Line 108:
** And in an inversion, Brox discovered a spell that turns inanimate objects into living creatures.
== [[Film]]
* In ''The Snow Queen's Revenge'', the Snow Queen [[Disney Villain Death|falls into lava]]. The ending of the movie shows her body to be intact, but completely turned to stone along with her staff. Her eyes glow before the credits roll, hinting that she is still alive. Given that no sequels have been made since, and that she is the SNOW queen fallen into LAVA, however, we can assume she doesn't survive for much longer, and even if she does, her staff (which unfroze her at the film's beginning) isn't doing anything this time, so it's safe to assume she's not going anywhere.
* The fate of the villain Saluk in ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin: The King Of Thieves]]'', when he grabs the movie's [[MacGuffin]], The Hand of Midas, with his bare hands during the climax, accidentally transforming himself into a statue of gold.
* It's okay, everyone. Admit that it happens in ''[[The Rocky Horror Picture Show]]''. C'mon—that movie's practically a historical landmark of culture now anyway.
** Okay. After Frank-n-Furter turns Colombia, Janet, Rocky and Brad into statues, he dresses them up in makeup and corsets, turns them back to normal, forces them to do a floor show, then makes them join him in a synchronized pool orgy. You asked for it.
Line 128 ⟶ 126:
* In ''[[7 Faces of Dr. Lao]]'', Medusa turns a disbelieving townswoman to stone. (She gets better.)
* In ''[[Hellboy 2: The Golden Army]]'', when elves die, their bodies turn to yellow stone.
* Used several times as an ending in the [[Choose Your Own Adventure]] style "Give Yourself [[Goosebumps]]" books. In ''The Curse of the Creeping Coffin'' you are turned into a statue and ghosts 'tease you and pinch your stone nose' until the end of time. In ''Shop Till You Drop... Dead!'' two endings turn you into a mannequin and a cardboard cutout.▼
* Used in the ''[[Choose Your Own Adventure]]'' book about being sent back in time to the Ancient Greek Olympics. If you successfully win the Olympics, you will travel to the temple of Zeus and pray for your trip to Ancient Greece to never end. [[Jerkass Genie|Yeah...]]▼
* In one of the ''[[Grail Quest]]'' books you can encounter the legendary Medusa herself. Though she has a relatively low chance of actually hitting you, a successful hit means that she has managed to turn you stone and that's it. Game over, go to 14. She also has ''100'' Life Points, meaning she will have plenty of chances to hit you. On the bright side, if you do manage to defeat her you can walk away with a fortune in gold.▼

Line 278 ⟶ 271:
* In the ''[[Magi Nation]]'' storyline, Tuku is a character who was petrified for a thousand years. In an interesting twist, he is aware of everything that he can see, and still feels things like itching and lack of sleep. A short story, from his petrified point of view, can be found [https://web.archive.org/web/20100701202427/http://dukenostalgia.com/mnd/story/glimpses3.html here].
* In the CCG-meets-Monopoly game ''[[Culdcept|Culdcept Saga]]'', there are several monster cards including a Medusa and a Cockatrice that can turn a monster they attack into a Statue. Depending on your strategy this can be either a good or bad thing. Statues do not recover HP during a Lap Bonus, but they do have a pretty good chunk of HP to start off with. Of course, if you give your Medusa an effect that lets it attack first while defending its territory, turning the opposing monster into a Statue means it can't attack the Medusa at all.
