History Main / ScaryLibrarian

* Technically, Myne from Ascendance Of A Bookworm might be considered an example of this trope since she was a professional librarian in her previous life and retains a strong interest in books in her current life. Her scary aspect comes into play when a fellow priest named Egmont deliberately vandalized the temple book collection that she had been placed in charge of which causes her to start ranting about the need to punish him in a Festival Of Blood "To strike fear into our enemies and encourage our allies!". Nobody doubts that she is serious and all regard it as scary. This is doubly intimidating because she is normally kind and peaceful. It is only after she has determined that no actual harm was done to the books themselves that she calms down and stops being homicidal.

* ''VideoGame/Echocalypse'': Katch is a terrifying librarian. She once pursued a patron who took a magazine from the Forbidden City's Library, of which there were thousands of copies elsewhere, all the way to the Empire, on the other side of the continent, killed them, and took the magazine back. She also routinely cuts to ribbons anyone who tries to find the secrets in the library.

* In ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends'', [[AxCrazy Flippy]] works as a librarian in the episode ''Random Acts of Silence''. Said episode just happens to be the first (and so far, only) one where more than one character are afraid of him before he snaps.

* The ''Literature/HowToTrainYourDragon'' series has the Hairy Scary Librarian who will (at the very least try to) kill anyone who enters the Meathead Public Library without permission. Due to vikings not being allowed to read books and therefore the library not being very public despite its name, that means anyone who isn't him.

* ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'': As shown in her first Story Quest, Lisa takes her job surprisingly seriously, even thro she otherwise likes to take it slow, if not lazy. She's been known to electrocute with her Electro powers anyone who faces her wrath, and those with overdue books are guaranteed to face her wrath. Razor, who views Lisa as a mentor, says in his voiceline about her that she's scary. She's also a HotLibrarian.

The Scary Librarian will [[BerserkButton freak out]] if you talk in the library, [[ExtremelyOverdueLibraryBook fail to return a book on time]], or, God forbid, spill something on it or damage the binding. They'll shush you at the slightest noise, and occasionally [[HypocriticalHumor will start screaming]] at non-compliant patrons. She is [[ThePerfectionist obsessed with all the books being in perfect order and alignment]]. She doesn't tolerate students [[AsleepInClass napping in the study carrels]]. Students dread asking questions, as of she thinks you've [[AskAStupidQuestion asked a stupid question]], she gives you [[OhGreatASnarkIndex snark and attitude]]. If you make them mad, [[FigureItOutYourself don't expect any help with your research paper]].

The Scary Librarian can move like a cat, without making noise, and can [[StealthHiBye appear from nowhere]] if you're up to trouble. She can [[SuperHearing hear a kid opening of a bag of Doritos from 100 feet away]]. Beware, as she confiscates contraband snacks or electronic games. Some play the role of MoralGuardian, and try to prevent kids from reading [[NationalGeographicNudity National Geographic magazines]], books about [[TheTalk how babies are made]] or the UsefulNotes/LGBTCommunity.
