* In ''[[Alice in Wonderland|Through the Looking Glass]]'', when Alice meets the Unicorn, it asks what she is. When told that she is a child, it replies, stunned, "I always thought they were fabulous monsters!" When Alice confesses that she always believed that ''unicorns'' were fabulous monsters, the Unicorn says, "Well, if you'll believe in me, I'll believe in you," to which Alice agrees.
* In ''[[The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe|The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe]]'', Tumnus the faun reacts this way to Lucy the first time he meets her, and owns a book called ''Is Man a Myth?''
* In [[J. R. R. Tolkien|JRR Tolkien]]'s ''[[Farmer Giles of Ham]]'', younger dragons seem to think that the Knights are just a myth. The older ones know better, although they admit that they are few and far, and not a danger anymore.
** Which is true. The King and his Knights are pretty useless. The only person who can effectively deal with the Dragon is a fat, red-headed farmer who doesn't like trespassers—even if they are scaly and breathe fire.
* There's a picture book about a little monster who cannot sleep because he thinks there are human children under his bed. His parents desperately tries to tell him human children are just made-up creatures, but what works is when he meets a real kid and learn that while they are real, they are not dangerous.
* ''[[The Dragon With the Girl Tattoo]]'' by Adam Roberts, a spoof of ''[[The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo]]'', is set in a world where dragons are the dominant species, and humans are a myth.
