* ''ComicBook/{{Plush}}'': Edie's fursuit comes with a bell around the neck, the ringing of which usually signals to a victim of her approaching, usually seconds before she massacres them. This turns against her in the final issue, however; Because the bell works off intimidation and the victim not knowing about it beforehand, it needs to work the first time. Once Brottman learns it, he learns to associate it with an incoming attack, and her second attempt to kill him results in his [[spoiler: shooting her point blank.]]

* The bell Digory just ''[[SchmuckBait has]]'' to ring in ''Literature/TheMagiciansNephew''. Not only for what it causes, but the way it sounds: a sweet note which gets louder and louder, instead of dying away, and one of its ''lesser'' causes is for some of the walls of the building to collapse.
