* ''Literature/SkulduggeryPleasant'' may be a good guy now, but he was once a villain known as Lord Vile, and looked like a skeleton in armour.

* ''{{VideoGame/Valheim}}'':
** Skeletons are a very dangerous foe in the early game due to their high damage. They can even show up in the relatively peaceful Meadows biome, though fortunately they only show up at night near dolmens. In the Black Forest and Swamp biomes they guard burial chambers and crypts (now aided by archers), and on occasion poisonous varieties.
** The Hildir update adds Brenna, a burning skeleton who stole one of Hildir's chests. Once the chest is returned, she repeatedly shows up to attack you again.

* In ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade'', Walter Donovan drinking the wrong grail causes him to [[RapidAging rapidly age and decay.]] Notably his rotting skeleton is still groaning and attacking a terrified Elsa until Jones smashes it to dust. And in one [[VideoGame/IndianaJonesGreatestAdventures video game adaptation]], Donovan's skeleton is even the FinalBoss.
