The human skeleton is pretty tough. If you drink a lot of milk and get plenty of sunshine,* This being just one of the many ways you can get Vitamin D from your surrounding environment, which is just as important in maintaining your bones as the calcium in your diet your bones can grow to be stronger than concrete* By weight, anyway. A pound of bone is stronger than a pound of concrete, but only just.; shattering a bone requires a really, really strong hit, as in "crashing your car at 60 km/h"-strong. Did you know that crematoria actually grind bones because otherwise, the fragments could be too big to fit in the urns? But a lot of science fiction writers seem to think that the skeleton is absolutely impervious to any weapon. Hit 'em with Energy Weapons (especially Disintegrator Rays), fry 'em with electricity, dunk 'em in acid, all that will be left is a skeleton. If it's technology that does it, the resulting skeleton is usually bleached white like a medical grade demonstration. If magic, the resulting skeleton is normally old and dusty. The skeleton will also typically still be joined together perfectly, even if all the sinews and tissues that hold it together have been destroyed. Almost like it's some kind of prop or something. Alternatively, it may hold its position prior to being exposed for just a moment, before comically falling to pieces, perhaps with a xylophone sound, especially if being Played for Laughs. Arguably, of course, the bones are the hardest and densest structures in the human body (the jaw and teeth especially) so it would make sense that the skeleton would be the last body part to be destroyed. Of course, when whatever substance that has disintegrated the rest of the body has also been known to destroy much tougher substances, it goes from being understandable to an expected Sci-Fi trope. Also occurs in fantasy settings. The purpose of this trope, of course, is shock-effect rather than realism: i.e. to visibly communicate the fact that the person is really dead since their simply disappearing wouldn't have nearly the same impact as seeing them instantly turned into The Grim Reaper's twin brother. Meanwhile, at the same time, it's "cleaner" and less gruesome to show a person turned into a Halloween-type skeleton than the blood-and-gore of nastier deaths, while likewise being more devastating since it would obviously take more of an impact to strip someone to the bones than simply gouge the flesh. A variant of this trope is to have a person be reduced to a skeleton, let them stay like that for the briefest of moments, and then have the skeleton disintegrate or disappear. Compare X-Ray Sparks, when someone's skeleton is briefly visible through their skin. Occasionally, that trope may cross over with this one. If somehow the skeleton can keep moving well after this fact (or never even needed organic matter to do it), see Dem Bones. This might be part of why people are Made of Iron. Also, compare Made of Plasticine; here, everything but the skeleton appears to be. See also Robotic Reveal. Not to be confused with Shameful Strip, where a person is forcibly stripped to the skin but is at least allowed to keep that. As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware. |

Dr. Jon Osterman's disintegration in Watchmen, where the skeleton's visibly the last part to go. Slight variation in the film version as you see him stripped away layer by layer like an anatomy textbook... And then reconstituted the same way, which looked pretty sweet. Dan's Nuclear Nightmare is a variation of this, very similar to the Terminator II version. |

The opening scenes of Terminator 2: Judgment Day established that human skeletons can survive nuclear Armageddon, but not being stepped on by a T-800 chassis. Later in the movie, Sarah Connor's dream in the Mexican desert shows her hanging to a fence when caught in the blast of a nuclear weapon. The flesh is blown away like dust, yet the skeleton remains intact, held together, and keeps hanging on the fence. It is All a Dream. | |

In a gruesome Freeze-Frame Bonus, you can actually see what appears to be his almost entirely bare skull, with exposed teeth and now lacking any eyeballs before the rest of his body is completely vaporized. | |

Wonder Woman (1987): When Ares is finished possessing a human he intentionally causes their Possession Burnout to start boiling their flesh, which tends to leave a pile of smoldering bones with scraps of clothes and a bit of bubbling fluid them as their remains. When the White Magician suffers a Superpower Meltdown his magic burns away his flesh to leave only the bone, and then his bones crumble to ash as they fall to the ground. |

A Secret Six (second version, after the 60's originals but before the anti-villain incarnations)story from the late 80's in Action Comics Weekly (briefly an anthology series) had a corporation set a very corrosive cloud of acid rain over a small town, hoping to sell people protection from this 'new threat' later on. In the opener, the rain begins to fall; two teen girls part ways and try to make it home. One clearly does not. She passes out on the sidewalk, and the next panel shows she has been skeletonized; the next panel shows she is gone, and the plot tells that the whole town was lost, though if everyone met her exact fate is never revealed. | |

X-Men: Wolverine , when he's in the middle of an explosion, is completely destroyed, with the exception of his adamantium bones. He regenerates from a few brain cells that survive. This is justified because Wolverine's skeleton really IS indestructible. But the regeneration power depends on the writer, so in Days of Future Past, Wolverine is stripped to the bone, but here it means Killed Off for Real. The unstoppable, Nigh Invulnerable Juggernaut has also survived being Stripped to the Bone and magically regenerated. When they say "nothing can stop The Juggernaut", they apparently mean it. Subverted in that D'Spayre could have actually destroyed the bones too, he was just too shocked stupid by the fact that Juggernaut was a skeleton and was still coming at him. Ultimately, Juggs would have still lost if not for the timely intervention of D'Spayre's sister, Spite. |

Bleach: Barragan has an ability in his released form that will rot away all of the flesh, muscle, and organs of a person until all that is left are the bones. In the anime, when Soifon is hit in the arm, and summarily cuts it off to stop the decay from spreading, even the bones turn to dust and vanish. This later happens to Driscoll Berci when Yamamoto roasts him. This later happens to Robert Accutrone when Yhwach conducts a second Auswählen. And when he conducts a third one, it happens to Gerard Valkyrie. |

Tales of Monkey Island: Parodied in Chapter 5, when, after Guybrush fails to take the Cursed Cutlass of Kaflu, LeChuck shows him what it feels to be a ghost with a vulnerability to root beer; and Elaine, under the villain's influence as his demon bride, sprays root beer on Guybrush, making him scream and dissolving his transparent form, revealing a skeleton underneath that crumbles into nothingness. Thankfully, he rematerializes back at the Crossroads Center. If Guybrush tries returning to LeChuck's ship as a ghost, Elaine will repeatedly spray root beer at our hero and force him back into the Crossroads, making it pure horror. |

In Transformers: Dark of the Moon, it's shown that Cybertronian weaponry does this to humans. Which makes sense, really, given that they're designed to damage giant, metallic beings; it's no surprise that they'd rip through soft tissue like nothing. Notably, the blast force also blows the skeletons apart, leading to a brief but gruesome shot of a NEST trooper's bones flying through the air as a Decepticon blasts him with his laser rifle. | |

In F.E.A.R., Alma's psionic attacks tend to do this to her victims: the bodies are almost completely liquefied, but the bones remain intact. A less supernatural, more sci-fi example is when someone is killed by the Type-7 Particle Weapon, the game's equivalent to a Sniper Rifle: all matter in the corpse but the bones will vaporize, leaving behind a charred skeleton. | |

An episode of Heroes has this happen to Adam Monroe when Arthur Petrelli takes his ability, which doesn't make much sense since all of his cells would presumably still be fairly new from the constant rejuvenation. Since the same thing doesn't happen to Peter when his powers are taken means either Claire's version of Healing Factor has more Ontological Inertia than Adam's, or the writers just didn't think the visual through. In Volume 5, Samuel gets the drop on Sylar by enveloping him in a concentrated sandstorm which flays him alive. This being Sylar, he's healed by the next scene. |

A variation in Fist of the North Star. Usually, people explode into Ludicrous Gibs, but the Colonel of Godland is killed by Kenshiro in a manner that takes a new spin on the concept. As expected, the Colonel explodes into a gory mess when he dies... by ejecting his skeleton from his body. The skeleton also explodes in the anime, but is implied to be left behind in Godland in the manga. | |

Subverted by DC's post-Zero Hour Legion of Super-Heroes: Toward the end of a particular arc, several characters are apparently killed and one of them is Stripped to the Bone. Following the climax of the arc, it's revealed that none of them were killed; it was all part of a Batman Gambit, and the Stripped character was actually Invisible Kid exploiting his ability to turn parts of his body invisible while leaving other parts (in this case, his bones) visible. During the pre-Zero Hour: Crisis in Time! but Post-Crisis Legion stories set after the five-year jump and the fall of much of the galactic structure, Dominators and other aliens would often use weapons on the hapless that left nothing but a fried set of bones, most often not intact. |

Eternal Champions (the Dark Side) has a much more intense version of this trope. In Midknight's stage (Belgrave Square Labs), the sudden death involves the losing player being sent to a microwave machine. The machine quickly strips the player layer-by-layer by melting off their skin first, after a few seconds, the machine eventually melts off the muscles, reducing them to a skeleton. The trope is played even further when microwave burns the bones away themselves, leaving the losing victim into a framework of their nerves and internal organs which eventually explode and shatter the window. | |

In Starship Troopers, the Tanker bugs, giant 30 foot long beetles, spew burning corrosive fluid from their foreheads. In their first appearance, a trooper takes a hit on her arm, and the flesh quickly disentegrates, revealing glowing orange bones, before they crumble into orange goo. When the protagonists get evacuated from an outpost after being ambushed and overrun, two troopers get coverd head to toe with the fluid, and after their flesh burns off, their skeletons remain intact for a few seconds before collapsing into a puddle of burning orange liquid. | |

Mission 4 combines this with Beauty Is Never Tarnished: if Marco or Tarma get hit with the giant snails' acidic vomit in level 4, they will be reduced to skeletons and melt, but if Eri or Fio get hit, we only see their clothes melt off before they turn into a puddle of slime... |

Wolverine , when he's in the middle of an explosion, is completely destroyed, with the exception of his adamantium bones. He regenerates from a few brain cells that survive. This is justified because Wolverine's skeleton really IS indestructible.

The Owl House: In "Thanks to Them", all of the animals Belos possesses meet this fate as he consumes them from the inside out, leaving only the bones behind. Hunter avoids this fate by prematurely driving Belos out of his body, but judging by the fact that he's left Covered in Scars and barely clinging to life, it was a pretty close call. In the series finale, Belos himself mets his end in a similar way, his skin gets gruesomely melted by boiling rain until being reduced to just a pile of rotten bones and a still-sentient skull that gets violently stomped and crushed by Eda, King and Raine. |

Several characters in the Mortal Kombat series have fatalities that can do this, such as Scorpion (who breathes fire) or Reptile (who vomits acid). This also happens in the Dead Pool stage fatality from Mortal Kombat II, in which the opponent is knocked into a pool of acid. Sheeva's has to be the cruelest: she tears your flesh off. Sindel in Mortal Kombat 3 and Fujin in Mortal Kombat 4 blow the opponent's flesh off. Kano has a memorably weird version which involves pulling out a person's skeleton via their mouth (yes, even for the cyborgs whose heads are armored helmets and therefore have no mouth). He would brandish the (remarkably clean) skeleton for the camera, while the rest of his victim collapses into a pile like some kind of horrible meat glove. In one of his DC crossover fatalities, Raiden uses his electric powers to burn off all the opponent's flesh, leaving behind their smoking skeleton. |

A rather disturbing episode of The Ren & Stimpy Show features an insane Ren dropping Stimpy's precious already-dead mouse toy into a vat of acid. It skeletonizes, and then the skeleton dissolves, as Stimpy looks on in horror. In another episode, Stimpy buys a super powerful vacuum cleaner; as he turns it on, Ren happens to be standing in front of it. He tries to escape and clings to the rug, it ends up ripping off his skin and sucking out his organs; now a skeleton, he attempts to save his brain before being sucked inside. |

Fallout: In Fallout and Fallout 2, plasma weapons that kill a human or Super Mutant with a critical hit will melt all their flesh but leave bone and armor behind. Unusually for this trope, the bones fall apart completely. Weapons that inflict electrical damage, like the Alien Blaster or the Pulse Rifle and kill a target with a critical will turn the target's flesh and skin to dark ashes, leaving only a blackened skeleton standing in place, which also collapses in dark ash afterwards (and since it destroys the body, it means all their inventory falls on the floor, forcing you to pick it up piece by piece). Essential Visual Enhancements, or EVE for short, is a popular Game Mod for Fallout: New Vegas that adds, amongst other things, new Energy Weapons critical death animations that leave behind charred ribcages, skulls and other assorted bones. |

In The Elder Scrolls series, to permanently kill a dragon, you must first slay its physical form and then absorb its soul. While anyone of sufficient ability can do the former, only another dragon (or a Dragonborn) is capable of the latter. Failure to absorb a dragon's soul leaves open the possibility of it being resurrected in the future. In Skyrim, the Player Character is a Dragonborn of legend, a rare mortal gifted with the divine Aedric soul of a dragon. When the Dragonborn absorbs a dragon's soul, the flesh burns away, leaving only a smoldering skeleton. | |

Godzilla: In the original Godzilla (1954), the device that ultimately defeats Godzilla skeletonizes him and every living thing in the general area. Hedorah's acidic sludge has this effect on its victims in Godzilla vs. Hedorah. Godzilla was once again skeletonized in Godzilla vs. Destoroyah, only this time, it's because his flesh melted away. |

During the pre-Zero Hour: Crisis in Time! but Post-Crisis Legion stories set after the five-year jump and the fall of much of the galactic structure, Dominators and other aliens would often use weapons on the hapless that left nothing but a fried set of bones, most often not intact. | |

Magic: The Gathering The card Skeletonize connects this trope with Dem Bones. The page picture comes from the card Disintegrate, and the trend continues with Carbonize, older versions of Incinerate,note which incidentally is where the quote under the page picture comes from and the list goes on. You tend to see this more in Black and Red cards, they being the colors of death and destruction, respectively. However, White gets in on the action as well, being the color of "God will look after his own" and all. Behold, the infamous Wrath of God. |

Courage the Cowardly Dog: Courage's skin flies off when he gets scared by the tree talking to him in the episode "The Magic Tree of Nowhere". Later in "Food of the Dragon", it gets blown off when he's hit by a nuclear explosion caused by one of his failed attempts to help a dragon learn to fly. In "Courage in the Big Stinkin' City", Eustace has his skin and flesh eaten offscreen by an unseen creature living in the wall of a motel room. He's more concerned about not being able to find anything good on TV. Happens to a cow eaten by the carnivorous plants in "Dome of Doom". |

The Ultra Series have a few examples in it's early days, back when before censors started cranking down the violence levels in the show: This is the fate of the kaiju Oxter in Return of Ultraman. After being turned into bones by Ultraman Jack, he is finally being able to rest with the rest of his skeletonized herd at the bottom of a lake. Happens in an earlier episode with another monster called Kingstron. After Jack finds that his Specium Ray has no effect on the monster, he simply uses his Ultra Bracelet to skeletonize him. The same thing happens in a later episode when Ultraman Jack battles the rat-like monster Robonez (who is incidentally created from the same suit as Kingstron). Ultraman Ace: The monsters Aribunta and Hotarunga can fire acidic mists that dissolves their victims, leaving behind only skeletons. Aribunta does this to a whole subway full of people, onscreen, while for Hotarunga the audience only sees the aftermath of it's rampage, a destroyed truck with two human skeletons in it's front seat. Incidentally, this is another case of Prop Recycling from Tsuburaya's costuming department: Aribunta and Hotarunga are both insect-based monsters created from the same suit. In Ultraman Neos, King Dainas, a monster created when multiple dinosaur bones gets struck by Dark Thunder Energy, gets reverted back to a pile of bones by Neos. |

The Necrons of Warhammer 40,000 make extensive use of gauss weapons, firing green lightning that strips away the target, layer by molecular layer, often to the bone. The basic version employed by Necron grunts is even called the Gauss Flayer. A subversion, technically, as there is so much power even in the infantry versions to instantly vaporise enemy infantry. Plus the Necrons themselves, who take the worst of a fleshless Romero zombie and a Terminator and blend it into some of the most potent horror 40k has to offer. Dark Eldar beastmasters have flocks of Razorwings, alien birds with extremely sharp beaks and wingtips, that can strip a man to the bone in seconds. Much like the Hellboy tooth fairies, they eat bones and tear off the flesh to get to them. Dark Eldar also have a piece of arcane wargear called the Casket of Cleansing, which releases a swarm of invisible creatures that strip the flesh off their target's bones (they leave the brain intact, though, so the unfortunate victim can be aware of his final moments for as long as possible). |

In Captain Commando, the Mummy Commando (Jennety in Japan, Mack the Knife everywhere else) wields two daggers that emit purple smoke on impact. If used to defeat an opponent, the enemy gets back up, only to melt into a pile of bones in a puddle (with a glimpse of their skeleton before it crumbles). Since he uses them for almost every attack he has (including his basic punch), you'll be leaving a lot of those in your wake. | |

Doctor Who: "The Christmas Invasion": The Sycorax leader's whip is capable of killing humans in this fashion, and he uses it on Llewellyn and Major Blake. The Doctor, on the other hand, easily No-Sells it. "Silence in the Library"/"Forest of the Dead": The Vashta Nerada can do this to you in a fraction of a second. Red Shirts take note: When the Doctor says "Don't move," he means it. Probably justified considering the Vashta Nerada are living, and probably leave the bone deliberately. "Planet of the Dead": A London bus ends up travelling through a wormhole to an alien planet. The bus exterior is heavily damaged from the trip because of the insane level of radiation. As the Doctor is trying to explain this, the bus driver decides to walk back through the wormhole. He screams as all his flesh is vaporised and a skeleton stumbles through the wormhole to the horror of the police waiting outside. "The End of Time": The Master eats the staff of a charity food truck this way, leaving two homeless men he's chasing to discover them before they're eaten as well. |

In Doom³ one unfortunate scientist in Alpha Labs Sector 4 is trapped in a reactor room. You can activate the reactor in question, which gives you a Gory Discretion Shot of the scientist being killed, only leaving behind his skeleton once the reactor opens up again. In gameplay, killing a civilian zombie with the shotgun or chainsaw will cause their flesh to disintegrate, leaving behind a blood-soaked skeleton. | |

Happy Tree Friends: Several characters have died this way on occasion. In "Banjo Frenzy", Proto-Giggles' head instantly burns to her skull when it lands in the fire pit. In "Boo Do You Think You Are?", Flaky dies this way after a cauldron full of molten copper or lava is poured on her. In "Doggone It", Lumpy was mauled by a bunch of dogs, leaving only his antlers behind. In "Just Desert", a tornado finishes Lumpy off, reducing him to bones in the process. In "Something Fishy", Russell's piranha eats the flesh off his head. In "Breaking Wind", Flaky is reduced to her skeleton after being blasted by Splendid's massive fart. |

In Buffy the Vampire Slayer, when vampires are slain, their skeletons are often briefly visible before they crumble into dust. This trope is played much straighter with the Master, an old and powerful vampire, whose flesh and clothes spectacularly evaporate as he dies, leaving behind a perfect, intact skeleton, suitable for resurrection. Buffy and gang fix that with a sledgehammer a few months later. One wonders why similarly old and powerful vampires (like Kakistos and the Turok-Han) don't leave behind similar keepsakes. The skeletons appearing for a second didn't start occurring until the third season when the show's budget increased. Since Angel shared Buffy's budget from the get-go, it managed to have the "skeleton" effect right from its start. |

In the NES version of Dragon's Lair, many enemies and obstacles (and DOORS!) do this to Dirk regardless of the HP meter. Also, in the Game Over screen of the original laserdisc. And in Dragon's Lair II, in Level 6, if Dirk dies at the flesh melting gas at some parts, Dirk will have his every part of his flesh melted, reducing Dirk to a skeleton which does not crumble. In the same level, at one part, if Dirk fails to slice the spider... the spider eats the flesh of Dirk's arm, with Dirk's Oh, Crap! expression on his face. Level 7 also had Monster Daphne putting Dirk in her lips and removes the flesh of Dirk, leaving Dirk reduced to a skeleton. |

One of Clive Cussler's novels, Serpent, subverts the use of bones/their apparent indestructibility to add a creepiness to the scenery with Dirk Pitt remarking that "Despite the human tendency to want to picture the pilot strapped to their seats, nothing but their clothes and bone, that really by (roughly 50 years) time, the fish made sure there is nothing left". | |

Unreal Tournament 2004 sported the Link Gun, a plasma rifle that has a long stream of plasma for an alternative fire. Death by this plasma stream resulted in its victim being reduced to a skeleton. Another skeletonizing weapon in the same game was the Ion Cannon, an orbital Satellite that fired a gigantic purple beam of death, unsurprisingly, reducing victims of it to skeletons, the downside of it was that it had to be "painted" onto an enemy with the Ion Painter, which took quite a lot of time to do so. Additionally, certain hazards in maps (such as lava and acid) can and will skeletonize you if you accidentally take a dip. |
