When a villain wants proof of an enemy's demise, Demanding Their Head is a tried and true classic. Sometimes, though, they decide to get more creative. After all, there are plenty of other body parts that will adequately ensure the target is really most sincerely dead, like the heart, or even the liver. Or perhaps they don't really want a body part making a mess and stinking out the house (not to mention you don't want to scare the kids), so they instead ask for some prized possession, one that could only be pried from the target's cold dead fingers. One way or another, they want tangible proof that the job is done. Thus this trope. Less violent examples might be as simple as requiring someone to bring you a receipt for items you've sent them to purchase, or collecting tokens from each of the waypoints in a race to show that you've completed the entire circuit. A common subversion/variant may involve a hitman getting cold feet and attempting to substitute a body part from someone else, usually a different corpse (often found in a morgue) or even an animal, or they might capture the target and take the proof from them without finishing them off. This can also occur without a specific demand beforehand, when someone knows that what they've done will require proof, and makes sure to collect — or invent — the evidence. A Super-Trope to Demanding Their Head, and one possible reason for needing to collect 20 Bear Asses (if the bear parts aren't actually useful, and the point was just to get rid of the bears for the Price on Their Head). Standard practice for a Bounty Hunter, especially of the Professional Killer variety. May be required to complete an Engagement Challenge, especially if the challenge was along the lines of slaying a dragon. Some types of proof, if kept, might become a Creepy Souvenir, or if the target was a military enemy, a Battle Trophy — although a trophy collected for one's own sake, not to present to someone else, would not be this trope. Compare: We Need to Get Proof, where a character sets out to get proof of what someone else has done; Finger in the Mail when the "proof" is delivered to a victim's loved ones or law enforcement as a threat; and Make Sure He's Dead, where someone needs to be sure of their own successful kill. See also: MacGuffin, where the desired "proof" being sought after is itself a focal plot point; I Want Them Alive!, when a villain demands persons of interest be brought to them intact and (relatively) unharmed. |

The Princess on the Glass Hill: Cinderlad succeeds in the king's Engagement Challenge of riding up the glass hill to retrieve the golden apples — but then chooses to disappear rather than immediately claim the princess' hand. It's only later, when he's fetched from home, that he admits he has the apples, and thus is able to marry the princess. | |

World of Warcraft has hundreds of quests where you need to kill a specific mob and bring proof back to the quest giver, usually their head for named mobs. It can also cross over with 20 Bear Asses when said proof isn't a guaranteed drop from every kill. | |

In Knights of the Old Republic, Czerka offers the player a bounty for wiping out the local Tusken Raiders, requiring you to bring back their gaffi sticks as proof of your victory, including the chieftain's stick.

Return of the Runebound Professor: Noah initially promises to bring back the head of a Slasher monkey to prove to his students that he knows how to kill them. But after realising how much of a mess it would make, he settles for bringing back a claw, with blood still on the root. The students try to protest that he could have bought the claw, but they're at least convinced enough to come with him so he can demonstrate firsthand. | |

In the quest "An Ear to the Ground", NCR Private Sexton has decided to start a contest with his squadmates to see who can kill the most Legion soldiers and take the ears from their corpses. |

The Bible: As dowry to let David marry his daughter, King Saul requests a hundred foreskins of the Philistines. Not only were they something that David couldn't possibly collect without having thoroughly defeated their owners, they also served as a reminder that the Philistines were uncircumcised and thus outside of God's covenant, marking them as Saul's enemies. David went above and beyond, gathering two hundred, to Saul's dismay; he really wanted David to get killed in the attempt. David later sneaks into Saul's camp on multiple occasions while the guards are asleep, stealing items that were right next to Saul, like a spear, and even part of Saul's clothing, to prove that he was able to get in and out and could have killed Saul if he wanted. |

The Book of Mormon: When king Limhi sends a group of men to search for the land of Zarahemla, they instead find a land that they call Desolation because it's no longer inhabited but covered in bones. To prove that they aren't just making it up, they bring back some of the items that they find there, including metal breastplates and engravings in an unknown language. Ammon's single-handed defeat of a band of robbers is astonishing to his companions, and they expect the king to find it equally unbelievable — so they gather up the arms that Ammon cut off his enemies, and bring them back as proof of their story. |

Beware of Chicken: Jin's animals kill Sun Ken, the Whirling Demon Blade bandit, ending the terror he brought to the province, and recover his intelligent sword — but Jin doesn't want the credit, he values his privacy. So he gives the blade to the woman who was supposed to do the job, whom he meets shortly afterward, and tells her to take it back to her sect as proof of the villain's death and the completion of her mission. She's uncomfortable with taking credit that doesn't belong to her, but since Jin also saved her life, she isn't going to argue with his request. | |

Pink defeats the Gorgons by tricking them into looking at their reflections, so their own gaze petrifies them.

House of Anubis: As part of her Initiation Ceremony designed by Patricia to either scare her or get her into trouble, Nina is required to go into the attic at night and bring back something to prove she went. The next morning, while everyone is praising and congratulating Nina for passing her test, Patricia snidely points out that she didn't bring back proof... and Nina pulling a book out of her bag makes Patricia storm off in a rage. | |
