[[Primal Fear|Everybody has something that scares the ever-loving crap out of them]]. [[Fear of Thunder|Thunder]], [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|reptiles]], or maybe [[Killed Off for Real|bloody, painful death.]] Rest assured that in fiction land, if it scares you, you will either end up somewhere where said fear is everywhere, or be [[Stern Chase|relentlessly pursed by said fear]]. Reactions will not vary, with said character wanting nothing to do with this terrifying thing in any way, shape or form.

 

This is a Subtrope of a [["What Do They Fear?" Episode]], and a [[Super-Trope]] of [[Cowardly Lion]], who deals with this often. See also [[Not Afraid of You Anymore]] which is a verbal [[Invoked Trope|invoking of this trope]].
