** In the second season, Spike even [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] this by stating outright that one of the reasons he ''doesn't'' want to destroy the world is "Billions of people walking around like Happy Meals with legs." He also [[Murder the Hypotenuse|doesn't like how Angel is stealing Drusilla]], but that's beside the point.
* Rev Bem in ''[[Andromeda]]'' is always having to stop himself eating and laying his young inside his crewmates. He relies on his religion ("Wayism") to get him through the day.
* An odd, non-predatory and character-specific example comes in ''[[The Sarah Connor Chronicles]]'', where [[Robot Girl|Cameron]] admits to John Connor that, deep down, her hard-wired programming is permanently directing her to kill him at all times, and is overridden only by the other programming that the future John Connor used on her. At one point, Cameron does revert and starts trying to kill John, only to override her own termination directives at the last second.

Sam is a demon-blood-tainted human who became addicted to [[Psycho Serum|demon blood]] and the primarily-demon-exorcising power that it provides. Withdrawal kind of sucks when your main target as a hunter is demons and your weapon of choice is a knife. And then the demons use this advantage and ''make'' him [[Cold Turkeys Are Everywhere|drink their blood]]. [[Didn't Think This Through|It doesn't turn out well for them]].
