* Farkas, an otherwise fearless warrior in [[Skyrim|The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim]], at one point refuses to go any further in a dungeon after encountering giant spiders there.

* In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', the Punies are terrified of Piders, [[Giant Spider]] mobs that inhabit the Great Tree. Given her Tattle, Goombella is creeped out by them too.

* In ''[[Disenchantment]]'', the Devil [[The Devil Is a Loser| (who is a loser)]] is “creeped out” by severed heads, a problem he has had since humans invented the guillotine. Lucci is able to use this to his advantage when he is trying to find Bad-Bean's severed head, [[Blatant Lies| telling him it's in the ossuary with the other severed heads]] that the executioner "collects" - and he falls for it.
