A costumed character cannot remove their costume, or an ordinary character cannot remove their clothes. Maybe a Freak Lab Accident has fused it to their body, maybe it's the only thing keeping them alive, or the only thing keeping those around them alive, or maybe it's a cursed Artifact of Doom. Whatever the reason, they have to wear it (or a substantial part of it) all the time; removing it is either very debilitating, very dangerous, or simply impossible. For long-running series, finding a way to remove the costume may constitute a Story Arc, and actually doing so can provide an excuse to update a character's appearance. For some characters, this is a convenient source of Angst. Some works may address problems with (or make jokes about) waste disposal or other biological needs. This is also a fetish for some people, especially those with a forced chastity fetish. This trope is found in many traditional RPGs in the form of "cursed" equipment and weapons. Typically, these items will be noticeably more powerful than equivalent gear found at that point in the game, but will almost always come at the price of having a really nasty side-effect (such as being randomly stunned or damaging yourself while fighting). Trying to unequip the item under normal circumstances will invoke this trope, greeting you with an ominous message about you being unable to remove it. Legitimately removing clingy costumes would usually require a special spell, item, or a paid service from an NPC to do so — sometimes at the expense of that item. When the item is smaller than an article of clothing, then it's a Clingy MacGuffin. The Heroic Host likely can't remove the costume because it's alive and bonded with him. Also see Limited Wardrobe, Clothes Make the Superman and 24-Hour Armor. Contrast Unlikely Spare. Not to be confused with Form-Fitting Wardrobe. |

Five Nights at Freddy's: The animatronic suits in the games are full of sharp metal, so if you were to get in one, voluntarily or not, you would be crushed and mutilated before you could escape. Five Nights at Freddy's 3 introduces the Springlock animatronics, which can also be worn like costumes. Phone Guy's instructions make it very clear that doing this is incredibly risky, as the spring locks can come loose very easily (even by breathing on them), which would cause all the animatronic goodies to spring back into place and impale the wearer like an iron maiden. In fact, Serial Killer William Afton was trapped and seemingly killed this way inside the Spring Bonnie suit. But he always comes back, his soul reanimating his corpse within the suit as the murderous "Springtrap". |

The manga anthology for Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony has Shuichi using a costume-changing machine at the casino, and accidentally forcing Maki into a maid's uniform. Very quickly, they learn it can't be removed, so Shuichi tries the machine over and over again to undo his mistake, resulting in everyone's outfits getting changed. | |

In Samurai Jack, the Spy Catsuits worn by the Daughters of Aku are actually composed of a tar-like magical substance fused to their skin, which the daughters were thrown into as children.

Runaways: The comic originally seemed to be going this direction with Chase's fistigons, robotic gloves that shoot fire, but the idea was quickly scrapped, perhaps because the writers realized that Chase would have difficulty performing everyday tasks like holding a fork or getting dressed. In one alternate universe shown in What If? ("What if the Runaways had become the Young Avengers?"), Chase gets stabbed in the chest by Victorious (Victor Mancha's evil future self) and has to wear Iron Lad's chest plate for the rest of his life to keep the wound from re-opening. |

DC Animated Universe: Mr. Freeze from Batman: The Animated Series suffered a Freak Lab Accident that requires him to always keep his body at sub-zero temperatures. When outside of his special prison cell, he has to wear a costume that constantly keeps him cold. In Justice League, Lex Luthor needs one of these after the kryptonite he carries around gives him cancer. He can take it off for short periods of time, though. The DCAU version of Captain Atom is living energy. His suit is the only thing that allows him to keep a coherent form, and if it is breached, he explodes. |

The Dvar of Age of Wonders: Planetfall are descendants of people trapped on an inhospitable mining world when the collapse of the Star Union destroyed all FTL travel and communication. Since leaving their hazard suits would be suicide outside their habitats the entire Dvar race has evolved to wear them constantly (they were trapped a long time), and cannot handle direct atmospheric exposure anymore, even on non-hostile worlds. The Dvar campaign follows Inessa Zhelezo's attempt to use the Xenoplague as a means to kick-start Dvar evolution to the point that they can leave their hazard suits behind, while her father Korvin believes the Dvar are better off keeping to the old ways. | |

Wolverine: The villain Cyber wears a suit of Adamantium armor that he can't remove. He was eventually killed by Apocalypse, who wanted the Adamantium to restore Wolverine's Adamantium skeleton and claws when he turned him into his latest Horseman of Death. Cyber drifted as a disembodied consciousness for a while, then was able to take over the body of a developmentally disabled man who had Super-Strength, at which point he got himself a new unremovable suit of Adamantium armor. Unfortunately for him, just as the armor was permanently fixed into place, he discovered that his new body had a heart condition, and his armor meant that surgery to correct the issue was no longer possible. He instead had to get an external pacemaker installed, but there wasn't enough Adamantium left to protect it so the person he went to instead used Carbonadium, which is nearly as strong as Adamantium but highly toxic. Cue Oh, Crap! as Cyber realized he was now permanently stuck to it. | |

Spawn: Spawn eventually discovered that he didn't use magic to turn his elaborate cape and chains into weapons and other tools, but that his suit did so of its own will, because K7-Leetha is actually a demon noblewoman that had been bonded to him as part of the process of making him into a Hellspawn. And Leetha is very clingy indeed, complete with Spawn having to physically rip the semi-liquid and fighting-to-stay-attached suit/demon off. Leetha taunted him when he finally came back that she knew he would, calling their "relationship" deeper than any human idea of love. | |

Iron Man: For a while, Tony Stark needed to wear his breastplate all the time (even under his civilian clothing) because it was the only thing stopping the shrapnel from reaching his heart. In the movie, it's just the arc reactor and electromagnet which form the glowing blue part in the center. The Ultimate Iron Man version of Tony Stark has a genetic problem that requires him to constantly wear biotech armor all over his body. |

Dungeons & Dragons: Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition has a nifty creature known as the Resplendent Cloaker. It's a land-based, parasitic ray that resembles, duh, a cloak and feeds, not on its host, but on its host's injuries. On the other hand, it leeches life energy from its host to mend its own injuries. 2nd Edition also had a suit of armor called the Black Prison. Crafted by a Demon Prince, it's incredibly powerful and makes the wearer no longer need to eat, sleep, or even breathe once they put it on. However, due to having been crafted by a Demon Prince it's also cursed- once donned it can't be removed as long as the wearer lives and and eventually it drives its wearer permanently insane, causing them to go on a murderous rampage until they're eventually killed. Oh, and just in case someone had the bright idea of removing it by letting themselves be killed then raised from the dead? When you die in it your soul is automatically sent to the Demon Prince who crafted the armor, and he's not going to give back any souls he gets. Eberron has the prestige class Bone Knight, members of which craft armor from bone. At high level, the armor fuses with the bone knight's body and can't be removed anymore. Distressingly, while the Bone Knight gains a lot of powers that make them more and more like undead, the rules don't say the bone knight no longer needs to eat or drink, nor excreting. |

Stargate SG-1: Season 9 has those "Marriage Bracelets" that supposedly belong to Nuit, but are actually very odd shackles that kill the wearers if away from each other for a period of time, used to... "reprimand" Jaffa who "lose" an important prisoner. Also, the "Atoniek armbands", which only come off after the wearer's immune system rejects the virus the armbands use as an interface. Hopefully, the wearer hasn't gone into fatal organ failure before that happens. |

The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask: One of Link's important tools is the Deku Mask, which turns him into a tiny plant-like monster. Link is cursed with it by the Skull Kid at the start of game, but he is able to cure himself and others when he recovers the Ocarina of Time. Afterwards, Link can play a song that turns curses and restless spirits into masks that grant Link some new power. Ironically, Link is faster as a Deku, and needs the form's abilities to finish the game. Also, Majora's Mask itself is alive and sentient (and nearly omnipotent), and though the Skull Kid seems to be wearing it of his own free (or corrupted) will, when you play the Oath to Order, he seems to be trying to remove it, though he might just be clutching his head and struggling. The Mask can remove itself, though, when it no longer needs the Skull Kid. Removing Princess Styla's cursed onesie in The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes is literally the plot of the entire game. It was a "gift" from The Lady, who despised Styla's fashion sense, and the Links must track her down to get her to remove the jumpsuit. |

Dune: The stillsuits worn by the Fremen on Arrakis are designed to be worn constantly to keep you alive in the deep desert. They are frequently mentioned as having a permeating stink, seeing that Fremen bather very infrequently, if at all. Stillsuits recycle more than just air and sweat — they recycle everything. Leto II has a variant in Children of Dune when he bonds to a suit of sandtrout (larval form of the mighty sandworms). By the next book, God-Emperor of Dune, he's been bonded to the suit for some 3,500 years and is more of a sandworm with a human face and what used to be a human mind. |

There are two occurrences of this in Mass Effect: The quarians have extremely weak immune systems, and their enviro-suits filter out pathogens and germs that could make them sick. Brief exposure to outside air can, at the very least, cause fever, coughing and congestion. Worse, it can cause delirium and death. The volus come from a Venus-like world, where both atmospheric pressure and surface gravity are higher than normal. As a result, whenever they enter the lower-pressure atmosphere that humans and other species live in, they have to wear pressure suits; otherwise, they'll suffocate and their bodies will actually split open. |

He gets them fused on in the non-canon Dark Side ending, but extra missions played after said ending — such as Tatooine and Hoth — have no more restriction to swapping skins than any other part of gameplay. | |

The artwork for Cecil's Dark Knight armor in Final Fantasy IV implies it to be this: the individual pieces are apparently tied directly onto his skin, much like a more disturbing version of shoelaces. In the DS remake, due to the graphical limitations, there's a scene early on in the game where Dark Knight Cecil goes to bed. But he keeps his armor on — mask and all! That couldn't be comfortable. Kain does the same when you visit Inns. The same was also true in previous iterations of the same game; not having sprites for characters with and without armor the characters merely climb into bed in full plate mail. | |

Barik in Tyranny had the bad luck of being caught up in a magical storm that fused his armor along with bits and pieces of the weapons and armor of the battlefield fallen to his body. While this gives him impressive defenses in-game, it's also an utter pain to live with. In the Bastard's Wound DLC, his personal quest gives you the chance to finally help him remove it at the cost of his commander Graven Ashe's life. | |

The Spectacular Spider-Man has the Rhino, Dr. Octopus (only when it comes to his mechanical arms), Venom, Molten Man, and even Spidey himself (when he has the symbiote). Most of the villains embrace the powers their costumes give them and don't care about their predicaments, but Molten Man is just a normal kid who is tortured by his unremovable armor, which can only be activated or deactivated by someone else. | |

ROM (IDW): Rom and the other Space Knights' armor is made of a shapeshifting alien metal that provides all sorts of benefits but also fuses to their skin and can never be removed once donned, which is the source of some angst for Rom. At the end of Rom vs. Transformers: Shining Armor, Stardrive's feat of tearing the armor off her body when she abandons the Space Knights is a therefore an unprecedented act, later attributed to her being a Mechanical Lifeform for whom the metal behaves differently — the same species as the metal's creator, in fact, though nobody knows this at the time. | |

The comic's Iron Man Captain Ersatz is supposedly a scientist who was seriously injured in a lab accident and depends on a suit that is combined Powered Armor and life-support. It is eventually revealed that he is actually a fully sentient robot created by the scientist, who was killed in the lab accident, and is passing as human to evade anti-AI bigotry. | |

At least in the first Digimon World, it is implied that Monzaemon are but Numemon that slide in a yellow bear costume and get stuck in there. The player per se can only make a Numemon evolve into a Monzaemon if the costume is in Toy Town, though. Actually, most puppet Digimon like \Ex\Tyrannomon and Pumpkinmon look like there's something living within the costume. Armor Digimon also seem to be unable to take out pieces of their armor without de-evolving, but certain fanfics disagree. Averted with Nohemon, who is actually controlled from the outside by a crow of all things. It's also played with Betsumon, whose existence depends on him cosplaying as other Digimon; Betsumon's costume qualifies as clingy in that he cannot take it off, but he can change its overall appearance. | |

Tech Jacket: Zack Thompson aka Tech Jacket. His suit of Adaptive Armor, from which he gets his name, is Imported Alien Phlebotinum from a frail-bodied race where everyone is equipped with a tech jacket at birth. As tech jackets are made with that race in mind, they're programmed to not let the wearer remove them. Zack only received his because its previous wearer was already dying, and so was able to make an emergency transfer to protect Zack from the explosion of its space ship. Fortunately, the tech jacket can retract into the form of a vest that fits under Zack's clothes, and it removes dirt and germs from his body for him, making it unnecessary to bathe. Also, he's been shown to be able to have sex while wearing it. | |

Spider-Man: There have been a number of villains with this trope, such as the Rhino, the Scorpion, Doctor Octopus (only when it comes to his mechanical arms), Venom, Carnage, and the Molten Man. The Symbiotes/Klyntar (which Venom and Carnage belong to) are a species of this. They're aliens that bond to a host and use them to feed in exchange for granting superpowers. They tend to be clingy and really hate being removed from said hosts — Venom is the current page image. The Venom symbiote became a villain because Peter rejected it when he found out it was alive — and, to be fair, after he nearly killed it and Eddie's hatred corrupted it. The Spider-Man movie video game hangs a lampshade on this. "Man, going to the bathroom must be a nightmare for you!" Scorpion eventually escapes this... just to receive the Venom symbiote. Rhino, too, eventually manages to get rid of the costume and goes straight... for a time. Spider-Gwen, after bonding with her universe's symbiote. |

Perry Rhodan: Alaska Saedelare got afflicted with a fragment of an alien life form stuck in his face as a result of a Teleporter Accident. Looking at it caused people to go mad — usually fatally so. So, Alska had to wear a mask over the fragment to not kill everyone he meets. When he gets rid of it centuries later (he had gotten used to living as normally as an undying man can), a representative of the Higher Powers "gifts" him a new one, as he is more the mask than the man beneath. | |

Appears in Episode 10 of Those Who Hunt Elves, with an elf knight who comes to the group and asks for help removing a cursed set of armour, complete with longswords stuck to her hands. They eventually find a way to remove the armour, but she's gotten so used to wearing it that she decides to put it back on anyway. | |

If you immediately asked how they go to the bathroom, the suit canonically includes "recyclers", which can recycle body waste into a nutrient rich form that is fed back into them intravenously or as an edible, bland paste. Yes, their armour turns their poop into food. Also, many Chaos Marines are also directly empowered by the Gods of the Warp. It wouldn't be unheard of for Khorne to empower a particularly dedicated murderous psychopath to feed off death, or to drink blood through their mouth grill (or have it turn into a fanged mouth) instead of eating food. | |

Occurs several times in Warhammer 40,000: Crippled or otherwise incapacitated superhuman Space Marines who have a noteworthy career have a chance to end up in the confines of a cybernetic sarcophagus. This sarcophagus, besides being a life support system able to sustain a Space Marine indefinitely, is specifically designed to function as the cockpit of the Dreadnought walker. The Space Marine within the sarcophagus will control the robotic body of the walker and experience the outside world through cybernetic neural links implanted within his life support system and sensors built into the Dreadnought. The downside of this arrangement: they're permanently stuck inside the Dreadnought until it's destroyed, often killing the pilot, and they sometimes undergo neurological decay, sometimes hallucinating about their setting or forgetfulness not unlike Alzheimer's. The Space Marines encased within Dreadnoughts are often thousands of Terran years old. For Space Marines being encased within a Dreadnought, and to be able to continue to battlefield service, is considered the highest honor for one who is otherwise permanently incapacitated by injury. For Chaos Space Marines, qualifications for being ensconced within a Dreadnought are similar, but it's seen as being a punishment for failure and personal defeat. They are forced to keep on living and fighting, though they can't enjoy the pleasure of battle and slaughter personally and have to do it through a numbed sensory apparatus from having to experience battle secondhand through the Dreadnought's sensors. This difference of perception very much comes from the two factions' different mindsets, and the fact that loyalist dreadnoughts are usually kept in hibernation between battles (for up to centuries at a time), so they don't experience the everyday problems of having weapons for arms, while Chaos dreadnoughts have their weapons removed and made to wait until they're deemed worthy of fighting again. Is it any wonder they have a special rule that makes them fire on their own side sometimes? The orks, who only care about war, will often pay the local Mekaniak (or "Mekboy") to have themselves sealed in a suit of mega armour. If that's not far enough, they can also be sealed inside a Deff Dread, a crude mini-mecha. They soon discover the main disadvantage to being sealed inside a can, which is... being sealed inside a can. In the Chaos factions, Obliterators and Mutilators have Fleshmetal Armor. The name should say it all. It comes from their bodies mutating and twisting under the power of Chaos so that their bodies and equipment warp and fuse, absorbing their weapons and armor. Their weapons replace their hands and their armor replaces their flesh. It's as painful as it sounds. The same goes for any Chaos Space Marine with the "Daemon" rule, as they invariably have melded with their armor (but for balance reasons most do not actually have Fleshmetal Armor). In times past, it was said that Khorne Berserkers' armour fused with their flesh, to the point that it would bleed when struck. It still provided protection from blows equivalent to the unmodified original suit though. If you immediately asked how they go to the bathroom, the suit canonically includes "recyclers", which can recycle body waste into a nutrient rich form that is fed back into them intravenously or as an edible, bland paste. Yes, their armour turns their poop into food. Also, many Chaos Marines are also directly empowered by the Gods of the Warp. It wouldn't be unheard of for Khorne to empower a particularly dedicated murderous psychopath to feed off death, or to drink blood through their mouth grill (or have it turn into a fanged mouth) instead of eating food. While this is largely part of abandoned lore, a few pieces of lore have picked it up again, and it expanded to more forces than just those of Khorne. |

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask: One of Link's important tools is the Deku Mask, which turns him into a tiny plant-like monster. Link is cursed with it by the Skull Kid at the start of game, but he is able to cure himself and others when he recovers the Ocarina of Time. Afterwards, Link can play a song that turns curses and restless spirits into masks that grant Link some new power. Ironically, Link is faster as a Deku, and needs the form's abilities to finish the game. Also, Majora's Mask itself is alive and sentient (and nearly omnipotent), and though the Skull Kid seems to be wearing it of his own free (or corrupted) will, when you play the Oath to Order, he seems to be trying to remove it, though he might just be clutching his head and struggling. The Mask can remove itself, though, when it no longer needs the Skull Kid. |

Warhammer: In at least the most recent editions, it's heavily implied that this is what happens to Chaos Warriors if they gain the 'gift' of Chaos Armor more than once, in which case there is a chance that the armor will permanently fuse with them. Malekith, Witch-King of the Dark Elves, has this going on too. Unable to deceive the Flames of Asuryan, Malekith was burned almost to a crisp when he tried to take the throne of Ulthuan. Crippled and unable to fight, he had the renegade sorcerer Hotek forge the Armor of Midnight and strapped himself into it fresh from the forge, fusing it to his body through a combination of flesh-searing heat and magic. |

In the Great Ship series, the Remoras — a subspecies of humanity who live on the exterior hull of the Great Ship — are permanently sealed in their spacesuits; it is a Uterine Replicator when they are conceived, and is grown and added onto as they age. To ask a Remora to take off their suit is both a fundamental offense and outright impossible without a fusion torch. | |

Doctor Who: The Daleks live inside their battle armor, which doubles as life support and transportation. Outside the shell, they're soft, octopus-like things with exposed brains and feebly wriggling tentacles. Likewise, conversion into a Cyberman is permanent; especially so for the Cybus Cybermen, as they're just human brains in robotic shells. |

Alcatraz in Crysis 2, although it's more because he was a corpse when Prophet found him and stuck him in the Nanosuit, it's the only thing keeping him alive. It's not even up to him now, as the Nanosuit is semi-sentient and was so badly traumatized by its previous user's death that it refuses to be separated from Alcatraz because doing so would kill him too. By the time Crysis 3 rolls around, Alcatraz has finally expired and the Nanosuit is now essentially Animated Armor being operated by a digital backup of Prophet's mind. In this case, Prophet cannot take off the suit because he literally is the suit now — but he can command the suit's nanites to reconstruct the suit into a visually near-identical copy of his original human body without affecting any of its internal functionality. | |

Kill la Kill: Goku Uniforms are crafted from Life Fibers that give the wearers special powers. When Ryuko encounters Kamui Senketsu, he forces her to wear him and she can't seem to take him off until later. Satsuki wears Junketsu later and her determination allows her to control him. The "clingyness" part can be justified as tiny needles stick to their bodies, drinking their blood to activate. When Junketsu is forcefully put on Ryuko near the end of the series it is literally sewn to her. It takes a huge amount of effort, and her nearly dying, to get the Junketsu off of her. | |

Soul Series: Before the events of Soulcalibur IV, Siegfried is left mortally wounded after he and Nightmare clashed with the newly restored Soul Calibur and Soul Edge, respectively, a clash that created so much energy that it created a myriad of effects across the world. Soul Calibur is able to save Siegfried's life by transforming his armor into a crystalline suit, but because it's the main thing keeping him alive, he can't take it off. By Soulcalibur V, he no longer needs the crystalline armor to sustain himself, since Soul Calibur left a fragment of itself inside his body to sustain him. | |

Empowered: Emp's costume has an inversion of this. It does fit much like a second skin. She even has to shave her pubic region or she gets what's often referred to as steel wool. However, the costume tears really easily. The more insecure the more easily it tears. Given her powers come from how intact the costume is, she's made more insecure the weaker she gets, leading to her being practically naked quite often. | |

The StarCraft II trailer shows how a Space Marine is made, including getting permanently sealed into his armor. In this particular instance it's because Tychus Findlay is indeed sealed in it thanks to Arcturus Mengsk. This isn't always the case, since they've shown characters who put it on and take it off (Raynor, for one). Moreover, while they have cybernetics there's no way to use the bathroom in one of those things. Many human infantry are criminals working off their sentence in a sort of a mobile prison. Presumably, the suit is unsealed at the end of their "tour of duty". The career of a typical unsealed Terran Marine will typically mean getting ripped apart/severed by claws/fangs/energy blasts/psi blades/plasma blasts/explosions or just plain lead poisoning, so it's actually doing them a favor — though that's a frequent fate for the sealed ones anyway. | |

George of the Jungle: Super Chicken and sidekick Fred infiltrate the crooked Easter Bunny's lair disguised as giant Easter eggs. After they're subjected to a hot dye bath, Fred can't get his egg costume off, and remains in it into the fade out. Obviously played less seriously than most entries here. | |

The Transformers (Marvel): Josie Beller was almost completely paralyzed in a Decepticon attack. She built herself a full-body exosuit that restored her mobility and gave her super powers, then called herself Circuit Breaker and started a vendetta against all Transformers. Which didn't keep it from being tin-foil covered TnA◊. | |

The heroine of the Metroid franchise, Samus Aran, can normally get out of her Power Suit at will. In Metroid Fusion, it is revealed that her Power Suit cannot be removed without Samus's active participation; when she is infected by the X Parasites and slips into a coma, the medics working on her are forced to surgically remove the corrupted portions of her Suit. | |

The Smurfs (1981): Smurfette's dancing shoes in the titular episode cannot come off her feet, requiring Papa Smurf to use a magic spell to transfer them to the evil imp's feet. In "Hats Off to Smurfs", Vanity's new yellow hat becomes this after his face starts becoming disfigured from soaking it in water. Since the hat was made from magic fabric created by Gargamel, the Smurfs make a similar hat for the evil wizard to wear while soaked in water in order to force him to come up with the antidote. |

In A.I.C.O. Incarnation, Divers wear artificial organism suits to protect themselves from the Matter. Since Aiko's body is made almost entirely of artificial organisms, the suit clings to her when she puts it on. | |

Pokémon: The Original Series: In the episode "Mystery at the Lighthouse", Ash, Misty and Brock come across Bill, a Pokémon Watcher who is stuck inside a Kabuto suit (as opposed to having actually turned himself into a Pokémon like in the game this season was based on) since he can't reach the button that opens the costume. Ash helps him out. | |

In City of Heroes, there's Positron — when the game was first released, he was stuck in his antimatter-driven Powered Armor suit. He got better, but at the time, if his suit even caught a leak, he would have exploded with enough force to erase a metropolis from the map. In one comic, the Batman-Ersatz Manticore actually manages to bluff several supervillains into fleeing by threatening to put one of his armor-piercing arrows through Positron's suit. It's revealed in the 'Origins of Power' story arc that his superpower is that his body produces antimatter, which his suit collects and uses for power. When he was injured in the Rikti War prior to the release of the game, he lost control of that ability and was continually producing antimatter, forcing him to remain enclosed in the suit. When he was regenerated after being defeated fighting the Honoree, the process restored his control over his ability. | |

In Infernum, this is one way to look at the "Chain of Living Armor", which increases the natural armor of the demon greatly. It's more an aversion of the trope, however, as one branch lets the character absorb it back into their flesh to move more easily/disguise they have it, and a player can flavor it any way from armor fused to their flesh to a demonic exo-skeleton to transmutation into living stone to a preternaturally tough, inflexible skin. | |

In Cinderjuice, the shoes loaned to Beetlejuice by the Fairy Godfather will not come off until the terms of the Magically-Binding Contract have been fulfilled. This creates a problem when he is unable, for reasons beyond his understanding, to do what's been asked of him. | |

Captain America: Nazi scum Baron Zemo (the original) tried to attack the Allies with his dreaded Adhesive X, but Captain America foiled his plan and caused his pink mask to be permanently glued to his face. Zemo could talk and breathe but needed to feed through an IV. He survived for decades in South America with the mask on his face (imagine the smell!) | |
