* Donovan Desmond of ''Manga/SpyXFamily'' is tall and skeletally thin, with wide eyes drawn with heavy shadows underneath and an expression that makes him look like a disturbed owl. (Operation Strix is the mission undertaken by one of the main characters to get information on him; "strix" is a Latin word for "owl", and it also refers to a bird-like demon from classical mythology). Desmond is the chair of a major far-right political party, and is incredibly paranoid, secretive, and withdrawn, even from his own family, and he's being investigated in the first place because his party may potentially reignite a war.

* The Other Mother from ''WesternAnimation/{{Coraline}}'' starts off looking like Coraline's real mother (except for the lack of a neck brace and ''having black buttons for eyes''). Over the course of the film however, her features become more and more exaggerated. She switches from her real-world counterpart's sweater and pants to a black and white-dotted dress, red collar and red shoes. When Coraline starts to defy her, the Other Mother shifts to a less human form, becoming taller and more skeletal. In the film's climax, her true form is shown with a mechanical/spider-like appearance with white, cracked-porcelain skin and hands made of sewing needles.

* [[Characters/BatmanTheJoker The Joker]] was based upon the silent film version of ''Literature/TheManWhoLaughs''. Incidentally, the title character is ''also'' played by Creator/ConradVeidt, so it's hardly coincidence that the Joker is often given Cesare's dark, sunken-in eyelids.

* [[Literature/TheDresdenFiles Harry Dresden]] gets to looking like this around the beginning of Book 4 (Summer Knight) -- he's around 6'8", very thin (as he has no money for food), has actually lost time due to being in his lightless lab for months, and his hair (very dark brown, as are his eyes) has not only grown out for several months, but is burned off in patches, producing a look that he himself terms "time to take Rover to the groomer."
