* ''[[The Dresden Files]]'' is a fairly realistic urban fantasy, and, as such, most things do indeed leave the expected corpses. However, some things, such as demons and various [[Eldritch Abomination]]s, manifest a body when they come into the real world, and when defeated, this body turns to ectoplasm which slowly evaporates. In other words, a thoroughly [[Justified Trope]], used selectively for effect.

* In the ''[[Dark Tower]]'' series, we meet {{spoiler|Father Callahan from Salem's Lot}} who finds that, when vampires die, they helpfully follow this trope.

* ''[[Star Wars]]'': in ''The Last Command'', {{spoiler|Joruus C'baoth's body is consumed by blue energy, presumably based on what appears to befall the Emperor's body in ''Return of the Jedi'' (especially considering the entire final battle draws heavily from the climax of that film).}}
