* In-Universe example in ''Manga/OnePiece'' regarding Haki, a mysterious power that can allow any living thing to use its spiritual energy, but between its rarity to awaken it and difficulty to master, it is most prominent in the New World and among the strongest of pirates and marines. However, it goes by different names in certain islands because they are for the most part isolated from the rest of the world. The people of the Sky Islands refer to the Observation aspect of Haki as Mantra, or "mind rope" and was the first experience of Observation Haki for the Strawhats. In Wano Country the Armament aspect is called Ryou, or "flowing sakura", though their practice involves channeling their offensive willpower outward.

* In ''Literature/RestaurantToAnotherWorld'', a young Tenshu and his grandfather sold an Emperor a bag of Potatoes so he could make his favorite dish: Croquettes, whenever he felt like it. [[GivingRadioToTheRomans Due to the fact that the Potato crop wasn't at all native to the fantasy world]], the "Cobblers' Tubers" had a major impact when they helped the Emperor to end a famine affecting his Empire. But if you ask Tenshu about it; [[ButForMeItWasTuesday he'll say it was just another Saturday.]]

* In ''VideoGame/BattleOfPolytopia'', each tribe has a unique native fruit and animal, many of them having fantastic names despite being based on real-life wildlife. Some examples include the Phantrix (Luxidoor elephants), Shebrons (Oumaji zebras), Øgelfuss (Bardur blueberries), and Lumaepeles (Imperius apples). [[AllThereInTheManual This only comes up in supplemental materials, though]]; in-game, they're just called "fruit" and "animal".

* ''The Death of Captain Marvel'' shows different terms for the same illness:

* ''ComicBook/ElfQuest'' has such creatures as "zwoots" (a kind of humped horse-camel hybrid) and in contrast to them, "no-humps" (better known to the reader as "horses"). Most of the planet's other flora and fauna closely resemble Earth's, except as the plot demands. The Final Quest arc exploits this more than the other Arcs, because the Elves use the Palace ship more frequently, while the Humans develop firearms. Thus: "Star Travel" for Space travel, "Pellets" for bullets, while a "pod" still is a pod, like in ordinary RealLife Space travel. Skywise even refers to the invention of Palace pods with Reference to "seed pods", used by certain plants to spread their seeds.

* In ''ComicBook/WhiteSand'', the Darksiders call dynamite "zinkallin".

* ''ComicBook/XenozoicTales'' takes place in a future where a cataclysm has both destroyed most of human civilization and brought the dinosaurs back to life. The survivors, having no record of the dinosaurs' actual names, have come up with their own names for them, such as "Shivat" and "Rock-Hopper".

** Common clucking barnyard fowl are referred to as "Cuccos". One character even refers to a cowardly character as a "Cucco". It's less out-there than most examples, since it's based on the Japanese equivalent of "cock-a-doodle-doo" (''kokke'''kokko'''h!'' --> ''kokko''). This is rampant throughout the series. Crows are called Guays, bats are Keese (except in [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Termina]], where there are Keese and Bad Bats, classified as two different species), vultures are Takkuri, snakes are Ropes, ghosts are Poes, skeletons are Stalfos, zombies are Redeads, mummies are Gibdos. However, almost all of these examples of mundane things (like Cuccos) have extraordinary powers. To use the Cucco example, chickens cannot instantly form vast indestructible {{Determinator}} flying swarms to avenge fallen brethren, whereas Cuccos ''do''. To make things more confusing, it seems [[SubvertedTrope chickens do exist by name]] in Hyrule, though for the most part they're interchangeable with Cuccos. Link obtains one as a quest item in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina of Time]]'', and in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild Breath of the Wild]]'', a Cucco enthusiast argues that if his Cuccos couldn't fly and carry heavy loads, [[LampshadeHanging "they'd just be chickens."]]
