** {{Inverted}} in strip 1296 when the group is fighting a dragon with mind-control powers. After Roy shrugs them off, Hayley taunts the dragon that he can keep trying to mind control them all he likes (hence the inversion) because they're all protected against it -- thus successfully making him stop trying it on the party members who aren't really protected.

** In another episode, Donita plans on making a cheetah cub into a stole. When there are two "cheetah cubs" (one is actually a honey badger) in front of her, Martin begs her not to take the "biggest, softest, most beautiful one" (the honey badger). She does so and the honey badger viciously attacks her.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/WildKratts'' episode Gecko Effect, the gang has shrunked down with the Miniaturizer to learn about geckos. Unfortunately, Zach Varmitech infiltrates the Tortuga and steals the Miniaturizer while the Wild Kratts are away, when the Wild Kratts return, Zach traps them in a glass jar. Of course, the animal of the day is the gecko, and they have their creature suits and gecko disks; so Martin tries this on Zach by saying, (paraphrase): 'At least in this jar, we're safe from those creepy geckos. Man, they really creep me out! As long as Zach doesn't put one in the jar, I'll be good!' Unfortunately, Zach is an idiot when it comes to animals and has no idea what a gecko is, so Martin has to continue, while pretending he doesn't know Zach is listening: 'You know, those weird lizards that can climb on walls! Like the one on that wall, right over there!' Eventually, it works, and they can escape.
