** It's larger than in-game hydrants because the Behemoth was meant to be rather less big. It got changed late in the game by punching up the stats and increasing the size of the model, resulting in the huge hydrant, not to mention the shopping trolley it uses as a backpack being a lot larger than what you'd expect.

* A FillerArc in the {{Naruto}} anime included a boat trip for the protagonists. When, during an attack, their ship becomes unseaworthy, [[TheChick Sakura]] rips out its main sail to use as a giant club. Especially notable in that, until this point in the series, [[TheLoad Sakura had done very little in combat that had proven even mildly useful.]] It could also count as foreshadowing, since after the TimeSkip SuperStrength becomes her primary ability and her combat-effectiveness [[TookALevelInBadass skyrockets.]]

* ''NexusWar'' allows characters with the [[ChromeChampion Cloak of Steel]] skill (or its upgraded variations) to do this with telephone poles, streetlamps, and uprooted trees. While it's possible to splatter a maximum-level character in three or four hits this way, such weapons are usually much less accurate than normal-size melee weapons.
