Line 1,096:
*** [[The Cameo|He was only in it for three paragraphs.]] Likewise with ''[[Discworld/Unseen Academicals|Unseen Academicals]]''.
**** Rincewind was afraid of playing football in ''Unseen Academicals'', but then so was every other wizard except Ridcully.
** Meanwhile, [[Discworld/The Wee Free Men|The Wee Free Men]] have swords that [[The Lord of the Rings|glow blue in the presence of lawyers]], and fear them until they learn of the concept of defense attorneys.
* In [[Robert E. Howard]]'s "The Tower of the Elephant", [[Conan the Barbarian]] is paralzyed with horror at the sight of the [[Eldritch Abomination]]. (He's young in this story.)
* [[Ciaphas Cain]] ('''[[Running Gag|HERO OF THE IMPERIUM!]]''') is scared of a lot of things-[[Everything Trying to Kill You|with good reason]]-but the very mention of Necrons sends him into pants-wetting panic. They are the one enemy he will not face in direct combat. Given that Necrons are [[Omnicidal Maniac|all-hating]] [[Robotic Psychopath|mechanical]], and [[Determinator|relentless]] [[Abusive Precursors]], this fear seems less like a phobia and more of a symptom of possessing common sense.
