* Mace Windu does this to a guard twice his size who blocks his way in the [[Star Wars Expanded Universe]] novel ''Shatterpoint''. The guard taunts the "little Jedi" to draw his [[Laser Sword|lightsaber]]. Mace simply says that his head is all he needs and proceeds to show him exactly what he means, then steps away as the guard falls.

* Subverted in an episode of ''[[Cheers (TV)|Cheers]]'' where Cliff claims to know karate and smashes a stack of boards with his head. Diane ends up having to sneak him off to the hospital.
* Played with in ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)|Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''. One of Spike's minions asks him how to get into a locked room; Spike scornfully says "Use your head!", grabs him by the scruff of the neck... and smashes his head into the compartment next to the door holding a fire axe.

* [[Informed Ability]] of the Klingons in all ''[[Star Trek]]'' series save TOS; [[All There in the Manual|the Star Trek Fact Files]] claim that those much-mocked [[Rubber Forehead Aliens|rubber foreheads]] are actually solid bone.
** Interestingly, a Klingon tries to do this to Data after losing their version of arm-wrestling to him only for Data to point out that his skull is made of the same stuff as starship hulls.

** The attack Skull Bash works in exactly this manner, as well as Headbutt, Head Smash, Iron Head and Zen Headbutt. However, Head Smash actually hurts the user.
** In addition to that, Cranidos and Rampardos are Pokémon based around this trope. Like many Pokémon, this was based on [

* The animal kingdom has its share of bad-ass headbashers. Check out pachycephalosaurs, ''Majungasaurus'', bighorn sheep, some chalicotheres, and giraffes. Yes, ''giraffes''. Slightly subverted with the former, as they were originally thought to have engaged on direct-headbutting action, but biomechanical studies suggest that flank-butting (like giraffes) is more likely. Giraffes are basically the living version of [[Epic Flail]]. Don't believe me? [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huxDnZs2_OQ Just look at this]. Yeah, you go and say giraffes aren't [[Badass]]. I'll be over here [[Tempting Fate|where it's safe]].
** Don't forget the triceratops (no longer with us, but still). Also rhinos.
