• John Wesley Weasel during the battle with the basilisks, after the Wee Widow Mouse is killed. He kills thousands of basilisks by himself, fueled by pure rage, and it takes nothing less than the intervention of The Dragon to stop him.
• Chauntecleer's battle with Cockatrice. Especially when he keeps struggling bravely up every time Cockatrice strikes him.
• Chauntecleer's last battle against the wolves in The Book of Sorrows.
• Chalcedony gets one when she holds off and fights Notos in The Book of Sorrows, while she is weakened by sickness and starvation. Then John Wesley Weasel takes over, and kills Notos, an adult wolf larger than he is, in single combat.
