Stalactite Spite	comment	It's been well established that video game protagonists just can't catch a break, and that even the most mundane of objects seem to have it out for them. One common manifestation of this is that certain inanimate objects will hang ever so precariously from the ceiling — but will wait patiently to actually fall until the moment the player walks under them. As if that wasn't enough, these objects can typically distinguish between friend and foe — most mooks and NPCs can stand beneath them with total impunity. Once the player triggers them to fall, however, these hazards can sometimes still interact with the environment by taking out enemies or destroying other objects in their path, which can make for some quite interesting puzzles. If they don't just vanish and respawn endlessly after falling, they may even get stuck in the ground and become platforms you can stand on. The actual object that falls can vary, as this type of hazard can be adapted to suit just about any setting. The most common offenders include actual stalactites in Underground Levels or icicles in a Slippy-Slidey Ice World, but with a little creativity, you can find variants just about anywhere: falling coconuts in a Palmtree Panic level, falling boulders on Death Mountain, falling chandeliers in the haunted mansion, or more inventive varieties still. Or if all else fails, you can never go wrong with some good old Spikes of Doom from above. A subtrope of Malevolent Architecture and part of Everything Trying to Kill You. Note that this trope doesn't include non-inanimate enemies (like Thwomp in Super Mario Bros. series) with that kind of behavior, nor does it include Death Traps which look like they're deliberately made to do their thing. See also Collapsing Ceiling Boss, where a boss attacks by causing things to drop from the ceiling. For Stalagmite Spite — things that come from below instead of falling — see Spikes of Doom. For liquid obstacles that (usually) drop down from the ceiling and are timing-based, see Deadly Droplets.

Stalactite Spite / int_1fe8c3be	comment	Etrian Odyssey V: Beyond the Myth: Prior to its boss battle, the Crystal Dragon (which is the boss of the prism-themed Lucent Hollows) will invoke this trope as an attack to prevent the character party from approaching it. Once the player enters its wide territory, it will use its crystal wings to shoot large crystal shards upward so these fall down onto the party, harming them as well as knocking them back. The usual strategy is to not run straight onto it so the falling crystals don't fall over them, but there's a clever trick that allows the party to use the fallen crystals as teleporters to approach the boss quickly. It's even possible to approach the dragon from behind this way, initiating the battle with a preemptive strike.
