* In ''[[Sherlock Holmes|The Sign of the Four]]'', Tonga uses poison blow darts.
* In one ''[[Forgotten Realms]]'' novel, the pirate hunter Captain Deudermont is darted by a thug who wanted to claim the black-market bounty on him. Apparently, his darts are made from cat claws
* In ''[[Humanx Commonwealth|Midworld]]'' and its sequel, human hunters on the green world use rifle-like blow guns called "snufflers", modeled on [[Lost Technology|distant memories]] of their colonial ancestors' firearms. They're powered by tank seeds, which contain air bladders that burst when punctured, propelling their toxic-thorn projectiles with great force.
