Some characters are frightening enough to scare most people. Some characters, though, are frightening enough that they can reduce even fierce or aggressive guard dogs to whimpering, cowering puppies, just by looking at them, or even just by being there. It may be that the character is big, or mean, or evil, or scary-looking, or simply badass. It may be any combination of those qualities. It doesn't even have to be a person, although it usually is. It cannot be a case of a supernatural evil leaking through a failed shield or glamour, though; that's Glamour Failure. This trope isn't limited to dogs, either. The critter that backs down may be any critter, as long as it's established it's a badass in its own right. Not related to the Tropey The Wonderdog family of tropes. Contrast with Evil-Detecting Dog, which covers the normal ability of dogs to tell whether someone is nice or not. Also compare with Animal Reaction Shot and Shut Up, Scary Thing!. Often used together with Animals Hate Him. See Nice Kitty... for instances in which a character gets softer and friendlier rather than more aggressive when dealing with a scary thing. |

In Osamu Tezuka's Buddha, Ananda, the half-brother of Devadatta, was gifted by the devil Mara after his father offered him in exchange for sparing his life. As a result, Ananda possessed an aura that made the most vicious animals turn tail and run away in fear, including dogs and tigers trained to kill him. | |

The Thing-dog in The Thing (1982), when it reveals its true form, terrifies the other sled dogs so utterly that one of them tries to tear open the chain-link fencing of its pen in a desperate attempt to escape the mutating horror, to no avail. | |

101 Dalmatians: The Series A variation where Cadpig (who is the runt of the litter) was able to emotionally manipulate a group of vicious guard dogs by cruelly pointing out their flaws and weaknesses until they became a whimpering pile with self-esteem issues. Beware the Nice Ones indeed. Cruella has this with most animals, but is especially notable in "Snow Bounders" when she manages to frighten a full grown grizzly bear. |

Looney Tunes: Some cartoons directed by Bob Clampett, like Goofy Groceries and Wagon Heels, have a gag where one character roars at another, only for the other to roar back even louder, causing him to shrink down and become a crying baby. The gag was also used in the Pink Panther short It's Pink, But Is It Mink? |

Fan-translated manga Code:Breaker- One of the Code Breakers frightens dogs into submission, and they come up to lick his hand when he beckons them. The other one scares them so badly they refuse to approach. This is used to show us which one still has a soft spot in his cold heart, and which one is a through-and-through psycho. | |

This is how Kenshiro became the successor of Hokuto Shinken in Fist of the North Star, his icy Death Glare being enough to do this to a tiger that confronted him and Raoh. Later on he repeats this by frighting away some dogs belonging to one of Raoh’s minions. | |

In Medaka Box, Medaka pulls this off not out of choice, but because animals are frightened by her overwhelming power. When she was in primary school, she took a field trip to the zoo, not one animal showed its face! In one story arc where the heroes infiltrate a science lab and find a facility full of animals that don't run away, Medaka flips out and acts like a little kid, wanting to tour all the "cages". | |

The trailer for The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep has the titular giant sea monster only scaring off a bulldog. The film, on the other hand, takes a darker turn as the sea monster, already turned violent and wild by the constant threats on its life, ominously rises in front of the barking dog and prepares to kill it before cutting into another scene. The dog isn't seen anywhere after that. | |

The Sesame Street TV movie Big Bird in China has Big Bird's dog, Barkley, accompany him on a trip to Beijing. While they are visiting the Great Wall, Barkley begins incessantly barking in a state of paranoia for no apparent reason - until we see that a grotesque mythological demon called the Monkey King (who is actually a good guy and there to help Big Bird solve a mystery, although he is a bit of a Jerkass) is constantly appearing, disappearing and reappearing, frightening Barkley. | |

Discworld: Guards! Guards!: Sybil Ramkin uses her knowledge of swamp dragons (which grow as big as large dogs) to try to cow a Draco nobilis (which is about the size of a building) with a sharp admonishment of "Bad dragon! SIT!" Sam Vimes finds himself almost sitting himself because of the raw Authority in her voice, but then she breaks eye contact to look for a dragon treat in her pocket, and the spell is broken. Going Postal: Moist von Lipwig is able to cow a pair of Angry Guard Dogs into obedience because they happen to be a rare breed from his home country and he knows the commands they're taught. Then he learns that they aren't that breed, but were just confused by his self-confidence. Werewolves in general have power over dogs, though it's largely the power to make them cower and look as inedible as possible. Unseen Academicals: Horses are deathly afraid of Mr. Nutt the Orc. Although he can stop them from panicking and compel their obedience with the Horseman's Word, they aren't any less scared, as the footnotes from Lords and Ladies make clear. |

In Hannibal the titular character breaks into Paul Krendler's house, and the fairly imposing dog takes one look at him and starts to back down and whimper. The film just about gets away with it, since it is possible that the dog is just a pet rather than a guard dog, and it would make sense that the dog would smell the psychopath's lack of fear. In any case, it's a lot more convincing than a scene later in the film (and book) where specially bred and trained killer pigs refuse to attack him, apparently because he is just that awesome. The latter scene is explained in the novel. The pigs are trained to attack a screaming man. Hannibal is again showing no fear, so they ignore him in favour of the wounded man trying to run away from them. |

In Parasyte, one of the minor parasites masquerading as a human manages to scare off a rampaging LION that had escaped from the zoo with his presence alone. Said lion had already killed several people. Unfortunately, while initially frightened at first, the lion attacks the parasite anyway both because it could not conceive being intimidated by a human, and because it ignored its stunted survival instincts. It gets its head turned into a pile of blood pudding for its efforts. | |

In the thriller/horror The Relic, a police officer sends his two beloved German Shepherds, Castor and Pollux, to eagerly hunt down the Kothoga within the dark tunnels of the natural history museum. The monster tears apart Castor, leaving Pollux a whimpering wreck when he is found by his handler, who is shortly after killed by the Kothoga while the poor dog looks on. When the monster appears again, the dog wastes no time hightailing it out of there as quickly as it can. | |

An earlier episode of Rugrats had Spike, the family dog, make a crazy bulldog (who had been spending part of the episode ripping through its chain to get at Tommy and his friends) run back into its doghouse in fear because he was wearing a scary mask. | |

The Adventures of Tintin (2011) has an example of a dog being scared by another dog: Snowy, a tiny Wire Fox Terrier, makes a ferocious Rottweiler twice his size whimper and roll over on its back by merely barking at it. A minute later, the Rottweiler is seen playing with Snowy. | |

Some Things Never Change: In its follow-up Finite, a traveling Mr. Krabs scares off a giant lionfish (like the one from "Spongicus") that is blocking his path to the Fountain of Youth by roaring back at it, with the beast meowing like a kitten in response. | |

Dogs in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask will ignore Link by default, affectionately follow Zora Link, and relentlessly attack Deku Link, but one look at the massive, imposing Goron Link will leave them running away yelping in terror. | |

Fluttershy from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. She's normally the resident Shrinking Violet, unless you hurt her friends. She stood up to a dragon and a cockatrice. Special mention to doing it by staring the cockatrice down, a creature with the ability to have whatever look into it's eyes be Taken for Granite. Averted in the First Season finale, where the animals at the Gala just didn't seem to like her. And then it's played straight when she snaps... |

Completely averted in Brotherhood of the Wolf where the Beast of Gévaudan, a gigantic armored creature trained by a secret cult into putting fear in the hearts of peasants in the French countryside, is itself mauled to death by a pack of wolves led by the alpha that had survived the previous slaughter of its pack by hunters blaming them for the attacks done by the Beast. | |

In the Warrior Cats Expanded Universe manga The Rise of Scourge, it's explained that Bone first met Scourge because of rumors (which Scourge himself had spread) that Scourge defeated a dog in combat. Bone and another cat named Brick got Scourge to fight another dog that had been terrorizing cats around the town. While at that point, Scourge wasn't the all-powerful cat known to fans, his badass-looking shadow was able to scare away the dog and earn him the respect of Bone. | |

In The Legend of Korra, Big Bad Amon/Noatak is revealed to be a bloodblender who, along with his brother Tarrlok, was trained by his father to get revenge on Republic City and the Avatar by forcing him to bloodbend animals. Among those animals were a pack of wolves which he used to control like marionettes, lifting them up in the air, dragging them to the ground, making them stand on their hind legs, and even making them bow towards him like servants, all of this while they were helpless and whimpering in fear. In the middle of this training, he temporarily broke his hold on them, where they took this opportunity to run away from him as fast as possible, only for Noatak to reestablish his hold and drag the terrified wolves back for more twisted bloodbending displays. | |

Guards! Guards!: Sybil Ramkin uses her knowledge of swamp dragons (which grow as big as large dogs) to try to cow a Draco nobilis (which is about the size of a building) with a sharp admonishment of "Bad dragon! SIT!" Sam Vimes finds himself almost sitting himself because of the raw Authority in her voice, but then she breaks eye contact to look for a dragon treat in her pocket, and the spell is broken. | |
