* ''WesternAnimation/KipoAndTheAgeOfWonderbeasts'': In a flashback episode, Emilia [[spoiler: and her brother]] go to the surface to collect cell samples from Mutes. While searching, she sees a mutant spider, kills it with her crossbow, and then extracts a hair from it. Justified here in that the spider was ''attacking'' her; she killed it in self-defense. Then again, [[BigBad Emilia]] probably would've killed it even if it had been minding its own business.

As SuperPoweredRobotMeterMaids, said equipment is a three-foot metal spike that they will attempt to spear directly into her cranium if they catch her.
