Line 105:
* [[Big Bad|Sunday]] from ''[[The Man Who Was Thursday]]''.
* Hern Heslin, in ''[[The Duel of Sorcery Trilogy]]'', is described several times as short and pudgy. The first time you see him, he's tied up...but not for long. After freeing himself, he quickly outmaneuvers and kills a bad guy who's much taller and trimmer. He ends up repeating both feats in ''Moonscatter''.
* In [[Glen Cook]]'s ''Dread Empire'' books, Mocker is noted for being very fat—and one of the deadliest swordsmen alive. His comrade Bragi Ragnarson, described as a giant of a man from a land of [[Horny Vikings]], flinches when Mocker threatens him.
* In the [[Star Wars]] book ''The Planet of Twilight'' there is a Hutt who uses a lightsaber quite effectively against Leia. She even comments to herself about how fast he can move for such a massive creature. He of course loses, leading to a very squicky description of what happens to a Hutt's body when it's sliced open by a lightsaber.
* Sergeant Garcia from the [[Zorro]]-stories is a good swordsman and strong, agile and fit enough to be a credible threat to The Fox himself. He is also a distinctly pudgy [[Big Eater]].
