[[File:356986-XSPIAFN 3409.png|link=Umineko: When They Cry|
When you see someone wearing a collar (particularly the ones made of leather - and we're ''not'' talking about the collar of a shirt!), you can assume that they're under the control of someone else. It's also a popular device to use when brainwashing someone, and it may also be a part of a [[Go-Go Enslavement]] routine. If it's part of a person's normal costume, it's usually intended to suggest that they're sexually adventurous, and often to suggest submission (though dominant types frequently wear them too). It's especially popular with [[Petting Zoo People]] who can justify is as basically the only article of "clothing" associated with animals. This is generally intended as [[Fetish Fuel]] (and will become Fetish Fuel whether it was intended to be or not), because of the connotations of bondage and slavery.

{{examples}}
== Anime and Manga ==
* ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro ni]]'': It happens to Battler at the end of the second arc.
Line 28 ⟶ 27:
* In numerous [[Hentai]]s, naturally.
* Aries from ''[[Fairy Tail]]'' has one. Fitting, since she's been owned by two very unpleasant people. Hers is unusually cute and fluffy.
* ''[[Crest of the Stars]]'': All the Barob's maids wear one; just one reason why Lafiel compares them to trained cats.
* ''[[One Piece]]'' takes it a step further : the collar around the slaves' necks contains a bomb. Should the slave try to run away, the collar will explode, severely wounding (If not outright killing) the poor guy/girl. Only the slave's master (Or a real badass) can remove them safely. And to add insult to injury, most slaves seen in the series are owned by the [[Aristocrats Are Evil|World Nobles]], [[Complete Monster|horrible jackasses]] who are completely above the law.
* The collar worn by prisoners of ''[[Deadman Wonderland]]'' act as this to a degree. While their will is not completely 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.
==
* ''[[X-Men]]'': Enslaved mutants in Genosha wear collars that negate their powers.
** That was in the animated series—in the comics, Genoshan slaves had full body suits grafted directly to their skin.
* In ''[[The Warlord]]'', cat-girl Shakira wears a spiked collar in both human and cat forms. One storyline implied that she was the product of sorcerous experimentation as all of the sorcerer's other subjects wore identical collars. After defeating the sorcerer, Morgan took the collar off and threw it away. Shakira retrieved it and put it back on.
* In the premiere issue of Marvel's ''The Cat'' series, the newly-empowered Shirlee Bryant naively dons a studded collar as part of her costume. Only then does her sponsor, Malcolm Donalbain, reveal that it is a "will-nullifier" that makes her obey him. Later, Donalbain attempts to place a will-nullifier on the similarly-empowered Greer Nelson but she manages to escape, subsequently returning to put an end to his plans and launching her short-lived superheroine career.
* In ''[[The Avengers (Comic Book)|West Coast Avengers]]'' #12, Tigra is captured by an unseen foe while running through the woods. Later, Graviton turns up with Tigra lying at his feet in a collar and leash and defeats the rest of the WCA. He imprisons the others, but keeps Tigra around with the goal of making her his pet.
** Another time, Tigra was captured by Kraven the Hunter, who put a [[Mind Control]] collar on her and made her fight [[Spider-Man]]. Spidey realized that there was something odd about the collar and ripped it off, allowing them to team up to defeat Kraven.
