* Comes up twice in the ''Literature/MistressOfTheArtOfDeath'' series.
** In "The Death Maze", Adelia and her friends find one of Rosamund's mantraps in her barn . Unlike most mantraps of the era designed for catching and holding the leg, hers are extra big and strong so they [[GroinAttack close up to the victim's groin]] instead, killing them. This keeps them from exploring the woods, worrying that more are hidden beneath the snow. [[spoiler:At the climax, Dame Dakers retrieves it and leaves it on the road, and the Abbot dies when he steps in it.]]
** In ''Relics of The Dead'', one of these posthumously exonerates [[spoiler:Eustace]]. Adelia finds his fingers in a toothed bear trap, proving that he'd been trapped trying to sneak in the night of the Abbey fire, and thus couldn't have set it himself. He had to [[LifeOrLimbDecision sever his fingers]] to escape the fire, but tragically [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome died anyway]] from the blood loss.

* In ''Film/TheGeneral'', Buster Keaton's character Johnnie and his girlfriend walk into one of these immediately after escaping from an actual bear. It takes several minutes to get themselves free. Fortunately it's of the non-toothed variety.
