Desecrating the Dead | comment |
Usually when someone dies in fiction, their body is ignored. If they're important (or just important to the plot), you may see them being buried or inspected at a local morgue, but due to the Law of Conservation of Detail, they are usually quickly forgotten. Sometimes, though, the deceased gets a lot more attention. Sometimes a character has a pragmatic reason to kill a dead person again, or is too emotional to stop themselves even though their victim is long past resistance. In this case, however, a character makes a deliberate decision to humiliate or punish the dead person even further. Sometimes they're so angry that death just isn't enough, sometimes they need a Dead Guy on Display to show the public that an enemy is truly, thoroughly defeated, and sometimes they're so evil they want to play with them some more. Spite, revenge, intimidation, and depravity are common motivators for desecrating the dead — for both Heroes and Villains. It isn't always the physical corpse that's being desecrated; the spirit of the victim can be targeted for further abuse, a grave or monument can be defaced, or the works of the person can be destroyed even if they could be utilized for the betterment of society because it's more important to erase the creator. |

Bleach anime episode 272: defied. After Ichigo enters his ultra-powered Hollow form and apparently kills Ulquiorra, he prepares to stab Ulquiorra's body with his zanpakuto. His friend Uryu Ishida grabs Ichigo's arm and pleads with him not to mutilate Ulquiorra's body, warning Ichigo that if he does it he won't be human anymore. | |

DEATH BATTLE! The episode pitting Master Chief against the Doomguy ends with Master Chief teabagging his enemy's corpse. Similarly, He-Man vs. Lion-O has He-Man sing "HEYYEYAAEYAAAEYAEYAA!" as Battlecat feasts upon Lion-O's remains. The fight between Deadpool and Deathstroke ends with Deadpool casually tossing Deathstroke's severed head into a fire before performing the Macarena. A non-physical example occurs at the end of the battle pitting Sauron against the Lich King: after killing his adversary and proving himself Eviler than Thou, as a final insult, Sauron triumphantly seats himself upon the Lich King's throne. |

On Bosch, Detective Bosch gets a tip-off that his prostitute mother was murdered decades ago by a man named "Fox" Mitchell. Mitchell was an alias of Arno Epperson, the man was a big-time police informant for narcotics so LAPD protected him from homicide investigation and even gave him a new identity as "Dave Arenson". After Bosch finds out that "Arenson" died of cancer 2 years ago, he visits Epperson's grave and spits on it as he can't ever bring Epperson to justice. Turns out the murderer wasn't Epperson, but his wealthy and well-connected friend, Bradley Walker who would go on to being the Police Commission President. | |

The Belgariad: Urgit (the king of Chtol Murgos) mentions having personally buried his father, Taur Urgas, face-down in a ditch. After first slitting his throat, just to be really, really sure he was dead. While Taur Urgas was an ordinary mortal man who'd been dead for quite a long time by that point, he was such an internationally infamous Ax-Crazy brute that everyone considered this to be reasonably fair. | |

A Diplomatic Visit: As explained in chapter 18, Balanced Meal is the founder of the PVE (Pony Vegan Environmentalists, a notorious hate group that targets all non-ponies). When Luna asks where his grave is (with this trope clearly in mind), Celestia (who is equally disgusted by his actions) says that he's buried in a cemetery with considerable magical protections to prevent this from happening, and remarks that had it not been, she would have seen to it that his grave spontaneously combusted right after the funeral; more recently, she's considered asking Discord to do something about said protections so that such desecrations can actually happen. | |

From Naruto we have a variation that crosses over with Kick Them While They Are Down. When Gato arrives on the scene after Haku's death, the very first thing he does is kick Haku's body in the face as payback for Haku breaking his arm while wishing that he was still alive to feel the hit, much to Naruto's horror. This scene makes watching his Karmic Death at Zabuza's hands all the more satisfying. | |

Hannibal: A tactic of several Serial Killers. Hannibal Lecter himself likes to arrange his victims' corpses as macabre art pieces to flaunt his victory — and if they're lucky, they're dead before he starts. Standouts include pincushioning people with dozens of implements as an homage to the Wound Man, presenting Beverly Katz's corpse in thin vertical slices, and folding a man's inside-out body into a giant origami heart as a gesture to Will. Lawrence Wells "retires" from killing by exhuming all his victims and assembling their bodies into a gruesome totem pole. It's both a bid to Get into Jail Free and a way to flaunt that he'd gotten away with murdering people For the Evulz for thirty years. |

Mixed examples occur in the Dream SMP: A heroic example occurs in Season 2 — during Jschlatt's funeral, which no one took seriously, people started looting his coffin (which — in the meta — was a chest filled with items renamed to be Schlatt's body parts, since this takes place in Minecraft), notably both Tommy and Tubbo started dual-wielding Schlatt's bones and Quackity took his heart before straight-up eating it. It just goes to show how much everyone on the server hates Schlatt when everyone involved in desecrating his corpse gets away with it. An antagonistic example occurs in Season 3 — after receiving the news that Tommy was brutally murdered by Dream, Bad, Ant and Punz (while Brainwashed and Crazy by The Egg) decide to celebrate by throwing a party in Tommy's house, placing down a cake and swapping out the floor from grass to a garish checkerboard pattern of yellow concrete and quartz. When Puffy finds them, tears into them and kicks them out, they decide to rent a room in Tommy's hotel instead to continue celebrating. |

The Way of Kings (2010): Kaladin ends up mutilating Parshendi corpses and attaching bits of their natural armour to regular armour in order to anger them over disturbing their dead. Normally he wouldn't do something so grisly, but his commanders are actively trying to get him and his men killed, so he goes to whatever lengths necessary to keep them alive. If that means drawing every arrow from the Parshendi archers toward him, so be it. | |

In The Stress of Her Regard, Shelley's attempt to obtain a magical resurrection for his recently-deceased daughter requires him to smuggle her corpse through a security checkpoint disguised as an oversized puppet. And the guards insist on him putting on a show with the puppet before letting him through. The entire experience is deeply unpleasant — and all for nothing, as the resurrection fails. | |

Elementary episode "Dead Man's Switch" has blackmailer Charles Augustus Milverton being killed and when the body is found his face has been stamped in. Unlike the book this is because the killer, Anthony Pistone, wanted to hide the scar that has inflicted from his ring, which would prove that they had previous contact and he was in on the blackmailing. Obara and Nymeria Sand are killed with their own weapons and then pinned to the prow of a ship by her spear or hung by her whip, respectively, albeit these two thoroughly deserved it. After Jeor Mormont is killed, the mutineers of the Night's Watch take over Craster's Keep and Karl Tanner drinks wine from Jeor's skull, as well as talking to it like it's a puppet. |

The Binding of Isaac has this as a game mechanic where shops and hidden rooms feature a corpse as the "shopkeeper", and destroying said corpse will modestly increase your odds of encountering a Devil Room at the end of that floor, and also has a chance of rewarding you with 2 pennies or (if you are extremely lucky) the Steam Sale pedestal item. | |

In Protector of the Small, Keladry normally buries enemy dead before they can be defiled by the Stormwings (see "When other people..." section below), but she allows them to have the Big Bad and his second-in-command because they're so monstrous. She also finds a young woman named Peliwin who was taken captive by Scanran soldiers cutting apart the body of a soldier who "hurt" (read: likely raped) her, and gently tells her to stop. | |

Tolkien's Legendarium: The Lord of the Rings: When the dwarf king Thrór was captured by orcs, the orc warlord Azog tortured him for days before beheading him, carving his name into his forehead, and then throwing his head down the steps of Moria before his corpse was subsequently cut up and fed to carrion birds.

Vaarsuvius in The Order of the Stick. After killing a black dragon for threatening the elf's family, Vaarsuvius animates its head as an undead, targets it with an epic spell that kills its bloodline and all of its extended relatives, taunts it for its failure, and then disintegrates it. | |

In Book IX of The Thebaid, the Thebans do everything in their power to capture Tydeus' corpse and cut it into so many bits that it will be impossible to give him a burial or a pyre. Considering his dying act, their hatred is at least understandable. | |

Sergeant Donowitz has the pleasure of killing Adolf Hitler in the movie theater in Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds. The theater is burning, the exits are blocked, and bombs are set to detonate. But that's not enough for "the Bear Jew," who repeatedly changes magazines to continue pumping bullets into Hitler's body. | |

Dragon Age: Origins: In the Return to Ostagar DLC, you find former King Cailan's naked, bloodied corpse strung up in a morbid display of metal debris shaped like ironic wings. You can then burn the corpse in a funeral pyre... or further desecrate it by leaving it to the wolves... or leave it as a monument to Darkspawn art. Tellingly, that last one angers most of the party, with the exception of Zevran. | |

Bulma, the ex, replies coldly, "Buried?" Cue screen shift to the original corpse still in the crater left by the explosion. | |

In Deathly Hallows, as in the book, Voldemort feeds Charity Burbage's corpse to Nagini. Later, he breaks open Dumbledore's tomb to steal the Elder Wand. |

In Assassin's Creed: Revelations, it's revealed that after murdering Al Mualim for betraying the assassin order in the first game, Altair decided to publicly burn his corpse in order to prove he was dead. This greatly troubled Abbas, one of his fellow assassins, who believed Al Mualim's corpse had to remain whole in order for his soul to reach the afterlife. In Altair's defense, it was not an act born out of spite, but for pragmatic reasons, as he wanted to make sure it was not another illusion created by Al Mualim. | |

Exaggerated in The Owl House. Emperor Belos has spent roughly four centuries cloning his older brother Caleb (who he murdered) in an attempt to create a version that would follow his orders. Said cloning process requires a bone from the oringal for each clone, and by the time of the penultimate episode he's made so many that there's nothing left of the corpse but a partial ribcage and spine. | |

Worldwar: In the first book, Moishe Russie is praying for some sort of sign as to whether he should remain a passive observer as the Lizards conquer Warsaw while it is under German occupation, or if he should rise up with other Jewish prisoners of the ghetto and assist the Lizards in striking the Nazis. He happens to catch sight of German troops manning an anti-aircraft gun set up in a cemetery, and one of the soldiers takes a brief break to go to the bathroom. He decides that seeing a German soldier pissing on Jewish graves and laughing about it is all the sign that he needs. | |

In Pathfinder, spells reanimating the dead are universally evil. The huecuva in particular is created from the corpse of an evil cleric, but appropriately skilled necromancers can turn even good clerics into the undead, which is considered blasphemy of the highest order. | |

"The Hound (1924)": A good portion of the protagonists' repulsive collection of objects they themselves have taken from graves are human body parts. There are "skulls of all shapes, and heads preserved in various stages of dissolution" as well as "the rotting, bald pates of famous noblemen, and the fresh and radiantly golden heads of new-buried children." Also present are taxidermied "comely, life-like bodies", but it's ambiguous if these bodies are of humans or animals and, in that same boat, how the protagonists acquired them. Among the evident purchases in the collection are antique mummies and a portfolio that is bound in tanned human skin. There is likely more, because the narrator hints at stuff even worse that he refuses to elaborate on. | |

Because one, he wanted to expose Genocide Jack as Toko Fukawa's Split Personality, and two, because, in his eyes, it made the Deadly Game more interesting. | |

One mission in the first Mass Effect involves a man trying to get his wife's body back after she's killed in action so he can properly bury her, but the Alliance wants to keep her body to do tests on it since they don't have much data on Geth weapons, which she was killed by. Whether or not her husband gets her back is up to the player's actions. | |

In Licence to Kill, drug kingpin Franz Sanchez captures a Hong Kong agent who he believed tried to assassinate him (in fact, it was an unrelated plot by James Bond to avenge his friend Felix Leiter). The agent commits suicide by Cyanide Pill before he can be questioned, and Sanchez shoots his corpse several times to vent his anger. | |

One episode of Murdoch Mysteries mentions a British army unit that dug up the corpse of an old foe and beheaded it. The victim is the soldier who did the actual beheading, slain by a retired partisan of said foe after a chance meeting. | |

Ask A Mortician: Several videos in her "iconic corpse" series involve people who have had their bodies stolen, dismembered or otherwise violated after death. Her video "Protecting Trans Bodies In Death" recounts the story of a trans woman who died suddenly, and whose body was made up to look like a man at the behest of a transphobic estranged relative (who was technically next of kin because she was too young to have written a will). The video goes on to give advice on how trans folk can make arrangements to avoid this. |

Kill Six Billion Demons: Incubus performed an interesting example of this trope: His teacher was a Cynic philosopher and wanted her body dealt with in the same way as Diogenes (to whit, letting wild dogs eat the corpse). So when said master died, Incubus did exactly that; chopped the body in pieces and fed it to wild dogs. Whether he did it as an intentional desecration, being too Literal-Minded in their master's teachingsnote Diogenes' point was more that, being dead, he was probably not in a position to care what was done to his corpse rather than genuinely wanting it mutilated or as a genuine mark of respect is left up in the air, though his fellow student Maya clearly views it as the first especially since Incubus killed said master. Jagganoth believes in a philosophy that states the body is only a shell that houses the being's death, which grows inside it like a seed: Once one's death has overtaken the body and the soul has moved on, the body is of no further concern. Consequently, while Jagganoth always kills as quickly and as painlessly as he can with no gloating or fuss, the ensuing body isn't always in a fit state for burial. He decapitates Mammon and tears his skull asunder, and then crushes Mottom to death and incinerates her body, in both cases to absorb their Magus Keys as quickly as possible. |

Tales for the Midnight Hour: "The Egyptian Coffin" centers around a night guard who habitually messes with the exhibits to assuage his boredom and irritation with his unwanted job. The night the museum transfers him to an Egyptian exhibit, the curator warns him against his usual tricks, because the Egyptians had curses in place for those who disrespected the dead. The guard ignores him and pays the price. | |

The physics engine in many games such as The Elder Scrolls series allows the player character to manhandle corpses, but this rarely gets you any repercussion other than a passing comment from the NPCs. It doesn't help that one of the most common ways to get new armor pieces is to peel them off a corpse, leaving said corpse in their skivvies (again, with nary a comment from NPCs). | |

While A Song of Ice and Fire has too many examples to list of Dead Guy on Display (see that trope for specifics), a more extreme version of corpse desecration is performed by Strong Belwas following his Combat by Champion against a Meereenese nobleman. In view of thousands of spectators, he cuts off his dead opponent's head, then squats to defecate in the direction of the city and wipes himself with the man's cloak. Then he loots the corpse and kills the man's horse. Notably, he was deliberately chosen as Danaerys' champion for his lack of "honour", being a freed gladiator, so even if the slavers' champion had won the fight it wouldn't have reflected well on him; as such, the defeat was already humiliating even before the desecration began. | |

In One Piece, Kozuki Oden is shown in the flashback to be using his friend's newly cremated remains to cook a pot of oden and dine on it. But subverted in that it's really his own weird way of Due to the Dead, by having one last meal with his late friend. It also establishes that he's an iconoclast who does things he sees as right, social norms be damned. | |

In Homer's epic poem The Iliad, the Greek hero Achilles slays the Trojan warrior Hector. After doing so, he ties Hector's body to the back of his chariot and races around the Trojan beach as revenge for killing his much-loved cousin and best friend Patrocles, proclaiming Greek superiority to Troy for twelve days and twelve nights. The Trojans do get their revenge, though, and even the Gods themselves are offended by Achilles's actions — it is the involvement of the Gods that prevents Hector's corpse from being further mutilated, and the end of the Iliad involves Hector getting a proper burial by the Trojans. | |

In the Warhammer universe, the forces of Chaos are very fond of this trope — they generally make grotesque trophies of their fallen foes, often decorating their armor spikes with the heads. | |

Played with in Space: Above and Beyond where the alien Chigs mutilate human corpses. At first it's assumed to be For the Evulz or scientific curiosity, but it turns out they just misunderstood the Gospel as meaning that humans can come back to life after being killed. | |

In Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair after Mikan Tsumiki kills Hiyoko Saionji, who had been bullying her ever since they met (although this is not the reason why she kills her), Mikan ties the knot of Hiyoko's obi to the front of her kimono, which was how prostitutes used to wear their kimono, as it makes it easier to take them on and off. Mikan is non-verbally calling Hiyoko a "trashy skank", which was one of Hiyoko's favourite insults for Mikan. | |

Fairy May Cry: The sequel story, Devil's Retribution, reveals that the Order of the Sword headed by Sanctus had found Sparda's corpse years ago, and had been using it for all sorts of experiments, most notably impregnating a woman with his DNA and reproductive organs, allowing Nero to be born. Everybody in Fairy Tail, especially Sparda's son Dante, is enraged when they learn the news, and Zeref, who was friends with Sparda, states that their actions are beyond forgiveness. | |

The Cinder Spires: Set in a massive tower named Albion, infiltrating soldiers from Spire Aurora happen upon a young exterminator who was taking an extra job alone. After he is brutally tortured but still alive, the violent and dangerous woman who tortured him tells the lead Auroran to take the man and send him into a nest of young monsters called Silkweavers to hide the remain evidence of her torture on the body and then dispose of what remains where his people can find it and assume he simply was overwhelmed by the monsters. The officer and his close friend find they cannot willingly send a man into such a fate to die, and instead has the exterminaor's neck snapped cleanly before sending it up now to be desecrated. When the heroes happen upon the wake for the exterminator, they realize his neck was snapped and so cleanly it couldn't have been done by the monsters. | |

A possible event in Stellaris is a science ship encountering what turns out to be a coffin of a previously-unidentified alien body floating adrift in space, with the option to either just study the outside for some sociological research points or open it up and study everything for research points in all three areas (sociological, physical, engineering). If the latter is done, there's a chance the species the body came from will be met later, who will know what was done and will be rather unhappy about it. | |

Ace Attorney has an example in "Trials and Tribulations" involving Dahlia Hawthorne's spirit, as Phoenix Wright and Mia Fey (who is using Pearl's body) taunt and mock her about her failed crimes in order for her to get out of Maya Fey's body. Dahlia must then spend the rest of her time in the afterlife to forever think about these failures, especially since Mia took great glee in pouring salt on Dahlia's wounds. Since Dahlia was an unrepentant murderer who arranged her own stepsister's death, manipulated the man she'd convinced to perform the murder into committing suicide, and tried to frame Phoenix himself for a murder she committed, this is generally considered one of the highlights of the game. | |

The Yautja from the Predator films skin their prey and dangle the body upside down, or simply rip the head and spinal cord and keep it as a trophy. Subverted because among the Yautja (who have Blue-and-Orange Morality) this treatment is a sign of an honourable kill, especially if they take the skull (reserved only for the Worthiest Opponents). Played straight with Yautja Badbloods, individuals who have severely violated the species' honour code and brought disgrace to the species, usually by killing children, pregnant females or other dishonourable prey — these outcasts are hunted across the galaxy and when caught, are tortured to death and the head is removed and thrown away as a final insult to the offender. | |

Code Prime: Like in canon, Megatron has no problem using Dark Energon to raise the dead as Terrorcons to do his bidding, but what seriously crosses the line of this trope is when he takes Marianne's preserved corpse and uses cybernetic augmentation and Dark Energon to revive it as a mindless puppet of his will, which he uses to operate the Dark Queen Knightmare. Seeing this outrages everyone, and nearly drives Lelouch into an emotional breakdown. | |

Star Trek: Voyager: Invoked in "Nemesis". The episode features a war between two alien species, the monstrous-like Kradin, and the human-looking Vori. A Vori commander lists the many atrocities the Kradin commit, including regularly desecrating the dead. It later turns out the episode is spent in a brainwashing camp, used to convince people the Kradin are Always Chaotic Evil. At the end Janeway confesses she does not know if the Kradin commit any of those crimes, but they accuse the Vori of the same things. | |

When he later assassinates Fracesco de Pazzi, he leaves his corpse hanging from the Palazzo della Signoria. In Assassin's Creed: Revelations, it's revealed that after murdering Al Mualim for betraying the assassin order in the first game, Altair decided to publicly burn his corpse in order to prove he was dead. This greatly troubled Abbas, one of his fellow assassins, who believed Al Mualim's corpse had to remain whole in order for his soul to reach the afterlife. In Altair's defense, it was not an act born out of spite, but for pragmatic reasons, as he wanted to make sure it was not another illusion created by Al Mualim. |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: In "Suspicions", it is revealed that the Ferengi have very strict rules about the handling of their dead that precludes medical examinations being performed on their bodies. When Dr. Crusher is convinced that a Ferengi scientist had been murdered, but can find no leads through any other means, she conducts an autopsy to confirm her suspicions, violating Ferengi customs and jeopardizing her commission and licence. | |
