A Live Item is a collectible in a video game that's also its own character. More often than not they're just standing around waiting for the player character to find them, raising the question of why they don't move around on their own or get themselves out of danger without having to rely on the player (the answer is, of course, "because otherwise there'd be no game", but no-one likes a smartass). This may lead to Gotta Rescue Them All. Compare Escort Mission when they aren't "items", but entities that have to be guarded by you to move to a place. See also Equippable Ally and Animate Inanimate Object plus its various subtropes, especially Living Weapon. Not to be confused with an item that gives you extra lives or maximum lives. |

The Exit Mouse, who functions very much like Ooccoo from the Twilight Princess example above. When you use him, he will lead you out of the dungeon instantly. His own mother tells you to treat him like one of your items. | |

Awful Hospital: The Baby Kidney Stone and Evil Colorectal Polyp are happy to rest in Fern's Hyperspace Arsenal but are characters in their own right, with the Polyp chatting to Fern from her inventory and even stepping out to flirt with people. "Live" is a broader and more nuanced category in the Perception Range than Fern quite understands: | |

The series presents an interesting example, since every item you ever collect sprouts eyes and talks to you at some point. The most literal case is the Jinjos. They're weird little reptile-bird looking things who live in adorable little houses similar to The Smurfs. In the first game, they're mentioned in the manual to have been cursed by Gruntilda, and are thus unable to move from their spot until rescued by Banjo. In the sequel, however, they're just "scared", but short of that there's no reason why they can't just fly home. | |

Nethergate features "Sylak's Talking Skull," which appears to be a Shout-Out to the above-mentioned Murray. Whenever a certain amount of time passes in-game it'll speak to you, usually to say something useless, often to say something useless and insulting, and every so often to give you a valuable tip. | |

Star Fox Adventures has several of these: There's a species of blue fungus that sleep at night, but hop around during the day, trying to get away from you if you try to pick them off the ground. To collect them, you have to smack them with Krystal's staff first. It's interesting to note that Rare had always wanted to feature "hard-to-collect collectibles" in their games, and the Jinjos originally meant to be like this in Banjo-Kazooie, but the idea didn't see the light of day until this very game. There are also the Bafomdads, little four-eared rabbits that are found all over the place and serve the same function as Zelda's fairies and are found and collected like the fungus. Except they don't run from the player and you don't have to beat them into submission (instead you have to dig most of them out). The FireFlies, which are green luminiscent insects used to light up dark areas, move around until Fox collects them. |

EarthBound (1994): The Exit Mouse, who functions very much like Ooccoo from the Twilight Princess example above. When you use him, he will lead you out of the dungeon instantly. His own mother tells you to treat him like one of your items. In this game (and its sequel, Mother 3), if you carry a Fresh Egg with you for too long, it will hatch into a rather noisy Chick and then become a Chicken. You can actually sell the chicken for a tidy sum, making them good Shop Fodder. The Rope Snake in Mother 3. He starts out as a little more then an improvised grappling hook, but suddenly starts talking at the end of chapter 5 to point out that he doesn't have the strength to support three humans and a dog for a prolonged time. He later develops into a minor character, demonstrating his lack of self-esteem by repeatedly deprecating himself about his failure to perform his job. He also makes a cameo in Super Smash Bros., where Lucas uses him for grabbing ledges and opponents. |

Toad becomes one of these in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, where he must occasionally be carried to the end of specific stages. If you get him there unharmed, you're rewarded with three extra lives and the appearance of either a green mushroom house, red mushroom house, or star house, depending on the time you made. If Toad gets hurt, you just get one life. If Toad is knocked out, you don't get anything. | |

He starts out as a little more then an improvised grappling hook, but suddenly starts talking at the end of chapter 5 to point out that he doesn't have the strength to support three humans and a dog for a prolonged time. He later develops into a minor character, demonstrating his lack of self-esteem by repeatedly deprecating himself about his failure to perform his job. He also makes a cameo in Super Smash Bros., where Lucas uses him for grabbing ledges and opponents. | |

In every level of the Toy Story 2 video game, you have collect five of something to get a Pizza Planet token. These items were typically living things like Bo Peep's sheep, wind-up mice, the green aliens, and the green army men. | |

King's Quest VI has a character/item called a Dangling Participle. It's sort of a lizard/rodent combination that's the size of a dog. And yet you can carry it inside your shirt with no visible lumps. There's also the Rotten Tomato, as well as the Hole-in-the-Wall, which has eyes and tiny arms and legs. | |

Mega Man Zero: The series has the Cyber-Elves. They look like fairies and give you various power-ups — but they explicitly die when you use them in this way, and the game punishes you for it by docking points from your mission scores. The third game introduced "Satellite" Elves, which are safe to use and work more like Equippable Allies. | |

Mega Man X5, 6 and 7 have these in the form of Reploids. You're supposed to be "rescuing" them, but effectively, they're items. You touch them and they teleport away, and you get a 1-up, and in some cases equipment as well. They apparently can't move an inch until you touch them, even if they're in mid-air. It's also possible for them to get killed, causing any equipment they had to be lost for the rest of the game. The implication seems to be that they're injured, so they need your help. | |

60 Seconds! and its sequel 60 Parsecs! both start with the player character running around a doomed location gathering as many resources as possible within a time limit. This includes the other members of your family and your fellow crewmates, respectively, who won't lift a finger to help you in your endeavors; leaving them all behind to collect other resources isn't an option, either, since you'll Go Mad from the Isolation. | |

Sonic the Hedgehog features the tiny animals, adorable little woodland creatures that are being used as batteries to power Dr. Eggman / Robotnik's robots. Notable for averting the "why don't they just get out on their own?" question, but also for always being much smaller than our 3-4ft tall hero, even animals that would be enormously bigger in real life, such as elephants and gorillas. | |

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past: Starting from this game, fairies can be kept in empty bottles; you can either use them directly to recover some energy, or wait until your HP is depleted so tbe fairy revives Link automatically. Occasionally, you can find and capture bees too, which are useful to defeat enemies (but unless it's a Golden Bee, it will flee after all enemies are dispatched). Lastly, after you beat Turtle Rock, you can see Zelda in your inventory screen in a crystal. | |

Monkey Island: The Curse of Monkey Island: Murray, a talking demon skull, constantly complains about being in your inventory. You can get some lice and worms, as well as a jar of glowworms. In Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge, one of the items you need is a dog; not just any dog though, a Bloodhound. When you pick up the dog Guybrush stuff the dog in his pants and grins at the camera. You also get to put a monkey in your inventory at a later point in the game. Escape from Monkey Island has the duck and the termites on Plunder Island. Tales of Monkey Island has Murray as an item yet again in the third chapter (if you mouse over him, he'll snark at you), and in the fifth chapter Guybrush picks up another dog which he names Franklin. |

In LISA the Painful: Right near the building where the Men's Hair Club are hanging out, you can find a hen named Goldie and stash her in your inventory. She can either be returned to her owner Rooster or you can hold her hostage in order to recruit Rooster as a party member. You can find a man named Toby in the Devil's Bathhouse, and he will be added to your inventory. Similar to Rooster, you can return him to his boyfriend Crisp or hold him hostage in exchange for Crisp joining the party. ...Or you could Take a Third Option and sell him for a hefty chunk of mags. |

Baldur's Gate: In the first two games, the character of Minsc is always equipped with Boo, a miniature giant space hamster. This creature takes up one of Minsc's quick item slots, and plays a large role in most of Minsc's hilarious attitude. The first game also includes a quest where you carry a mage's apprentice, who has been turned into a chicken, in your inventory until you can return him to his master for de-chickenization. Mages and sorcerers can also get familiars, which are usually kept in your pack. They can be let out to fight alongside you, but since the have very little health, can't be resurrected, and permanently lower your health if they die, it's generally best to keep them tucked away. |

Kingdom of Loathing Turtle Tamers have the power to find and "tame" turtles. When they aren't Familiars, they're this trope. Some act as "potions" that give buffs for a certain number of Adventures (turns, basically), some can be used in combat, some can even be worn as equipment. For example, the padded tortoise can be worn as a shield, and the soft fake leather and foam padding lets you relax and regenerate HP between fights, while the giraffe-necked turtle boosts your combat initiative for 15 Adventures by acting as a lookout. The Repair the Elves' Shield Generator has you equip a "spooky little girl" in order to find an important laboratory. She provides a small boost to item drops, presumably as compensation for basically having to do an Escort Mission. |
