-->'''Lapis''': You ''have'' to destroy her. Don't you understand? It's the ''only'' way to make sure Steven will be safe from her. Otherwise she'll ''never--ever--stop.'''

-->'''Ronaldo''': It's hunting me! I can hear its horrible breathing...tell my dad and my brother I love them, tell them that I died as I lived, seeking the really truthy kind of truth, and that I want to be buried in my Loch Ness Blogster costume, and I want the funeral march to be the second "Go Go Koala Princess OAV" ending title, 'Wagamama no Hi'. Got it? Ahhhhh! The orange...THE ORANGE!! ''(phone disconnects)''

* Steven gets a phone call from Ronaldo as he's being chased by Jasper...who is not in a good mood after spending the last few months trapped as half of a forced fusion under the ocean.

* During the Crystal Gems' first fight with an army of Gem Busters, one Gem Buster pierces Lapis through the back and drags her toward the drills. She comes very close to being ground into a fine pile of powder.

** The description of the newer, improved Gem Busters: "...sleek and elegant with solid six-leg construction, thorax-mounted scanners, and extendable front-mounted claws to pierce the bodies of their victims to hold them steady for the drills."

* To try and kill the Crystal Gems, Peridot activates the Drill-Class Gem Buster, a robot equipped with three drills made to hunt down Gems and grind them into dust. It becomes an example of AIIsACrapshoot almost instantly, mistaking Peridot for an enemy and refusing to respond to her deactivation code. The Crystal Gems destroy the first one, but there's another and it has access to memory archives, allowing it to learn from the first one's experiences and become a more effective killer. Then it starts collecting material to build more Gem Busters, and those ones start building ''more'' Gem Busters...oh, and they're not just building more Gem Busters, they're building technologically improved, more intelligent, more efficient Gem Busters that learn from their experiences fighting their enemies. They're like [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles the Omnidroid]] if it could clone itself!

* Putting a living Gem into a device to power it is called "embedding" and is a punishment for Gem criminals (i.e. literally anyone who breaks the rules on Homeworld). Most Gems embedded for more than a thousand years go completely insane and lose their sense of self. According to Pearl, Gems are threatened with embedding while they're still at a crèche, i.e. the equivalent of a ''nursery''.

* During the Gem war for Earth, Blue Diamond believed her Gems had to be willing to die for her and Homeworld. She forced every one of her Gems onto the battlefield, regardless of whether they were made to fight or not. She did [[FateWorseThanDeath terrible things]] to her officers who managed to come back alive from battles with the Crystal Gems.

'''Fluffy, Not Fat'''

''Laconic'': An animal appears to be large, but most of its "bulk" is actually fur.

A ComedyTrope where an animal who appears to be very large gets wet or loses its fur in some fashion, revealing that its body is actually rather small and/or thin underneath all that fur. The animal itself may react by [[ThroughAFaceFullOfFur blushing]], acting embarrassed, or acting like a human whose clothing has suddenly vanished, while onlookers laugh at the comical sight.

This trope has some basis in RealLife: Many animals, when threatened, will puff out their fur, feathers, or whatever they have covering their bodies to make themselves look bigger and scare away potential predators or rivals.

* FluffyDryCat: The inverted version -- when a wet animal is dried, its fur will poof outwards hugely.
* FurIsClothing: Fur/skin/feathers/scales acting like clothing.

* ''Manga/SPYxFAMILY'': Bond is a large and fluffy dog. When he gets wet (after he catches fire and Loid has to throw water on him), he is revealed to be rather skinny.

[[folder:Video Games]]
* ''{{VideoGame/Palworld}}'': Exaggerated with Wumpo, a large, yeti-like Pal whose entire body is made of hair. When some researchers caught one and tried to shave it, there was nothing underneath, and they ended up with a pile of lifeless hair.

* When angry, cats will puff out their fur in order to look more intimidating.
