A [[Sidekick]] with a peculiar twist: presumably to serve as a [[Foil]] to a brave (or cocky) hero, they're so yellow that one has to wonder how the heck they ended up in the adventure business in the first place. The Cowardly Sidekick is often what happens when the [[Plucky Comic Relief]] isn't so... well, plucky. Anything but, in fact.
Line 28:
* Malak the thief in ''[[Conan the Barbarian|Conan the Destroyer]]''.
* Snails in ''[[Dungeons and Dragons (film)|Dungeons and Dragons]]''.
* The [[Uncle Tomfoolery|black servant]] in various [[Haunted House]] movies of [[The Thirties]] and [[The Forties]]. Putting aside [[Unfortunate Implications]], one could call them [[Only Sane Man|sensible]] rather then cowardly; when they say "Feets do yo stuff!" running is usually a ''really'' good option.
* Herman "Fergie" Ferguson in ''[[Judge Dredd (film)|Judge Dredd]]'', after he and the title character escape the air transport wreck together.
* Ruby Rhod in ''[[The Fifth Element]]''.
