A Sub-Trope of Improvised Weapon and closely related to the Powerful Pick, shovels are primarily used for excavation but can instantly become a weapon if the need arises. The handle gives the weapon a good reach while the head provides a weight allowing it to function as an oddly-shaped mace. With proper sharpening of the blade, the shovel can even work as an oddly-balanced polearm. Especially dexterous individuals can even use the flat of the shovel as a shield, which can be quite comedic if the blocked blow was a punch. Can either be used as an easy way to render an enemy unconscious or as a lethal weapon depending on the user and media. Not to mention, it carries the advantage of being something inconspicuous in any home and useful if you need to get rid of a body. Indeed, if a gravedigger is presented as a combatant, he usually uses a shovel this way. Truth in Television: after studying the infantry dynamics of the World Wars, most modern military forces have been giving their entrenching tools a semi-sharp tool edge that can easily be honed further before a battle to increase its cutting power. Plus, it takes training to become proficient with bayonet, knife or sword combat — but practically everyone on Earth have used shovels sometime in their lives. In the bloody house-to-house fighting in the WWII Battle of Stalingrad, the entrenching shovel was often used in close quarters combat. It is also frequently used as a Real Life Emergency Weapon against dangerous animals, since it can provide good reach and hitting power and a surprisingly effective cutting edge, making it an effective axe/spear hybrid. |

In Persona 4 Golden, you're given the quest "100% Inaba-Grown Cabbage," where you help a local, freelance vegetable merchant/housewife ride out a cabbage shortage by growing your own to compensate for the deficit and she'll give you the 'Sharp Shovel' weapon for the MC as a reward. Not only does the shovel deal great damage when you get it, its special effect is a free casting of Auto-Tarukaja, meaning it does even more damage during the first three turns of any fight where it's used. | |

In a story set during The Clone Saga, a mercenary villain called the Pro forced Peter (who was suffering from a temporary loss of his powers) to unearth the skeleton of another clone (long story) and specifically warned him not to try this against him. However, when he got what he wanted, Ben Reilly (who was currently Spider-Man) jumped in, and after a free-for-all battle with a mob of other third-rate villains, the Pro was the only one left standing, pointing a gun at the now-exhausted Ben... At which point Peter let him have it with the shovel from behind, who then said, "I've been waiting for that all day, pal..." | |

The opening tag to one episode of The X-Files showed a guy burying the man he had just killed. He then walks into the kitchen, sees the same man standing at the sink, and promptly takes a swing with the shovel killing his wife; the episode dealt with hallucination-inducing subliminal messages. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: 3.5 Edition and older had the Mattock of the Titans, a magical digging implement that was so large only an extremely big giant or an actual Titan could wield it. In addition to digging, which allowed the use to excavate ridiculous amounts of dirt in a single round, it also counted as a +3 morningstar, and thus was the shovel a Storm Giant brought when he went to kill a dragon. Its insane size meant that it was completely unusable by normal player characters barring the use of extremely powerful magic. 5th Edition adds the Adze of Annam, a magic artifact said to have been used by Annam, the chief diety of the giants before he disappeared millenia ago. In addition to being a potent digging implement, it functions as a magical greataxe with substantial enchantements. It's left to a GM's discretion whether or not it's useable only by giant-sized creatures or if it will magically resize itself to fit a smaller being. |

In "Mr. Monk Can't See a Thing", Eddie Murdoch walks into a firehouse to steal a firefighter's coat and helmet. As he is grabbing it, a firefighter named Rusty comes around the parked fire engine to confront him. Murdoch responds by grabbing a shovel and striking Rusty over the head, killing him. Seconds later, Monk comes around investigating the audible clang caused by the first hit, and Murdoch swings the shovel at him, though Monk dodges a would-be-lethal blow so that it hits him over the back. There is a struggle, and Monk grabs the shovel, but before he can swing it at Murdoch, Murdoch throws a container of acid in his face, blinding him. Monk drops the shovel and staggers backwards against the fire engine screaming in pain. |

World War Z has the U.S. Marines making use of this trope via their standard-issue entrenching shovels, as they are credited with creating "the Lobotomizer": sharpened along the edge, the shovels made great battle axes for lopping off zombie heads. Surprisingly effective, and rather common by the end of the war, thanks of their ease of production and utility. The before-mentioned Monk's spade is also used by a old blind man to great effect in defending himself. | |

Dalton in One Piece wields a large weapon that can only be described as a "Battle Shovel": that means the handle of a shovel and a large, flat blade similar to a sword. In the 4Kids version, Bellemere also infamously used a shovel instead of a shotgun to threaten Arlong during Nami's flashback in the Arlong arc. |

Leaky-Eye Luka uses a shovel as his weapon of choice in the Golden Wind segment of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. He winds up hurting himself when he tries to slam a frog with it. Reason? The frog was a creation of Gold Experience—meaning that any injuries it would have suffered are instead sustained by the attacker... In Part 8, the main protagonist uses a shovel to fend off a zombiefied woman in order to prevent himself from being infected by the enemy stand. |

The Shovel is one of the best melee weapons in Darkwood. It's very slow and doesn't do as much damage as the Axe, but makes up for it in durability (especially if you give it the Sturdy Blade upgrade), swing arc and reach. You can also dig up scrap piles with it, though at a huge cost to its integrity. | |

A shovel can be acquired as a melee weapon in Left 4 Dead 2, with exclusive sound effects when bashing the Infected with. The only downside is the swing animation is different from other melee weapons, so it takes a bit of getting used to. Killing a certain number of Jockeys with the shovel (or the pitchfork, either counts) nets you an achievement. | |

For added effect, it can also combine with an equally large pickaxe into a BFS. The main characters of Dino Charge have a Running Gag of using shovels as weapons, although it makes sense, since they're frequently on archeological digs. |

Warhammer 40,000: The Death Korps of Kreig specialize in trench and siege warfare, so have a special affinity for the "entrenching tools" that every single soldier carries. In-Universe, they're trained to use it as a weapons, as befits their inspiration (see the German Army entry in Real Life below). Memetically, however, the fandom has the Kreigers treat any type of shovel with religious awe, and charging Chaos Space Marines and Tyranid Tyrants with naught but a sharpened spade. On the Chaotic side, Warsmith Honsou of the Iron Warriors states in one of the short stories about him that his personal shovel was crafted in forges run by a specific Warsmith who favoured shorter handles...because that made them more convenient for trench-fighting, a thing the Iron Warriors do a lot of. |

Team Fortress 2: the Soldier's default melee weapon is a folding trench Shovel. In "Meet the Soldier" he's seen backhanding an enemy Spy with it, and in game you can earn an achievement for getting revenge with it. In a tactical sense, the Shovel is more a formality to fall back on if you don't have time to reload your rocket launcher and shotgun. Due to the class' stats and other weapons, the Soldier is probably tied with the Pyro and Heavy as the least likely to use his default melee weapon, and thus most likely to replace it with an unlockable weapon with a special effect. The Soldier can also unlock the Market Gardener, another trench shovel that scores an automatic Critical Hit if you melee an opponent while Rocket Jumping, at the expense of not scoring any random Criticals while on the ground. There are entire Difficult, but Awesome builds based around the "Trolldier," involving using a combination of the Rocket Jumper launcher and the Market Gardener to bounce around the battlefield bonking skulls while airborne. |

In Journey to the West, Sha Wujing's weapon of choice in most modern media is a Monk's Spade, known as the "Monster-Conquering Precious Rod" (said weapon is also known as "Zen Rod", explaining the shift from staff to polearm). That being said, some versions averts this by giving his weapon only the crescent blade. Antagonists armed with a Spade include the Nine-Headed Monster (again, sometimes he only has the crescent blade) and the Tawny Lion Spirit, who brandishes a scraper/spade known as the Four Light Spade. | |

The champion Yorick of League of Legends uses some kind of shovel as his weapon before and after his redesign, both used for pummeling enemies. With his initial design, he was an undead gravedigger who wielded a traditionally-recognized dirt shovel, but with his current design where he's instead the last of an ancient monk order, he wields what looks more like a stylized "monk's spade". | |

A vamped-out Angel gets up and comments on the giant bump on his head. Gwendolyn doesn't even bat an eye. She cheerfully replies that she intended to kill him, then cracks the shovel handle over her knee and tries to stake him with the pieces. In "Pangs", Willow attempts to kill a vengeful American Indian spirit with a shovel. It Makes Sense in Context. When Willow gave Riley advice on courting Buffy in "The Initiative: "Have fun, and if you hurt her, I'll beat you to death with a shovel. A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend." In "Sleeper", Buffy discovers Spike has been killing people and burying them in a basement Serial Killer-style. The victims Rise From Their Grave as vampires, so she stakes them with the shovel used to bury them. |

In Verdun, one of the many weapons you can get is a shovel. Considering that it's a game set in World War I, this isn't surprising. It also guarantees a One-Hit Kill. | |

Midsomer Murders: Fliss Inkpen is done in by a blow to the head from a shovel in "Garden of Death". "Orchis Fatalis": When exposed, the murderer attacks Barnaby and Scott with a spade and then attempts to escape. In "Book of the Dead", Bertram Jewel, the first Victim of the Week, is walking into the woods. He digs a hole and places the treasure under a glass globe. He takes a photo of it with his phone. Someone comes up and bashes him on the head with a shovel. Bertram is buried up to his neck with the glass globe over his head, suffocating him |

The Shovel in Nuclear Throne has the widest swing arc of all melee weapons. Since melee weapons can reflect or destroy most projectiles, it makes for a fantastic defensive weapon. It also deals a decent amount of damage; its only downside is its slow swing speed. The Ultra version increases the damage and swing speed, at the cost of some rads per swing. | |

A shovel appears in Manhunt 2 as one of many weapons that the player can use to execute a foe (including one where they give a victim a rather vicious Groin Attack). In the story, the shovel is notable as it's the weapon Daniel uses to kill Leo with. | |

The Sopranos episode "Pine Barrens" showcased gangsters Paulie Walnuts and Chris Moltisanti taking Russian mobster Valery out to the woods of New Jersey to kill him and discreetly dispose of the body. To that end, they have him dig his own grave. But the former Russian special forces operative turns the tables on them by striking Christopher with a shovel and (possibly) escaping. | |

All Quiet on the Western Front (1930) is set in the trenches of WWI. Kat, Paul's mentor tells him not to use a knife during trench raids since they often get stuck; in the time it takes to kick the enemy hard enough to free the knife he'd be dead. He is told to instead use a sharpened entrenching tool between neck and shoulder: faster, cleaner and safer for him. Truth in Television, disturbingly enough. The famous scene of the French attack on the German trench shows many soldiers swinging shovels. The 2022 film adaptation has a disturbing trench warfare scene where Paul goes diving into an enemy trench and attacks a French soldier with a sharpened shovel. |

Super Smash Bros.: A character mod for Brawl from Brawl Vault turns Ness into the boy villager from Animal Crossing: City Folk. The front smash becomes a shovel. In his official appearance as a playable character, the Villager also uses the shovel as a weapon, but rather then hitting them directly, he digs out the ground from beneath them. As of Ultimate, Shovel Knight joins the battle as an Assist Trophy. He's able to use his shovel blade to either throw chunks of dirt at an enemy, or shovel drop onto them from above. |
