In some Action Games, when you kill enemies, they release magical spheres or glowey energy of some sort that affect your character's status in various ways when you collect them — they may give Experience Points, health, or Mana refills, and so on. Whatever exactly these things are is rarely addressed; sometimes they're explained as the opponent's soul or blood or a more vague "essence". The exact number, types and effects of these things will vary with each game, and may or may not also be found stored in inanimate objects. May be a Random Drop. See also Money Spider and Organ Drops. Compare Liquid Assets. |

Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Soki from Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams assumes his Black Oni form for his Level 3. During this time, his partner is unavailable and his hyper meter begins to dwindle. Attacking his opponent will cause multicolored soul orbs to pop out, which Soki needs to collect using the Partner button. The blue and yellow orbs respectively restore Soki's hyper meter and health, but the red orbs are the most important, as collecting seven or more of those orbs gives Soki access to his strongest Hyper, Oni Cutter. | |

Sonic Unleashed: In the night stages, any defeated enemies give out pale bluish floating bits of light. Sonic can collect these to fill up his Unleashed gauge, which when activated by the player, temporarily gives Sonic increased attack power and invincibility to some things. In the Wii and PlayStation 2 versions, enemies also give out red floating bits of light which represents experience points. | |

Odin Sphere: Enemies release floating "Phozons" when defeated, which are said to be the remnants of their life force. It is used mainly to level-grind your weapons. Unusually, the constant absorption of phozons after every battle becomes plot-critical in the good ending: after the Big Bad has used the Cauldron to drain all phozon energy in order to kill the planet, Velvet hits on the idea of breaking down the psypher weapons used by herself and three of the other protagonists, releasing all of their absorbed phozons back into the world to restore life to it. | |

I Woke Up As a Dungeon, Now What? has "impurities", which dungeons get from absorbing the corpses of humans or of any animal more complex than a bug. Animal corpses usually give only one or a fraction of an impurity, while human ashes can give between two and four impurities and fresh corpses may give even more. What precisely impurities are has yet to be explained, but the planet apparently considers them "icky" and dungeons consume them to unlock more powerful minions and other upgrades. | |

Heroes of the Storm: Each minion wave has a single Wizard as part of it, between the melee fighter and ranged archer minions. Killing it drops a Regen Globe, which restores a little bit of health and mana over time. Regen globes also spawn when capturing most objectives and appear naturally in generators on Braxis Holdout. Some heroes turn every minion (or enemy in general) into this. Diablo collects souls that raise his max health. Dehaka collects literal essence, which he stores and can consume at any time to recover health. The Butcher gets fresh meat that raises his attack damage (although he can only get the first 200 from minions, after which point he only collects from slain heroes). Gazlowe is an interesting one, since he collects scrap from destroyed buildings and his own turrets, restoring a portion of his mana. A talent turns it into a random drop from minions as well. |

Path of Exile has Essences that are dropped from crystalized monsters that house it. They can be used on the items to roll new modifiers while guaranteeing a specified mod on it. You can use an Essence of Corruption on an Essence-holding monster for a chance to upgrade or add extra Essences, but there's a chance it will do nothing and break free instantly. | |

Demon's Souls and Dark Souls do this with apparently dismantled pieces of souls being currency, whole souls of very strong enemies being used for various purposes (or broken apart for more regular souls), and in the latter game you can occasionally find piece of "humanity" that let you regain human form.

Otto Matic has virtually everything you kill drop "atoms" in different colors... red restores health, green powers your "jump jet" and blue is "rocket fuel" needed to finish the level. Somewhat more ickily, there are Slimes on planet Snoth that you can freeze with an Freeze Gun and then shatter by punching them. For a while thereafter they become a mass of little balls that you can pick up to gain one of the things mentioned above, depending on the color of the Slime. Of course, if you don't pick up all of them, any that remain turn into more Slimes. |

Ninja Gaiden: In the modern games, dead enemies drop yellow orbs (currency), blue orbs (health) and red orbs (Ninpo gauge). Also, instead of using them to heal, you can absorb them to charge an ultimate technique instantly; that's actually a vital skill when facing multiple enemies in 2. Ninja Gaiden 3 abandons this system completely for the sake of a greater immersion. | |

Onimusha subverts this system: enemies drop soul spheres, but you have to stop and attract them to you manually, which takes a bit of time and is very risky in the middle of a fight (the bigger the spheres are, the longer it takes). The game also adds a fourth type of (very rare) sphere, and collecting five of these allows you to transform into an Onimusha. Furthermore, killing enemies with Issen attacks will reward you with much more souls. You can also find or equip items that affect the soul types and number. Tenkai from the fourth game can also detonates said souls instead of absorbing them. | |

Minecraft uses a combination of this and Organ Drops. In addition to their assorted body parts, slain enemies drop flashing green-and-yellow experience orbs upon death. These orbs also appear when you breed animals and collect ores (either mining or smelting, depending on the type), and are spent to enchant items. | |

Spyro the Dragon: At first, enemies drop Gems. However, if you replay a level, they'll drop silver orbs that you can collect to get yourself a one-up (a silver dragon statue). Also Sparx, when he burns edibles, will get essences to pick up. | |

Final Fantasy Tactics have characters that are not revived in 3 turns become Killed Off for Real. When someone dies, their body and soul become crystals (human enemies may drop some of their gear instead of becoming a crystal). Anyone that picks up a crystal can either inherit abilities (if the unit was human) or have their HP and MP restored. | |

Diablo III features this: Dead enemies occasionally drop "life orbs", which allow to regain some health. This is meant to do away with previous installments' (and much of the genre's in general) need to constantly swig health potions, making said potions more of an emergency healing option (which now have a cooldown attached). | |

Metroid: Metroid Fusion: Slain enemies turn back into X Parasites. Since Samus is part Metroid in this game, she can feed on X Parasites the way Metroids can. Yellow X are energy, green X are ammo, red restores both, so on. Boss level X Parasites also restore back one of Samus' weapons or abilities. Metroid Prime Hand Waves the health/ammo drops as being the Life Energy of defeated enemies mingling with the energy of Samus's attacks and crystallising. |
