Stronger with Age	comment	Everyone knows a child is more durable than a newborn, and that an adult is tougher than a kid. However, for humans, it has proven to be more of a case of Zigzagged Trope. As while we all might get Older and Wiser, and we all obtain more developed bodies, from the point middle age onwards many will begin to experience physical deterioration, though there are different exceptions out there where that burden can be lessened, either subtly or significantly, by a variety of reasons. Some creatures however... just don't. They never grow decrepit. Conditions such as Arthritis don't settle in. They keep growing stronger, faster and more resilient with each passing year, and in some cases they keep growing bigger as well. They're not simply more powerful due to having more experience: they are literally tougher than any younger specimen of the same breed. Vampires, dragons, and wizards are three of the most common beings to exhibit this, with ancient dragons and elder vampires possessing terrible power, and older wizards invariably commanding greater arcane might than their younger fellows — especially when Wizards Live Longer. This can cause a bit of Fridge Logic if the creature is stated not to be immortal: if dragons become more resilient as they age, then just how do they die of old age? The answer could be the Square-Cube Law — except when they don't die of old age at all. A subtrope of Older Is Better. See also Monster Lords, who are often older members of their species, and contrast Evil Makes You Monstrous (for the latter, they get eviler with age and thus get uglier and stronger). For the human equivalent, see the Old Master, Old Soldier, and Sickly Child Grew Up Strong. Often overlaps with the Monster Progenitor and Mother of a Thousand Young, who are the first in a line of monsters and are thus the strongest of their kind. See also Gigantic Adults, Tiny Babies, If these creatures need to be stopped before they get too old, it is probably a Snowballing Threat. May result in a Years Too Early insult by one to a younger one. Not to be confused with what happens to certain cheeses, wines, and socks.

The Darkspawn also demonstrate the same is true of them, with a mini-boss Hurlock Vanguard in the Deep Roads called "Ancient Darkspawn." In Dragon Age II Legacy, there's Corypheus, the most ancient Darkspawn (or at least, one out of half a dozen of them). The same could be said of the Grey Wardens, due to the Darkspawn Taint within them getting stronger over time (at least they seem to understand the Darkspawn better). However after 30 years, they gradually start to go insane as the Taint turns them into Ghouls.

The infected in this game are, well, infected, so most of them don't live for very long before dying and become spore fountains. For the handful that do survive in the long-run, though, they become more dangerous with age. Newly-turned Runners aren't able to do all that much damage, and neither are Stalkers, although they're more stealthy. After a few months to a few years, though, the infected become Clickers, who can easily one-hit the player. The oldest infected, probably from the initial outbreak twenty years ago, grow to be Bloaters.

Stronger with Age / int_2b70efd4	comment	Vampires in the Old World of Darkness game Vampire: The Masquerade are stronger with age in two ways: experience and Generation. Older vampires are more experienced (obviously), have more and stronger Disciplines than neonates, and have influence over vampiric and human society. A vampire of lower Generation is closer to the blood of Caine than a 13th-Generation neonate (the game's "default" new player characters), increasing their stat caps and allowing them to spend more Vitae faster. And going even further, it starts getting scarier: There are sleeping vampires that were embraced before the Great Flood. They're strong enough that, when one of them woke up, large-scale orbital weaponry was needed to put it back down. However, at the same time, neonates of higher generations can gain more power through committing diablerie on a lower-generation vampire, seen as a cardinal sin among the Kindred unless on a blood hunt, which will allow them to go up a generation.

Stronger with Age / int_313bbd31	comment	The Night Huntress novels have a variation on this: age brings power, but how much depends upon the vampire. Some take centuries to become masters, while others reach that level in a few decades. When Cat first fights Ian and learns that he's around 200, she comments "You're strong, then. I've met 700-year-olds who don't hit as hard as you do." One vampire says that he'll never be a master, suggesting that some unlucky ones might have a ceiling on their potential power, or his power just grows so slowly that the day he reaches master status is so far off, it might as well be "never".

It's heavily implied that he's holding back on the whole cast (which is later proven true in Xrd -REVELATOR- with his grudge match against Bedman, where he can level mountains with a flick of his fingers after tapping back into his full power); even if you utterly destroy him in a fight, he'll just lie on the floor with his head in his hand, casually chilling out. Jam Kuradoberi, who is told after fighting Slayer that, given enough time, she'll end up surpassing him. Series protagonist and namesake Sol Badguy has an immortal Gear body that evolves with time, to the point that his Dragon Install is "encroaching" and the Power Limiter he uses to maintain his human form is starting to malfunction by the events of Overture. In Xrd, the aforementioned Slayer notes that a serious battle between them would require an incredibly wide area, presumably to prevent any unnecessary casualties and collateral damage.

Although intially reckless, mindless and capable of being fought by trainee Huntsmen, the Grimm are capable of living for hundreds of years; as time goes by, they adapt based upon their experiences, becoming bigger, stronger and smarter. As they learn, they shed the recklessness and become patient, willing to wait years if they have to for the right moment to strike. A Nevermore might look almost indistinguishable from an ordinary raven to begin with, but over the centuries can become truly monstrous in size, strength and threat level. They're controlled by an Ancient Evil known as Salem. Although she has the black and white colour scheme of the Grimm, complete with glowing red eyes, she seems otherwise human. She's spent thousands of years engaged in a Secret War with her Arch-Enemy, attempting to destroy humanity because Ozpin has faith in humanity's potential; as he is cursed to never die while Salem lives, she instead intends to destroy everything he holds dear.

The undead grow stronger the older the remains that went into their reanimation are. This culminates with Harry reanimating a Tyrannosaurus' skeleton. A Curb-Stomp Battle ensued.note 'Normal' zombies use corpses that usually are no more than 2-300 years old; they get compared to Terminators. Sue (the T. rex), is over 65 million years old, and was able to shield a character from enough dark energy to create a physical god, mearly by existing. Black Court Vampires. On the one hand, it is noted that since Mavra is such an old vampire she is likely to be mobile and capable of defending herself during the day where younger vamps would be forced to sleep. But then they toy with it by pointing out that the reason Black Court vamps in general are such major badass types is because of basic survival of the fittest since Dracula was published. To get to be that old, they must have been Badass to begin with, or they'd have been killed (again) years ago. This principle seems to most supernatural creatures, as anything that lives long enough to be ancient has to be a certified badass in order to have lived that long. Wizards also follow this rule â€” while part of it is that they learn how to more effectively use their power, even an increase of skill can't account for ALL of the tricks that more powerful wizards can pull off. Even WITHOUT the various external power boosts he gets, Harry has gained a noticeably greater degree of power over just the decade that the stories take place over; and significantly older wizards on the Council are capable of tricks Harry didn't even know were possible like dropping satellites from space with pinpoint accuracy and turning into a half-dozen animals in a bout with an Eldritch Abomination. This is aided by a wizard's slow aging and ability to eventually regenerate from even serious maiming without a build-up of scar tissue. Also, wizards' minds are subject to this. The older they get, the more resistant their mind is to any type of mind control or persuasion. This little fact is used to great effect in one of the novels.

One of the oldest species, Leviathans, trump almost everything in their strength and dexterity, and the mother of all monsters, Eve, has the ability to rob an angel of its power. Also, the angels have a very specific ranking in terms of power, with the oldest, Michael, being the strongest. Finally, the handful of Time Abyss entities that are older than the universe itself are virtually omnipotent.

Stronger with Age / int_468bebb0	comment	Discworld: The Light Fantastic Trolls are theoretically immortal, but as they get older they get bigger and slower and tend to be more inclined to sit and think. They call this "getting philosophy". Eventually they just stop moving altogether, gradually "decomposing" or eroding into an oddly shaped heap of minerals with a tiny living spark in the center. Many of the Discworld's mountains are actually very old trolls. Shown to be true when a troll warns a character about his grandfather, who is one of the mountains and is very annoyed when some adventurers light a campfire in his mouth. Interesting Times: Something like this is speculated to have happened with Cohen the Barbarian. As he got older, he just got tougher.

Stronger with Age / int_49a88442	comment	Dragons in Final Fantasy XIV are shown to be not only really freaking old (some living for hundreds of years and a few even reaching a thousand or so), but they get bigger and stronger as they get older. Dragons, especially the older ones, can also recover from nearly any wound and injury by simply just sleeping it off. Far longer than that, especially for the First Brood. The Dragonsong War has been raging for a thousand years by the time of Heavensward, but for Nidhogg, it may as well have started yesterday. And Tiamat has been imprisoned on Azys Lla since the Third Astral Era, more than 5000 years ago. Midgardsormr, progenitor of all dragons, is on speaking terms with Hydaelyn to the point of gainsaying her decisions. Ten years ago, he single-handedly brought down the Garleans' colossal flagship Agrius and treats being reduced to a charred husk by its explosion like a chance to take a nap. His injuries haven't even weakened him, as the player finds out. In prehistory, he fought the planet-scouring alien superweapon Omega to a draw.

Stronger with Age / int_4bfae3e9	comment	The Light Fantastic Trolls are theoretically immortal, but as they get older they get bigger and slower and tend to be more inclined to sit and think. They call this "getting philosophy". Eventually they just stop moving altogether, gradually "decomposing" or eroding into an oddly shaped heap of minerals with a tiny living spark in the center. Many of the Discworld's mountains are actually very old trolls. Shown to be true when a troll warns a character about his grandfather, who is one of the mountains and is very annoyed when some adventurers light a campfire in his mouth.

The highest levels of power are only available to Exalted who are more than a thousand years old. Due to the Great Curse, this also means that the ones with access to the high Essence charms are also the most likely to be utterly insane, driven mad by the Curse, and rather prone to even greater acts of madness while in Limit Break.

Lizard Folk tend towards this too; like other reptiles, they grow continuously as they age, and magic-users capable of proofing themselves against physical mortality can grow to be the size of giants. Sphinxes who live particularly long will likewise mature into elder sphinxes, colossal beings of immense magical power.

Stronger with Age / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons has this happen to many creatures. Dragons traditionally come with twelve age categories, starting as an awkward wyrmling until, thousands of years later, they have grown into a great wyrm. Every time a dragon advances to a new stage of its lifespan, its physical might, mental acuity, and magical power only grow more potent — the page image depicts some of a red dragon's growth stages, the largest being "ancient," meaning it still has two stages to go. According to the 3rd edition Draconomicon sourcebook, dragons finally stop growing at the "great wyrm" stage, but remain in their prime for centuries after that. Eventually, however, the weight of the millennia comes crashing down upon a dragon, leading to a relatively sudden and irreversible decline. Upon the onset of "twilight," most dragons choose to depart the mortal world with dignity, ritualistically consuming their hoards and leaving for one of their kind's secluded graveyards, where they can will themselves to die, or they can choose to merge with the landscape and become a spiritual guardian to watch over dragon nests and commune with wyrmlings. Other dragons instead choose to become Dracoliches, or take up the Dragon Ascendant Prestige Class to become ageless quasi-deities. And some decide to go on kingdom-destroying rampages until a group of heroes rises up to face them in an epic final battle Liches who feel like they've reached the limit of what they can learn on their world of origin may become Demiliches, who use Astral Projection to study other planes of existence to improve their already formidable arcane powers. This causes their physical forms to deteriorate until only a skull or skeletal hand remains, but Demiliches are no less dangerous for that. The Ravenloft setting is especially keen on doing this with The Undead.

Coraline also somehow survived being trapped in a burning building and could move with a stake in her chest, which is normally impossible. By contrast, the 700-year-old Lola was pretty handily defeated by Mick, despite being able to move much faster than him, and one of her past careers was a Pirate Girl. Lance and Coraline are able to survive fire because access to a temporary cure to vampirism, that was used during the French Revolution. Many of the French Royalty and Aristocratic class were vampires. The Revolutionaries would test them with fire and if their fingers turned to ash, they would be beheaded. The cure made from an now extinct plant, allowed the vampires to mimic humans including burning without turning to ash.

There's a catch, though: the thin magic of the human plane (especially now, when it's just coming out of a long "magical drought") simply can't support an elder dragon, so the most theoretically powerful dragons are severely weakened by that. Four thousand year old Amelia got around that problem by spending most of her time on other planes with stronger magic; the Three Sisters, all over ten thousand years old, were simply driven into hibernation.

The Eldest in that series, Shikrar, is over eighteen hundred years old and the largest of them, as well as a good fighter and the best flyer — though that last can't be attributed to his age, he became the best flyer and held on to that distinction from a much younger age. On their own Kantri reach about two thousand years before they die, which isn't discussed but it seems to happen fast. It's also noted that some grow "old before their time" and start to mentally slip; Shikrar suspects that another Kantri is one of these and guiltily wonders if he'll die in his sleep well before the two thousand mark, as these often do.

While Old Ones still can be killed as easily as any other Vampire, they have a lot more "tricks" under their belt, with some such as Wyndham being able to casually enter without an invitation, something that would cause most Vampires to instantly begin to boil alive. Some physiological changes seem to occur with age as well. Mr Snow, the leader of the Old Ones, has developed a sickly pallor, rotting teeth and protruding black veins due to his advanced age, and had Super-Strength far beyond that of younger Vampires and Werewolves, being able to tear a man's inner organs out with his bare hands. Ghosts are also stated to get stronger with age. Most however fail to get that far due to losing their connection to the mortal world, leading them to simply fade away into non-existence. Werewolves age normally, but they get stronger every time they turn. A werewolf who has been changing for years will be able (when transformed) to kill vampires with his bare hands.

The previous most-powerful Quirk, All for One, is also revealed to get stronger with age due to its ability to keep stealing stronger Quirks of later generations of wielders.

Stronger with Age / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls: While there are some regional variations in exactly their powers work, vampires tend to play this straight. Throughout the series, vampires tend to be The Ageless (though if they go long periods without feeding, they tend to be come irrevocably insane and feral). Vampire "Ancients" are the oldest and strongest vampires in Tamriel. Skyrim's Dawnguard DLC introduces Vampire Lords, Tamriel's oldest vampires who received their vampirism directly from the Daedric Prince Molag Bal, the patron of vampires. In terms of their religious beliefs, the Altmer (High Elves) invert this trope. They believe that the other "lesser" races of Mer (Elves) are the result of "degeneration" over the ages, with each generation being weaker than the last as they are one more removed from their Aedric/Ehlnofey ancestors. The Altmer actively try to breed themselves back into their ideal, which includes killing undesirable progeny. (In their minds, they are releasing the soul so it has a chance to be reincarnated in a better form.) And don't even get them started on the races of Men...

Balerion is the only known dragon that got old enough to die of old age and is by far the biggest dragon known to live. It was said his shadow could cover entire towns when he took flight. Vhagar, smaller and younger than Balerion at the time of his death, is considered twice the size of the next largest dragon and three times the size of most mature dragons.

Both Luffy and Robin as children had shoddy displays of their power, especially the former, but they time theyâ€™ve grown up they turned their respective Devil Fruits into a Swiss-Army Superpower. Lao G practices a form of martial arts that allows him to continue to gain physical strength as he ages. Problem is that it does not prevent health problems like bad backs and arthritis, which causes the octogenarian fighter to do things like destroy mountains with a single palm thrust and then collapse in back pain. Jewelry Bonney has the power to change the age of objects and people at will. This directly relates to how she was forced to prematurely "grow up" and act as an adult at the age of ten. Tragically, this is a known effect of real-life childhood trauma where children who had gone through traumatic experiences undergo accelerated mental development.

Although it had lost nearly all of its teeth through the decades, it still flies and battles as if it hasn't aged a bit. Not to mention its high attack stats. The Creation Trio have special mention here, since they literally created the universe itself and still live on to present day. Although, that's probably because two of them are literally gods, while the third one is undead.

The MonsterVerse version of Godzilla is hundreds of millions of years old and the strongest living Titan on Earth.

Stronger with Age / int_a134c04a	comment	The World of Darkness: Vampires in the Old World of Darkness game Vampire: The Masquerade are stronger with age in two ways: experience and Generation. Older vampires are more experienced (obviously), have more and stronger Disciplines than neonates, and have influence over vampiric and human society. A vampire of lower Generation is closer to the blood of Caine than a 13th-Generation neonate (the game's "default" new player characters), increasing their stat caps and allowing them to spend more Vitae faster. And going even further, it starts getting scarier: There are sleeping vampires that were embraced before the Great Flood. They're strong enough that, when one of them woke up, large-scale orbital weaponry was needed to put it back down. However, at the same time, neonates of higher generations can gain more power through committing diablerie on a lower-generation vampire, seen as a cardinal sin among the Kindred unless on a blood hunt, which will allow them to go up a generation. In Changeling: The Dreaming, trolls become physically larger and stronger as they age. Masquerade's successor game in the New World of Darkness, Vampire: The Requiem, subverts this with its Blood Potency stat. Like Generation, higher ranks of Blood Potency allow a vampire to spend more Vitae and have higher stats, but can't regain Vitae from animals and eventually humans. Instead of being a simple "I'm stronger than you" score, high Blood Potency invokes a psychological need to enter torpor, during which the vampire's Blood Potency drops and he forgets his experiences (the so-called "Fog of Ages"). Ergo, no Kindred stays stronger with age, since they depower while in torpor and their memories become faded dreams. Methuselahs, however, do not suffer the Fog of Ages. With the right Coils of the Dragon, it's possible to utterly avoid the increased blood thirst that comes with age. Meaning in a few centuries, we might have Blood Potency 10 blood gods running around that can still feed on humans rather then other vampires... Mummy: The Curse, however, is an inversion of this trope — a mummy rises at the peak of their power, but it quickly drops a rank and then starts to level out until it's at its weakest, which is when the mummy needs to go back to rest.

Each one of them has survived from the point of divergence of their Lostbelt from Proper Human History to the present day, accumulating power the whole way. Even the "youngest" and weakest of them, Ivan the Terrible, has lived over 450 years and thanks to performing a Fusion Dance with a mammoth Phantasmal Beast, he's so strong his power is on par with a Physical God and the mammoth alone is comparable, by Gilgamesh's own reckoning at that, with Gugalanna, one of the oldest Divine Beasts in the franchise and so powerful even the gods would be wary of trying to fight.

Stronger with Age / int_a6543322	comment	Touhou Project: The setting plays by the rules of Japanese mythology, so some of the youkai characters were once ordinary animals — or even inanimate objects — who gained mystical power and sapience after centuries of age. While many characters are powerful due to winning the Superpower Lottery, others more obtained it seemingly by virtue of being around for so long. 500-year-old Remilia is almost as powerful as her sister Flandre, despite the latter possessing the second biggest Story-Breaker Power in the setting. Kanako and Suwako are more than 2300 years old and with power worthy of their station, despite the years with barely any faith to sustain them. Yuuka's innate magical ability is making flowers bloom and face the sun, but she's one of the oldest living youkai around, and thus one of the strongest. Eirin is a Time Abyss and quite possibly only surpassed in power by Yukari, with even the Watatsuki sisters respectful towards her. And Fujiwara no Mokou is a human who is now EX-Boss strength, due solely to the immense amount of time she has to practice.

To prevent this, they voluntarily undergo a kind of ritualistic death/rebirth cycle every couple of centuries to lose most of their power and memories so they can start over and keep things interesting.

Much of the story is driven by Pandora Chaos Raven, an ancient immortal who refuses to let go of her accumulated power, has gotten very good at using Loophole Abuse to do things that really should be against the rules but technically aren't, and seems to be approaching Eldritch Abomination territory.

Deities predating recorded history, such as Luminiferous, Golden Scepter, and Queen Mzazi, tend to be immensely strong. Amareros, the Eldest of the Wood, and Choice are among the oldest known deities and all of which are incredibly powerful, with Amareros being known as a Grand Primeval and even the Kings of the Summer Changeling Court are afraid of him. His siblings, also Grand Primevals, are every bit as powerful as he is, and likewise no one wants to mess with them. Higher on the divine hierarchy are the three Cosmic Sovereigns, Void, Perpetuity, and Genesis, the latter being revealed as the Grand Primevals' grandmother. And even higher are the Architects - they are so ancient that they are full-blown Eldritch Abominations, but they are completely benevolent and love all of their creations. There are exceptions to the rule, however. Under certain circumstances, deities can accelerate their age through various means, such as absorbing huge amounts of magic (as what happened to Queen Aoide MousikÃ³s and Princess Arcus), having their divine natures completely altered (as what happened to Moon Ray Vaughoof/Prince Canticum Lunae Cahaya; only by reaching an epiphany and coming to terms with himself was his condition stabilized), or becoming the divine avatar of a concept that the entire galaxy believes in (as what happened to Diamond Tiara/Queen Elpis).

Orcs/Orks grow larger, tougher and meaner with age, the oldest being hulking monstrosities even by their standards. Lizardmen are full of this (but see Real Life, below). Slann and Saurus don't die of old age at all, and the latter species (along with some of the non-sapient monster species) also get tougher as they get older. Really the only thing controlling their population is that Slann have an incredibly slow spawning rate and Saurus have an incredibly high death rate. [[note]] that while older Slann are much more potent wizards, this is due to The Magic Goes Away rather than their individual age; those born in the Time of Myths were Reality Warpers, those born in The Good Old Days are merely very powerful, and those born in the last few centuries are about on a level with the magic users of other species. Less noticeably, although dwarves do not get larger with age they do get notably tougher until they are near death. Dragon Ogres also grow larger with age. One of the most powerful ones is Kholek Suneater, who can look over city walls, and his father Krakanrok the Black was mistaken for a mountain at first (and even Archaon chose to sneak away rather than risk waking him up). Fortunately, the only thing that rouses them from their slumber are extremely powerful thunderstorms. Dragons do not go into decrepitude like other creatures do, and instead steadily, if very slowly, become stronger, fiercer and larger as they age. The dragons of the High Elves are divided into increasingly rare and powerful categories to show their increasing age — going from relatively young and impetuous sun dragons through the larger and more mature moon dragons and into the immensely powerful star dragons — while Storm of Magic describes how the oldest dragons alive, known as emperor dragons, eclipse all others in size and might and develop the ability to directly channel the winds of magic and cast spells like wizards.

Servants gain Soul Power steadily as they become more synchronized with their reaper, and their ability will grow with practice, meditation or emergence. Aberrations grow by killing humans, so the longer that they have had to do so, the more powerful they become. The oldest and most powerful servant in the world, Sermung, is over 600 years old.

Twilight and Cadance are definitely a step above the average pony, but are still fairly young and aren't that much more powerful. Celestia and Luna, on the other hand, are each at least a thousand years old are so powerful that their primary responsibilities involve magically moving the Sun and Moon around. Very likely the case with dragons. Teenage dragons are only a bit bigger than ponies; adult dragons are huge monsters that are better left alone. Dragon Lord Torch, the biggest dragon of the land, is pretty much mountain-sized. A story set a thousand years in the past (episode "Campfire Tales") shows a dragon very similar to Torch, but smaller (the size of an adult dragon). If it is indeed Torch, it demonstrates dragons are not only very long-lived, but never stop growing.

Stronger with Age / int_c62995ba	comment	Child of the Storm: Asgardians broadly tend to get stronger as they get older. Odin, relatively old but vigorous at well over 5,000 years old, is described as having aged like an oak tree, having become harder and stronger as he grew older. However, they do eventually decline somewhat, as they age and die, being more mortal than other pantheons — who definitely fulfil this trope, being biologically immortal. Other immortal species, like the Fae, and Vampires, also go with this (though in the case of vampires, it depends on the bloodline — Dracula, for instance, is only about 600 years old, but has the power of a vampire closer to 17,000 years old, because he was chosen by the ancient vampire Varnae, King of the Grey Court, as his heir). As do Elder Wyrms, the ancient dragons (enormous, talkative, and usually malicious) of which modern dragons are 'but a pale shadow' - one of them even gives a paraphrased version of Smaug's speech.

It's also true with Yugi's Dark/Black Magician, who becomes the Dark/Black Robed Sage after also having a thousand years to study the arts of magic. The Gagagigo story shows that Gagagigo became stronger when he ages. However, while Gagagigo is much stronger than his child self "Gigobyte", his cyborg version "Giga Gagagigo" was modified by Kozaky, averting this trope. "Gogiga Gagagigo" was the stronger, insane version of "Giga Gagagigo", but he eventually became the good "Gagagigo the Risen" who has the same ATK and DEF as "Gogiga Gagagigo".

Stronger with Age / int_cfd860dd	comment	The Nasuverse runs on this trope, with the most powerful magical families being the oldest, the ancient vampires being the strongest, and one of the greatest Servants being Gilgamesh, the oldest hero of humanity. This is in addition to Older Is Better; a random weapon from The Age of Gods was already far stronger than a modern weapon when it was first made, and if it has survived to the modern age it will only be stronger. Fate/stay night: In addition to Gilgamesh, there is Pegasus. Rider explains that Pegasus actually survived all the way to the modern age, so he is now as powerful as a dragon. Fate/Grand Order: This is part of the reason why the Lostbelt Kings of the second story arc, Cosmos in the Lostbelt, are so powerful in addition to hitting the Super Power Lottery. Each one of them has survived from the point of divergence of their Lostbelt from Proper Human History to the present day, accumulating power the whole way. Even the "youngest" and weakest of them, Ivan the Terrible, has lived over 450 years and thanks to performing a Fusion Dance with a mammoth Phantasmal Beast, he's so strong his power is on par with a Physical God and the mammoth alone is comparable, by Gilgamesh's own reckoning at that, with Gugalanna, one of the oldest Divine Beasts in the franchise and so powerful even the gods would be wary of trying to fight. As one of the first Japanese heroes, Himiko has incredible strength on par with Oryou, who is a Weredragon.

One of the protagonists, whose family grows crystals, reflects upon seeing the Predator's core that crystals of that type have been faceted, largely as a matter of style, for centuries.

Even the difference of about a year makes all the difference. They also seem to develop the ability to fly over time. However, their weaknesses also get more severe. A 2,000 year old vampire will burn up in the sun within seconds, whereas a younger vampire will take minutes. Faeries also become more powerful with age. Their skills and power with photokinesis, telepathy, etc improve over the centuries.

They do suffer from a loss of agility, but with their increased strength, it's a net plus. This is also why making dragon battle-armor used to be so difficult and impractical for most: because dragons are always growing, they would eventually get too big for it and need multiple sets. Saphira only gets away with it by using an existing set she's still small enough to wear comfortably.

Stronger with Age / int_e293455a	comment	Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Older vampires become stronger, tougher, and more demonic in appearance, and may pick up other powers, like Dracula's tricks. When Spike is first introduced, Giles initially dismisses him as a big threat when he discovers Spike is scarcely over 100 years old (shortly after, he discovers Spike's full history and reconsiders). Kakistos was noted as being an extremely old vampire and thus a bigger threat. His age meant he had lost most traces of a human appearance and a standard size stake wouldn't do the job, so Faith had to use a two-by-four to finish him. The Master (referred to as "the oldest vampire on record") was another vampire old enough to have stopped looking human, and had somehow gained the power to open the Hellmouth. The Master also took a larger-than-usual stake, dying when he was impaled on a broken table leg. And unlike other vampires who turn completely to dust when killed, the Master's skeleton remained intact. Until Buffy smashed it with a sledgehammer to prevent his revival in a ritual. Notably, the Master's inhuman appearance closely resembles that of the Turok-Han or "ubervamps" ("pure" vampires rather than former humans) of Season 7, leading some to speculate that he was the very first human to be turned into a vampire. The Prince of Lies from Angel while likely not as old as The Master is still one of the most ancient vampires seen in the Buffyverse and could easily overpower the much younger vampire Angel in a melee. While age is a major favor in vampires' strength, bloodline seems to matter too. Spike, while not at all ancient, is by bloodline just 4 generations removed from the Master.

Stronger with Age / int_e3b75023	comment	The Nobility in the Vampire Hunter D universe are also like this; and since the series takes place in the far future circa 12000 AD, where most of the time between now and then was dominated by vampiric rule following a nuclear Armageddon 20 Minutes into the Future, some are very old indeed. Downplayed in that a recent human uprising wiped out most vampires, and that those remaining, for all their terrible power, are a dying race. One of the recurring themes of the novel is that while humans are, on the whole, weak, short-lived, and otherwise flawed, vampires have an even greater, fundamental flaw which dooms them to eventual extinction; as the Revered Ancestor once put it when speaking about his kind, "Transient guests are we." It just so happens that D himself is the most successful result of a cross-breeding program by his father (the aforementioned Revered Ancestor) aimed at creating a new breed of vampires without this flaw, thereby ensuring the species' continuance.

Stronger with Age / int_f00d733b	comment	Masquerade's successor game in the New World of Darkness, Vampire: The Requiem, subverts this with its Blood Potency stat. Like Generation, higher ranks of Blood Potency allow a vampire to spend more Vitae and have higher stats, but can't regain Vitae from animals and eventually humans. Instead of being a simple "I'm stronger than you" score, high Blood Potency invokes a psychological need to enter torpor, during which the vampire's Blood Potency drops and he forgets his experiences (the so-called "Fog of Ages"). Ergo, no Kindred stays stronger with age, since they depower while in torpor and their memories become faded dreams. Methuselahs, however, do not suffer the Fog of Ages. With the right Coils of the Dragon, it's possible to utterly avoid the increased blood thirst that comes with age. Meaning in a few centuries, we might have Blood Potency 10 blood gods running around that can still feed on humans rather then other vampires...
