When in a battle to the death, the winner has ultimate authority over the loser's fate.
To keep a person as though they were property can mean a great many things in fiction. Maybe they are hung up in cages like canaries, kept in a glass case with a label or dressed up in a bikini to dance provocatively. If the winner knows magic, then their trophy-hood could take on a more literal tone, being turned into a statue of yourself and kept in a hall among other unfortunate hunks of gold and marble. Either way, slavery like this is not maintained out of a need for hands in the fields or for monetary worth, but rather as physical proof that they have defeated you, stringing the loser up and making them look pretty like a shiny medal or blue ribbon.
If this enslavement is mystical in origin, then the only means of liberating oneself from such a deal without serious cosmic repercussions is when the master is dead or finally defeated.
Even worse is when the loser is aware of the whole situation but can't do a thing about it as they are trapped as a still-conscious trophy.
Compare with Battle Trophy, Creepy Souvenir, and Dead Guy on Display, which require the trophy to be dead. See also Deal with the Devil, Human Pet, Living Doll Collector, Living Museum Exhibit, and People Zoo. Not to be confused with Lost Him in a Card Game, Trophy Child, or Trophy Wife. Can result in Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?

Return to Oz: In a very literal example, The Nome King transforms the Scarecrow, now ruler of the Emerald City, into a household ornament (specifically, a paperweight), then challenges Dorothy and her friends to find the right one in a room full of different pieces of bric-a-brac. Anyone who fails the game is also transformed into a random object, including a vase, a bookend, and a medallion. Thankfully, Morphic Resonance saves the day—all transformed Ozians are a shade of emerald green.

Legends of Oz: Dorothy's Return: The Jester's plan centers on capturing all of Oz's various leaders—including the Mayor of Munchkin City, General Candy Apple of Candy Country, and Glinda the Good Witch—and transforming them into marionettes. He keeps them locked up in labeled glass cases when he's not using them for his evil purposes.

In The Silmarillion, after winning a battle against a son of Elf-lord Feanor, Morgoth captured him and kept him chained by only one wrist to the outer wall of Thangorodrim, both for his torment and as a souvenir of victory.

Gotham: After Edward Nygma and Oswald Cobbleplot become enemies in season 3, the latter finally emerges victorious over the former after a Gambit Pileup and has him frozen alive by Mr. Freeze. Just to humiliate Nygma further, Cobblepot then has him displayed in his club as a trophy and as a warning to any other challengers to his position. At least until Nygma is unfrozen and starts plotting revenge, although by that point Cobbleplot considers him Not Worth Killing anymore after Nygma has lost his intelligence, making him merely a shadow of his former self.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: The castle of Dragonsreach got its name from the story of King Olaf One-Eye capturing the dragon Numinex in battle. Numinex was held as a prisoner in the castle, displayed as a trophy, and supposedly died in captivity, with his skull mounted over the Jarl's throne in the castle's main hall. The Dragonborn eventually ends up using the same machine that imprisoned Numinex to capture another dragon, Odahviing, and the threat of him suffering the same fate as Numinex is enough to convince Odahviing to join the Dragonborn's side.

Mass Effect 2: Aria T'Loak, the current ruler of Omega, won the power struggle against her krogan predecessor ("Patriarch"), but, rather than killing him, she made him her "advisor" and keeps him around as a symbol of what happens when someone tries anything against her. Shepard can convince Patriarch to stand up for himself or to seek out a final, glorious death against his enemies. Aria turns out to be surprisingly happy about either outcome: the former causes him to become more useful to her as an advisor since he's started taking the role more seriously, and the latter causes her to reflect that he really deserved to be allowed to finally die in battle instead of wasting away like an aging house pet.

Steven Universe: The Human Zoo was a private menagerie built by Pink Diamond as a means to contain a private collection of abducted humans to act as living trophies for her conquest of Earth. All modern human specimens there are descendants of said abducted humans. It is later revealed that Pink Diamond wasn't actually the one who built the Zoo, but rather Blue Diamond, who misunderstood Pink's desire to preserve Earth's life.

Teen Titans (2003): In "Only Human", Cyborg manages to beat the robot Atlas at an online game. In retaliation, Atlas goes to Titans Tower with the intent of destroying him in real life. Atlas manages to defeat him and the other Titans before capturing them in bubbles, telling Cyborg that if he wants his friends to be free, then he must agree to a rematch at the Old Stadium. Cyborg agrees and loses the fight, only for Atlas to go back on his word and keep the other Titans as his trophies.
The Brotherhood of Evil's ultimate goal after completely taking out all the Titans and their new recruits is to cryogenically freeze them and keep them on display.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl:
In The Subspace Emissary, the fighters are trophies by default, released when someone touches their stand or deploys them for battle and reverted when they're defeated. This is a plot point that the villains take advantage of, as the fighters are unconscious and powerless in trophy form.
The player can invoke this with the Trophy Stand: throw this item at any weakened foe and they’ll be turned into trophies for the gallery. This is the only way to collect most of the trophies in story mode.

In The Unexplored Summon://Blood-Sign, the psychic shock of losing a summoning battle renders people essentially lobotomized for a 24-hour period; they are usually mindless and highly suggestible. Usually, this means death or imprisonment for the defeated, but sadistic victors such as Azalea or the White Queen enslave them as Human Pets.

Warhammer 40,000: Inverted by Lukas the Trickster, who does this to people who defeat him. One of his hearts was replaced by a stasis bomb, meaning that on dying, everyone in base contact with Lukas is trapped for eternity with only his mocking laughter for company. This has since been nerfed since the first version of this ability allowed him to remove Titans with ease.

Doctor Who:
In "The Space Museum", the TARDIS, because of a Timey-Wimey Ball, arrives at a space museum which displays the conquests of the great Morok empire. The TARDIS crew sneaks around the museum for a while, before realising that they're invisible, inaudible, and also that later versions of them are trapped in glass display cases as museum exhibits.
In "The Woman Who Fell to Earth", the villain is a Stenza warlord who is undergoing a ritual of leadership that involves Hunting the Most Dangerous Game. The quarry of the hunt is a randomly designated human who must be captured alive without assistance, returned to the Stenza homeworld, and preserved in a state between life and death as a trophy.

Valheim:
This forms the basis of the plot: the player character must prove their worthiness to enter Valhalla by killing the Forsaken (monsters that refused Odin's authority) and taking their heads to hang up on a Circle of Standing Stones. Putting one up also grants you a specific power (decreased stamina use, resistance to damage, etc.).
Most enemies drop some kind of trophy (usually their heads) which can then be mounted on walls. Boss trophies (and fish) will sometimes talk while mounted, raising the question of whether they are in fact dead.

In Runaways (Rainbow Rowell), the Staff of One is revealed to be an ancient Japanese warlord who lost a battle against Nico Minoru's distant ancestor Takiko. As a penalty for losing, he was given the choice of either dying on her sword or becoming it. He chose the latter and was transformed into the Staff of One, cursed to serve the Minoru clan until they either all died off or one of them released him.

Luigi's Mansion: King Boo holds Mario captive inside a painting. E. Gadd had also done this with the various ghosts of the mansion, King Boo included, like an art exhibit. In addition to finding Mario, Luigi's mission is to recapture the ghosts and put them back in their paintings.

The Wotch: One of the later arcs, "The MOST Most Dangerous Game", combines this with Hunting the Most Dangerous Game. A Battle Couple kidnaps random heroes from the multiverse to hunt down for sport, including Anne and Robin. Mostly by disabling their magic, then shooting them with magic-powered guns. Those that are defeated are turned into artwork, including but not limited to wall mounts, throw pillows, paintings, and statues.

The Mountain and the Wolf: The Wolf keeps a great many skulls on his person as reminders of things he's killed, including the Mountain. He will happily talk about them despite the obvious discomfort of whoever he's talking to.

Gravity Falls: Zigzagged. Once Bill begins Weirdmaggedon, he takes Ford away to his palace. However, he doesn't keep him alive exactly while using him as a trophy, but he does turn him back to normal when he needs to. When he turns him to normal, it's usually either to torture him or get information out of him. Played straight with the people of Gravity Falls, whose unconscious stone bodies he's made a throne out of.

Conan Exiles: Taking thralls works like this. You beat an NPC down with a truncheon, tie them up and drag them home, break them on your Wheel of Pain, then set to doing various tasks for you. There are fighter thralls to help you in combat, bearer thralls to carry your loot, cook and blacksmith and armorer and alchemist and other thralls to help you efficiently craft high-end gear, but the trope is played straightest with Entertainer thralls, who dance for you to remove corruption and improve natural healing.
