* This tips Sherlock Holmes off to the fact that plastic surgery is being employed among Moriarty's men in ''Film/SherlockHolmesAGameOfShadows'', when one "twin brother" pushes his "brother" down after the latter had gotten shot in order to get a clear shot at the heroes.

* Happens sometimes in ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas''. Should you kill a member of a group with a really good weapon, another mook might grab the weapon and shoot you with it. Considering the attitude of the Powder Gangers and other small gangs, this trope is likely the default attitude.

* The fifth boss of CastlevaniaCircleOfTheMoon is a pair of zombie dragons. If one is killed the other will chew away at the corpse to recover health.
* Late into [[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiPartnersInTime Partners in Time]], Mario and Luigi fight Intern Shroobs as common enemies. Each Intern Shroob is paired with an elderly Shroobsworth, the former riding piggyback. If the Shroobsworth is defeated, the Intern Shroob will kick it aside without an ounce of pity.
* In [[VideoGame/ChronoTrigger Chrono Trigger]], inside the Black Omen are two-headed snake monsters called Ruminators which attack in groups. Their attack can absorb HP, which they make a priority of keeping at maximum, and they are not above attacking and outright killing other Ruminators to top off their HP. This can have the humorous result of several Ruminators taking turns injuring or killing each other for you.

* A boss example exists in ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}: Mystic Square''. In the DualBoss battle with Yuki and Mai, if Mai is KO'd first, Yuki will go on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge. If Yuki drops first? Mai mocks her.

* Orcs in general. From the fantasy of Tolkien to Warhammer 40K Science Fiction, the weapons may change but your Orc army is only kept together by force and fear. Given half a chance they will turn on each other and the idea of actually helping one another is laughable.

You can tell an enemy force is downright evil when its members don't even support each other. Sure they have a common goal, but [[ItsAllAboutMe it's every mook for himself]]. One mook will get injured and go down, the other will mock him and/or kill him. But why stop there? Use his body as a shield! Steal his stuff! [[DueToTheDead Desecrate his body]]!
