** HoYay version: in the Christmas/New Years 2010 Special, Finland snapped when his partner Sweden (who refers to him as "his wife") was hit with TheWorfEffect and managed to put up a fight afainst his attacker. [[spoiler: Too bad he got caught too.]]

** And this totally works in reverse, as well. Mulder and Scully are each other's [[BerserkButton]].

* Lord Byron's explanation in ''[[LordByronsDonJuan Don Juan]]'' for why a WomanScorned is more dangerous than a mamaBear could also apply to a Violently Protective Girlfriend:

* In Tamora Pierce's ''Emperor Mage'' (Immortals #3) Daine [[spoiler: believes Numair has been executed by the Carthakis and proceeds to go on a rampage, reanimates a bunch of dinosaur skeletons, and raze the ''entire Imperial Palace''.]] When confronted later, she says "I thought you were dead. I lost my temper."

Sometimes, if she herself doesn't treat her boyfriend exceptionally well, there can be a variant what can be summed up as, "Hey, nobody picks on him but me."

-->'''Ally''': Listen hard, you cradle-rapin' [[StrategicFStrike fuck!]] Hit "Undo" or I'm shovin' bone splinters from y'r nose straignt into y'r precious brain!

* [[AxisPowersHetalia "Seize vital regions, seize vital regions... CRUSH PRUSSIA, CRUSH PRUSSIA!!]] Really, people, don't mess with Austria unless you want his HotAmazon girlfriend/wife Hungary to pound you.

* ''BlackLagoon'': As far as [[{{HeroicSociopath}} Revy]] is concerned, harming Rock in any manner is punishable by a disproportionate beat down for a first offense, and death for a second (or even for a first if it's severe enough).

* Senjougahara of {{Bakemonogatari}} swore that if Araragi was killed she would go on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge on his killer.

* [[{{Naruto}} Hinata Hyuuga]] might have a streak like this(although she isn't actually Naruto's girlfriend), as shown in Chapter 437. Subverted as it [[{{Understatement}} didn't turn out so well]]. The results of that chapter were a legendary firestorm of fan rage (that burned even here), an UnstoppableRage that would make TheIncredibleHulk seem calm, and a NiceJobFixingItVillain moment.

* While [[VampirePrincessMiyu Larva]] is more of Miyu's BattleButler than boyfriend, do ''not'' think of harming him. Miyui will, in her own words, [[TranquilFury "turn you into ashes"]] for hurting her faithful and devoted companion.

* Although she's not his girlfriend anywhere but in her own mind(where she believes they are engaged) {{One Piece}}'s Boa Hancock gets VERY upset when someone threatens Luffy. When Smoker attacked Luffy, she threatened to rip him to pieces and feed him to wild dogs.

* [[AxisPowersHetalia "Seize vital regions, seize vital regions... CRUSH PRUSSIA, CRUSH PRUSSIA!!]] Really, people, don't mess with Austria unless you want his HotAmazon girlfriend/wife Hungary to pound you. See the picture above!

A violently protective girlfriend essentially acts like a much younger MamaBear, except her {{berserk button}} is harm to her mate rather than to the kids. This is common with an ActionGirl, HotAmazon, CuteBruiser or LadyOfWar. A NonActionGuy or dudes otherwise incompetent in combat seem to attract these women.

Compare to UnderstandingBoyfriend for the NonActionGuy [[InvertedTrope inverted variant]], and ActionGirlfriend.
