History Main / SlaveCollar

''Spiked'' collars generally don't fall under this trope. Nor is it to be confused with the chain I beat you with till you understand who's in ruttin' command here, nor is it the same as the TheChainsofCommanding which is completely unrelated (to this trope, whose old name was Chain Of Command).

* The ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights'' add on 'Shadows of Undrentide' has the player wearing a control collar for at lest on chapter. It shock them if they wander in the wrong direction and [[spoiler: shatters after the death of the slave master]]

* The collar worn by prisoners of ''Manga/DeadmanWonderland'' act as this. While their will is not suppressed and they have some slight freedom, they are forced to participate in the deadly and degrading games of the carnival or die from the collar's poison. It also ensures they do not attempt to rebel or escape, as the result will be death by poison.

* ''LightNovel/TheWorldOfOtomeGamesIsToughForMobs'': Has [[BastardBoyfriend Loic]], a StalkerWithACrush who repeatedly offers one to the heroine of the second dating sim, Noelle, as part of his route's [[MultipleEndings Bad End]]. It's a [[AppliedPhlebotinum magical item]], made from the roots of a WorldTree, coming with a chain that ties to the masters wrist, and whenever the chain [[SummonMagic is summoned]], the victim is magically pulled towards the master. Loic puts it on Noelle, after blackmailing her into wedding him, only for the novels protagonist, Leon, to [[WeddingSmashers crash the wedding]], lop Loic's arm off, and take the master half. Afterwords, [[CasualKink her and Leon flirt using it]], only to be walked in on by his fiancee.

* ''LightNovel/CrestOfTheStars'': All the Baron's maids wear one; just one reason why Lafiel compares them to trained cats.

* As [[spoiler:Ako, Akira and Natsumi]] from ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'' found out in an unfortunate way, people sold into slavery in the Magic World are forced to wear collars that would shock them anytime their master wishes to. And explode if you try to remove them by force. On the other hand, the collars do prevent masters from getting ''really'' abusive, and the shocks are not supposed to be used except in emergencies.

* Often used on cover art as a motif in ''{{Manga/Loveless}}'', though Soubi also has a tattoo across his neck as a symbol of his obedience to Seimei.
** That isn't a tattoo - [[spoiler: Seimei carved his name and the thorns with a knife.]]

* Played with in ''Manga/DotHackLegendOfTheTwilight'', in one episode Shugo receives a dog collar as an event item, since The World has nothing doglike he at first is kinda downed by its apparent uselessness, until Ouka (A werewolf) suggested that he could always put it on her. So while it's not a SlaveCollar per se Ouka... made her suggestion of being Shugos dog/pet pretty clear. From that point onward she wears it in both wolf and human form. And while she doesn't seem to consider herself submissive to him she definitely behaves the other way sometimes. Mostly to tease Shugo.
-->'''Shugo:''' *Annoyed* Are you kidding me, what am going to do with this, you can't raise dogs in The World, can you?\\
'''Ouka:''' You could always... put it on me if you felt like it *Gets close to him while [[strike: suggestive music]] her Character-song plays* I wouldn't mind it flyboy.

* [[TheDitz North Italy]] of ''Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia'' wears one with the Ancient Roman slave costume that he wears for the ''Manga/Hetaween2011'' event.
