{{quote|''"Defeated by an ugly crone,
From mortal man to standing stone,
With sun and rain upon you blown,
Through carven locks the wind shall moan,
Here you will be through years unknown,
And slowly crumble when time has flown."''|'''[[Have a Nice Death|Game Over Screen]]''', ''[[Conquests of Camelot]]''}}
Line 36:
* Ash in the climax of ''[[Pokémon: The First Movie|Pokémon the First Movie]]'', after {{spoiler|he's hit by two blasts that Mew and Mewtwo fire at each other while he's trying to stop them}}. He was revived by a slew of [[Swiss Army Tears]] from the surrounding Pokémon.
** Also happens in {{spoiler|the very end}} Fire Red/Leaf Green saga of ''[[Pokémon Special]]'', when {{spoiler|one of the villains blasts the main characters with an attack from Darkrai. It colliding with Mewtwo caused a reaction that turned the main characters into stone. The next arc uses this as Emerald's reason to pursue Jirachi -- to wish the effect reversed.}}
** Another ''
* Dabura of ''[[Dragonball Z]]'' could turn people to stone with his spit.
** Majin Buu has a slight twist on this in that his antenna can turn people into ''food'', which he then eats (or in one case, steps on). This creates a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] when he turns [[Fusion Dance|Vegetto]] into a coffee candy, but Vegetto's immense power means he remains sentient and mobile, resulting in a little hard candy ball beating the stuffing out of a galaxy-destroying monster.
Line 248:
* The song [[Black Sabbath|"Iron Man"]] tells the story of a hero who was "turned to steel in the great magnetic field" while traveling to the past. However, this was only temporary, and he was revived several hundred years later to "kill the people he once saved" for revenge, because no one tried to help him when he was in his metal state.
* Owen Pallett's "Basilisk" is [[Conversational Troping]] on the subject. Though a cheerful and catchy song, it's rife with subtle [[Nightmare Fuel]].

Line 423:
** Cassie is also turned into a life-sized wooden puppet at one point and remains this way for some time before anyone remembers to turn her back.
* Lampshaded in [http://www.triquetracats.com/?date=2008-03-10 this] page of ''[[Triquetra Cats]]'', Petra gets turned into a statue, but because she's an earth mage she can still move.
* Happened to Black Belt from ''
* In [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0053.html her first appearance] in ''[[The Order of the Stick|Order of the Stick]]'', Celia was the victim of a Flesh to Stone spell. She was [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0070.html later restored] by a scroll of Break Enchantment.
** Part of O-Chul's torture regimen while Xykon's captive involved a "Basilisk staring contest." Jirix notes he technically won, presumably petrified and unable to blink.
