* ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'': When the Council of Elrond meets to discuss what to do about the [[ArtifactOfDoom One Ring]], Frodo suggests that they give it to [[BenevolentAbomination Tom Bombadil]], as the Ring's powers have [[NoSell absolutely no effect on him.]] Gandalf explains that Tom can't be trusted with the One Ring ''because'' it means so little to him--he'd view it as an interesting trinket at best and lose track of it.



* The Klaww Gang of ''VideoGame/Sly2BandOfThieves'' stole the disassembled pieces of Clockwerk, an immortal robotic owl who's body is composed of powerful metal that cannot break. Most of the members make use of the pieces in ways that directly benefit their operations: Dimitri uses the tail feathers as printing plates for his counterfeit cash operation, Jean Bison uses the lungs and stomach as engines for his shipment trains, and Rajan uses the heart as a pump for his spice production. However, Rajan also received the wings, and simply makes them a decorative centerpiece for the lavish party he's hosting.

* ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'' has the Salvation Sphere. It is one of the pieces of the Legacy, a group of [[AncientArtifact ancient artifacts [[GottaCatchEmAll that the Weatherlight crew must collect]] so they can save Dominaria from the BigBad, Yawgmoth. Most players probably won't recognize it by its original name though, since it's more popularly known as, uhh...
