A specific Portent of Doom, in which a character has foreseen the circumstances under which they are going to die, whether by natural means or foul play. The character may also predict when and where the exact time and location of their death will be. However, while in some cases the character may know that it's their own demise they're predicting, other times they may not be aware. The character's death may be forecast through some incident, phrase, item, or dream that will later become a Chekhov's Gun or Meaningful Echo. The Incurable Cough of Death is often a giveaway clue. The Magical Negro or The Omniscient might wind up doing this at some point, although it's not a constant or necessary factor of either character. It may also be a consequence of the Mentor Occupational Hazard. Depending on the circumstances, and if they knew what those circumstances would be, the character's response to this knowledge will vary. They may Go Out with a Smile and Face Death with Dignity. Or they may decide that Prescience Is Predictable since they already know how they're going to die anyway. Or they may Go Mad from the Revelation. Compare You Can't Fight Fate, where a person resigns themselves to the fate outlined for them, and Prophecies Are Always Right, which is...well. Also see Your Days Are Numbered, where they know they don't have long to live (but they may or may not know how long they have, and the prediction is the result of a force or circumstance outside of themselves). Not the same as the Self-Fulfilling Prophecy, Whodunnit to Me? or Thanatos Gambit or to be confused with Psychic Glimpse of Death. Not to be confused with "Not How I'm Dying" Declaration, though there can be overlap. NOTE: A character foreseeing or predicting someone else's death is not this trope. The character has to be predicting their own death. As a Death Trope, all examples, by their very nature, will be treated as spoilers. |

In Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, Agarth realized being a Fateweaver wasn't all it was cracked up to be when he foresaw his own ultimate fate of being the main ingredient of an ettin's stewpot. He got very drunk that day. When he accompanies the Fateless One during an early quest, they encounter an ettin. Agarth tells the Fateless One to go on ahead, convinced that this is the day he will die. The Fateless One then demonstrates the power to Screw Destiny by slaying the ettin, averting Agarth's fated end. | |

In Smax, a powerful dragon has such precise visions of the future he can send a message to a woman through an anagram that someone who met the dragon once heard him say. The woman, Robyn, happens to build a giant ballista with a giant bolt made of Cold Iron, the one thing that could kill the dragon. The dragon gets distracted chasing Smax right into it, and takes the iron right in the heart. His final words are "I knew this would happen!" | |

Fire Emblem has this happen twice in different games: In Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, Father Claud knew that he'd die either at the Battle of Barhera or around that time. He decided that, since he couldn't change his fate, he'd rather use the time he had left fighting against the Lopto Sect. In Fire Emblem Fates, Queen Mikoto of Hoshido foresaw her own death (though not exactly how she'd perish), yet carried on being her usual self. She died in an Heroic Sacrifice to save her child, the Player Character, few later. |

Syd Barrett's album Barrett has a song called "Effervescing Elephant". The elephant in this song predicts he will die in June because of a roaming tiger. While the jungle animals flee the tiger assures them he will not hurt one of them, but prefers something that is less scant to chew on, namely the elephant, who is then eaten by him. | |

Harry Potter and the Lack of Lamb Sauce: In Chapter 81, Arjuna has a nightmare that ends with being encased in "bright, killing green" light. While her initial assumption is that three of her co-members of the Voice of the Resistance will die, the ambush that transpires two chapters later ends with Arjuna lying dead on the ground, while one of the co-rebel friends she thought would die is mind-controlled to obey his evil father's expectations for him. | |

He will calmly tell people "I have seen my end, and this ain't it." When he tries it one last time after having been shot by Roy Goode, Roy replies “You saw wrong�, and shoots Frank in the head. | |

The Outer Limits (1995): In "What Will the Neighbors Think?", Mona Bailey has visions of her death after receiving her telepathic powers. She sees herself falling out of the window of her third floor apartment. Considering that everyone is thinking about killing her, she assumes that she will be murdered and takes steps to ensure that all of the other residents turn on each other before this can happen. All of the other residents, that is, except for her husband Ned. He was the only one who knew that she had become telepathic and was able to control his thoughts to prevent her from finding out that he planned to kill her. Unable to cope with the revelation or the voices in her mind which she thought had gone, Mona jumps out the window to her death. It turns out that the voices had actually gone and Ned had used a tape to trick her. | |

In Big Fish, the main character knows how he will die because he looked into a witch's eye. Later he escapes a scrape as he announces "This isn't how I die!" Subverted in that he actually doesn't know, since he made up the whole story, but has his son make up his own story of how he died at his deathbed. | |

A characteristic of witches and wizards in Discworld, witches usually use their visions to get their affairs in order while wizards prefer to empty their wine cellars and run up a ton of debts. Both have a tradition of "going away parties" which are like wakes, except that the guest of honour is still there. Exactly how long in advance seems to vary as well, some of them only seem to have a few days' notice. | |

Nozdormu, as part of his powers as the World of Warcraft's Aspect of Time, was given foreknowledge of the exact time and manner of his death. In fact, he oversees the players' killing his future self at the end of the End Time instance. Chromie reveals this knowledge of their death is shared with the rest of his flight: They all know the time of their 'true' death, and use it as a measuring stick for how bad the flow of time has been disturbed; if they find a timeline where they die sooner or later than intended, they know something has been tampering with time in an unacceptable manner. | |

The events of Ride the Cyclone are kicked off due to The Amazing Karnak— a mechanical Fortune Teller designed to predict the time, place and manner of peoples' deaths, foreseeing that his own death will occur in just over an hour via a rat who will soon chew through his power cable. Knowing this, he chooses to use the last of his power to grant a group of teenagers (who died in an accident he predicted but failed to warn them of) the opportunity to express their hopes and dreams- and for one of them, a second chance at life. | |

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: There's a Dark Brotherhood assassin named Gabriella who claims to have foreseen the circumstances of her own death. She's eventually killed when the Imperial bodyguard, the Penitus Oculatus, raid the sanctuary where she lives, but since she doesn't share any of the details of her prediction, it's left vague as to whether or not that's how she expected to die. After the death of Kodlak Whitemane during the Companion Questline, his journal reveals that he had long since been plagued by dreams of Tsun barring the Harbingers before him from entering Sovngarde because of their Lycanthropy, letting Hircine drag them to his hunting grounds for all eternity. When it came to his turn, he saw the Dragonborn step in and fight alongside his spirit, ultimately freeing his soul from the Daedric Prince's clutches and allowing him to enter the Nordic afterlife. It turns out this was the real reason he took the Dragonborn under his wing and placed such trust and faith in them. |

The chieftains of the Bleeding Hollow clan undergo a ritual in which they carve out one of their eyes and receive a vision of their death. Knowing the circumstances of their death they can lead without fear even against foes that would usually concern them. Kilrogg in particular anticipated that final battle. Then Kilrogg grants a vision of how players will die as part of his fight: Outnumbered against an endless army of Burning Legion demons as Azeroth burns, dying as Khadgar casts his last spell. The player is empowered by the vision as it is proof that Kilorgg will not kill them. |

In Final Fantasy VII Remake, it is strongly implied that Aerith's connection to the planet and the Arbiters of Fate let her be acutely aware of how and where she is fated to die. In a dream-vision she warns Cloud not to fall in love with her, while striking the same prayer pose she held when Sephiroth killed her in the original Final Fantasy VII. | |

Final Fantasy XIII-2: It is said that the Seer of Paddra (aka Yeul) always knew her fate — right down to the exact time and circumstances (usually the result of a vision), but was unable to change it — for fear of bringing a worse one upon her people. | |

Vanyel, the protagonist of the Last Herald-Mage Trilogy, has recurring prophetic dreams about his death in a duel with an evil sorcerer. His final fight doesn't go exactly as foreseen, but it follows the major notes (and series readers already know Van is Doomed by Canon). | |

Around the mid-point of the episode, the top psychic in the country, the Grand Oracle (played by Isaac Hayes) tells his top two aides (one of whom is Wade's Love Interest for this episode) he will die of a brain hemmorage in 12 hours, and must choose one of them to be his successor. | |

As this Thanos is at a point where he lacks the capacity to understand why people struggle and/or sympathize with others, it inspires him to go out of his way to follow the time-traveling Avengers back to the prime timeline, so as to avert his demise and try to repeat what his future self achieved. | |

A variation in FlashForward (2009): at the start of the series, everyone on Earth blacks out for 2 minutes, almost all of them experiencing a vision of themselves six months into the future. However, one of the main characters — FBI agent Demetri Noh — doesn't experience anything, which leads him to the terrifying conclusion that it's because he'll be dead before then. His arc for the rest of the series is involved in determining whether the visions of the future are preordained or if there's a reason why he didn't see anything other than death, consequently putting his life in even more danger. | |

In the background of Warhammer 40,000, both the Primarchs with precognition had visions of their own deaths long before they happened, and both let them happen. The angelic Sanguinius willingly went to fight his traitorous brother Horus despite knowing he couldn’t win as he saw it as his duty. The brutal Konrad Curze on the other hand let the Imperial Assassin M'Shen kill him as he believed that doing so would justify his vicious and heretical actions. | |

Doctor Who: The 2009 specials had the Doctor receiving a prophecy of his "death" from Carmen ("He will knock four times"), but he doesn't find out what it means until "The End of Time". In "Human Nature", a boy named Timothy Latimer steals and opens a pocketwatch from his teacher John Smith, (actually, an amnesiac Doctor who took on a human disguise to hide from some aliens, who needs the watch to restore his original form and memories) only to be greeted with a horrifying vision of him in World War I next year, where he's on the battlefield with a wounded fellow soldier, looks at the same watch, and looks up to see a mortar shell land directly on top of him. At the end of the next part, the now-revived Doctor gives him the depleted but mechanically-functional pocketwatch. One year later, he's on the battlefield in the exact same spot as his vision, looks at the watch, and manages to move himself and his comrade out of the way, enabling him to survive. A rather interesting variation occurs in Series 6, in which the Doctor invites his younger self and three others to see his own death, but he's the only one of the four that doesn't see it. For the rest of the first half of the season, Amy and Rory know exactly when, where and how the Doctor is going to die, but they can't tell him (lest they make it fixed in his timeline too, preventing him from escaping it). He doesn't find out about his death until "The Almost People" and the full circumstances surrounding it until "Let's Kill Hitler". In "The Name of the Doctor", it's revealed that the Eleventh Doctor has been aware of this for some time, knowing both the location and guessing at some of the circumstances of the Doctor's eventual death at Trenzalore. Note that this isn't actually the death of his Eleventh incarnation, but rather the ultimate fate of the Doctor himself. He freely admits that this is something that cannot be avoided and that he will always die at Trenzalore in one last final battle. The swirling energy that comprises his timestream and serves as his "corpse" makes this point even more obvious. "The Haunting of Villa Diodati": It turns out the Doctor knows an old Time Lord trick that can make someone appear dead by sending their mind forward in time to the point of their eventual death. She does this to Percy Bysshe Shelley in order to release a Cyberman AI called the Cyberium from his body without killing him. |

He tells the Question that he can still sometimes glimpse the future, which is why he knows that he is going to die that night. And it will be by fire, something he's always known since childhood. Though the Question tries to convince him he can Screw Destiny, J'onn's prediction comes to pass. | |

Warrior Cats: At the beginning of Twilight, a cat is informed by Star Clan of their impending death. It's later revealed to be Cinderpelt, who dies defending a cat giving birth from badgers. Toward the end of one of the Expanded Universe novels, it is mentioned that medicine cat Goosefeather predicted that he would die on the day of the first snowfall, and he did. Flametail spends all of Night Whispers having terrifying visions about falling through ice into darkness. This turns out to predict his own death, drowning after he falls through the ice over the lake. |
