Any creature which has been trained specifically to fight alongside its handler, like an attack dog or equivalent. Generally speaking, in order to qualify as an attack animal the creature must: Not act (or at least it must not be supposed to act) without explicit instructions from its handler beyond a normal routine. This usually entails something with animal level intelligence which can be trained to obey. They must be acting at the command of their handler (it's not enough for someone to throw their victim into a cage full of lions, they have to be able to make the lions attack them). The "creature" does not technically need to be an animal (semi-intelligent drones or golems, artificial biological constructs or magical, elemental beings are all fair game). Not be sent out to act on their own (like when summoning a bigger fish), since they're essentially a weapon, not a character (a good analogy would be that you send out soldiers armed with swords, not swords on their own). This trope is likely derived from domestic animals which were used for their attack abilities (dogs being the most obvious). See the Real Life section for more details. Using a "weapon" like this often implies that a character is either nature-loving and generally an all around good person who animals trust, or a genius (possibly mad) who can create or control such things or evil, by virtue of "enslaving" them. A sub-trope of Living Weapon, Beast of Battle and The Brute. Sister trope to Animal Assassin and Bioweapon Beast. The weapon of choice for The Beastmaster and the Nature Hero (although they might as easily avert this trope by making them actual characters). When everyone uses these and only has them attack one another then you're almost certainly in a Mons series. Contrast the Loyal Animal Companion and Robot Buddy, who are usually characters in their own right rather than just weapons, though they can overlap if the animal in question (biological or robotic) is also supposed to serve as a non-human warrior (especially if they're a military animal, or their master is an action-oriented superhero/supervillain) in addition to being a pet/loyal companion/friend. If they're picked up and have their body used as a literal weapon, see Equippable Ally. Related to Weaponized Offspring. |

The Heralds of Valdemar series has the Shin'a'in battlesteeds. Unlike your average warhorse, these have been bred over centuries to be the ultimate fighting mount (possibly with some magic help at the beginning). Smart, obedient, and capable of distinguishing and killing enemies without any direction, they make a deadlier team with a human than another human would. They're also good at tasks such as guarding camps and equipment, finding water in the forest, and carrying injured riders to get help. What they aren't good at is being pretty; looks had no priority in the breeding program and the steeds resemble roughly-carved horse-shaped granite. | |

Dragon Age has Mabari War Dogs; Highly trained and highly loyal attack dogs in use by the nobles and army of Ferelden. They are also possessed of at least some measure of intelligence; when Ferelden was formed by rebelling against The Empire the Mabari defected to the Ferelden side en mass, and they are often remarked to be "smart enough not to talk" (a few characters seem to understand Mabari as well). | |

Naruto: The Tailed Beasts are a sort of cross between this and a Superpowered Evil Side. The Great Nations attempted to control them by placing them in hosts, and used them as walking nuclear deterrents. Straighter examples, however, exist in the Inuzuka Clan's ninja hounds who are an integral component in the families fighting style, and in Kakashi's dogs who sometimes fight with him. |

In Jurassic World, Hoskins wants to use Owen's Velociraptors as this in combat situations. He believes that since Owen has taught the raptors basic commands, they'll be able to function on the battlefield as assault troops who can't be hacked by the enemy. Owen points out the insanity behind this since he's the only person they won't kill on sight, none of their relationship is based on control, and unlike machines, raptors will eat you if they're hungry. The Indominus rex was also designed as a prototype of one of these, but one intended to be smaller and more viable in warfare. | |

New Vegas also has the Fiend leader Violet and her dogs of whom she's very protective of (and with the second level of the Animal Friend perk can lead to her death).

The first special unit for the Harmony affinity in Civilization: Beyond Earth is the Xeno Swarm: an assortment of indigenous alien creatures which have been bred in captivity and raised by humans. Keeping with Harmony's theme of genetic engineering and cloning, the creatures are specially engineered to be stronger, faster and more resilient than their natural-born counterparts, and have a two week time period between seed matrix and trained adult xenoform. They're led by a pair of human handlers - biologists and medical staff who have been implanted by pheromone glands which give them greater control over their creatures. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: Gnomes are known to tame rust monsters — magical animals that feed by turning metal into rust that they then eat — as guard beasts, which serve as a great first line of defense that disarms intruders for other guards to mop up. Forgotten Realms: Wyverns were created as weapons by Aearee (ancient bird-like creatures). The setting's Precursors are called "Creator Races" for a reason. Wizards constantly try to customize some or other Hybrid Monster or The Undead for this purpose, though it rarely ends well. Akhlaur has a "cat-man warrior" project, for example. Early editions allow Player Characters to buy war dogs to fight alongside the party. Since they're almost as effective in combat as a 1st-level character, they can greatly increase a party's chance of survival at low levels. Druids and rangers have the "animal companion" feature, granting a creature who loyally serves the character during adventures. It's more an extension of the character as opposed to its own entity, automatically scaling in strength as its master gains experience. Sourcebooks also allow characters to construct various types of golems. |

In Fallout 3, one of the Scavengers has an attack Yao Guai, and the Enclave tried to use Deathclaws in this manner. The Deathclaws had to use remote controls implants and as a safety feature they were designed to detonate after a certain range. The Lone Wanderer can hack the terminal near them to reconfigure the targeting parameters. | |

The Borderlands series: The first game, Borderlands: Mordacai's action skill has him sick his pet Bloodwing (a hawklike bird/reptile) on enemies. Roland's Scorpio Turret also counts as the mechanical version. Borderlands 2: Axton can drop down Scorpio Turrets. Several enemies in both games can also drop turrets. Gaige the Mechromancer has her "D374-TP", DT. Using melee attacks, but staying out and attacking for a limited time rather than just striking an enemy once. |

[PROTOTYPE]: The scientists of Blackwatch tried to use The Virus as this, and had it turn on them twice. The slavering zombies and various hideous flesh-beasts created when the virus finds human carriers do serve quite well as weapons, whether you prefer quantity or style, but exactly four, all non-human beings in the world are capable of controlling its spread and the creatures created, and there's nothing on Earth that's going to control them. | |

Fallout: Usually a stray dog, Dogmeat becomes a loyal (if not smart) Canine Companion who stops being helpful around mid-game as his only attacks are biting and his points are poor. The Dogmeat of Fallout 2 had allegedly died after he ran into a force field and disintegrated. In Fallout 3, one of the Scavengers has an attack Yao Guai, and the Enclave tried to use Deathclaws in this manner. The Deathclaws had to use remote controls implants and as a safety feature they were designed to detonate after a certain range. The Lone Wanderer can hack the terminal near them to reconfigure the targeting parameters. Fallout: New Vegas has Rex, the second oldest companion in game, and only German Shepard alive past the Great War (if you choose to ignore the looks of the dogs in Fallout 4). His companion quest revolves around him and the Courier finding him a replacement brain. New Vegas also has the Fiend leader Violet and her dogs of whom she's very protective of (and with the second level of the Animal Friend perk can lead to her death). The Fiend's head honcho Motor-Runner has two dogs called Bone Gnash and Gnash Bone that sit before his throne. Raiders tend to use mangy, sickly, and vicious dogs as protection and means to flush out targets. Fallout 4 has Mutant Hounds, dogs subjected to being dipped in vats of the Forced Evolutionary Virus to become hulking green monsters just like their Super Mutant masters, who treat them as guard and hunting dogs. In Far Harbor Nate/Nora can purchase three of them to guard settlements. |

The Zuul in Sword of the Stars were originally created as weapons by the Suul'ka against a Morrigi colony. They were especially designed to be ravenous and fast-multiplying in order to quickly kill and consume all living things on the planet and die off. Unfortunately, the Zuul prove themselves masters at Mind Rape, allowing them to quickly learn the secrets of the target population, build spaceships, and escape into the universe. They are also extremely devious (at least, the males are; the females are mindless brutes; all by design). Fortunately for the Suul'ka, most of their pets have become even more loyal to them, since they now view the Suul'ka as gods. | |

Mass Effect brings us the varren, which are not only vicious, deadly creatures without outside influence, but which are also trained and used as attack animals by groups such as the krogan, as well as batarian mercenaries. They resemble fish-like dogs with their large and round eyes, scaly skin, and huge fangs on a quadrupedal body, which is why they're called "fishdogs". | |

So far, The Dude has only helped Eaglebones without clear instruction twice (once in "EagleClaw!" to take away his brother EagleClaw's guitar and once in "Showtime!" to take SuperMagic PowerMan's headband after Jimmy the Robot removes it from Space Monster M's head) but in her other appearances she follows this trope. | |

The Lord of the Rings: J. R. R. Tolkien liked this trope. The forces of Sauron and his allies often make use of armored and trained animals and monsters such as trolls, mûmakil, wargs, fell beasts, and the like. Apparently Morgoth originally bred Smaug's ancestors for use as living weapons as well. On the heroes side, they are aided by the Great Eagles. Massive birds that have time and again turn the tide of battle on the heroes favor when the odds are against them. |

The Wheel of Time: Trollocs, Myrddraal, Darkhounds, Gholam, Draghkar, and Jumara (collectively called Shadowspawn) all created by Aginor to be living weapons of the side of the Dark One. Most warrior cultures, especially Borderlanders, also train war horses, which are described as being just as deadly as their riders. The Seanchan have this as their hat, training War Elephants, lizard-cat hybrids, and a couple different breeds of Giant Flyer similar to pterodactyls or drakes or wyverns. They also enslave female magic-users and keep them on magical leashes that keep them from acting without explicit orders, considering them no different from any other Attack Animal, although from an outside perspective they'd be more like Battle Thralls. |

Valérian features a number of creatures classified as "living weapons", most notably the iconic Scnarfeur, essentially an entire species of Bratty Half-Pints with explosively caustic spit and instinctive hostility towards all living things due to originating on a Death World. They can be tamed by binding their head gland down, which turns them docile and allows them to develop a human-like personality, but they remain classified as animals and releasing the head gland will again revert them to their original state. | |

They are known to serve in Mehrunes Dagon's (the Daedric Prince of Destruction) Legions of Hell in this capacity. In Morrowind, the bandits in the caves of Adanumuran and Punsabanit have tamed Nix-Hounds (native predators with insectoid heads on dog-like bodies) to use in this capacity. |

A Song of Ice and Fire: Skinchangers are known for this. After bonding with an animal they become able to inhabit it directly, but they can also command it to an extent. The Stark children, including Jon Snow, are all bonded to their direwolves, though Sansa's was killed before her abilities developed. The most common skinchangers are wargs, who bond with (dire)wolves, but we've also heard of shadowcats, eagles, bears, ravens, cats, goats, and boars. The Targaryens used dragons for this, and Daenerys is trying to, though she may not have enough control over the dragons for them to qualify as yet. |

In One Piece, Doctor Vegapunk has apparently done extensive research into the nature and abilities of Devil Fruits, even making inanimate objects able to eat them. There have been a gun and a sword who have respectively eaten the Inu-Inu (Dog-Dog) Fruit: Model Dachshund and Zou-Zou (Elephant-Elephant) Devil Fruits respectively, resulting in a dog that sneezed explosive baseballs and an elephant that could transform into a sword. Of course, this being One Piece, it basically turns out just how you would expect. Shirahoshi, the princess of Fishman Island, is the current incarnation of the Ancient Weapon Poseidon, which allows her to control Sea Kings. Earlier and more straight examples included Mohji the Beast Tamer (who leaves all the fighting part to his giant lion pet) and Ohm the "Sky Breeder", who combines his deadly morphing sword with his extremely well trained giant dog Holy (so well trained, in fact, that he can even stand up and do kickboxing). |

Warhammer 40,000: The lesser Tyranid bioforms act as attack animals for the larger, more intelligent synapse creatures. These handlers are both more individually intelligent and capable of interfacing with the Hive Mind at greater distances, giving psychic "commands" to the lesser creatures as long as they remain nearby. Squigs are small, aggressive critters that Orks frequently keep as pets and train to attack people on command. The largest of all squigs is the massive Sqiggoth, which grows to be as big as a Baneblade tank. The Kroot of the Tau Empire have a few evolutionary sub-species that are more animalistic. The dog like Kroot hounds, and the gorilla formed Krootox, that the Kroot train to act as attack animals during battle. The XII Astartes Legion were originally known as the War Houndsnote subsequently renamed the World Eaters earned their name because their ferocity in battle reminded the Emperor of the white war hounds employed by a warrior tribe in northern Terra. The modern Iron Snakes chapter is notable for routinely making use of trained attack dogs, something few other chapters do, in order to track down their elusive Dark Eldar foes. |

Jurassic Park: In Jurassic World, Hoskins wants to use Owen's Velociraptors as this in combat situations. He believes that since Owen has taught the raptors basic commands, they'll be able to function on the battlefield as assault troops who can't be hacked by the enemy. Owen points out the insanity behind this since he's the only person they won't kill on sight, none of their relationship is based on control, and unlike machines, raptors will eat you if they're hungry. The Indominus rex was also designed as a prototype of one of these, but one intended to be smaller and more viable in warfare. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom introduces said smaller Indominus; the Indoraptor, a modified raptor designed specifically for this role. He promptly demonstrates exactly why this was a BAD IDEA, as upon getting loose he promptly attacks anyone and everyone he encounters, though unlike his "mother", he can be controlled to some extent with a laser targeting system, though said control is less getting him to obey you and more choosing which direction to point him. He's also noted to be a Flawed Prototype in the film itself; his creators intend to breed another to be raised by Blue, Owen's last surviving Velociraptor, to allow it to develop genuine social interactions to avoid creating another dinosaur Sadist. Jurassic World Dominion continues the trend with a pack of Atrociraptors...except this time, they work exactly as intended. Their handler, Santos, implies that this is because, just like Owen, she reared them personally so that they could learn to work with humans, with the training being handled later. |

In The Great Ace Attorney, the Professor is a Serial Killer who uses a hunting dog. The cases involving the Professor are of such great importance to the narrative and to the characters' lives that when Herlock Sholmes' surrogate daughter Iris wrote "The Hound of the Baskervilles" manuscript based on Sholmes' work on the case, Sholmes explicitly forbade her from publishing it. |

BlazBlue: The Kaka clan (and by extension Taokaka, one of the playable characters). They were created from ubei's DNA to combat the Black Beast almost 100 years earlier, can only reproduce (asexually) if there are less than 100 of them and can process Seifer naturally and use it to manifest glowing energy claws. Rachel Alucard has a frog called George XIII hop towards her opponent and electrocute them as a ranged attack. When Hazama created Mu-12 by brainwashing and forcefully transforming (or upgrading her without the "safeties" on if you look at it that way) Noel Vermillion, he more or less wanted her for this. Even referring to her as his "sword". Lambda-11 is treated this way by Kokenoe (although she feels bad about turning her into an Empty Shell for this purpose). Tager might also count, but he's sufficiently loyal the issue of whether Kokenoe can force him to obey hasn't come up. |

The eponymous creatures from Metroid are more or less weaponized space-jellyfish. The problem is that no one seems to be able to control them too well. The only being capable of it was Mother Brain, and even then it wasn't complete. Indeed, a Metroid ends up being one of the primary factors in her death. This didn't stop the Space Pirates from trying, of course. | |
