* [[A Song of Ice and Fire]]'s Bran and Hodor make what is probably the most extreme example on both ends, Bran being a 7-9 year old lordling {{spoiler|that gets crippled at the beginning of that first book.}}, Hodor being the gigantic oaf that only knows how to say his name (and it's not even actually his name) {{spoiler|that is put to the task of carrying him around wherever he goes.}}
* [[Ciaphas Cain]], '''HERO OF THE IMPERIUM''', to some degree. While Cain does kick copious amounts of ass with sheer skill and light weaponry, physically he is no match for Jurgen, a sturdy Valhallan who skips wussy laser pistols in favor of a [[BFG]] melta gun. Cain is a [[Guile Hero]] while Jurgen is socially stunted, [[Literal -Minded]] and largely considered ignorant by most (though Jurgen has a decent case for more being [[Book Dumb]] and is very capable in the areas of scrounging and [[Crazy Prepared|being prepared]]).
* Fisk (brains) and Michael (brawn) from the ''[[Knight and Rogue Series]]''. Fisk is actually good with knives, but prefers to stay out of fights, and Michael, who does have some bright moments, actually has more of an education than Fisk, but [[Too Dumb to Live|you'd never notice it]].
* The [[Steampunk]] novel series ''The Ministry of Peculiar Occurences'' has the [[Meaningful Name|Meaningfully Named]] Books and Braun; [[Non-Action Guy]] Wellington Thornhill Books, Esq. and [[Action Girl]] Miss Eliza D. Braun.
