* The [[DemBones Accursed]] faction in ''VideoGame/MinionMasters'' has the Corpse Explosion spell, that detonates specific remains called Undying Corpses on the battlefield when played.


Added DiffLines:

* ''VideoGame/SlayTheSpire'', like Diablo and Minion Masters above, has a Corpse Explosion skill for the Silent, which applies Poison to an enemy and makes it apply damage equal to its max HP to all other enemies when it dies. It's widely considered one of the strongest AOE cards in the entire game, being able to make multi-boss fights like Donu and Deca ''much'' easier.

They also come with additional magecraft effects - the hearts for example release DeadlyGas after they explode.

* ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedOrigins'': It's possible to contaminate corpses with a toxin that will rapidly drain the helth from any enemy who gets near it. If they're killed by the poison, their corpse will also become contaminated. As soldiers will automatically run over to a dead body to inspect it, this can lead to a chain reaction that kills most of an enemy fort as soldier after soldier run over to inspect the ever-growing pile of corpses.

** An Imperial sidequest on Balmorra has an Imperial Intelligence officer task the player with planting booby-trapped comlinks on enemy corpses to terrorize LaResistance as well as civilians scavenging the bodies. The PC can choose instead to plant booby-trapped hand grenades, which a resistance fighter would be interested in but a civilian theoretically wouldn't.

The PC can choose instead to plant booby-trapped hand grenades, which a resistance fighter would be interested in but a civilian theoretically wouldn't. Unusually, choosing to plant the hand grenades results in a WhatTheHellHero moment from the Intelligence officer, who wanted civilians to get caught up with booby-trapped comlinks so they'd learn to just ''stop risking their lives scavenging dead soldiers''. Planting the grenades instead causes more civilian casualties due to them trying to scavenge them in the hopes of reselling them to either the resistance or the Empire.

The Legion used a child to trick the rangers into lowering their defenses when looking for Legion slavers in a burned up house, only for the kid to drop a live grenade at Andy's feet before retreating into a closet. This caused enough damage to force Andy into retiring to Novac.

Sometimes, DesecratingTheDead or [[DeadGuyOnDisplay leaving them on display]] just isn't enough. Sometimes, you want to add injury to the insult. Strap a BoobyTrap to a corpse, wait for people to investigate, and you get two for the price of one.

This trope covers whenever someone uses a dead body as a BoobyTrap. Preying on their enemy's care for their fallen friends, or at least their curiosity, leaving a bomb with a corpse is a particularly insidious lure. For this reason (and the desecration), it tends to be used by {{Combat Pragmatist}}s or [[KickTheDog dog-kicking villains]] who don't mind using a dead body as bait. Compare WhyAmITicking (strapping a bomb to a live, unwilling person), ActionBomb (strapping a bomb to a live, willing person), and DeadMansSwitch (a bomb that will go off if a person is killed). Might also be a posthumous TakingYouWithMe.

For obvious reasons, this is a war crime under [[https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/customary-ihl/eng/docs/v2_rul_rule80 Article 6 of 1980 Protocol II]] of the Geneva Convention, which also covers booby-trapping sick or wounded persons.
