Line #128 WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes/WesternAnimation


1	[[AC:Snakes (Ophidiophobia), Reptiles (Herpetophobia)]]
2	* ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' has Tucker performing a ShoutOut to ''Franchise/IndianaJones'' by shouting the trope's name when multiple snakes appeared caused by PandorasBox.
3	* Launchpad also parodies it in the FiveEpisodePilot of ''WesternAnimation/{{DuckTales\|1987}}'': "Yah, a snake! I hate snakes! No... that's somebody else. I sorta like snakes." Then one nearly ''eats'' him: "'''Now''' I hate snakes."
4	* In the ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong'' episode "Bring It On", Jake uses these words verbatim.
5	* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
6	** Twilight Sparkle is terrified of snakes, as shown in "Winter Wrap-Up". She is also terrified of ladybugs.
7	-->'''Twilight Sparkle:''' When I was a filly, a swarm of them got into our house. Shining Armor told me that their spots were extra eyes, watching wherever you go. ''So creepy...''
8	** And Fluttershy is shown to be utterly terrified of dragons in "Dragonshy". (Well, huge adult dragons, anyways. Small baby ones, like Spike, apparently have [[CutenessProximity the opposite effect.]])
9	* Yar, the lemur chief from ''WesternAnimation/{{Dinosaur}}'' apparently has a huge fear of dinosaurs. He eventually gets over it after a newly-hatched Aladar pees in his face.
10	* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}'', Roger is afraid of snakes.
11	* DJ from ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' is terrified of snakes. He even completely freaks out when he mistakes a gummy worm for one.
12	* WesternAnimation/{{Archer}} has three great fears. Two of them are alligators and crocodiles, to the point where he has memorized every single fatal alligator and crocodile attack in the United States. He ''would'' have memorized the ones in China, but their records are spottier.
13	* Gene from ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'' reveals his fear of snakes in "It Snakes a Village". He even sings a song about it.
14	-->♫ I'm... not afraid of ghosts, ♫\
15	♫ I'm not afraid of sharks, ♫\
16	♫ I'm not afraid of [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking cancer,]] ♫\
17	♫ I'm just afraid of snakes! ♫\
18	♫ They really creep me out! ♫\
19	♫ Where are their arms and legs?! ♫\
20	♫ IT'S NOT OKAY! ♫
21	* Terk from ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfTarzan'' becomes deathly afraid of the raptors from [[LostWorld Pellucidar]] when one makes it to the surface.
22	* Inez of ''WesternAnimation/{{Cyberchase}}'' is terrified of snakes.
23	* Ma from ''WesternAnimation/TheCrumpets'' mentions that she can't stand reptiles when one of her eldest sons asks if he can bring his pet crocodile to her care in "Croco-Deal".
24	* A scene in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' which directly parodied Indiana Jones had Tommy afraid of lizards, and he quoted the trope out loud, except replacing 'snakes' with '[[BabyTalk lizzers]]'.
25
26	[[AC:Spiders (Arachnophobia)]]
27	* Gumball Watterson of ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' is shown to have this in the episode "The Date". He is bitten by a tarantula and ends up in the hospital, where the tarantula attacks him again.
28	* William Dunbar of ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko'' is afraid of them. It isn't clear whether or not he is afraid of the virtual Tarantulas on Lyoko.
29	* ''WesternAnimation/FetchWithRuffRuffman'' In "Finding Eight-Legged Tights Isn't Easy", Ruff's afraid of spiders, because of Spotnik's [[PrankGoneTooFar Prank Gone Too Far]] that also head to him being afraid of ballet. Thankfully, Brian, Sterling, and Bethany helped Ruff overcome his phobias.
30	* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'', Elisa's mom, Diana, was faced with the spider god Anansi and his minions, causing her to say "Spiders! Why did it have to be spiders?"
31	* In ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'' Arnold's parents, who are homages to Indiana Jones, both have a fear of spiders.
32	* Norman from ''WesternAnimation/MightyMax''. There is a possible nod to this in the introduction, where every encounter Max faces in the introduction is handled by Norman. The only encounter Max directly deals with himself is the large spider. This is at least partly to do with [[spoiler:a prophecy that a spider would kill him, which happens in one of the final episodes]]. [[spoiler:If you knew that was going to happen, wouldn't ''you'' be antsy around arachnids?]]
33	* Salem on ''WesternAnimation/SabrinaTheAnimatedSeries'' faced a spider and nervously said, "[[AffectionateParody Why couldn't it be snakes? I like snakes.]]" But the desperate situation lent him the courage to shred the web and make the spider fall.
34	* Optimus Prime of ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'', though given [[TransformationTrauma what happened to Elita-1]], it's not exactly an irrational fear.
35	** Due to the same incident, Sentinel Prime became terrified of ''all'' things organic. He eventually got over it at least enough to leave the spaceship.
36	** [[WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime Miko]] would probably get along with Optimus rather well, then.
37	* Mike of ''WesternAnimation/MikeLuAndOg'' is afraid of spiders.
38	* In the ''WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse2013'' cartoon "[[Recap/MickeyMouseS2E6GoofysGrandma Goofy's Grandma]]", Goofy ends up disguising himself as his grandmother to crash at Mickey's because there is a spider in his house. To be fair, it is a really ''big'' spider.
39	* Billy of ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'' is shown to be terrified of spiders. This is, of course, a problem for his "son" [[GiantSpider Jeff]].
40	* In the ''WesternAnimation/DangerMouse'' episode "Aiaaagg! Spiders!", Penfold freaks out at a spider in the bathroom. Danger Mouse goes to take care of it, but the spider is much bigger than anticipated. In one episode the 2015 revival of the series "The World Wide Spider", Danger Mouse has a fear of spiders instead of Penfold, though it's the really big ones (capable of eating mice) he's really afraid of.
41	* Leni from ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' is deathly afraid of spiders. So is her father. He has the exterminator on ''speed dial''.
42	* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'': Leshawna, Cameron and Bowie are all established to be afraid of spiders. Cameron manages to get over it after having to face mutant GiantSpider (which turns out to be Izzy in a costume), but gains a new fear in the process - Izzy.
43	* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': Spike expresses a fear of spiders, notably in the episode "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E21EveryLittleThingSheDoes Every Little Thing She Does]]". In the same episode, Harry the Bear and the other animals are scared from seeing Fluttershy covered in bugs, too.
44	* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'': Buttercup's nightmare realm fear in the WhatDoTheyFearEpisode "Power-Noia" is of spiders. Blossom goads her into fighting back.
45	* Rubble of the ''WesternAnimation/PawPatrol'' often has to fight his biggest fear: spiders.
46	* The ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' special "[[Recap/PhineasAndFerbSaveSummer Phineas And Ferb Save Summer]]" reveals that Candace has been terrified of spiders since she was 5. [[spoiler:She eventually faces her fear with Phineas's encouragement.]]
47
48	[[AC:Insects (Entomophobia)]]
49	* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'': Steve is secretly afraid of moths. ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk'' gets a direct ShoutOut when Steve braves the highway on horseback and has to confront a swarm of them: "Moths! Why did it have to be moths?"
50	* In ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'', Billy is deathly afraid of bugs, including spiders. This naturally creates a very awkward situation when Jeff, a GiantSpider who thinks Billy is his father, shows up. (Billy overcomes his fear and reconciles with Jeff in the third full-length movie.)
51	* The eponymous ''WesternAnimation/EekTheCat'' is really afraid of bugs.
52	* WesternAnimation/KimPossible chews out Ron over complaining about a spider bite, however when a villain grows mutant cockroaches she has a very unKimlike freakout over how terrified she is of them. She's only okay with bugs when they're "little and flick-able." Ron on the other hand finds [[AllAnimalsAreDogs one giant Roach which acts more like a dog]] adorable and names it "Roachy".
53	* Rod and Todd Flanders of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' are afraid of moths and ladybugs.
54	* [[TheBigGuy T-Bone]] of the ''WesternAnimation/SWATKats'' is revealed to be afraid of bugs in the episode "The Ci-Kat-A". Watching a movie about killer space bugs didn't help. What emerges from a retrieved space capsule later in the day? Giant insectoid alien parasites.
55	-->'''T-Bone:''' Why did it have to be bugs?\
56	'''Razor:''' Just like that movie, T-Bone.
57	* The ''WesternAnimation/OggyAndTheCockroaches'' episode "Lightning Visit" subverts this. Oggy imagines his parents as having a fear of cockroaches, and worries that they'll leave if they catch sight of any of the cockroaches. [[spoiler:It turns out they don't have any entomophobia, though.]]
58	* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'': Bubbles is afraid of cockroaches and wasn't happy when she had to eat one while disguised as Boomer.
59	* Averted and subverted in Hyperion's series ''The Itsy Bitsy Spider'' (1993-95, USA cable channel, based on a 1992 theatrical short subject). Itsy is befriended by a little girl and is the target of fruitless pursuit and destruction by the little girl's teacher and a gung-ho exterminator.
60	* Raphael of ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012'' freaks out when he sees a Cockroach. Especially a giant mutant cockroach that wants to terminate him. He's not terribly fond of bugs in [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 the 2003 series]] either, as seen in "April's Artifact":
61	--> '''Raphael''' I ain't scared!I just hate bugs.\
62	'''Michelangelo''' What about that huge one crawling up your shell?\
63	'''Raphael''' Where?! Where?!
64	* On ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'', Beth is afraid of insects, especially the idea of being covered in them.
65	* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/CampLazlo'' showed that Raj was terrified of insects to the point where he bug-proofs the entire cabin after a moth enters it. However, he later [[spoiler:(temporarily)]] overcomes it when befriending [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter a cute elephant-like beetle]] he names "Elebug".
66	* In the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' short "Starlight the Hypnotist", Twilight is revealed to be massively terrified of... ladybugs. It's Shining Armor's fault - he pranked her by saying their spots were extra eyes.
67
68	[[AC:Mice & Rats (Musophobia)]]
69	* Mammy Two Shoes from the ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' shorts, as well as similar characters from various animation.
70	** One short, "Jerry-Go-Round", has a circus elephant afraid of Jerry, but grew to like him (and protective of him) after Jerry [[AndroclesLion pulled a tack off her foot]].
71	** Tom has an identical cousin who is also afraid of mice. Tom takes this as an opportunity to not only help his cousin face his fear, [[TeamRocketWins but to also successfully screw with Jerry's head.]]
72	* [[EekAMouse A common phobia of cartoon housewives in the 50s]].
73	* In ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'', Helga Pataki is deathly afraid of live rats, but only has sneering contempt for [[Theatre/{{Cats}} musicals starring people dressed in rat costumes.]]
74	* Casey Jones in ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012'' is terrified of rats, even to the point of fainting right in front of Master Splinter.
75	* The ''WesternAnimation/PawPatrol'' member who's afraid of mice is... [[IronicFear the team's only feline member, Wild Cat]].
76	* ''WesternAnimation/OggyAndTheCockroaches'': Along with his below-mentioned fear of heights, Oggy will flip out in panic at the sight of a mouse, as "The Intruder" demonstrates.
77
78	[[AC:Bats (Chiroptophobia)]]
79	* Hank Hill from ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'' is revealed to be deathly afraid of bats in "It Came from the Garage". When one shows up in his garage, he flees in terror and ends up locking Bobby inside with it (although ultimately, Hank's pride is hurt more than Bobby is by the incident). By the end, he manages to fight the fear long enough to save Bobby from sinking in a river while they were under a tunnel with hundreds of bats hanging from the ceiling.
80	* Pinkie Pie of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' might qualify; no less than one episode after singing a whole song about how she laughs at her fears, she freaks out when she mistakes a pair of tickets that landed on her nose for bats, somehow.
81	* Panthro from ''WesternAnimation/{{ThunderCats\|1985}}''.
82	* As an incredible irony, the Scarecrow apparently had this phobia from the start of his career in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries''. In the first episode where he appeared, he claimed that his fear serum caused a victim to envision his greatest fear. So what does it cause ''him'' to see when he is exposed to it by accident? Horrible, demonic bats.
83	* Gutsy in ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfsTheLegendOfSmurfyHollow'' encounters bats within the covered bridge that he crosses to get to Smurfy Hollow.
84	* April O'Neil from ''[[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012 TMNT 2012]]'' is terrified of bats. [[spoiler:This is because of her father becoming a bat mutant.]]
85	* Inez of ''WesternAnimation/{{Cyberchase}}'' is shown to have this fear in TheMovie; it appears to have replaced her previous fear of heights.
86	* In the 2006 revival of ''WesternAnimation/BikerMiceFromMars'', the episode "Biker Mice Down Under" reveals that Vinnie is afraid of bats.
87	* ''WesternAnimation/TheDeep2015'': In "Fossil", it is revealed that Ant is afraid of bats.
88	* On ''WesternAnimation/CasperAndTheAngels'', Hairy Scary is afraid of bats.
89
90	[[AC:Cats (Ailurophobia)]]
91	* Splinter has this phobia in ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987'', and you really can't blame him, seeing as he's a rat. His worst fears are realized when one of Shredder's experiments turns April into a feral CatGirl who fails to recognize him due to the stress of the transformation.
92	* The Little Dog in ''[[WesternAnimation/TwoStupidDogs 2 Stupid Dogs]]''.
93	* Peter Griffin of ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' is extremely freaked out by "that weird stretchy leg thing that cats do when they lick themselves."
94	* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'', the Professor starts dating Ms. Keane, but when he finds out she has a cat, he's quickly turned off, saying he doesn't like them because of how he was brainwashed by a cat villain [[ContinuityNod back in the first season]] (and his memories of the incident apparently returned).
95	* Massimo from ''WesternAnimation/ProducingParker'' is implied to have one in "Dog Dee Afternoon" as he sees one while running away from home and screams like a girl.
96	[[AC:Dogs (Cynophobia)]]
97	* Even though they are part of somewhere else, ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko'''s Aelita is scared of wolves.
98	* Mr. Herriman from ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'' is afraid of dogs. Considering he's an imaginary friend based on a prey animal, Herriman's fear is rather justified. It's so bad that he'll address Frankie by her nickname rather than "Miss Frances".
99	* Ray Rocket from ''WesternAnimation/RocketPower'' is terrified of dogs, particularly poodles.
100	* The ''WesternAnimation/CaptainSimianAndTheSpaceMonkeys'' episode "Mind Over Monkey" reveals that Spydor is afraid of pitbulls.
101
102	[[AC:Rabbits (Leporiphobia)]]
103	* ''[[WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012 Ultimate Spider-Man]]'': Nova's greatest fear are rabbits.
104
105	[[AC:Frogs & Toads (Batrachophobia)]]
106	* WC Moore from ''WesternAnimation/LittleElvisJonesAndTheTruckstoppers'' freaks out every time he sees one.
107	* Wayne Cramp from ''WesternAnimation/TheCrampTwins'' is afraid of most things from the swamp but runs for the hills whenever he sees a frog or toad.
108
109	[[AC:Bears (Arctophobia)]]
110	* ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'': Irwin has a fear of bears. This, combined with the telling of jokes to and audience, is his worst fear as revealed in ''Big Boogey Adventure''. Cue Horror's Hand conjuring it up for him.
111	* Phil Ken Sebben from ''WesternAnimation/HarveyBirdmanAttorneyAtLaw'' also has this fear, and is even voiced by Creator/StephenColbert. This isn't as much ActorAllusion as the actual Stephen Colbert really being afraid of bears.
112	* ''WesternAnimation/MollyOfDenali'': Trini is terrified of polar bears. She was worried that they were everywhere in Alaska like she was told, but luckily, they're not.
113	* Ikura from ''WesternAnimation/SushiPack'' has a fear of bears, including those that don't harm to him such as gummy bears. This makes sense, as salmon are part of a bear's diet.
114
115	[[AC:Birds (Ornithophobia)]]
116	* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'': Stan is afraid of seagulls.
117	* One ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' episode shows that Tyler is deathly afraid of chickens. This has him voted off the island, and on the boat of losers, he sees dozens of chickens and freaks out.
118	* ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'': "House of 1000 Bounces" reveals that Bob is afraid of pigeons due to an incident as a child where he was attacked by a flock of them in the attic of an abandoned house. Turns out, that never happened; he's just misremembering a scene from ''Film/TheBirds'' that freaked him out as a kid (as Linda puts it, "You think you're Tippi Hedren!"), and he eventually gets over his fear.
119	* Skye of ''WesternAnimation/PawPatrol'' is severely afraid of eagles -- being the smallest member of the team and the TokenFlyer would not make one a fan of large birds of prey.
120	* Nicky from ''WesternAnimation/PepperAnn'' is terrified of swans, thanks to a demonic-sounding swan toy her and her sister had as kids.
121	* Lime Chiffon from ''WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcakeBerryInTheBigCity'' that she’s scared of pigeons to Blueberry Muffin in order to help her conquer her fear of the Sweet Tooth Fairy. Lime is fine with other birds though, as she has a pet parrot named Parfait.
122
123	[[AC:Slugs & Snails (Molluscophobia)]]
124	* ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'': Elmyra, lover of all animals and things that are cute, hates slimey things, including slugs. She even whacks Plucky and Hampton when [[ItMakesSenseInContext she mistakes them for]] [[TeenageMutantSamuraiWombats giant slugs]].
125
126	[[AC:Other Animals]]
127	* Monkeys (Maimouphobia) -- Ron from ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible''. Especially difficult given the recurring monkey-themed super villain Lord Monkey Fist. For further irony, in the episode introducing Monkey Fist, Ron is granted the Mystical Monkey Power the villain sought.
128	* Twister from ''WesternAnimation/RocketPower'' develops a fear of giant monkeys in one episode.
129	* Music/{{Gorillaz}} singer/keyboardist 2D is deathly afraid of whales. As of current canon he's being held prisoner in a small underwater cell with a whale lurking outside the window.
130	* WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'s sister D.W. is terrified of octopuses.
131	* Scott from ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' is deathly afraid of sharks (galeophobia), which makes sense considering that he had a brush with Death after he got mauled by Fang, thereby scarring him. Even being near Fang is enough to put him in a blank state.
132	* Gretchen in ''WesternAnimation/CampLakebottom'' has a phobia about chipmunks, although she is seemingly cured by the events of "Cheeks of Dread".
133	* Vambre in ''WesternAnimation/MightyMagiswords'' was assaulted by a literal horde-wall of squirrels in her childhood. This explains her insanity and fear of squirrels.
134	* In ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown'', Omi is afraid of squirrels and Raimundo is afraid of jellyfish.
135	* In ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'', Della Duck has a fear of fish and anything fish-related. To the point where she prepared a submarine's torpedoes upon seeing Mervanans for the first time.
136
137	[[AC:Flying (Aviophobia) or Heights (Acrophobia)]]
138	* Ulrich from ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko'' -- though he's more exactly suffering from medical [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertigo vertigo]].
139	* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': Marge Simpson, though mostly due to the fact of discovering her father was an air steward rather than a pilot as she thought.
140	* ''WesternAnimation/TheBackyardigans'': Tasha during the episode "Chichen-Itza Pizza". During a song, she chants the following:
141	-->'''Tasha:''' ''Don't look down! Don't look down! Tasha, don't look down!''\
142	''Don't look down! Don't look down! Tasha, don't look down!''\
143	''Don't look down! Don't look down! Or you'll hit the ground!''
144	* Oggy from ''WesternAnimation/OggyAndTheCockroaches'' is shown to have been afraid of heights in the episode "The Rise and the Fall". This trait was later given to Jack in "The Lighthouse Keeper".
145	* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'''s Owen and Izzy are both afraid of flying. While Izzy did get over it by the time of ''World Tour'', Owen did not. Needless to say, the season wasn't much fun for him. And in ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaPresentsTheRidonculousRace'', it's shown that he still has a fear of flying, and has gotten himself a teddy bear to comfort him.
146	* Candace from ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' is known to be afraid of heights.
147	* Silverbolt, of the ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'', is the commander of the ''Aerialbots''. Just in case you can't parse the name: he transforms into a Concorde SST. Lampshaded in that the reason Optimus Prime made him commander of the Aerialbots was that Prime knew Silverbolt's worrying about their safety would keep his mind off it.
148	* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'', Chuckie develops a fear of heights after accidentally climbing the big kids' slide and finding himself ''way too high'' for his liking. The concept is played in an ''Webcomic/{{XKCD}}'' comic of a man who couldn't go down a slide because it looked so tall. As an adult, he revisits it, and is surprised to realize the slide really WAS that tall.
149	* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'': While not quite so extreme as to be a fear, Toph explicitly has a strong dislike for flying, because lack of contact with the ground leaves her fully blind.
150	* Before Mabel cured him, Grunkle Stan from ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' had a major fear of heights, to the point where he refused to allow a ladder in the house.
151	* Marc Clark of ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingSpiez'' though whether it was a CompressedVice is debatable since he had no problems with flying (in fact, he tends to fly the team's jet) and the problem was gone by the end of the episode.
152	* Buster of ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'':
153	-->'''Buster:''' ''(while on a plane)'' I hate flying, I hate flying, I hate flying, I hate flying...
154	* Inez of ''WesternAnimation/{{Cyberchase}}'' displays this fear on a number of occasions and has at least once outright stated "I hate heights!"
155	* Teslo from ''WesternAnimation/{{Mixels}}'', which doesn't help with the fact that he lives in a high mountainous region.
156	* ''WesternAnimation/PawPatrol's'' fire pup Marshall has no problem going up his ladder but is afraid of dangling from great heights such as when flying.
157	* In the ''WesternAnimation/AtomicBetty'' episode "Amulet Of Shangri La-De-Da" Sparky is revealed to have a fear of heights, which doesn't help when he's standing on a cloud formation high above the ground on a rescue mission.
158
159	[[AC:Water ([=Hydrophobia/Aquaphobia=])]]
160	* Alan Powers (The Brain), ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}''. He gets over it after falling into a fountain.
161	* Tommy Pickles, ''WesternAnimation/AllGrownUp'', "River Rats". He gets over it saving a drowning Phil. He did not possess this phobia [[WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}} as an infant]], though this is due to the incident happening when he was slightly older[[note]]According to the episode, Tommy was on a fishing trip with his grandpa when he was roughly around three or four years old, fell in the river by accident and almost drowned[[/note]].
162	* This is one of the two things that Dick Daring from ''WesternAnimation/TheReplacements'' is scared of.
163	* PlayedForLaughs in ''WesternAnimation/NatureCat''. Nature Cat, like most cats, is afraid of water.
164	--> "Why does it have to be water..."
165	* ''WesternAnimation/SuperMarioBrosDic'':
166	** Yoshi in the ''WesternAnimation/SuperMarioWorld'' cartoon is afraid of water. May have gotten a ContinuityNod later with the tendency of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'''s Yoshi to dissolve on contact with water.
167	** In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfSuperMarioBros3'', Mario become afraid of water after nearly drowning when he turned into a block of cement. But he overcomes it to save his friends and the underwater city.
168	* ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' character The Tasmanian Devil, namely in his series ''WesternAnimation/TazMania''. "Taz hate water! Taz hate water!"
169	* Archie from ''WesternAnimation/ClassOfTheTitans''.
170	* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'': "Ocean of Fear" reveals that Finn is unfathomably afraid of the ocean. Rivers, lakes, puddles, any other body of water is fine, his fear is specific to the ocean. He briefly conquers that fear in order to rescue Jake, and he gets over it completely when he slew [[ItMakesSenseinContext the Fear Feaster]] in "Billy's Bucket List".
171	* On ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'', Numbuh Four can't swim, so he's very afraid of water. Even after [[CharacterDevelopment he learns how]], he still avoids doing it whenever possible.
172	* In ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfTeddyRuxpin'', Grubby is afraid of the sea. This is due to an incident that occured when he was young, where, after saving his dad during a shipwreck, he fell overboard.
173	* Toph Bei Fong from ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' hates sailing for the same reason that she hates flying (see the section above).
174	* Oggy from ''WesternAnimation/OggyAndTheCockroaches'' becomes afraid of water in the episode "Deep End" thanks to the cockroaches sabotaging a nice bath of his by turning the water temperature to insane levels and deflating his floating ring. He can't even ''swim'' when Jack wants him to. [[spoiler: He however overcomes his fear at the end.]]
175	* Blackarachnia from ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'', due to her being half-organic, for some reason is afraid of water. It may be because, as part-organic, she's now capable of ''drowning.''
176	* Due to his [[BizarreAlienBiology biology]], ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' is burned by water, and is therefore afraid of it until he learns that [[ItMakesSenseInContext coating himself in paste]] protects him. In fanon, he's often shown as still having a phobia of water.
177	* In ''WesternAnimation/FantasticFourWorldsGreatestHeroes'', the Human Torch--perhaps unsurprisingly--does not like getting wet at ''all'', and hates undersea missions with a passion. {{Atlantis}} episodes are therefore something of a trial for him.
178	* In the second episode of ''WesternAnimation/SuperRobotMonkeyTeamHyperforceGo'', Chiro and Sparx are both revealed to have this fear. Both overcome it by the end of the episode.
179	* ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch'': Stitch is afraid of water mainly because of his inability to swim. His molecular structure makes his body extremely dense, so he sinks like a rock in water. Naturally, he ends up in Hawaii.
180	* T-Bone of the ''WesternAnimation/SWATKats'' because he can't swim. He gets over it just in time to save Razor from drowning.
181	* Teddy in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTales'' is afraid of water and later has to face his fear when his cousin becomes stuck in a rushing river.
182	* Zigzagged with the ''WesternAnimation/{{Visionaries}}'' character Galadria, who has a fear of tidal waves but is otherwise completely comfortable around water. Not to mention that she's one of the two Visionaries (the other being her enemy, Virulina) whose Totem animals are aquatic creatures.
183	* In ''WesternAnimation/BeCoolScoobyDoo,'' Velma is terrified of water. She's about to explain why, but since the Mystery Machine is flooding at the moment the rest of the gang cuts her off.
184	* Terence from ''WesternAnimation/{{Rubbadubbers}}'' is afraid of water, even though he's a crocodile.
185	* In ''WesternAnimation/SonicBoom'', Sonic's fear of water is on display in the episode "I Can Sea Sonic's Fear From Here" as the others attempt to get Sonic over this fear. In a case of SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome, the episode ends with his fear ''getting worse'' due to nearly drowning.
186	* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/OzzyAndDrix'', Hector nearly drowns in the local swimming pool, so the mayor of his body orders the brain to program a fear of water to keep the body safe. Hector eventually overcomes the fear despite his cells trying to keep it up.
187	* In ''WesternAnimation/TeamoSupremo'', Rope Girl reveals that she's "desperately" afraid of water, to the point that she has to bathe with ''sponges'' to avoid the bathtub.
188	* Poor Rocky of ''WesternAnimation/PawPatrol'' hates and fears nothing more than water. The oceanside town he lives in and nature of his work results in him getting dunked in or splashed with water almost every episode, and it takes the patience of a true saint to get him into a bathtub.
189
190	[[AC:Fire (Pyrophobia)]]
191	* In ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', Appa the Flying Bison grows a fear of fire in the episode "Appa's Lost Days".
192	* In ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' episode "Torch Song", singer Cassidy developed a fear of fire after her ordeal with her ex-boyfriend-turned-supervillain Firefly.
193	* Lumiere from ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'', despite being turned into a ''candlestick holder''. He's made of ''wax''. In fact, at one point in the film he's in severe danger of being melted because of somebody sticking a burning torch in his face.
194	* Shere Khan from ''WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook1967''. At the end of the film, Mowgli chases him away by burning off his tail. Unfortunately, it's revealed in [[WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook2 the sequel]] that burning off Khan's tail actually made him [[KnightOfCerebus even angrier...]]
195	* ''Anime/TransformersArmada'': Hot Shot, who was forced to leave a friend behind in a fire because he'd passed out from the heat.
196	* In a the second part of a two-part {{Cliffhanger}} episode of ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'', Hank was almost killed when [[spoiler:Buckley]] blew up the Megalo Mart after mishandling a propane tank, and he became deathly afraid of propane as a result, a ''very'' bad handicap for someone like him who has made a career out of selling it. Fortunately, he managed to get over it.
197	* Gor-illa is shown to have a crippling fear of forest fires in the ''WesternAnimation/CaptainSimianAndTheSpaceMonkeys'' episode "Mind Over Monkey".
198
199	[[AC:Darkness (Nyctophobia)]]
200	* One of Chuckie's top 3 fears on ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}''.
201	-->'''Chuckie:''' This isn't just regular-plain-old scary, Tommy. This is THE DARK!
202	* Toph from ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' was born stone blind so she only has theoretical knowledge of what darkness and[=/=]or it's absence even is. However her [[DisabilitySuperpower tremorsense]] is rendered useless when she is not in contact with earth, stone, or metal (as well as if the soles of her feet are covered or damaged) and she does not like such situations ''at all''.
203	* In ''WesternAnimation/SilverHawks'', Timestopper is terrified of the dark. In his case, it's because he can only use his [[TimeStandsStill time-freezing]] powers in the light, and he's nothing but a scrawny 14-year-old kid without them.
204	* Bubbles of ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'', which Him uses torment her in the WhatDoTheyFearEpisode.
205	* ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'': Sonya, the new recruit in the "Operation: T.R.A.I.N.I.N.G." is so afraid of the dark that when Father's Mooks threten to lock her up in a dark closet, her protests turn to screams, until she finally [[BerserkButton goes ballistic]], unleashing an angry and monstrous personality who mercilessly beats up her captors even as they beg for mercy. (The fight [[BattleDiscretionShot happened off-screen]], but the end result of the CurbStompBattle shows both Mooks, who are adults more than twice her size, badly bruised, with black eyes and knocked out teeth.)
206	-->'''Sonya''': (Coyly, as she stands on the beaten-up mooks) "I'm afraid of the dark."
207	* Despite being a tough army cadet, Brick from ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' is afraid of the dark. Naturally, his archenemy and resident bully Jo constantly ridicules him for it.
208	* Tony Clark of ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingSpiez''.
209	* Zaptor, Volectro, and Nurp from ''WesternAnimation/{{Mixels}}''. While the latter is a young baby, the former two are electric-based in their abilities.
210	* ''WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcake'': If you see the episode "Ginger Snap's No-light Night of Fright" from the 2003 series, Ginger Snap hates and fears the darkness to the point of wanting to miss out on a campout she was invited to, so she brings lots of lights to navigate the dark forest when she gets dragooned.
211	* A variation exists in ''WesternAnimation/SuperRobotMonkeyTeamHyperForceGo''. SPRX-77 loves being a fighter pilot, so his greatest fear is losing his eyesight, which is essential for a pilot.
212
213	[[AC:Ghosts (Phasmophobia)]]
214	* Shaggy and Franchise/ScoobyDoo.
215	* In ''WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget'', similar to the Franchise/ScoobyDoo "Velma too afraid of clowns to solve the case" example below, Penny and Brain are at first too afraid of ghosts to investigate MAD's base (and keep Gadget out of trouble) in "The Haunted Castle. Gadget, who doesn't share this fear, is actually pretty competent (proving he's not ''always'' TooDumbToLive) throughout the whole episode -- though, thanks to Gadget actually showing good parenting for once (part of that whole aforementioned "competence" bit), Penny quickly gets over her fear, and does her usual investigations herself. Still, the episode somewhat breaks type by having both Penny and Gadget solving the case.
216	* Yoshi is afraid of ghosts in the ''WesternAnimation/{{Super Mario World\|1991}}'' cartoon, a HandWave of his refusing to enter ghost houses in the actual game.
217	* Scootaloo in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' confesses to Rainbow Dash that she is afraid of ghost ''stories'' but did not want to admit it sooner for fear that she'd look uncool in front of her idol.
218	* Numbuh Three in ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' is afraid of the hamster ghosts that show up in Operation: G.H.O.S.T. (after she starts mourning too long over the death of one of the team's power-providing hamsters) but she does think they're cute.
219	* Strawberry Shortcake from the 2021 ''WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcake'' series has a fear of ghosts, which the Mean Berries use to their advantage so she would leave the Berryworks in "Ghost of Cupcakes Past" with a TotemPoleTrench. It returns in "The House on Scary Berry Lane" when she has to deliver to a haunted house, but this time Raspberry is helping her through it. It's a major subplot in "The Beast of Berry Bog", where she's hesitant to confront the titular monster, and has to learn to overcome her fear.
220	* ''WesternAnimation/SonicBoom'': Dr. Eggman is absolutely terrified of ghosts. Interestingly, there's no in-universe proof of ghosts even ''existing'' in this series (unlike the main game series, where they are occasionally enemies).
221	* The Hacker from ''WesternAnimation/{{Cyberchase}}'' becomes a stuttering mess at the sign of ghosts and flees like mad at the sight of them. Particularly, by the ghost of Ivanka the Terrible. There was even a few occasions the CyberSquad exploited Hacker's fear of ghosts to get him to leave.
222
223	[[AC: Clowns (Coulrophobia)]]
224	* Ben in ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}''. [[spoiler:He faced his fear eventually.]]
225	** Made worse when the MonsterOfTheWeek is a supernatural clown called Zombozo.
226	* Wakko Warner in ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}''. In Wakko's case, the ''clowns'' are the ones who will get the worst out of it. Mr. Plotz also has this phobia.
227	-> ''A clown is my friend. [[NoodleIncident A clown will not bite me and throw me in the basement.]] [[Literature/{{It}} A clown is not a big spider.]]
228	* Billy of ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'' thinks clowns are plotting to [[OverlyLongGag "DESTROY US ALL! DESTROY US ALL! DESTROY US ALL! DESTROY US ALL!"]] Likewise, in ''Big Boogey Adventure, Billy's given a [[MixAndMatchCritters spider clown mailman]] as a hybridization of all his fears courtesy of Horror's Hand. Since Billy must battle his own demons before touching the Hand, Mandy's laser rifle has no effect on said aberration.
229	* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': Bart Simpson suffered a temporary case of this when he was younger, no thanks to the badly-crafted clown bed that Homer made for him. Origin of the phrase, ''"[[MadnessMantra Can't sleep, clown will eat me.]]"''
230	-->"If you were to die before you sleep... '''''[[LaughingMad HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!]]'''''"
231	** Kinda doubles as an IronicFear, as he is a fan of Krusty the Klown.
232	* Tino from ''WesternAnimation/TheWeekenders'' had been afraid of clowns for a long time and just so happened to face his fear the week that... 1. They saw a movie titled ''Mutant Clowns from the HollowEarth'' 2. The Carnival was in town 3. Tino notices the arcade entrance has a clown face 4. The pizza place had a clown theme and 5. There were a bunch of clowns around (because there's a clown convention in town).
233	-->"Mutant clowns from the Hollow Earth! They're real!! ''WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!''"
234	* Dick Daring from ''WesternAnimation/TheReplacements''.
235	* Velma Dinkley in ''WesternAnimation/WhatsNewScoobyDoo'' at least due to a clown shredding her encyclopedia present on her birthday when she was little (He thought it was just a boring gift someone got her, not realizing she's a [[CuteBookworm bookworm]]). A MonsterClown showing up caused her to swap personalities with Shaggy (who was concentrating on winning a mini golf contest so he went all Velma-esque). They reverted eventually.
236	* Chuckie from ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'', although they come second to "the guy on the oatmeal box." One episode reveals that Didi is also afraid of clowns as she screams at one to get away from her at a carnival. The sequel series ''WesternAnimation/AllGrownUp'' reveals that Chuckie retains his fear of clowns well into his preadolescence. Which is pretty interesting, considering the fact that Chuckie has gotten over most of his other phobias by this point.
237	* Caillou's sister Rosie on ''WesternAnimation/{{Caillou}}'', but Caillou helps her to get over it.
238	* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'', Timmy admitted to being afraid of clowns.
239	* Jack Spicer from ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown'' was revealed by one of the {{big bad}}s to be afraid of clowns, complete with a visual aid. To be fair, they looked like {{monster clown}}s.
240	* Toaster, from ''WesternAnimation/TheBraveLittleToaster'', for some reason is actually afraid of a MonsterClown firefighter as revealed in a NightmareSequence he had about halfway through the film. For his other fear, see above.
241	* Creepie from ''WesternAnimation/GrowingUpCreepie'' is terrified of clowns. This being the girl that lives with bugs and relaxes in a graveyard.
242	* Marc Clark of ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingSpiez''. Unlike his fear of heights, it's never clarified if he ever gets over it.
243	* Post-Movie WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants seems to act this way towards clowns. He gathered the entire city of Bikini Bottom to help rescue Sandy from the Rodeo simply because "There are clowns there!"
244	* Lilo in ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitchTheSeries'' reveals this is one of her fears in the Halloween episode. Rather odd considering her love of monster movies.
245	* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/CampLazlo'' revealed that the titular monkey was afraid of clowns due to being scared by one on his fourth birthday. Of course, the problem is that Scoutmaster Lumpus has decided that every day at Camp Kidney will be ''Clown Day''.
246	* Spud in ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong'', due to an incident involving a Clowny [=McHonk-Honk=] parade balloon when he was 5.
247	-->'''Spud''': Me, 12 trombonists, and the Cable Access weather lady haven't been the same since.
248
249
250	[[AC:Other Phobias]]
251	* The ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'' episode "This Won't Hurt an Ed" reveals that Kevin has belonephobia (AfraidOfNeedles). Eddy uses that to his advantage.
252	* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'':
253	** A villain named Dr Light developed a severe phobia. A fear of Comicbook/{{Raven}}.
254	** Gnarrk, a Neanderthal, was exposed to the modern world. This left him with a severe technophobia (fear of technology) which remained with him until his meeting with the Teen Titans.
255	* The ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama''
256	** The episode "Phobia Factor" delved into the phobias of every cast member of ''Island (2007)''. Even tough guy Duncan revealed his secret fear: cardboard cutouts of Celine Dion.
257	** Jasmine of the ''Pahkitew Island'' season is extremely claustrophobic and loses her normal sense of confidence when she is forced to do some spelunking as part of one of the challenges.
258	** Various examples from ''Island (2023)''
259	*** Chase is stated to be afraid of catapult rides, being the only dare he has ever chickened out of in his life.
260	*** Caleb is afraid of both snakes and clowns, so one challenge has him face both fears at the same time in the form of a [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs snake dressed as a clown]].
261	*** Priya's biggest fears are thunder and lightning.
262	*** Julia is terrified of being surrounded by old people, as she thinks of them as a reminder for the "young and beautiful" [[{{Narcissist}} that their good looks will not last forever]].
263	*** Wayne has two: the first is [[HeterosexualLifePartners Raj playing for a different team]], and the second is his own hockey team's mascot. He does manage to get over both of his fears however.
264	* In ''WesternAnimation/TheReplacements'', Agent K suffers from crippling stage fright.
265	* Chuckie of ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' is anxious about many things; his fears include clowns, bunnies, green jello, shoes, and the guy on the oatmeal box. Oh, and [[EnfantTerrible Angelica]], but all the babies are afraid of her.
266	* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
267	** Homer Simpson is shown to have a crippling fear of sock puppets in the episode "Fear of Flying". Also, [[MemeticMutation cobras!!]]
268	** Due to some experiments conducted by Lisa, Bart once froze in fear when asked to get the cupcakes.
269	* The titular character on ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'' is afraid of pickles.
270	* Mandy from ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'' is afraid of professional figure skaters (although she insists she just "doesn't trust the way they spin"). Billy confronts her on this fact when she says his fear of clowns (see above) is stupid. (And frankly, he kinda has a point...) Horror's Hand in ''Big Boogey Adventure'' conjures up something worse for her: a future Mandy that is obese, mirthful, and married to Irwin. ''[[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl Mandy is scared shitless.]]''
271	** Jack O'Lantern, an antagonist of a Halloween special, is terrified of knights since he was killed by one centuries ago. When he thinks that knight has returned for him, he's too terrified to do anything, despite having Grim's Scythe in hand.
272	* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}'', Toki is afraid of bicentennial quarters.
273	* ''WesternAnimation/MoralOrel'' has Clay's mother fearing for the word "dead", including the words with the -ded suffix.
274	* Lydia's father in the ''WesternAnimation/{{Beetlejuice}}'' cartoon is afraid of...well, everything.
275	** In the episode “Generally Hysterical Hospital” it’s revealed that Lydia herself is afraid of hospitals. She gets over it by the end, though.
276	* In ''WesternAnimation/TheRescuers'', the extremely superstitious Bernard is afraid of [[ThirteenIsUnlucky the number 13]]. He's also afraid of flying.
277	* In ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'', all the robots, but particularly [[TheBigGuy Bulkhead]], are afraid of scraplets, whipping out their weapons at the sight of ''one''. But considering they're essentially the robot equivalent of ''flying piranha'', it's not an ''irrational'' fear.
278	* ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' brings us a child who is an obvious parody of ''Franchise/IndianaJones'' (complete with whip and boulder chase sequence), who harbors a hatred of [[{{Pun}} milkshakes.]]
279	* Tantor from ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfTarzan'' has pantophobia ("fear of everything").
280	* ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'':
281	** In the same episode that showed Hank's fear of bats, Bill was claimed to have a fear of balloons.
282	** Dale Gribble is afraid of ventriloquist dummies, due to his father scaring him with one as a child.
283	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'':
284	** Bender reveals that he's afraid of can openers, [[NoodleIncident claiming that one killed his father]]. This fear proves to be justified when a can opener almost leaves him permanently paralyzed.
285	** Fry appears to have a fear of parade size balloons...until quickly gotten over it by Bender.
286	* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Popples}}'', Billy says he is afraid of the dentist.
287	* In addition to clowns, [[WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents Timmy Turner]] is creeped out by bare feet. Which he may have developed from rubbing his grandma's feet.
288	-->''It burns!''
289	* Vendetta from ''WesternAnimation/MakingFiends'' has a hatred of music (melophobia). There's a big zig-zag in how extreme it is; she hates Charlotte's singing, but sometimes [[VillainSong she will sing herself]] (and very badly). In the last three episodes of the web series, she seems to be ''traumatized'' by music playing from a card, firing her assistant Grudge [[ItMakesSenseInContext because it keeps playing when he burps]]. When her new assistant Rubella gives her a musical bear, Vendetta falls to the ground writhing in pain. In the TV series, she seems to hate music mostly because [[CardCarryingVillain it's happy and she hates happy things.]]
290	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'': Sterling Archer has three great fears. Two of them are alligators and crocodiles. The third? Brain aneurysms, because they strike anywhere, without warning. He also has an intense distrust/hatred of cyborgs that borders on a phobia, due to what he believes is the inevitability of the [[RobotWar robot uprising]].
291	* Wade Duck on ''[[WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends U.S. Acres]]'' is afraid of 614 things.
292	* Stanley Straines from ''WesternAnimation/StainesDownDrains'' has a phobia about dirt and germs. It should be noted that most episodes are set in a sewer.
293	* In ''WesternAnimation/ACharlieBrownChristmas'', Charlie Brown claims to have pantophobia (the fear of everything).
294	* Trina Riffin from ''WesternAnimation/{{Grojband}}'' has automatonophobia (the fear of puppets) ever since she was a child.
295	* The last season of ''{{WesternAnimation/Superfriends}}'' had an episode where Scarecrow discovers Batman has a fear of Crime Alley. Scarecrow doesn't know ''why'' he's afraid of it (it's where Bruce Wayne's parents were murdered), but since he's never seen Batman show fear of ''anything'' else before, he's quick to take advantage of it.
296	* In ''WesternAnimation/MyGymPartnersAMonkey'', Principal Pixiefrog is ''paranoid'' about lawsuits. (Not surprising, as his school is clearly not up to code.)
297	* Blossom's worst fear on ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' is failure -- understandable, given that she's TheLeader who's most proud of her intelligence.
298	* ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'':
299	** Numbuh Four appears to have hemophobia (fear of blood) in "Operation: SAFETY", freaking out when he thinks his baby brother Joey is bleeding (even though it's just ketchup) and fainting when he sees that he has real blood on his knee.
300	* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyG3'': Thistle Whistle, a Pegasus, is afraid of ''clouds.'' (For extra irony, at one point she talks about it to ''Cloud'' Climber.)
301	* In the ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' episode "Little Gift Shop of Horrors", Mabel is revealed to have an irrational fear of stop-motion animation.
302	-->'''Mabel:''' The Cyclops! Its face is made of nightmares!
303	* Lee Clark of ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingSpiez'' is claustrophobic; naturally he ''hates'' being shut up in glass containers (which happens [[BadassInDistress a]] [[DistressedDude lot]]).
304	* Skrubz from ''WesternAnimation/{{Mixels}}'' is terrified of medical procedures. Unfortunately, he happens to be part of the [[TheMedic Medix]] tribe.
305	* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Fangbone}}'' episode "The Cavity Of Terror", it's revealed that Fangbone is afraid of dentists (or, as they're known on Skullbania, "[[CallARabbitASmeerp Toothsmiths]]").
306	* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'': In "Wormy", Sponge and Pat are afraid of butterflies. Having never seen one and not knowing how they work, they mistake one for some kind of monster that ate Sandy's pet caterpillar Wormy, not realizing that the butterfly ''is'' Wormy.
307	** "Fear of a Krabby Patty": [=SpongeBob=]'s fear of Krabby Patties after working too much.
308	* For some reason, in Will You Be My Lemontine? from the 2021 ''WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcake'' series, the mechanic, Lemon, hates the colour pink, which led to Sweetie Pie's Day[[note]]Valentine's Day[[/note]] becoming her least favourite holiday.
309	* Aside from Spydor and Gor-illa's fears listed under the Dogs and Fire sections, the ''WesternAnimation/CaptainSimianAndTheSpaceMonkeys'' episode "Mind Over Monkey" reveals that Dr. Splitz' split personality Splitzy is afraid of being locked in a cage, Shao Lin is afraid of being forcefully taken from her loved ones, and Captain Simian is afraid of letting his team down.
310	* ''WesternAnimation/MiloMurphysLaw'': Due to having been a WalkingDisasterArea his whole life, Milo is extremely nonchalant in most dangerous situations, but has a fear of Chinese finger traps (though he got over it once Melissa showed him how they work).
311	* Another fear that Twilight Sparkle of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' has is a fear of ''quesadillas''. Apparently, they're just too ''cheesy''.
312	* Catflap from ''WesternAnimation/{{Gasp}}'' is a triskaidekaphobe; i.e. afraid of Friday the 13th. In "Lucky Guppy!", Gasp discovers this and he and the pets look for a lucky charm to get her through it.
313	* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/StaticShock'' we learn that Hotstreak is terrified of hospitals, due to an incident that left him hospitalized for ''two years'' when he was a kid.
314	* ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'': According to "The Richest Duck in the World", Della Duck is terrified of mirrors. This is because, desperate for the sight of another person, she initiated a staring contest for three weeks with her reflection. She doesn't want to look at another mirror because she doesn't want to see ''her''.
315	* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Sixteen}}'' featured a blood drive at the mall. All of the main characters agree to donate, but Jonsey chickens out. At first, the friends wonder if Jonsey's AfraidOfNeedles, but then realize he's afraid of the sight of blood (hemophobia) when he freaks out at seeing Nikki's blister bleed.
316	* WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcakeBerryInTheBigCity:
317	** Lemon Meringue has Glossophobia, the fear of public speaking, and refuses to do anything that involves talking to a crowd. In “All About Lemon”, she can barely utter a single word during her interview and has to rely on Strawberry to speak for her.
318	** Huckleberry Pie has Samhainophobia, and can barely function during Fright-Fall. In "The Beast of Berry Bog", it gets to the point where simply wearing a "costume" (literally just fake eyebrows) causes him to fear he'll suffer a Death of Personality.
319	** “Night of the Sweet Tooth Fairy” reveals Blueberry Muffin has Dontineraiphobia, aka the fear of the Sweet Tooth Fairy[[note]]basically just the tooth fairy, but instead of money they place candy under your pillow[[/note]]. As she puts it, there’s nothing “sweet” about a magical being who breaks into your house while you’re sleeping and steals your teeth. Blueberry manages to conquer her fear by the end, but it’s ambiguous if this is because she actually met the Sweet Tooth Fairy and learned she’s not that bad, or because she met Lime’s dad trying to put the candy under Lime’s pillow and learned the fairy wasn’t real.
