** [[spoiler:Considering that Ta-She and Mumm-Ra seemed surprised when it didn't work on Cheetara, two possibilities came to this troper's mind: 1) Ta-She never tried it on women before and just (wrongly) assumed it would work on everyone; 2) She tried it on a woman before and it worked, possibly because the target [[LesYay was naturally susceptible to female charms]], what's not Cheetara's case]].

* [[spoiler:Sakura]] in ''LightNovel/{{Kampfer}}''.

* Mezmerella of ''ComicBook/TheIncredibles'' comic.

* In ''LightNovel/ScrappedPrincess'', anyone who gazes into the eyes of a Peacemaker immediately falls under their control (called Providence). Their influence is so strong that entire cities can be made to submit to their will. One of the reasons they're after Pacifica is she's immune to Providence ''and'' can pass this onto others (she twice invokes involuntary magical outbursts--anyone caught within gains her immunity).

* The fakir in the ''ComicBook/{{Tintin}}'' story "Cigars of the Pharoah"; even Tintin is unable to resist the power of his eyes and weird gestures. More so in the AnimatedAdaptation where his eyes are enough to hypnotize someone, and his pupils light up.

** [[MagnificentBastard Lelouch]] has something akin to this; his 'Geass' (a power closely connected to eyes and sight) allows him to issue 'absolute orders'. Lelouch geasses you to do something, you do it. Not fully this trope (there are enough differences to distance it), but certainly closely related. [[spoiler: Especially when it becomes ''permanently'' active]].

* Several character in ''Podcast/SibyllineSounds'' have this ability, most of them are snakes.

* ''TabletopGame/TheUnofficialHollowKnightRPG'': The Enthrall spell causes a target to fall into a trance, unable to move or act for as long as the caster maintains eye contact.

* ''Wiki/SCPFoundation'', [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1529 SCP-1529 ("King of the Mountain")]]. When SCP-1529 makes eye contact with a human being it exerts hypnotic control over the victim. This causes the victim to feel the effects of freezing to death (feeling warm and comfortable, sitting down and relaxing).

* Kurumu from ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'' seduces the main character with these (JustifiedTrope: she's a {{succubus}}), though she calls the ability "{{Charm|Person}}." She only really uses it in [[ItOnlyWorksOnce one episode]], though, after her [[spoiler: HeelFaceTurn]].

** Also features in the various one-shots in the spin-off ''Fanfic/TheTalesOfMilikan''.

* [[BigBad Kraigor]] in ''WesternAnimation/DennisTheMenaceInCruiseControl'', who sought to take over the island kingdom of Mimosa, has this ability to have others do his bidding. Dennis later [[HoistByHisOwnPetard turns his powers against him]], setting free everyone else he hypnotized, including Princess Liana's guards, and getting him sent to the dungeon for high treason.

* A constant on ''Series/TheVampireDiaries'' and its spin-offs ''Series/TheOriginals'' and ''Series/{{Legacies}}'' in how the vampires use "compulsion" on people. A regular bit in all the shows is a close-up of the vampire's eyes and then a close-up of the victim's as they accept whatever they're told (unless they've been taking vervain, which counteracts compulsion).

A regular bit in all the shows is a close-up of the vampire's eyes and then a close-up of the victim's as they accept whatever they're old (unless they're on vervain, which counteracts compulsion).

* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''. "Buffy vs. Dracula". The Count has hypnotic OccultBlueEyes that can enthrall even Buffy.

* In Disney's ''WesternAnimation/{{The Jungle Book|1967}}'', Kaa the python has these type of eyes, visually represented by colorful circles in his eyes, which he uses to compel his victims to sleep. See below under Literature for how this differs from [[Literature/TheJungleBook the book]].

* In Disney's ''WesternAnimation/RobinHood'', Sir Hiss, having a similar character design to [[WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook1967 Kaa]], attempts to hypnotize Prince John to calm him down, but it just makes him mad. Hiss is also stated to have hypnotized King Richard into going off on crusade so that John can take power back in England.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls'': [[spoiler: Sunset Shimmer]] gains a variant after stealing power from [[spoiler: The Element of Magic]].

* ''Radio/TheShadow'' was known for this in most of his incarnations.
