History WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes / WebAnimation

* In ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'', season 9 reveals that back when the Meta was Agent Maine, he was afraid of heights, making his DisneyVillainDeath even more ironic in hindsight.

* ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'': Grif is afraid of bats. When Simmons forces him to search an underground cavern for Sarge, Grif starts freaking out about bats, much to Simmons' annoyance.

* ''Machinima/RedVsBlue:'' Simmons also has a fear of snakes. In season 15, the sight of a small snake was enough to make him faint.

* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': During the tournament matches, Team SSSN is pitted against Team NDGO. The battle arena is given two sets of terrain, desert and water. While Team NDGO is delighted to have a desert terrain, having come from a desert homeland, Team SSSN has a very big problem. Their team member, [[IronicName Neptune]], has a crippling fear of water. As soon as he sees the water appear behind him, he races forward and climbs one of the cliffs on Team NDGO's side. Although he claims it's a tactic the opponents would never expect (they admit that's true), it's obvious to the girls why Neptune's doing it. At the end of the match, the girls take up position in the water in the belief that Neptune won't be able to touch them. Unfortunately for them, Neptune's weapon is electricity-based. When he reluctantly gets close enough to dip his trident into the water, it's game over for Team NDGO. The canon spin-off novel ''Literature/RWBYBeforeTheDawn'' reveals that Neptune's phobia exists because of his [[PowerIncontinence uncontrollable]] water-manipulation Semblance. He can potentially kill people by accident whenever he's near even a small amount of water, and very nearly has.

** This is PlayedForLaughs for all it's worth in ''WebAnimation/RWBYChibi'' as Neptune is shown wearing various swimming gear when taking a bath and allowing Jaune to drown in the pool when he's made a lifeguard (don't worry, Jaune gets better.)

* In ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'', one of [[TheJuggernaut The Meta's]] only weaknesses is that he's afraid of heights. His death is appropriately ironic; he's knocked off a cliff into the ocean.

** Probably alluding to the fact that Hetfield was badly burned by stage pyrotechnics during Metallica's 1992 tour with Guns N' Roses, thus proving that no matter how much they called Metallica a bunch of dicks, their detractors could still [[DudeNotFunny out-dick]] them rather easily.
