Line 80:
*** His Defile ability plays this trope straight. He targets a random player and makes a dark puddle appear under his feet. Every tick of damage made against any player makes it grow a yard larger. It only takes one inattentive player or two players who keep trying to hang around the edge too close (and "leapfrog" the puddle growth, so to speak) and the raid wipe is guaranteed.

* Happened in the lore for the dungeon Frore in ''[[Asheron's Call]]''.
* As far as ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20130813000618/http://www.armadaonline.com/ Armada Online]'' is concerned, a common occurrence on the Alliance side if Nomads are equal to or greater than your own side, due to the ghastly Runabout (structure building NPC) AI which causes him to run in circles around the designated area, launch into an assault against immensely more powerful opponent(s), run into a horde of [[Mooks]] guns blazing and die to the inevitable gangraping, or be stuck in a fight-or-flight cycle while low on health going back to base and returning over and over without building a damned thing. This happens most often when trying to take the middle of the three Sci Lab locations, and if you focus on the middle when one of these is occurring your team is pretty much baked.

Nomad rarely seem to have such problems.
* A fully-farmed carry hero (in the sense of "being able to carry the whole team to victory) in the ''[[Warcraft]] III'' map "[[Defense of the Ancients]]" is ''supposed'' to be able to single-handedly wipe the enemy team. In practice, of course, things rarely work that way. Such as if the enemy team has stuns/silences...
