use a SuicideAttack, such as Elder Flame Doron, are designed to be unkillable through normal means -- in the case of Doron, it has over 2 million HP, only stays on the field for a short period of time, and its attack weakens cats to 1% damage. However, through use of high-damage units like Lasvoss Reborn and [[spoiler:Idi:N2]], paired with careful timing of Sniper the Cat to reset its attack animation, it's possible to kill the enemy Doron. Defeating it drops a whopping 8,776 money.

** In the last level, you will meet the [[http://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Riders Riders]], three immortal beings who, when killed, will always rise from the dead again. There are only two known ways to dispose of them permanently: kill them, and fill the level entirely with monsters so they have nowhere to reappear, or turn them into green slime. Neither is considered a bug (in fact, [[DevelopersForesight there's a special message for the former]]), although most players consider them much more of a hassle than simply finishing the game. It's also possible to level-drain two of the three until they become weak enough to enslave with Charm Monster -- ''now'' you're playing with power!

This is generally easy for most monsters, as almost any monster that is created 120 times is considered extinct and will never be generated again. ''Unique'' monsters can also be made extinct because the game has LoadsAndLoadsOfRules and DevelopersForesight.

To do this, the player needs to [[spoiler:wish for a statue of a mail daemon, cast stone-to-flesh on it and to kill the resulting daemon in one turn before it disappears with a cry of "I'm late!"]] No more mail will be delivered for the remainder of the play session.

* In the genocide route of ''VideoGame/UndertaleYellow'', Martlet retreats from the battle in Snowdin when her HP gets low enough that your next attack could kill her. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMziOKBq2lI It's possible to get around this]] by lowering her HP to just above this threshold, then switching to stronger ammo that can finish her off in one attack. Although she has [[DevelopersForesight unique dialogue for this]] (to the tune of TheBattleDidntCount), the game [[GameBreakingBug crashes afterward]].
