* [[The Napoleon|A very small character]] dubbed "Super Gnat" is [[Berserk Button|notorious for starting fights with colleagues]] in the novel ''[[PhulesPhule's Company]]'', and this is a common way to deal with her until she calms down. (She's actually a martial arts expert, but only fights well when she's calm.)
