* In ''VideoGame/{{Harvestella}},'' the PlayerCharacter's role in the plot is largely to be muscle, as they are the most powerful and versatile combatant on their team, and are the only one immune to the dangerous Quietus dust. The majority of the plot, however, is about Aria--who she is, why she's [[TrappedInAnotherWorld trapped in your world]], and what she's going to do now that she's there. She decides where the player character goes, all the important plot moments are about her, and [[HeroicMime she's the one with all the dialogue in cutscenes.]]

*''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'': Most of the movies make Ash and Pikachu into supporting protagonists while a prominent Pokémon (usually a Legendary Pokémon or a Pokémon from a future generation) serves as the main focus.

* ''Literature/MobyDick'' is narrated by Ishmael, but the main character who drives the plot - and whose journey defines the story - is Cpt. Ahab. Ishmael himself does remarkably little over the course of the book.

* Despite being the title character of ''Series/{{Castle|2009}}'', Richard Castle is the Supporting Protagonist to [[FairCop Kate Beckett]]. There's even the Literature/SherlockHolmes comparison: she's a brilliant detective while he follows her about and writes stories about their adventures. Their relationship is central to the show, Castle helps mellows out the emotionally-distant Beckett, and there's oodles of UnresolvedSexualTension. While the show may take his perspective on events, provides a lot of focus on his family life and furnishes him with a fair bit of CharacterDevelopment as well, the main overarching arc of the series surrounds Beckett's mother's murder, and he's clearly the PluckyComicRelief LoveInterest to her BrokenBird HardboiledDetective.

* Although Cecil, the CharacterNarrator of ''Podcast/WelcomeToNightVale'', has his moments of action, it's really [[LoveInterest Carlos]], [[MauveShirt Dana]] and [[LittleMissBadass Tamika]] who do the actual adventuring and heroics. Carlos seems to spend his days being a ScienceHero, Dana is on an epic quest, and Tamika is the leader of a huge resistance movement against [=StrexCorp=]... and Cecil, in his booth, tries to support them the best he can. The times when he fails can make for heavy-hitting WhamEpisode stories.
