History Main / NasalWeapon

Common for characters based on elephants. May involve some weird NoseNuggets. Do not confuse with SprayingDrinkFromNose. Compare SneezeOfDoom.

* ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'' has a RunningGag where Negi unconsciously casts a disarming spell every time he sneezes. Since the spell also effects clothing, this results in everyone around him getting stripped naked by a gust of wind (with larger and larger groups being affected as he becomes stronger).

* The obscure Brazilian superheroine Fire was once described with "green flames coming from her nose" (short before {{Franchise/Superman}} mopped the floor with her - yes, it was one of those stories). Could be weaponized, may or may not have, in any case she has fire breath.

* ''Disney/{{Dumbo}}'': Near the end, Dumbo gets back at the elephants who made fun of him earlier by inhaling peanuts with his trunk and shooting them back at them.

* Three of ''Anime/{{Yatterman}}'''s mechs (Yatter Wan, Yatter King and Yatter Dozilla) use as their main weapon the Pachinko Gun, which makes them shoot giant pachinko balls from their noses.

* Snout Spout from ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse'' and ''WesternAnimation/SheRaPrincessOfPower'' was an Eternian fireman who wore a face concealing helmet in the shape of an elephant's head. He was able to use the trunk to suck up nearby sources of water and squirt it out with the force of a heavy firehose, blasting fires (and enemies) with a jetstream of water.

* In [[{{Monkey}} Monkey Magic]], both Monkey and Pigsy can attack from the air (while riding their magical clouds) with energized nasal snot streams several times the length of a football field.

* A major recurring zoid in ''Anime/ZoidsNewCentury'' was the massive, defense oriented [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Elephender.]] Originally its trunk could generate a defensive shield while it fired from a distance, but when its pilot opted to defect from the Backdraft group so he could face his WorthyOpponent, he moved the shield generator to the Elephendor's ears and put a beam sword in its trunk.

In the hero biz is not only important what your power is, but also how you use it. Outside of ToiletHumor, few things are weirder than using your own nose for attacking, either by using it as a melee weapon, or shooting any kind of projectile from it.

You have your Hero, who can throw fireballs from her hands; the Anti Hero, who can shoot lightning from his eyes; the Villain, who can freeze anyone with her breath. You know, standard stuff. But then you have those that are a little more...quirky.

Most times this is played for laughs for the sheer ridiculousness of the situation, so expect this to be a one-time thing, or for a one-shot character. But sometimes if this becomes something regular then the joke will become repetitive and...it'll just become how they use their attacks.

Examples:

[[AC:{{Anime}} and {{Manga}}]]
* ''Manga/BoboboboBobobo'''s titular character, in what is an intentional parody of ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'', is a master of the "Super Fist Of The Nosehair" style of martial arts, where his own nose hairs are weaponized. The series just gets weirder from there.

* ''Manga/OnePiece''

* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}''. The Tepig family (Tepig, Pignite & Emboar) as well as Turtonator, performs Flamethrower (and presumably their other fire attacks) this way.

* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddparents'' has Timmy wishing for his parents to be superheroes. Most of their powers are parodies of famous ones, so the mother can shoot spiderweb from her nose.
* Tara from ''WesternAnimation/SheZow'' has several mucus based superpowers that she projects from her nose, including the Booger Bomb and the Super Slimy Snot Shot. The squicky nature of her powers is why she never made it as a superhero and ended up becoming a supervillain.

* From ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'' in the episode "Shanghied", where Spongebob and Patrick try to escape from The Flying Dutchman [[ItMakesSenseInContext while grabbing his favorite sock]], the Dutchman catches up to them and tries to shoot flames coming from his nostrils. The Dutchman relents when Spongebob defends himself with the sock.

* Meltus, Glomp, and Lunk from ''WesternAnimation/{{Mixels}}'' all have large noses and allergies, which, combined with their elements, lets them weaponize their abilities. Meltus has fire breath from his nose, Glomp has sticky slime that can propel himself upwards, and Lunk has frozen snot and ice-cold breath.
