Alligators are Archer's biggest fear. During the events of Pipeline Fever, Archer attempts fishing with a bow and arrow. Instead of shooting a fish, he accidentally shoots an alligator in the head. This enrages the gator and it attacks Archer and Lana aboard the airboat. As Archer attempts to shoot the gator, he misses and ends up shooting a hole in the deck of the airboat.
