This is when somebody uses some sort of dangerous animal as a discreet murder weapon. There's the old trick of leaving a snake in their hotel room, for instance, or the one where you drop a spider near their bed, or perhaps the one where you hide a scorpion in their suitcase. Whatever the animal, it's being used as a subtle but deadly surprise for the intended victim. The reasons for doing this vary: maybe the villain hopes that the murder will be deemed an accident (since sometimes, the animal could have gotten there by itself), although other times, it seems that the villain just likes doing things the difficult way for no good reason. Sometimes it's supposed to be some sort of trademark such as a villain with a snake theme. Sometimes it can be an ordinary house pet trained to cause an "accident" like leaving on the gas (read: turning it on after the victim is asleep).
Often, the murder animal seems to know its role in the story. Rather than waste time hiding or just wandering around aimlessly, as a real animal might do, it gets straight to the point and attacks the hero by the quickest route, despite having no apparent reason to do so. No matter how big the bedroom is, the spider will almost always end up crawling onto the face of the sleeping hero — and not, say, scuttling into the wardrobe, which is arguably more likely but rather less helpful for the plot. Although this could be justified, as these critters are cold-blooded and may seek heat/warmth. Don't expect a lot of sympathy for the animal, either. The ones chosen as assassins are generally a species which people consider Always Chaotic Evil like snakes and arachnids. This can lead to unintentional comedy for more knowledgeable viewers, as many of these venomous creatures don't actually have strong enough venom to seriously harm a healthy adult human (tarantulas and scorpions in particular).
Not to be confused with a Shark Pool or other up-front use of animals as a means of execution. This is just about the animals which are delivered to the victim (rather than the victim being delivered to the animal) and which the victim isn't supposed to know about until it's too late. Compare Attack Animal for when someone directly commands an animal to attack, rather than leaving it as a trap. If it's just made to look like a death by animal attack, that's This Bear Was Framed. Compare Exit, Pursued by a Bear, which is more accidental.
Grammar Nazi Note: Several of the animals mentioned below are "venomous" — they inject some toxin in their victim. It is rarely relevant if they are "poisonous" — that is, toxic if you try to eat them or if toxin is absorbed through the skin.

In Shotgun (1955), Delgadito's renegades leave Bentley tied with wet rawhide out in the desert. As the rawhide dries, it shrinks and drags Bentley closer to a stake that has a rattlesnake tethered to it.

Nancy Drew:
In Secrets of Shadow Ranch, Nancy's hosts at the ranch aren't there when she arrives, as a rattlesnake somehow got into their bedroom and sent one of them to the hospital. Possibly a subversion, as it's never confirmed that the culprit actually put it there.
In Lights, Camera, Curses!, the Show Within a Show movie Pharaoh supposedly ends when the female lead (playing Nefertiti) tries to murder someone with a venomous snake. The ophidiophobic actress who plays Nefertiti isn't pleased when the director insists that she hold a live (harmless) snake in this scene.

Fun Jungle: Life at the world's most idyllic zoo can be a bit unnerving when villains repeatedly sabotage exhibits to release territorial and dangerous animals (sometimes specifically to try to kill Teddy or one of his friends (even if most of their threats can be quickly mitigated by knowing how to behave around the animal)) or cause the heroes to fall into their enclosures.

CSI: NY:
One episode actually subverts this twice. Someone is killed by Brazilian Wandering Spider venom, but even though there is a person connected to the case who keeps Brazilian Wandering Spiders, none of them actually bit the victim; she was killed with a syringe of the venom. Someone else is eaten by a tiger at the zoo but was already dead before he was thrown into the exhibit.
Double-subverted in another episode. Meaning only to scare his sister, a brother puts a venomous snake in the very expensive car that their father gives her for her 16th birthday. The father gets in the car before he gives it to her, is bitten, and dies. Before the snake is discovered, it also bites Lindsay, who has to be helicoptered to the hospital.

Octopath Traveler II: During the first chapter of Temenos' story, Temenos visits Pontiff Jorg at Flamechurch Cathedral, and finds the pontiff dead and a werewolf-like monster called Felvarg wandering the halls. At first it looks like a random wandering monster attack... but Temenos notices that the Cathedral's incense burners are emitting the scent of a type of incense that is known to attract varg monsters, and concludes someone deliberately lured the felvarg there with the intention it would attack the pontiff.

Harry Potter:
Werewolf Fenrir Greyback is a self-induced animal assassin. He cannot control himself in werewolf form, but he gets around this by deliberately placing himself near his intended victims' home shortly before full moon so that, upon his change, those victims will be the closest human targets he can attack.
For that matter, consider Salazar Slytherin, who left the basilisk at Hogwarts for centuries so it could eventually get activated by his Heir (it eventually chose Tom Riddle, a.k.a. Voldemort) and kill the Muggle-borns. And for that matter, Voldemort using Nagini. Both of these examples are unusual, however; as Parseltongues, Slytherin and Voldemort can both communicate with snakes and apparently have no problem getting them to do their bidding.

Discworld:
Wizards at the Unseen University have a history of advancing their careers by the principle of Dead Man's Pointy Boots, and therefore have a saying: "When a man is tired of checking for scorpions in his boots, he is tired of life."
Lords and Ladies:
An elf tries to invoke this trope on Hodgesaaargh, siccing one of the falconer's own fearsome birds of prey on him. Subverted in that the raptor attacks the elf instead, because that's exactly what it does to Hodgesaaargh when he handles it.
Magrat uses Greebo (Nanny's Ogg cat) against another elf as one would a claymore mine.
Snuff mentions a "filing clerk" by the name of Arachne who pleaded to be assigned to the embassy of Fourecks because she's particularly attracted to venomous spiders. Vetinari gives her the task of taking care of Gravid at the end of the book. Not all sins are forgiven.

Snuff mentions a "filing clerk" by the name of Arachne who pleaded to be assigned to the embassy of Fourecks because she's particularly attracted to venomous spiders. Vetinari gives her the task of taking care of Gravid at the end of the book. Not all sins are forgiven.

James Bond runs into some of these.
In Dr. No, someone drops a venomous spider (in the film) or centipede (in the book) into his room — he manages to beat it to death. Note that Scolpendra gigantea can be fatal to humans. The producers changed the creature from a centipede to a tarantula for the movie because they didn't think audiences would realize centipedes could be fatal. It's also a more logical choice (to the extent that this trope can ever be logical), as there is no centipede whose bite is reliably fatal to an adult human. While the same is true of tarantulas, there are some South American and Australian spiders of similar size and appearance that really are very dangerous to humans. Thus, a tarantula makes for an acceptable film stand-in. This was no comfort to the arachnophobic Sean Connery, who had to have a body double for the spider to crawl over.
In Live and Let Die, somebody tries much the same thing with a snake, which he fries with a quickly improvised Aerosol Flamethrower.
In Diamonds Are Forever, Wint and Kidd kill the dentist by dropping a scorpion down the back of his shirt.
In Moonraker, Hugo Drax attempts to kill Bond by a reticulated python.
In Never Say Never Again, Fatima Blush drives alongside Jack Petachi and throws a snake into his car, which makes him freak out and crash. Fatima then uses a remote-controlled bomb to blow up the car with him in it.

In Children of Dune, some sort of saber-toothed tiger things are trained to attack sets of clothing impregnated with a certain chemical. The clothes are given as a gift to Ghanima and Leto II, and the tigers are sent to kill them. The worst part: the tigers were conditioned to attack two children wearing those clothes and matching their description. How were they conditioned? With carefully selected pairs of children, of course — pair after pair after pair until they got it right.

Worthy of mention due to the utter madness: in Tangled Webs, one Jerkass tries to kill a young lady by dropping a venomous (deadly to a human, that is) spider on her bed.

Far Cry 3 employs this frequently. Many outposts that can be taken tend to have cages with deadly predators just waiting to be released, and sometimes the predator can simply come from the wild. Once set loose, that defenseless-looking tiger will rip through pirates like tissue paper, giving you the outpost without lifting a finger. However, the animal will still be there, and be more than happy to eat you next.

Red River (1995): One of the princesses staying in Kail's harem is killed by an assassin leaving venomous scorpions in her room (the story takes place in Asia Minor, which is home to one of the few scorpions with venom potent enough to kill a human). Earlier in the story, some of the princesses leave scorpions in Yuri's bed as a cruel prank, though these are identified as a non-lethal species; however, this happens right on the day when Kail is supposed to spend the night in Yuri's room, so the usually level-minded and sweet Yuri gets pissed.

Monk:
In "Mr. Monk Is on the Air", it turns out that the killer, a Howard Stern-esque radio DJ, has trained the neighbor's dog to turn on the gas in the bedroom where his wife, the victim, slept whenever the dog hears a certain phrase during his radio broadcast.
In "Mr. Monk and the Panic Room", a man is found shot to death in his panic room along with his pet chimp, who's holding the murder weapon. The ape is (of course) the prime suspect, but the animal-loving Sharona insists that he is innocent. She's right.

This trope is the entire premise behind Snakes on a Plane. Unable to assassinate a witness to a murder through more conventional means, mobster Eddie Kim arranges for a crate of venomous snakes to be placed on the plane that the witness is being transported on. The latch opens at the appropriate time, releasing the snakes on the passengers. In this case, the hostility of the snakes (who in real life tend to be shy and defensive) is justified by their being dosed with pheremones that make them agitated enough to attack anything in sight without provocation. It's also pointed out that the snakes don't specifically have to bite the witness — they can just as easily cause the plane to crash by killing the pilot or getting in the wiring.

In State of Fear, the main murder method of the bad guys is to get a team of ninjas to burst in and restrain the target, while someone presses a blue-ringed octopus against their armpit. The point is an untraceable means of murder: the bite mark is barely noticeable and the species fairly obscure.

Rosemary & Thyme: In the episode "Racquet Espanol", a man is deathly allergic to insect bites, so his epi-pen is stolen, and an aggressive spider is placed in a water bottle hidden under a pillow. The hope is that it will look like an accident. This man has invested in a resort; the murderer wants the resort shut down so it could be sold to a different developer.

Case Closed:
Done once with a dog that pushes the victim down the stairs. The man is quite smart about it, training the dog to respond only if the command phrase is spoken over the phone at the same time the downstairs clock chimes.
A more "hands-on" example occurs when a girl bitten by a snake in the ocean turns out to have been an attempt at murder by her fiancé's jealous stepsister, which involved physically holding the snake and forcing it to bite the victim. This is rather more realistic than most examples of this trope, because such an animal really can't be relied upon to kill someone on its own. Since they were both in the sea, it was basically impossible to find the "weapon" afterward, though a witness is able to spy what turned out to be tape holding the snake in place.

A Song of Ice and Fire:
The book features at least one of these. The animal in question is merely referred to as a "manticore".
There is also an anecdote told about the occupation of Dorne. After King Daeron conquers Dorne, he appoints a lord loyal to him to suppress dissidents and chase rebels. While guesting at the castle of a disgruntled Dornish lord, he is given a room with a rope beside the bed and told that if he pulls it his host will have a girl sent to his bed. When, feeling amorous, he pulls it, it rips open the canopy above his bed and dumps an unreasonable amount of angry and venomous scorpions on top of him.
The Faceless Men sometimes use drugs to drive animals into vicious rages to have them kill their owners. Jaquen H'gar is implied to have used this to knock off one of the people on Arya's hit list, who was savaged by a beloved dog.

The Venture Bros.:
The show humorously lampshades this trope. One mook releases a scorpion into Dr. Venture's room while he is sleeping just as a competing mook let a tarantula loose. Instead of killing their intended target, the two creatures just fight each other.
There's also an incident in which Dr. Venture checks his mail and opens a box containing a cobra, poised to strike. However, it turns out that the box was very old, and the cobra simply turns to dust.
The Monarch's solution to Dr. Venture's group therapy sessions taking away from their, er, time together: have Henchman #21 drop a venomous snake onto the therapist. Notably, it works.

In Dr. No, someone drops a venomous spider (in the film) or centipede (in the book) into his room — he manages to beat it to death. Note that Scolpendra gigantea can be fatal to humans. The producers changed the creature from a centipede to a tarantula for the movie because they didn't think audiences would realize centipedes could be fatal. It's also a more logical choice (to the extent that this trope can ever be logical), as there is no centipede whose bite is reliably fatal to an adult human. While the same is true of tarantulas, there are some South American and Australian spiders of similar size and appearance that really are very dangerous to humans. Thus, a tarantula makes for an acceptable film stand-in. This was no comfort to the arachnophobic Sean Connery, who had to have a body double for the spider to crawl over.

Referenced in "Angel Down, Sussex", when Catriona recalls how she and Edwin were nearly victims of this trope. In a Noodle Incident involving a villain (implied to be Fu Manchu himself), a black mamba was hidden in their picnic hamper. Luckily, they'd opened the hamper while they were out punting and successfully knocked the snake into the water.

In Tower of Death, the valet released a lion to maul Bobby to death. The lion only managed to kill the hooker sent to distract Bobby before being beaten off, and it's painfully obvious that said lion is a guy in a suit.

In Ring of Fear, O'Malley attempts to kill animal trainer Clyde Beatty by having Twitchy use acid to weaken the harness rope restraining a touchy tiger Beatty is training. When the tiger lunges for Beatty, the rope snaps and only Beatty's superior reflexes allow to escape the cage in time.

Warrior Cats: In ThunderClan's territory, adders can be found at Snakerocks; their bite is strong enough to kill a cat. This is used twice in murder attempts:
Tigerclaw orders his apprentice Ravenpaw to hunt there after Ravenpaw witnessed him committing murder, but Ravenpaw manages to not only survive the task but also to kill an adder as prey.
Mapleshade lured a cat she blamed for her kits' deaths there, which resulted in the cat getting bitten and dying.

In Once Upon a Time, Regina (in the fairy tale world) has a pair of Agrhaban vipers sent to her room to kill herself with (à la Cleopatra) until her lover, the Genie, suggests that there's another way. He uses the vipers to murder the king. It later turns out that she planned the whole thing.

In If Looks Could Kill, a Femme Fatale tries to murder the protagonist by dropping a scorpion on his lap while his eyes are closed in anticipation for a blowjob. Michael doesn't notice and suddenly jerks up to get a condom, flinging the scorpion into her nightgown, sending her into a writhing panic he mistakes for seductive dancing. The scorpion likely would have killed her had an assassin ordered by the jealous Dragon to kill them both not done the job with a rocket launcher first (Michael was saved because he was still in the bathroom searching for that condom).

Midsomer Murders:
In "Wild Harvest", the first Victim of the Week is tied up in a forest, doused with truffle oil, and left to be gored to death by a wild boar.
In "The Village That Rose from the Dead", one victim is killed by being constricted to death by pythons.
In "The Sting of Death", the first Victim of the Week is immobilised and then doused in a synthetic pheromone that beekeepers use as a swarm lure. This results in them being stung to death by a swarm of honeybees.

In the Lone Wolf book 12, The Masters of Darkness, while dressed as the enemy and hitching a ride on a giant land vehicle, the hero is attacked in his cabin by a Plaak,◊ a small jelly-like horror with venomous fangs. Ironically, this isn't because Lone Wolf's disguise has failed; the target of the assassination attempt is the creature he usurped the identity.

Sherlock Holmes:
In the story "The Adventure of the Speckled Band", the speckled band in question is a deadly snake the murderer sends down the bell cord to kill his adopted daughter so as not to have to pay her dowry. The snake is commanded with a whistle — a practice completely unknown in real life. When he tries to do the same thing to the dead girl's twin sister, who had gone to Holmes for help, Holmes attacks the snake, driving it back through the vent into the next room, and the murderer is bitten to death immediately after.
There's also The Hound of the Baskervilles, in which the villain breeds a ferocious attack dog to scare an old man with a heart condition to death, and later tries to use it against his victim's nephew. In this case the directness of the animal is justified in that it was trained with the victims' scents, the villain stole the nephew's boot, and it accidentally "killed" (tripped and broke his neck running away) another man who was wearing the nephew's clothes.
In the story "The Adventure of the Lion's Mane", courtesy of the Lion's Mane jellyfish (Cyanea capillata). Subverted as it's not a murder weapon — the jelly is nigh-invisible, and the victims swam into its tentacles by mistake.
Albeit not a Holmes tale, the Arthur Conan Doyle story The Brazilian Cat had the heir to a large fortune tricked into entering a cage containing the eponymous big cat (apparently a jaguar). He's locked inside and has to survive the night while the cat gets increasingly hungry.

The Thinking Machine: In "The Problem of the Grip of Death", a man is found strangled in a locked apartment. He was actually strangled by a boa constrictor, which entered through a rat hole in the wall. (Strictly speaking, this is a case of bizarre death by misadventure rather than murder, but it plays out like a murder.)

Quincy, M.E.: Quincy once finds a live coral snake inside a desk drawer. The police assume that it's this trope, and the work of someone put in prison by Quincy's testimony; Quincy himself points out that coral snakes' fangs are too short to easily envenomate a human being, and surmises that it was intended to scare him, not kill him.

In High Risk, the tabloid reporter Helen gets cornered in a bathroom stall after some mooks empties an entire sack of poisonous snakes in the loo. She managed to escape in time thanks to Li grabbing her from an Air-Vent Passageway, but suffers a poisonous bite in the process which Li must extract using a knife. Turns into a Chekhov's Gun later on as Li hurls said knife, whose blade still contains traces of the snake's venom, into the Big Bad — it ends up killing the villain two minutes away from the credits.

An old gangster has finally decided to retire from a massive international terrorist group, but you don't retire from massive international terrorist groups. Thus, one of the members gives him a "parting gift", which is actually a briefcase full of scorpions, which climb all over the man and sting him to death. Apparently, his heart gives out long before the poison kills him.
