When a fierce, trophy-collecting warrior wants to be practical, he won't just make the remains of his enemies into a fetish. He'll make them into something useful. Like a cup. If you want to make somebody threatening or as a sure sign of villainy, this is a way to suggest that a person is so cold they are unaffected by drinking from the remains of their dead enemies, as well as it being a grand form of humiliation and a warning to other foes. The use of someone's skull as such may also be a threat used during a Badass Boast. The beverage in question may be blood, but is typically wine or some sort of elixir that may necessarily need to be imbibed from an enemy's skull. Other situations in which this trope commonly occurs include proposing a toast to the defeat of the enemy in question or intentionally wrong Shakespeare parodies. Drinking or eating brains from a skull is a different thing. Compare Creepy Souvenir. |

Amos Cottle's 1797 translation of the Poetic Edda was prefaced with a dedicatory poem by Robert Southey, which claims that the sons of Ragnar Lodbrok, having put King Ella to death to avenge their father, believed they would drink mead from Ella's skull in the afterlife ("in the shield-roof'd hall they thought / One day from Ella's skull to quaff the mead"). | |

Toward the end of A Scotsman in Egypt, a Scottish defector tells a Timurid general the story of King Istok of Hungary and how he dealt a shocking defeat to Scotland by killing both its king and one of its best generals. The latter's mangled skull ended up a paper holder, but the Scottish king's skull was properly converted into a goblet, allowing Istok to taunt that he and their former king "drink every night in my study." A second Scottish army is dispatched by the next Scottish king both to avenge the previous defeat, and to "Bring my brother home." In an awesome twist, the whole account is a fiction, part of a Fake Defector's ruse to lure the Timurid horde into a Scottish trap. | |

Played with in that Corvin is a slimy edgelord wannabee who had the cup made from a random, centuries-dead skull from the Paris catacombs ... although it'd be entirely in-character if he were to pretend it was that of an enemy. | |

Played for laughs in the Oglaf strip "Skulls!". A king calls for the skull of an enemy to drink from. The wine runs out of the eye holes, so the king tries to find an enemy with no eyes. He eventually kills a giant worm that fulfills the requirement, but it turn out it has no skull either. | |

In the Latin translation of the Old Norse "Krákumál" a.k.a. "The Death-Song of Ragnar Lodbrok" made in 1635 by the Danish antiquarian Ole Worm, Ragnar Lodbrok expresses his belief that after his earthly demise, he will drink beer "from the curved hollows of skulls" in Odin's hall. In his commentary, Worm elaborated that the heroes of old "believed that in Odin's hall they would drink from the skulls of those they had slain". In reality, Worm's translation is wrong, as the Old Norse text actually means "from curved trees of the skull", which is to say, from drinking horns (because they grow on a bovine skull). As early translations of "Krákumál" into English were based on Worm's Latin version rather than the original, popular wisdom in Britain and elsewhere maintained far into the 19th century that Vikings used to drink from skull cups, or hoped to do so in the afterlife (they did neither). | |

Game of Thrones. Karl Tanner drinks from the skull of Lord Commander Mormont, whom he killed in The Mutiny. Rickon claims that Old Nan once told him that Wildlings turn the skulls of their victims into cups and make you drink your own blood from it. Apparently he hasn't noticed any problems with how that's supposed to work. Osha, a former Wildling, stares at him throughout the story and then decides to troll him by saying she feels thirsty while patting him on the head. |

Background for The Princess Diaries, of all things. The founder of Mia's royal bloodline, Queen Rosamunde, was forcibly married by an invading general, who on their wedding night made her drink wine out of a cup made from her dead father's skull. She was so outraged by this that once he'd fallen asleep she strangled him with her long braid of hair. This impressed the General's followers so much that they accepted her as Queen instead. | |
