Is there a way to simulate the arrow-resistance displayed by heroic characters in fiction solely through biological traits?

Exactly as asked on the title, is there a way that a human, or at least, a species that appears outwardly human, could survive being pincushioned by arrows, at least for a suitably dramatic length of time (several minutes, the length of one pre-death monologue, maybe.)?

I would rather if the answer came from a more biological standpoint rather than a technological one (e.g. tough leathery hide, redundant organs instead of "nanomachines, son!")
