'''Potent Pheromones''' are a superpower involving the natural chemicals to induce an abnormal emotional or physical response in another person. The typical example would be [[Smells Sexy|pheromones causing an intense desire for a person]], usually a woman, having an effect that would lead to something close to [[Mind Control]]. The power can also affect organisms in other ways, mentally and physically. |

Pheromones are natural chemicals produced by species that create a social response from creatures of the same species. These chemicals act like hormones outside the body, which can affect the behavior of the receiving organism. Different types of pheromones exist, such as alarm, sex, food trail, and others that can affect behavior and physical body functions. It rather commonly found with insects but can also be found with some vertebrates, plants, and single-cell organisms. It is an element used in fiction where even some would have it as their superpower. |

'''Potent Pheromones''' are a superpower where pheromones are emitted to induce an abnormal emotion or some form of physical response in another person. The typical example would be [[Smells Sexy|pheromones causing an intense infatuation with someone]], usually a woman, having an effect that would lead to something close to [[Mind Control]]. The least intense examples of this ability would be a form of communication between members of the same species. The power can also be used to not only manipulate the emotions of a person but other's bodily functions. There are some odd instances where they can be used much like a weapon or a means of defense. The most extreme instance of this application would be to cause one's death much like a poison. |

* SPH or Space Pheromones, from ''[[ēlDLIVE]]'', are select chemicals released by aliens. These pheromones are used for communication like insects but are more powerful. They can be used to send a signal to a target and can be used as a form of offense. An alien's SPH has a unique scent that's useful for tracking. There is also how it can be augmented by specific equipment to use for combat. Humans cannot use Space Pheromones unless they are implanted with an SPH organ or used as a host for a Montialien. Depending on the species and possible armaments, SPH can come in different forms. Here are examples of varying SPH: |

* Love from ''[[Toriko]]'' can control her pheromones to keep her prisoners in Honey Prison in check and can even affect animals. |

** Chuuta's SPH is shared with a Montialien, which Chuuta needs to have an image to create an attack through Space Pheromones, such as a rope that can immobilize enemies, a beam that freezes a target, and a technique that slices through other SPH. |

Revision as of 23:44, 28 November 2020
This page needs some cleaning up to be presentable. 1. Needs an edit pass for grammar, usage and style. 2. Needs an explanation as to how this is not "Charm Person with a specific delivery system". Without this description, this will be deleted as a specialization of the existing trope. |
This is a Trope Workshop page, still under consideration for creation. Help out by editing the current page, or leave a comment on the Talk page. Trope Workshop Guidelines |
This Trope page is a stub. You can help All The Tropes by expanding it. If you have checked or updated this page and found the content to be suitable, please remove this notice. |
