10 Video Game Fates Worse Than Death (Commenter's Edition)

10. Immortal... But Decapitated - Mortal Kombat 11

Mortal Kombat 11's story mode kicks off with a prologue where Raiden tortures the evil Shinnok, who taunts Raiden that he even he isn't powerful enough to kill an Elder God.

Raiden responds by literally telling Shinnok, "There are fates worse than death," and promptly cutting his head clean off his shoulders.

This of course doesn't kill Shinnok, instead simply incapacitating him, as Raiden leaves him to live out an eternity as nothing more than a severed head - a living warning of his own wrath.

As if being robbed of your mobility and general agency isn't bad enough, you become an embodiment of what happens when anyone crosses the legendary thunder god - with no way to be put out of your misery, no less.
