(Hoist by Her Own Petard, Hoist by His Own Petard)
Role added by @user_53973 on August 17, 2022
Role ID: 7709323
The villain's own weapon or malicious plan is the cause of their downfall and/or death. This could be something as big as a Mad Scientist who creates monsters and/or a Weapon of Mass Destruction getting killed by their own creation, or as small as a prankster accidentally setting off their own trap. In media intended for young children, it is often a Death by Irony that releases the hero from the unpleasantness of actually killing their enemy; a more specific type of Self-Disposing Villain. If the hero is not responsible for the death in any way, it can also be a Karmic Death. Would also overlap with Accidental Suicide.
