Line 10:
* In Part 3 of ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'', Vanilla Ice, the Sycophantic Servant of Big Bad Dio, does manage to kill off two of the main cast.
* The ''[[Blood Alone]]'' manga actually ''calls'' vampire blood slaves "Renfields."
* The Chevaliers in ''[[Blood Plus+]]'', particularly those belonging to Diva, are [[The Dragon|unique]] [[Battle Butler|subversions]] of this trope. The transformation into a chevalier inspires genuine devotion for the Chevalier's parent chiropteran, but Chevaliers have free will enough to both go against a Chiropteran's commands and/or [[The Chessmaster|manipulate a Chiropteran for the Chevalier's own ends]]. The exceptions to this rule are implied [[Love Makes You Crazy|to be insane]].
* {{spoiler|Osanai}} from ''[[Paprika]]''.
* Misa Amane and Teru Mikami of ''[[Death Note]]''.

* [[Marvel Universe]]:
* In the [[Marvel Universe]],* Toad lived down to his name in this manner for Magneto for much of the original 1960s ''[[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]]'' run.
** Magneto likes these kinds of bootlickers. He also had Peeper in the second Brotherhood/Mutant Force and Amphibius in the Savage Land Mutates.
** Also, Nightcrawler encountered an alternate self who served this purpose for Belasco.
** In an [[Earth X|alternate future]], it's determined Nightcrawler -becomes- Belasco. So, um.
*** And in that same alternate future, the Earth's poles shifted, somehow causing Toad and Magneto's powers to be switched. Toad took the opportunity to turn Mags into a slave for his enjoyment as payback for the mountains of abuse he'd suffered at his hand.
** Arcade had a [[Perky Female Minion]] named Miss Locke, who was this to a fault. Arcade eventually killed her and started using an android duplicate instead, claiming she was trying to get "too close" to him emotionally and physically. But then, this is hardly the only proof needed to confirm that [[Ax Crazy|Arcade is out of his gourd.]]
* Mephisto had one of these in his first appearance in ''[[Silver Surfer]]''. Ironically, Mephisto was himself forced to be this to Thanos during the ''[[Infinity Gauntlet]]'' saga.
* Psycho-Pirate is this to the Anti-Monitor in ''[[Crisis on Infinite Earths]]''.
* Ever since his first appearance in the 70s, [[Batman|Ras Al Ghul]] had a completely loyal hulking manservant named Ubu, who worshiped the ground he walked on. After a couple of apparent deaths the character was ''still'' around, so it was revealed that there's an entire Ubu ''clan'', and they all serve Ras.
