* In the ''[[VideoGame/MysteryCaseFiles Ravenhearst]]'' game's numerous sequels, TV Head ''Mannequins'' are something of a signature gimmick of the Dalimar clan.

* Ibor, Synonamess Botch's GiantMook, in ''Film/TwiceUponATime''. Unlike most other examples of this trope, it possesses little to no sentience, strictly following Botch's orders without question.

Added DiffLines:
