Simply put, a tranquilizer dart is a thin and pointed ranged weapon that pierces the skin and injects a sleep-inducing solution. For some reason, whenever a character gets ambushed with a non-lethal weapon, it's always a tranquilizer dart. Maybe it's because people on drugs are funny. Maybe it's because the writers don't know enough about other non-lethal weapons. Whatever the reason may be, this seems to be the most common non-lethal weapon in fiction. This small projectile, usually fired into the neck or buttocks, seems to put the target to sleep within a minute. The ones that take almost a minute to put the target to sleep are considered slow-acting — the most fast-acting ones give the target only enough time to pull the dart out and stare at it in realization before falling asleep. Often delivered by an automatic gun so that if the first dart has no effect, more darts can be fired in rapid succession until the target is woozy. However, it can also be delivered by a single-shot gun or blowpipe or even just thrown with the hands. The sleep-inducing solution is usually assumed to be contained in an ampoule or capsule attached to the dart, but if it's a toxin, it will be smeared on the dart.note Toxins cannot actually be absorbed through the skin. In fantasy settings, the sleep-inducing solution may be a fictional substance. Like other forms of sedation, tranquillizer darts are subject to Artistic License – Pharmacology: the same dose will work on everyone, they work exactly as fast as the plot demands, are exactly as effective as the plot demands, the effects last exactly as long as the plot demands, they generally have little or no after-effects beyond a slight headache or some residual grogginess, and no one ever dies from overdose. If Played for Laughs, everything will slow down, including the character's voice. Occasionally the dart will have a non-sedative but related effect, delivering a paralytic or amnesiac drug instead, so the target is still conscious but either can't move or won't remember what happened. These are also very common in Video Games for capturing opponents or incapacitating guards. Mostly used by the police, criminals, spies, the army, and island tribes but may occasionally be used by animal control officers. Sometimes the result of a character not being able to be reasoned with due to a Language Barrier. May overlap with Instant Sedation. Often results in Non Sequitur, *Thud* or Involuntary Smile of Incapacitation. Sister trope to Knock Out Gas which works better for area attacks. Often used in a Knockout Ambush. Sometimes used as Family-Friendly Firearms. For a more violent and equally unrealistic means of knocking someone out, see Static Stun Gun. |

Dune has this come up when Leto finds the Shadout Mapes dying on the floor in the palace and Doctor Yueh shoots him with a dart (at the start of the Harkonnens' raid on Arrakis). Yueh is the family physician, so he knows the duke's body mass, metabolism, and so on. Some reference to the drugging of Jessica and Paul is also made; the Baron stands over Jessica as she comes to and tells her, "The drug was timed." This admission tells her the traitor has detailed and intimate knowledge of her vital statistics. | |

Used frequently in the Monster Hunter series, with Tranq Bombs, Tranq S bowgun ammo, and even Tranq Throwing Knives, required for monster capture quests. The monster has to be weakened to the brink of death for them to work, and the effects will only kick in if the monster's in a trap. | |

In “The Carpals in the Coywolves� on Bones, Oliver accidentally tranquilizes Hodgins. It’s calibrated for a coyote, which is much smaller than an adult human male, so it doesn’t knock him out, just leaves him dopey for a bit. He later retaliates and tranquilizes Oliver, and the intern ends up with his shirt off, acting a bit weird. Suffice to say it was a Played for Laughs thing. | |

Chuck: Every time tranquilizers are used, unless the victim is Badass Normal Casey. When they have to tranquilize Jeff and Lester, Lester goes down instantly but Jeff takes multiple darts and a few minutes to lose consciousness. Jeff is a bigger guy and his past drug use made him more resistant. The eponymous character himself is more wont to use tranquilizer darts as opposed to actual guns to (temporarily) take out bad guys. They always cause harmless Instant Sedation. |

Although Dexter consistently uses a syringe up-close, there is one episode involving a tranquilizer dart. The target is an animal control worker who is holding a tranquilizer gun loaded to take down an alligator. Presumably resistant to the effect of tranquilizers from personal experience, he has enough time to tranquilize Dexter before he collapses. Dexter also has a bit of time to pull the dart out before losing consciousness. They both wake up in an ambulance with some really worried EMTs. | |

James Bond: The World Is Not Enough has a tranq pistol in a few infiltration-based missions, though it lasts only for a few seconds before a sedated mook starts getting back to his feet. Instead, Bond needs to sheathe his weapon, walk over and land a few extra punches on anyone he tranquilized. Agent Under Fire, NightFire, and Everything or Nothing use these in stealth missions where lethality isn't an option... or where shooting, even with a Hollywood Silencer, will still cause guards to cry out in pain. Uniquely, Everything or Nothing is the only game in which the dart-gun appears in more than one level. |

The Simpsons: When Bart is "taken" by a monkey at a local zoo, Homer tries to save him by putting a tranq-dart into a tube and putting it into his mouth. He then inhales, and it gets self-explanatory after that. In "The Call of the Simpsons", Homer is mistaken for Bigfoot and tranquilized. He has enough time to say "Avenge my death, son," before falling asleep, snoring noticeably. In "Much Apu About Nothing", Barney is shot with a bear tranquilizer dart. He actually pulls out the dart and drinks the remaining sedative before passing out averting Instant Sedation. Marge is tranquilized in "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Marge" and falls down instantly but it turns out she was faking, shocking the doctor who blew the darts at her as the dart had "enough tranquilizer to take down John Winston". Homer blows one at her and she falls asleep. Chief Wiggum tranquilizes Sideshow Bob in "The Great Louse Detective". While he doesn't fall asleep immediately, he does immediately start acting woozy. |

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty: Snake infiltrates the tanker armed only with a modified Beretta M9 designed to fire anesthetic darts. Suitable weaponry for infiltrating a tanker filled with loyal US Marines, less suitable weaponry for infiltrating a tanker now filled with faceless terrorists. It's possible to find a "PSG1-T", a version of the Sniper Rifle that fires tranquillizer darts, and the end game high-frequency blade has a stun setting (beating people with the blunt side of the blade, presumably). These exist solely to enable Pacifist Runs. |

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. | |

Jurassic Park: Rampage Edition limited Dr. Grant exclusively to non-lethal guns like tranquilizers, tasers, grenades and sedative-laced rockets, only the last of which put down dinosaurs indefinitely. The Actionized Sequel Rampage Edition added in some more deadly guns and removed the possibility for enemies to get back up (they'll still flash and disappear even if you are just using the tranq guns on them). | |

Used in three episodes of the Total Drama series: In "Search and Do Not Destroy", Owen comes back to the campgrounds sticking out of a bear's mouth. Chris uses the darts to sedate the bear, but he gets Owen, too. In "Wawanakwa Gone Wild!", Izzy uses the darts in a gun to try and bring down the animal she has to capture, a deer. Unfortunately, Heather is hiding behind a bush wearing deer antlers — Izzy only sees the antlers and tranquilizes her by mistake. In "Dial M for Merger", Duncan gets shot in the neck with a dart when the interns have to drag the remaining contestants to a cave as part of the challenge. |

In Dave the Diver, the Hush Dart is a small pistol that can tranquilize most small fish and some medium fish allowing them to be captured alive for better rewards (an upgrade eventually allows it to work on larger creatures as well). Additionally, the underwater rifle, sniper rifle and triple axel all have a Tranquilizer variant which has a chance to tranquilize any creature with the downside being a risk of killing them since these guns also deal damage to them. | |

You can craft these in ARK: Survival Evolved, an arrow-based version for your bow and crossbow and two bullet-based versions for the longneck rifle. Despite the numerous fantastical elements in the game, these darts are treated fairly realistically — larger creatures need multiple darts to knock unconscious, and the effect isn't instantaneous (though still extremely fast, but that's a concession to gameplay). | |

Second Sight has people staggering around for a few moments after being hit with tranquillizer darts,then reacting like they have been punched in the chest and falling over. Hitting them in the head takes them down instantly. It's worth noting that on the few occasions where you're shot with one yourself, it slowly saps your health rather than knocking you out (although the game treats knocked out enemies more or less the same as dead ones and the cutscenes that play after you're defeated would indicate that you survive whatever takes you down). | |

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 has a sequence where Rocket deals with a bunch of attackers using traps including tranq dart launchers. In this case Instant Sedation makes sense, since the dart launchers almost look like military missile launchers and thus each victim gets hit with almost a dozen darts at once. | |

The Pink Berets from Hop have blowguns with sedative darts as their primary weapon. A patrolman near the Hollywood sign gets one dart to the neck, resulting in Instant Sedation. Two large dogs living beside a mansion where the Pink Berets' quarry is staying also get one dart each. Finally, The Hero discovers them in the mansion's kitchen, whereupon he receives a salvo of six darts to the face. | |

Metal Gear: Metal Gear Solid: Hitting somebody in the head or the heart with the tranquilizing weapons (that is, not the stun grenades or the taser-like weapons) knocks out instantly while hitting the belly or the limbs delays the effect. 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 2: Sons of Liberty: Snake infiltrates the tanker armed only with a modified Beretta M9 designed to fire anesthetic darts. Suitable weaponry for infiltrating a tanker filled with loyal US Marines, less suitable weaponry for infiltrating a tanker now filled with faceless terrorists. It's possible to find a "PSG1-T", a version of the Sniper Rifle that fires tranquillizer darts, and the end game high-frequency blade has a stun setting (beating people with the blunt side of the blade, presumably). These exist solely to enable Pacifist Runs. |

James Bond Goldfinger. While Bond is helplessly strapped to a table, Kisch renders him unconscious with a tranquilizer dart pistol. Octopussy: Octopussy's Amazon Brigade use these against Kamal Khan's henchmen when they storm his palace. It's probably meant to show her criminal organization is much nicer in comparison, never mind that male criminal organisations that Bond allied himself with in previous movies weren't so delicate. Never Say Never Again. James uses a sleep-poisoned blowgun dart on a Mook guard during Unwinnable Training Simulation opening. |

The Business from Fortuna in Warframe sells tranq rifles used for animal conservation across the game's landscape areas. These rifles shoot darts that travel in arcs and cause animals hit with them to fall unconscious in seconds, ready to pick up by a drone. Most critters need just one tranq to pacify regardless of size, though heavier ones like stovers may require up to three. | |

In Guardian Blue, a Zootopia fanfic, tranq darts are frequently used by the ZPD, but they're shown to have their limitations: In Season 1, part of the plot revolves around the season's Big Bad spiking elephants' ice cream with a substance to render them immune to tranq darts after he turns them savage. In Season 3, Cherry armours herself against tranq darts by spraying her fur with epoxy. The first time she takes on the ZPD, Judy and Nick only manage to take her down by putting darts in her joints - the few areas she couldn't epoxy. The second time, Chief Tora has to pin her down before Judy and Nick can tranq her again.. Also from Season 3, it's mentioned that tranquilizers can be health hazards, which is why ZPD Medic Surikata panics and gives Cherry a tranq diffuser - though he should have asked why they'd dosed her so much. Judy also figures that the reason Clawhauser is the only Precinct 1 officer other than her to have killed someone in the line of duty is because he tranqed a suspect and it reacted badly to them, resulting in their death. |

Dungeons & Dragons naturally has its share of this (especially in earlier editions with their plentiful save-or-die effects, where merely falling unconscious for an hour or two from a single failed saving throw could be considered positively merciful). The most iconic example are probably drow hand crossbows and their small but typically sleep drug-coated quarrels. Fiend Folio. The red urchin fired spines tipped with a venom that put victims that failed a saving throw to sleep for 1-4 minutes. |

The Predator: While trying to tranq a runaway Predator, Casey Bracket slips on top of a swerving bus and tranquilizes herself in the foot. Instant Sedation is averted, but she's out for what's implied to be hours. Considering the dose was calibrated for a seven-foot-tall Nigh-Invulnerable space alien, she's kinda lucky she woke up at all. Quinn McKenna uses the same tranquilizer rifle to threaten the mercenary who kidnapped his son. When the merc asks how Quinn could possibly kill him with a non-lethal weapon, Quinn puts the dart into his eye. |

Fallout 3 has the Dart Gun, a makeshift crossbow that fires throwing darts (the kind used in pubs) tipped with radscorpion venom. The damage is pitiful, but it cripples the target's limbs completely, preventing them from moving or fighting effectively (note that radscorpion venom administered the natural way — from a radscorpion stinger — causes damage over time, not paralysis). | |

Stargate SG-1: Tranq guns are used in "Hathor" by O'Neill and Carter to neutralize male soldiers enthralled by Hathor without killing them. As usual, sleep is instantaneous. In "In the Line of Duty", when Sam/Jolinar gets tranqued twice, the first case with "enough to knock out an elephant," it takes a minute before she's out. In one episode Daniel tranquilizes Osiris, and she pulls the dart out, looks annoyed, goes and activates some transporter rings, then leaves in a spaceship. The last shot of her shows that she's just a tad off-balance, and that's about two minutes after getting shot. Note that he's using a Goa'uld-specific sedative. The same Goa'uld-specific sedative proves completely inefficient against Kull warriors, however, even though the trinium-tipped darts can pierce their special armor. In the later seasons, people are using tranq darts all the time and they often knock the victim out in less then a second, and occasionally cause the victim to throw themselves away from the dart. |

In the first trailer for Zootopia, Judy uses one on Nick after he trips her. This is clearly a case of Artistic License – Biology, because the trailer goes out of its way to identify the dart as an "air-powered elephant tranquilizer" which would be clearly fatal if used on a small fox. Also, the sedative appears to be in the feathered end, as a wildebeest eats that part while Judy is arresting Nick and keels over before she has a chance to warn it. | |

Phineas and Ferb: In the episode "Bad Hair Day", multiple are fired to subdue what seem to be orangutans (actually accidental victims of the boys' latest invention). However, only two people are hit. An Animal Control worker, and Doofensmirtz. While the worker barely has enough time to say he's going to pass out, Doofenshmirtz is able to make it most of the way through a musical number he himself sings, then passes out (in 17 seconds as he predicts). | |

In The Journeyman Project, a robot tranquilizes Agent 5 just after he enters one of the time zones, and he has to make an antidote to neutralize it before exploring the rest of the time zone. When the dart is analyzed, the tranquilizer in question is listed as dimenhydrinate, which would presumably render Agent 5 unconscious, rather than kill him. Later on, Agent 5 can also steal the robot's dart gun and use it to take down the Big Bad at the endgame. | |

Batman Before they learned about each others' secret identity, Bruce Wayne tried to pull this on Clark Kent so he could change into his cape and cowl. This was when Bruce finally realized Clark was Superman. Batman also used an incredible amount of darts in Batman: The Cult. In fact, he loaded turrets and rifles with them, basically using them in pretty much the same way everyone else would use bullets. It sure is lucky that nobody can die from the wrong dosage of sedatives, eh? |

Gargoyles: When Brooklyn is tranquilized, he goes down almost instantly, but is still blinking groggily when he's dragged away — so it put him out completely either slowly or not at all. Goliath gets hit with a dart in "Awakening Part III", which only slows him down for awhile. It does incapacitate him enough he can't get to safety before dawn and Eliza has to distract the guys who did it. |

Lost In an episode, Sayid is shot twice with tranquilizing darts. He pulls one dart out and we're led to believe that the trope is playing straight until he surprises the shooter, who approached him to confirm unconsciousness. Used in a lot of other episodes, featuring darts, gas and chloroform. Namely, some episodes in this respective order are: "Live Together, Die Alone", "Left Behind" and "Something Nice Back Home". |

The Venture Bros.: In general, one of The Monarch's preferred weapons for him and his minions. He has knockout darts for his nemesis and lethal darts for his minions. You would think he has this backwards, but no. Subverted in the first episode; Brock takes about a dozen butterfly darts, and only goes down when hit with a truck. Of course, it is Brock. The pirate captain has an addiction to tranquillizer darts in the episode "The Lepidopterists". 24's attempt to kill Hank in the episode "Tears of the Sea Cow" are averted because he didn't know his rifle only shot tranquillizer darts. |

Liam has just enough time to identify the sedative before he, too, is shot and goes under. Later on, they have to collect a sample of it (it's a type of honey made by a particular bee, which is so potent that even a small amount contains enough sugar to induce a temporary diabetic coma) to exploit its faux-sedative properties. | |

Metal Gear Solid: Hitting somebody in the head or the heart with the tranquilizing weapons (that is, not the stun grenades or the taser-like weapons) knocks out instantly while hitting the belly or the limbs delays the effect. 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. | |

Specimen Zero has a tranq gun as an alternative weapon. Which proves to be far more effective than the shotgun — monsters in the game barely slows down even when hit by bullets, whilst tranquilizer darts when hitting a monster's cranium will knock it unconscious for 90 seconds. | |

Serenity: In the climactic battle when Kaylee is tranquilised by Reavers. She takes three darts to the neck. Although she quickly begins to feel shaky, she can still hurry (albeit with Simon's help) into the corridor behind and continues to stand, shielded from Reavers by Simon while Zoe and Jayne struggle to close the blast doors. Only when Simon helps lie her down does she comment she's beginning to lose feeling. Even then, the Final Battle between Mal and the Operative has to take place and Mal return for us to spot that Kaylee, while not moving very much at all, is still conscious. | |

Madagascar: Alex, Marty, Melman, and Gloria are all tranquilized when they are caught by the animal control while inside New York City's Grand Central Station. Alex hallucinates and sees trippy imagery set to Sammy Davis Jr.'s "The Candyman"... Then he gets tranq'd again before he gets put into the shipping crate, resulting in a sped-up version of the aforementioned sequence! In the third film, all four of the Zoosters (and Julien) are tranquilized right after they return to the Central Park Zoo. |

There's not much worry about overdosing as the attackers are planning to kill him anyway, they just want him immobilized for a bit before they finish him off, and the darts are really just to make it hard for him to fight back. | |

Staple in Butler Parker, Parker himself usually delivered them through his blowdgun-umbrelly, though he also had ballpoint pens capable of shooting them and in early issues also used a real blowgun. Also, he had similar darts (pins) hidden in the seats of his retooled taxi (to be deployed at the press of a button) and in different forms as needles both in his arsenal and that of his associates. | |

In Ninja Gaiden (NES), after Ryu takes care of the first boss, he is approached by Irene Lew (who goes unnamed at that point). He tells her to go away, and she appears to comply...only to pull out a tranquilizer gun and tranquilize Ryu. Since a bang is heard, and you only see Ryu’s shocked face, it would seem as if Ryu died. Cue Act 2, where Ryu wakes up in a cell, and Irene gives Ryu a statue, telling him to escape. This begins the next stage. | |

JC's mini-crossbow in Deus Ex can be loaded with Tranquilizer Darts which can knock a target out cold indefinitely when shot in the head, otherwise the victim will run around yelling for help before falling unconscious. When the PC is shot with a tranquilizer dart, it causes the screen to darken and sway, but the nanotechnology takes care of the venom fairly rapidly. Of course, the game is about lies and conspiracy and those tranquilizer darts are in all probability some form of lethal poison. Which is why you take damage when you are hit by them. | |

Even though she manages to stay awake long enough to pull the tranq out of her forehead and give it back to Schwoz and Henry, it only takes less than 15 seconds for her to start slurring her speech, faint, and go unconscious. | |

Played realistically in The Andromeda Strain: when Hall has to get from the fifth to the fourth level of the Wildfire lab through the core area, he runs afoul of the automated defenses, which shoot tranquilizer darts at him and also fill the core with tranquilizer gas. However, the doses are calibrated for an escaped lab animal like a rhesus monkey; Hall is ten times heavier, so the tranqs take a long time to affect him. After he completes his task he collapses from the accumulated effects of the drug, and nearly dies before the others get him onto life-supporting machines. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Oz is a frequent victim of these, what with him being a werewolf. Over the course of the series he gets shot six times with a tranquilizer dart: "Phases", "Beauty and the Beasts", twice in "The Zeppo", "Wild at Heart" and "New Moon Rising". Giles gets shot with a tranquilizer dart meant for Oz when Buffy is thrown off the mark by the intended target's girlfriend. Willow tranquilizes her vampire counterpart in "Doppelgangland". |

Played with in an episode of Stargate Atlantis. Ford is hit with a dart, pulls it out and seemingly collapses immediately. The villains move in to restrain him, only for him to suddenly wake up and attack, indicating that he was either only stunned for a moment, or he may have been playing possum to draw them in. | |

Lone Wolf: Drugged darts are used by Maouk, the Sharnazim Captain, in Shadow on the Sand to take out Lone Wolf without a fight. In the same book, Lone Wolf can use a blowpipe and tranquillizer dart on a guard; the effects are instantaneous. |

Family Guy: In "The Thin White Line", Peter's boss devises a contest for the company picnic, which involves taking shots at the employees with a tranq rifle and seeing who can last the longest. Most of the employees drop like stones the moment they get shot... except for Peter, who ends up with more than a dozen tranquillizer needles stuck in him, and still manages to stay conscious long enough to win the contest. It would seem that this is either due to his relatively high body mass, which (in theory) would require longer for the chemicals to spread through his body, or due to the increased amount of fatty deposits, which would help isolate the venom from his bloodstream. In "A Very Special Family Guy Freakin' Christmas", when Stewie manages to calm down Lois after she reaches her Rage Breaking Point and goes on an anti-Christmas rampage, Peter still asks for the police to tranquilize her. Come Christmas morning, she's still loaded with what Peter claims is enough tranquillizer to bring down a bull elephant. |

Deus Ex Universe: JC's mini-crossbow in Deus Ex can be loaded with Tranquilizer Darts which can knock a target out cold indefinitely when shot in the head, otherwise the victim will run around yelling for help before falling unconscious. When the PC is shot with a tranquilizer dart, it causes the screen to darken and sway, but the nanotechnology takes care of the venom fairly rapidly. Of course, the game is about lies and conspiracy and those tranquilizer darts are in all probability some form of lethal poison. Which is why you take damage when you are hit by them. Adam Jensen continues, or rather sets the precedent for JC to follow in Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and has access to a tranquillizer rifle. |

HOUBA! On the Trail of the Marsupilami The trope is exaggerated with Dan Geraldo, who gets dozens of blowpipe darts in the face before fainting. Later played straight with tranq darts fired by a rifle, which take out the Marsupilami (as well as a soldier by accident). |

Friends: Phoebe is accidentally tranquilized in the backside. She never passes out, though she does comment that her buttock is asleep (and that the other one has no idea). Of course, the dart was intended for a very small monkey, so there probably wasn't much juice in there anyway. | |

An episode of the documentary series Fatal Attractions (2010) gave a good illustration of how these work in Real Life. When a man was discovered keeping a full-grown tiger in a New York City public-housing apartment, a NYPD officer rappelled down from the roof to tranquilize the tiger through the window. When he did, the tiger immediately charged, hitting the wall with such force that the entire building shook. Only then did the tranquilizer take effect, enabling officers to safely remove the tiger from the building. | |

Agent Under Fire, NightFire, and Everything or Nothing use these in stealth missions where lethality isn't an option... or where shooting, even with a Hollywood Silencer, will still cause guards to cry out in pain. Uniquely, Everything or Nothing is the only game in which the dart-gun appears in more than one level. | |
