Examples of [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]] in [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]]s include:
* Anything with an Ion Disruptor in ''[[X (Video Game)|X3: Reunion]]''. This weapon is extremely effective against shields, automatically locks on to anything in a wide fire arc, and has no travel time. While it can't damage your ship's hull, it is extremely effective against shields and can destroy equipment once your shields are down, as well as making you easy prey for lasers, missiles or collisions. Since all ships are susceptible to friendly fire, even friendlies using the Ion Disruptor turn into Goddamned Bats. As if it wasn't already annoying enough, using the weapon yourself when there are non-player-owned friendlies around turns '''you''' into a bat, and they'll instantly attack you.

** Kha'ak fighters in ''X3: Terran Conflict'' qualify for capital ship captains. Individually they're no threat at all since a few good flak hits will splatter them, and their weapons are really weak. Clouds of them can wear you down. Oh, and they spawn continuously as long as you're in a Kha'ak sector.
** M5 scoutships in general, but particularly the Teladi Harrier, Yaki Fujin, and Xenon N (the only common M5's with credible weaponry). They come in swarms (often alongside ships that actually pose a threat), and are too fast to hit with most weapons. Get enough in clear space and you basically need a capital ship's flak guns to clear them all out.
Line 10 ⟶ 12:
* In ''[[Animal Crossing]]'' catching certain very common fish and bugs is this. Sea Bass in particular are a well known annoyance, as on most days other than rainy days you'll probably catch them much more than the fish that are actually worth anything. Mosquito's are a more straight forward example of this trope though. They are attracted to you instead of running away like most other insects, so if you're fishing and it bites you the player reels in their line causing the fish to disappear.
