ThePigPen will often have this kind of ability.

* The green wood hoopoe is a tropical bird native to Africa, which points its tail at animals it considers a threat and excretes a foul stench. One of the chemicals responsible for the smell is dimethyl sulphide - the same chemical which gives rotten eggs their distinctive smell. Young green wood hoopoes also squirt liquid faeces when attacked.

* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2'': Certain enemies have Arts capable of inflicting the Stench status, which repels Blades from their Drivers for the duration, and makes it harder to maintain their Affinity Bond as a result.

* ''VideoGame/MarioStrikersCharged'': Wario's Super Ability 'Gas Mask' causes players within range of the gas to have their controls flipped and run away from the stench, often into an electric fence or, in Thunder Island's case, straight off the edge. If Bowser's 'Fire Storm' is used near Wario's trail of toxic gas, it creates a huge explosion and sends nearby characters flying.

* Debuting in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl'', Wario's Wario Waft move is basically weaponised flatulence that can build up over time for greater damage.

** One of the spells wizards can access is the NIF incantation, which creates a toxic cloud of noxious gas that causes anyone exposed to it vomit uncontrollably, and in some instances (such as when used against enemies with large noses) will actually kill them outright. Unfortunately, this spell affects the caster as well and they have to use a pair of nose plugs before using it.

* The world of Titan (setting of most ''Literature/FightingFantasy'' books as well a ''Sorcery!'') feature the skunkbear monsters, essentially giant skunks, fearless and voracious. When a skunkbear feels threatened, it sprays a nauseating secretion from a gland underneath its tail, making the enemy gag from the stench and fighting with a reduced Skill score.

* ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogIDW'': Rough can produce a noxious musk as a form of attack [[CallingYourAttacks which he calls "Stink Bomber"]]. He uses this on Knuckles in the third issue.

** ''Manga/DragonBall'': During the World Martial Arts Tournament, Krillin fights a man known as Bacterian, who fights using his body odor. Krillin manages to win by remembering he doesn?t have a nose and finishes Bacterian off by [[BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame farting in his face]].
** ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'': During the Tournament of Power, Krillin fights Majora who tracks him by smelling his position. To bypass this, Krillin takes off one of his shoes and throws it into Majora's nose, paralyzing him long enough for Krillin to knock him out of the arena.

* The ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' episode "The Mega Diaper Babies" has Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, and Lil imagining themselves as the titular superheroes, who are trying to rescue the Mega-Hyper Heroes from the evil Angelitron (a robotic version of Angelica). Chuckie gets stuck playing "Stinky," who has the [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway extremely useless power]] of "smelling as strong as two babies." In the end, though, Stinky and his horrific stench are the only thing capable of defeating Angelitron.

* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'': "Karate Island" has Filthy Phil, who deals with his opponents by using his body stench to knock them out. Unfortunately for him, Sandy is protected from his smell thanks to her suit, and [[HoistByHisOwnPetard he ends up smelling his own stink]].
