- Subverted in these two Dominic Deegan strips. At first it seems everyone's just being cautious, given how deceptive appearances can be on the Wild Edge.

- Kevin & Kell
- Coney Dewclaw might as well be the Trope Codifier. Nobody who doesn't know her beforehand would be able to tell via looks alone that her mother is not only a wolf, but a top-notch hunter. She definitely got her appetite from the same, having left a long trail of the blood and bones of anybody who has attempted to prey on her, her family and her friends in her wake. The picture at the top of the main page might as well be a real-life image of what she is capable of. She has directly saved her siblings, her father, her grandmothers, her grandfather, the entire Rabbit Council, R.L., and many others in separate incidents via her skills/appetite.
- Her dad, Kevin, might count as well, but in the more traditional metaphorical version of the trope. He's three times the size of any other rabbit we've seen in the strip (including his parents and sisternote ) and mostly muscle (in fact, he used to have a side job as a masked wrestler).

The last panel shows a bunch of lawn flamingos on an assembled T-Rex skeleton, explaining where the artist got the idea.
- Voodoo Doll in The Repository of Dangerous Things. Little. Funny. Quiet. Won't get in the way. Does not object when grabbed and carried. But throwing it around is a really bad idea. Even for a vampire.

When he got swallowed whole by a xenomorph-like alien, he burst out of its chest. He's stronger than an adult human, very fast and almost impossible to hit, and a master knife fighter, as well as being almost utterly evil.
- Also in Sluggy Freelance there's "The Evil", 18 (6 + 6 + 6) "demon kittens" with Nigh-Invulnerability, Super-Speed and super-ripping-you-apart-abilities that go on a killing spree if they have not had milk in the last 24 hours. Of course, these kittens are literally the spawn of Satan. They show up in two stories found here and here.

- And Quentyn Quinn, Space Ranger lampshades it about the title character's own race to a guard suffering from Suicidal Overconfidence...
Quentin: You know, Groonch, there is an old saying in the seven systems about an unarmed Racoonan... pity you never heard it.- Alternatively, the Redcaps, who bear a marked resemblance to the little dancing mushrooms from Fantasia, till the needle-sharp claws and fangs come out and they leap into your face. Those bright red "mushroom caps" they wear are actually BLOOD SACS, and they've been known to drain an ox dry of blood in moments...
- VG Cats had fun with usual Rat Stomp grade adventure running into less than obvious monster variations. Leo just had to say he's "on a roll today".
- Goblins of Yet Another Fantasy Gamer Comic created a funny midget direwolf breed, Wargi. The little bastards are nastier than they look. And their cuteness is weaponized too.
