<nowiki>*</nowiki> Note: It could be argued that ''Journey to the West'' effectively ''created'' this trope (literally; written in 1590, this is one of the earliest and ''best'' examples of a [[Five-Man Band]]), though this depends on the publication date of ''[[Le Morte Darthur (Literature)d'Arthur|Le Morte Darthur]]'' (possibly 1485). However, none of the characters are any one archetype, either (except the horse, which subsequent authors have all but forgotten); in a strange twist of the trope, for example, the monk Xuangzang, while still being [[The Hero]] by default, also falls under the trope of [[The Chick]], because he's, well, the downright perfect example of it - down to his propensity to be captured or put into danger more often than Lois Lane and Mary-Jane Watson ''combined'' (seriously; what self-respecting hero needs to be saved from certain death by [[The Lancer]] in over 60 chapters of a 100 chapter epic!?)
