* Starting in Palumpolum, ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'''s [[GiantMook Behemoths]] start going up on their hind legs and wielding swords [[TurnsRed when their health gets low]]. Their sword attacks are much stronger than anything they could do on all fours. In theory, even the weakest variants from before this point can do this as the Beta Behemoth from the first chapter is shown swinging its sword around [[CutscenePowerToTheMax in the opening cutscene]], though it stays on all fours during its boss fight.

* This is basically the premise of the endurance running hypothesis, which is why humans appear the way they are: while becoming bipedal, which is an adaptation for early hominids in order to survive in the savanna after climate change dries up the forests which they first evolved in, makes animals slower than quadrupedal animals on shorter distances, combined with the evolution of sweat glands and the loss of most body hair except on the head, the torso, the limbs, the armpits, and the... down there, this allowed us humans to travel farther and longer distances without the need to stop and cool off, and thus prior to the invention of ranged weapons, allowed us humans to initially catch prey ''[[SuperPersistentPredator by literally chasing them to death.]]'' It also explains why we humans, unlike other animals, wear clothing to make up for the loss of most of our fur. However, due to the invention of vehicles acting as unfair advantage to biological speed limits (as well as inventing ranged weapons such as firearms that allow us to attack and kill prey from a longer, safer distance), relying entirely on endurance to hunt and travel has become waaay too time-consuming nowadays, and obviously, if pitted against any land vehicle, [[HoistByHisOwnPetard our endurance would eventually tire out,]] which is also why [[MissedtheBus most of us never make it to their public transport before they leave without us if we're late.]]

* Inverted with many non-theropod dinosaurs: originally the first dinosaurs were all bipeds, however while theropods (including birds) remained bipeds as they were more efficient for being predators, other dinosaurs that were instead herbivores (particularly sauropods, thyreophorans, ornithopods, and ceratopsians) gradually became quadrupeds to support their increasing weight from the constant diet of plants and vegetations, although some ornithopods, while mostly quadrupeds when traveling at slower speeds, likely became bipedal while running fast, with only the pachycephalosaurs remaining bipedal.
