* This happened to ''ComicStrip/LittleNemo'' once when he had hoped to merely thaw out of a block of ice.
* Also in [[http://www.zeno.org/Literatur/M/Busch,+Wilhelm/Bildergeschichten/Bilderpossen/Der+Eispeter a strip]] by 19th century German artist Creator/WilhelmBusch. Boy Peter leaves the house on a very cold winter day [[AnAesop despite being told not to]] for ice skating, where he promptly freezes in the cold. Fortunately, the hunter finds him and brings him home; but in the oven heat, this trope happens, and all the dolorous parents can do is wipe up the liquid and store it in a jar, [[BlackComedy which they keep in the larder.]]
* The classic Wicked Witch melting is parodied in ''Brevity''.
-->'''Wicked Witch of the West:''' I'm melting! MELTING!!! And on the good rug too...

[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
* Late in the animated movie ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooOnZombieIsland'', Freddy, Daphne, and Velma are tied up, as wax voodoo dolls of themselves are tossed dangerously close to a fire (Oh, and btw, the supernatural stuff is for real this time.) The actual character's faces visually start to melt before Scooby runs in and pulls the voodoo dolls away from the fire.
* In a scene near the end of ''WesternAnimation/TransformersTheMovie'', a number of [[NominalImportance anonymous]] Cybertronian robots are shown dissolving in a pit of molten metal inside Unicron's "belly", in order to set up a BigDamnHeroes moment when Daniel and the Autobots come to rescue the ones [[SortingAlgorithmOfMortality we actually care about]]. Their demise is accompanied by the usual splashing, struggling, then turning cherry red and sinking out of sight.
* He was already basically made of acid, but Meltdown from ''TransformersAnimated'' collapses into a puddle when exposed to a malfunctioning 'genetic modifier'. The episode's last shot was of his face appearing in the liquid, but nothing came of it.
* The Type-D version happened to Rasputin in Creator/DonBluth's ''WesternAnimation/{{Anastasia}}'' when the heroine smashed the artifact he gained his power from. It's been foreshadowed several times that he's technically a zombie, and the relic is the only thing keeping him alive, so it was pretty obvious this would happen.

* ''Literature/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz''. Possibly the true {{Trope Namer|s}}.
** Note that it's not nearly instantaneous: The witch has enough time for a dialogue in which she asks the stupid question "did you not know water could destroy me?" Even ([[BlackAndWhiteMorality Espec]][[AlwaysChaoticEvil ially]]) as a child, it's obvious to the reader that had she known, Dorothy would have done it weeks ago.
* Hans Christian Andersen's original version of "Literature/TheLittleMermaid" warned of the Type-C variety for the title character.
* ''EnchantedForestChronicles'' had wizards that reacted the same way to soapy water with a little lemon juice in it. (They [[UnexplainedRecovery recover somehow]], but it does put them out of commission for awhile.)
** Later on, Telemain develops a spell that replicates the effect. It's more portable than buckets and can be used multiple times in rapid succession without having to reload (again unlike a bucket), but it doesn't last quite as long as an actual bucketful of soapy lemon water (possibly because the puddle is pure wizard, without the melting agent mixed in).

* In the ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' games, plasma weapons have a special effects death where the victim dissolves into a puddle of green slime. In ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}}'', this is accompanied by a wet, slurpy sort of sound -- lasers, which burn the target to ashes, have a crisp, crackling, burning sort of noise.
** The ''Fallout 3'' versions are considerably different from VideoGame/{{Fallout|1}} and VideoGame/{{Fallout 2}}, though plasma still reduces its victim to goo. Or rather, it melts the flesh off the bones, which promptly collapse into the resultant puddle for a stereotypical 'Bones' version. Lasers just cut victims in half (or thirds depending). Fallout 3's lasers actually act more like Fallout 2's pulse rifles in that regard, incidentally. This also happens to the player character upon activating Project Purity at the end of the game, unless the ''Broken Steel'' {{expansion pack}} is installed.
* In Sierra's ''VideoGame/SpaceQuest'' being hit by a drop of acid has it "sear its way to your feet" (through your head), but the VGA remake dissolves Roger the protagonist top-down, into a puddle of goo and a really stupid-looking head in a protective helmet.

* ''Seen in Metroid: Third Derivative'' when a Pirate challenged Samus. Unfortunately, he was standing in a high concentration of phazon at the time. Samus delivered a spin on the Trope name, in response to this.
* ''TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob:'' When Molly's ''steam-powered'' robot snowman (unsurprisingly) melts, Jean quotes the Wicked Witch: "What a world! What a world!"
* In ''{{Goblins}}'', K'seliss the "[[LizardFolk lizard-ogre]]" gets [[{{Squick}} dissolved bit by bit]] by a horrifying undead abomination. (And ''still'' manages to [[TakingYouWithMe take the damn thing down with him]] with [[DyingMomentOfAwesome all four limbs and his tail gone]].)
* Professor Corwin's Apsinthion Device does a Type B version of this to coeds in ''TalesOfGnosisCollege''. They '''love''' it.
* In ''TheNoob'', the {{Z|ergRush}}ERG team encouners a [[KillerRabbit "cute little squirrel"]] in a high level forest. [[http://www.thenoobcomic.com/index.php?pos=148 It doesn't end well]].
* In ''Webcomic/CheshireCrossing,'' *all* witches are vulnerable to this in Oz. This not only explains why the Wicked Witch of the West had buckets of water all over the place (in case the Good Witches came calling), but also allows her to ambush and incapacitate an invading [[spoiler: Mary Poppins]].
