The current image of Takes One to Kill One, while evocative, is not an actual example, as both combatants can be killed with regular heavy weapon fire. There isn't even any "melee damage bonus" to attacking each other, just a cool Coup de Grâce Cutscene.

The game is not even in the example list, with good reason since everything can just be gunned down.

While I search for a good replacement, we should pull the current if it's not an example.

Edit: Tried to search around, but Google Images wasn't reliable. At least I found this. It's a trading card, but this one's indicated to be weak to its own type. Does this work?

[down][down] In my defense, I did try finding an image of two Dragon types or two Ghost types attacking each other with appropriate typed moves. Google images did not interpret that, and occasionally I'll get Fairy types thrown in, even if I typed "-fairy", while searching for the Dragon version, or just random images of Pokémon with no fighting whatsoever. [tdown] So I resorted to something that I think is alright at best. Hopefully someone can suggest better. Otherwise, I'll be fine with BUPKIS.

Pulling the current one seems like a good idea. Can't think of a good replacement right now.

It took me a while to see that only its type can defeat it. Besides, the actual image on the card doesn't show anything but a Dragonite; it's Pretty Much Just a Face and a Caption. Also, I support the pull.

Maybe this? It's Supergirl using one Worldkiller's claws to gut another Worldkiller.

[up]That's pretty good. It's at least better than anything else suggested.

This trope probably needs a comic to get the point across, but 6 doesn't cut it because the creatures don't look similar.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?

Seconded. As somee unfamilar to the series, I cannot see how it could illustrate the trope. [tdown]

Seems a bit better. Not optimal, but it works.

The 30 Days pic is good enough to use.

Not really a fan, but it's usable enough that I don't need to say BUPKIS.

Not a fan of 12.

So from Jurassic World, T-rex fighting Indominus-rex [1].

[2] Scars are shown, so fighting isn't only implied or [3]

Also maybe something from how to train your dragon 2 when those two gigantic dragons were fighting.

Edit: Maybe [4], [5].

^ Those show creatures of the same kind fighting each other. They do not show creatures of the same kind killing each other.

[1], Better? Dinosaurs are well known and their sheer size makes it obvious that nothing else can kill it, also the killing part is obvious in this photo.

19.2 wasn't shown for some reason, so [2], the bitten tail and the scars show that it is a fight to the death but i get it if it isn't enough.

19.4 also shows one of the dragons killing the other one.

^ They still don't show how a member of a fantasy species is specifically vulnerable to one of their own kind. Having one vampire not merely hurt, but actually kill another vampire with his bare hands is far and away stronger on that front, as the default depiction for them is "Nigh-Invulnerable to anything except sunlight or a stake".

I don't like the idea of using dragons or dinosaurs. They're just big, and traditionally killable with human weapons.
