9* ''Webcomic/DaisyOwl'': Mr. Owl is a PapaWolf, despite being an owl. He's willing to go up against NASA armed only with a bear if it means saving his kids.
10* Ed in ''Webcomic/{{Digger}}'' appears, for a Hyena, harmless and non-violent, [[spoiler:to the point he doesn't try to defend himself from or leave his abusive wife (hyenas are matriarchal, as is a major theme in Digger). That is, until his violent, mentally ill spouse started beating their daughter. [[TheDogBitesBack This did not end well. ]]]]
11* The Shintulla Chieftain from ''Webcomic/DominicDeegan'' gets royally pissed when [[spoiler:Jacob]] apparently kills his son. [[spoiler:Jacob's]] [[http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2009-08-28 expression]] makes it perfectly clear that he ''knows'' [[OhCrap he's screwed]].
12* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' gives us Mr. Verres. Sure, he's a ReasonableAuthorityFigure, sure he's an [[MemeticMutation endless barrel of exposition]], and sure he's a little eccentric. But mess with his son, his niece, or any of their friends, he '''WILL''' [[http://egscomics.com/?date=2009-11-03 blast you without warning or mercy.]]
13* In ''Webcomic/ExterminatusNow'', Lothar Hex's adoptive mercenary father is fiercely protective of Lothar and his other foster son Kyle. He even threatened to cut out the hearts of the other main characters if anything happened to Lothar or Kyle because of their Inquisition work. Lothar is equally protective of his crazy mercenary family -- he and Rogue nearly killed each other when Rogue refused to believe Kyle selling weapons to cultists was just a stupid mistake and threatened to kill him and Lothar's dad.
14* In ''Webcomic/TheFancyAdventuresOfJackCannon'' we have that rare example of both parents being Badass and protective of their son. Not that he can't stand for his own.
15* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' has a number of them, most of them [[MadScientist Sparks]]:
16** Adam Clay (né Punch) and his wife [[MamaBear Lilith]] (née Judy) are this toward Agatha, willing to challenge [[TheEmpire the entire Wulfenbach regime]] to protect her.
17** For that matter, Agatha's father Bill and her uncle Barry as well, to judge by flashbacks in both the comic and novelization. When Castle Heterodyne was wrecked and Bill's wife and children apparently dead, they embarked on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge to find and stop The Other. Given that The Other is still [[HorrifyingTheHorror ''terrified'']] that Barry will show up, they did a good job slowing The Other down.
18** Even [[WellDoneSonGuy Baron Wulfenbach]] has his moments, albeit [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20040531 more subdued than most]].
19** Othar Tryggvassen, '''GentlemanAdventurer!''', shows traits like this towards his sister.
20* ''Webcomic/GoblinHollow'': When gargoyles come after ''his'' goblins: [[http://www.rhjunior.com/GH/00302.html Ben in action]]
21* ''Webcomic/{{Goblins}}'' has Pan, a blind ogre, fulfilling this role for Yala, a mute, disabled kobold who acts as his 'pilot'. Threatening Yala while Pan is nearby is a good way to get yourself brutalised, as the dwarf in [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/03312009/ this strip]] finds out to his cost.
22* Zombie of ''Webcomic/HannaIsNotABoysName'' is [[TheStoic usually a pretty mellow guy,]] but [[http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=85 don't touch his friends]]. '''Ever.'''
23** And you don't mess with ''him,'' either, or [[http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=804 you'll have Hanna to deal with.]]
24* In ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob,'' Mook the {{Bigfoot|SasquatchAndYeti}} is this to his son Rocko, almost starting a war by way of overreaction when Rocko gets stood up for a date.
25** Bob [[TheStoic rarely loses his composure]] much beyond his stock look of DullSurprise. We've seen him scared or frantic upon occasion, but the only times we've seen him ''furious'' are the times Jerry has threatened Molly with a gun. When Bob believed she'd actually been hit, he launched himself at Jerry (who was armed) and tackled him without hesitation.
26* In the webcomic ''[[http://luciphurrsimps.com/ Luci Phurr's Imps]]'', the three imps (Pain, Tears, and Misfortune/Alsadair) are devoted to happy, good little girl, Luci. But as some kids, adults, and other imps have discovered, if you threaten or upset Luci, or try to take her away from the trio... you WILL end up regretting it.
27* In ''Webcomic/{{Megatokyo}}'', Ed learned the hard way that just because Ibara may be a jerkass that leeches money off his daughter Junko doesn't mean he takes kindly to having a shotgun pointed in her general direction.
28* In ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'', Vaarsuvius' mate and children are threatened by the mother of a young black dragon the Order had slain earlier. [[spoiler:Vaarsuvius makes a deal with fiends to gain enough power to not only kill the dragon but use an epic spell to [[DisproportionateRetribution slay every single relative that black dragon had]]. His/her mate was suitably horrified.]]
29** Note that this example [[AmbiguousGender crosses over with]] MamaBear.
30** Also in ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'', Belkar Bitterleaf (v2.0) can turn into a Papa Wolf if you threaten his [[TeamPet adopted cat]] Scruffy (see [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0685.html here]]). Don't make him angry.
31* Joshua Shephard of ''Webcomic/TheSilverEye'' is a father of five, and also wields a deadly telescope that can cut through anything.
32* Even though Iratu and Sakido are demons, when they are put in danger Darius, the angel from ''Webcomic/SlightlyDamned'', exemplifies this trope [[http://www.sdamned.com/2008/12/12202008/ in spades.]]
33* ''Webcomic/{{Thespiphobia}}'''s Rich Gurney will MAUL YOU if you mess with his techies. [[BewareTheNiceOnes Any other time, he's the sweetest, most harmless guy on the planet]].
34* Hon Akraptor from ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'' is a PapaWolf who failed to protect his daughter. As a result, he is overcautious whenever it comes to Miseng, who resembles her. This includes trying to fail her so she gets out of the inner section of the Tower and beating up the creeps that get too close to her. Their relationship is rather shaky, to say the least.
35* ''Webcomic/{{Unsounded}}'':
36** While Duane was no longer in his best fighting trim after he retired from an active military position and became a father he was still possibly the most dangerous wright in Alderode at the time of his assassination, managing to kill a slew of his attackers despite having to protect his daughter and being attacked by a group specially selected to kill him with anti-wright weaponry, having the entire neighborhood under their sway to improve their chances and paying off [[spoiler:his own brother]] to ensure he wouldn't get any help. The incredibly skilled Black Tongue behind his death, who had mastered skills said to be impossible for wrights, refused to be anywhere near while the attack was happening because he knew he couldn't hope to survive a fight with him.
37** Lemuel is still an active [[DragonRider Vliegeng rider]] and tied for possibly to most dangerous non-wright fighters in the entire setting with his pair of swords and clever use of pymarics, and has at least two kids [[spoiler:since he married Duane's widow and adopted his children.]] He's still borderline unhinged in battle as well.
38** Toma is a storied Queen's Peaceguard Captain whose seen as a heroic figure in Cresce for his many successful exploits, and proves time and time again to be good strategist, and canny fighter. He's also a father, and his daughter seems to be the only thing he is actually fond of to come from his marriage to a noblewoman.
39** Quigley may not be winning any father of the year awards but he's survived multiple suicide attacks against small Aldish and Crescian forces while carrying his son on his back.
40* In ''Webcomic/{{Wigu}}'', Quincy Tinkle may be a happy, somewhat dumb guy, but if Wigu or Paisley are harmed he will go to great lengths to get revenge. To date, Quincy has [[spoiler:annihilated an alien insect that bit Wigu, fought off a group of Plesiosaurs with nothing but a knife when they attacked the Tinkle family van, and almost murdered Hamburglar after the latter hospitalized Wigu.]]
