Do Not Taunt Cthulhu	comment	Taunting a powerful enemy because you think it poses no threat. This is ill advised... It won't end well. So you're facing a powerful enemy, and you appear to have some sort of power over them? Perhaps you've locked them up, or they're not as terrifying as you thought, or maybe they've lost all their powers. In any case, you start to taunt them, confident in your victory. They promptly obliterate you. Of course, other things can happen. Maybe you can stare into the abyss and make it blink first. Point is if you're gonna talk crap to an Eldritch Abomination, make sure you can back it up first. A Sister Trope to Death by Mocking and Bullying a Dragon. A subtrope of Too Dumb to Live, for what should be fairly obvious reasons. Often overlaps with Tempting Fate.

Do Not Taunt Cthulhu / int_11b7db91	comment	Adventure Time: In the Season 2 episode "It Came From the Nightosphere", Marceline's soul-sucking demon father encounters the Marauders, and they rather unwisely make fun of him. In the Season 6 premiere "Wake Up" a group of Prismo's friends show up at a party to ridicule the Lich, who has been stuck in a dormant state in the former's Time Cube. Justified, as Prismo and his friends are all Physical Gods, so they're all safe. Except they're totally not, and the Lich ends up killing Prismo.

Do Not Taunt Cthulhu / int_1215a23d	comment	Genshin Impact: Zhongli is the most recent form that Rex Lapis/Morax the Geo Archon has taken. One of his titles is the God of Contracts. In his first character quest, he makes a contract with a Fatui agent, a worshipper of Hivaria (the God of Salt) and the Traveler, when searching for artifacts of the God of Salt in some ancient ruins, with the deal being that any artifact found with will first go to the agent, then the worshipper, and them the Traveler in that order. When both the agent and the worshipper break the contract, he gives them a thorough beatdown and a breaking speech respectively. La Signora is a member of the Fatui Harbingers, and according to Venti, each of them were granted godlike powers from the Tsaristza. When she made her first appearance, she ambushed Venti, aka Barbatos, the Anemo Archon, to steal his gnosis, and in her next appearance, Zhongli gave her his gnosis as per his deal with the Tsaristza. However, when she tried to challenge the Raiden Shogun, the Electro Archon, after the Traveler had defeated her in a duel, she found out the hard way why you should never challenge a god, even if said god never had the gnosis to begin with.

The game heavily emphasizes guerilla warfare tactics, taking only what you need and raiding specific targets so that you do not draw the attention of the AI.

Do Not Taunt Cthulhu / int_31aedabc	comment	Cthulhu Mythos: The franchise has played with this. However, Lovecraft doesn't involve Cthulhu, or any of the Great Old Ones directly. Instead, it's used with the Great Ones, weak gods of the Dreamlands that can be tricked by smart mortals. However, the Great Ones are protected by the Other Gods, who wreak retribution on those who would disturb their wards. Brian Lumley's "The House of Cthulhu" focuses on some barbarians who go to R'lyeh. Their leader dismisses the legend of a star-spawned abomination as a myth to scare away the weak, and believes the "tomb" to hold vast treasures. He's wrong. Philip Jose Farmer's short story The Freshman mentions a Miskatonic University student who wrote a bit of crude graffiti about Yog-Sothoth and the condition his body was found in.

Speaking of Buu, in the Battle of Gods movie, Buu is on the receiving end of this trope when he eats two plates of pudding that Lord Beerus wanted and then mocks him for it. Beerus responds by blasting him into a lake, then fishing him out and smashing his head against Gohan's. Bear in mind that Buu is himself a Humanoid Abomination notorious for killing and eating his way through Universe 7's pantheon, but Beerus is the god that even other gods fear. In said movie, Bulma walks up to Beerus, yells at him for ruining her birthday party, and slaps him. His response? He just slaps her back. Bulma is really lucky he held back or else he would have obliterated her! Goku even references this come Resurrection 'F'; the minute they hear from Bulma about Frieza's return, Goku insists to Vegeta they need to get back to Earth right away before Bulma does or says something stupid to piss Frieza off. In general, anyone who is not a superpowered planet-killing warrior had better be polite when they speak to Shenron. It's implied that he's killed people in the past who took too long to decide on a wish, and in Resurrection F, he lampshades to Sorbet that being rude to the super-powerful magical dragon-god is not a wise idea (Sorbet immediately rephrases his wish to be more polite). The only being that has ever cowed Shenron is the aforementioned Beerus. Even Goku gets in on this sometimes. Remember when that Ginyu Force brute Recoome literally gave him the bird when his scouter showed Goku had a mere power level of 5000 (to Recoome's 65000-ish)? Goku slugged him in the gut and took him out with a single hit. Recoome didn't know that Z-Fighters can hide their true power levels from scouters, and Goku was in reality three times stronger than him.

It is very much unimpressed and even delivers a short "The Reason You Suck" Speech before it proceeds to seriously injure her. She manages to destroy its physical form, but that is at best a minor setback for it.

Alyssa, who happens to be one posing as a human woman, because seeing her true form would drive you permanently, self-mutilatingly insane, will give fair warning when you're doing something that annoys her.

He doesn't listen when the protagonist tries to explain that the creature isn't 'dead' as it's actually a colony of creatures, all feeding off the decaying body of their host. The twit starts slapping and then kicking the corpse, only to be swallowed whole by something leaping out of its flesh.

Do Not Taunt Cthulhu / int_41b0198a	comment	In The Dresden Files, Harry does this pretty much all the time. Sometimes the "power" he has over the creature in question is that they consider that it would be politically disadvantageous or just impolite to kill him, rather tenuous protections. At one point, when going to ask Odin for help, he thinks of a joke, then remembers that he shouldn't mouth off to his door guards. Then does it anyway, and defends himself by pointing out that he's insulted the faerie queens, vampire courts, and demigods; at this point, it's expected of him. After a certain point in the series, Harry himself could be considered Cthulhu... In Ghost Story, Harry makes the mistake of leaving the "el" off of the Archangel Uriel's name. Uriel, who's a cheerful and affable sort, very quickly tells Harry that he does not want to make that mistake again. The Fridge Brilliance behind it: "Uriel" means "Light of God", with "el" being the "God" part. Who else's name meant just "light"? Lucifer. Inverted in Death Masks when Murphy meets Harry's mentor, Ebenezar. She is not impressed and demands brusquely that she be the driver since he doesn't have a license in Chicago. Harry tells Ebenezar he better just let her do so, calling the older man 'sir'. Cue Murphy dropping her armload in pure, unfiltered shock at hearing Harry Dresden address someone with authority with respect. She talks to Ebenezar afterwards as if he's on the same level as the Pope.

They will threaten to annihilate the Watcher's soul but ultimately decide against it...unless the Watcher says they "welcome oblivion". Predictably, that results in an instant death. Downplayed in that, if not betrayed in an imported Pillars of Eternity save, the god tolerates a lot of other insults and challenges with dry wit and an occasional chuckle.

The Liar's Cradle) is an omniscient furnace that will confirm or deny any true or false statement given to it by someone sitting inside it by burning alive people who state things which are false. Continued tests show that the furnace is actually sentient and really enjoys the sensation of burning living human flesh inside it. After being given several statements in a row in the vein of "The Liar's Cradle would love to burn my delicious flesh right now" which it had to answer true to, to its own increasing anger, the next person who entered and gave the simple statement "The Earth is round.", SCP-2128 chooses to interpret "Earth" as meaning soil rather than planet and incinerates the person inside particularly slowly and painfully. SCP-1440 is a Walking Wasteland who, according to himself, once challenged Death to a game of cards and won. While the Brothers Death are able to take a loss and were happy to let him go, he decided to mock Death by not only playing again but going all or nothing. After three more rounds, he had won three powerful artifacts that he could use to prevent death. Death took this personally, and ever since, two of the three brothers have followed him around and destroyed any manmade civilization that he comes near.

Do Not Taunt Cthulhu / int_468bebb0	comment	Terry Pratchett's Discworld books: In The Colour of Magic, Rincewind describes Twoflower as such: if total chaos and destruction were lightning, Twoflower is the equivalent of "-standing on top of a mountain in a thunderstorm, wearing full copper plate armour, while shouting at the top of your voice 'ALL GODS ARE BASTARDS!'" Another example is Abraxas, a philosopher mentioned in passing who denies the existence of the gods. They call him "Charcoal" because of the smell. In Lords and Ladies, a prankster tries to trick one of his friends into calling the Librarian a monkey. The Librarian realizes what's going on and goes easy on the would-be victim, and later that night tosses the prankster in the river. The narration sums up the moral as "Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, especially simian ones. Not all of them are subtle." In Soul Music, a worker comes to complain about the Librarian stealing the wheels off his cart. When he continues to mouth off to Mustrum Ridcully despite the Archchancellor trying to be amicable, he mentions that wizards aren't allowed to use their magic on normal people... at which point he becomes a frog, with Ridcully noting that the aforementioned rule is, by his reckoning, more of a guideline.

An unwise decision on Odysseus' part, since this incenses Polyphemus' father — who just happens to be Poseidon, god of the sea, who ensures that Odysseus doesn't make it back home for another ten years. What really made this unwise is that Odysseus revealed his real name while taunting. If he just had let Polyphemus think it was "No Man" who blinded him, then he wouldn't have suffered for almost ten years. A film version had Odysseus taunt Poseidon himself after the destruction of Troy, claiming humans no longer needed gods. After finally having enough of being fate's bitch, Odysseus asks Poseidon what he wanted. Poseidon replied that he merely wanted to show Odysseus that humans will always need gods.

Many a criminal, corrupt noble or the occasional Slane Theocracy elite warrior would believe that Ainz (or one of his lackeys) are jokes when our Villain Protagonists blatantly attack them head-on even if they're virtually unopposed in their native ecosystem. Unfortunately, Ainz and his lackeys are really non-native to the New World, and the people who underestimate them die almost instantly right after. Justified, considering the New World natives really have no idea what they're facing since YGGDRASIL players like Ainz only show up once every one hundred years. Not that the ones who didn't underestimate them won't die instantly, anyway. A particularly justified case occurs with Sebas Tian in the Men in the Kingdom arc. Because he looks like a perfectly human old butler, there are several criminals who mistake him for a harmless, rich butler that they can easily extort for money or kill in a single hit. Those hapless criminals learn the lesson with their life.

Do Not Taunt Cthulhu / int_5908ee91	comment	In Skyrim, the Vigil of Stendarr is a Church Militant order dedicated to hunting down and destroying supernatural threats to mortal life, including Daedra, Daedra worshipers, vampires, lycanthropes, and others. The Daedric Princes, even the less outright malevolent ones, can be a very vindictive and vengeful bunch. Harassing/killing their followers and confiscating their artifacts counts as full-blown taunting for the Vigil. It shouldn't come as a surprise then when they are almost entirely wiped out (by vampires, who are associated with Molag Bal, the Daedric Prince of Corruption and the closest thing the series has to a true God of Evil).

Do Not Taunt Cthulhu / int_5afbc0cb	comment	Undertale has a very, very meta example. If you go for the No Mercy route, the Final Boss there is going to give you a very bad time. Halfway into the fight, the boss will call out to the good person inside of you and offer a chance to reconcile. Accept, and he hits you with an undodgeable, unblockable attack that instantly kills you, and tells you that if you are truly sorry, you should never come back. Alright, pulling off an I Surrender, Suckers followed by Redemption Equals Death is legit. Problem is, he had the gall to mock you for it; even the usual game over music is replaced by a sped-up in-game trolling song. That mockery has been known to enrage enough players to redouble their effort to take the boss down. If you succeed, and then reload the game to kill the boss again...you actually scare him, for the first time in the game. Do Not Taunt The Player, indeed.

They respond by collapsing a neutron star into a black hole and proceeding to try their hardest to wipe out humanity by altering fundamental laws of physics on a system-wide scale. They actually find a way to do so and kill a whole system, and the only thing that spares the rest of humanity is that they didn't actually realise it had worked.

He's captured Superman and it looks like he's going to win. But Dan Turpin steps up, rallies the public, and even manages to free Superman. Then New Genesis shows up to scare Darkseid off. As Darkseid leaves, Turpin shouts taunts after him. Darkseid pauses, then tells Superman that every victory has its price right before vaporizing Turpin in an excellent example of not-played-for-laughs spite.

Do Not Taunt Cthulhu / int_62570927	comment	Marvel Universe: Doctor Strange foe Dormammu once greatly increased his already immense power by tapping into the power of the physical embodiment of the universe, to the point of literally pushing the Hulk around. Unfazed, the green goliath threatened Dormammu, but the dark lord merely mocked him and warned that insulting him would be unwise. When the Hulk asked why, Dormammu responded that he had enough power to defeat him without lifting a finger, but Hulk's only response was "That I'd like t'see". In the next panel, Hulk was turned into glass. Hulk has been on the other side of this as well. Taunting him isn't really advisable, yet people are dead set on picking fights with him. (Loki promptly added insult to injury, becoming an instant Internet meme — which proves that even gods should take this advice to heart.) Heck in the above example with Dormammu, a couple issues later Hulk returns the favor by thunderclapping the demon unconscious. Jubilee of the X-Men once thought it was a good idea to taunt a pack of hungry dinosaurs from the safety of the far side of a forcefield wall. Then the flying dinosaur riders turned up... In The Unbelievable Gwenpool: Gwenpool mocks M.O.D.O.K. since she sees him as a C-List villain. He responds by vaporizing her friend Cecil on the spot and then forcibly recruiting her into his organization on the pain of being killed as well. She also mocks a seemingly defeated Deadpool claiming to be invincible in her own comic book... let's just say that gloating about your own Fourth-Wall Observer skills is just giving him ideas. In The Punisher MAX, some thugs thought it'd be a good idea to Prison Rape The Kingpin in the days before he became The Don. Even though he was just a small-time thug like them at the time, it didn't end well for one of them or his wife.

Also applies to most of the subsequent games where Cuccos (the chickens) are present. In Wind Waker, it's "Do not taunt the big black pig" instead. Also in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, the miniboss steals the dungeon's key item after fleeing from a battle with Link. He even leaves a note in the treasure chest taunting Link into finding him and battling him for said item. Unfortunately for the miniboss, Link is able to find all of his suspiciously empty hiding spots, no matter where he flees to. Ultimately, he runs out of "hiding spots" and battles Link once more -- this time to the death. Naturally, since the player is quite used to him by now, his ass is quickly handed to him. What's notable about this is that, since his hiding spots are so out-of-the-way (the last one, in fact, requires backtracking to a place that most players would otherwise have never returned to!), if he hadn't stolen the item, Link would probably never want to kill him, and thus his unnecessary act of cruelty was what really forced Link to kill him FOUR times.

They're usually killed by the Immediate Murder Professionals — whom Stolas hired to be his bodyguards probably because he has the hots for their leader — but the last one, who pulls a knife on him while he's having a moment with his daughter Octavia, he finally bothers to deal with himself. By looking at it. After Loona insults Beelzebub (the Sin of Gluttony) when the latter tells her to check on Blitzo, Beelzebub briefly goes One-Winged Angel and warns Loona not to provoke her. After Crimson's obnoxious lawyer spends the entire night irking Asmodeus and wasting his time as he tries to get the Sin of Lust to sign off his assets in exchange for Fizzarolli's life, Asmodeus wastes no time ending his life after Fizz returns home on his own. A few minutes later, he invokes the trope by threatening to break his employees if they blab about his Secret Relationship with Fizz. He makes his point clear by punching a statue's dick into dust; the onlooking employees quickly get the message and immediately vacate the room.

Do Not Taunt Cthulhu / int_9ab32c13	comment	In Pony POV Series, enraging the Gods is never a good idea, even if generally they're nice folks (if in the Draconequi's case, operating on an alien morality). This is particularly true of Entropy, the female Draconequi Elder, who does not like to be spoken back to and will erase anyone that does. The generally kind Goddess of Love Venus' (who's incapable of unjustified malice) son Cupid was killed by a vindictive pony with a Concept Killing Spear. She descended to mortal reality in an Unstoppable Rage and blew a hole through said pegasus before they could even try to use it against her, then reduced said pegasus' house to a molten crater. And it's implied killing them wasn't the end of it, but Celestia never explained exactly what Venus did to her. Just that killing the son of the CONCEPT of Maternal Love was a very bad idea. A later story reveals she had her friend Pandora erase her name and appearance from all memory so thoroughly the girl herself can't recall it, turned part of her soul into an Angel for her own use, then threw her soul straight into Hell itself (though part of this was also because in killing Cupid, the pony erased countless innocent creatures from existence and felt no remorse for any of it). Queen Tiamat, the Dragons' patron deity, is exceptionally polite and generally a nice woman. However, attempted genocide on her people will piss her off, and her resulting Roaring Rampage of Revenge leveled a country. Entropy's wrath may be the most feared, but all of the Elders are decidedly not ones to screw with. The Father of All Alicorns is slow to anger, but his wrath is noted as putting his Draconequi counterpart Havoc's to shame (and Havoc is warden of Hell). In the above case with Venus, he paused her wrath only long enough to show the pony the full extent of her crimes, and when she showed no remorse at all for the devastation she caused, told Venus Do with Him as You Will. The all-loving Fauna Luster's anger has yet to be seen, but is implied to be something even Discord isn't insane enough to call down and even Nightmare Eclipse for all her megalomania knew better than to enrage her. One of the only ways to enrage her is to harm unborn souls who have yet to live, something no one is willing to do for fear of her wrath.

Do Not Taunt Cthulhu / int_9d34190a	comment	In The Elder Scrolls series, this is understandably inadvisable when dealing with the Daedric Princes. A quick death, or worse, often follows. Some particularly noteworthy examples: Hermaeus Mora, the Daedric Prince of Knowledge, forgoes taking a humanoid form when dealing with mortals, preferring a true Eldritch Abomination mass of eyes, tentacles, and claws form that would make Lovecraft proud. As affable and polite as Mora may come across, he can flip the switch to extreme violent anger in an instant if taunted. In Skyrim's Dragonborn DLC, Miraak finds this out the hard way. Nocturnal is the Daedric Prince of Darkness and the Night and is also associated with Thieves and Luck. Despite this, thieves love stealing things from Nocturnal. While they may succeed in acquiring the item they are attempting to steal (the Gray Cowl, the Eye of Nocturnal, the Skeleton Key) they always pay for it in the end, usually by Nocturnal cursing the item they stole or having her servants hunt down the offender. In the Shivering Isles DLC for Oblivion, the player can actually attack Sheogorath at any time...except he's completely immortal, the entire realm is an extension of him, and all he has to do is snap his fingers to teleport you high above a mass grave and let you fall to your death. In Skyrim, the Vigil of Stendarr is a Church Militant order dedicated to hunting down and destroying supernatural threats to mortal life, including Daedra, Daedra worshipers, vampires, lycanthropes, and others. The Daedric Princes, even the less outright malevolent ones, can be a very vindictive and vengeful bunch. Harassing/killing their followers and confiscating their artifacts counts as full-blown taunting for the Vigil. It shouldn't come as a surprise then when they are almost entirely wiped out (by vampires, who are associated with Molag Bal, the Daedric Prince of Corruption and the closest thing the series has to a true God of Evil).

Of all things, it's this insult that irks Lucci enough that he decides to ignore Luffy, who can't even move at this point, and murder the offender for his audacity. Thankfully subverted when Luffy forces himself to get back on his feet and finish the fight. Just as Usopp intended. In Dressrosa, Gyats decides to taunt and mock Doflamingo in order to buy Luffy enough time to recover his Hour of Power, knowing damn well he might not live to get away with it. He indeed gets impaled for his trouble, but survives. In the Zou arc, Jack decides the quickest solution to finding Raizo is to simply destroy the island where he thinks he might be hiding. In other words, to kill Zunesha. He gets so carried away by this, however, that he conveniently forgets that Zunesha is still an elephant the size of an island. When Momonosuke grants him permission to fight back, Jack barely has enough time to panic before Zunesha obliterates his fleet with a sweep of his massive trunk.

You can mock it repeatedly, even. This is incidentally one of the few ways for you to get permanently killed. The Game Over message even reads "You just tested your immortality on the wrong Power, berk." Additionally, as the byproduct of extraordinarily powerful necromantic magic, it may not be a good idea for the Nameless One to offend Lothgar, Keeper of Skulls. Morte, one of the companions, has an ability called Litany of Curses that, when used on an enemy causes him to spout a random insult at it. If you attempt to use it on some of the most powerful enemies in the game, such as The Fiend From Mordor's Box, in place of his normal insult, Morte will instead say "No way, I am not taunting that!"

There's a reason "Don't take His name in vain" is one of the Commandments, and many Blasphemous Boasts have been answered. The same goes for His representatives; the best example is probably when a bunch of (ambiguously aged) youths decides to start mouthing off to Elisha. They are promptly mauled by bears. Also applies to angels, as well. One person (the high priest, no less!) thought it was a good idea to mouth off to Gabriel—essentially, Gabriel told him that his wife would bear a son, and the priest's response was more or less "Yeah, right!". This ended poorly—he didn't die or anything, but being mute for 9 months while his wife was pregnant must have been a real pain.

Smashing reliefs that depict the horror within the Darkest Dungeon will cause a massive amount of Stress damage as the entity becomes enraged, almost certainly driving that hero mad.

Believing that Ramses had used up all his curses, Eustace grabs the slab back and starts taunting him anew. Guess how that turned out.

Meta-Ridley missed the memo. The Space Pirates were also warned to refrain from feeding the Metroids pet food, as they can't digest solid food and get sick (and more irritable) from eating it.

When the base gets overrun by Zerg, your squad will eventually come across a group of Ultralisks trapped in a pen. One of the marines will say, "Well wouldya look at that! They're trapped!" And they really are. It is played straight in the demo (which is set before the events of the retail game), where after a marine says the same thing, the zerg units escape through a door that opens right then and there.

Do Not Taunt Cthulhu / int_c62995ba	comment	Child of the Storm has this happen more than once: In the first book, Dumbledore relates a story of the Clan Akkaba summoning the Phoenix Force to do their grunt work when being hunted by Dracula and the Grey Court. While the Phoenix hates vampires, as Frigga later puts it, "[The Phoenix] does not take well to being summoned." As both Gravemoss (a Physical God level Necromancer) and Chthon (Elder God of Chaos and Black Magic) find out in the finale, this could just as easily be called Do Not Taunt Doctor Strange. In the sequel's Red Room arc, Yelena Belova, psychotic new claimant of the Black Widow name, does this twice. The first time, she mocks her predecessor as an old woman who has gone soft. Natasha promptly beats the crap out of her while simultaneously delivering a brutal Breaking Speech, slicing off her thumb in the ensuing knife fight. The second time, Yelena's backed up by the Winter Guard and thinks she has Natasha cornered, taking the time to gloat about how she now has something — or someone — she saw as Natasha's (Harry — or rather, his body, programmed by the Red Room as the Red Son) who she molested right in front of Natasha. Cue a) the Avengers (this being a trap), b) a Tranquil Fury-inspired No-Holds-Barred Beatdown from Natasha that was so utterly brutally one-sided that the story doesn't even bother showing it. Also during the Red Room arc, the Juggernaut, unleashed as a distraction, taunts a currently Mjolnir-deprived Thor, who was in a very bad mood to begin with. Cue Unstoppable Rage so spectacular that it takes the Hulk to restrain Thor from accidentally destabilising the entire Eastern Seaboard as a mere side-effect of his beatdown of the Juggernaut. In fact, the entire Red Room arc is the Red Room very unwisely taunting not just the Avengers, but Asgard. Which responds, Old Testament style. Dudley a.k.a. the Beast/the Blob, a superpowered thug and a newly turned Grey Court (Dracula style) vampire, nearly kills Uhtred, draining him almost dry and ripping his eye out, before throwing his half-dead body at Harry and gloating about how good he tasted. This, despite having personal experience of the Wrath of Harry. What happens next is both expected and not at all pretty. Doctor Reynolds a.k.a. the Void/the Parasite makes the grave mistake of repeatedly provoking Harry by trying to more or less eat Clark's soul. Despite having it repeatedly demonstrated that even when Harry's playing relatively nicely for Clark's sake, mashing his Berserk Button like this is a very painful idea, he keeps doing it, finally almost choking Clark by transmuting the carbon dioxide in his lungs into dry ice (among other things). Harry loses his temper. Cue dismemberment, Mind Rape so brutal that the dismemberment is described as "a mere courtesy detail", and being drop-kicked into space. Good Thing You Can Heal, really. The Spirit of the Fortress dances back and forth on the edge of this, generally tormenting Harry and his friends, but being wise enough of Harry's threat that it doesn't quite make him snap - as he points out, after possessing Hermione, it doesn't eat their soul as it does everyone else. Why? Because its host's memories provide graphic evidence of just how terminally bad an idea that would be.

They appear to have overlooked the fact that they're still invincible teleporting superbeings, who don't take kindly to humanity's rather laughable attempts to fight them. The Dragon is memorable for taunting Zeus (i.e. the god of thunder) on a cliff during a thunderstorm by raising his sword toward the heavens. That would be a bad idea without all-powerful beings who get angry at the drop of a hat.

Using a Rainbow Wing, he finds it atop Mt. Silver where he boasts that he will catch Ho-Oh, ordering his Pidgeot to give him his strongest attack. Ho-Oh not only doesn't even faze with the attack, but with a single flap sends them plummeting down the mountain, and it's a miracle that Falkner survives, albeit with bruises and first-degree burns all over his body. The main story has a chapter in Pallet Town where Ash and his female companions are doing some training, until a Zapdos suddenly shows up seemingly out of nowhere, forcing them to fight it until it leaves. The Stinger of the chapter reveals that it was angry because Cross attempted to catch it. Compared to Falkner, Cross got off rather easy (only a broken arm upon falling down the hill), and despite acknowledging how stupidly reckless he was, he still intends to catch Ho-Oh one day.

Bilbo gets somewhat burned for taunting the dragon, and in a rare case where the person who did the taunting figures out it's a bad idea, is prompted into saying "Never laugh at live dragons, Bilbo, You Fool!!"

Do Not Taunt Cthulhu / int_fdd8cae9	comment	Yuuto lacks what might be considered proper respect for the godlike Wisdom in Aselia the Eternal - The Spirit of Eternity Sword. As in, he insults it, berates it, and ignores it whenever possible. Not that he has no respect, he's just rude in general.

Do Not Taunt Cthulhu / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Star Trek: The Next Generation: In the very first episode, "Encounter at Farpoint", Tasha Yar goes on an impassioned, disgusted rant against Q's Kangaroo Court and is frozen for her trouble. Picard learns the hard way that for all his flippancy, Q is still a near-omnipotent being of god-like power. In "Q Who", when Q offers to join the Enterprise crew, even going so far as offering to renounce his powers and bring his near-limitless knowledge to their aid, they all but laugh in his face, claiming they are equipped to handle things themselves. With a snap of his fingers, Q puts it to the test by hurling them into the path of the Borg. Even if Q wasn't exactly trustworthy, it was a supremely arrogant statement on the part of Picard, and one that ended up costing him not only his pride (having to beg Q to save them) but the lives of several crew members.note This is eventually revealed as deliberately set-up on Q's part to shatter Starfleet's complacency. The Borg already knew about Earth and had it on the list to be conquered, but the Federation would have been caught completely off-guard without this little demonstration. As for the method, well, an immortal has to have some fun.
