Dog Pile of Doom | comment |
A large number of Mooks jump on the hero, pinning him down. Usually it's a climactic battle scene. The hero is facing down dozens, no, hundreds, no, THOUSANDS of mooks. At first, the hero's doing well. He's smiting them one after another. But, then he begins to get tired, and first one, then another, then another and another and another leap onto him, dragging the poor guy to the ground. Often, a bigger villain, such as the Big Bad or The Dragon, stands by and watches. There are several ways that this scene can turn out: The hero activates a super mode, has an epiphany, or otherwise becomes more badass. He explodes out of the pile, minions scattering to the four winds, and rises as an epic figure. At this point the fight might continue, or the mooks might run away. The hero is killed at the bottom of the pile. (This one is pretty rare outside of zombie movies, actually.) The hero is captured. This can mean assimilation, frozen in stasis, knocked unconscious, or simply dragged off to a prison cell. A more humorous version, the hero simply gets out of the dogpile. This may involve Offscreen Teleportation, with the hero suddenly appearing to the side somewhere (or even on top of the pile), before the mooks even realize that he's gone and they've just been mobbing each other. In order to qualify as a Dog Pile of Doom, the hero should be completely covered in mooks. Just a couple of guys jumping on top of the hero is not enough to qualify. Have you ever dropped a piece of food on an anthill? It's something like that. Differs from the glomp, because the glomp is a sign of affection (even though the victim might not like it). The Dog Pile of Doom is malicious, intended to kill or capture. Often an Obligatory Joke whenever American football appears in fiction. Technically, it doesn't have to be the hero at the bottom of the pile. A whole bunch of good guy civilian mooks jumping on the Big Bad would also count as a Dog Pile of Doom. Sister Trope to Pinned to the Ground where only one person pins another to the ground physically. In video games, this can overlap with Zerg Rush or Bullet Hell. See also Macross Missile Massacre when done with projectiles. |

In Sengoku Basara 4, some groups of enemy soldiers will attempt to do this. Since the character you're controlling is always a One-Man Army, this leads to breaking out a moment of button mashing later (assuming you don't just swat them away before they can even land on you). | |

We get a big one in The Mighty Thor, in which Thor and Captain America are under assault. Thor is separated from Mjölnir, and as Cap tries to get to it, he's dogpiled by a bunch of Grog's mooks. Unfortunately for said mooks, the Captain just happens to be worthy, resulting in them knocked away, followed shortly by a Curbstomp Battle. | |

Redwall: The eponymous character of Martin the Warrior is mobbed by mooks when he attempts to help Feldoh's elderly father, who is being badly treated by the vermin overseers (as they are all three slaves at this point). Martin is literally described as having "disappeared" amid the mass, and the result is him being dragged off to worse imprisonment than before. | |

In Hard to Be a God, Earth observer (and proto-Progressor) Rumata is defeated like this. He is a capable combatant when faced with another (or multiple duelists) due to the physical advantages of Noon Universe humans, plus the combat training that is superior to anything on The Dung Ages Arkanar. So, what does Don Reba do? He gets 30 of the beefiest, fattest guards, armed only with clubs, nets, and shields. They overwhelm him (despite taking several casualties), then capture him, and bring to Don Reba. | |

Set up magnificently in Now You See Me during Act II of the Four Horsemen's tour. As part of the act, several volunteer audience members are hypnotized to attack the "Quarterback" when they hear the Trigger Word "Freeze". They return to their seats and the show goes on. However, when the Horsemen conclude their performance by publicly robbing their millionaire patron, Agent Rhodes moves in to apprehend them. Being a law enforcement officer in pursuit of fleeing suspects, he naturally yells, "Freeze!" Cue one dogpiled cop and four escaping Horsemen. Hilariously, The Reveal that Rhodes himself is none other than the The Man Behind The Horsemen implies that he willingly sprung that trap on himself. | |

Blue Eye Samurai. Mizu is fighting the Thousand Claws inside Madame Keiji's brothel. At one point she runs out the front door chased by the Claws and slams it behind her. As she's holding the door shut with her pursuers pushing on the other side, she looks over her shoulder and sees the rest of the Claws waiting on the street behind her. The door is then forced down on top of her, and she ends the scene pinned helplessly under the door while the Claws dogpile on top of it. | |

Kevin gets mobbed again by DNAliens in "Birds of a Feather", and managed to pull a slips before Gwen does a fends them off for him. In "The Final Battle: Part 2", Albedo as Negative Ultimate Humungousaur gets mobbed by Vilgax's army of Bioids as Humungousaurs. He did a fight them off once, but then got overpowered. |

Played for drama in Berserk. During the Eclipse, when Guts sees the only other survivor of the massacre, his lover Casca, in the perverse grasp of some demons, he rushes in to save her from the swarm, but gets his arm caught in the jaws of a demon. Then, to make matters more horrifying, his former commander and friend Griffith, who was the one who enabled the Eclipse in order to become a demon lord, is reborn as the fifth member of the Godhand Femto, flies down and starts having his way with Casca. Desperate to save her, Guts resorts to hacking off his own arm with a broken sword in order to escape from the demon's grasp and continues his rampage... only to be telekinetically hurled back by Femto's power and then dogpiled by a mess of demons, mere feet away. And then he was Forced to Watch... | |

The boss battle against Ra's al Ghul in Batman: Arkham City includes sequences where a horde of ninjas leaps at Batman from all directions, with the action slowing down while they are still in mid-air. The player must rapidly press the "counter" button to account for every single ninja before they land; if this is done right, the player is rewarded with the sight of Batman exploding out of the dogpile. | |

A cutscene in [PROTOTYPE] has the basic infected do this to Alex and he busts out the Armor and Blade powers. In gameplay, you can do something similar with the Knuckle Shockwave and a decent-sized group of infected. | |

Batman: The Movie has a scene in which the Joker, the Riddler, the Penguin and their accompanying goon squad burst in on Bruce Wayne and Catwoman (disguised as Russian reporter Miss Kitka), with the intent to kidnap them. Bruce initially does pretty well for himself before the numbers become too much and the villains dogpile him, with the Penguin climbing on the very top with an open umbrella because that's how he rolls. | |

In The Children of Húrin, the Men of the House of Húrin stand as rearguard for the retreating elf army of Gondolin after the defeat of the Elves and their allies in the "Battle of Unnumbered Tears." Húrin and his household stand alone at the last until all his men and his brother Huor lie dead with corpses piled around him. Still Húrin fights on, when his own weapons are lost. His shield is broken. Húrin takes a two-handed axe from an Orc-Captain and fights on. Eighty trolls of the guard of the demon-lord Balrog Gothmog fall before Húrin and each time he sings out, in Elvish, "Day shall come again!" The axe melts in his hands and still he fights on. Finally, the Orcs dogpile Húrin and overwhelm him because while he can cut off their limbs, too many of their claws and arms remain attached to him and he is overwhelmed and taken captive. This is a classic example of You Shall Not Pass! and Heroic Sacrifice for Húrin, and a Despair Event Horizon and Start of Darkness for his family and his people. | |

In one Knights of the Dinner Table story, Brian comes up with the idea of hiring a gang of ten NPC peasants to follow the party around and dogpile their enemies, exploiting a flaw in the melee-combat rules to give them an easy victory regardless of the foe's strength.

All they managed though was making the short-tempered Red Lantern Kryptonian teenager mad. Kara explodes out of the pile, shaking them off with several blasts of heat vision and her Red Ring◊. Supergirl: Cosmic Adventures in the 8th Grade: An army of Superior Girl's minions leap onto Supragirl (a Supergirl of an alternate timeline). However, she explodes out of them quickly. In The Great Phantom Peril, half dozen of Phantom Zoners jump on Superman at once, but he slips out among them, circles back and rolls over the group as a human bowling ball. In The Hunt for Reactron, half dozen of members of Perseus Hazard's K-Squad jump on Supergirl to overwhelm her, but she breaks free easily (and angrily). The Condemned Legionnaires: Satan Girl is beating the Legion of Super-Heroes when she is suddenly dogpiled by a group of spherical aliens who owe their lives to Supergirl. Satan Girl cannot at all shake them or blow them off, and by the time they voluntarily and suddenly withdraw, the Legion is long gone. |

Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition: 3.5th splatbook Cityscape introduces rules for rampaging mobs. While your typical mob is composed of ordinary citizens with no class levels, it is way more dangerous than its individual parts. Even mid- to high-level characters caught in an angry mob are likely to be grabbed, pinned down, trampled and pummeled to death. By its very nature, a mob negates most defenses like armor, agility or invisibility, much like a swarm. | |

In fact, it doesn't even really work in the first place; Big Mac is clearly standing on the bottom half of the dog pile, and the top half can only cover him up to his neck. In episode "A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2", Changelings as fake Applejacks pile up on the real Applejack until Twilight Sparkle blasts them away and reels the real one towards her. |

In CSI, "Unfriendly Skies", a victim of the week dies when he starts acting erratically on a plane and a large number of passengers dogpile him. They thought he was drunk or drugged, but he really had undiagnosed encephalitis, which combined unfavorably with altitude and air pressure changes. | |

Superman: Superman gets dogpiled by Mutant animals in Legion of Super Heroes (2006), episode "Timber Wolf". And by Brainiac's robotic drones from the movie, Superman Unbound Superman: The Animated Series: Several mooks try this on a young lady... which leads to the reveal that this young lady, is, in fact, Supergirl in her first appearance. Superman unfortunately gets piled on more often than his cousin, but they always end in them knocked away — Mutated bacteria in "Monkey Fun" or Apokolips' demons in "Apokolips... Now, Part 2". |

A particularly hilarious example occurs in the Codename: Kids Next Door episode "Operation I.T." Numbuh 362 gets tired of being the supreme commander, and starts up a game of tag where whoever is "it" by noon gets to replace her. Strangely, nobody actually wants this position, so everyone begins to run and try to escape. However, once Numbuh 13 gets tagged, everyone around him immediately dog-piles onto him, screaming, "ANYONE BUT HIM!" because they'd rather tag themselves than let him become their leader. | |

In Ben 10: Omniverse, Ben becomes the center of almost all dog piles in this series. In "It Was Them", Ben as Rath gets mobbed by mutant ants but Rook saves him with a by slipping free. Right after the save, he gets mobbed again until he pulls a beats them off by transforming into Crashhopper. In "Ben Again", Eon gets dog piled and pummeled by Ben as Ditto clones, only to pull a slips away by shrinking. In "Charmed, I'm Sure", Ben as Swampfire gets dog piled by Mutant Pumpkins only to miraculously fight them off. In "The Vampire Strikes Back", Ben as Whampire gets massively mobbed by his brainwashed companions and all the townspeople consisting of Frankensteins, ghosts, mummies and werewolves. |

Henry Stickmin Series: On the Bounty/Rescue Route in Completing The Mission, one of options for getting past the Right Hand Man is a dogpile. If chosen, Henry and his team will dogpile on the Right Hand Man and then the Right Hand Man's own men become ecstatic and join in on the dogpile in excitement. The choice ends up being a fail though, as the Right Hand Man blows everybody off of him. | |

Dragon Ball Z: In the movie The Return of Cooler, both Vegeta and Goku are barely able to destroy one Metal Cooler, when they are overwhelmed by an army of them. After that, they are captured by Cooler. In another Dragon Ball Z movie, Bardock: Father of Goku, Frieza's minions try a unique, mid-air variant on Bardock as he flies out of Planet Vegeta's atmosphere; it fails. |

In the Transformers Victory episode "Attack! Leozack", Star Saber tries to fight off the Decepticons in his Jet Form, but gets piled on by Leozack, followed by the rest of the Dinoforce. Funny thing though, is that Leozack's the one getting crushed by their intense weight, while Star Saber simply breaks free by transforming. | |

The Power of the Equinox: When the royal guards go to Dimmed Star's cell to take her to her trial, they discover that she has corroded both her chains and the magic suppression ring that was placed on her horn. They react by sounding an alarm, dogpiling her with the reinforcements, and placing new restraints — including two magic supression rings — on her. It turns out that they're able to do all of this only because Dimmed Star decides to humor them. | |
