Line #45 WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes/Webcomics


1	[[AC:Snakes (ophidiophobia), Reptiles (herpetophobia)]]
2	* Toshubi in ''WebComic/BladeOfToshubi'' [[http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Blade_of_Toshubi/5212583/ hates snakes!]] Although considering the size difference, who can blame him?
3	* ''Webcomic/PvP'''s Jade [[http://www.pvponline.com/comic/2010/08/31/this-means-warts hates toads]].
4	* The Barbarian character in ''Webcomic/{{Weregeek}}'' [[http://www.weregeek.com/2010/02/15/ added it to his background]]. Why Did It Have To Be Snakes? Because a DM ALWAYS uses the character's background against them.
5
6	[[AC:Insects (entomophobia)]]
7	* Kiran from ''Webcomic/{{Chirault}}''.
8	* In ''{{Webcomic/Freefall}}'', [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff2200/fc02117.htm Florence is afraid of hornets,]] and ''terrified'' by the Mayor as a side effect of canine pack dynamics.
9	* Commander Badass from ''WebComic/ManlyGuysDoingManlyThings'' hates millipedes. This comes from doing a term of duty on [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the millipede planet]] in millipede season where everything was covered, filled with, or spawning millipedes. Which ''really'' sucks because his daughter has a pet millipede.
10
11	[[AC:Spiders (arachnophobia)]]
12	* Eastwood of ''Webcomic/ExterminatusNow'' is cripplingly [[http://exterminatusnow.co.uk/2004-10-15/comic/orbital-arachnaphobia/irrational-fear/ arachnophobic]]. And it first comes up in an arc where they fight some [[http://exterminatusnow.co.uk/2004-10-22/comic/orbital-arachnaphobia/half-an-inch/ massive]] spiders.
13	* Gil in ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'', and Agatha [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20090729 seems to have a little bit of this one as well]].
14	* Lazer Pony of the ''Webcomic/LeagueOfSuperRedundantHeroes'' is so scared of spiders that whenever he hears the word "spider", his first instinct is to blast indiscriminately with his EyeBeams.
15	* Pebble from ''Webcomic/PebbleAndWren'' is apparently afraid of spiders as he seems nervous about sleeping under the bed where the spiders are.
16
17	[[AC:Cats (ailurophobia)]]
18	* In ''Webcomic/FauxPas'', [[http://www.ozfoxes.net/cgi/pl-fp1.cgi?305 the dog Rags is afraid of cats]].
19
20	[[AC:Other Animals]]
21	* [[http://axecop.com/comic/ask-axe-cop-72/ Parodied]] by ''Webcomic/AxeCop''. Axe Cop is terrified of talking gorillas. They are his greatest fear.
22	* Two from ''Webcomic/DeathToTheExtremist'' is afraid of ponies.
23	* O-Chul from ''WebComic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' may or may not be afraid of sharks (galeophobia) after events in the comic, but he says the line of the trope almost verbatim. Though considering that Xykon continually had O-Chul tossed to sharks of varying nonsensical breeds during his imprisonment in the conquered Azure City...
24	-->'''O-Chul:''' Sharks. Why did it have to be sharks.
25	* Isabel from ''Webcomic/{{Paranatural}}'' is afraid of dogs due to an incident when she was younger.
26	* Demon Hunter Steve Uozin in ''WebComic/SluggyFreelance'' is afraid of rabbits and ferrets.
27	--> '''Torg''': Wait, you're brave enough to flick demons on the head, but you're afraid of rabbits? I mean, if you'd ''met'' [[KillerRabbit Bun-bun]] before, I'd understand!
28
29	[[AC:Fire (pyrophobia)]]
30	* In ''Webcomic/CuantaVida'', the BLU Spy has a debilitating fear of fire due to an [[NoodleIncident unspecified incident]].
31
32	[[AC:Nature related phobias]]
33	* Trees (dendrophobia) -- Durkon from ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick''. This seems to be a [[OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame racial thing]], with Thor-worshipping dwarves being convinced that their god smites tall trees for being wicked.
34	* In ''Webcomic/ScandinaviaAndTheWorld'', Denmark is afraid of nature itself, everything from butterflies to waterfalls. Curiously enough, he's just fine with domestic animals. And the sea, to the surprise of Norway and Sweden [[http://satwcomic.com/under-the-sea here.]]
35
36	[[AC:Women (gynophobia)]]
37	* Thog from ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' is defeated by an illusion of a female orc. Haley takes offense that his fear of "pretty girls" doesn't seem to extend to those of other species.
38
39	[[AC:Other phobias]]
40	* Bob of ''Webcomic/BobAndGeorge'' is spectacularly phobic of Pokémon. For no adequately explained reason. We'll state this again: a character with fire superpowers who intermittently seeks to conquer anything he doesn't destroy '''is terrified of Rattata'''.
41	* The cats in ''Webcomic/BreakingCatNews'' are frightened of loud noises, so they tend to panic when confronted with things like [[http://www.breakingcatnews.com/comic/theres-a-thunderstorm-outside/ thunderstorms]], [[http://www.breakingcatnews.com/comic/the-neighborhood-is-under-attack/ fireworks]], and [[http://www.breakingcatnews.com/comic/the-vacuum-is-out/ vacuum cleaners]].
42	* Hats: Trel from ''Webcomic/CwensQuest'' has either violent fits of terror or near psychotic reactions to hats due to childhood trauma.
43	* Xenophobia: ''Webcomic/{{Insecticomics}}'' Dreadmoon. Due to the humorous nature of the comic it's more a strong disgust than outright fear; in Wayward's more serious fanfiction he's uncomfortable around non-Cybertronians and outright terrified of organics.
44	* Varden of ''Webcomic/{{Inverloch}}'' is petrified of magic and goes all sweaty and bug-eyed whenever he sees it (or when it's used ''on'' him). Neirenn, the group mage, takes advantage of this whenever they're arguing over something.
45	* Pebble from ''Webcomic/PebbleAndWren'' is afraid of being alone and toilets (the latter because he thinks they're alive).
46	* Katia of ''Webcomic/{{Prequel}}'' is deathly scared of nobility, including having a nightmare of Uriel Septim as a HumanoidAbomination (while in-universe he's the BigGood) and being rendered speechless at the sight of Martin Septim (at that time merely a priest in Kvatch).
47	* In ''Webcomic/SequentialArt'', [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=490 the squirrel girls (except Scarlet) are agoraphobes.]] [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=491 To prevent their escapes.]]
48	* ''Webcomic/SleeplessDomain'': Heartful Punch mentions being grossed out by what she calls "eye guys" -- monsters that feature prominent EyeMotifs in their design, such as having [[ExtraEyes way too many of them]] in [[EyesDoNotBelongThere places they shouldn't be]], or just [[{{Cephalothorax}} being little more than a floating eye to begin with]] -- which of course means that these types of monsters show up on a semi-regular basis. At one point while on patrol with Undine, she encounters a massive amorphous BlobMonster that's absolutely covered in eyes... which turns out to have been [[spoiler:specifically designed to counter and kill her, and very nearly succeeds in doing so]].
49	* Riff from ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'' is afraid of orphans, and won't go near an orphanage without a missile launcher handy. Riff will also end up in Torg's arms if somebody mentions the DMV.
50	-->'''Riff:''' [[http://sluggy.com/daily.php?date=060917 Haven't you seen "Annie"? They could break out in song and swarm any minute.]]
51	* [=PeeJee=] in ''Webcomic/SomethingPositive'' has been shown to have an almost pathological fear of puppets.
52	* In ''Webcomic/SquidRow'', Randie is deathly afraid of garden gnomes.
53	* Connie of ''Webcomic/{{Waterworks}}'' is germophobic, and tends to freak out around toilets.
54	* Gray from ''Webcomic/WeakHero'' has an intense fear of rooftops ever since his best friend was pushed off one and hospitalised. When Ben discovers this, he relocates the gang's hangout spot from the rooftop to an empty schoolroom. Then Wolf demands that Gray be taken to a rooftop for a fight; this is how Gray suffers his first serious beating in the series, as he's too afraid of being on the roof to retaliate. [[HeroicSecondWind Not at first, anyway]].
