The Kid with the Remote Control, but with a twist: the controlled partner or servant is pragmatic at best, and a raving loon at worst. The loyalty of the servant varies, but the typical example is essentially a portable version of Sealed Evil in a Can — though a very loyal one can be even creepier. The servant openly admits his opinion that the best way to deal with obstacles and enemies is through complete annihilation. The kid (who is usually younger) is the moral compass who has to keep it under control (with a little help from the Restraining Bolt), and more importantly not fall victim to temptation. Naturally, this works both ways, where the monster learns empathy and grudgingly accepts his master might not be so bad, while the handler learns not all things are as black and white as they think. This is one of two things that can result from trying to control Sealed Evil in a Can. For the other, more cynical outcome, see Evil Is Not a Toy. Compare Guardian Entity and Morality Chain, when the restraining is more emotional. Also, see Villain Holds the Leash. |

Sam Vimes spends most of Thud! fighting off, and eventually besting, a quasi-demonic entity called the Summoning Dark which begins as a Dwarfen concept of vengeance and retribution for crimes committed. Once Sam masters it, in the suceeding novel Snuff, it becomes not a spirit of pitiless destructive vengeance, but, in its way, a supernatural policeman who actually investigates crimes for Vimes - but after providing evidence, it leaves justice and punishment to others. | |

Worm: Kevin Norton is an old British hobo who calls himself "The Most Powerful Man in the World". Most assume he's just crazy, but there is a reason behind his words: Scion, the most powerful superhero in existence, listens to him and does what he says. He doesn't know why, but for whatever reason Scion occasionally visits him, and when Kevin tells him he should do something, he does it. Tattletale figures out how to direct the Endbringers. |

In Terminator 2: Judgment Day, John Connor discovers early on in the film that he has complete verbal control over the Terminator cyborg played by Schwarzenegger. Of course, he also learns he has to word his instructions carefully — an instruction to not kill anyone leads to a guard getting shot in the leg, with the explanation, "He'll live." | |

Leviathan: The Tempest: Deconstructed with Atolls, who effectively have the ability to enthrall Leviathans much as Leviathans enthrall ordinary humans. A few words from an Atoll can permanently add dots to a Leviathan's Karma Meter … or take them away. The book makes it very clear that these relationships tend to be incredibly dysfunctional on both sides. | |

A mild version in the Honor Harrington series. Sphinxian Treecats believe that there are only two kinds of enemies: Those who are dead, and those who are not yet dealt with. This is due to a combination of the unforgiving deadliness of many predators on Sphinx (including the Treecats themselves), and the fact that the Treecat trait of Telepathy means that there's no point to being subversive or subtle in Treecat society: They all know what you're thinking anyways. It's a mild example because, while that's a rule in Treecat society, they understand that such a mindset is not shared by most Humans and behave themselves while amongst them. | |

The premise of Danny the Dog (known as Unleashed in some countries) is a variation in which a gangster has raised a man as a dog — a dog with deadly martial arts skills — who, when he has his collar removed, serves his master's whims rather than his own, mainly debt collection and pit fighting. Guess what happens... | |

Blue Beetle: Jaime Reyes with the scarab. Much of the dialogue between the two consist of Jaime rejecting its suggestions to kill somebody. According to Metron, it shouldn't even have a "non-lethal setting." The DC-Verse being pegged way on the sunny end of the Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism, though, the scarab eventually comes around completely to its partner's way of thinking. Early on in the 2011 reboot things took a downward turn. The scarab is an Ax-Crazy killing machine that barely responds at all to Jaime's wishes. Jaime had to flee his hometown to prevent the Scarab from killing everyone around him. This is still a better deal for Jaime, since the Scarab normally should have taken full control of him. Jaime has recently gained much more control, though the Scarab's Plan A is always to kill. |

Naruto: In a way, the title character embodies this trope, as did Gaara before the events of Part 2. Naruto's "partner" is concerned mainly with protecting himself and therefore Naruto, and only aids him if he is in danger. Besides keeping itself alive, the fox has an ulterior motive to letting Naruto draw on its power: once enough tails are released it starts to regain physical form. And the more often Naruto draws on its power, the easier it becomes for the Kyuubi to influence him. As of chapter 570, Kurama (the fox) is now very willing to help Naruto out, having grown to deeply care for him and possibly believing him to be the reincarnation of the tailed beasts' father figure, The Sage of the Six Paths. | |

RWBY: Played with. While both are dangerous criminals, according to commentary, Neo would actually be more dangerous without Roman. Seems to be proven as, before Roman died, Neo only killed those she was ordered to- currently, she aims to hunt and kill anyone associated with his death. | |

Though not exactly a kid, the SCP Foundation has SCP-1055, a biomass that resembles a teddy bear under normal conditions and will spontaneously and unceasingly grow in size in relation to the number, proximity, and emotional state of people who are aware of it. The only known method of containment involves Mikey, a man with autistic spectrum disorder and Down's syndrome: his condition means he does not properly register as aware of SCP-1055 and he feels genuinely protective of it, thus not triggering its growth. | |

Discworld: There's an odd example with Death and his servant Albert, with Death being the "kid" and Albert the one on the leash. In life, Albert was a malevolent wizard and, when he knew he was going to die, performed — in reverse — a ritual that was supposed to summon Death, on the logic that it would send Death away from him. Instead, it sent him to Death. Albert has "lived" for centuries in Death's Domain and can now only spend a limited time on earth before his remaining minutes of life are used up. While Albert is not a physical threat to Death, he is much more cynical than his master, and in several books evidences a willingness to betray his master and regain his status in life. It helps that Albert is heavily implied to be vastly more powerful than his wizened, chain-smoking form would lead you to believe. Albert and Death are fond of one another in an odd way though. |

PandoraHearts: While Alice likes to pretend otherwise, it ultimately IS Oz who holds the leash. The terms of the contract between the teenage nobleman and the demonic, scythe-wielding 'Bloodstained Black Rabbit' are uncertain at best, but Oz's superb willpower means that he can effectively shut down Alice if she gets out of hand. Or the fact that those powers were his to begin with, and Alice was just a vessel for said powers. | |

Inuyasha, initially; in early episodes Kagome made Inu-Yasha behave himself with the help of a magic necklace that slammed him to the ground when she said the command word (osuwari, or "Sit"). She never actually stops doing this, but in later episodes, it's usually provoked more by romantic-comedy wackiness than actually restraining him from violence... except in regards to his Superpowered Evil Side. | |

In the Ravnica Cycle novel Dissension, the young Myczil savod Zunich ends up with a Psychic Link to Rakdos the Defiler due to an Imperfect Ritual. This gives Myc a measure of control over the demon's actions. Rakdos isn't happy about this in the slightest, as he wants to go on a bloody rampage and doesn't like that the small child in his head is giving his prey a chance to run away, and he warns Myc that he will destroy him as soon as he can figure out how to do so without potentially harming himself. Sure enough, Rakdos immediately tries to kill Myc once their link is broken, though he is interrupted before he can do so. | |

The protagonist of Soul Nomad & the World Eaters, who keeps Omnicidal Sociopathic Hero Gig on a very short leash by having imprisoned Gig's soul inside his/her own body and extracting minuscule amounts of godly power from Gig as a form of lease for having him stay there. Gig, on his side, finds the protagonist repellently noble and constantly tries to goad the protagonist into doing acts of evil or tempting him into accepting more of his powers, which will grant Gig more control over the protagonist's body. An interesting subversion can happen during a New Game Plus, where the protagonist has the option of becoming enamoured with his power and lets go of the leash, resulting in him becoming an Omnicidal Maniac who's as bad as, if not worse than, Gig himself. Who of course finds the whole thing hilarious and starts handing out power like it was Christmas time. Right up until he realizes that maybe supporting the crazy wasn't such a good idea when he gets eaten by the protagonist himself |

Claymore: In the recent chapters, it's shown that Raki has essentially become the leash-holder for Priscilla, who's taken on a much smaller form since she apparently hasn't been eating people lately and has been helping Raki find Yoma. Priscilla, by the way, is more or less the strongest awakened being ever. Raki, however, admits that he may have to kill her at some point and that she likely will eat him first if he tries. | |

Black Butler: Ciel is a 12-year-old rich kid in control of a demon who just happens to be working as a butler in his mansion. Sebastian, the demon, pretty much does whatever Ciel tells him to do. He won't do anything without Ciel ordering him to. Of course, it's also quite clear he will eat Ciel's soul as soon as he fulfills the admittedly vague terms of their contract. | |

An example of the rarer, more loyal variant: In the Dungeons & Dragons campaign setting Ravenloft, the class-based critters of wizards (familiars) and paladins (holy steeds) are transformed into entities known as "Dread Companions". These perverted versions of the ordinary companions are totally evil, but remain slavishly devoted to their master, to the point of acting on his or her subconscious desires. | |

The Girl from Tomorrow: At one point, one of the protagonists has the Big Bad under control with a device that controls his every movement. Eventually he's trusted enough to go places — heavily guarded and with the device at the ready — and saves a boy from drowning in order to convince his master that he's undergone a Heel–Face Turn so he'll deactivate the device. It works, much to the distress of the title character, who doesn't buy it. | |

Bastard!! (1988)'s Dark Schneider was all about this. A virgin maiden's kiss and a spell released him from his childish body and transformed him onto the cruel, evil, and horny black mage. Dark Schneider only cares about himself and his desires, and Tia Noto Yoko, the person who freed him, is the only person who can cow him into some semblance of behaving himself. | |

Gunnerkrigg Court: The fox spirit Reynardine possesses one of Antimony's old toys. Unfortunately for Rey, because she owns his current host, she also owns him; he more or less has to do as she says. The court isn't very happy about it, but confiscating Reynard wouldn't be a legitimate ownership transfer and could free him. As of Chapter 52, Antimony has given Reynard to Kat rather than give him to her father. | |

Chrono Crusade: Subverted (and sometimes subverted again). Considering Rosette is in a contract with a demon, it seems like they'd have this sort of relationship, and Rosette's commander, Sister Kate, is openly suspicious of her partner. But Chrono himself is a kind-hearted person that, in the words of another character, "wishes not to harm anyone." However, he does have a Berserk Button that sets off his demonic instincts at times — meaning that occasionally Rosette does have to step in and order him to stop. | |

If said host wants someone dead, the Walrider makes sure they are very dead.

Girl Genius: The Heterodyne family serves as a family of psychopathic mad scientists with the leash to Castle Heterodyne. Agatha is one of the few with any empathy, kindness, or respect for other humans. However, Agatha has to watch how she orders the Castle. It tends to interpret her orders... creatively. Agatha's father and uncle were the "Heterodyne Boys", heroic adventurer sparks who tried to help other people as well. This trope applies in several more cases, too; the Heterodynes had lots of servants to the line, including the Castle itself, the Jagers, and the people of Mechanicsburg. Agatha, through her mother's Compelling Voice, also has some degree of control over several of the geisterdamen, the slaver wasps and creatures, and anyone infected with the new slaver wasps. |

Beyond: Two Souls: The protagonist, Jodie, has spent her entire life with a Poltergeist-like entity called Aiden. Aiden seems to genuinely care for Jodie's wellbeing and does what it can to protect her, usually taking orders from her, but sometimes, Aiden acts on his own and can get quite malevolent if provoked. For this reason, hurting Jodie is generally a very, very bad idea. | |

However, as the Antichrist has grown up as an ordinary boy who is completely unaware of his destiny, upon its arrival he unwittingly commands it to become an ordinary pet dog — and as the novel progresses, the hound becomes progressively less interested in tearing the throats out of the innocent and more interested in chasing cats. | |

Mogget in the Old Kingdom trilogy by Garth Nix. He's an incredibly powerful and very, very angry Free Magic creature, but a powerful Charter Magic spell in his collar locks him into serving the Abhorsens and cuts off a lot of his power. If the Abhorsen takes off his collar, he returns to his original form and helps them for a little bit. Unfortunately, he then starts on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge against the people who've been controlling him for centuries. (Although it's not a matter of him having something against the Abhorsens personally; it's just that he really wants to get back at the Seven for binding him in the first place, and guess who happens to embody the remnants of Saraneth?) | |

Subverted in several ways with Touhou Project and Remilia/Flandre. Fits because Flandre is Ax-Crazy insane and only Remilia (and to lesser extent Sakuya, her maid) keeps Flandre under control. Subverted because Flandre is actually younger than Remilia (not by much though), because they're both about 500 years old vampires, and because they're actually sisters. | |

Temeraire: Subverted regarding dragons, which the British believe to be violent beasts who are uncontrollable unless bonded to a Captain fresh out of the shell. The first book shows that they're completely sapient and generally moral, if a bit alien in their mindset. The second visits China, where riderless dragons are fully integrated into society with equal rights to humans, and where bonding of hatchlings is considered child abuse. | |

The Girl and the Ghost: Suraya frequently stops her ghost friend Pink from using his powers to take revenge on her bullies, thinking it makes her no better than they are. Not that this stops him from doing it behind her back. | |

Kamen no Maid Guy has Naeka's hold over her 'servant' Kogarashi, who will use his wacky superpowers in increasingly outlandish and sociopathic ways to 'help' her. Said hold was tenuous at best even before the Restraining Bolt broke in the second episode and the only way to restrain him after that is with the good old Ultra-Violence. | |

Beetlejuice: Lydia Deetz is the only character who can keep the eponymous Anti-Hero under control. She's a blend of this trope and Morality Chain; he genuinely adores her and will (however reluctantly) behave himself if she asks. | |

In Person of Interest, the Machine becomes this to Root. To clarify: the all-seeing surveillance state AI is the benevolent leash-holder, and perky Amy Acker is the barely-restrained avatar of chaos and doom. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh!: Yugi once he figures out how to communicate with the 3000-year-old pharaoh possessing his necklace, and tells him that ideas of justice have changed somewhat in the last couple of millennia. While the Pharaoh/Yami Yugi stops mind-crushing people in shadow duels after the Duelist Kingdom arc and becomes much more merciful and reasonable out of his own free will, sometimes he still needs the leash — for example, when he wins in a duel that Pandora jury-rigged so that the loser will have his legs cut off by circular saws, and Pandora starts screaming and begging in terror as the saws approach him, Yami folds his arms and doesn't make a move to help him, incensed that Pandora tried to kill him and Yugi. Yugi has to forcibly take back his body in order to rescue Pandora. Additionally, in season 4, when an enraged Yami breaks the leash and blocks Yugi from his mind and body to stop him from interfering in his attempt to punish Rafael for claiming he was a bloodthirsty tyrant when he was a king, the results are predictably disastrous. |

In Summon Night: Swordcraft Story 2, the player may choose the half-angel, half-devil Dinah as their Guardian Beast. Her devil half claims to be heartless and evil, and that she's forced by circumstance to work for the main character. Her catchphrase is "I guess I don't have a choice", whenever Edge/Air announces his/her plans to do anything. Her failure to be completely evil is just that blasted angel interfering plus enlightened self-interest, honest! No, really! | |

Manly Guys Doing Manly Things: Jared the ex-Pokémon trainer has a Gyarados which he named Mr. Fish as his partner. He was kicked out of the Pokémon League because he wasn't tight enough with the leash and allowed Mr. Fish to eat his competitors. Aside from this Mr. Fish is completely loyal to Jared. | |

Cobweb and Stripes: Lydia is this quite literally for Betelgeuse in the first several chapters. He invokes an ancient magical law which changes his punishment from straight-up imprisonment to being bound to a mortal anchor, and invisible chains prevent him from moving far from her side. | |

Negima! Magister Negi Magi: Evangeline's first partner, the doll Chachazero, is a bloodthirsty thing that would rock Chucky's boxers. She often councils her mistress towards violence, murder, and mayhem. This is despite the fact that Evangeline herself is already a notoriously evil vampire sorceress with a huge bounty on her head... Also inverted in Evangeline's relationship with her other partner Chachamaru, a gentle-souled Friend to All Living Things of a Robot Girl. |

Heroine of several Forgotten Realms short stories (Thieves' Reward, Thieves' Honor, Thieves' Justice) by Mary H. Herbert, thief Teza managed to swindle Anti-Villain out of magically bind an aughisky - a very rare sentient humanoid-eating horse. She both rode him and got rid of many enemies by her monster's teeth. Teza loved even normal horses and cared very well for the most cool and beautiful mount she ever saw. That paid off when control was broken: instead of simply devouring her, the aughisky saved her life and left. And even allied with her later on. | |

Deconstructed/subverted in The Bartimaeus Trilogy: Nathaniel (an apprentice magician) firmly believes that demons are Always Chaotic Evil, and that elaborate incantations and careful wording are necessary to keep enslaved summons in check. While this is not entirely unjustified (Bartimaeus is very open about his willingness to free himself by killing Nathaniel if he had the chance), Bartimaeus — the demon — is often more moral than Nathaniel. He complains about being given less-than-ethical tasks, and there are hints throughout the series that both the djinni and the boy would be better off if Nathaniel relaxed the restraints and simply trusted him. The rule is kept, however, with Bartimeaus' favorite master, Ptolemy, who was able to form a strong bond of trust through his companionship until his death. He is the one who originally formed Bartimaeus' ethics. |

Durarara!!: In an omake story, Tom's relationship with Shizuo is shown to actually be a subversion. Tom is actually insulted by suggestions that Shizuo is his to control ("The kid isn't a dog.") and, despite the fact that Shizuo was hired to be Tom's bodyguard, Tom actively avoids making Shizuo fight for him. In fact, several details (such as who pays for Shizuo's property damage) imply that Tom offered the job mostly for Shizuo's benefit. There is however, a straight example with Anri and Saika. Saika basically spends all of its time in Anri's head incessantly suggesting that she should let it "love" anyone and everyone, especially Shizuo. Anri is understandably a little distressed by this. |

Hellsing: After her father's death, Integra Hellsing likely spent the rest of her childhood holding the leash of the ravenous vampire Alucard — which could well explain a lot about her personality. Something uncommon about this example is that Alucard's loyalty is real. He truly likes to serve Integra, he even respected her ancestor (Abraham van Helsing, the man who defeated and sealed him) having thought of him as a Worthy Opponent. | |

Full Metal Panic!!: In a mild version of this trope, Kaname Chidori inspires a great deal of loyalty and protectiveness from her bodyguard S�suke, who is both capable of and willing to unleash copious amounts of carnage to keep her safe (much to her chagrin). The pair's relationship is at one point described as that of "a rabid dog and its master". | |
