A tube used to shoot darts at targets by blowing into it, often used by hunter-gatherer tribes. Expect poison and tranquillizer darts. Its near-silence makes it an ideal exotic weapon for a hunter or sneaky assassin who doesn't want to give away their position, while the pipe's simplicity makes it easy to conceal or disguise as something else. It can even be used as a snorkel so the assassin can hide underwater. Two potential gags are for the user to accidentally inhale the dart or for the target to grab the end of the gun and blow the dart back. |

Dark Souls has the Blowdart Snipers in Blighttown, who are one of the major reasons the level is so hated. They wear camouflage that makes them hard to see against the dark background, their blowguns are very quiet and the darts are easily missed, especially in a chaotic fight. While the darts don't do any damage, they inflict the Toxic status effect, which is super-poison that can't be cured by the normal means and drains your health about ten times more quickly. Unless you have the rare cure for toxin, getting Toxic inflicted is essentially a death sentence. The only mercy is that they do not respawn like most enemies after they're killed. | |

In Midworld and its sequel, human hunters on the green world use rifle-like blow guns called "snufflers", modeled on distant memories of their colonial ancestors' firearms. They're powered by tank seeds, which contain air bladders that burst when punctured, propelling their toxic-thorn projectiles with great force. On a different planet in the same setting, the natives use a weapon that looks like a blowgun but actually isn't. Because of the way their lungs work, they can't produce a powerful gust of air when they exhale, so they outfit the "blow gun" with stretchy vines that allow it to act as a blow gun-slingshot hybrid. |

In the second chapter of Eternal Darkness, you receive these. It poisons enemies but does very little damage either way and has limited ammo. If you use it to Cherry Tap some zombies to death in order to save a particular NPC, however, you can get your sword (which just broke) repaired and then upgrade it to Dual Wielding with what would have otherwise been the replacement. | |

He uses it to kill nearby cremlings, which turns out to be Properly Paranoid given there's not one but two factions spying through them or disguised as them.

The Kakamora in Moana use blowguns with tranquilizer darts as part of their attack. However, the tubes are very short, which might explain why they don't hit anyone. Except their own chief. | |

Game of Thrones: The Faceless Man known as "Jaqen H'ghar" used a poison dart fired from a blowgun to kill Amory Lorch at Harrenhal (on the request of Arya Stark). The Crannogmen (a unique sub-group of Northerners, residing in forested swampy terrain), are known to use poisoned blow darts in their traditional guerrilla tactics. In the words of Meera Reed, “A well-placed dart can be as deadly as any blade�. |

Taking advantage of the fact that everything in the arena that year (with the exception of rain water and food obtained at the Cornucopia or via sponsors) was poisonous, she quickly turned the blow gun into a lethal weapon. | |

In earlier versions, blowguns were an option in Dungeon Crawl. They didn't do much damage, but were excellent for inflicting status conditions (most commonly poison, but some other Status Effects were also available) from a distance without relying on magic. Curare needles were particularly effective, as they also inflicted damage through asphyxiation. Version 0.24 removed blowguns and changed needles to hand-thrown darts to cut down on inventory bloat. | |

In one Forgotten Realms novel, the pirate hunter Captain Deudermont is darted by a thug who wanted to claim the black-market bounty on him. Apparently, his darts are made from cat claws (don't ask how those could be used as darts) and no other ammunition is compatible with his blowgun. | |

You can find blowpipes in some chests near the surface of Terraria. While getting ammunition for a blowpipe is a cinch (it uses seeds that you collect by cutting grass), the weapon is far outclassed by most other ranged weapons, at least one of which you should have at that point. Later on, though, you can buy a proper blowgun from the Witch Doctor and craft proper poison darts from stingers dropped by jungle hornets, making for a much more useful weapon. | |
