* The film crew from ''Film/CannibalHolocaust'' 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.
* In ''Film/Constantine2005'', Mammon makes cows drop dead one by one by simply walking through a pasture in the body he possesses.

* 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.



* The Auditors of Reality from ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' are this, par for course really. Interestingly in ''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.

* "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.
* ''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.
* ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'':

* ''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.
* ''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.
* ''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.
* ''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.
* ''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.
* ''Literature/{{Shrek}}'': Shrek is so ugly that trees and plants bend away from him -- conveniently forming trails for him to walk on.
* ''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.

** This was carried over into [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings the movie adaptations]]: In ''[[Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheFellowshipOfTheRing The Fellowship of the Ring]]'' a Nazgûl draws near to where Frodo and his friends are hiding, searching for them, and its presence causes every bug and creature nearby to run off in a panic.
* The most ancient and evil vampires, such as ''Literature/{{Dracula}}'', tend to fall into this trope, with only the "children of the night" (bats, wolves and other animals seen as evil back in the day) able to abide them.
* In the seventh book of the ''Literature/SwordOfTruth'' series, 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.

* [[PowerGlows The Shining Ones]] of Creator/DavidEddings' ''Literature/TheTamuli'' 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.
* A short story in ''Upon My Word'' was about a young boy who loved animals and wanted to be a vet, but in typical irony animals hated him. (mentioning that the author is a FriendToAllLivingThings but doesn't really care about animals)
* Buddy Carson, the villain of Creator/JohnConnolly's short story "The Cancer Cowboy Rides", has a very serious case of this: he has the ability to 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.

For Eragon, this is so unpleasant and morally repugnant that he will not use this ability except in dire emergencies.
* The classic Nathaniel Hawthorne short story ''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.
* In ''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]]). And Jesus (of all people) caused a fig tree to wither out of pique (or possibly to provide a visual metaphor).
* In the ''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.

* [[TheVirus The Solanum zombie virus]] from ''Literature/TheZombieSurvivalGuide'', 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.....

* Linda Tarvara of the ''Series/{{Heroes}}'' Graphic Novels 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.
* In ''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.]]
* Mr. Mathew Chinnery, on ''Series/TheLeagueOfGentlemen'', is a completely accidental version of this. He's not evil; he's just incredibly accident-prone, due to an ancestral curse.

* ''Fanfic/AbraxasHrodvitnon'': On top of Ghidorah's points from ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019'' (see below), all of the Earthborn Titans hate 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]].

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]].
