* Piffany of ''{{Nodwick}}'' often uses holy water against monsters, usually through her trusty H2Oly Sacred Soaker. Though once, when she was driving an enormous angel mecha against a giant demon, they had her say "Bless You" to a sneezing Nodwick, turning the lake he was standing in into holy water. Then she cannonballed into the lake.

* The 'Frogs' in ''[[SpacePatrol Raumpatrouille]]'' can live in vacuum just fine and aren't bothered by energy weapons (at least not the small portable models used by humans in the setting), but ''oxygen'' is lethal to them. This is why they bothered to depressurize the human outpost where they are first encountered instead of simply leaving it as-is, which in turn is what eventually clues the protagonists in to their Achilles' heel.
