The Paralyzer	comment	A non-lethal version of the Touch of Death, this technique allows the character performing it to paralyze parts of a person's body, paralyze the entire person, or simply render them unconscious. There are several common ways to do this: A single judicious strike to the proper area of the body. This is distinct from the Tap on the Head in that the effect is achieved through some sort of nerve manipulation, rather than simple blunt force trauma. This trope is most commonly seen in Chinese wuxia films, but it has made appearances in other media as well. Similar to the Touch of Death, in the Far East this trope stems from the belief that Pressure Points or nerve clusters control the physical functioning of a person's body and that precision manipulation of these points can allow one to manipulate the body itself. A poison or venom. A magic spell or curse. Using telekinesis or a psychic ability to forcibly immobilize or disable someone. Technology of some sort; in science fiction, a phaser or ray gun may be used. Electricity-based attacks, which can impair the nervous system to prevent movement. See Static Stun Gun. This may be used as a non-lethal means of disabling opponents by Technical Pacifists or others who follow the creed of Thou Shalt Not Kill or are laden with some other kind of No-Harm Requirement, or it may simply be used to render opponents helpless so that executing them is made much easier. Compare and contrast Tap on the Head, where it's implied that anyone applying a sufficiently heavy blow is capable of harmlessly knocking a person out, rather than it being a carefully studied technique. If somebody tries to get up and get on with things despite the effects of this, they may find that Bits of Me Keep Passing Out. Compare Forced Sleep and Non-Lethal Warfare.

The Paralyzer / int_13668e6e	comment	In Twig, Gladys Shipman invented a swarm of insects capable of injecting people with poisons that had this effect. Initially, she'd intended to use it as a means of delivering vaccinations en masse, but in order to get budget, she instead marketed it as a nonlethal method of disabling enemies. She later applies similar concepts using spiders, which inject people with paralyzing venom in their sleep and cocoon them in their own flesh, allowing her employers to capture entire downs in one night.

After the technology is perfected the agents use it in place of lethal guns almost exclusively. (How they continue to manufacture and stock this unusual ammunition despite their other resource problems goes unexplained.) The first rifle is initially named, to much ridicule, the "Night-Night Gun", but later they come up with the much cooler acronym I.C.E.R.s.

The Paralyzer / int_3b34143f	comment	Harry Potter: The Full Body Bind Curse, as the name implies, paralyzes opponents while leaving them conscious. Making direct eye contact with a Basilisk is typically lethal, but if non-direct eye contact is made (like in a mirror or reflection), the victim is just Petrified, leaving them paralyzed and apparently unconscious. The Stupefy spell renders the target unconscious when the right amount of power is put into it, and most victims are shown being magically revived with no side effects. Taking multiple hits at once, however, is not advised, especially for older people—Professor McGonagall needed a hospital stay after such an experience in Order of the Phoenix. If the caster if puts enough energy behind the spell or the individual being hit is too weak the spell can be fatal, as it was when Molly Weasley used it against Bellatrix Lestrange in Deathly Hallows.

An expert at this method is "Knocking Master" Jirou. Impact Knocking is a sub-technique performed with bare hands (probably via Pressure Points) as shown by Teppei, the grandson of the aforementioned Jirou. The titular Toriko can use Knocking with the index finger of his "Fork" hand. Jirou uses a technique called "Grand Knocking" which somehow paralyzes THE EARTH ITSELF causing worldwide natural disasters! After he removes the restraining seals, his abilities get even more ridiculous - he gains the ability to paralyze creatures with just his breath, stop flow of time, and even damage in his own body. If something moves - Jirou probably knows, how to stop it with his bare hands.

The Paralyzer / int_3d776ce3	comment	Alpha Protocol has tranquilizer rounds for the pistol, which does fixed (very low) damage against human foes (and even less so against body armour) with its only advantage being that it counts as nonlethal incapacitation. They're even usable against bosses, although they will simply be treated as regular (but much less damaging) bullets against them and subsequent cutscenes will ignore said bosses being hopped up on enough tranquilizer to put a herd of elephants to sleep. This means that if you bring down Darcy with them in the endgame, he'll presumably suffer an allergic reaction to them since he dies anyway.

Chaos Theory has a level where the enemies are equipped with the airfoil rounds. Sam correctly identifies these as "Less-Than-Lethal" weapons; they are definitely not non-lethal. In Chaos Theory, the captain of the ship in the second mission actually dies if you try to knock him out (presumably from a heart condition or something). It doesn't count as a kill in your mission stats, but if you look at his body in thermal vision you can see it cooling down to corpse temperature.

Some of the boss characters are bizarrely resilient to tranquilizer rounds, though, and can take several rounds to the head before passing out, even though Otacon insists that the tranquilizer rounds are potent enough to knock out an elephant. It's worth pointing out that the same bosses can take a similar number of bullets to the head without dying. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (and its sequels Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker) have the Mk22 and Mosin Nagant. The latter is also in MGS4, and Peace Walker also has a stun rod in place of MGS3's knife, as well as a shotgun that fires rubber slugs. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots: You have a Ruger Mk II and can unlock the Solar Gun, which is unable to damage anyone (except Vamp) but is very good at stunning and knocking down opponents. You have a stun knife. You can also stun people by sneaking up on them with Metal Gear Mk. II and smacking them with its manipulator. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain gives us the Wu Silent pistol, which is the silenced tranquiliser pistol that's been a staple of the series since Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and the Urugan-5, which fills the role the Rubber Slug Shotgun did in Peace Walker, except as a 5-shot revolver. It's also possible to develop rifles that fire rubber bullets.

A better reason might be that he wanted to kill the villain, but not in front of the little girl he was rescuing, so he used a fatal technique with a delay.

The Paralyzer / int_605dd875	comment	Stargate-verse: In Stargate SG-1, the team make use of Goa'uld-made semi-lethal stun guns, called "Zat'nik'tel" or "Zats": one shot will knock the target out (originally an Agony Beam but no longer starting around season three), two shots are fatal, and three shots completely vaporize a body or a light object. The show's creators later regretted adding the third function, so the Zat never gets used this way anymore. There are also some training weapons called Intars. An intar is a close replica of another weapon, but with stun bursts instead of whatever the weapon normally fires, and is identifiable by a yellow light on the weapon. (This is because the war games were a know-your-enemy sort of thing; they were first encountered at a Goa'uld mock-up of an army camp, with all the soldiers given human names, etc.) And in Stargate Atlantis, all of the Wraith's handheld weaponry are alien stunners. Justified in that the Wraith need their prey alive, because they "feed" on their human enemies by draining their Life Energy, so they wouldn't want any wasteful deaths. Well, they do have heavier weaponry, but they only break that out in cases of extreme resistance or in order to teach humans a lesson (e.g. such as on Sateda). Ronon's pistol also has various power settings, which at the lower end seem to act in a similar manner. Ronon being Ronon, however, he often has to be reminded to take it off of the highest kill setting. When Sheppard later encounters the Travelers, he finds out that they have the same weapons, implying that Ronon has somehow obtained a Traveler gun (or they both shop at the same arms dealer). The Bedrosians in "New Ground" also have staff-like weapons that fire a yellow knockout blast. Their shields also double as stunners. The Tollan, being Technical Pacifists, equip their security personnel with triangle-shaped stun guns.

They got more and more nerfed with passing editions since, well, a paralyzed opponent is easy to finish off. Although this being a mental effect, a lot of creatures happen to be immune to it. The Forgotten Realms spell paralysis has this effect when the caster touches a victim. Liches can paralyze any creature they touch. This paralysis is permanent unless magically cured and can easily be mistaken for death. Several creatures can do this, like ghouls or ghasts or carrion crawlers or... well, too many to list. Assassins (and most other classes with the ability) can use their Death Attack to paralyze rather than kill. Most don't. In the 1st Edition Oriental Adventures supplement, the Paralyzing Touch martial arts ability allowed the user to paralyze an opponent by putting pressure on specific nerve junctions. The victim couldn't move for up to an hour afterwards.

The Paralyzer / int_6c1d09b3	comment	Fallout 3: If you specialize in Unarmed combat, you can get the ability "Paralyzing Palm" which sometimes makes your VATS unarmed attack freeze the opponent in place. You can even do it to Yao Guais and Deathclaws. The Mesmetron is an experimental weapon that has a 50% chance of stunning someone, a 30% of making them very angry, and a 20% chance of making their head explode. One shot from the Dart Gun will instantly cripple an enemy's legs. It doesn't completely immobilize them but reduces their movement speed to such a slow pace that they might as well be immobilized for all the good it does them. Even Deathclaws become utterly trivial to deal with as they can only plod towards you slowly as you fill them with lead. Which is probably why the Dart Gun did not return in later games.

The Paralyzer / int_81692f99	comment	Star Trek: The Vulcan Nerve Pinch serves as the "render fully unconscious" version of this move and was invented on the spot by Leonard Nimoy, who felt that the blunt trauma Tap on the Head did not fit with Spock's character. Originally, it was explained as a combination of Vulcans' extensive knowledge of pressure points on humanoid species combined with their telepathic abilities, but the latter part is often ignored. For example, Michael Burnham of Star Trek: Discovery, a human raised on Vulcan, can perform the technique fairly well, as can Picard after mind-melding with Sarek. Data can do it too, to Spock's approval, but it's not clear if he learned it from Spock or simply had the needed knowledge of pressure points. At any rate, it is something that can definitely be learned. The Discovery series features a Klingon weapon that paralyzes the victim. It's harmless at first, but if the victim isn't released in time, organs such as the heart and lungs will also be paralyzed, leading to death. In The Original Series, phasers featured a stun setting (which would handily knock out any non-godlike humanoid) and a kill setting which would make things go away (unless, again, the target was just plain immune). In "Omega Glory", Spock is too near the blast radius of a disintegrating phaser shot. He recovers, but from Kirk and McCoy's reactions, there was a good chance that he could have been killed. "The Man Trap" and "The Conscience of the King" featured lethal settings that left a body, with no visible damage, as per typical television standards of the time. Something similar may have featured in "What Are Little Girls Made Of", when an android has a hole shot in it, revealing its electronic workings. Ironically, this is the first episode to show disintegration. On the other hand, phasers also could heat rocks (or heat coffee) as a story might allow, which might have involved a special toast setting unmentioned in the canon media. In one of the episode novelizations, Yeoman Rand uses a phaser on a low setting to heat coffee when the power is out, somewhat to Kirk's surprise (and approval). After The Undiscovered Country, it became canon that movie-era phasers on Stun could kill at point-blank range (to the head). On occasion, phasers have been set to "maximum stun" when facing unusually tough enemies, which is implied to have a higher risk of killing someone. Scriptwriter guidelines for The Next Generation specified hand-phasers had about ten settings, from give someone a headache to vaporize a chunk of granite. They started making marks on walls around 3 or 4. This was later expanded to sixteen settings, with level 3 capable of knocking an average humanoid unconscious for about an hour and level 7 treated as deadly force. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: In keeping with the show's darker tone, the series downplayed phasers as a safe means to disable someone, generally treating them as "minimally lethal" rather than safely non-lethal. With a few early exceptions, phasering someone was always treated as serious rather than a safely reliable Tap on the Head. The justification seemed to be that most non-Federation species (such as the Bajorans or Ferengi) don't have an explicit stun setting on their phasers, and Federation weapons are mentioned as being complex and difficult to maintain compared to everyone else's. In the Star Trek: Enterprise episode "North Star" a mook from a primitive Space Western society puts a revolver to T'Pol's head, holding her hostage. Reed simply stuns T'Pol, then the mook while he's still gaping at Reed's apparently ruthless action. In Enterprise, and sometimes Voyager, phasers and similar weapons can be seen to have no effect at all, maybe causing a slight limp from a shoulder wound (Enterprise pilot). So they work a bit like electrolasers, maybe? Stun grenades, utilizing phaser technology, have been featured in Enterprise. In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Hunted", certain humans in the military of the planet Angosia are altered to increase their fighting abilities and are also resistant to phaser stun. Whether or not being hit by a phaser actually hurts seems to vary depending on story needs. In one Body Horror moment from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, a character turns his phaser, set to kill, on himself and endures an agonizing death as his body is burned away. In the 2009 film, switching a hand phaser to stun actually causes the muzzle to flip itself around; stun shots are fired from a blue lens and kill shots from a red one. Star Trek: Picard. In "The End is the Beginning", one character picks up a Romulan disruptor and uses it on a Romulan assassin. She's never shot anyone before, and is visibly distressed when informed that Romulan weapons don't have a stun setting.

The Paralyzer / int_960062b7	comment	My Hero Academia: Stain's Quirk, Bloodcurdle, allows him to paralyze anyone whose blood he ingests (which he usually does by Licking the Blade after slashing his opponent). The duration of the paralysis depends on the victim's blood type, with type B having the longest duration and O the shortest. Habuko, one of Tsuyu's friends shown in a bonus chapter, has a paralyzing Quirk. However, it requires direct eye contact and only lasts three seconds.

The Paralyzer / int_9a7088bc	comment	In The Original Series, phasers featured a stun setting (which would handily knock out any non-godlike humanoid) and a kill setting which would make things go away (unless, again, the target was just plain immune). In "Omega Glory", Spock is too near the blast radius of a disintegrating phaser shot. He recovers, but from Kirk and McCoy's reactions, there was a good chance that he could have been killed. "The Man Trap" and "The Conscience of the King" featured lethal settings that left a body, with no visible damage, as per typical television standards of the time. Something similar may have featured in "What Are Little Girls Made Of", when an android has a hole shot in it, revealing its electronic workings. Ironically, this is the first episode to show disintegration. On the other hand, phasers also could heat rocks (or heat coffee) as a story might allow, which might have involved a special toast setting unmentioned in the canon media. In one of the episode novelizations, Yeoman Rand uses a phaser on a low setting to heat coffee when the power is out, somewhat to Kirk's surprise (and approval).

Variously classed in either the Alteration school or Illusion school of magic, the spell freezes targets in place or causes them to drop helplessly to the ground for the duration of the spell. As with most spells, it can also be enchanted into a weapon where the effect will trigger on strike. Naturally, most high-level enemies are completely immune to it.

It can be caused by the moves Force Palm, Body Slam, Bounce, Dragon Breath, Glare, Lick, and Stun Spore, as well as numerous electric-type and electric-themed attacks, and a few Abilities. PokÃ©mon Sword and Shield introduces Galarian variants of the Legendary Bird trio that have different secondary typing compared to their Kanto counterparts. Galarian Articuno is a part Psychic type instead of part Ice but still has a Signature Move that inflicts the Freeze status, a status condition that completely immobilizes opponents until it wears off, in the form of Eye Beams. Instead of actually freezing targets, the flavor text states that they're frozen in place by G-Articuno channeling its vast psychic powers.

Some of the boss characters are bizarrely resilient to tranquilizer rounds, though, and can take several rounds to the head before passing out, even though Otacon insists that the tranquilizer rounds are potent enough to knock out an elephant. It's worth pointing out that the same bosses can take a similar number of bullets to the head without dying.

"The Daleks" has the Daleks' weapons shown to have a secondary "stun" function which is used on one of the Doctor's companions. However, it should be noted that the blast does not render him unconscious, it only temporarily paralyzes his legs. In their defense, Ian was pretty stunned when they blasted him. The Fourth Doctor gets knocked out by such a weapon in "The Ark in Space". "Stun guns; I hate them." K9's nose blaster had a stun setting, which the Doctor naturally preferred to the more lethal options. In "Hell Bent", the Doctor snatches the sidearm from a Gallifreyan general. He's told; "That's the sidearm of the President's personal security. There isn't a stun setting." He shoots the General anyway, though not before checking that he's got some regenerations left. So this trope is played straight, yet also averted to show O.O.C. Is Serious Business, as the Doctor doesn't like guns and prefers to avoid killing anyone.

In the immediate sense, death screams were louder than anything short of an explosive, judging by AI reaction to noise. More long term, some NPCs liked taking prisoners or avoiding combat, some liked to shoot things. The game featured a silent "minicrossbow" that fired tranquilizer darts, a riot prod that looked like a stun gun on steroids with a healthy dose of More Power, and tear gas. There was also a baton which was mainly used for one-hit knockout if you could sneak up on someone from behind, though it could be used for a frontal assault if the player was inclined to commit suicide by actually trying to use it on an enemy firing back. The game was inconsistent when determining the casualties caused by the player, however, occasionally marking the player as overly violent because of how many targets had been 'removed' from combat rather than how many had been killed outright.

There's also General Blue's secret technique which consists of a paralysis-inducing gaze. However, he must keep his focus on his target, or else the technique will be dispelled.

The Paralyzer / int_d1ee3220	comment	Spectrum-issue sidearms have a stun setting in Gerry Anderson's New Captain Scarlet, which is a mild bowdlerisation from the original 1960s version. It is mild because they also have a clearly-marked KILL setting which appears to be the default, and the on-screen body count is not noticeably lower.

During a flashback, Hayate tosses a bunch of needles in the air in slow-mo, then is able to grab them one at a time and jab them into the bad guys' bodies to disable them. During the climax, they use the needles to paralyze the Big Bad and leave him to die when his island base self-destructs.

Justified in that the Wraith need their prey alive, because they "feed" on their human enemies by draining their Life Energy, so they wouldn't want any wasteful deaths. Well, they do have heavier weaponry, but they only break that out in cases of extreme resistance or in order to teach humans a lesson (e.g. such as on Sateda).

The Paralyzer / int_e6267766	comment	Star Wars Legends: Parts of the series note various drawbacks and side effects. The "expanding and shrinking blue rings" special effect is taken to mean that stun settings have far less range than the usual Slow Lasers of kill settings. The Thrawn Trilogy, when Thrawn's forces are out to capture a pregnant Leia, reveals that they can't just stun her, since it sometimes causes miscarriages. In the X-Wing Series Corran Horn is stunned and is conscious but paralyzed until it wears off, unhappily remembering that this happens to him sometimes when he gets stunned. Survivor's Quest has the Aurek Seven stormtroopers checking someone they'd just stunned for heart palpitations. In Star Wars: Allegiance, Mara Jade confronts a shady warehouse dealer who doesn't believe her when she tells him that he's not going to like the penalties for assaulting an Imperial agent. He orders his thugs to restrain her. One of them pokes her with the muzzle of his blaster just before firing; she twists around and uses the Force and some fancy moves to shoot all of the thugs, ending with the one who poked her, with that blaster, and aims it at the warehouse dealer. All very quickly. During Galaxy of Fear, Tash wants an Actual Pacifist to shoot someone with a blaster pistol set to stun, telling her that this isn't breaking the rules of nonviolence, just bending them. In a later book, she takes a blaster from one of Vader's stormtroopers and uses it to resolve a Spot the Impostor plot—and finds that it's set to stun.
