* In [[Rick Cook]]'s ''[[Limbo System]]'', Iron Alice [[De Rosa]]. She often serves as a sounding board for the captain.
* Within [[Discworld]]'s Unsen University, the University library is often considered to be a separate organization with the Librarian (a wizard [[Baleful Polymorph|shapechanged]] into an orangutan) in charge, although the Librarian considers himself subordinate to the Archchancellor. When Rincewind worked directly for the Librarian, other UU wizards called him "an ape's number two" - technically correct but [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|not a compliment]].
