Spelling/grammar fix(es)


* According to [[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons Gary Gygax]], a similar creature appeared in the original Castle Greyhawk campaign he ran (not the version later offered by TSR). He threw a golden golem encrusted with gems (worth a small fortune if the thing were ever killed) at the [[PlayerCharacter PC]]s, but made it fast enough to always outrun them when fleeing. Later editions added the similarly rare Living Stell and variants based on other metals.

** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'': There are slime enemies known as Chus which come in various colors, [[AsteroidsMonster combine with each other to form larger chus and divide when attacked]] and leave Chu Jelly behind when defeated. What the Chu Jelly does depends on the color of the Chu that dropped it (red ones restore health, yellow ones act as lantern oil, purple ones have a random effect from healing you fully to damaging you upon consumption etc.). The rarest kind is the Rare Chu, which is a pearly color and sparkles. The Chu jelly that this kind drops acts as the Great Fairy's Tears (a bottled item that not only fully heals you but also doubles your attack temporarily). Usually you can only hold one bottle of Great Fairy's Tears at a time, but you can have a bottle of Rare Chu Jelly while having a bottle of Great Fairies' Tears. Obtaining Rare Chu Jelly is extremely difficult because not only do they spawn very rarely, but they almost always spawn with other chus to combine with, and Chus always take on the more common Chu's color. Even if you manage to kill the Rare Chu first, you need to scoop up the Chu Jelly while having dozens of other Chus swarming you.

** ''VideoGame/KirbysDreamCollection: Special Edition'': The Combat Chamber stages feature golden Waddle Dees that grant you 1000 points for killing them, but they tend to disappear offscreen just as quickly as they spawn in, so Kirby has to defeat them quickly before he loses his chance.

On a second thought, maybe it can be salvaged like this. The original edit was still nattery in its wording and misindented as well

** Since second edition D&D has had "Living Steel" which was basically a T-1000 (but not as intelligent). Later versions have added bronze, copper, etc.

*** The game has the Tsuchinoko, which flee as soon as you enter the room about 90% of the time. If you don't kill it fast enough, it will flee anyways. Compounding this is the soul it RandomlyDrops which is needed for OneHundredPercentCompletion. Making it better: Tsuchinoko Soul decreases the buying cost of items, including the ludicrously expensive accessory that makes Souls easier to get. So you can grind money for the Soul Eater Ring to make it easier to get Tsuchinoko, or you can camp Tsuchinoko to make it easier to get the Soul Eater Ring. To top it all off, Tsuchinoko requires that you go back into a boss room, which you have no reason to do. And it doesn't always show up, either. And as if it wasn't troublesome enough, it spits poison at you if you're not careful, reducing your attack power.
