* ''Series/RedDwarf'': In "Gunmen Of The Apocalypse", the Rogue Simulant Battle Cruiser was deliberately designed with a [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/reddwarf/images/0/0b/SimulantShip.png/revision/latest skull-like form]]. Originally this was going to be a human skull and then later a goat one, but the creators decided that a cow skull would fit better with the Western theme of the episode.

* When Comicbook/{{Aquaman}} and Mera briefly wind up in [[ComicBook/TheWarlordDC Skartaris]], Travis Morgan asks them to help him fight an evil wizard. En route to the wizard's base, Mera asks Arthur if they're sure they're on the right side, since they only just met Morgan and don't really know anything about the wizard. Arriving and actually seeing the base, Arthur's curt response is that the guy ''lives in a giant skull,'' and that that's a pretty good clue.
* ''ComicBook/{{Brainiac}}'''s preferred method of traveling the cosmos is [[ComicBook/SupermanBrainiac a massive, skull-shaped starship that doubles as his base of operations]]. It's [[{{Faceship}} modeled after his face]] from his [[MediaNotes/TheBronzeAgeOfComicBooks Bronze Age]] Skelebot9000 phase.
