History Main / WeakenedByTheLight

** In episode "ThroughTheLookingGlass", one dimension is bathed in red light with debilitating effects. Chiana is somehow unaffected, but is debilitated by the noise in the blue dimension instead.

* In the ''Series/{{Farscape}}'' episode "[[Recap/FarscapeS02E04CrackersDontMatter Crackers Don't Matter]]", Moya's crew is warned that "lower species" sometimes experience impaired judgment from the light of the pulsars they are traveling through. The trope is subverted when Crichton realizes that T'raltixx is causing their symptoms, not the pulsars. T'raltixx himself is an inversion, drawing his power from light and planning to use Moya to provide the light his people need to become a large-scale threat.

** ''Manga/PhantomBlood'': Despite being extremely powerful and lacking other vampire weaknesses, these vampires are some of the most sunlight-vulnerable vampires in all of fiction. No sizzling, no writhing in pain, not even any catching fire, they just ''explode'' the second sunlight ([[ThePowerOfTheSun and Hamon, which emulates sunlight]]) touches them. The inference seems to be that vampirism fills one to the brim with vital energy, [[SuperPowerMeltdown to the point that excess energy is like inflating an overinflated balloon]].
** ''Manga/BattleTendency'': The Pillar Men, progenitors of the vampires also suffered this, but only to the degree of being petrified while bathed in sunlight (or UV lamps), and reverting afterwards. Hamon can kill them but it requires that you transfer the Ripple energy into them, be it with rope or oiled up weapons, which is much easier said than done. When [[spoiler:Kars]] uses the Stone Mask to turn into the Ultimate Being, he becomes not only invincible to the sun but also able to use the Ripple with absurd power.
** ''Manga/GoldenWind'': Polpo's Black Sabbath is also like this, on account of actually ''being'' a shadow. Lots of light ceases inability for shadows to exist, so taking full sunlight causes it to disvaporate.
* ''LightNovel/IsThisAZombie'': Ayumu, being a zombie, can't go out in the sunlight or his body will desiccate. This weakness is negated while he's [[DraggedIntoDrag wearing]] Haruna's MagicalGirl outfit.

* ''LightNovel/VampireHunterD'':
** Sunlight isn't immediately fatal to vampires. Rather, exposure to more than a few seconds of direct sunlight causes them to catch fire, burning painfully so long as they are exposed. HeroicWillpower is invoked if a vampire stays in sunlight to do something important, as is a vampiric HealingFactor if they make it back to shade. However, only the High Nobility are capable of even trying this. Most vampires are entirely comatose during the day, even if they remain underground.
** In the 1985 film Count Magnus Lee sends Rei Ginsei a candle. Its light paralyzes any being with vampire blood in its veins. Greco Roman steals it and uses it against the Count's daughter Lamika. Rei Ginsei gets it back and uses it against D (successfully) and Count Magnus Lee (not so successfully).

* In the ''MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fanfic ''Fanfic/TheLongEventide,'' this is shown to be a weakness of the ponies who are part of the Umbral Society. One is shown fleeing a sunrise in the first chapter, and another screams in pain when willingly stepping out the protection of the [[AlwaysNight Shroud]] that surrounds the titular city-state of Eventide.

* In the ''Series/{{Farscape}}'' episode "Crackers Don't Matter", Moya's crew is warned that "lower species" sometimes experience impaired judgment from the light of the pulsars they are traveling through. The trope is subverted when Crichton realizes that T'raltixx is causing their symptoms, not the pulsars. T'raltixx himself is an inversion, drawing his power from light and planning to use Moya to provide the light his people need to become a large-scale threat.

* ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' episode "Operation: Annihilate!" The parasites that infected the colonists on the planet Deneva are destroyed by bright light.

[[folder:Western Animation]]
* Two of the ghosts from the Chest of Demons in ''WesternAnimation/The13GhostsOfScoobyDoo'' were vulnerable to sunlight:
** Queen Morbidia from "Me and My Shadow Demon" was defeated when exposure to sunlight turned her into ash, afterwards her ashes were swept up and put into the Chest of Demons.
** Rankor from "Coast-to-Ghost" was a vampire ghost, so naturally he had a weakness to sunlight. When he's about to be destroyed by sunlight, though, he [[KnowWhenToFoldEm willingly goes back into the Chest of Demons]] when Scrappy and Flim-Flam offer it as a way to escape the sunlight.
* ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers'': Starstones, a rare gem that is often used as an AmplifierArtifact is ''extremely'' fragile, and decays rapidly when exposed to UV light.
* Being a vampire, Marceline from ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' can't be in sunlight without an umbrella or some kind of shade, or she'll burn and die.
* ''WesternAnimation/AlfredJKwak'': Alfred manages to defeat the Evil Spirit of Darkness when he realizes that shining a bright light in the genie's face hurts it to the point that it would prefer going back inside the bottle. Alfred even removes his lamp for a few seconds just to annoy it, prompting a partial re-emergence by the genie, before forcing it into the bottle completely.
* In ''WesternAnimation/ArchiesWeirdMysteries'', a vampire explains to the titular character that while the Vampire Master can't ever handle sunlight, lesser minions like herself can if they stay in human form and "wear some serious sunblock".
* ''Franchise/Ben10'':
** [[WesternAnimation/Ben10 Original Series]]: Introduces Zs'Skayr, a subconscious alien that broke free from the Omnitrix with plans to take over. When Ben used his DNA as Ghostfreak, he had a sun-proof cloak that hid his true appearance, restricted his power, and protected him from sunlight (which could burn him to death). But when he went rogue, he got rid of the sun-cloak and went out his way to make the world filled with darkness.
** ''WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse'': Introduces Whampire who is, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin well... a vampire]] (actually an alien called a Vladat). Although he's only incredibly weakened and in pain when faced with light instead of being killed by it. This weakness also applies to Vladat's genetic source in the alien form's debut episode, Lord Transyl.
* ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'':
** Anyone whom [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Count]] [[ComedicSpanking Spankulot]] transforms into Spank-Happy Vampires are weakened by sunlight. As demonstrated in "[[Recap/CodenameKidsNextDoorS3E8BOperationLOCKDOWN Operation: L.O.C.K.D.O.W.N.]]", when Numbuh 5 [[IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight faces off against]] [[FightingYourFriend her vampirified teammates]] when she is caught using the Quadruple Emergency Bypass Code to lift the lockdown, only the count's victims, as well as the victims of those whom the Count transformed, are weakened by sunlight. It is when the Treehouse lockdown is over, the sun comes up and weakens the vampirified operatives. However, the Count himself is immune to sunlight.
** In "[[Recap/CodenameKidsNextDoorS5E12AOperationLICORICE Operation: L.I.C.O.R.I.C.E.]]", we're introduced to [[GhostPirate Black John]] [[DemBones Licorice]], a [[EvilVsEvil rival]] [[SweetTooth candy pirate]] of [[CaptainColorbeard Stickybeard's]] who is described to be more vicious, he'd "do anything for candy, even steal it from his mom". After [[SkeletonCrew Black John and his crew]] chopped down and stole several cursed licorice trees, a curse was placed on them that turned them into [[AnthropomorphicFood black licorice skeletons]] that come to life at dusk, then are reduced to piles of licorice bones at sunrise until nightfall comes and they come alive again. [[VillainSong The song]] [[PirateSong Stickybeard and his crew]] [[TheVillainSucksSong sing about him]] is very [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ejH9RBmV9s self-explanatory]]. The only way Black John and his crew can break the curse is to replant the very forest they cut down with a magic seed, which Heinrich Von Marzipan eats during his time at the Kids Next Door Arctic Prison, and when they kidnap him in order to recover the seed, [[EnemyMine Numbuh Five has to join forces with Stickybeard to find him]].
* WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}} [[TakenForGranite turn to stone]] at sunrise, which leaves them defenseless against enemies. Thus, a common way to kill them is to pulverize them while in stone sleep.
* Zartan from ''WesternAnimation/GIJoeARealAmericanHero''. The experiments done on him give him amazing powers, but a severe weakness to sunlight. Exactly how it works and what qualifies as enough sunlight seems to vary from episode to episode. Eventually, the writers got rid of it. In any case it was basically just a way to [[MerchandiseDriven promote his toy, which changed color in sunlight]].
* The ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse'' episode "Night of the Shadowbeasts'', the eponymous beasts not only hate sunlight, but moonlight as well. To use them, Skeletor causes a volcano to erupt, filling the sky with smoke and ash.
* D'Compose and his undead underlings from ''WesternAnimation/{{Inhumanoids}}'' were vulnerable to sunlight, which had the added bonus of turning humans who had been zombified by D'Compose back to normal.
* The [[AlienInvasion Imperium]] in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' had no resistance to sunlight.
** The same can be said about the snake-like LizardFolk spirits [[SealedEvilInACan trapped in the Black Diamond]], in the episode "Eclipsed".
* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'': King claims that demons with large black eyes tend to be sensitive to bright light -- this is useful for stunning or K.O.ing [[spoiler:Eda's Owl Beast form when she transforms]].
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' episode "Boogie Frights" had the Boogie Man and his minions being allergic to the sun so they block it with a giant disco bulb, eventually once the girls destroy it the sunlight disintegrates them.
* In ''WesternAnimation/Primal2019'',the nocturnal [[MonsterOfTheWeek Night Feeder]] has an extreme sensitivity to light or fire as a brief spark makes it pull back and a small fire is enough to send it into a full-blown retreat. Spear and Fang use this to their advantage by making strategic sparks to force it into a circle of trees that they ignite and form a ring of fire to prevent it from escaping giving Spear to toss a lit spear in its body, setting it ablaze.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretSaturdays'': In "The Owlman Feeds at Midnight", the titular MonsterOfTheWeek really doesn't like fire or bright light. The Saturdays use this to try and subdue it, but Doyle ends up giving it ''too much'' light when he resorts to bringing a jetpack into the mix and ends up ''vaporizing'' it.
* The Nightbreed from ''WesternAnimation/StaticShock''. Continuous exposure to light seems to leave them very weakened and feeling sick.
** [[FightingAShadow Ebon]] also counts, although he can come out in daylight and be just fine. Only a focused beam of light seems to weaken him.
* ''WesternAnimation/StormHawks'': In their debut episode, the [[Characters/StormHawks Nightcrawlers]] have a bad case of this -- they're deadly when stalking around darkened locations or when it's night, but they're pained and quickly driven off by a blast of light from Solaris Crystals. They're upgraded to overcome this weakness in later appearances.
* The Kanabo in ''[[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fast Forward]]'' are weak against sunlight. Light is also Sh'Okanabo's weakness, as revealed in the penultimate episode "The Day of Awakening". Hence, why Sh'Okanabo wanted to block out the sun so it wouldn't interrupt his plans to cover the world with Kanabo drones again.
-->'''Viral''': Analysis indicates that the unique wavelength of this planet's solar radiation's focus through its unusually oxygenated atmosphere has a dire effect on the emerging symbiosis. In other words...\\
'''Sh'Okanabo''': All of my efforts have been in vain! The Kanabo cannot survive on Earth. (Angrily roars as he throws a temper tantrum and tosses everything around in his ship) This place could sustain us for centuries if not for its accursed sun... But perhaps... That obstacle can be eliminated. (laughs evilly)
* [[BigBad Mumm-ra]] from ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats2011'' has this as his WeaksauceWeakness, though interestingly enough [[WesternAnimation/ThunderCats his earlier counterpart]] didn't. (He was instead vulnerable to his own reflection.)
* Trolls from ''WesternAnimation/{{Trollhunters}}'' are a magical, stone-based species that originates from deep within the Earth. Should a troll's skin touch sunlight (with the exception of [[spoiler:Changelings and Stalklings]]), they become inert stone.
* In ''WesternAnimation/Xyber9NewDawn'', The Machina can't handle sunlight due to [[spoiler:the virus they're all infected with.]]

* ''Series/InterviewWithTheVampire2022'': Vampires can only stand in direct sunlight for a few seconds before their flesh starts to char and crumble. Louis de Pointe du Lac gets around this in Dubai by having specially shielded windows for his penthouse, and in 1910s New Orleans, he and Lestat de Lioncourt have the excuse of being expected to do their business at night rather than during the day.
