* ''{{Temeraire}} gives us Lily, an acid-spitting twenty-ton dragon and the pride of the British Aerial Corps.

* {{Toriko}}: Battle Wolf ''Terry Cloth'' may be a puppy but he can still rip apart foes that ''Toriko'' had trouble with.

* Tora from ''UshioAndTora''. Despite claiming to [[IAmAHumanitarian eat humans]] [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption he never does on screen]]. He gets [[AttentionDeficitOhShiny distracted by the modern human world so much]] it fascinates him...and he accidentally gets [[CrowningMomentOfFunny ran over by cars]] and smashed into the wall comedic-ally. Also, he has a WeaksauceWeakness in that perfume and cologne repels him. Hell an entire chapter is titled 'Tora's Civilization Allergy'.

* In chapter 9 of [[Literature/TheIntercontinentalUnionOfDisgustingCharacters The Intercontinental Proliferation of Disgusting Characters]], Peter Perfect's new paladin mount is revealed to be an undead great wyrm gold dragon. He calls her "Fluffball."

* The sample characters in ''TabletopGame/{{Toon}}'' include The Crusher, [[DeathbringerTheAdorable a two-foot tall little green man with a meek voice who nevertheless makes the ground shake when he walks]]. He's not an example of this trope, but his enforcer, a hulking alien brute named Percy, is.

* A team of the world's most hardcore counter-terrorism operatives is bought together by the United Nations in an increasingly dangerous world. To signify their multinational identity, this top secret team is given the name ''RainbowSix''.

* In Rome, one of the emperors marched alongside the legions when he was a child. They made the child, a boy named Gaius Julius Caesar Germanicus, a set of armor that included little leather boots. Gaius received the nickname "Bootsy", or "Little Boots". [[TheCaligula Guess what the Latin word for "Little Boots"/"Bootsy" is]].

* The prize has to go to the British in WW2, who called what was at the time their main battle tank the ''Valentine''. Its American-built stablemate was initially called the ''Honey''.

* In ''ABriefHistoryOfEquestria'', the name of the leader and founder of the largest empire in history, the Mongrellian Horde, was, indeed, "Fluffy."

** And there is also Fluffy the dog, whom a little girl brings Garfield home to.

* Every major villain in Manga/DragonBall since Piccolo Daimaou (with his henchmen, Piano, Tambourine, Cymbal and Drum), culminating in the [[OmnicidalManiac unstoppable creation]] of the maniacal wizard Bibidi and servant of his son [[Disney/{{Cinderella}} Babidi... Buu.]] The machine mutant Baby from DragonBallGT is one of the most glaring examples.

* One of the most fearsome {{Space Pirate}}s in ''TachyonTheFringe'' is Redship ''Rory''. Jake, being voiced by BruceCampbell, can't help but make fun of the name the first time they meet (as much as an encounter in space counts as a meeting). Rory doesn't appreciate the humor and sends his {{Mook}}s to kill the hero.

The original {{Hellhound}}; Cerberus the three-headed guardian of TheUnderworld in ClassicalMythology. His name comes from the root indo-european word ḱerberos. It means "Spotted." Hades, Lord of the Underworld; named his dog "Spot."

[[folder:Music]]
* In Devin Townsend's concept album "Ziltoid The Omniscient," the Sixth Dimensional Planet Smasher is named... Herman. He hates musicals.

** "Series/{{Angel}}" too, for that matter. However poet-turned-vampire William Pratt specifically takes the name "Spike" to avert this trope, after Angelus (Angel's evil alter ego) tells him that "Willie" doesn't strike the right note of terror.
