Line 13:
 
== [[Film]] ==
* [[The Movie]] of ''[[The a A-Team (Filmfilm)|The a Team]]'' explains B.A Baracus's fear of flying using this. After his first experience with [[High-Speed Missile Dodge|Murdock's piloting skills,]] he was so scared he could not stand flying anymore, despite being in a occupation where jumping from a plane was an occasional must. He was not happy about it.
* Blue of [[Rio]] is a macaw with a fear of flying.
 
Line 25:
* ''[[American Dragon Jake Long]]'' features a hydrophobic mermaid.
* ''[[Ruby Gloom]]'' has a bat who's afraid of heights.
* ''[[Extreme Ghostbusters (Animation)|Extreme Ghostbusters]]'' had a [["What Do They Fear?" Episode]] with a ghost who could make phobias come to life. Eduardo's fear was of death: ironic both because he was taunting Kylie earlier claiming ''she'' was afraid of death, and because he interacts with ghosts on a daily basis, so he knows there's an afterlife.
* The polar bears Muk and Luk in ''[[Balto (Animation)|Balto]]'' are afraid to go in the water. They mention that it's the reason they are shunned by the other polar bears.
* Fluttershy in ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' is afraid of... a lot of things, but the one that fits here is her fear of heights. She's a pegasus.
* Early in Season 2, Stella of [[Winx Club]] was shown to be afraid of heights, despite being a fairy. Later, she seemed to overcome it.
* Silverbolt of [[Transformers|Transformers G1]] is afraid of heights, despite being a giant robot capable of transforming into a jet and being the leader of the Autobot's main air squadron, the Aerialbots. Despite this, he proves to be a level-headed, extremely qualified leader who always does his duty.
Line 37:
** Youmu is not so much scared of real ghosts as much as she is [[Girls Are Really Scared of Horror Movies|afraid of ghost stories]].
** Youmu isn't scared of much, but has trouble dealing with scary things. Imaginary horrors are her weakness: in one of the canon manga she fails a test of courage when she keeps fleeing hysterically from people in cheap halloween costumes, even though she was perfectly aware they were false.
* Romeo, the sniper of the squad of ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' is implied to be afraid of heights.
