** [[media:m1250155 99060108081 INQDHEversorswordmain 873x627 1911.jpg|This guy]] is [[Axe Crazy|friendly]] as he looks. Tends to end up like this VERY frequently.

** In a fluff story behind one of the regions in [[Dawn of War]]: Dark Crusade, an Ork horde was demoralized and defeated after their war boss had this happen to him. His skull adorned the defended city's main square afterward.

** There's also a subversion in twilight highlands where you bring someone the heads of two ogre-magi, the horde version plays it straight, but in the alliance version the quest giver is squicked out at the heads and tells you he would have just taken your word for it.

** Orgrim Doomhammer is seen doing this to Blackhand in the instruction manual for [[Warcraft]] II.

* Another weird example is ''[[Serious Sam]]'' with its line of 'Beheaded' enemies. As it sounds, they are undead enemies who have been beheaded...but, upon being raised from their graves, then proceed to carry around ''their own'' heads in the manner of this trope, ostensibly so they can aim their bombs and rocket launchers. [[Action Bomb|Don't ask about the guys]] [[Suicide Attack|whose heads they couldn't find.]]

* {{spoiler|After occupying the Viscount's Keep}}, the Arishok in ''[[Dragon Age II]]'' appears briefly to lift the head of {{spoiler|Viscount Dumar}} for display, but dispenses with drama to dismissively roll it down the carpet.
