* Miranda Deegan of ''Webcomic/DominicDeegan'' is one of the most powerful mages in the world most of the time. When her family or students are threatened, however, she is completely unstoppable. The necromancer Rilian once took advantage of this - he betrayed the Deegans' location to his age-old enemy, Helixa, knowing that Miranda would never let her lay a finger on them. He was right; Miranda killed Helixa (with ''her bare hands''), and although [[DeathIsCheap it didn't take]], she made a point of finishing her off the next time they met.
** She took an infernomancer who tormented a ''friend'' of her son (the title character) and opened his mind to a world of arcane torture. And then she banished him to approximately the other side of the universe. This infernomancer had just attacked a classroom full of her students (she's the headmistress of the local Hogwarts) and killed three of them, though, so it's still valid.
* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' [[spoiler:Abraham]] knowing that his opponent is half-human and half-''immortal'', saw only one implication, and mostly wrong one. The prospect of facing said immortal's reaction after he left her child within a hair's breadth of death somehow escaped his attention in all this haste. Immortals [[ObstructiveCodeOfConduct cannot interfere directly]], but she's free to try killing him with mortals' hands...Isn't it surprising -- where all those heavy boots flying toward his butt suddenly came from?

** Von Pinn. Unusually for Mama Bears, her charges are genuinely and justifiably ''terrified'' of her- largely because they understand how prone she is to violence and overkill--she is introduced trying to encourage safe behaviour in a young woman whom she is [[NeckLift holding off the ground by the neck]]. However, she has never actually hurt any of the students, and nearly has a breakdown when the only way to keep one group of students safe is to go through another one. She also reveals that she was supposed to keep Agatha "safe" primarily in the sense of "preventing her from posing a danger to others."

According to V, that's nearly a quarter of all [[spoiler:black dragons]] on the planet. This will ensure that no one in her family will come after V's mate and children again. Unfortunately, now V has pissed off Tiamat, the [[CycleOfRevenge goddess of evil dragons.]] What's more, V [[spoiler:inadvertently caused the death of many ''humans'' whose only crime was that they bore the child of a dragon (or hybrid thereof), or were related by blood to such a person, etc., etc. Vaarsuvius suffered a Villainous BSOD over that.]]
** And, because we're not sure exactly what gender V or V's mate possesses, another MamaBear moment goes to V's mate, who, after witnessing and perfectly understanding the above attack, still stands between V and their children holding only a ''stick.'' Inkyrius is specifically noted to be a noncombatant (a baker, to be precise) with only NPC class levels.
horrific results.

When her family or students are threatened, however, she is completely unstoppable. The necromancer Rilian once took advantage of this - he betrayed the Deegans' location to his age-old enemy, Helixa, knowing that Miranda would never let her lay a finger on them. He was threatened by bounty hunters.right; Miranda killed Helixa (with ''her bare hands''), and although [[DeathIsCheap it didn't take]], she made a point of finishing her off the next time they met.
** She took an infernomancer who tormented a ''friend'' of her son (the title character) and opened his mind to a world of arcane torture. And then she banished him to approximately the other side of the universe. This infernomancer had just attacked a classroom full of her students (she's the headmistress of the local Hogwarts) and killed three of them, though, so it's still valid.

However, she has never actually hurt any of the students, and nearly has a breakdown when the only way to keep one group of students safe is to go through another one. She also reveals that she was supposed to keep Agatha "safe" primarily in the sense of "preventing her from posing a danger to others."
** Castle Heterodyne shows a warped version of Mama Bearness (or PapaWolf; it doesn't really have a gender) towards its Heterodynes.
