An ankle length overcoat, boots, thick gloves, a brim hat and, most importantly, a mask reminiscent of a raven's face, complete with a beak. And now for the story behind it. A plague doctor is a physician specializing on tending to those who suffered from the bubonic plague. Interestingly, the beak mask itself predates the full head-to-toe protective garment, invented in the fourteenth century. The explanation behind the beak mask is simple: according to the miasma theory of infection, diseases essentially transfer via the poisonous stench, and the doctors protected themselves from inhaling it by placing various herbs, flowers and other aromatic substances inside the beak. We now know that the miasma theory is false, but the full-body leather costume did a good job protecting doctors from exposure to infection, and the mask blocked airborne infections (especially if the plants contained phytoncides), thus the plague doctor's outfit is essentially a grandfather to our modern mask-and-labcoat medical uniforms; even more so to hazmat suits. The costume itself was associated with death (where there's plague, commonly known as the black death, there's the beak doctors), which has become deeply ingrained in popular culture. Thus, a plague doctor's outfit is a typical go-to creepy costume, the resemblance to both The Grim Reaper and Creepy Crows doing this effect no harm at all. It is particularly used when the setting has The Black Death or its equivalent featured. Another common interpretation of this trope is to make the Plague Doctor spread plague instead of treating it.note There's probably some Truth in Television to this: the lax hygiene standards of the period meant that the coats they wore were probably washed infrequently at best (and most certainly weren't sterilized to modern standards), and thus some would literally carry the plague, or any other nasty and opportunistic hitchhiker, with them wherever they went. Say, anthrax. Or smallpox. Or measles. Or typhoid. Or salmonella. Or 'flu. Or a complex blend of whatever else mixed in with the Yersinia pestis that'll keep you up at 03:00. The plague doctor's costume is also very often associated with the Middle Ages, despite they only starting to get used in the 17th century, quite long after what is considered to be the end of the medieval period — likely because it was in the 12th century that the most famous plague pandemic happened. As the costume is particularly associated with Venice (due in part to being a popular Carnevale costume), these guys will often show up in a City of Canals. It's also noteworthy that, due to its creepy appearance, the Plague Doctor's (in)famous bird costume is often a target for the Nightmare Fetishist. For a modern equivalent see Gas Mask, Longcoat. Coat, Hat, Mask is a broader trope. |

Zero Time Dilemma: Zero II's outfit is based off of a plague doctor, although obviously more for fashion than for function, judging by the frilly cravat and butterfly pin they also adorn. It is also symbolic of him being the Plaguemaster who unleashes the Radical-6 virus on the world, which kills 6 billion people. | |

Dark Souls III: It's hard to see and not visible in the inventory, but the Sage's Big Hat item has a mask that's clearly inspired by this under its gigantic brim — although given that the Crystal Sages are focused on magic damage rather than poison or the like, it's not entirely clear why. | |

Othercide is set in a dark world which has been swept by a plague. A whole group of enemy units are named "Plague [Something]", and all have the appearance of robed thin and tall (actually taller than your units) humanoids, which face include a long and pointy beak. One of them is literally named "Plague Doctor", it wears a hat (more a Robin Hood-esque cap than the classical round hat usually associated with the outfit), and wields a sickle. | |

Doctor Who Expanded Universe: New Series Adventures: In Plague City the Doctor, Bill and Nardole meet a female plague doctor in 17th century Edinburgh, who takes advantage of the mask to avoid the prejudices of the era. There is also the Night Doctor, a mysterious figure in a plague doctor outfit who visits those who are doomed to die. It turns out to be Anabelle's outfit animated by an alien intelligence. In the short story "The Triple Knife" from The Legends of Ashildr (later the title story to a collection of Jenny Colgan's Doctor Who short stories), London during the Black Death is visited by three alien Scientists who resemble leathery bird-men. Ashildr first thinks they're trying to cure the plague, but it turns out they just see the infected as useful lab animals. She's later astonished to find that the idea they were doctors has resulted in genuine plague doctors copying the look. |

The SCP Foundation has SCP-049. This being the Foundation, naturally he's a horrifying Deadly Doctor. He also doesn't seem to be aware that he is one, and genuinely thinks that he's helping to treat the Plague. He actually isn't a man wearing plague doctor clothes but a humanoid entity whose skin and face are identical to plague doctor's garb and mask. It is never made clear if the pestilence he claims to cure is a real disease threatening humanity or he is just delusional. There's also an Affectionate Parody of him in the form of SCP-049-J, which is basically the original SCP-049 played for Black Comedy. SCP-049 also has an alternate universe counterpart in the Aces & Eights canon who is a more normal plague doctor, and also female, except instead of wearing the outfit to protect herself from disease, she wears it to make sure she doesn't spread the disease she is carrying to the people around her. | |

World of Warcraft: Grand Apothecary Putress wears a mask inspired by the beak mask, and is a plague-spreader. Warlocks have a similar armor set, they, however, being demonic mages, have nothing to do with plague. Warlocks specialized in Affliction, however, do most of their damage by afflicting targets with various diseases and ailments as a primary means of dealing damage. Shadowlands adds a cloth armor set that was very clearly based on plague doctors. Plague Deviser Marileth wears a bird-skull mask and robes that give him this aesthetic. Though as his title suggests, his job is to create plagues rather than treat them. |

Father Brown: In "The Alchemist's Secret", the eponymous alchemist is dressed this way in the flashback that open the episode. The main suspect later hallucinates a vision of the alchemist who — when he removes his cowl and mask — turns out to be himself. It is learning of the alchemist's garb that allows Father to deduce that secret is actually a weaponized version of The Black Death. | |

In an interesting touch, the type of bird your mask is styled after seems to represent your rank; the town guards look like ravens, Warden Wrath wears a classic ibis mask, Coven Witches have parrot-like helmets, we briefly see a musician wearing a songbird variant, the Golden Guard has an owl helmet, and Emperor Belos himself wears a golden helm that kind of resembles a vulture head (with horns). | |

One of the weaker varieties of Psychopomps that guide souls to the Boneyard appear as ravens wearing masks like a plague doctor's. |

The Russian Major Grom comic book series features a recurring Serial Killer character who wears a plague doctor mask. The series also spawned a Spin-Off comic, in which said character — now somewhat reformed — mentors a young, budding hero, who takes up the mantle. Said hero also sports the bird-like mask, though it's redesigned to feature protective padding, telescoping lenses, and a voice changer. |

Outward: The Plague Doctor, also known as the Jade-lich, is a specific lich associated with the "decay" element, i.e. poison and disease damage. He lives in a huge ziggurat in the Hallowed Marsh, siphoning the naturally-occurring decay energy out of the waters to feed himself, and also runs a cabal of dangerous cultists. His exact motivations aren't clear, but he claims to be working toward the benefit of humanity, and can be reasoned with if one is powerful enough to get his attention. | |

RuneScape: There is a set of quests set in West Ardougne collectively named the Plague City Quests where a half of a city has been affected by a plague and the people are being treated by plague doctors known as the Mourners. As the player investigates it is discovered that the plague is actually a hoax and the Mourners are actually evil elves in disguise who are taking humans as slave labor under the guise of taking them to be treated. The 2018 Halloween event also had a side event running where you complete tasks to get stylized plague doctor uniform overrides in three different colors and syringe weapon overrides alongside the normal yearly event. |

Lobotomy Corporation: One of the abnormalities you have to manage is a plague doctor who appears to have a pair of large crow wings. The Plague Doctor is, thankfully, completely harmless and grants boons to up to twelve different employees who work with it. Once the twelfth employee has been blessed, the Plague Doctor transforms into WhiteNight, an angelic being who is the most dangerous Abnormality in the game, and the twelve blessed employees turn into monstrous Apostles who will rampage through your facility and one-shotting any agents they hit. Suppressing and containing WhiteNight is one of the hardest challenges in the game, especially since it possessing your employees counts as employee deaths which trigger other Abnormalities breaching containment. | |

Agent 47 can, of course, use it as a disguise, but it's obviously a very suspicious getup so it's mostly only useful for challenges. Wearing it while walking around in an area where people won't immediately be hostile to you, however, will cause passers-by to comment that you've been playing too much Assassin's Creed. | |

Ragnarok Online: The guards of the city of Geffen have a uniform heavily based on the plague doctors, sans hat. There is, however, no plague. Note that the plague doctors' outfits in real life are themselves based on military uniforms. | |

Rurouni Kenshin: In the manga reboot Restoration, Kenshin meets and befriends a doctor who wears this mask. However, the real reason for the mask is because the doctor is really a woman; she knew that many of the close-minded citizens would not believe in or listen to a female doctor. At the end of their adventure, Kenshin encourages her to reveal her face to the town. She is extremely beautiful, and soon all the guys are scrambling to be treated by her. | |

Prometheus. The biosuit helmets used by the Engineers have this appearance. As they're handling a deadly alien pathogen, it's likely for Rule of Symbolism. | |
