A common characteristic of blade-wielding evildoers is their tendency to lick their weapons, whether clean or bloodied, as if their weapon was a cherry-flavored popsicle of non-diabetic death. Borders on Too Dumb to Live when licking the sharp edge or any surface with a coat of poison. Generally considered a giveaway that this character is a Psycho for Hire, a Combat Sadomasochist, or otherwise sufficiently off his rocker to do anything. Especially creepy when paired with Evil Tastes Good flavored Hemo Eroticism. Conversely, can have major fetish potential. Some characters feel a deep attachment to their weapon, almost as if it's a person. The one doing the licking isn't necessarily evil or rather, more accurately, isn't always a story's antagonist. An Anti-Hero or Villain Protagonist can be seen doing this, especially if they're engaging their Superpowered Evil Side. Usually to showcase the fact they've either gone off the deep end or are very close to it, and that it is scary. Often a major fetish, especially if the licker is attractive. See also Finger-Lickin' Evil, You Taste Delicious. A character who does this often may have Bloodlust. See also Lecherous Licking. Do Not Try This at Home, unless you're really tired of having a tongue and/or you want to contract something. |

Non-villain example from Redwall; when Dippler swears an oath to kill the slayer of his leader, he licks the blade of his rapier; "I'll hunt him down, and when I do this blade'll be wet with something else." There used to be a fanfic in which an Original Character villain somehow managed to cut his own entire tongue out while doing this. Since the tongue is rooted pretty deeply in the mouth and one generally doesn't lick with enough pressure for a licked blade to slice all the way through the muscle, it's unclear exactly how he managed this. |

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Bisexual, possibly-vampire knife freak Vamp does this in his introduction cutscene. Played almost to the point of self-parody in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, in which Vamp licks his knives at an average of twice per cutscene appearance. At one point, he still has Raiden's (white-colored) blood on them, making for an extremely Ho Yay moment. |

Naruto: Hidan does this as a ritual. He gets the opponent's blood on his scythe and licks the blood, which basically makes all the injuries that happen to Hidan go to his opponent. Orochimaru licks his own blood off a kunai (after stabbing himself in the palm with it) at one point before his fight with Sarutobi. Like master, like student: Anko licks a kunai that she's just cut Naruto with before the Forest of Death stage of the chunin exams. Blood included. In a Filler episode, Benten licks a kunai before threatening Hotaru with it. |

Drizzt Do'Urden does this at one point, believe it or not - he just tried to eat mutton off his dagger in the middle of battle for some reason. For what it's worth, it would not be surprising at all if the chapter involving this, "Biggrin's House", were run as an actual D&D session to determine how it went, so the OOC of the mutton thing may be excused. | |

The man playing Hamlet in The Complete Works of William Shakespeare: Abridged does this to his knife after stabbing Polonius. In slow motion. It should be noted that this is not called for in the script, which is a fluctuating thing anyway considering it changes depending upon audience interaction, location, and random ad-libs. Since this is the very nature of the show, it's understandable. |

In the Discworld novel Jingo the (evil)head of a Klatchian(Faux-Arabic)army has been told the opposing Ankh-Morporkian forces are confidant of success despite being outnumbered and untrained as they believe the Klatchians will run as soon as they taste some cold steel. He then licks a sword handed to him and declares he isn't the least bit apprehensive. And if that is as cold as steel gets. | |

Two instances in the original Knight Hunters, or rather, once instance lampshaded in the DVD outtakes. Early on in the series, a Mook licks his hand ax before throwing it at a picture of his target. In the dub outtakes, the same scene is shown with the character's voice actor saying "I need to shave my tongue." Several other characters in the series do it as well, most notably Farfarello of Schwarz. | |

In Screamers, Becker licks his own blade. Subverted in Screamers: The Hunting when Guy does this as a Spot the Imposter test. He cuts Bronte's palm and tastes her blood to establish that it's real. However, this just convinces the rescue team that these people are nuts, so they don't believe their claim that Screamers can now take human form. | |

West of Loathing lampshades this with the clown knife weapon, stating that it's covered in clown spit and that "people who lick their knives to look intimidating are basically the worst people." Happens again if the player chooses to go to the tannery, where they'll see demon clowns using their tongues as whetstones for their knives. | |

Lurtz does this during his fight with Aragorn at the end of the film The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Aragorn stabs him in the leg with his elven dagger, Lurtz pulls it out, licks his own blood off of it and then throws it back at Aragorn, who deflects it with his sword. It's awesome. Especially since Aragorn was only supposed to dodge the dagger and Viggo Mortensen blocked it by accident. |

One Piece: Buggy does this in the opening credits of the anime. As does Big Knife Sarquis from the Jaya Island arc. Zoro does it a couple of times, most notably during the Thriller Bark Arc against Oz (and looks AWESOME in the process). Worth noting here that his unique Three-Sword Style involves holding the other end of the sword in his mouth, so licking the blade isn't a huge departure from his usual habits. Mr. 1 (real name Daz Bones) does this after mulching Zoro's torso with his drill arms. Worth noting that he can turn his body into a sword's edge at will, so he ends up licking his arm. |

In novelized accounts, Strahd von Zarovich does this to the bloodied dagger with which he murdered his brother Sergei. Justified in this case (even though he's not Ax-Crazy) because this murder initiated Strahd's own transformation into D&D's most infamous vampire. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh!: Not a blade, but Bakura licks the blood of off Pegasus' Millennium Eye after ripping it out of his skull. Probably fulfills the creepy-psycho requirement. In a straight example, after Ushio beats up Yugi in the very first chapter, he takes out his knifenote which is used later, in his game against Yami Yugi and licks the blade while threatening to use it if Yugi fails to give him 200k yen. |

In Firefly, Jayne annoys other crew members by doing this. During one episode, Jayne spits on the blade of his combat knife (and yes, it has a name) as he's sharpening it before licking off the spit. The others are...somewhat disconcerted. | |

Battleborn's Rath can do this with his "Keeper of the Blade" taunt. Sometimes he'll add a line that indicates he just cut his tongue. | |

CutMan tells his brothers that MegaMan.EXE did this at him, in an effort to paint MegaMan as the villain. It's Played for Laughs, since the CutMan brothers occupy a notch slightly below Team Rocket in terms of threat level. | |

Saitou Hajime in Rurouni Kenshin does this at least once, as do Usui and Swordhunter Chou. | |

Vega/Balrog from the Street Fighter series is usually doing this during his win quotes. He actually removed his mask to do this in the first anime movie. Thus exposing himself to Chun-Li's kicks... |

Bearclaw on the cover of ElfQuest: Wolfrider. He is more of an anti-hero than his son in the chronologically later stories. | |

In YuYu Hakusho, when an opponent licks Hiei's stolen katana, Hiei remarks that it can't be sanitary because not even he can remember how many people he's killed with it. | |

In Tales of Xillia 2, the alternate Julius you run into early in the game does this if you choose to not be suspicious of him, which drives home the point that he's not the real deal. | |
