* ''Manga/KanojoWaRokurokubi'' is a manga starring a Rokurokubi schoolgirl named Kinoi Natsuki. Her neck normally looks just like a human's, but it can stretch if she wants it to, or as a reflex to express surprise, embarrassment, or other things. She uses it for all kinds of mundane things like standing outside her balcony and talking to her next-door LoveInterest in the face.

* ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsIII'' has the Dancer of the Boreal Valley, who's basically just a giant warrior woman...except her proportions are just ''off,'' including a neck that's noticeably longer and more flexible than a human's should be.

* ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter2004'': Khezu can stretch its neck to bite from a long distance.
