* ''WesternAnimation/ElTigreTheAdventuresOfMannyRivera'': In one episode, Sartana uses her necromancy to reanimate three fossils, including a theropod, a pterosaur, and a chimera of various prehistoric animal parts. El Tigre tries to destroy them with his claws, but since these skeletal monsters are made of stones that superficially resemble bones, they prove to be much sturdier than the usual Skeleton Bandito he's used to.

* ''WebVideo/{{Oxventure}}'': This is Hammerdahl's method for restoring extinct creatures in ''Extinction'', courtesy of Bromine the necromancer. They are actually restored to full life, but there's lots of necromantic-adjacent behaviour involved, such as the resurrections being very creepy. There's also the drawbacks: [[spoiler:all the resurrected creatures come back rabid, and have extremely short lifespans]], which contribute to the feeling of this trope, and which the Oxventurers spend most of their time trying to resolve.
