Our hero is in an all-out brawl against a gang of Mooks. Fists are flying and he's knocking the little guys away. Then the Giant Mook appears, wrapping his arms around the hero, lifting him off the ground and... hugging him? Then you hear a Sickening "Crunch!". This is the Killer Bear Hug, when a sufficiently strong character wraps their arms around someone's midsection and squeezes to try and crush them to death in a dark parody of a Bear Hug. What makes this different from a painful hug caused by someone who Does Not Know His Own Strength is that the pain is intentional and just happens to look like a hug on a surface level. Subtrope of Bear Hug. Not necessarily given by a killer bear. A Dramatic Spine Injury can be just as likely a result as suffocation. Compare Deadly Hug, where the hug is more of a distraction for the killing tool (like a gun or knife) while here the hug itself is the weapon. If a Killer Bear Hug is accidental, that is a case of And Call Him "George". When done with legs, it's Murderous Thighs. |

The Huggables' modus operandi in Battle Bears is this trope; they hug people so hard that their bones break. Bonus points for them being actual bear-like creatures. | |

In Secret Six, one of Ragdoll's most common killing tactics is to wrap his freakishly-skinny arms around a victim's torso and pull his arms in tight until the victim's ribcage collapses. | |

In an episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Carl is accidentally killed by one of Frylock's inventions. One of Frylock's attempts to save Carl's life is to connect his severed head to a body made entirely from eyeballs (it was the only organic material he could get). Horrified and angered about his situation, Carl painfully walks over to Frylock and grabs him to try and suffocate him. | |

Claymore: Raphaela uses this to kill her sister, Luciela, after "failing" to keep her from turning into one of the strongest monsters to date. Luciela is so far gone she can't understand why her beloved sister is doing this when she realizes this isn't just the hugging reunion she was hoping for, and the close physical contact enabled an equally heartbroken Raphaela to Fusion Dance with her sister into a monster even worse than Luciela was on her own. | |

In Overlord (2012), Ainz Ooal Gown deals with the sadistic Clementine, who was responsible for slaughtering the Swords of Darkness, in this fashion; he specifically made it a Cruel and Unusual Death for her by drawing out the experience for her in revenge for how she sadistically killed one of them, until a fountain of High-Pressure Blood escaped from Clementine's mouth. The actual hug (and the gruesome result thereof) varies from source material: the Anime version was actually tame compared to the Light Novel, with Clementine's inner organs spewing out from her mouth.; meanwhile, the Manga version has Ainz deal this to her one-handed. | |

In Mortal Kombat X: Kotal Kahn has the "Tight Squeeze" fatality, which involves gripping his victim in a bear hug so tight that the victim's head explodes, squeezing out the rest of their blood and innards out like toothpaste. Jason Voorhees has this as a regular Grapple Move, crushing his victim in a death grip before slamming them onto the ground. If enhanced using some meter, he also adds an additional squeeze that prompts bonus damage and a Sickening "Crunch!" to boot. |

In Eclipse (2007), Jasper instructs the Cullens and the Quileutes on fighting the newborn vampire army that are coming to wipe them out. He explains that while exceptionally strong, they are vulnerable due to lack of control and technique. The most important thing is that they don't get their arms around anyone as they'll use that strength to crush their target to a pulp. Sure enough, this is exactly what happens to Jacob, the only one of the defending side to be hurt. | |

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: True Demon Lord Luminous Valentine has the Skill [Embracing Drain], where she grabs her target in a bear hug and drains the energy out of them to replenish her own. This Demon Lord also has an Intrinsic Skill called [Steel Strength] and could easily rip a person apart like paper, and even if her target is tough enough to avoid that fate the technique sends pain signals directly into a target's soul to bypass physical defenses, meaning they will be screaming in agony even if they might Feel No Pain otherwise. | |
