* ''Literature/TheIliad'': While feigning madness to escape participating in TheTrojanWar, Odysseus is seen plowing a beach using an ox and a donkey, sowing salt. Palamedes suspects something's up and has Odysseus' newborn son placed in the plow's path. When Odysseus swerves to avoid them, it's taken as proof of sanity and he gives up the pretense.

* ''Literature/FengshenYanyi': The supreme heads of the two Taoists sects (Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhi) move around with wooden, perfumed palanquins pulled by ''Dragons''. One of the Jie Taoists, the Sacred Mother Jinling, rides a chariot pulled by seven boar piglets, befitting her eventual apotheosis as the Chinese goddess Doumu (known as Marici in Hindu and Marishiten in Japan).

* Juovlastállu from the myths and stories of the Sámi is an [[BadSanta evil Santa Claus]] with [[vampire vampiric]] tendencies: if you don't leave out water for him on Christmas Eve, he may drink your blood instead. He travels around in a sleigh pulled by a collection of various wild animals of different sizes, with the smallest usually being a mouse and the largest a bear.

* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'': The desert-dwelling sand seals can be used to improvise a chariot-like contraption by getting one to pull you while you're riding on a shield. This is one of the most efficient ways of crossing the desert, and is needed to chase one of the Divine Beasts.

** "Literature/{{Thumbelina}}": When Thumbelina escapes the toad and her son, she floats on LeafBoat down the stream. A lovely white butterfly starts fluttering around her. Thumbelina undoes her sash and she then ties one end to the butterfly and the other end to the leaf. She keeps sailing on a butterfly-powered little Leaf Boat.

** The Disc's SantaClaus equivalent is the Literature/{{Hogfather}}, who goes around bringing gifts to good children in an elegant sleigh drawn by cute little pink pigs. Or at least the sanitized modern version does, when Death covers the Hogfather's shift, he does it with a massive crude sled built out of logs and drawn by equally huge, hairy and non-housebroken boars.
