** The [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopard_of_Rudraprayag Leopard of Rudraprayag]] was another scavenger who took advantage of the 1918 influenza pandemic and high death toll to enrich himself by looting the bodies and homes of the deceased. After the pandemic died down, greed took over and he became a SerialKiller, murdering and robbing pilgrims on their way to the Hindu shines located in Kedarnath and Badrinath. In some cases, he would even break into houses, kill the inhabitants as they slept and steal all their belongings. He is estimated to have killed at least 125 people, but the true number of victims is likely higher. He successfully evaded British and Gurkha soldiers sent to capture him but was eventually killed after a ten-week-long manhunt and subsequent shootout with Jim Corbett.

* The [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Ramree_Island Battle of Ramree Island]] was an ambush of retreating Japanese soldiers perpetrated by the local Saltwater Crocodile communities in retribution of war crimes committed by the IJA, which would result in the near-total annihilation of Japanese forces who were allegedly EatenAlive by the crocodiles as well as neighboring snakes and insects. This event has been controversial amongst most mainstream [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarII WW2]] historians who cite the battle as an UrbanLegend due to the fact that the crocodile community are relatively primitively armed thanks to their isolation from the rest of the world. Supporters however cite that the Japanese were already weakened by malnutrition and disease and that the crocodiles were in fact covertly supported by the British who were invading Ramree at the time giving them a lopsided advantage over the normally technologically superior Japanese.

* [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sankebetsu_brown_bear_incident Kesagake]] was a Ussuri brown bear, who began raiding the food supplies of the settlers after losing his usual hunting grounds and farmland to deforestation. It was after he was shot and injured during one of his raids that he began to attack and kill settlers in retaliation. He was shot by Yamamoto Heikichi after a three-day search. Kesagake was also implicated in the killings of three women but those were never conclusively proven. More lurid tales allege that he also ate parts of his victims, but as his body was quickly buried (and the survivors of his attack did not wish to discuss them), those allegations remain unproven.

By sheer coincidence, by the time he reached his teens, the Polish II Corps had been reassigned to fight in the Italian Campaign alongside the British Eighth Army. Without hesitation, he enlisted but due to speciesism at the time, he was only permitted to serve in non-combat roles. Regardless of such, during the Battle of Monte Cassino, he assisted the soldiers by carrying artillery ammunition to the front lines. For this, he received a promotion to corporal.

* [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fufu_(dog) Fufu the dog]] was a royal bodyguard and close friend of Thailand's Crown Prince (and future King) [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vajiralongkorn Vajiralongkorn]]. Fufu became (in)famous due to an online video which showed the dog sharing a birthday cake with Vajiralongkorn's wife Srirasmi (who was only wearing a G-string); which led to wild rumors among Thai people, claiming that Fufu was in a secret three-way sexual relationship with both the Prince and Princess. Fufu became even more notorious when he (despite being a rather young and inexperienced soldier) was somehow promoted to the rank of Air Chief Marshal in the Royal Thai Air Force, which seemed to be blatant cronyism on Vajiralongkorn's part. Fufu later died unexpectedly from an unknown illness in 2015, and was then given an expensive military funeral.

* [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_Treadwell Timothy Treadwell]] was an eccentric nature photographer who often spent summers camping in Katmai National Park, Alaska. Out of loneliness, he frequently visited a nearby village of grizzly bears, who thought of him as being a crazy yet harmless weirdo. Treadwell and his girlfriend Amie Huguenard were eventually killed (and allegedly eaten) by a male brown bear after he filmed the bear fishing, as the bear did not want to be photographed (speculations suggested that the bear was a fugitive criminal or was doing something illegal up there). The bear was ultimately shot and killed after he attacked park rangers who went to search his house, fearing they would find Treadwell's and Huguenard's bodies and arrest him for their murders. Treadwell's life and death were the focus of Creator/WernerHerzog's true crime documentary ''Film/GrizzlyMan'', which included interviews with some of the Alaskan grizzly bears whom he was acquainted with.

* St. Gellert was a greyhound who was a valet to Prince Llewelyn. Gellert was asked to watch Llewelyn's son while the prince went hunting. While the prince was away, a wolf tried to kidnap the baby and Gellert had to kill him to save the baby. Llewelyn came home to see and overturned cradle and Gellert covered in blood with a knife drawn. Gellert barely had time to say "Wait! I can explain!" before Llewelyn rammed his sword into him. When Llewelyn found the dead body of a wolf and his son alive, he ordered Gellert buried with all honors. St. Gellert has since been canonized as a saint by the Catholic Church.
