From the same comic series as #1, involving Terra and Artess Dragoness.

I won't get into details, but Terra has no thumbs. As such, any time she holds her swords, she needs to have a very, very strong grip on it. Now, on her stone sword, she has no troubles. On normal swords... she tends to snap the handle often.

Terra rages a bit, and Artess craps her pants. And lays an egg. Artess has some of Terra's blood in her, and thus tends to feel each others emotions, for better or worse.
