So, your hero has managed to showcase his woodland prowess felling a powerful woodlands creature with naught but a pointy stick, a bit of dental floss and gum. What better way to show his superiority over nature than to show him fully clothed in animal skin attire? Especially manly characters will wear the entire open-mouthed head of the animal as a hood, as in the page picture. In Real Life, this would be a complicated process. note Tanning the leather (for the curious, converting a fresh animal skin into usable leather, especially in medieval and classical times, was an extremely long and labor-intensive process — we're talking months of work here, involving noxious and smelly chemicals like quicklime, animal brains, urine, etc.), cutting it, and then sewing it back into a wearable suit. However, you're not likely to see this in an action based series because it's time consuming and not as fun to watch as the slaying of the creature. Despite all this, the trope is used because it's just that cool. If it's in a tundra or very cold environment, expect this to be used to justify his survival in this environment. If portrayed realistically, it serves as an example of good survival skills (trained hunters know how to skin and butcher a downed large animal in a few hours' span with only their knives) and (if the hunter is stranded in the wild) his adaptation to his new environment. The trope namer is the Nemean Lion slain by Heracles. Can also overlap with Pelts of the Barbarian and with Head Hat. Compare Carcass Sleeping Bag, for when you don't have access to magical tanning skills. Also compare Animal Disguise, which may be made of an actual animal skin. See also Improvised Clothes. |

Adventure Time: In the episode "Susan Strong", Finn discovers a tribe of humans at least, he thinks they're humans, that wear animal skins as hats, similar to Finn's own hat. The fifth season episode "Little Dude" left Finn with the need for a new hat. The seventh season revealed the reason for the animal skin hats: a thousand years prior, shortly after the apocalypse, humans began wearing them to disguise their appearance and scent from vampires and other creatures that wished to feast on them. The trend stuck even after such dangers were eradicated. |

Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith has Tarkin leading a team of expert bounty hunters to hunt down and kill Darth Vader. The story opens with the bounty hunters seeing Vader in the distance, wearing the skin of an animal that can change to fit its surroundings. Apart from this useful feature, Tarkin also notes that the animal was the apex predator on the planet, so Vader flaunting the cloak also serves as a Badass Boast to his hunters. | |

In one scene in X-Men: Regenesis, Cyclops is seen wearing a hood made from a lion's head. Word of God is that the writer made a slight typo in describing the scene to the artist, writing "lion cloth" instead of "loin cloth", but they kept it as-is. | |

Monster Hunter: This trope is required to move beyond starter equipment because the stuff you find in the shops is quickly outdated. However, while most of your armor and weaponry are made of the bones, shell, and hide of things you hunt down and kill/capture, you never make it yourself during a hunt, but rather take the materials in to a professional to have them processed and crafted into a suit of armor/weapon (As demonstrated in the opening of Freedom Unite, which explains why crafting also costs money on-top of materials). There's also the Nerscylla in Monster Hunter 4'', which is known to skin Gypceros hides to wear, as well as the Shrouded Nerscylla which wears Khezu hides. | |

Justice League: In the episode "Hereafter," Superman, having been blasted into the far future, under a red sun, is accosted by big mutated wolves, until he makes himself a sword and kills their leader, wearing its skin as a cape afterward. It clearly took time for him to fashion the skin into a cape, which would certainly be easier than making it into a tunic or something anyway and require way less skill to pull off. | |

World of Warcraft: If you take the skinning profession then you can skin any beast (and a few smaller critters) as long as you've got a high enough skill level. This ranges from rabbits to massive dragons. And often enough, in skinning both huge and tiny animals, you tend to get the same kind of leather in the same amount. E.g., giant dinosaur and tiny gazelle might give 1-2 Light Leather each. Oh, but you can't skin Tauren. No matter how badly you may want to. Some bosses give specific leathers that can't be acquired any other way, though they've let this practice pass and any equipment from this will now be entirely out of date. | |

Gary Jennings' monumental novel Aztec chronicles the life of Mixtli, a man who rises in Aztec society just before the Spanish conquest. One episode cocerns Mixtli and his trading expedition fighting and killing a jaguar. The animal is skinned with the intention of having the skin tanned and preserved when they reach a town; a slave is detailed to wear the uncured skin. Unfortunately for the slave it takes several days to reach a town where the skin could be cured and tanned; Mixtli drily notes that by then, it has rotted under the Mexican sun and everybody is trying not to stand too close to the hapless slave. | |

In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, officers of the Stormcloak Rebellion wear a bearskin cape and cowl, while a Dragonborn who maxes out their Smithing skill can craft a suit of Dragonbone or Dragonscale armor (as well as Dragonbone weapons). There's also the quest for the Daedric Prince Hircine where you're sent to kill and skin a werewolf to make a piece of armor. Also, while he's not seen wearing anything like this outside of game mods, a particularly infamous werewolf hunter is named "Krev The Skinner." | |

At one point, a Courier with the Terrifying Presence perk can panic Caesar's spymaster by boasting "I'll wear your head like you wear that dog's." The Lonesome Road DLC adds Colonel Royez, a superboss who wears a unique suit of Powered Armor decorated with bear fur. |

American Dad!: In the episode "Bush Comes to Dinner" when Stan drops Hayley into his "Pit of No Return", she shows up alive later, prompting Stan to ask how she got past what was supposedly his guard beasts (we don't know what they were for sure because Hayley cuts him off). She killed them all, even the younglings, and used their hides to make Stan a wallet. | |

Codex Alera: Canim Ritualists are believers in this trope and dress themselves in cloaks made from the skins of their enemies. Since most of the Canim encountered in the series are those who war with and raid human realms, most of the witnessed Ritualists dress in human-skin cloaks. The Shuaran Ritualists, on the other hand, dress in Vord-chitin robes. | |

Far Cry Primal features quite a few examples of this, since the game is set in prehistoric Central Europe. On the evil side, Warchief Ull of the Udam tribe wears the skin of a massive white cave bear with its head visible over his back. On the protagonist's side, Jayma the huntress and Tensay the shaman both wear wolf skins, and in Tensay's case, he wears a pair of deer antlers in his wolf's head. | |

Dungeons & Dragons has the longstanding tradition of converting a dragon corpse into one or more sets of dragonhide armor. Older editions tend to note what magic items or whatnot a given monster can be converted into - the aurumvorax, for example, is a badger-like beast that eats precious metals, but if slain with a minimum of slashing damage, its golden pelt can be worth a small fortune, or serve as flashy armor. | |

The Venture Brothers: In the "Ice Station Impossible!" episode, Brock does this to a polar bear in seconds to help Dr. Venture survive being dumped naked in the tundra. In fairness, both Brock and the bear pelt were absolutely covered in blood. That didn't stop Dr. Venture from wearing it for the rest of the episode, including after he got back to the station, and while working in the lab to cure a volatile mutagen. | |

In Through Wolf's Eyes, Firekeeper's original outfit was made out of the hide of a deer she had killed herself. It is explicitly mentioned that the leather of her outfit is of low quality, as she was literally Raised by Wolves and knew nothing of practical tanning. The garment design itself is also of low quality (She basically just cut a hole in the middle of the crudely tanned hide and stuck her head through it, then cut off a thin strip to use as a belt), as she also knew nothing of practical tailoring. | |

In BattleTech, within Clan Ghost Bear, Warriors may undergo the Clawing Ritual in which teams of high-ranking unClawed warriors are given basic provisions including a simple metal spear and hunting dogs, and journey into Strana Mechty's punishing Antarctic region to kill a ghost bear and bring back its carcass as proof. If successful the Warriors feast on the bear's meat and a cloak is made for each member of the hunting party (due to a ghost bear's size there is enough hide to make a good-sized cloak for every member), with the Warrior who landed the killing blow being allowed to ornament his or her own cloak with the animal's teeth while the other participants ornament theirs with the animal's claws. Most outside Clan Ghost Bear consider it counter-intuitive that the Clan hunts and kills their totem animal but it is justified by Clan Ghost Bear since these expeditions are very rarely successful. Warriors who succeed gain considerable prestige within the Clan and receive more consideration for rank advancement. | |

Warhammer 40,000: The Marines of some Astartes Chapters (such as the Space Wolves and Salamanders) cover their armour with cloaks, charms and fetishes made from the skins of their homeworld’s most ferocious lifeforms. These skins are often from the creatures that the Marine had to slay as part of their Chapter’s initiation rituals, such as the pelt of the great Blackmaned Wolf that gave Ragnar Blackmane his name. The Chaos Marine Mad Scientist Fabius Bile is famous for wearing a lab coat made from human skin. |

Warhammer: The White Lions of Chrace, the elite bodyguards of the High Elf Phoenix King, wear the pelts of the beasts they take their name from with Korhil, the Captain of the White Lions, wearing the hide of the mutated great lion Charndis that he strangled with his bare hands. These lion cloaks are so thick that they grant their wearers added protection against missile attacks. The Black Arc Corsairs of the Dark Elves wear cloaks made from the scales of the sea dragons that inhabit the waters surrounding Naggaroth. Although light and flexible, these scale cloaks are incredibly tough, offering perfect protection for the otherwise lightly armoured piratical raiders. |

Final Fantasy Tactics: You can get certain weapons, armors and accessories by poaching monsters and trading them—all you have to do is equip the relevant support skill and have that character do the last hit on the monster. The skinning happens instantly and removes the monster, corpse and all, from the battlefield. Very useful for getting rid of ghost- and zombie-type enemies, who have a chance of coming back to life every time they die. | |

You can do this to various creatures in Dungeon Crawl. Things like yaks and elephants will just give you plain ol' animal skins, but chopping up trolls and dragons gets you better-quality hides. You still have to enchant said hides in order to make worthwhile armor out of them, though (after all, you don't have the time or the equipment to craft armor the old-fashioned way). | |

In Hajime no Ippo, Takamura once took out a bear by punching it a bunch of times. He let the bear live because she was only protecting her cub. However, Nekota came across the bear, killed it, and made bear stew. In Takamura's next fight, he wore the bear skin as part of his grand entrance. | |

Toukiden: The body parts of the large oni are purified and made into various armor and weapon. They don't resemble their source materials, but they do give similar traits. | |

A very common foe in Scion. "Nemean" is a term that refers to any animal that is supernaturally huge, powerful, and evil, usually somehow related to the titans. A nemean lion can be the size of an elephant. A nemean elephant can be the size of a house. All of them generally look like gigantic versions of the common animals, but sometimes they have some monstrous features. The skin of a nemean animal is nigh impenetrable, and many heroes have made coats, cloaks, or jackets from nemean beast skin that are the best non-Relic armor available in the setting (and often enough, they become Relics). On a sidenote, once you become so powerful that a lion the size of an elephant is your version of a common mook, don't worry: there are also Typhonian animals, that are big enough to provide a serious challenge to gods. A typhonian lion can be the size of a tall building, its hide is even tougher, and if you skin it, is even better a prize... | |

Tarzan of the Apes novel: Averted, believe it or not. Tarzan kills a big cat and plans to wear its skin: "But he found the hide had dried as stiff as a board, and as he knew naught of tanning, he was forced to abandon his cherished plan." | |

In Dr. STONE, Tsukasa skins the lion he killed seconds after being revived and wears its pelt as a cloak. This may be a direct reference to the original Heracles myth, since Tsukasa is the World's Strongest Man. | |

Wander over Yonder: The episode "The Bounty" depicts a case of this backfiring on the wearer, Evil Poacher Bounty Hunter Rongruffle the Huntress. When she runs afoul of another specimen of the alien species that provided her with her skull and pelt, it's none too pleased. | |

Hercules (2014): Hercules wears the skin of the Nemean lion (or a lion at least, since that story was possibly made up in-universe: it's left ambiguous in the film). | |

Dexter's Laboratory: Similar to the Foster's example below, the episode "Dexter the Barbarian" has Dexter, imagining he's a barbarian warrior, wearing a fur like this after fighting a pack of wolves. It later turns out that he had shaved the family dog. | |

My Side of the Mountain has the protagonist kill a deer through use of traps, and the process of tanning its hide is long, complicated, and detailed. Kid has a good memory. | |
