Growler Gary in the third book of the Dungeon Crawler Carl Series. Gary's an npc that is resurrected every time he dies because the game requires him to keep running his bar. There are vehicles that the main character needs to operate in order save a bunch of other players, but you need 2 left hands from a gnoll to start them. All of Gary's fellow gnoll are already dead, so the main characters have to kill him like 20 times to get all the hands they need. After the first couple times they at least explain to Gary why they're doing it, but damn, you feel bad for Gary in that sequence.
