If Hazardous Water indirectly trying to kill you gets even worse, you may be unfortunate enough to deal with the extreme: The water itself has apparently developed a mind of its own. Not content to be simply flow downhill, it has decided to defy gravity and pursue a sinister desire: kill. For obvious reasons, ordinary water acting on its own will is hard to believe. This can be Justified with the explanation that someone or something is Making a Splash: the water is being possessed or manipulated by a malevolent force. If this thing or person can be stopped, the water will probably return to normal. Compare Elemental Embodiment, Elemental Powers, Kill It with Water. Sister trope to Evil Living Flames and Living Lava. |

In Naruto, Suigetsu can not only turn himself into water, but he can control and shape up to a lake's worth at will. Kisame has a variation on this trope in that he creates the water from his chakra, allowing him to flood areas and drown people wherever he is. | |

Darkwing Duck: As a hydrokinetic, Liquidator is easily able to do this. However, in the comic revival, a strange force (other than Liquidator) has taken over the entire bay in St. Canard, pulling people into it and seemingly regurgitating all the negative emotions of the citizens as tidal waves and currents. Turns out Paddywhack, a Monster of the Week from the original show, is possessing the bay. | |

SCP Foundation has SCP-3280, sentient water that turns ordinary water into more of itself. It has a fondness for live human prey and uses a silent Orifice Invasion to enter its victims, followed by a violent expulsion to kill them. Worse still, it is mentioned that it will cause an XK-scenario if it ever escapes containment and infects all of Earth's water. | |

Numawatari (Wandering Swamp) from Inuyasha is a powerful Yokai made entirely of water, usually pretending to be a pond in order to eat anything getting too close. Being made of water, he proves to be too powerful for Inuyasha to handle, as he can simply disperse into water and reform even when struck by the wind-based Wind Scar and even Bakuryuuha. It's eventually defeated by Sesshomaru using Meido Zangetsuha to suck him into the Netherworld. | |

Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts: One of the mutant hazards on the surface is a hive mind colony of tardigrades, named Tad Mulholland, that inhabit one water supply and can freely shape it to their will. They induce an idyllic dream state when drunk, to feed on mental energy, as well feeding on bodies once they die. Once confronted at the end of his debut episode, Tad is talked out of continuing to feed in this manner and becomes an ally for the rest of the series. | |

The Hungry Sea in The Keys Stand Alone: The Soft World. Fall in or swim in it, and you soon begin to babble incomprehensibly and act crazy. Not a problem for three of the four, sitting in a boat... but John is in the water, pushing them along. And the Hungry Sea also eats boats and is full of sea monsters, and their boat falls apart in the middle of the stormy sea. And George's ring chooses to stick at that moment, trapping him in his own form at the worst possible time. He drowns. It's all a carefully choreographed moment by Durothé, though, to kick at least one of them out of gameworld-C'hou and into the real C'hou so they can finally learn what's really going on. | |

One-Punch Man: Being set in a world full of monsters, this story has its own evil aqua-based entity: Evil Natural Water. Being merely a mass of sentient water with a pair of eyeballs, it's primary means of attack is to shoot out tendrils of high-velocity water at its opponent, hoping to pierce or otherwise harm them. It isn't as evil as it is bloodthirsty, and merely lies around until it senses murderous killing intent nearby. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: Abalins are fluid oozes sometimes known as "living water," virtually indistinguishable from a large puddle in their passive state. They have a knack for lying inert over a shiny pile of coins or other treasure until prey draws near, then the ooze attacks, rearing up and forming pseudopods to try and pull prey into its mass to drown. Despite their watery appearance, abalins are actually comprised of a weak acid, so the lack of fish or other life in a "puddle" can give their true nature away. Brine oozes resemble large patches of animated briny water with a taste for blood. Shaboaths are constructs akin to golems create by aboleths by mixing seawater with their own mucus, creating an amorphous, animated mass of water used chiefly to dispose of mortals that have made annoyances of themselves. Water elementals are living masses of water and often have poor attitudes towards flesh-and-blood mortals, especially when on a rampage trying to kill the summoner whose leash they've just slipped. The water weird is a monster that lies in wait looking for all the world like a harmless pool of water until some careless adventurer approaches closely enough to make the effort of suddenly turning into a watery snake and trying to drown them worthwhile. |

H₂O: Just Add Water: The overarching plot of the third season is a strange water tentacle that appears out of any body of water during the full moon and drags one of the girls to the Moon Pool. Rikki is grabbed and nearly drowns during the first encounter (mermaids breathe air, like dolphins), and when Bella is captured in a later episode, she's nearly dissolved into water by the tentacle. Eventually subverted; the tentacle was the Moon Pool's means of getting the girls to see a prophecy involving a comet heading towards Earth. | |

In The Tales of Alvin Maker, the Big Bad (the Unmaker) primarily acts through possessing water because, due to its tendencies to naturally erode and wear away materials exposed to it, it is more attuned to the Unmaker than the other elements. Apart from simply drowning people, at one point it froze the water, causing a knot to form in a particular tree, causing a weak point in a particular log, causing a building to collapse on the hero. | |

The Star Trek: The Original Series episode "The Naked Time" has Polywater, which renders crewmen recklessly uninhibited. Normally, this just makes them seem obnoxiously drunk and short-tempered, but it causes one crewman (lightly implied to be a Death Seeker) to literally lose the will to live. This is not the case in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Naked Now", which is otherwise pretty much a revisiting of the episode — polywater was a proposed substance in the mid-late '60s, but it had been disproven only a few years after the original series went off the air, so "The Naked Now" retcons it to a virus found in water. | |

The Fairly OddParents!: H2Olga, a member of the Crimson Chin's Rogues Gallery, is a woman made entirely of water who wants to sink the entirety of Chincinnati. When given access to large bodies of water, including ones in the real world (e.g. by dropping a Crimson Chin comic in a full bathtub), she becomes one of the Crimson Chin's deadliest threats. | |

Psychonauts has Raz's entire bloodline cursed by another psychic family to die in water, which forms a ghastly arm when Raz is near to drag him to his doom. Oddly, this even applies to fake water inside other people's minds. Psychonauts 2 reveals that the curse is actually a form of hydrophobia implanted within Raz's grandmother by Ford Cruller that she passed down to her family and that the hand is actually a psionic manifestation of that fear. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time had Morpha, a boss that is effectively a pool of water. It has a round ball as a weak point and is subtitled as a "Giant Aquatic Amoeba", though it's unclear if only the ball is the boss and it's hydrokinetic, or if the whole pool is the boss and the ball is just its nucleus. After it's defeated, the entire room dries up with astonishing quickness, supporting the latter idea. | |

Doctor Who: "The Waters of Mars" has an ancient contagion released from beneath the surface of Mars that's so virulent that just one single drop can infect a victim completely. Oh, and turn them into a walking, bloated, terrifying zombie. Inverted in "Death in Heaven", in which rainwater contaminated by Cyberpollen brings the dead back to life as Cybermen. "The Ghost Monument": The water on the planet Desolation isn't safe to even touch because of the huge numbers of flesh-eating bacteria in it. |

Brütal Legend has the Sea of Black Tears, which is Hazardous Water taken to its logical extreme. If someone is thrown into it, they are dragged underwater by what appears to be the sea itself to join the ranks of the world's Goth faction, called the Drowning Doom. Both Brutal Legend and Psychonauts were written by Tim Schafer. One wonders if he can swim... | |

In The Mummy Returns, Imhotep can control the waters of the Nile, causing it to flood at will, which is useful for him as the Nile is the fastest way for the protagonists to seek their destination.
