A few characters in Hunter × Hunter are shown to use animals as a form of weaponry. This could be due to the fact that they are Manipulators or simply because they have tamed the animals. Some of these animals are:
- Bees: Ponzu carries bees underneath her big round hat. They emerge and attack her enemies when threatened[1] and she can also use them as message carriers.[2]
- Snakes: Used by the snake charmer Bourbon, these snakes attack anyone Bourbon orders them to. He can also have them hide and attack when the enemy gets close to their master.[1]
- Dogs: Manipulated by Squala's ability.[3]
- Birds: Similar to Squala's ability, Cluck's ability is to control an undetermined number of birds.[5]
- Leeches: Used by the Shadow Beast Leech, who keeps them in his body. They can be used for medical purposes as well as a deadly weapon.[6]
- Small creatures (especially insects): Sayird emits an aura ball at a small living being (no bigger than a hamster) and he can manipulate it, seeing and hearing through the animal.[7] Kurapika's Steal Chain[8] and Stealth Dolphin allowed Sayird's Nen ability (Little Eye) to be also used by Queen Oito once to control a cockroach.[9][10][11]
