Being '''Dragged Off to Hell''' (or if being clever, Descend To A Lower Plane Of Existence) is a common villain fate, especially for those who previously made a [[Deal with the Devil]]. In an inversion of [[Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence]], they are dragged off screaming by some kind of eldritch force (generally in the form of a bunch of arms reaching out for them), leaving no body behind.
Like [[Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence]], it is not irreversible. See [[Like a Badass Out of Hell]].
Line 27:
* Anton Arcane's most despicable act in ''[[Swamp Thing]]'' is {{spoiler|condemning his own niece, Abby, to this horrible fate}}.
* The villains in the [[Tintin]] story ''The Broken Ear'' are dragged off to hell after drowning.
* The final fate of Palpatine in ''[[Dark Empire]]''. Having cheated death by [[Body Surf
* A more mundane variant in ''[[BPRD]]'' in that there's no dimensional transfer, but after Katha-Hem is destroyed {{spoiler|Pope}} is dragged off by the frogs, servants of the [[Eldritch Abomination|Ogdru-Hem]]. When he's next seen he no longer has any desire but to serve them, and may no longer be human.
