* In ''[[Discworld/The Light Fantastic|The Light Fantastic]]'', Rincewind (the ultimate coward) ends up fighting a creature from the Dungeon Dimensions (where everything HP Lovecraft ever thought of lived), while it possesses a man that may the most powerful wizard on the Disc at that moment in time. He fights it using nothing but his hands, feet, elbows, knees and teeth. In the end, the author points out that this is the first time anything has ever run away from Rincewind instead of the other way around. He not only [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|beat up Cthulhu,]] he actually ''scared away'' Cthulhu with a fist-fight.
* This comes up at the end of ''[[I Am Legend]]'' following [[The Reveal]] that not all of the vampires are mindless, bloodthirsty monsters. The vampire-hunting protagonist realizes that, to the vampires, he has become a terrifying figure, a myth of godlike proportions. Basically, he's become a legendary monster that ''vampires'' tell each other ghost-stories about.
* In [[H.P. Lovecraft]]'s ''Dream Quest to Unknown Kadath'' servants of Nyarlathotep, including (and especially) the monstrous [[Giant Flyer|Shantak birds]] are absolutely terrified of Nightgaunts, because they serve Nodens, Nyarlathotep's mortal enemy and the only being who really poses any kind of threat to him in the Dreamlands.
