During mating season, the males would call out to the females, and once a relationship has been established, the highly territorial males would display another call to warn competitors away.

Even death did not end Dali's obsessive behavior toward her beloved hunters. She would come down from the mountains into villages to grieve dramatically over the bodies of hunters, even those whose deaths she was responsible for in the first place. Some villages had family members stand guard over freshly buried bodies to prevent Dali from unearthing them to weep over.

In the first Artemis Fowl novel, Verbil has a very small role: all that is required of him is to blow up the door holding the troll (or, as he puts it: "blowing the door off its damn hinges"), and stand guard over the ransom money, which he fails to do. In Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident, Verbil shows himself to be an amateur Don Juan, and practices his moves unsuccessfully on Captain Holly Short while on a routine surveillance shift on Chute E37, a closed Parisian pressure elevator.

Some of statues were positioned aptly: the Medici stand guard over the entrance to the building: Orcagna gazes on his main architectural project the Loggia dei Lanzi in front of the Signoria, while Cellini's statue is placed nearest to the city's former mint (Zecca), where he engraved some medals for the Medici. The warriors and defenders of Florence, Fainata, Ferrucio, Capponi, and Delle Bande Nere; all stand vigil on the Arno side of the building. Their choices must have been difficult for the Lorraine government seeking to portray themselves as defenders of the Tuscan territory. In other statues, the wit is more subtly expressed: Galileo looks at the heavens, Dante glares at the Florentines that condemned him to step into exile; while Farinata, who was condemned by Dante to the Inferno, stares off to a distance lowering his sword toward the shield bearing the heraldic lily of the Florence he defended against his fellow Ghibellines.

When the rich man suddenly dies three days later unlamented by his neighbours he is buried and the poor man keeps his side of the bargain and watches over the grave by night, returning to his humble home at daybreak.Margaret Hunt (trans.), From Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, Household Tales, George Bell and Sons, London, (1884)The Grave-Mound: Fairy tale by The Brothers Grimm - World of Tales: Stories for Children from Around the World Illustration for The Grave Mound c1890 On the third and final night a passing battle-scarred and retired soldier pauses to rest by the churchyard and says he will sit with the poor man and join him in watching over the grave.
