* This is a common design for many Stands in the earlier parts of ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure'', complete with cracking like stone when they get damaged. As the series progressed, though, stands became gradually less humanoid and more like robots and living modern art pieces, but even then there are still some newer stands that fit this trope.

* This is a common design for many Stands in ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure'', especially in the earlier parts where stands relied more heavily in their physical prowess for fighting, as their abilities were more grounded (I.E. AnIcePerson and PlayingWithFire-type abilities as opposed to later ones that could go right into RealityWarper and MindScrew territory).

Compare {{Golem}} (when they ''are'' made of certain materials) and ChromeChampion.

* Empyreans from ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' seem to be made to directly evoke this, the children of gods and humans with divine powers in the mould of classical Greek heroes. They have skin that looks like marble and greatly resemble statues in terms of physique.

* In the Literature/{{Discworld}} novels, Sgt. Colon's Watch breastplate is described as having sculpted abs and pecs, into the inverse of which his own rather flabby chest and stomach fit like Jello into a mold.
** Also, the new golem made in ''Discworld/FeetOfClay'', intended by the other golems to be their king, is described as having a body like the most idealistic of statuary. By implications the other golems once had similar physiques, but centuries of repair wore them down into vague, gingerbread-man shapes.

* ''TabletopGame/WarhammerFantasyRoleplay'': Wizards can transform their body parts into living gold with an obscure, costly, and powerful {{Ritual|Magic}}. It grants various mechanical bonuses (and huge bragging rights among wizards and alchemists), but is a blatant MarkOfTheSupernatural that most {{Muggles}} view with superstitious fear and/or reverence.

* Pick a ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' monster. '''Any''' ''Power Rangers'' monster.

For all intents and purposes the creature or character looks as though they've been sculpted out of stone, wrought from metal, born part plastic, or a strange meld of [[{{Cyborg}} flesh and technology.]] Common features include [[WingedHumanoid wings]] ([[PowerGivesYouWings especially]] if the Sculpted Physique is part of a SuperMode or OneWingedAngel), an arm/gun, PowerCrystal studs, [[BodyToJewel crystalline body-parts]], a HeartDrive or being covered in a too-literal body armor.

* ''Franchise/DevilMayCry 1'' features Mundus, who looks like an enormous marble statue of an angel (with a gaping, open ribcage). #4 features a boss which essentially IS an enormous marble statue of an angel.

* In the WhateleyUniverse, there are a number. Igneous looks like he is made out of solid rock. Migraine after her change looks more like something from ''Alien'' than a human being.

* ''VideoGame/Warframe'': Titular warframes are humanoid suits meshing organic and mechanical components into sleek biomechanical forms closely imitating human physique.

* Most of villains of ''Manga/DragonBall'', but most notably Cell, Cooler, and Post-transformation Janemba.

* Many things in ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion''. In the case of the [=EVAs=], both the mechanical and organic parts were purposely sculpted to fit together.

* For the final battle of ''VideoGame/{{Bioshock|1}}'', Fontaine [[OneWingedAngel turns into]] what can best be described as a ten-foot tall [[strike:Oscar]] Atlas statue.
