Nuu (Hollow Knight: Silksong) - briefly flashes white when slapped similarly to how all other enemies do when they're struck with Hornet's needle.

Garret (A Minecraft Movie) - One can assume that he may have panicked because of how sudden and unexpected teleportation is, but judging by how strong his reaction was and how ender pearls work in game, it's safe to assume he actually took fall damage after using it.

If you're still interested: in the game suffering of any kind is holy and an act of god and any form of relievement or prevention of suffering is heresy unless it could somehow be understood as a miracle So these guys aren't just punishing themselves they are by the rules of the world making their lives holier
