7	This is the PureIsNotGood version of the FriendToAllLivingThings. While a Friend To All Living Things causes animals to flock to him/her because of their sweetness and innocence, the evil energies of an Enemy to All Living Things causes animals to flee from them or, if he/she's powerful enough, ''die''. In that case, their energies can also cause [[WalkingWasteland plants to rot and decay.]]
8
9	If the character causes living things to die, the heroes are sometimes (but not always) exempted from this. Expect them to suffer as if under a slow acting poison, mana drain, or to have their stats lowered.
10
11	Contrast FisherKing, where they have to rule first, but cause destruction on a much vaster scale. See also AnimalsHateHim for when the creatures don't run away.
12
13	Compare with OmnicidalManiac and, to a certain degree, EldritchAbomination. See WalkingWasteland for a more powerful form of this. See PoisonousPerson for a toxic touch variant. This is also why the EvilDetectingDog is man's best friend. If others are drawn to killing the person rather than running away or dying, it's EverythingTryingToKillYou.

15	!!Examples

17	[[foldercontrol]]
18
19	[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
20	* In ''Manga/BusoRenkin'', [[spoiler:Victor]]'s (and later [[spoiler:Kazuki]]'s) energy drain ability causes him to constantly absorb the life force of everyone and everything around him and [[PowerIncontinence can never be shut off]]. Victor relates it to breathing, implying that to be denied their energy sustenance would kill them.
21	* ''Anime/DragonBallZ'': Android 16 outright calls Cell as such, realizing he's a threat to all living beings on the planet and will wipe them out just because he can. Being a FriendToAllLivingThings, the thought of Cell doing so is what drives 16, who had spent several chapters/episodes refusing to fight anyone but Goku due to his programming, to [[NeutralNoLonger step in and fight him]]. He definitely proves as such after becoming perfect, since his endgame once he wins the Cell Games is to wipe out all life across the entire universe.
22	* Hyatt in ''Anime/ExcelSaga'' drains the life from a good portion of a city park just by sitting under a tree. In a different episode, her blood kills passing birds that happen to fly through its evaporation fumes, and Excel finds her by following the dead-bird trail. Hyatt isso ill that she can kill anything by being in close proximity.
23	* People in ''Manga/FairyTail'' become this when afflicted with the Black Magic of Ankhselam, a curse that gives them an InstantDeathRadius, though only if they ''don't'' want to kill anybody. The only way to control this power is by becoming a murderous sociopath. This includes [[BigBad Zeref the Black Wizard]] and [[spoiler:Mavis, both of whom were a FriendToAllLivingThings before being cursed]].
24	* In an [[AvertedTrope aversion]], Lina Inverse from ''Literature/{{Slayers}}'' is ''called'' "[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast The Enemy of All Who Live]]" due to her... rather destructive temper. She displays none of the signs of this trope apart from everyone running away when she starts to cast a spell, and given that many spells tend to be highly destructive and [[StuffBlowingUp usually explosive]], this is probably a good idea no matter who's casting them.
25	* In ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'', [[PsychoPsychologist Professor Frank]] is this, but only in the Spirit World, where he seems to exude an evil aura that corrupts and rots the ecosystem, causing Ancient Fairy Dragon to intervene and try to kill him. (Ruka pleads with her to spare him, but when that fails, she is able to force a draw in their duel to end it and "kick" them both out of the place.)
26	* ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'':
27	** In the Sacred Beasts are like this, but only to Duel Spirits. Summoning causes Duel Spirits to weaken (and presumably, eventually die) their life energy strengthening both the demons and whoever is using them. This is powerful enough to effect the whole world, apparently, and even seems to affect Spirits which would not technically be considered "living things" (like Machine monsters). Fortunatley, defeating them causes the victims to recover.
28	** [[LightIsNotGood The Light of Ruin]] is a CosmicEntity that despises all life. Pegasus believes that its influence has caused wars, famines, plagues, and all sorts of bad things throughout history when its vile light was brightest. This is emphasized by the FinalBattle with its UnwittingPawn Saiou, where a Field Spell he uses not only negates the effects of Judai's monsters, but causes the Duel Spirits (including the Neo-Spacians) visible pain.
29	[[/folder]]
30
31	[[folder:Comic Books]]
32	* ''ComicBook/TheDeathOfSuperman'': Doomsday was an attempt to create the UltimateLifeForm via granting him the ability to die and come back to life with the ability to adapt to whatever had killed him and dumping him on the savage pre-historic Krypton. The suffering of dying and resurrecting countless times has given him an instinctual hatred for all life and he thus considers even the smallest and most harmless creatures as threats to be killed instantly.
33	* The ''ComicBook/Earth2'' version of Solomon Grundy is the "Champion of the Grey", created to drain all life from the earth.
34	* ''ComicBook/GreenLantern'':
35	** Creepy necrophile Black Hand, particularly in the CrisisCrossover ''ComicBook/BlackestNight'', in which he becomes the [[TheDragon champion]] of the Black Lanterns, who are essentially zombies and the personification of death itself.
36	** Nekron, the [[BigBad Lord of the Black Lantern Corps]], is actually worse. He's not out to kill all life, but destroy ''life as a metaphysical concept.''
37	* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'':
38	** Styx, who is half of the supervillain team Styx and Stone. It's not clear whether this result of curing his cancer means he's BlessedWithSuck or not, since he very much enjoys what he does.
39	** Carrion has a ''death touch'' and exists to spread it.
40	* ''ComicBook/WonderWoman'':
41	** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987'': Decay rapidly unmakes things she touches, and can turn metal and stone to crumbling dust and can put people into critical condition just by being near them. Touching her is generally fatal, and smaller animals can't survive her presence.
42	** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman2006'': Genocide causes physical pain and inflicts mental anguish combined with her HatePlague on those near her. She also intends to kill, and later torture and kill, every living thing.
43	* ''ComicBook/XMen'':
44	** Pestilence, one of Apocalypse's {{horsemen\|OfTheApocalypse}}, is probably one of the most obvious examples of the trope. Given, she was ''made'' to be an enemy to all living things.
45	** Also Wither from ''ComicBook/NewXMenAcademyX'', but that's more of a case of [[BlessedWithSuck his mutant power]], and less that he's that terrifying -- he's really just an EmoTeen. [[spoiler:Before his FaceHeelTurn, anyway.]]
46	** Writers have occasionally portrayed Mojo as being this, too. ComicBook/DoctorStrange has made it clear that if Mojo left his PocketDimension and came to Earth, it would be a ''very'' bad thing.
47	[[/folder]]
48
49	[[folder:Fan Works]]
50	* ''Fanfic/AbraxasHrodvitnon'': On top of Ghidorah's points from ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019'' (see below), all of the Earthborn Titans hate [[Characters/AbraxasHrodvitnonKingGhidorah Ghidorah]] when they're in control of their own faculties, and they would much rather obey Godzilla or try themselves to kill any trace of Ghidorah. Ghidorah can only get the Titans to do its bidding by [[MindControlMusic dominating them with its Alpha Call]].
51	[[/folder]]
52
53	[[folder:Films -- Animated]]
54	* In ''Anime/PrincessMononoke'', the slime coating the demons kills every living thing they come in contact with and vice-versa.
55	[[/folder]]
56
57	[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
58	* ''Film/CannibalHolocaust'': The film crew brutally murder animals in the most sadistic way possible. The animal killings were all real, so this trope can also apply to the real-life filmmakers.
59	* ''Film/Constantine2005'': Mammon makes cows drop dead one by one by simply walking through a pasture in the body he possesses.
60	* ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'':
61	** [[Film/GodzillaVsDestoroyah Destoroyah]] and [[Film/RebirthOfMothra Desghidorah]]. The former was mutated from anaerobic life forms by the substance that killed [[Film/{{Gojira}} the 1954 Godzilla]] and can destroy oxygen itself, the latter is a three-headed dragon that sucks the life from plants, leaving entire worlds brown and dead.
62	** ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019'': [[Characters/MonsterVerseKingGhidorah King Ghidorah]] is quite emphatically this trope. Whereas most of the [[{{Kaiju}} Titans]] have a [[FertileFeet renewing effect on Earth's ecosystems]] and are key to maintaining the natural balance, Ghidorah [[FisherKing spreads catastrophic tempests]] which could engulf the entire planet, and upon usurping Godzilla as the dominant Alpha Titan, he [[OmnicidalManiac threatens to cause a global extinction event that will eradicate humanity along with most if not all other life on Earth]]. Monarch discovers that this is [[{{Sadist}} partly]] because unlike the other Titans, Ghidorah [[spoiler:is extraterrestrial in origin, and therefore [[IntroducedSpeciesCalamity doesn't conform to our planet's established natural order]]]].
63	* ''Film/TheHobbit'': The dragon [[Characters/MiddleEarthFilmSmaug Smaug]] is presented this way. During his conquest of the Lonely Mountain and his subsequent centuries-long stay inside, his fire-breath has reduced the mountain's sides and surrounding lands from lush green terrain with trees and birdsong to a bare, gray waste where only snails and the most basic plant life grow, as said by Balin in a deleted scene of [[Film/TheHobbitTheDesolationOfSmaug second movie]]. Notably, when Smaug is killed [[spoiler:at Lake-town]] in the [[Film/TheHobbitTheBattleOfTheFiveArmies third movie]], ravens come ''flocking'' back to the Lonely Mountain within seconds.
64	* Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheFellowshipOfTheRing'': When a Nazgûl draws near to where Frodo and his friends are hiding, searching for them, its presence causes every bug and creature nearby to run off in a panic.
65	* ''Film/RaisingArizona'': Leonard Smalls (the "Lone Biker of the Apocalypse") is introduced laying waste to the roadside fauna as he rides his motorcycle through the desert. He uses a shotgun to blow a lizard off a rock and tosses a grenade at a bunny rabbit purely ForTheEvulz. KickTheDog indeed.
66	* ''Literature/TheRing'': Samara's [[MindRape powers]] instill fear on everything, but they are especially impactful on horses. Years ago, her appearance in the Morgan residence caused their horses to commit suicide ''en masse'' by jumping into the sea. In the present, when Rachel, upon being touched by Samara's curse, approaches a horse, it also immediately jumps into the sea.
67	* ''Film/{{UHF}}'': Raul Hernandez hosts an educational show on wildlife called "Raul's Wild Kingdom" from his apartment, but some of the things he does on the show include licking turtle bottoms and throwing them up onto the roof, saying they're "nature's suction cup", shaking ant farms, and "teaching poodles how to fly" [[CrossesTheLineTwice by throwing them right out of his window]]. [[DiedDuringProduction Sadly, due to Trinidad Silva's death during production]], the film had to abort his subplot before [[spoiler:the poodles got their revenge.]]
68	[[/folder]]
69
70	[[folder:Literature]]
71	* "The Cancer Cowboy Rides": Buddy Carson has a very serious case of this: he can transmit a deadly form of cancer to anyone he touches with bare flesh, the severity of the disease depending on how long they were in contact. Initially, Buddy only used this power to avoid suffering the symptoms of his own disease, but now occasionally [[EvilFeelsGood uses it out of sheer sadism]]. Quite naturally, animals and intuitive humans are agitated by his presence, and generally avoid shaking hands with him.
72	* ''Literature/{{Cerberon}}'': Due to his demonic aura, Darkram creeps out any living thing he comes close to. It was bad enough that Aladavan used zombie horses to draw the wagon they were both riding in. Zombie horses raise another set of problems altogether.
73	* ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'': The Auditors of Reality consider all forms of life to be aberrations on the perfect, cold order of the universe. Interestingly, ''Literature/ThiefOfTime'' goes into detail of how their presence causes an increase in malignity -- ordinary objects becoming more hostile to non-objects. Buttered bread become [[SlipperySkid tripping hazards]], ropes and hoses tie themselves [[InstantKnots into knots]], wouldn't be surprised rakes get [[RakeTake under foot]] too.
74	* ''Literature/{{Dreamcatcher}}'': The aliens in the Creator/StephenKing book and film. They caused even the wolves and bears to run for their lives.
75	* ''Literature/EnchantedForestChronicles'': Wizards have a variation on this. The ability only works on magical creatures and plants, because what they're actually doing is [[EnergyAbsorption stealing the magic from them]]. It mostly shows in the destruction of the titular forest wherever they go, and on dragons. That doesn't work very well because a side-effect makes the dragons start sneezing fireballs all over.
76	* ''Literature/HarryPotter'': The Dementors are portrayed as this in series, particularly in [[Film/HarryPotter the films]] where they kill plants simply by being in the vicinity.
77	* ''Literature/InheritanceCycle'': Magicians can use the LifeEnergy of others to fuel their magic. Since most plants and animals have less energy than a person, this generally results in everything in the vicinity dying. For Eragon, this is so unpleasant and morally repugnant that he will not use this ability except in dire emergencies.
78	* ''Literature/LordOfTheRings'': The Nazgûl. Dogs and other domestic animals howl and/or scatter whenever one comes near. It's explicitly noted at one point that the Nazgûls' horses have to be specially raised and trained.
79	* ''Literature/MagicTheGathering'': In the novels, Phage the Untouchable is this trope cranked into overdrive. She destroys every living and once-living thing that comes in contact with her, including things like cotton Among other things, this means she can only sleep on bare rock and wear silk, and has to eat with a special fork that keeps food from touching her lips and thus rotting before she can taste it.
80	* ''Literature/{{Shrek}}'': Shrek is so ugly that trees and plants bend away from him -- conveniently forming trails for him to walk on.
81	* ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'': The Others are uniformly hostile to all forms of life. They target the surviving giants the same as they do human tribes, and warred against the Children of the Forest during their original invasion. They even target animals, killing them and raising them as wights, and forcing the herds and flocks of the north to flee southwards alongside the human and giant refugees.
82	* ''Literature/TheStand'': Randall Flagg has been known to cause fatal brain embolisms in various animals. And [[WalkingWasteland withers the grass where he walks]].
83	* ''Franchise/StarWarsExpandedUniverse'': This is a common expression of Sith evil, for example in ''The Jedi Academy Trilogy'' when Kyp Durron at first uses an 'unpleasantness field' to drive away annoying flies, and later in full-on evil mode the very plants wither where he steps.
84	* ''Literature/SwordOfTruth'': In the seventh book, ''The Pillars of Creation'', Oba listens to the whispers of The Keeper of the Underworld and animals start fearing him. Later, Jennsen realizes she has been corrupted as well when her goat runs away from her.
85	* ''Literature/TheTamuli'': The Shining Ones can cause the immediate decomposition of any organic matter they touch... most notably, living humans. This is the result of a very literal case of CursedWithAwesome, and since they're mostly rather gentle, they {{Wangst}} a lot whenever they actually have to use it. Fortunately, they've learned to control it, so it only activates when they want it to... while it's not stated outright, it's likely that when the curse was originally inflicted on them, it [[PowerIncontinence killed anyone they came in touch with]], other Shining Ones being the sole exception.
86	* "Upon My Word": A young boy loves animals and wants to be a vet, but in typical irony animals hate him.
87	* "Young Goodman Brown" features a nameless individual who is strongly hinted to be TheDevil. He picks himself a walking stick, and the story describes how the leaves wither as his fingers approach them.
88	* ''Literature/TheZombieSurvivalGuide'': [[TheVirus The Solanum zombie virus]], which doubles as UniversalPoison. [[ArtisticLicenseBiology Every animal on the planet]] will instinctively flee from the smell of a zombie. In the follow-up, ''Literature/WorldWarZ'', Israel uses this aversion for their benefit, by using dogs to screen incoming refugees. If the dogs react normally to you, you're accepted. If they freak out when you walk past them.....
89	[[/folder]]
90
91	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
92	* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'':
93	** The First Evil's minions, the nightmarish Harbingers, have the ability to render their surroundings sterile, such as trees and animals.
94	** Adam is this to the living, the dead ''and'' the undead.
95	* ''Series/{{Heroes}}'': Linda Tarvara essentially has a power similar to Rogue of the ComicBook/XMen, being able to suck the life (Indeed, it's implied the very essence or "Soul") out of someone. The difference between her and Rogue? She really, REALLY likes doing it. Yeah, she's a sick puppy.
96	* ''Series/KamenRider555'': Kitazaki turns living creatures to ash by touching them - [[BlessedWithSuck whether he wants to or not]]. [[PsychoForHire Though he doesn't care, either.]]
97	* ''Series/TheLeagueOfGentlemen'': Mr. Mathew Chinnery is a completely accidental version of this. He's not evil; he's just incredibly accident-prone, due to an ancestral curse.
98	* ''Series/TheNanny'': [[RichBitch C.C. Babcock]], to such a degree that [[EvilDetectingDog even her dog Chester doesn't care for her]].
99	** In "The Car Show", C.C. was able to tell, over the car phone, that Fran had hit a rabbit while driving by recognizing the noise. To repeat: She was able, over the phone, to identify what Fran hit, '''down to the species''', merely by the sound it made when it was hit by a car.
100	** In "Yetta's Lettas", [[DidYouJustHaveSex after having sex with]] [[spoiler:Niles]], she's seen singing and dancing with animals like a Disney princess.
101	* ''Series/PowerRangersSPD'': Emperor Gruum can make flowers wither by standing too close to them, even when he's "disguised" as a human being.
102	* ''Series/{{Reaper}}'': Cady occasionally makes things around her wither and die.
103	* ''Franchise/StarTrek'':
104	** ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'': "[[Recap/StarTrekS2E18TheImmunitySyndrome The Immunity Syndrome]]" has a very large creature which drains all energy. This causes the crew to become extremely tired and it is implied would eventually kill the crew and take all energy from the ship besides.
105	** ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' has the crystalline entity, which strips each planet it encounters of all life for food, right down to the bacteria in the soil.
106	[[/folder]]
107
108	[[folder:Music]]
109	* ''Music/ElCuartetoDeNos'': "Maten las Ballenas"[[note]] Kill the Whales [[/note]] the narrator talks about how he hated nature [[EnfanteTerrible ever since he was a child]] and that he tortured his pets and watered plants with kerosene and how he loves seeing nature suffer[[/folder]]
110
111	[[folder:Mythology and Religion]]
112	* Literature/TheBible: As part of his punishment for being the first murderer, God makes Cain into one ([[IronicHell as his primary talent beforehand was farming]]).
113	%%* Even though he mostly targets humans, {{Satan}} is sometimes described this way.%%What way?
114	* Myth/ClassicalMythology:
115	** Medusa makes every living thing that has the misfortune of seeing her [[TakenForGranite turn into stone]] -- it was actually involuntary on her part, and only her sisters, blind creatures, and (probably) the gods were immune. Unlike most adaptations/shout-outs, her victims remain stone even after she dies, and her severed head has the same effect.
116	** King Midas probably applies as a subversion, since his ability to transform objects he comes in contact with into gold soon turns on himself as well. The man was foolish enough to wish for such a thing in the first place.
117	* Myth/NorseMythology: As Surtur leads the Sons of Muspell to the final battle in [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt Ragnarök]], his mere presence causes humans to collapse lifeless and rocks to dissolve.
118	[[/folder]]
119
120	[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
121	* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''
122	** The Blighter Prestige Class, which is the anti-Druid. One of the first powers they gain is the ability to cause deforestation, and they are required to do this every single day to gain their daily spell allotment. They also have stunted casting and need to have a number of Druid levels that can't do anything. The class is quite infamous for being very poor.
123	** The Cancer Mage is of a similar bent, being a walking plague-rat that can inflict all kinds of horrific diseases onto living things.
124	** The Greater Consumptive Field spell also counts, especially with DMM/Persist {{munchkin}}ry. In essence, anything with less than 10 hit points that comes within 30 feet of you dies. This includes birds, kittens, wounded enemies and small children. And everything killed in this way makes you stronger.
125	** Another D&D example is the wraith monster. Animals refuse to go within 30 feet of them and panic if forced to.
126	* In the ''TabletopGame/DarkSun'' setting, every single wizard is an example of this trope; they drain life from the plants around them to fuel their magic. Some learn to limit their destruction so as not to cause permanent damage. Most... don't. The most powerful example of the latter is the Dragon (not to be confused with the [[TheDragon trope of the same name]]), which consumes animal as well as plant life and whose depredations are largely responsible for the ravaged state of the Dark Sun world.
127	* ''TabletopGame/{{Ravenloft}}'':
128	** Elven vampires in the ''TabletopGame/{{Ravenloft}}'' setting are hated and feared by woodland animals, who flee from them in terror, a cruel fate for someone who was so loved by them in life. Even worse, they are cursed with the Black Thumb, which kills plants on contact. However, while small plants die instantly, larger ones take a few hours, and trees take about a week, the vampire feeling the pain they suffer as they die. Unfortunately, touching a tree is a requirement for their [[TeleportSpam tree-stepping]] ability, [[MortonsFork which they must use to avoid death]] if [[ContractualBossImmunity reduced to zero hit points.]]
129	** Also Celestials, oddly enough. Since evil permeates the fabric of Ravenloft, the aura of pure goodness that they radiate is destructive to the fabric of reality. It gradually begins twisting and warping nearby land, plants and living creatures, and not in a good way.
130	* The Harrowed in ''TabletopGame/{{Deadlands}}''. Usually animals just detect their undead state by smell and fear them, but they also have Harrowed Edges that let them embrace the trope fully. They also have troubles riding horses.
131	* ''TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}'': The Abyssal Exalted can have this happen to them, depending on how much Resonance they have accumulated. Effects range from merely killing nearby insects to causing miscarriages to spawning a Shadowland.
132	** And given that two of the Yozi's themes involve Magical Soul Fission Punch and Superspeed Murder Buddha, Green Sun Princes aren't necessarily much more friendly to living creatures. The former can hit enemies so hard that they explode and give nightmares to anyone sleeping near the punch-site for the next thousand years, and blaze into a blindingly beautiful light that melts the skin off of anything nearby that is neither sufficiently powerful nor willing to immediately praise the Yozi's power.
133	* In ''TabletopGame/{{GURPS}}'' the disadvantages Frightens Animals and Lifebane. Frightens Animals is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. Lifebane is essentially the uncontrollable ability to kill any life that comes within a certain radius, as long as it's small enough. For example, grass and mosquitos would be affected, but not a centuries-old oak tree or an elephant. This sounds like an advantage on paper, but because it's hard to keep up TheMasquerade when grass is dying wherever you walk.
134	* The daemons and mortal champions of Nurgle, the Chaos God of entropy and decay, in ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' have this effect, as they spread disease wherever they walk. The most powerful of Nurgle's daemons make plants turn to mulch, metal rust and ferrocete crumple to dust by their mere presence.
135	** Interestingly, since the Chaos Gods are always wrestling with their duality, Nurgle is ''also'' a FriendToAllLivingThings. If you can get past [[ThePigpen the smell]] he's actually a pleasant entity to deal with, and encourages his followers to act the same way ([[AffablyEvil albeit evilly]]). Despite his corrupting and destructive nature, Nurgle sees himself as a ''creative'' force in the universe. Kind of hard to imagine since he is the god of disease and corruption, but when you break it down he's just singleminded: Nurgle loves life. '''''All''''' life. [[BodyHorror Bacteria]] [[ExactWords are technically alive]].
136	** The Necrons are also a good example of this. Their aim is to destroy all organic life in the universe, every planet they conquer is left with nothing but a barren desert devoid of life, even microscopic life. [[CharacterizationMarchesOn Not so much in the latest editions.]] Some of the various reawakened Necron Lords have goals other than "kill everything". One in particular actually wants to ''preserve'' organic life so that he can one day use that biomass to create new flesh and blood bodies for the Necrons.
137	* Phage the Untouchable, from ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering''. Not only does she kill any creature she damages (which is a fairly common ability), she does the same to ''players'', too. This sounds like quite the GameBreaker, but she's pricy to cast, and if you try to cheat her into play she kills ''you'' instead.
138	* In ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'', Chaos god Tzeentch's chosen, Aekold Helbrass, is a subversion. No doubt his alignment, Aekold is cursed with the "gift" of life. The mutating powers of Chaos have granted him the ability to create life wherever he goes. Wherever he stands, flowers and plants spring into life, and doorframes sprout new life, growing leaves and branches spontaneously. Even the wounds of himself and those around him will stitch themselves back together, no matter the severity.
139	[[/folder]]
140
141	[[folder:Toys]]
142	* The Zyglak, reptile-like monstrosities from ''Toys/{{Bionicle}}'', hate the entire Matoran Universe and everything in it, because they were created by a weird experimentation accident and subsequently shunned by not only their creators, the Great Beings, but everyone else. They especially hate Matoran. Whatever happened to them when that Universe was destroyed in a battle and the population relocated to Spherus Magna (the newly-reformed homeworld of the Great Beings), where they could interact with people they ''didn't'' hate, hasn't been discussed. (However, in an alternate universe where the Great Spirit died before Spherus Magna could be reformed and the Matoran Universe's population had to be relocated to the surface of Spherus Magna's fragment Aqua Magna, the Zyglak were not allowed to come with the rest of the population.)
143	[[/folder]]
144
145	[[folder:Video Games]]
146	* [[BigBad The Grox]] from ''VideoGame/{{Spore}}'' are hated by all living things. In fact, habitable planets cause them to die.
147	* ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}}'':
148	** In ''Warcraft III'', the [[TheUndead Scourge]] structures create Blight, which rots the soil and trees it comes in contact with. In the campaign, its shown that Archimonde can create it wherever he walks.
149	** Similarly, in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', even though they don't have the ability in the game, a Warlock is shown to have a similar ability in the opening cinematic.
150	** Said Blight is persistent enough that in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', several zones are permanently in that state, and the Blood Elf zones have a line of it, called the Dead Scar, marking the main attack line where Arthas and his army forced their way to the Sunwell, source of the Elven magic.
151	*** Death Knights can summon temporary Blight with "Desecration" which includes [[RuleOfCool evil grabbing skeleton hands]].
152	** Sargeras is the ultimate Enemy To All Living Things as the [[EvilOverlord leader]] of the [[LegionsOfHell Burning Legion]]. "Lesser beings quake and flee in his presence".
153	* [[spoiler:Estelle]] from ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia'' is causing the world to slowly die ''simply by existing.''
154	* Darth Nihilus from ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublicIITheSithLords'' feeds on living things through the force.
155	* The Reapers in ''Franchise/MassEffect''. They regularly enter the galaxy and wipe out all spacefaring races, [[spoiler:using their bodies to create more of their own kind.]]
156	* ''VideoGame/AgeOfWonders'' (and sequels) has a couple versions of this. A unit with the "Path of Decay" ability will kill tiles in its path, turning them to wasteland, while the spell "Darkland" will gradually produce the same effect on all tiles within your spellcasting range. This can have in-game impact, as certain races get economic and morale bonuses or penalties on certain terrain types.
157	* Dr. Vile/Weil of the ''VideoGame/MegaManZero'' series is better described as everyone's enemy. He's responsible for a war that wiped out over half the human and Reploids (sentient robots), and he aims to make the existence of all of them a living hell in revenge for the punishment he received for his war crimes. Taken to even further in ''VideoGame/MegaManZero4'', in which he plans to destroy [[LastFertileRegion the only place fit for human habitation]] outside of his rule, even after the city he rules is destroyed.
158	* [[spoiler:Queen Nashandra]] of ''Videogame/DarkSoulsII''. To the point that [[spoiler:even her ''portrait'']] drains humanity. During the battle against her, most of her attacks are Dark-element attacks that inflict Curse, which accelerates the victim's Hollowing.
159	* The Cravers of ''Videogame/EndlessSpace'', being a race of HordeOfAlienLocusts augmented with cybernetics that was engineered for war, are the enemies of all living things in the galaxy. They [[HardcodedHostility cannot engage in diplomacy bar temporary ceasefires and declarations of war]], and their [[PlanetLooters population eventually begins to consume the planet's resources due to over-exploitation]], forcing them to continuously engage in wars of expansion.
160	* In ''VisualNovel/{{Demonbane}}'', Master Therion is often referred to as "The World's Natural Enemy", which is pretty accurate, as Therion doesn't really see anyone else as anything more than tools at best, and will gladly slaughter anything that inconveniences him for even an instant. The sole exception is the protagonist, whom Therion considers a WorthyOpponent... and thus a [[CombatSadoMasochist source of entertainment]].
161	* This is the "blessing" conferred upon Princess Belladonna in the seventh ''VideoGame/DarkParables'' game. Anyone she injures, even slightly or accidentally, will die. Only [[spoiler:her half-sister Rapunzel, who has healing powers and is a FriendToAllLivingThings,]] is immune to her deadly abilities. [[spoiler:This has resulted in Belladonna becoming a ClingyJealousGirl who wants to keep her big sister all to herself.]]
162	* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls''
163	** Almost nothing living will willingly ally itself with a [[OurLichesAreDifferent lich]], leading to most liches raising their own undead servants. The one exception is that some liches will work with still-living necromancers, to whom they serve as an EvilMentor.
164	** This is a trait of Hagravens, a species of flightless [[HarpingOnAboutHarpies harpies]] who were once mortal women that traded their humanity for access to powerful magic in a ritual that requires human sacrifice. Save for their [[BarbarianTribe Reachmen]] followers, who revere the Hagravens as matriarchs, the Hagravens seem to view ''life itself'' as their enemy. This [[ArchEnemy puts them at significant odds]] with [[PlantPeople Spriggans]], who are considered "[[GaiasVengeance Nature's Guardians]]" and are often found attacking Hagravens.
165	* The Wither in ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}''. A powerful undead boss, it attacks everything else that isn't also undead with its exploding projectiles (which inflict the [[MakeThemRot Wither status effect]], to boot).

168	[[folder:Webcomics]]
169	* Secret of ''Webcomic/KeychainOfCreation'' is a nice enough girl, despite being one of the Abyssal Exalted. However, when she wants to hold a baby orphan (or at least, baby whose parents were kidnapped), a bird spontaneously dies and lands on her head. They take it as a sign letting her do so is a bad idea.
170	** This is a reflection of Resonance, the nasty side effect for rebellious Abyssal Exalted who regret the fact that they made a deal with a monster and [[IJustWantToBeNormal just want to be normal]]. The more they try to act human (refer to themselves by their old name, have sex with humans, etc.), the nastier things get around them.
171	* Death in ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'', sometimes when he just walks by something (Buddha can sometimes restore), sometimes [[http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=4241 more actively]]. (He's also been revolted by the sight of a pregnant woman, or a leaf still hanging from a tree late in autumn.)

174	[[folder:Web Original]]
175	* [[HumanoidAbomination The Plague Doctor]] from ''Franchise/TheFearMythos''. [[http://strangeandsecretfaces.blogspot.com/2011/05/fever-ship.html Just read this.]]

178	[[folder:Western Animation]]
179	* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'':
180	** Azula's presence causes alarm from a number of animals, especially Turtle-Ducks. Admittedly, this is not from any [[EvilDetectingDog internal quality]], so much as the fact that she's apparently spent years [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals throwing rocks at any animal]] she's come into contact with.
181	** Hana extracts water from plants to lethal effect, and animals are [[{{Squick}} largely made of water]]. Then there's the whole [[PeoplePuppets Bloodbending thing]]...
182	* Vicky in ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddparents''.
183	** In one episode, Timmy's mother also applies, [[WalkingWasteland killing any and all plants she touches]]. When she bemoans this fact, everyone (including her own husband) takes a step away from her.
184	--->'''Timmy's Dad''': Oh, ''[[TheRival Dinkleberg]]'', come here and give my wife a ''congratulatory handtouch!''
185	** Timmy's Dad also counts, when he decided to start a farm the plant he touches dies and a tombstone grows on it. This is even used as a plot point: Apparently Timmy's Dad is the only one who can kill those magically enhanced crops Timmy wished for.
186	* Elmyra in ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' utterly terrifies any FunnyAnimal that she encounters, as her attempts to "love" cute critters [[AndCallHimGeorge tend to cause extreme pain]]. She is such a horror that when her dead pets come back to life to get revenge, Elmyra's attempts at "playing" again with them (which causes further BodyHorror) and "clean them up" (which dissolves them on the sink) horrifies them and they ''try to kill themselves again to get away from her''.
187	* Death in ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' has a longstanding crush on a girl who works in a pet shop. Trouble is, he can't go in to ask her out as all the animals start thrashing and yowling.
188	** When Death finally gets the chance to date her, she is [[GranolaGirl so annoyingly pro-eco]] that he uses his touch of death to kill her.
189	** Peter gets to take over death's duties for one episode and has to constantly remind himself not to touch plants or people. Sadly he remembers this ''after'' killing the airplane pilot.
190	* Spoofed in ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' episode "Guess Who's Coming to Criticize Dinner." Homer's shouting "D'oh!" makes the zoo animals panic.
191	** Also, the opening theme on one of the Halloween specials has Death sitting on the couch when the family rushes in. When they all drop dead in front of him, he uses the pile of corpses for a footrest.
192	* ''WesternAnimation/SushiPack'': The very presence of Sir Darkly causes everyone in the vicinity to instantly burst into tears. On top of that, wherever he goes flowers wilt, ice cream scoops fall off of cones, and water even freezes.
193	* Most versions of Megatron in ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' display this in some shape or form. In the original cartoon, he at one point found a MacGuffin that turned machines into transformers, and when used on anything else would turn into metal, giving him the idea of using it to make Earth into a world like Cybertron.
194	** The Beast Era Megatron, especially during ''WesternAnimation/BeastMachines'' where he hates organic life to the point where he loathes even having a beast mode and desires to remove any trace of it.
195	** ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' Megatron has a hate for organics, but where he really displays being an Enemy To All Living Things is that fact that series implies that the war he started left Cybertron unfit even for Transformers to inhabit. Recap, he left a planet unfit to support machines.
196	** More so than Megatron, [[GodofEvil Unicron]] has this, his only goal in any version of him being to destroy planet after planet until there is nothing left in the universe.
197	* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' features CorruptCorporateExecutive Derek Powers, who got turned into the radioactive mutant villain Blight. In his true form his body glows green with radiation, and his skeleton shows through like an X-ray. His medical staff have invented an artificial skin which restores his original appearance and also protects people around him from the radiation he gives off, but this skin needs to be periodically replaced as it always deteriorates, which happens faster whenever he gets angry. When fighting as Blight he’s like a walking nuclear meltdown. He once boasts to Mr. Freeze,
198	--> "And behold, I shall be a blight upon the land, and everything I touch shall wither and die!"

202	* According to a Brazilian soccer aphorism, goalkeeper is such an accursed occupation that, wherever one steps, the grass stops growing. This is probably a joke coming from the fact that the grass around goals is usually the most bare due to being walked on the most.
203	* As part of his general campaign of frightfulness against the Roman Empire, UsefulNotes/AttilaTheHun claimed that everywhere his horse trod, the grass would never grow again. This is subverted in reality, though.
204	* Some diseases may count. Consider lung tuberculosis. In some cases, the bearer may be unaware of their condition and live with it for years, spreading deadly spores. Some people and animals are so vulnerable to this disease, they may die within months, and this is a horrible death. Check yourself and your neighbors with chest photofluorography at least once per year, in order to get medical care while the condition is still reversible.
