A plot wherein the characters are affected by a force unknown to them and become increasingly snappish and disagreeable to each other, sometimes escalating to outright murderousness. This is often a subtle plan by the Big Bad of the story who figures that it's easier to just let the heroes kill each other off. Naturally, the heroes realize it just in time. This is sometimes a way for characters to vent hitherto unmentioned grievances. Ironically, despite the use of Applied Phlebotinum, this is a more believable version of Toilet Seat Divorce and Jerkass Ball, since everyone is Not Himself. In video games with Status Effects, this can show up as an actual game mechanic, usually called "Confusion" or "Berserk." The Trope Namer is the plot of The Transformers cartoon storyline "The Return of Optimus Prime", a red glowy virus transmitted by touch that affects human and robot alike. Sub-Trope of Emotion Bomb. Contrast with Love Is in the Air. Compare Apple of Discord and Psycho Serum. See also Mind Virus and Artifact of Attraction. Frequently overlaps with Technically-Living Zombie. May lead to a Powering Villain Realization. |

In Adventure Time's "Elements" arc, the effects of Flame Princess' elemental powers transformed the Fire Kingdom into a giant burning crater where the fire people endlessly fight because her influence turns people into battle-crazed Blood Knights. Cinnamon Bun is the only Fire Kingdom resident immune to her influence (because of his flame shield), but refuses to try to help because FP and her people are so aggressive that there's no point trying to reason with them. | |

Kamen Rider Fourze: A variation of this is the Capricorn Zodiart's special ability, triggered by his music. Those affected by it go berserk, but not necessarily in a violent manner: some of the protagonists affected by it are compelled to perform an outlandish rock song of their own. The music also doesn't grant any additional energy or protection from an adrenaline crash, so the infected collapse from exhaustion within about a day. | |

In Cell, a signal (possibly sent by terrorists) broadcast over cell phones strips away the higher functions of the brain, leaving just a state of murderous rage. The infected then progressively evolve into an organized, non-raged Hive Mind and develop Psychic Powers. | |

Worm: The entire story is based on the fact that all superpowered individuals have a literal spaceworm in their heads that makes them use their powers for punching instead of...well, literally anything useful. There are some other attempts to explain why Reed Richards Is Useless, such as the precog kaiju that will kill you if you try to be useful. On the other hand, said kaiju was either unconsciously created or controlled by a super who was so desperate to be able to continue punching things that he created them/used them to commit mass murder so that he could heroically stop them. | |

Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics): The evil wizard Ixis Naugus can amplify peoples' emotions. This is hinted to be the driving point for the Great War between the Mobians and human-esque Overlanders, and then the Mobian/Robian civil war. He later uses that same magic on the citizens of New Mobotropolis, magnifying their mistrust of NICOLE (following her stint of being brainwashed by the Iron Dominion) into full-blown paranoia, so that they will view her as a threat, and him as their "savior". In the rebooted run, Dark Gaia energy functions like this. Though it only appears at night, the gas induces aggressive tendencies when inhaled, best demonstrated when Sally and Dr. Ellidy lash out at each other over NICOLE. |

AXIS starts with the Red Skull using Professor X's brain to spread one of these across the globe. Not even the heroes are immune. In the Loki: Agent of Asgard issues, the "heroes" (as much as Loki, Verity, and Valeria Richards can be called that) use Doctor Doom's science equipment and Gram the Sword of Truth to create a "Truth Wave" to counter it.

In Sluggy Freelance, "Hate", several characters in an area are affected by magic that makes them get really angry and then turn into plant zombie monsters. It's really the doing of a plant-themed demon, and those who are affected are people who were already killed and now are waiting for the seed of hatred that will consume their souls and turn them into monsters. The last survivor among those affected is, not coincidentally, someone who can use emotion-calming magic. | |

One episode of Dungeons & Dragons (1983), featuring the usual "get to the one-chance exit back home" set-up, forced the kids to go through a maze to reach a portal. One part of the maze made all the kids become very aggressive, tetchy and downright bloodthirsty, which almost resulted in a nasty fight. Fortunately, Hank was able to snap everyone out of it. | |

Black Hand Confessors can throw hallucinogenic grenades, which cause any infantry caught in their area of effect (including friendlies) to attack their own allies. Unfortunately, it doesn't affect vehicles. |

Doctor Who Expanded Universe: In the Doctor Who New Adventures novel Original Sin, icaron radiation triggers "beppled" (cosmetically altered) humans to commit acts of violence at the slightest provocation. This is the ultimate weapon of the Arms Dealer in the New Series Adventures novel Silhouette. The Doctor manages to counteract it by first creating a pocket of resistance with a circus, and then getting the empathic Human Weapon the villain uses to collect the anger to collect the happiness from the circus audience and releasing it into the rest of the city. The antagonist of the Past Doctor Adventures book The Hollow Men utilizes one of these in the climax. |

The Tetch Virus from season 3 of Gotham both lowers the inhibitions of anyone infected by it and can exaggerate parts of their personality with many being driven to extreme rage some time after. Considering the kind of city Gotham is, this leads to a lot of death and destruction when it's weaponized and spread via a bomb during the season finale. | |

The Kid from Castle Rock seems to have the power to bring out the worst of anyone who touches him or even goes near him. One example is Zalewski, the prison guard the Kid befriended while in Shawshank. After giving the Kid a fist bump, Zalewski goes on a shooting rampage in the prison, killing all of the other guards, before being gunned down himself. In the next episode, the Kid enters the home of a family celebrating their son's birthday. As the Kid walks around the house, we can hear the family's love for each other turn into hate as the parents start arguing and get violent with each other. | |

Wonder Woman: Ares tends to incite rage in order to start wars and skirmishes. Wonder Woman (1942): Mars' lieutenants are sent to earth specifically to spread hate, mistrust and an inclanation towards violence among men in their spectral forms. Wonder Woman (1987): Eris has a whole bushel of Apples of Discord served at a political dinner on Themyscira which don't function as an Artifact of Attraction like in the original myths instead spreading a blind hate and distrust among those who eat them. Wonder Woman (2006): The villainess Genocide has powerful energy blasts. Anyone lucky enough to survive the explosion gets consumed by rage and paranoia. |

Played with in Star Trek: A Time to.... It sort of happens on the planet Delta Sigma IV, in A Time to Love and A Time to Hate, only with a twist. The plague isn't really causing the hate and violence—in fact, it's curing the populace of a mind-altering drug that kept them peaceful. Suddenly confronting emotions such as hate and rage for the first time, the Delta Sigma inhabitants can't cope, and old racial tensions erupt into violence. Riots soon spread across the planet. | |

The 100 has Sanctum suffer from this periodically: when its suns eclipse, all the plants release a chemical that makes all nearby animals become delusional and violent. This affects both the native lifeforms as well as humans, though some notably turn suicidal rather than homicidal.

However, it's revealed that while Abbadon does occasionally influence people to be the worst, he's not actually controlling them, but instead their murders are often not even his fault and just due to their pent up paranoia about the unknown coming out. | |

The SCP Foundation has a handful: SCP-923, a Kill Sat which works by driving Ax-Crazy everyone at the targeted location. At it's most intense output level it permanently damages the fabric of reality, as if it were driving reality itself insane. SCP-053 is an apparently ordinary three-year-old girl, except that anyone who is around her for more than a few minutes at a time becomes hyper-aggressive and homicidal toward her. This phenomena began happening after an incident where she may have been brought back to life or did not die when she was supposed to. The one thing that didn't want to kill her and actually befriend her was none other than SCP-682. This is very confusing otherwise it is an Omnicidal Maniac that tries to kill everything it sees. Some have speculated that the irrational hatred humanity has toward her is the same that 682 has toward humanity because both find something fundamentally wrong with the target's existence. SCP-114 is somewhat similar to the above: she is an adult Afghani woman that fosters conflict in those around her. However, unlike 053, that conflict is aimed at each other rather than at the SCP, and has more reach and no defences against it, resulting in much steeper and isolating containment procedures. SCP-2089 is John_████████_Is_Here, an Internet blogger who drives viewers of his content into prejudice towards him, posting hateful content about him (comments expressing dislike, fan art of him being harmed, encouraging him to kill himself). Combined with his inability to die, his condition is exploited to provide entertainment for other users by self-harm or suicide. Played for Laughs with SCP-2513, an enchanted Roman bridge built during the Punic Wars that makes anyone who crosses it homicidally angry at Tunisia (formerly Carthage). The Foundation later determined that if they were to simply destroy the bridge, it would infect every bridge in Italy and cause the nation to go to war, triggering massive geopolitical turmoil. SCP-3852 is a corpse that manifests outside a random Everytown, America, taking on the appearance of a resident believed to be guilty of a crime by the other locals. The affected residents believe that person to be dead and perceive them as their own killer, forming an Angry Mob to brutally murder them and anyone who gets in their way. Inverted by SCP-4266, which reveals that virtually all human aggression is the result of an airborne pathogen endemic to Earth's atmosphere that alters brain chemistry and is discovered after mankind starts colonizing space, leading the Foundation to gradually evacuate Earth altogether in favor of the Colonized Solar System. However, it's shown that without it humans become inclined to Suicidal Pacifism, leading to a contingent of Foundation personnel staying behind on Earth to perform the testing and harsh decisions the others are no longer capable of. |

Supernatural: The Croatoan virus, which is later part of Pestilence's plan to release it nationwide as part of Lucifer's endgame. Pestilence's older brothers War and Famine get in on this action, too. War is a Master of Illusion who can, with a twist of his ring, cause paranoia and hallucinations in people until they divide into factions and start killing each other. Famine has a variation: his very presence drives up people's natural hungers (for food, sex, money, etc.) to a point that they lose all control and start doing anything to get a fix, even if it means literally killing themselves (i.e., a pair of lovers start going at it on a diner table while the waitress cleans out the register and the short-order cook, apparently addicted to fatty food, plunges himself into the fryer to get to it). Even the heroes suffer the effects: Castiel (or, more accurately, his host body) craves red meat to such an extent that he eats hundreds of burgers and is rendered powerless by a tempting tray of raw steak, while Sam's addiction to demon blood rears up and has him killing monsters left and right. Only Dean is immune, but as Famine cruelly pointed out, that isn't any sort of Heroic Willpower: rather, he's so depressed and listless after his trip to Hell that he's unable to fill the void inside himself with anything; as the Horseman puts it, "You're already dead." |

Power Rangers: The Hate Master, one of the many Monsters of the Week that the original Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers had to deal with, has this as its primary ability. "A Season to Remember", the Christmas episode of Power Rangers Zeo, has this as a plot. The villains beam the rangers and their Jewish friend with a hate ray, causing them to squabble and fight about which cultural holiday is better. Ultimately, the day is saved by a little girl singing sappy Christmas songs about love and friendship, causing the effects of the ray to wear off. One of Divatox's plans in Power Rangers Turbo involves releasing a brand of jackets that increase the anger of whomever wears them and turns them into a huge jerk. |

The Elenium: The negative influence of the MacGuffin/Sealed Evil in a Can, the Bhelliom, causes the heroic Five-Man Band to start getting mutinous. The Bhelliom gets far nicer in the Tamuli, though. You'd be nasty, too, if you'd been used and abused and tortured by blood-stained jewels for thousands of years. When Bhelliom was actually addressed properly, like a person, a lot of misunderstandings got put to rest. Countess Bellina afflicts the minstrel with such a plague. |

Care Bears (1980s): One episode featured a mysterious meteorite infecting a small town, making the surroundings dull and gray and the citizens depressed and apathetic. Then it started affecting the Care Bears and their Cousins, but fortunately they were able to Care-Bear Stare the meteor into a deep hole on the outskirts of town. The Thanksgiving episode involved an evil pie maker named Sour Sam, who bakes a bunch of "crabby apple pies," that causes anyone who eats them to act like grumpy jerks, and the only thing that snaps them all out of it is a young boy's speech about what Thanksgiving is all about. In another episode, a variation occurs: on a rainy day, a demon of boredom appears and hits Hugs and Tugs Bear with a magical dust that drains them of their enthusiasm, making them dull and whiny. An Aesop about all of the fun you can have with your imagination serves as a helpful antidote. And another episode features No Heart conjuring magical bubbles that can imprison living things and amp up their anger, turning them into bitter, destructive monsters. The only cure was a rare type of gem called Caring Crystals, which Grumpy Bear had to collect while the others held back the bubble onslaught with a force field. |

One of the Dinotopia companion novels (The Maze) includes a heavier-than-air Hate Plague-inducing gas as one of the obstacles en route to the center of the titular maze. The raptor of the trio is driven out of the group first and decides to go up the walls, clearing his head. He then manages to take advantage of the gas' effects to dare the other two to stay together and not kill each other until they get out of the hazard zone. | |

Kamen Rider Build: The activation of the Pandora Box at the start of the series infected everyone present at the event, including most of Japan's leadership, with an energy that made them aggressive and power-hungry, including gaining an obsessive need to possess the Box. Nebula Gas, the Applied Phlebotinum released as a consequence of the Box's activation, also has this effect when injected at high enough volumes into humans who haven't built up a sufficient tolerance for it. | |

The Twilight Zone (1959): In the episode "The Encounter", a racist World War II veteran and a young Japanese-American man who came over to do housework are trapped in the veteran's attic by a samurai sword that belonged to a Japanese soldier the veteran killed. The sword bears an inscription "the sword will avenge me". And it does, as it brings out the darker sides of both men, culminating in a violent struggle that ends with the veteran accidentally impaled on the sword and the younger man throwing himself out the window in a fit of suicidal guilt. | |

Tolkien's Legendarium: The One Ring in The Lord of the Rings has this as its natural side-effect, turning people against one another by playing on their lust to use its power. The One Ring is so purely evil and so powerful in its corrupting influence that it can twist even the noblest desires into arrogance and narcissism and gradually makes the Wearer feel more and more entitled to it and greater than all the others which is the first step towards isolating him. And any ambitious desire will do perfectly. Faramir eg who proved resistant(in the original text, anyway) just wanted to live his life, and if he happened to be some sort of hero it would only be because he had to. Boromir wanted to be a big famous hero, cast down Mordor, restore Gondor and Arnor to their former glory. Certainly not a bad ambition, but the Ring can latch on to that to start its Hate Plague after taking hold, which it does to him since he shows hints of being tempted during the council scene, immediately upon being faced with the ring. Nothing demonstrates it better than its primary victim: Gollum and the flashback to Deágol and Sméagol finding the Ring while fishing. Within minutes Sméagol (Gollum) has killed his relative in order to possess the Ring. When it all comes down to it Sam proved to be the most resistant when he used it to rescue Frodo, since he had no desire for power whatsoever, while one reason that Faramir escaped the Ring's lures was he was smart enough to avoid ever even seeing it, telling Frodo to not even show it to him. Boromir wasn't so smart. Morgoth in The Silmarillion eventually became capable of sending these off with his will, although he was just as good at using rumor and misdirection to accomplish the same end without sorcery. |

A Nightmare on Elm Street: Perchance to Dream has the main character use his powers to suppress the dreams of the townspeople, in order to protect them from Freddy. Unfortunately, this has the unintended side effect of gradually causing everyone to become violently unstable, and begin lashing out at random. A few incidents mentioned by the police include a student stabbing a teacher in the eye with a pencil over a bad grade, and a man shooting his wife because she was "vacuuming in a really irritating way". | |

In The Order of the Stick, Xykon used this against the Sapphire Guard by casting a Symbol of Insanity onto a bouncy ball and flinging it into the throneroom upon his entrance.

In Higurashi: When They Cry, the plague is known as Hinamizawa Syndrome, and it's been what's driving characters to paranoia and murderous tendencies; as a result, anywhere from more than half of to the entire cast winds up dead at the various ends. It's actually more of a Paranoia Plague than a Hate Plague, with a side order of hallucinations, but it gets the job done. For example, in the first arc, Keiichi hallucinates normal conversations as being suddenly ominous and threatening (such as imagining the opposite party as their eyes dilating and speaking unemotionally), and it culminates with him killing his friends out of the belief he was protecting himself from them. Normal things like Rena seeing him at the grocery store and not saying hi, or giving him spicy riceballs, are perceived as being threats on his life. Keiichi thinks Rena is stalking him, and with the riceballs, he hallucinates that there's needles in it instead of hot sauce. Whether shown or not, most of the arcs end with the entire town dead as the military rolls in and kills everyone, ostensibly to stop a sudden mass outbreak of Hinamizawa Syndrome. One character does have it figured out in every arc (and a few more know about it but don't find out about specific instances until too late). Unfortunately, by not fighting against it aggressively enough, she produces the same effect as if she hadn't known about it at all, which is to say none, and still gets to watch her friends descend into violent madness. In Kai, the heroes finally learn about the plague in question and conquer it with the Power of Trust. | |

Schlock Mercenary: The "Random Access Memorabilia" storyline uses a nanite-based version of this, corrupting genetic engineering done to add variety to some members of over 950 million wormhole gate clones (It Makes Sense in Context) so that they get turned into Super Soldiers serving an underhanded faction of the UNS after being killed. Played with to some extent in the "Barsoom Circus" story arc, involving elephant sophonts. Musth is rather akin to a mating period, wherein the affected species become extremely violent and territorial. The cause of this is generally unknown, though some hesitant efforts have been made to identify it. In Schlock, there are a set of elephants afflicted by something akin to it, but it's caused by nanites instead. |

Star Trek Novel 'Verse: The entity from "Day of the Dove" (as outlined in "Television" below) figures in the destruction of the Tkon Empire in The Q Continuum, mainly by inciting war between the outer planets and youths and the elders and the home planet. Played with in Star Trek: A Time to.... It sort of happens on the planet Delta Sigma IV, in A Time to Love and A Time to Hate, only with a twist. The plague isn't really causing the hate and violence—in fact, it's curing the populace of a mind-altering drug that kept them peaceful. Suddenly confronting emotions such as hate and rage for the first time, the Delta Sigma inhabitants can't cope, and old racial tensions erupt into violence. Riots soon spread across the planet. |

Marvel Universe: AXIS starts with the Red Skull using Professor X's brain to spread one of these across the globe. Not even the heroes are immune. In the Loki: Agent of Asgard issues, the "heroes" (as much as Loki, Verity, and Valeria Richards can be called that) use Doctor Doom's science equipment and Gram the Sword of Truth to create a "Truth Wave" to counter it. It works. This is the main shtick of the Captain America villain named the Hate-Monger, whose original M.O. is spreading bigotry and aggression with his "hate-ray", usually directing people's hatred towards minorities. His consciousness eventually becomes a more literal Hate Plague, able to spread his evil ideals more directly. Fitting, given that he's the disembodied, body-hopping mind of the infamous real-life hate-monger Adolf Hitler. The Psycho-Man, a Fantastic Four villain, uses a gadget that can inspire three different emotions in those it's used on — fear, doubt, and (of course) hate. On one occasion, he induced a more conventional hate-plague in New York City by disseminating inflammatory pamplets coated with psychoactive chemicals, with the aid of a new Hate-Monger, an android of his own creation with hate-inducing Psychic Powers and the ability to shapeshift (allowing him to infiltrate and encourage multiple hate groups of different denominations). Marvel Universe vs. the Punisher features Frank Castle attempting to navigate a psuedo-Zombie Apocalypse caused by Survivor 118, a bioweapon that mutates the heroes and villains of the Marvel Universe into violently insane, tribalistic, territorial cannibals. An alternate version of New X-Men: Academy X, set in the House of M universe, deals with Wallflower, a mutant with pheromone powers, causing Sooraya to engulf her best friend Jubilee in a sandstorm that likely would have shredded her body to its bones if given time. A third, non-Hitler Hate-Monger appears in The Punisher as the leader of a racist organization. Frank Castle infiltrates the group but discovers that his final initiation is to beat a Hispanic reporter investigating the group to death. Unfortunately, by then he's succumbed to the Hate-Monger's Hate Plague, and he goes through with it. Doubly unfortunately, she's the girlfriend of Frank's current tech guy. Needless to say, there is a falling-out and a rare bout of guilt for Frank. The Spider-Man storyline Maximum Carnage has Carnage's partner Shriek increase the hatred in everyone in New York to start mass riots throughout the city. |

The Powerpuff Girls (1998) has the episode "Tough Love", in which HIM replaces everyone's love for the girls with hate, causing them to turn against the girls — even the narrator is affected. It really hits when the girls go to see the Professor; imagine all the love that a parent has for their children magically swapped with hate. | |

Monster Hunter 4: The Gore Magala is an Elder Dragon-like monster that spreads a special substance called the Frenzy Virus to sense its surroundings. This substance also has the debilitating side-effect of turning monsters who breathe it in into Frenzied specimens, who are in constant pain, extremely aggressive, can infect other monsters, and gain greater power. Then, as shown in the expansion 4 Ultimate, those who survive turn into Apex monsters, Typhoid Mary carriers of the Frenzy who can deflect almost any attack without the aid of a Wystone and are even more powerful than Frenzied monsters. It isn't that deadly to humans, though, even providing a temporary attack boost when you shrug it off. The Gore Magala does this so that it can molt into Shagaru Magala, who spreads the same substance to keep any other Gores in the area from molting properly, turning them into Chaotic Gore Magala, and to nip off competition for resources from any other monsters. | |

The X-Files: In "Ice", an extraterrestrial parasite causes an Arctic research team, and later the investigating team, to turn on each other by increasing their paranoia. In "Red Museum", as part of a Government Conspiracy, the children of a town are infected with alien DNA which causes increased violent behaviour. Used for humorous effect in "Syzygy", in which a rare planetary alignment causes strange behavior in a small town, and even Mulder and Scully begin to snipe at each other. |

In the Big Finish Doctor Who War Doctor story A Thing of Guile, the Doctor is part of a Time Lord task force sent to obtain a weapon called the Anima Device, although the Cardinal who sent them isn't entirely sure what it does. The Doctor quickly realises that it's a psychic weapon that causes the task force to become increasingly argumentative. In The Neverwhen, Cardinal Ollistra develops a plan to combine it with the time-bending Neverwhen to not just plunge Skaro into civil war, but to make it so that the Daleks had always been in a state of civil war. The Doctor attempts to reverse the effect to make the Daleks and Time Lords trapped in the Neverwhen effect pacifistic, even stablising the Neverwhen's timeframe to an Arcadian period when Gallifreyans and Kaleds were both farmers, but the imprint of the subjective centuries they'd spent fighting is too much for it. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition: Mind flayers are given magical stones that could potentially have this result in the supplement Lords of Madness. Elder Evils has the Hulks of Zoretha, whose awakening causes the Blood Moon to rise and brings one of these upon the world. Initially, it's just an additional degree of hostility to every interaction, but as it moves on, everything on the planet that is alive and thinking must make a daily Will save or start attacking everyone in sight until someone dies. Once they're fully awake, those that fall to this wrath will become superhumanly strong, but eventually pass out from sheer exhaustion in trying to kill things. Forgotten Realms: Dracorage is a murderous madness periodically magically induced in dragons worldwide. Designed by ancient elves to break dragons' control over the world, a later magical device was hijacked and used by Sammaster to convince evil dragons that becoming The Undead with his help is their only option to avoid insanity and then ignominious death. |

A milder example in Galaxy of Fear: The Planet Plague. Tash's illness makes her more irritable and impulsive, and gets her to dwell more on thoughts of Revenge — and negative emotions make it progress faster and will speed her transformation. Calming herself and focusing on positive emotions helps with the symptoms but doesn't cure her. | |

The Farscape episode "Crackers Don't Matter" has a highly amusing Hate Plague: light from a nearby star causes several characters to become obsessed with ensuring their fair share of crackers, to the point of barricades and gun battles. Technically, only D'Argo becomes more aggressive while Rygel gets greedier and Aeryn becomes more paranoid, causing the three of them to fight. Chiana instead gets hornier, and Zhaan, being a Plant Alien, has a lot of fun times. Crichton is the only member of the crew who's immune, due to humans having significantly worse eyesight than any of the other species. | |

Stargate SG-1: An early episode subjects the team to subsonic frequencies that make some of them very irritable, resulting in a shouting match and a delightfully awkward non-apology apology afterward. A minor one is caused by withdrawal symptoms from some creepy Goa'uld light in the episode "The Light". Similarly, Daniel's withdrawal from the sarcophagus in "Need" has him almost shooting Jack in one scene. |

Doraemon has a scientific equivalent, a pill that makes anyone who consumes it hated by everyone around them. One story has Nobita try to distance himself from Shizuka after failing his latest exams and realizing he's not worthy of her friendship. Near the end of the story, noticing Shizuka running to see him out of worry after finding out the cause of his depression, Nobita desperately asks Doraemon to give him something that can drive her away, leading to Doraemon bringing out a pack of said pills. Driven by desperation and despair, Nobita takes the whole pack (when Doraemon told him to consume only one). The pills cause Nobita to emit a extremely disgusting stench, driving Doraemon and Nobita's mother away instantly, while Nobita gets paralyzed due to overdosing. Shizuka manages to overcome the stench and saves Nobita by making him throw up those pills. Stand by Me Doraemon adapts this episode, but with the pills replaced with a spray-type potion. | |

Mega Man Star Force Gemini Spark's evil plan in the first game is to attach a virtual plus or minus to each person, invariably attaching the same sign to two friends, lovers, spouses, etc. so that they'd argue with each other. The game never explored the effect of two people with opposite signs... It's pulled again at the end of the second game. The villain gets away with it for a while, too, and this time without the awkward positive/negative questions. The Bonus Dungeon of the same game is a twisted Bad Future in which the villain's plan actually succeeded and humanity was completely wiped out. The result is a rather depressing dungeon where you wander around a world without life or hope, kill insane versions of your allies from the normal timeline, and eventually confront a Superboss whose sole intention is to escape to your world and wreak havoc on it as well. |

Promethean: The Created has Disquiet, an instinctual reaction by all living things towards the titular creatures that makes them gradually desire to destroy them-even if that isn't normally in a person's nature (several times, the book features humans going into jerk-mode towards Prometheans, then wondering exactly why they were doing that a moment later). Is it any wonder that a Prommie's quest To Become Human makes perfect sense? There are three things that don't instinctively hate Prometheans: vampires, werewolves, and Beasts. Instead, vampires and werewolves find Prometheans so unsettling that it actually becomes harder for them to resist their Unstoppable Rage—meaning that they'll quite likely end up killing the Promethean anyway, along with any other allies or innocents that are unfortunate enough to be there at the time. Beasts, on the other hand, are downright immune to Disquiet. | |

In BioShock, the Enrage plasmid causes splicers to go crazy (well, crazier than usual) and attack anyone — you, their fellow splicers, or even Big Daddies. BioShock 2 gives us a potential origin story for the Enrage plasmid and why the splicers in the first game are too angry to come up with any kind of plan against a juggernaut: the ADAM slugs love to eat a deep-sea plant that secretes red chemicals. This could be considered a passive-defensive mechanic, as anyone who consumes the chemicals from the flowers becomes really, really violent, and addicted to the stuff. You find one of Lamb's science staff, Gilbert Alexander, violently insane and addicted to the scent of the flowers in the area. | |

Vitiate, the one-time Sith Emperor in Star Wars: The Old Republic, has a deep, disturbing love affair with this trope — possibly because he can (we think) grow more powerful when people die, especially in painful and shocking ways. He first tested the technique on certain Children of the Emperor, then had one of his disciples attempt to induce the entire population of the planet Voss to kill each other. (Then the Jedi Knight player character killed the Emperor and he had to take a few years off.) Most recently he turned his attention to Ziost — the capital world of his own empire — and systematically took over the population one by one, forcing them to kill each other. It's implied that he could have unleashed the World-Wrecking Wave he uses to simply kill the entire planet much sooner but the wanton, piecemeal slaughter appeals to him. His disciples, the Dread Masters, prefer to inflict, well, dread, but they're perfectly capable of pulling this, too. Unlike the Emperor's variant, they tend to plant hallucinations that cause their enemies to become paranoid and turn on each other. | |

In Star Trek: Prodigy, the Living Construct is basically this trope meant for Starfleet. After the Vau N'Akat civil war, caused by First Contact with a Starfleet vessel, the survivors got their hands on the USS Protostar and intended to send it back in time to turn Starfleet ships against one another, thus preventing first contact and averting the civil war. In the season 1 finale, they succeed in unleashing the weapon, causing untold destruction, which is only stopped when the crew of the Protostar manage to destroy the Construct by scuttling the ship. | |

The One Ring in The Lord of the Rings has this as its natural side-effect, turning people against one another by playing on their lust to use its power. The One Ring is so purely evil and so powerful in its corrupting influence that it can twist even the noblest desires into arrogance and narcissism and gradually makes the Wearer feel more and more entitled to it and greater than all the others which is the first step towards isolating him. And any ambitious desire will do perfectly. Faramir eg who proved resistant(in the original text, anyway) just wanted to live his life, and if he happened to be some sort of hero it would only be because he had to. Boromir wanted to be a big famous hero, cast down Mordor, restore Gondor and Arnor to their former glory. Certainly not a bad ambition, but the Ring can latch on to that to start its Hate Plague after taking hold, which it does to him since he shows hints of being tempted during the council scene, immediately upon being faced with the ring. Nothing demonstrates it better than its primary victim: Gollum and the flashback to Deágol and Sméagol finding the Ring while fishing. Within minutes Sméagol (Gollum) has killed his relative in order to possess the Ring. When it all comes down to it Sam proved to be the most resistant when he used it to rescue Frodo, since he had no desire for power whatsoever, while one reason that Faramir escaped the Ring's lures was he was smart enough to avoid ever even seeing it, telling Frodo to not even show it to him. Boromir wasn't so smart. | |

The Fog (1975) is about the eponymous mist, a bioweapon that turns half of England insane and depraved in a manner very reminiscent of The Crazies (1973). | |

Happens in two episodes of Class of the Titans. The first time was in the Valentine's Day Episode "Bows and Eros", where Cronus mind-controls Eros (Cupid) to spread hate on Valentine's Day instead of love. The second time was in "Applet of Discord", where Eris the goddess of strife spreads strife with a ringtone that encourages fighting. Both times, they break up the seven heroes for a time until they realize whats up. | |

Grounded for All Eternity: Parris' influence has this effect on the residents of Salem. While it initially only manifests as mere losses of inhibitions, as he gains power, he begins to more overtly take control of the townsfolk and turn them into an Ax-Crazy mob out to kill the heroes. | |

Kamen Rider: Kamen Rider Fourze: A variation of this is the Capricorn Zodiart's special ability, triggered by his music. Those affected by it go berserk, but not necessarily in a violent manner: some of the protagonists affected by it are compelled to perform an outlandish rock song of their own. The music also doesn't grant any additional energy or protection from an adrenaline crash, so the infected collapse from exhaustion within about a day. Kamen Rider Build: The activation of the Pandora Box at the start of the series infected everyone present at the event, including most of Japan's leadership, with an energy that made them aggressive and power-hungry, including gaining an obsessive need to possess the Box. Nebula Gas, the Applied Phlebotinum released as a consequence of the Box's activation, also has this effect when injected at high enough volumes into humans who haven't built up a sufficient tolerance for it. |

In The Day the Cheering Stopped, King Kosmos brainwashes Earth's people into fearing and hating aliens, even heroes like Superman or Supergirl. |

The Wheel of Time: The dagger from Shadar Logoth is so tainted with evil that his carrier becomes paranoid and hateful, and then starts to infect other people. Padan Fain, a recurring villain partially possessed by the spirit who created Shadar Logoth, also has this effect — people who spend too much time in his company become increasingly paranoid, ill-tempered, and generally corrupt. When he gets the dagger back (another character carries it for a good chunk of the early books) his powers are increased dramatically. |

In The Tommyknockers, a crashed spaceship begins to affect the area around it, causing the inhabitants of the nearby town of Haven to start changing, mentally and physically, into aliens like the spaceship's inhabitants, the "Tommyknockers". Tommyknockers have incredible technical skills, but also quick tempers and no common sense. Anyone who crosses a Tommyknocker, even in the smallest of ways (say, stealing pennies by cheating at poker), invites harsh punishment (like being sent to a distant, nearly airless planet). | |

The song of Ginseigo from Full Metal Daemon Muramasa is one of the reasons to why she is so dangerous. Wherever she goes, the song is heard. And whoever hears the song is reduced to a feral state that seeks only bloodshed. By the end of the story, things get even worse as she gets powered up from fusing with Konjin, the God of Metal, which now allows the song to be spread globally, leading to wars and slaughter all around the world. And the sad part is that the song was originally meant to be a tool for peace, to spread the ideal of the Law of Balance, to teach humanity the folly of murder and war. However, needless to say, things went horribly, horribly wrong. | |

The Fury: This is essentially what the Fury is. The presence of the main characters triggers an immediate violent reaction in any other person within a twenty-meter boundary — people in their lives, even their loved ones, suddenly attempt to kill them, and then go back to their normal lives as if nothing happened. This is due to the fact that they are all hosts to angels, and humans are unable to overcome the compulsion to purge the Eldritch Abominations within them. | |

Star Trek: The Original Series: In "This Side of Paradise", an anger-inducing sonic broadcast is used to counteract the effects of tranquility-inducing spores. In "Day of the Dove", an Energy Being that feeds on hate brings the Federation and the Klingons, who are trying to abide by the peace treaty, into conflict. It goes as far as implanting False Memories so that the manipulated will have an extra source of conflict. An interesting part of this trope in Star Trek is that those who are killed are somehow brought back to life with their fatal wounds healed to fight again. Once they all figure it out the creature is repelled from the ship by laughter. Lots and lots of laughter. In "The Tholian Web", a Negative Space Wedgie drove the crew of one starship to kill each other, and then begins to drive the Enterprise crew to outbursts of anger. |

Command & Conquer: Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars: In Kane's Wrath, the Brotherhood of Nod's Humongous Mecha the Redeemer can cause enemy units to go into a rage; attacking anything within sight (including their allies), but only after they finish off their current target first. Black Hand Confessors can throw hallucinogenic grenades, which cause any infantry caught in their area of effect (including friendlies) to attack their own allies. Unfortunately, it doesn't affect vehicles. Similarly, in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 — Yuri's Revenge, Yuri's faction has the Chaos Drone, which emits a psychedelic gas with a similar effect — or to be more exact, the gas causes units affected by it to prioritize targeting friendlies over targeting foes, with an extra helping of doubled rate of fire. |

Yubel uses this in duels to great effect in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. While she's on the field as a monster, she can force monsters to attack her; she takes no battle damage, and inflicts the same damage to her opponent in retribution. She calls this effect "Nightmare Pain." Shortly after Yubel reveals herself in Season 3, Judai's closest friends are also infected with a Hate Plague against him, which was quite effective in bringing out his Superpowered Evil Side, especially when followed by their apparent deaths. | |

The Elder Scrolls: The series has long included the Status Effect "Frenzy", which can be achieved by spells in the Illusion school. This effect causes the target to attack anything in sight, including members of his own faction. The results are even better when the spell has a large area of effect, enabling you to turn entire groups against each other. By Skyrim, there is a version of the spell powerful to an affect an entire town, causing them to turn on each other. |

The DCU: Batman: Jekyll and Hyde has a Psycho Serum that is described as unifying the conflicting halves of a person's identity. Apparently, everyone secretly wants to murder, torture, and/or cannibalize the nearest primate. Huh. Blackest Night: The Psycho-Pirate induces this in Smallville, heightening minor feelings to killing urges via his mask's ability to influence any nearby target to near-suicidal hatred, uncontrollable fear or demented avarice. JLA (1997): In the grand finale of Grant Morrison's run, this turns out to be the nature of Mageddon: a hate plague on a global scale that eventually causes all sentient life on a given planet to wipe itself out. Justice League (2018): In "Cold War", the influence of The Spectre results in every rivalry on Earth, from soccer fans to siblings to UN ambassadors, blowing up into violence. Legends has Glorious Goodfrey use his powers of persuasion to manipulate the average citizens of the DC Universe to fear and hate the world's superheroes. Suicide Squad: This is one of the powers of Badb, one of the later members of the terrorist-for-hire group the Jihad. She possesses powerful telepathy, and is able to mentally dominate others by manipulating their emotions and fears. She can read the minds of others to project fearful or hateful imagery into their minds, and force them to harm themselves or others. And she revels in the chaos she causes. In The Rebirth, the Black Vault causes everyone in its proximity to become insane and homicidal... Except for Harley Quinn. As she's homicidally insane under normal circumstances, the Black Vault instead causes her to become calm and rational. Superman: In the Action Comics story "Luthor's Hammer of Hate", Lex Luthor realizes that his hatred of Superman is getting in the way of his schemes, so he uses Percussive Therapy to transfer his rage to the eponymous hammer, which he then fires at Superman, causing the latter to become enraged at the mere thought of Luthor. In The Day the Cheering Stopped, King Kosmos brainwashes Earth's people into fearing and hating aliens, even heroes like Superman or Supergirl. In the first Titans series, the Gargoyle slowly began to spread his influence on the Fab Five to the point that Nightwing sealed himself off in a cave because he was sick of being compared to Batman. After being trapped in a Lotus-Eater Machine dimension and reverted to their teenage forms, they assumed apologizing would get them out, until Roy Harper realized they were going in circles and admitted that real friendship is about being honest with your friends when they're acting like assholes and glorifying everything your friend does is not helping. Roy got the point across by punching Nightwing in the face, who seemed to be the focus point due to the Gargoyle's immense hatred of him. Wonder Woman: Ares tends to incite rage in order to start wars and skirmishes. Wonder Woman (1942): Mars' lieutenants are sent to earth specifically to spread hate, mistrust and an inclanation towards violence among men in their spectral forms. Wonder Woman (1987): Eris has a whole bushel of Apples of Discord served at a political dinner on Themyscira which don't function as an Artifact of Attraction like in the original myths instead spreading a blind hate and distrust among those who eat them. Wonder Woman (2006): The villainess Genocide has powerful energy blasts. Anyone lucky enough to survive the explosion gets consumed by rage and paranoia. |

Many illnesses, such as rabies or brain tumors, often result in mood swings and sometimes increased aggressiveness. Rabies is a real life Rage Plague, as it causes an aggressive, feral mentality in order to spread itself, through biting, and also causes the host to avoid basic survival instincts, in this case, drinking water, which leads to eventual death. Compare with the Rage Virus of 28 Days Later and the occasional side effects of G-23 Paxilon in Serenity. | |

Futurama: As a satire of the COVID-19 Pandemic, "Rage Against the Vaccine" has a mutant virus called "Explovid-23" sweep across Earth, with the main symptoms being a mild cough and explosive anger. Since everybody on Earth is so busy fighting each other over minor provocations, the Omicrons seize the opportunity to invade... only to become sick and disagreeable as well. | |

In one of the first and best-known episodes of Ultraseven, the alien Metron laces cigarettes with an extraterrestrial crystal that causes humans to go berserk after smoking them in his scheme to take over Earth. This was later homaged in Ultraman Max when he comes back to do it again with cellphones. | |

In Apollo 13, the astronauts getting increasingly snappish with each other is discovered to be induced from the high carbon dioxide levels in their cabin. They then have to work together to prevent the CO2 from getting any higher. (Doesn't count as a Real Life example, because the real astronauts confirmed the arguments were made up by the film for Rule of Drama.) | |

In an episode of Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, some squishy, triangular parasites possess the heroes by latching onto the back of their necks and manipulating the synapses between their host's primary emotions and impulsive, spontaneous action decisions.

One of Omega's powers in Mega Man Zero is his ability to turn normally sane reploids into murderous psychopaths. This power combined with his bloodthirsty desire to kill is ultimately what caused the deaths of 90% of reploids and 60% of humans in the Elf Wars. Not surprising, considering that it's the Maverick Virus from Mega Man X taken to its logical conclusion. | |

Lucifer (2016): Azrael's blade becomes this in the hands of a mortal. It stokes the human's anger into murderous rage over the slightest of grievances. Dan Espinoza is the only person who proves able to resist the blade's effect. He briefly holds the blade to Lucifer's throat over the latter stealing his pudding cups but eventually admits that the real problems in his life are things he brought on himself. The realisation allows him to drop the blade without hurting anyone. | |

Final Fantasy: The "Mist" in Final Fantasy IX causes this effect on the entire world. It's mild and most people have moved to places where the Mist doesn't lie, but it's nonetheless lead to increased wars over history, which is actually part of the Big Bad's plans. In Final Fantasy X-2, the Den of Woe consists of a large cluster of pyreflies that were infected by Shuyin's spirit and corrupted with his hatred. They will possess anyone who goes near them and cause them to slaughter everyone in sight. They wind up possessing Yuna, Rikku, and Paine late in the game, but Yuna is able to eventually fight off the possession and free both Rikku and Paine. |

Magic: The Gathering: Red is the color of passions and emotions, which while it does have its positive sides like creativity and love it also includes hatred and warfare, which is what ends up being portrayed the most in cards (it is a battle game, after all). Canonically, the Nobilis of War induces this to feed itself, which is why Shadowmoor will never know peace. The red creature card Keldon Warlord's toughness and power are equal to the total number of creatures in play. In the lore books this is explained as the Warlord having the supernatural ability to induce a battle rage just by commanding people to fight. It’s so powerful even mothers slay their newborn children with their bare hands. The Cult of Rakdos from the plane of Ravnica has this effect on those who visit their establishments; whether they be carnivals, theaters, or restaurants. Most of the cult is full of sado-masochistic serial killers who have no problem tearing each other apart, but it does tend to get worse when the higher ranking demons of the cult can drive regular citizens to participate in the bloodlust. |

Courage the Cowardly Dog: In "Curtain of Cruelty", Courage faces a literal sweeping Hate Plague called the "Cruelty Curtain". This energy barrier causes anyone it touches to become ridiculously rude to the point that benevolence is considered a crime. Courage manages to re-wire the Curtain so that it turns people nice — even its evil creator, who is later elected mayor. Eustace is nasty enough that he isn't affected, and when the effect is inverted, he's still a big jerk. A variation occurs in the two-parter "The Tower of Dr. Zolost". The titular doctor develops bombs that, when fired, cause anyone they hit to turn green and become deeply unhappy ("depressed" might be a better term, as they lose all motivation to do anything and simply slump to the ground, unmoving). Thankfully, Muriel's "Happy Plum" recipe proves an excellent cure. |

Serenity: The Reavers (murdering, raping madmen who terrorize the fringes of Firefly's 'Verse) are revealed to be the victims of a government-sponsored mind-drug experiment on an entire planet's population Gone Horribly Wrong. The Pax, as the drug was called, was meant to weed out aggression in the population. Instead, it made the majority of the population so passive that they couldn't even be bothered to take basic measures to continue living, while it became a Hate Plague for a fraction of a percent of the population. They proceeded to wipe out whoever was left, and then start recruiting. | |

Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition: Mind flayers are given magical stones that could potentially have this result in the supplement Lords of Madness. Elder Evils has the Hulks of Zoretha, whose awakening causes the Blood Moon to rise and brings one of these upon the world. Initially, it's just an additional degree of hostility to every interaction, but as it moves on, everything on the planet that is alive and thinking must make a daily Will save or start attacking everyone in sight until someone dies. Once they're fully awake, those that fall to this wrath will become superhumanly strong, but eventually pass out from sheer exhaustion in trying to kill things. |

Ultraman Tiga have one of its Monster of the Week, Enomena, who is capable of generating high-energy electromagnetic pulses which can drive people insane and into serious violent tendencies. Naturally Enomena uses this attack to cause riots across the city as diversion, while it attempts stalk and hunt its prey, a harmless alien child called Deban. |

This is the main shtick of the Captain America villain named the Hate-Monger, whose original M.O. is spreading bigotry and aggression with his "hate-ray", usually directing people's hatred towards minorities.

Anyone who wears one ends up becoming extremely homicidal, killing in order to reach different "folds" of infinity for no real reason than to keep killingnote although Arnold Shpitz’s One-Winged Angel from implies there’s genuine abilities one gains from the Franchise.

Multiple monsters in Super Sentai possess the ability to sever bonds of friendship and/or love. Most of them are based on, or use sharp bladed objects to metaphorically cut these bonds. Naturally, destroying the monster instantly repairs all the damage it caused. Both Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger and Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger had a scissor based Monster of the Week, who could sever bonds of friendship by cutting them with their scissors. Mahou Sentai Magiranger had a Samurai based Monster of the Week possessing a sword that could, according to him, cut through anything. This included the bond of family the rangers had, causing them to severely dislike each other. Towards the end of Ninja Sentai Kakuranger, it turns out that Big Bad Daimaoh, the leader of the Youkai, is the physical embodiment of human hatred, and if the Kakurangers were to kill him, he would turn into this, making him more dangerous dead than alive. |

She can read the minds of others to project fearful or hateful imagery into their minds, and force them to harm themselves or others. And she revels in the chaos she causes. In The Rebirth, the Black Vault causes everyone in its proximity to become insane and homicidal... Except for Harley Quinn. As she's homicidally insane under normal circumstances, the Black Vault instead causes her to become calm and rational. |

The Ghostbusters discover it while it's been negatively charged, and after they end up covered in it, they briefly end up going at each other's throats. Egon discovers the malleable nature of the slime, however, and in order to break through a barrier of negatively charged slime, the Ghostbusters positively charge some of it through a combination of the song "Higher and Higher", and the most inspiring thing they can find in Manhattan: the Statue of Liberty. | |

The nation of Alderode in Unsounded possesses an unusual version in the Etalarche curse, reserved against heinous traitors as the greatest possible punishment it can inflict, and even then the ethical concerns are such that it took ten years of debate to authorize its most recent usage. It permanently alters the minds of everyone connected to the Dammakhert — almost the entire country, man, woman, and child — to make them hate the cursed one with single-minded, murderous intensity, regardless of any relationship they used to have. It's named after Ssaelism's Judas analogue, Etalarche, who was hunted down and ripped to pieces by the followers of Ssael after betraying him to his death, and those targeted by his curse usually suffer the same fate. | |

Frank Castle infiltrates the group but discovers that his final initiation is to beat a Hispanic reporter investigating the group to death. Unfortunately, by then he's succumbed to the Hate-Monger's Hate Plague, and he goes through with it. Doubly unfortunately, she's the girlfriend of Frank's current tech guy. Needless to say, there is a falling-out and a rare bout of guilt for Frank. | |

It's revealed in God of War III that this is the reason why the Olympians suddenly Took a Level in Jerkass after the first game. When Kratos opened Pandora's box in order to gain its power to defeat Ares, he accidently released the evils sealed inside it, allowing them to possess and consume Zeus and his fellow Olympians and turning them into paranoid, hateful and cruel tyrants. | |

Judge Dredd: East Meg One used a literal Rage Virus as a precursor to invading Mega City One. Later, the remnants of East Meg One (which was mostly wiped out after the aforementioned invasion attempt) had another go with the Chaos Plague, which also caused eventual death. This one worked slightly better, relatively speaking, killing about 350 million in the end. |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: In "The Return of Harmony", Discord inflicts most of the main characters with the opposite emotions from their respective Elements of Harmony. The honest Applejack becomes a chronic and impulsive Bad Liar, the merry Pinkie Pie becomes deadly serious and repeatedly grouchy, the generous Rarity becomes self-absorbed, the kind Fluttershy becomes a total Jerkass, and the loyal Rainbow Dash deserts her friends. Eventually Twilight Sparkle became affected, no longer caring about friendship. This lasts until Princess Celestia sends back Twilight's friendship reports, which breaks Twilight's corruption and reunite her friends. In the episode "All Bottled Up", Starlight, who was angry at Trixie for using a spell that teleported the Cutie Map to who knows where and acting like she doesn't care that it could get them both in trouble with Twilight, uses a spell that bottles up all of her anger in a jar. But then the jar breaks, and all the anger infects Bulk Biceps, Granny Smith, and a pony who works at the jewelry store, who all go after Trixie and start yelling at her about all the stuff she did to make Starlight mad. |

Doctor Who: In "The Awakening", a sentient alien WMD that is both the cause of and empowered by Hate Plagues is awakened in a British village. In "Midnight", the Monster of the Week manipulates a group of ordinary humans into coming within a hair's breadth of killing the Doctor by amplifying their fear, suspicion, and irritation with his ego into a willingness to commit murder. One of the many unanswered questions from the episode is whether the creature is telepathically manipulating them or whether it's able to do it through mundane psychological methods. It clearly has psychic powers of some kind, given its ability to steal people's words, but at the point of its near victory, it hasn't provoked any reaction from the bus passengers that couldn't be achieved simply by playing on the escalating mob mentality. In ''The Giggle", the Toymaker uses a puppet called Stooky Bill, whose image and Signature Laugh (the eponymous Giggle) has been burned into every television, screen, and monitor by 2023, to induce a plague upon humanity where they always believe they're right and become borderline psychopathic in the face of literally any confrontation. This plague doesn't force humanity into madness, however, only makes them refuse to back down from what they believe in regardless of logic, rationality, or even their own safety. The Doctor gives humans quite the speech about this halfway through the episode. |

The Biker Mice from Mars episode "Test of Friendship" featured a villain named Evil Eye Weevil, who was able to fire a hostility ray from his eye, which made people become temporarily angry and aggressive. The hostility ray was used on the Biker Mice, which caused them to split up after getting into a fight so that it would be easier for the main antagonist Lawrence Limburger to defeat them. Thanks to the hostility ray's temporary nature, however, the Biker Mice manage to patch things up and foil Limburger's schemes as usual. | |

In the lore of the Diablo franchise, the demon Vidian is said to be able to manipulate whole armies into destroying themselves through infighting, and make even the most loyal soldier question their superior's orders, thanks to his mastery of the sin of Envy. Fortunately for the angels, his dislike of following orders meant he was rarely deployed against them during the Eternal Conflict, and fortunately for the player, the powers he uses don't reflect the stories about him when he's fought as a boss in Diablo III. | |

In the first Titans series, the Gargoyle slowly began to spread his influence on the Fab Five to the point that Nightwing sealed himself off in a cave because he was sick of being compared to Batman. After being trapped in a Lotus-Eater Machine dimension and reverted to their teenage forms, they assumed apologizing would get them out, until Roy Harper realized they were going in circles and admitted that real friendship is about being honest with your friends when they're acting like assholes and glorifying everything your friend does is not helping. Roy got the point across by punching Nightwing in the face, who seemed to be the focus point due to the Gargoyle's immense hatred of him. | |

The Omnitrix Hero: In the chapter "Love Lost" this is the main plot of Devious and Chrysalis. Using a combination of Devious' magic and some science chemicals, he and Chrysalis create an "anti-love potion" that turns whoever is affected by it against the one they love the most and disperse it throughout Canterlot with some aerial dispersal devices from Chrysalis' company. This causes everyone in the city to suddenly feel intense hatred for whoever it is they love the most, whether it is a romantic partner, a best friend, a family member, or a special pet. However, their feelings towards everyone else remain unchanged, allowing Twilight to create a cure after examining the magic powder the potion dispersed as. Since everyone effected by this potion only turns against one specific person, this ends up revealing Flash and Adagio don't consider each other the most important person in each other's lives, nor does Twilight consider Timber this, which leads to both couples breaking up, albeit the former on much better terms than the latter. | |

In Dead Space, this is the usual effect that Markers have on humans: they drive humans violently insane through hallucinations and induced paranoia. All the better to cause humans to slaughter each other and gain dead bodies which can then become Necromorphs. Certain smarter humans can resist the effects to some degree (with a very rare few completely immune to them), but the Markers can instead manipulate these individuals into performing other useful tasks for them. | |

The 4400: In "Lockdown", T.J. Kim, who disappeared in 1998, has the ability to drive men into a homicidal rage with a high-pitched frequency. During her quarterly checkup at the Seattle NTAC headquarters, she uses her ability on all of the men in the building. They immediately begin fighting each other over trivial matters, resulting in Nina Jarvis being shot by Agent Park and several people being killed before Marco manages to find the frequency that counteracts its effects. In "The New World", having gone off the promicin inhibitor, T.J. has learned to focus her ability and uses it to induce Dennis Ryland's lawyer to stab him with a letter opener multiple times during a congressional hearing. |

In Kirby Star Allies, one is caused when the Jamba Heart shatters, its pieces raining down on Dream Land and causing everyone they touch to behave incredibly aggressively (including Dedede and Meta Knight). Luckily, Kirby is hit with a pink heart instead, giving him the power to cure others of the pieces' effects. | |

Once Upon a Time: During the Frozen (2013) arc, the Snow Queen's "Spell of Shattered Sight" is evidently meant to function in this manner. In a flashback scene set in Arendelle, it's proven to be powerful enough to briefly turn Anna against her sister Elsa. | |

In Jacob's Ladder, Jacob learns that his unit in Vietnam was secretly drugged with "The Ladder", a powerful hallucinogen which massively increases aggression, which caused several soldiers to turn on each other in a homicidal frenzy. Upon learning this, Jacob is hit by The Reveal that he wasn't stabbed in the belly by a Vietnamese, but by a fellow crazed-out soldier. | |

In R.O.D the TV, one villain uses two kinds of sounds to protect his base as the heroines try to infiltrate it, both of them out of the range of normal hearing: one is a subsonic hum that enhances depression and melancholy in people who are already disposed to it, and the other is a supersonic hum that makes more excitable people angrier and more irritable. | |

The Secret Return of Alex Mack: One of the more horrifying weapons developed by the Collective is a prion disease that spreads through the water supply, causing infected people and animals to become obsessive, ultra-paranoid killers — without losing all reasoning ability, which makes them extremely dangerous. Such as the lady who greets some FBI agents investigating the disease, tells them that she has cookies in the oven, "can't keep 'em waitin'", then pulls a gun out of the oven and shoots the agents. While continuing to repeat, "Can't keep 'em waitin'." | |

Black Friday: The Tickle-Me-Wiggly Dolls bring out the worst in everybody, leading to several arguments, and physical altercations that quickly escalate into a nasty Retail Riot. This is at first assumed to be because they're the hot ticket Christmas item everyone wants, and there's a very limited supply. But then Lex hears it talking to her... It turns out Wiggly is an Adorable Abomination who preys on the greed, insecurity, and desperation of average people, and convinces them (either subtly or directly) that they need this toy, and if they just buy one, all their problems will be solved. For example, Lex is compelled to steal and sell one online to get money so she and her sister can run away from home. Tom is absolutely convinced his son wants one for Christmas, and will do anything to get it — even though, as it's later revealed, his son doesn't even care about the toys. In fact, none of the children do; the mind control only works on adults, which Lex theorizes is because "adults have more holes." Once Wiggly has a hold on someone, however, logic and compassion will go out the window in pursuit of getting a doll, with many of them being perfectly willing to kill to get one. | |

The Psycho-Man, a Fantastic Four villain, uses a gadget that can inspire three different emotions in those it's used on — fear, doubt, and (of course) hate. On one occasion, he induced a more conventional hate-plague in New York City by disseminating inflammatory pamplets coated with psychoactive chemicals, with the aid of a new Hate-Monger, an android of his own creation with hate-inducing Psychic Powers and the ability to shapeshift (allowing him to infiltrate and encourage multiple hate groups of different denominations). | |

Mega Man The entire Mega Man X series started because of Zero's body spreading a computer virus that caused robots to turn Maverick. This is the main goal of Dr. Regal in Mega Man Battle Network 5: Team Colonel and Team ProtoMan: Combine the Soul Net (unifying all hearts) with the power of the Dark Chip (makes people evil). We see a little bit of the effects during the cutscene before the Final Boss. Mega Man Star Force Gemini Spark's evil plan in the first game is to attach a virtual plus or minus to each person, invariably attaching the same sign to two friends, lovers, spouses, etc. so that they'd argue with each other. The game never explored the effect of two people with opposite signs... It's pulled again at the end of the second game. The villain gets away with it for a while, too, and this time without the awkward positive/negative questions. The Bonus Dungeon of the same game is a twisted Bad Future in which the villain's plan actually succeeded and humanity was completely wiped out. The result is a rather depressing dungeon where you wander around a world without life or hope, kill insane versions of your allies from the normal timeline, and eventually confront a Superboss whose sole intention is to escape to your world and wreak havoc on it as well. One of Omega's powers in Mega Man Zero is his ability to turn normally sane reploids into murderous psychopaths. This power combined with his bloodthirsty desire to kill is ultimately what caused the deaths of 90% of reploids and 60% of humans in the Elf Wars. Not surprising, considering that it's the Maverick Virus from Mega Man X taken to its logical conclusion. |

In Kim, the Old Soldier who accompanies Kim and the Lama to the Grand Trunk Road claimed the Indian Rebellion of 1857 was this. According to him, the gods sent a curse that drove his countrymen to violence against their British overlords. And that though he at first sympathized with them, he lost that sympathy when they started killing the women and children, and went on to fight in its suppression, even if that meant killing his own brethren. | |

One episode of Night Visions has an odd variation; a timid man is cursed by an angry Russian (for bumping into him and spilling his coffee!) to uncontrollably inspire homicidal hatred in others. This gets him fired, assaulted, forced to kill his girlfriend in self-defense, and shot dead by the police. It turns out that some novelist's book came to life and picked this poor chap as a victim. Yeah, Night Visions is weird. | |

Charmed (1998): One episode gets as "realistic" as you can with this trope. A demon is killing Sandmen to collect their magical sand; as the Sandmen's numbers dwindle, they're unable to spread positive dreams throughout San Francisco. As time passes, the citizens become angry and short-tempered with one another, and one of the surviving Sandmen explains that humans need to dream to work out their problems and aggression subconsciously; if the demon succeeds in wiping out his kind, humanity will destroy itself in unchecked rage. A more concentrated example happens in "Sin Francisco", which focuses on the Seven Deadly Sins in the form of seven small crystal orbs. The person infected with the Wrath orb becomes violent and uncontrollable. |

Rimworld: A few of the Psycasts in the Royalty expansion take this form, inducing an instant Berserk mental break on the afflicted, causing them to immediately attack the closest available individual. Berserk for singular targets, Berserk Pulse if you want a small crowd affected, and if you really, really want to turn the entire map into the church brawl from Kingsman: The Secret Service to the point you don't mind a three-hour windup and a three-day cooldown coma (and the echoes pissing off everyone in the world very slightly), there's Neuroquake. On a more mundane level, there's also the "manhunter pack" events, in which a number of animals (often ordinarily non-aggressive ones like alpacas or cows) will spawn in and start attacking any human on the map. From v1.1 onwards this is explicitly a result of a literal plague, a rabies-like disease called scaria that also has a chance to make the animal's flesh inedible, represented as instantly going from alive to "rotting". This last part was added as an explicit Nerf so that a pack of manhunting chinchillas or whatever was no longer an easy source of free meat. | |

They can also affect Players, though the effect is incoherent hatred and hostility while the Plague Noise is dwelling within their minds.

Left 4 Dead doesn't actually feature the undead, but rather "infected" humans, in the vein of 28 Days Later, which the developers cite as an inspiration.

Star Trek: The Next Generation also dealt with this a couple of times. In "Sarek", where it was caused by an aging Vulcan telepathically "leaking" his suppressed emotions into the minds of the crew. Said aged Vulcan is Spock's father, and he has, basically, Vulcan Alzheimer's Disease. Picard puts his mind at risk by letting him "absorb" some of his willpower because if anyone finds out, the treaty he has been working on for years, if not decades could be at risk. By the by, the effects on Picard really gave his actor, Patrick Stewart, a chance to shine. "Night Terrors" sees the Enterprise trapped in a Negative Space Wedgie that drains power away from the ship's reactor and leaves them stranded, and the crew begins to experience increased irritability, paranoia and eventually hallucinations. It turns out that the crew of another ship trapped in the same way is trying to contact them telepathically to propose a means of escape, but their method is preventing most of the crew from entering REM sleep; the Hate Plague in this case is simple sleep-deprivation. Despite the relatively mundane explanation, this episode has some of the most genuinely creepy moments in the series. |
