* ''Film/RaisingArizona'': Leonard Smalls (the "Lone Biker of the Apocalypse") is introduced laying waste to the desert roadside fauna as he rides his motorcycle. He uses a shotgun to blow a lizard off a rock and tosses a grenade at a bunny rabbit purely ForTheEvulz. KickTheDog indeed.

* ''Film/RaisingArizona'': Leonard Smalls (the "Biker Of The Apocalypse") murders various animals that are standing alongside the road he's biking through with a severe amount of overkill (a double-barreled SawedOffShotgun blast for a lizard and ''a high-powered hand grenade'' for a bunny) on his EstablishingCharacterMoment.

* Some diseases may count. Consider lung tuberculosis. In some cases bearer may be unaware of his condition and go with it for ''years'', spreading deadly spores. And some people and animals are so vulnerable to this disease, that may die in months. And this is a horrible death. Check yourself and you neighbors with chest photofluorography at least once per year to get medical care in time, when condition is reversible.

* Azula, of ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' has this reaction 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 [[KickTheDog throwing rocks at any animal]] she's come into contact with.

* Wizards from the ''EnchantedForestChronicles'' 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.

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.]]

* Mr. Mathew Chinnery, on ''TheLeagueOfGentlemen'', is a completely accidental version of this. He's not evil; he's just incredibly accident-prone, due to an ancestral curse.

* As part of his general campaign of frightfulness against the Roman Empire, AttilaTheHun ''claimed'' that everywhere his horse trod, the grass would never grow again. [[CaptainObvious Since he rode all over Europe and the grass seems to be doing quite well nowadays, it is possible that he was lying about this.]]

* In ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'' series, 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.

* [[BigBad The Grox]] from {{Spore}} are hated by all living things. In fact, habitable planets cause them to die.

* Elmyra in ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' utterly terrifies any FunnyAnimal that she encounters, as her attempts to "love" cute critters [[AndCallHimGeorge tend to cause extreme pain]].

* ''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.

* [[PowerGlows The Shining Ones]] of Creator/DavidEddings' ''[[Literature/TheElenium The Tamuli]]'' 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.

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

* In ''{{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.

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

* The most ancient and evil vampires, such as ''Film/{{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.

* [[PowerGlows The Shining Ones]] of Creator/DavidEddings' ''[[TheElenium The Tamuli]]'' 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.

* The Zyglak, reptile-like monstrosities from ''Franchise/{{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. What happened to them when that Universe was destroyed and the population relocated to the home world of the Great Beings, where they could interact with people they ''didn't'' hate, hasn't been discussed.

* Elmyra in ''TinyToonAdventures'' utterly terrifies any FunnyAnimal that she encounters, as her attempts to "love" cute critters [[AndCallHimGeorge tend to cause extreme pain]].

* Spoofed in ''TheSimpsons'' episode "Guess Who's Coming to Criticize Dinner." Homer's shouting "[[CatchPhrase D'oh!]]" makes the zoo animals panic.

* ''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.

* The ''ComicBook/EarthTwo'' version of Solomon Grundy is the "Champion of the Grey", created to drain all life from the earth.

* The most ancient and evil vampires, such as ''{{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.

* Decay of MarvelComics.

* Styx gets a mention but Carrion doesn't? Guy has got a DEATH TOUCH and exists to spread it.

* In the seventh book of the ''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.

** Also [[Comicbook/{{X-Men}} Wither]]. 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.]]
** And Styx, an enemy of Comicbook/{{Spider-Man}}. 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.
** Writers have occasionally portrayed ComicBook/{{X-Men}} villain 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.

* Linda Tarvara of the ''Series/{{Heroes}}'' Graphic Novels essentially has a power similar to Rogue of the ComicBook/{{X-Men}}, 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.

* Cady from ''{{Reaper}}'' occasionally makes things around her wither and die.

* ''TheStand'': Randall Flagg has been known to cause fatal brain embolisms in various animals. And [[WalkingWasteland withers the grass where he walks]].

* In an [[AvertedTrope aversion]], Lina Inverse from ''{{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 in Slayers-world tend to be highly destructive [[FireBalls and]] [[IncendiaryExponent usually]] [[StuffBlowingUp explosive]] this is probably a good idea no matter who's casting them.

* 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]] [[ThisTropeIsNotAnExample 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.
