* In ''Literature/SwordOfShadows'', Vaylo Bludd, [[RedBaron the Dog Lord]] keeps a pack of five war dogs, all of whom he simply calls "dog" (or by description if he needs to single one out, ie "the wolf dog"). Apparently Vaylo has owned so many dogs over the course of his life, and his identity so strongly tied to that fact, that naming them would feel as strange - and unnecessary - to him as naming his limbs. Vaylo's grandchildren, however, don't share his restraint and named the wolf dog - the largest and most aggressive of the pack - "[[FluffyTheTerrible Fluff]]". Vaylo considers the fact that the wolf dog actually answers to that name to be the funniest thing he's ever seen.
