Line 197:
** In the third book, Malfoy openly insults a hippogriff even though it is very large, very dangerous, understands everything you say and will turn hostile if you don't treat it with proper respect. Yes, let's ignore the words of the teacher who has ''spent his entire life'' working on magical beasts, there's obviously no situation that cannot be improved with a dash of spiteful arrogance. Insulting ''always'' works.
*** In his defense, ''[[Wounded Gazelle Gambit|it did]]''.
**** ... by pure luck, because if that hippogriff's attack had landed three inches
* In the book '''Benvenuto''' by [[Epunymous Title|Seymour Reit]], the titular dragon, belonging to a boy named Paolo, is bullied by an older boy named Roy Selby. When Paolo tells Roy to lay off Bevenuto, Roy is all too eager to beat up Paolo. And the dragon, despite his small size, starts dishing out firey retribution to Roy for picking on his friend!
* Occurrs in the backstory to ''[[The Belgariad]]''; Gorim bullies UL, hinted at being that universe's equivalent of God, into accepting him and his people.
