Line 391:

* In ''The Magic Candle II'', one level of the [[Big Bad]]'s fortress is decorated with members of a nomadic tribe who had this done to them.

* As expected, given the source material, the ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' series of Gold Box games contain numerous enemies with the ability to petrify the heroes. Luckily, mirrors (and, later, polished silver shields) allow the heroes to reflect the creatures' horrid gaze and turn the enemy to stone.

* [[Bad Powers, Good People|Emil]] of ''[[~~Nie R~~]]'' has the uncontrollable ability to cause this with his gaze, and so he spends hundreds of years cooped up in a mansion with a blindfold. He later gains the ability to control it {{spoiler|after fusing with his sister into the ultimate weapon.}}

* The introductory Dwarf adventure in ''[[The Lord of the Rings Online]]'', which has you getting Dwarves out of the Silver Deep mine, ends with Gimli battling a cave troll, but before you can help him, both of you are hit with a stun effect. Before the troll can finish off Gimli though, Gandalf shows up with Gormr and blasts away part of the mine with his magic, letting in the sunlight and turning the troll to stone (see Literature above).

** In addition, quests in Monster Play often involve you looting pieces of stone from trolls petrified this way (called "Sun-Touched Trolls").
