Yeah, like the bird.
In Shadowbane it is possible with a very high defense character and a few necromancers to wipe out the occupants of a safe zone known as Sea Dog's Rest using a quirk in necro pet agro. The necromancers summon lots of pets on the high defense character who can barely be hit, just outside the safe zone around SDR. The high def character then slowly moves into the town and drops his defensive stance and dies to the pets.

Necromancer pets automatically agro whatever is closest to them when their target dies, so when the first guy died, loads of pets then ran around hitting others inside the town who were usually trade alts and afks who died very quickly.

Performing this every 5-10 minutes was enough to piss a lot of people off, and the technique became known as necro-bombing. They nerfed it slightly with a longer timer on necro pet summons, but it is still possible.
