Rick Riordan
“[Leo] lunged at Passalos, but the red-furred dwarf was too quick. He sprang from his chair, bounced off Jason’s head, did a flip, and landed next to Leo, his hairy arms around Leo’s waist.
“Save me?” the dwarf pleaded.
“Get off!” Leo tried to shove him away, but Passalos did a backward somersault and landed out of reach. Leo’s pants promptly fell around his knees.
He stared at Passalos, who was now grinning and holding a small zigzaggy strip of metal. Somehow, the dwarf had stolen the zipper right off Leo’s pants.
“Give—stupid—zipper!” Leo stuttered, trying to shake his fist and hoist up his pants at the same time.
“Eh, not shiny enough.” Passalos tossed it away.”
Rick Riordan, The House of Hades

Christian Bök
“Hassan can, at a handclap, call a vassal at hand and ask that all staff plan a bacchanal - a gala ball that has what pagan charm small galas lack. Hassan claps, and (tah-dah) an Arab lass at a swank spa can draw a man's bath and wash a man's back, as Arab lads fawn and hang, athwart an altar, amaranth garlands as fragrant as attar - a balm that calms all angst. A dwarf can flap a palm branch that fans a fat maharajah.”
Christian Bök, Eunoia

“Petru Cobbin chciał capnąć Geralta za kołnierz, ale nie zdołał, bo do akcji wkroczył spokojny dotąd i małomówny Addario Bach. Krasnolud kopnął Cobbina w zgięcie kolana. Cobbin runął na klęczki. Addario Bach doskoczył, z rozmachem grzmotnął go pięścią w nerkę, poprawił w bok głowy. Waligóra zwalił się na pokład.
- I co z tego, że duży? - Krasnolud powiódł spojrzeniem po pozostałych. - Robi tylko większy huk, gdy pada.”
Andrzej Sapkowski, Sezon burz
