Piles of bones composed of... well... nothing but skulls. The rest of the bones vanish without explanation. It doesn't matter whether the victims were killed by ancient death traps, man-eating monsters or barbarian hordes; nothing remains but the skull. There are good narrative and practical reasons for this. A human skull is instantly recognizable, making it a powerful symbol of death. Other bones do not carry the same emotive weight; few people could identify a human kneecap on sight, let alone associate it with atrocities. It helps too that skulls stack up so neatly. Or perhaps it's the fact that skulls represent a one-to-one ratio of bones to corpses, giving an instant clue on how many lives must have (been) ended to produce this. While a given human has multiple of the majority of other bones (and the most visible exception, the spine, takes up a lot more room per victim). It's also what you're left with when you take heads as trophies and leave the rest on the battlefield. Whatever the case, when warlords and writers want to evoke terror, they create gargantuan piles of Nothing But Skulls. And stand on them. It's an old trope, but still effective. Skeletons in the Coat Closet is for when skulls and other bones are used as accessories and on clothing. Beware the Skull Base refers to when skulls and skeletal aesthetics contribute to the design of a sinister location, whether it be a natural skull or an artificial one. For skulls (usually animal ones) that are mostly seen alone, without the rest of the skeleton or other skulls, see Desert Skull and Sinister Deer Skull. After reading this page, skull will no longer sound like a word. |

In The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas are nearly buried under an avalanche of Nothing But Skulls. (This scene only appears in the extended version, not the theatrical cut.) The writers comment on this, explaining that there were different rooms for each bone, and if Aragon, Legolas, and Gimli had been in a different part of the cave they would have been buried under a pile of femurs, or kneecaps, or something. | |

In The Last Circus the crazed out main character takes his captive love interest to his hideout at the "Valley of the Fallen", which has catacombs with walls covered by masses of skulls. Valle de los CaÃdos is a real place, and reportedly it holds the remains of over 30,000 dead from both sides of the Spanish Civil War. However, the fallen of the Civil War were supposedly laid to rest in special tombs behind the chapels on the sides of the basilica, so it's very unlikely it looks as theatrical as the film suggests. | |

Played with in The Mandalorian. The title character goes to find his fellow Mandalorians in their hidden base and is shocked to find a pile of their helmets, which you would have to kill a Mandalorian to remove. Rather than a Monument of Humiliation and Defeat by Imperial troops, it turns out the helmets have been gathered up by the Armorer from the dead Mandalorians, so they can be melted down and reforged. | |

The Dungeons & Dragons Greyhawk campaign setting features the Empire of Iuz. The capital city's main road is paved with skulls of Iuz's enemies. It stretches for over a hundred miles to the north of the capital, to the first petty fief Iuz took over. It's also being expanded towards the southeast to the city of Molag, more than doubling its length. The Greyhawk cosmology/Planescape campaign features (or once featured) the Pillar of Skulls on Baator, composed of the skulls of those who hid knowledge from another, and as a result the person they hid it from died. |

The Legend of Zelda series: Skulls often replace crates and jars in natural caves. There are usually no other bones, or corpses outside undead-themed dungeons, and the sheer number of them suggests that someone is shooting green rupees out of a slingshot to kill enemies. It's reasonable to assume the 'normal' skulls are just dead skull-enemies. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: In the Shadow Temple, there are rooms where the floors, walls and ceilings are made entirely out of skulls. The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds: In Lorule, skulls take on the role of, and are as common as, the pots seen in Hyrule and in the other games. Lorule Castle is especially packed with them. |

Squidbillies: Dan Halen uses a pile of his employee's skulls to top off "Mount Murder". The last surviving manager, Glen, tells him it would look better with one more on top, hands him an axe and positions his head exactly where he thinks the last skull should go. | |

The Terminator: The opening 'Future War' segment features an apparent carpet of Nothing But Skulls, seemingly specifically so Skynet's mecha can symbolically crush them beneath their feet and treads as they engage Resistance troops in yet another bitter firefight. A Shout-Out to this can be found in the losing cinematics of Wing Commander III, with a Kilrathi foot in combat armor doing the crushing. A T-800 without flesh cover is seen crushing skulls with his foot in the similar opening of Terminator 2: Judgment Day. | |

In The Night Angel Trilogy, there's a bridge in Khaliras made entirely out of skulls and magic. The only real point of the skulls is to intimidate and show where the bridge actually is (it's possible to cross it with the skulls gone). Did I mention this bridge crosses what appears to be a mile wide bottomless chasm, and is the only way into the castle? | |

Gaunt's Ghosts, Blood Pact: A rumor circulates about a valley filled with millions of dusty skulls with the tops sawn off. To the point that it scares the crap out of hardened veterans of several wars, and even freaks out Gaunt himself a bit.

Darkest Dungeon has a ridiculous number of skulls around the place. There are some proper skeletons (a lot of proper skeletons, actually), but there are also, for example, some backdrops in the Ruins that have a bunch of skulls just sitting there. And Darkest Dungeon 2 has even more, most notably in the Tangle, which goes so far as to have about half the path your coach is going down full of skulls poking up out of the mud. | |

Warhammer 40,000: The skull is a very common motif in this game, particularly the in the Imperium, which more often than not uses representations of skulls rather than the real thing. Chaos forces uses this motif somewhat less (for the most part), although they will use actual skulls more often. "Skulls for the Skull Throne!" Chaos worshippers like building altars out of them or wearing them on trophy racks, while the Imperium has flying skull-robots and buildings with skulls of the dead in shrines on the walls. The Space Marines' Power Armor is usually decorated with skulls made of solid gold, and occasionally real skulls as well. One of the most recognizable emblems of the Imperium is a skull. Sometimes with wings. And a Chaos Titan is once depicted with a necklace of skulls. Providing how humongous the thing is you could guess how many skulls that would take. Skulltaker, one of the Blood God's more dangerous servants, wears a cloak◊ made of the skulls of his fallen opponents. His table top miniature has no less than 137 skulls modeled on it. This is a classic basing technique to make power-armored Khorne Lords stand out from the rank-and-file. Simply clip skulls off of Chaos trophy racks, arrange in a pile, and mount a miniature on top. The Orkz are fond of taking skulls as trophies, much like the followers of Khorne. Expect to see at least one skull decorating a Warboss and-or his entourage. As are the Dark Eldar. The special character Kheradruakh the Decapitator has thousands of skulls from various races lining the walls of his lair, all positioned carefully so their gaze converges on a central point where he sits. Creepy. This is a common dig or in-joke on certain forums regarding certain models in the overall Games Workshop range gaining more and more skulls. Case in point...◊ The aptly named Khorne Lord of Skulls model has so many skulls on it that according to an interview in White Dwarf, the sculptor lost count somewhere after 200. It has several different components that, in-universe, are basically metal frames used to hold skulls in place. And now, there's a kit that's literally nothing but skulls (of multiple species and variations, though the grand majority are human). |

Doctor Who: Episode 2 of the first serial, "An Unearthly Child", was called "The Cave Of Skulls", and it featured a cave full of skulls. "The Wedding of River Song", which featured a crypt full of living skulls, leftovers from the process of creating Headless Monks. In "Heaven Sent", the Doctor makes a High-Dive Escape from the castle into the ocean, only to discover that the seabed is covered in nothing but skulls. The viewer later learns that the skulls are all his, the only remaining piece of him after he disintegrates himself to teleport in a new clone, that have piled up over thousands and eventually billions of years. |

Downplayed in Mega Man 4, with Skull Man's territory. All of the walls and floors/platforms are made of bones (or more likely, metallic girders that are made to look like bones), but they are all straight-line bones like the ones from the leg. No big rows of skulls. The closest they come is a species of mook that looks like a whole skeleton, and a few whole dinosaur skeletons in the walls of the background. Then Mega Man confronts Skull Man himself, and the trope is in much fuller play, when Skull Man not only resembles a skeleton, but surrounds himself with a deflector shield of four skulls that revolve around him. | |

Myth: The Myrkridia, horrible lycanthropic monsters from Bungie's series of games, make the skulls of their victims into platforms that rise thirty feet high and then are adorned with the Myrkridian standard. The precision with which the skulls are fitted is said to be maddening to behold. | |

The catacombs under Venice in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade had niches in the walls that contained only skulls, one to a niche. Justified in that the skull is the "densest" indicator of death, those niches were probably high-density tombs and crypts. The body may not reside there, but the skull and the soul are there. | |

Rurouni Kenshin: Hell is depicted as full of mountains of skulls; during Kenshin's Heroic BSoD, he imagines himself there as Shishio taunts him. Shishio, Yumi, and Hoji are also depicted in this Hell shortly after their deaths, quite cheerful about it and setting off to conquer the place. This sequence is notably the only supernatural event in the series that cannot be put down to either 'Watsuki physics' or somebody hallucinating, because there's nobody to hallucinate; it's just the omniscient audience's perspective of these guys hanging out among the skulls. |

The Flux of Mortal Things. The crew of Voyager are on a planet that recently experienced a genocidal interspecies war. B'Elanna Torres and Seven of Nine visit a local temple and find thousands of skulls piled there, not to mourn the dead but in celebration of it. | |
