Vampires are repelled by garlic, whether flowers, bulbs, cloves or juice, and may be weakened by its presence. This is one of the oldest vampire tropes, dating back to medieval Europe. Surprisingly, the vampiric aversion to garlic has some basis in biology: The 'burn skin on contact' version of this trope is similar (if exaggerated) to real life garlic allergies. Additionally, garlic contains allicin, a potent anti-biotic and anti-fungal agent, and has been proven to kill mosquitos—i.e., real-world vampiric insects. In particular, though, is its use in preservation, particularly pickling. Much like salt, compounds in garlic can ward off decay, and therefore thought to drive off the undead. However, that hasn't prevented it from becoming a Discredited Trope in more recent fiction, where vampires often demonstrate, contrary to superstition, that they can eat garlic for lunch. Even those works often nod to tradition by making one certain vampire allergic to garlic. As with most Vampire Tropes, this device was popularized by Bram Stoker's Dracula, in which Van Helsing gives garlic flowers to Lucy as a protection against the Count. Beforehand, the use of garlic as an amulet against the supernatural in world folklore was not strictly restricted to vampires specifically; it also served to ward off other creatures such as witches, werewolves, and The Fair Folk, as well as to prevent curses and bad luck. A Sub-Trope of Supernatural Repellent and Weaksauce Weakness. Compare to Garlic Is Abhorrent. |

The Scary Godmother comic miniseries Wild About Harry has Harry the Werewolf ordering pizzas while staying at the residence of Count Max, Countess Ruby and their son Orson. He considers ordering a pizza with garlic as a topping with no regard to the family being vampires, which Max is understandably furious about. | |

Adventure Time vampires are likely vulnerable to garlic, considering that Peppermint Butler includes a "super garlic bomb" in his vampire-hunting kit (along with a regular clove). We never get to see the bomb's effect, since it gets accidentally dropped and broken when there are no vampires nearby. In the spin-off Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake, the garlic bombs are the main weapons used by Princess Bubblegum in an alternate universe where vampires rule the land, and are shown to kill all of the vampire minions nearby. Similarly, Huntress uses garlic bulbs in the point of her arrows. |

In Sluggy Freelance Vorpyr-type vampires are killed by cutting their heads off and stuffing their mouths with garlic, Aylee hilariously misremembered it as "cut off their feet and stuff onions up their butts". In a later arc a Vrykolatkas (who lack that weakness) paralyzes two Vorpyrs with aerosolized garlic oil. | |

In Monstra it's explained that garlic is more of a common allergen to vampires then an outright ward since their heighten senses don't work well with it's potent smell, causing them to sneeze which disrupts their concentration and their powers. They can ward them off easily however though physical means (merely covering their noises and knocking the garlic aside) and smaller bits aren't that effective on them, meaning they can eat things like pizza with it without effect. | |

In Kevin & Kell, when Desdemona, a vampire bat (analogous to vampires in this World of Funny Animals), was asked if vampire bats are repelled by garlic, she replies that they actually aren't, it's just that garlic breath messes up a bat's sonar, so that's how the myth got started. | |

The villagers who gather at Chagal's inn in Tanz Der Vampire certainly believe this, with an entire show-opening ode to garlic as a cure-all for everything from old age to erectile dysfunction, followed by a certain caginess around admitting to the local presence of vampires at all. The actual vampires of the setting seem more or less unfazed by it, suggesting it's a desperate placebo on the villagers' part. | |

In Vampire Girl, this is one of the reasons Levana has for disliking being a vampire, as this greatly limits her diet of foods she can consume without otherwise having to worry about any fatal consequences.

The second Teacher's Pet Halloween Episode, "The Tale of the Tell-Tale Taffy", had a sub-plot where a black cat named Spooky had been brought into the house by Leonard and Mr. Jolly worried that Spooky was a vampire. Mr. Jolly at one point wears garlic around his neck to try and ward off Spooky, but Spooky actually likes it. Spooky later turns out to be an actual vampire when Mr. Jolly and Pretty Boy force him out of the house and he turns into a bat before flying away, disproving any prior assumptions that the garlic didn't work because Spooky wasn't really a vampire. | |

Whateley Universe: Played with in the character of Vamp. Shortly after arriving at WhateleyAcademy, Vamp is confronted by Pucelle over their previous encounter in Bostonnote Vamp had been set up for drug offenses by her middle school teacher, escaped when her powers manifested, and got recruited/blackmailed into serving as a henchman of The Necromancer, before turning State's witness - all between the ages of 13 and 15. One of their capers ended up involving Pucelle, who was in Boston for complicated reasons. In the middle of this bitchfest, Vamp stops suddenly to ask her new main squeeze, XO, to remember to pick up some garlic in case she goes Drunk on the Dark Side again like she had that time in Boston. Pucelle takes note of this, and when she next confronts Vamp, she shoves a string of garlic bulbs in her face - which Vamp thanks her for, saying she loves garlic. She's Actually Not a Vampire, you see, but she likes garlic so much that it is one of the things which can snap her out of her frenzies, so she was actually asking XO to help her if she flipped out again. | |

When he asks for grated cheese, they slip him shredded garlic, which he liberally put onto his meal. He nearly chokes on it, but other than that is Ok. Turns out he was the Head Vampire, but 1) garlic doesn't actually work, and 2) he was invited in by the homeowner. Ooops!! | |

The conversation then descends into whether or not you should put garlic on a steak. Somehow, they end up trying to use celery. In Witches Abroad, garlic sees off the vampire attempting to attack the witches at the Ãœberwald inn ... in the sense that Granny Weatherwax is so offended by Nanny Ogg eating garlic sausage in bed that she throws it out the window, where it hits the vampire in bat form. The Magpyrs in Carpe Jugulum have trained themselves out of this, as they have all vampire weaknesses. It's a very Discussed Trope in the book as well. All Myths Are True but the Discworld is powered by belief (As in Gods Need Prayer Badly) so there's people discussing on how to kill off a vampire permanently requires stuffing their mouth full of garlic or hammering carrots in their ears.

Forever Knight. Don Schanke has been chewing garlic, and as a practical joke breathes on his partner Nick Knight, who unknown to him is a Vampire Detective. Nick visibly staggers to Schanke's amusement. Nick is also shown trying garlic pills that Natalie has given him in an attempt to ween him off his vampirism, only to regurgitate them immediately. | |

Universal Monsters: In book 1, Captain Bob tries to use this against a vampirized Devin Chavarria. Unfortunately, she's able to keep him from hitting her with it. It later helps against Dracula in bat form, but less so when he attacks the Chavarria house; Captain Bob then uses it successfully in the penultimate battle, as it burns him. It's also found that putting garlic and a cross around Devin, while she's unconscious, will start to revert her to human. They have to stay in place or she'll start to turn back though. | |

At one point in the Diana Tregarde novel Children of the Night, Diana's agent tried to invoke this trope with a delivery from his favorite Jewish deli — garlic bread, garlic bagels, chicken soup loaded with garlic ... along with a note telling her to keep Andre away from her neck. Diana laughs so hard she almost drops the bag. (Andre is unaffected, and almost as amused.) | |

Fanboy and Chum Chum: This particular vampire weakness comes up in the episode "Fangboy", where Fanboy believes himself to have become a vampire after waking up with a mosquito bite on his neck. After attempting to bite his friend Chum Chum so he can become a vampire, too, Fanboy notices that Chum Chum doesn't have a neck and decides to go to a neck specialist named Dr. Acula so that Chum Chum can get one. Fanboy gives Dr. Acula a garlic necklace in case he has to defend himself from Fanboy, Fanboy not being aware that Dr. Acula is an actual vampire. | |

It ends up causing Drac to pass gas rather than any serious harm. It's also revealed that garlic affects Mavis the same way when she tries the guacamole and ends up breaking wind, much to her mortification and her husband Johnny's amusement. | |

DuckTales (2017): Violet, who is well-versed in magic, wears a garlic necklace when preparing for supernatural trouble (reasoning that it's only a matter of time until vampires do show up), and when they confront Magica, the most powerful sorceress, she eats the garlic and declares Violet is now susceptible to vampires. An actual vampire appears 2 episodes later, but he is never shown displaying this sort of weakness. | |

In My Monster Secret, the protagonist Youko is a half-vampire, so the usual vampire weaknesses are underplayed for laughs. In case of garlic, it simply makes her eyes sting. However, we later meet her full-blooded father, and his reaction is pretty much the same, only exaggerated. | |

In Witchery, some anti-vampire equipment is made with garlic, and garlic can also be strung up into garlands that can be placed to repel vampires. Bewitchment's vampires take damage when standing on garlic crops or holding garlic, and garlic can be used as a material for rituals and items that repel all unholy creatures, not just vampires. | |

Deconstructed in The Vampire Files, in which Jack points out that using a bad smell against something that doesn't actually need to breathe is stupid. He also notes that, in traditional folklore of the part of Europe where this trope originated, garlic is alleged to be a cure for everything, so using it against vampires may just be an extension of that broader belief. | |

Downplayed in The Sims 3. Vampires are fine with garlic as long as they don't actually ingest it, whether directly (in a food that contains garlic), or secondhand (by ingesting the plasma of a person who recently ate something that had garlic in it). Even then, the garlic only makes vampires ill, and generally not in a life-threatening (unlife-threatening?) way. In The Sims 4, unless vampires have the Garlic Immunity power, vampires will be too uncomfortable to drink plasma while under the effects of garlic's stench. |

The Magpyrs in Carpe Jugulum have trained themselves out of this, as they have all vampire weaknesses. It's a very Discussed Trope in the book as well. All Myths Are True but the Discworld is powered by belief (As in Gods Need Prayer Badly) so there's people discussing on how to kill off a vampire permanently requires stuffing their mouth full of garlic or hammering carrots in their ears. |

Music of the Vampire: Shaggy and Scooby try it again, wearing garlic necklaces for protection when going into a theater at a vampire-themed festival, only to be stopped by an unnamed teen vampire cosplayer who's working at the festival and claims garlic is prohibited in the theater. To get around this, the pair eat the garlic whole, much to the cosplayer's disgust. | |

While the myth of vampires being weak to garlic is known in The Elder Scrolls, it isn't an accurate myth... with one, as far as the vampire in question knows, unique exception: Vicente Valtieri in Oblivion, who suffers a catastrophic reaction to being in close proximity with garlic. It doesn't kill him, but it makes him very easy to kill.note As in his "Weakness to Garlic" causes Damage Strength 100pts, Damage Endurance 100pts, Weakness to Normal Weapons 100%, and Weakness to Magic 100% Admittedly close here is so specific that it's not enough for you to carry it, he must do so — but you only encounter him in the Dark Brotherhood questline, which encourages sneakiness (and the game allows 'reverse pickpocketing' of placing objects in other people's inventories)... Alchemically, garlic has the "Resist Disease" effect, so while it can't be used against vampires, it can be used to create a potion that can prevent you from becoming one. Developing a cure for vampirism also requires a whopping six samples of garlic. |

Averted in an episode of So Weird. Fi confronts a secret cadre of vampires and wields several cloves of garlic against their leader. He takes the garlic and inhales deeply, commenting on how much he likes the scent. He then proceeds to take her homemade crucifix and toss it on a pile of stakes, crosses and other common anti-vampire implements, claiming that none of them work. | |

Rosianna Rabbit has a strip where Harry Hare is a vampire and tries to bite a sleeping Rosianna, only to find out that she's used garlic spray to keep him away. After noticing that she is presently wearing a tampon, Harry settles for instead feeding on Rosianna's menstrual blood, the final panel showing him flying out the window, smiling in content at the satisfaction of earning his red wings. | |

Played differently in Plants vs. Zombies. Garlic is one of your plants available to use against the zombies. He doesn't exactly scare zombies away, but he can, upon being bitten, redirect the zombie eating it away from his lane, making him useful for protecting the plants behind him and redirecting the zombies onto a more dangerous line.' Plants vs. Zombies: Heroes has the Garlic. Any zombie teammate attacking it is forced into the lane on the left, unless it's a Vimpire or Ancient Vimpire, in which the zombie teammate dies instantly instead. |

In How to Hero, legend has it that the very first vampire was very rude at a monster get together and requested blood in lieu of the garlic dish the hostess, a witch had slaved over. As the night went on, the vampire kept doing more rude things until eventually the witch placed several curses on him. One of those curses was vampires' classic weakness to garlic. | |

Chronicles of Darkness: Vampire: The Requiem plays with this trope in a manner similar to its spiritual predecessor; once again, aversion to garlic isn't usually a weakness vampires have, but starting with the Second Edition, it's possible for them to accept part of the Beast in them in order to better keep it in check, at the cost of developing new, unique weaknesses known as "Bane". One of the suggested Banes is an aversion to a specific substance, which can indeed be Garlic. Hunter: The Vigil has this trope invoked by the Cainite Conspiracy, who can use a blood rite to actually make garlic harmful to vampires. |

Averted in the Universal Dracula movie; considering how much influence it had on future Dracula adaptations and vampire depictions in general, it's a surprise that the vampire's weakness to garlic, one of the most iconic aspects of modern vampires, and Van Helsing's use of it to protect Lucy, was replaced with wolfsbane, a poisonous flower more commonly associated with werewolves than vampires (accordingly, it would reappear in The Wolf Man (1941)). | |

Garlic is a weapon option in Vampire Survivors, though its efficacy against vampires is questionable, given that no vampires appear in the game. At any rate, Garlic generates a damaging aura around the player character — not enough to do much against mid- or lategame enemies, but enough to easily handle the Cannon Fodder at the start of a run — and also increases foes' susceptibility to Knock Back or freeze effects, which can combo nicely with other weapons. Garlic can also evolve into the Soul Eater, becoming so pungent that it gains a Life Drain effect. | |

In Hotel Transylvania, Dracula confirms to Jonathan that vampires are harmed by garlic—however, from the way it's explained, it sounds more like your standard food allergy than the standard supernatural reason. Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation retcons this when Ericka tries to kill Dracula by tricking him into consuming guacamole containing garlic oil. It ends up causing Drac to pass gas rather than any serious harm. It's also revealed that garlic affects Mavis the same way when she tries the guacamole and ends up breaking wind, much to her mortification and her husband Johnny's amusement. |

The Dracula Dossier: There are allicin-based weapons available, but since allicin breaks down rapidly they aren't something you can just pull out of a weapon stash someplace. If your Director is using the alternative "Telluric Vampire" build, garlic only has an effect if it was not grown in the vampire's native soil — grabbing a few cloves at a Romanian market before heading after Dracula is a waste of time. | |

Played straight in all Fighting Fantasy books which has vampires as possible encounters, including The Warlock of Firetop Mountain, The Forest of Doom, City of Thieves (1983), House of Hell, Return to Firetop Mountain, Vault of the Vampire (well no doy), Eye of the Dragon and several others, to the point where if you come across garlic at any point in the adventure, you can brace yourself for an encounter against hostile vampires at some point later in the story. However most of the times the garlic is only effective in keeping the vampire at bay, rather than being used as a weapon capable of harming said vampire. | |

One of the suggested Banes is an aversion to a specific substance, which can indeed be Garlic. | |
