Gold Fever	comment	Gold. Those who have it can't let it go, those who don't have it covet it. There's something about it that just gets to people's heads, something beyond its simple monetary value. Characters who come across a trove of gold (or silver, gems, cash or other treasure, but most often yellow gold) will almost inevitably become obsessed over it to the point of near lunacy. This typically manifests as single-minded greed and jealousy, with characters putting their newfound need to hoard wealth above any previous goal or attachment that they may have had. The actual source of wealth can be almost anything — a rich mine or deposit, a successful bank heist, buried Pirate Booty, the spoils of war, a dragon's treasure — but the effect will be the same. Sometimes, if the characters in question are expecting to gain a great deal of wealth through whichever means, they may consciously try to avert this trope and plan to split the wealth fairly and only take what they can carry or need for a comfortable life. But all of this will be forgotten the very instant that the wealth is in sight: people will rejoice, stuff bags and pockets with treasure and obsess over how rich they now are... until it inevitably occurs to them that they'd be even richer if they didn't have to share it with all these other fellows... By the end of it, you can expect all signs of sanity or survival instincts to go right out the window as the characters obsessively try to hoard as much as they can, and lifelong friends to fly at each other's throats for just one more shiny coin... There's probably nothing that can be more destructive to a circle of True Companions than this, for Gold Fever is a moral disease as well as a mental one. To be infected with it leaves one vulnerable to the effects of karma and removes all protections one gets from being an upright hero. Fortunately, most heroes infected with Gold Fever realize what dinks they're being and turn back into their own noble, non-greedy selves just in time to avoid killing each other or being crushed by the Treasure Room's bamboo-powered boobytraps. Though sometimes they make off with a teensy partial sum of it if the writer thinks they deserve it. Villains who have been infected with Gold Fever don't make out nearly as well as heroes. They're almost certain to bump each other off and/or end up tripping headfirst into a Lava Pit while clutching a golden trinket and hissing insanely: "It's mine! ALL MINE! MIIIII—" FLOOP! In fact, the main cause of Karmic Death is a villain's own avarice, and their inability to see what danger they're in while they're trying to satisfy it or the inability to let go when it starts to interfere with their immediate chances of survival (like if they're stupidly trying to drag heavy gold bars with them and are thus caught in a Death Trap that they'd otherwise have been able to evade). Even the most brilliant and street-savvy of villains can find themselves holding the Idiot Ball when Gold Fever strikes. And being already insanely wealthy is no protection against Gold Fever. In fact, wealthy characters seem even more inclined to take leave of their senses when Gold Fever strikes, most likely because the existing drive which led them to become wealthy in the first place is a fire that Gold Fever is just adding fuel to. Donâ€™t expect anyone to give much thought to what they're going to do with all this wealth, how they'll carry it away, or how they'll defend it and themselves from other people with Gold Fever. Foresight is generally one of the first things to go in these situations. While this pernicious disease can affect almost anyone, western dragons, dwarves and crazed prospectors seem to be particularly vulnerable to its effects. Sub-Trope of Greed Makes You Dumb. See also Artifact of Attraction, Money Fetish, Prospector and especially Greed. Related is Apple of Discord, where greed might not be the primary motivation, but the end result still turns out to be a free-for-all. Contrast with Worthless Yellow Rocks, where someone regards gold (or something else generally considered valuable) as useless junk.

Gold Fever / int_11d152d0	comment	Belgariad: The "red gold" of Angarak, which induces Gold Fever in those who possess it. The explanation given is that the red gold magically "calls to its own", causing the gold to be drawn together, which causes the holder to want to gather more and more in one place. The bonus here is that you can avoid the effects if you have the integrity or wisdom to refuse Angarak gifts. In later books, prospectors are encountered who have a more traditional gold fever, but this has little impact on the plot.

Gold Fever / int_18e1d600	comment	Uncharted 4: A Thief's End: Nathan Drake and his long-lost brother Sam are hunting for Libertalia, a legendary "pirate utopia" created by Henry Avery and other pirate lords long ago. They soon discover it only to find signs of a massive battle with hundreds of corpses strewn about. It turns out that the entire "utopia" was all a massive con to trick settlers into handing over their money so the pirates could hoard it. The pirate captains started to fight for the treasure so Avery and Tews poisoned them all to get it themselves. Avery fell further into madness and paranoia to the point of having scores of settlers brutally executed. He finally tried to escape only for Tews to catch up to them. The Drakes eventually find the massive treasure hoard on a ship with the skeletons of Tews and Avery having killed each other for the gold neither could possess. This ends up being a major part of the game as well as Sam has been obsessed with finding Libertalia for years. He lies to Nate about owing a big drug lord when in reality, Sam was working for treasure hunter Rafe only to double-cross him when he got the clues to find Libertalia. Even when they discover how the entire place fell apart because of Avery's greed, Sam still insists on going after the treasure. A telling moment is Nadine, a full-fledged mercenary, thinks this fight for gold is insane and just leaves Rafe to his quest. In a huge final battle, Rafe outdoes Sam by going completely mad wanting the treasure and willing to kill anyone for it. In an Ironic Death, he ends up being crushed under the weight of a huge pile of gold. In the end, Sam does get some of the coins from the boat but realizes how his obsession nearly cost him his brother's life. Nate, meanwhile, has had his eyes opened by the whole thing to see how a life of adventure is really empty. He ends up settling down with wife Elena and a Time Skip final chapter shows them running a successful salvage company and raising a daughter and both much happier out of this treasure hunting life.

Gold Fever / int_23d67c89	comment	The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey: ThrÃ³r, king of Erebor and Thorin's grandfather, is shown in flashbacks to be so obsessed with gold that it's even described to be a "sickness" and his obsession with filling his treasure rooms with enough gold to build a castle out of it is implied to have attracted Smaug to Erebor in the first place. In The Battle of the Five Armies Thorin proves to be at least as nutty as his grandpa, degenerating swiftly into a paranoid recluse who would rather die than give away a single coin. Thankfully he snaps out of it during the final battle. A line from Balin implies that treasure that's been part of a Dragon Hoard carries a genuine curse called "Dragon Sickness" that drives the treasure's new owners to behave much like a dragon - paranoid, greedy, and murderously possessive. While ThrÃ³r fell to dragon sickness on his own, it's hinted by Thorin's behavior and even his speech mannerisms becoming more like Smaug that the decades he spent sleeping in the hoard had cursed Erebor's treasures and that curse was consuming Thorin.

The victims obsessively clutch the bars to themselves, as they meld with their flesh and slowly drain their life force. The only way to interrupt the process is to remove the affected flesh with power tools, and if allowed to fully consume the victim, the gold expands up to a kilogram in size before producing a coin with similar effects and the inscription "Greed Begets Greed."

A historian hires some mercenaries and a slightly down-on-his-luck Space Trucker to investigate a possible sighting of a huge and immensely valuable derelict starship of the fallen Galactic Empire, a "seedship" used for exploration and terraforming with genetic engineering technology unequalled anywhere else in the galaxy. Within about five minutes of discovering the ship is where the historian predicted it would be, pretty much everyone is scheming to get it all to themselves, barely even pausing to acknowledge the fact that they've set off the seedship's security systems, and the atmosphere is being pumped full of horrifying plagues while the most dangerous predatory animals the old Empire had ever encountered are loosed to stalk the corridors. The only person not swept up in this lunacy is the freighter pilot who provided transport to the ship in the first place, who has no ambition beyond doing the job he was hired to do and getting paid the agreed sum, or failing that at least getting off the seedship in one piece. He ends up becoming the ship's new owner by default after the second-to-last survivor is eaten by a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

They decide to get revenge by killing Death himself and set out toward a nearby village. Along the way, they encounter an elderly man and demand that he tell them where to find Death; he points them toward a nearby tree, where they discover a chest overflowing with gold coins and immediately get swept up in the fever. Two of the men send a third into town to buy food, only to scheme to murder him when he returns so they can split the treasure two ways instead of three, while the third buys poison and taints their provisions so he can have all of the gold for himself. When he returns, he's immediately killed, and then the other men eat the poisoned food and perish as well... meaning that they found Death after all.

Gold is Serious Business where he's concerned. The odd thing is, it's not even his gold he's obsessing over. He's just elevated his belief in the prevailing economic system to something akin to a religious conviction. He also suffers from a rather bad case of perfectionism to the point of being Obsessively Organized, and when he finds out he's made a minor error in his figures he "[has] a nasty turn" and locks himself in the vault... which doesn't actually contain any gold, because the previous owners of the bank had quietly sold it off without telling anyone and pocketed the cash and nobody noticed, proving Moist's point about the value of gold being powered by "Clap Your Hands If You Believe".

Gold Fever / int_5690420f	comment	DuckTales (1987): "Treasure of the Golden Suns", the Five-Episode Pilot, revolves around Scrooge McDuck and his nephews looking for an ancient treasure, and after the loss of the first trove, it's mother lode, the Temple Of the Golden Sun. Gold Fever, identified by name, rears its ugly head in the last part, causing Scrooge to unwittingly trip a Secret Test of Character trap. The lure of the gold and its sheer abundance is so great that even Hewey, Louie and Dewey fall for it shortly after Scrooge.note It apparently gives you the hiccups. It falls on Webbigail and Mrs. Beakley to keep a level head and figure out the deathtrap. Scrooge breaks out of his Gold Fever when his life is sufficiently threatened; the Big Bad doesn't. Said Big Bad, el Capitan, is revealed to have been the same Spanish conquistador who originally stumbled across the treasure some 300 years previous, and after leaving his crew behind, ended up losing the ship with his original treasure haul, and somehow managed to survive and keep himself alive for centuries by sheer will just for the hope of recovering his treasure. After he and Scrooge trigger the trap in the Temple, he's still sane enough to flee along with the others, but immediately rushes back once the danger is past, only to discover that the Temple is buried under a mountain of stone and dirt. He promptly starts trying to dig it out by hand, and never appears again, so presumably he's still digging away over there. "The Golden Fleecing": Scrooge has wished he could somehow find the Golden Fleece since he heard about it as a child, and when he realizes that it may actually be real, he immediately goes after it. Unfortunately, his lust for the fleece blinds him to all else, despite his nephews' calling out over stealing the Fleece and abandoning Launchpad. He gets better.

Gold Fever / int_56e10d85	comment	Tolkien's Legendarium: The Hobbit: The armies of Elves, Dwarves and Men would normally be able to get along, but can't when a dragon's hoard is up for grabs. It is implied that the depth of the gold fever is the result of a curse laid on the trove by Smaug (apparently a common thing for dragons to do). The Lord of the Rings: The dwarves of Moria, as Gandalf states, "dug too greedily, and too deep." Justified in that this treasure was Mithril, with military applications needed during the orc assaults, and they had no way of knowing they could dig up a Balrog. This was the effect that the Seven Rings had on the dwarves. While the Nine Rings corrupted humans and reduced them into wraiths, the dwarves were too hardy and bound to earth to be affected that way, but the Rings made them paranoid and greedy, even as they helped them to accumulate wealth. The Silmarillion: The Silmarils have this effect on people, along with the Nauglamir/Necklace of the Dwarves. When Thingol fuses the two together, well... As per common mythological depiction, dragons are obsessed with gold. Of the four named dragons in the legendarium, three are explicitly mentioned to possess massive hoards, and two spent many, many years having the time of their lives simply sleeping on it.

The Courier is abducted and forced to help a madman rob the Sierra Madre (see Film above), a pre-war casino and resort rumored to house a great treasure. The place is a death trap full of poisonous fumes, lethal holograms and mutants in hazmat suits, but just as many of its would-be looters ended up turning on each other — other characters comment on how it was a "sickness" that afflicted people. Thus, your Bad Boss decided to link you and your fellow conscripts with Explosive Leashes so killing each other isn't an option (although your particular team is motivated by more than money). In the end, you may fall victim to this when you uncover the vault of gold bars in the heart of the casino: yes, you need to get the hell out of there, but surely you could afford to take one gold ingot. Or maybe two... three, if you leave behind some weapons or armor. If you're stealthy enough, you can take all of them with younote if you sneak on to the elevator, you can carry as much as possible; as long as you get behind the force field before Father Elijah realizes you're not in the bunker, you can take all of the gold bars with you, and once you escape, you can store them in the abandoned bunker that took you to the Sierra Madre, making trips back and forth.

The Alethi learned that the Shattered Plains, where the Parshendi are hiding out in, were home to a huge number of massive beasts known as chasmfiends, who would form colossal cocoons there as part of their life cycles. The chasmfiends each have an organ known as a "gemheart" which is essentially a massive gemstone that serves as a storage battery for Stormlight that lets them grow to such massive sizes. Because the world's money system revolves around trading gemstones that can contain Stormlight, this means that every chasmfiend is a gigantic treasure chest just waiting to be opened up. As a result, the Alethi stopped caring about just fighting the Parshendi and instead focused all of their efforts on harvesting these pupating chasmfiends whenever they appear, only fighting their enemy when they meet on the field while trying to harvest the same target.

Justified in that this treasure was Mithril, with military applications needed during the orc assaults, and they had no way of knowing they could dig up a Balrog. This was the effect that the Seven Rings had on the dwarves. While the Nine Rings corrupted humans and reduced them into wraiths, the dwarves were too hardy and bound to earth to be affected that way, but the Rings made them paranoid and greedy, even as they helped them to accumulate wealth.

Thankfully he snaps out of it during the final battle. A line from Balin implies that treasure that's been part of a Dragon Hoard carries a genuine curse called "Dragon Sickness" that drives the treasure's new owners to behave much like a dragon - paranoid, greedy, and murderously possessive. While ThrÃ³r fell to dragon sickness on his own, it's hinted by Thorin's behavior and even his speech mannerisms becoming more like Smaug that the decades he spent sleeping in the hoard had cursed Erebor's treasures and that curse was consuming Thorin.

Is somewhat averted here, since Mark and Ben, the actual heroes of the story only end up fighting their less heroic accomplices, and remain loyal to each other. Also, the treasures they are fighting for, the eponymous magical swords, effectively cannot be shared and can be carried away.

Eventually both are forced to abandon the chest during a volcanic eruption, but not before Debbie procures one last gold coin which she nonchalantly flicks into the sea as they leave the islands. Eliza, apparently not having learned her lesson, jumps right after it. Having anticipated the action, Debbie throws her a floatie and enjoys herself away from her sister as the episode ends.

Gold Fever / int_c19c6efa	comment	Minecraft: The Nether Update introduces the Piglin mob. Normally hostile towards the player, Piglins become neutral when the player dons any piece of gold armor, and the player can barter gold ingots in exchange for items and blocks. Attempting to mine gold in the Nether with Piglins nearby will provoke them, even if the player is wearing gold armor. Dropping a gold item near a Piglin chasing you will cause it to pick up the item and admire it for some seconds, allowing you to either escape or put some gold armor on to get them to leave you alone.

Gold Fever / int_c4282b71	comment	My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Rarity has had this happen to her. In "Dragonshy", she blows a diplomatic talk with a dragon (whose snoring threatens to blanket Equestria in smoke) by trying to filch parts the hoard he's sleeping on in front of him. This is later forced onto her in "The Return of Harmony, Part 1" when Discord brainwashes her into being overcome by her greed — to add insult to injury, the "giant diamond" with which she becomes fanatically obsessed is actually a worthless boulder.

Gold Fever / int_c6f7e804	comment	Blake's 7: In "Gold", the ostensible heroes end up killing a lot of people from a neutral planet to rob a gold shipment for reasons that have nothing to do with their revolutionary ideals. While it's not the first Caper episode for a Mineral MacGuffin that ends in failure, this one has Servalan walking away with the gold and leaving them with a pile of worthless alien currency. The episode ends with the normally stoic Avon breaking down in insane laughter on realising it's all been for nothing.

Gold Fever / int_c70a1171	comment	Conan the Barbarian: The RPG has characters making a Will save when coming across an amount of treasure worth at least as much as a king's ransom, and failing the save results in being distracted, which can be dangerous in the Conan universe where, more often than not, there's something guarding that treasure that more often than not wants to eat you. If the treasure is cursed or magically tainted in any way, a character may gain corruption points upon a failed Will save.

Gold Fever / int_c720f71e	comment	While not to the point of full-on mania, gold and silver stackers (people who collect the precious metals for investment as well as a hobby) are a very dedicated group, and often set out with the goal to get as much of the stuff they can get their hands on, for varying reasons. With the rise of the internet, itâ€™s not unheard of to see stackers proudly showing off their latest hauls of tens or even hundreds of ounces of silver on sites such as YouTube, and itâ€™s hard not to feel a bit of the gold fever rising as a viewer, either!

His pet monkey Abu, however, clearly falls for the Gold Fever as he drools over a large gemstone and grabs it, triggering the cavern collapse. This has the unexpected result of saving Aladdin's life as Jafar was waiting for Aladdin to exit so he could murder him and steal the lamp for himself. Taken even further in the sequel Aladdin and the King of Thieves, in which Aladdin's father Cassim is searching for the Hand of Midas, a fabled artifact that turns all it touches into gold. The villainous Sa'luk, however, pursues it for himself. When the location of the hand is discovered, Cassim throws the Hand to Sa'luk, who catches it on the wrong end and turns into a golden statue. Cassim eventually overcomes his obsession and allows the artifact to sink into the ocean and be forgotten.

They are so consumed by gold fever that they ignore the fact that the room is underneath a busy New York City subway station and the explosion is likely to injure or kill hundreds of people. By the time the detectives start investigating, two members of the group have already proven themselves to be Too Dumb to Live and accidentally killed themselves while making the bombs. The leader of the group turns out to be a transit cop who set things up specifically so his accomplices killed themselves off and left him with the whole treasure all to himself. Ironically, the treasure was Hidden in Plain Sight and all the preparations and deaths were completely unnecessary. If they were not so blinded by greed and simply reexamined the clues, they could have found the treasure and walked away as millionaires.
