The Little Detecto	comment	It's a wonderful device â€” a detector that detects the things you need! There is a detector for everything — Applied Phlebotinum, Green Rocks, guns, bombs, spaceships, ghosts, mice, cheese, socks... If you live in a high-tech setting and need to find something, there is a type of The Little Detecto that will detect it! The physics behind the Little Detecto is never explained. It just detects the thing that is the local Serious Business. The Trope Namer is a gadget from one Tom and Jerry cartoon that was used to detect mice. Compare Thing-O-Meter, a comedy trope. Contrast with Everything Sensor; The Little Detecto only detects the one thing that is Serious Business.

There are several different versions, the best of which leans slightly towards being an Everything Sensor as it can also mark the position of non-moving anomalies.

The Little Detecto / int_1adee40d	comment	The World Ends with You: Joshua gets an app from Hanekoma that lets him track some kind of "energy spikes". Things that set it off include the mysterious new Shadow Ramen shop and large crowds of people wearing Red Skull pins. Unfortunately for Neku, the only explanation Josh is willing to give him is that he's looking for "what this tracker is tracking". The Secret Reports explain that it detects the Conductor's Imagination — anything related to Kitaniji's plan will ping it, allowing Joshua to put together what he's up against. At this point, even Hanekoma himself doesn't know what Kitaniji's plan is, so the tracker is the best bet for both of them.

The Little Detecto / int_6ac55ec7	comment	In Dungeons & Dragons, many spells work like The Little Detecto. They have titles beginning with "Detect", as simple as that: Earlier editions had quite a few; Detect Magic, Detect Evil, Detect Good, Detect Undead, Detect Traps...etc. 5th edition simplified them to four broader spells: Detect Evil & Good note Detect any creature that not native to the Prime Material World (e.g. Fiends, Celestials, Elementals, Undead, and Aberations- contrary to the name the creature's alignment is irrelevant) — earlier editions had similar spells for each alignment and they actually detected targets based on their alignment, Detect Magicnote Makes any magically affected item or person glow, indicating the intensity of magic and the school it belongs to, Detect Poison & Diseasenote Instantly sense and identify any poison or poisonous creature or disease within 30ft and Detect Thoughtsnote You can sense any thinking creature within 30ft., and also try to read the mind of any one such creature nearby. They all have the stipulation, in every edition "it is blocked by 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood or dirt" to help a savvy DM keep them from breaking the game (as all of them are level 1 spells, aside from Thoughts, which is second). Find Traps works as this. Contrary to the name, it does not actually find any traps, it just lets you know if there are any mechanical or magical traps within line of sight of you inside the spell's range. It also only detects traps that were deliberately set, so natural hazards that are otherwise identical to traps won't be detected. It's generally regarded as a completely useless spell. Paladins in 5th Edition get Divine Sense, which allows them to know the location of any celestial, fiend, or undead that's within 60 feet of them and not behind total cover. Under most circumstances, they can probably already see any creatures that would be detected by the ability, so it's largely only useful for confirming that a being is what it appears to be. Rangers in 5th Edition get the Primeval Awareness ability at 3rd level, which lets them burn a spell slot in order to automatically know if there are any aberrations, celestials, dragons, elementals, fey, fiends, or undead within a one mile radius of the ranger. It doesn't tell the ranger anything else, such as how many there are or in what direction they happen to be.

Toggle it one way and it detects any liquid waste, the other and it detects solid waste. It's incredibly sensitive, able to find things that are nearly (or entirely due to physics engine weirdness) invisible, and can even detect dangerous living organisms or anchors for most incorporeal malignant entities. While it's theoretically possible to get almost any area perfectly clean without using your detector (provided you're painstakingly careful never to make the slightest extra mess yourself), detector sweeps aren't really optional.

How it picks these up and ignores everything else is never explained other than "It's just a game, relax." In Diamond and Pearl, in the Sinnoh Underground, you also have a "radar" which lets you find things buried in the ground and walls. These can be both traps and "orbs," which you use to buy things down there. PokÃ©mon Colosseum has a character that can detect an "aura" around Shadow Pokemon.

The Little Detecto / int_bf1a4389	comment	In Mistborn Adventure Game, bronze Allomancers (also known as Seekers), can detect Allomancy. The most basic level is simply being able to sense when Allomancy is being used and who's using it, but more skilled Seekers can detect what metal is being burned, whether or not it's being flared, which emotions a Soother or Rioter is trying to affect, and even how much metal the Allomancer has left.

The Little Detecto / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: In "The Time Monster", the Doctor tracked down the Master with a device that Jo christened "a TARDIS sniffer-outer". "The Android Invasion", in which androids are passing as humans, has a robot detector. It's a small box with a single red indicator light on it. "Blink" memorably featured the timey-wimey detector. It goes "ding" when there's stuff. "The Day of the Doctor": The Tenth Doctor has a gadget intended to detect Zygons. However, it's not quite as reliable as he'd like.

It tells her when Reggie is drugged, though that data was tampered with and she had to recover the originals, and also tells her that Takagishi has a weak heart, which is what did him in. She had warned him that his arrhythmia was flaring up, and he had gone on a night mission and had an unfortunate encounter with an octospider.
