The greatest challenge a Necromancer can take on is to bring an entire species back from extinction. There's something spooky and intimidating about the remains prehistoric animals have left behind. Some writers, noting this, have decided to combine Dem Bones with Prehistoric Monster, adding a dash of Rock Monster or Taken for Granite for spice. Because when fossils are undead... well, it's not hard to grab the audience's attention. This can be done in a number of ways. Maybe somebody triggered a curse that caused the old bones to start moving again. Or maybe, in an Urban Fantasy setting, a necromancer might pay a visit to the local natural history museum and start animating the exhibits (even though it's usually plaster and wire replicas, rather than the actual fossils themselves, that are on display). After all, isn't bringing a long-dead species back to life basically necromancy on a species-wide scale? Yet another way is for them to be possessed by some entity. And then there are cases where the animal just has Unfinished Business of some kind. Whatever the case, undead fossils are generally more threatening than typical animate skeletons. Whether it's due to what they were in life, the fact that they're made of stone, or both, they're nearly always very dangerous. Expect writers to ignore the fact that fossils are generally rocks in the shape of bones, rather than the bones themselves. Subtrope of Raising the Steaks. May overlap with dracolich in settings where Dinosaurs Are Dragons. For prehistoric animals being outright raised from the dead through scientific or magical means, see Fossil Revival, which this trope may overlap with in some cases. May also turn up in a Medieval Prehistory setting, since that's the natural environment for combining extinct life with fantasy tropes like necromancy. |

Digimon has SkullGreymon, a dark digievolution of Agumon (also based on Ceratosaurus as its other digivolution) made emphasis on fighting to the point of becoming a Digimon with nothing but exposed bones. First appeared in the Digital Monster Ver. 2 and later (and most known) in Digimon Adventure as a dark version of Taichi's Agumon who almost lost control and destroy everything, as well appearing in the anime sequel and other Digimon media, always as a menace to the DigiWorld. | |

Into the Jaws of Doom features a variation on this trope. Toward the end of the book, the evil supercomputer that's taken over the museum attacks you using a Giganotosaurus skeleton. It's described as an "animatronic skeleton," though, so it's not clear if it's an actual fossil or simply a reproduction of one made with mechanical parts (which would explain why the computer is able to control it) . In either case, though, it's still a dinosaur skeleton trying to kill you, and enough of a threat to be featured on the cover of the book. | |

The Dresden Files: Because of the way magic works in this universe, a zombie's strength and power are directly proportional to how long its body has been dead — a fresh corpse will make for a very weak zombie, while one left to moulder for centuries will make a much stronger one.note Although most necromancers use corpses under about 200 years old; it takes a bit more effort to make a zombie the older the remains. Further, while the White Council has very strict magical laws that among other things prohibit necromancy on pain of death, most forms of magic banned on humans are considered technically acceptable, if distasteful and concerning, when performed on other creatures such as animals. In Dead Beat, when a cabal of necromancers threatens Chicago, this leads Harry to reanimate Sue, one of the largest and most complete Tyrannosaurus rex skeletons and the star attraction of the Field Museum, to ride to battle against the evil wizards' zombie hordes. | |

World of Warcraft: Rezan, the Zandalari Loa of Kings, takes the form of a giant Devilsaur (basically a T. rex). During the events of the Zuldazar questline, he ends up slain by the prophet Zul and reanimated into an undead monstrosity along with some of his smaller spawn. An Alliance invasion quest in the same zone also involves the Void Elves reanimating an unnamed Devilsaur; this one comes back not just as a zombie, but a void-powered zombie with tentacle appendages and dark magic. Undead raptors can also be found throughout the game, though unlike the devilsaurs, they are merely animated skeletons, not zombies. Players can obtain them as mounts and companion pets with the archaeology profession. |

In adventure I12 Egg of the Phoenix, as the Player Characters are transporting the Egg to Doc's Island via ship, they are attacked by an undead plesiosaurus skeleton sent by the evil water elemental lord Olhydra. If it can grab the Egg, it will sink to the bottom of the sea where Olhydra can recover it later. |

Oxventure: This is Hammerdahl's method for restoring extinct creatures in Extinction, courtesy of Bromine the necromancer. They are actually restored to full life, but there's lots of necromantic-adjacent behaviour involved, such as the resurrections being very creepy. There's also the drawbacks: all the resurrected creatures come back rabid, and have extremely short lifespans, which contribute to the feeling of this trope, and which the Oxventurers spend most of their time trying to resolve. | |

Ultra Series has multiple appearances from kaiju that are living dinosaur skeletons. Ultraman: Though not stated to be one directly, Seabozu nonetheless fits the part, as it is dinosaur-like and is a living skeleton, though it is harmless beyond accidentally destroying things in its attempts to return to the graveyard it was removed from accidentally. Return of Ultraman: Stegon is an undead dinosaur skeleton that is disturbed from its rest by mankind and rampages as a result. It is ultimately turned into a constellation to allow it to rest eternally. Ultraman Cosmos: Mudon, an Expy of Seabozu is a giant herbivorous dinosaur whose fossils come back to life and rampages around the site where it was found. It turns out to be seeking the bones of its child, who was separate from it. After being reunited with an illusion of said child its body dissolves into dust.

Spider-Man foe Stegron the Dinosaur Man's goal is to resurrect the dinosaurs. One of the weapons he has used to do this is a 'retro regeneration ray' that allowed him to animate fossilized dinosaurs. | |

Ultraman: Though not stated to be one directly, Seabozu nonetheless fits the part, as it is dinosaur-like and is a living skeleton, though it is harmless beyond accidentally destroying things in its attempts to return to the graveyard it was removed from accidentally. | |

Fossil Fighters: While the series generally revolves around normal dinosaurs, Fossil Fighters: Champions features undead dinosaur variants used by the villains. The BareBones Brigade uses skeletal "boneysaurs", while the actual Big Bad is a necromancer named Zongazonga who uses "zombiesaurs". | |

Deadlands: In this Weird West-themed RPG, one type of enemy players can encounter is a walkin' fossil, the animate fossilized skeleton of a prehistoric animal. This is a nod to the fact that America underwent an explosion of interest in paleontology during the second half of the 19th century. | |

Pokémon: The Series: A scrapped plot for the third movie involved a reanimated Tyrannosaurus rex fossil attacking amid general questions of what happened to real-world animals. In the fifth movie, the villains use the Soul Dew to revive fossils of an Aerodactyl and a Kabutops, and force them to attack Ash and his friends. The two undead fossil Pokémon are shown with blank yellow eyes, unlike living members of their species seen elsewhere in the anime. |

Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth - Hacker's Memory: Discussed and invoked You can accept a quest from a museum director who asks you to help deal with some monsters that have taken up residence in the building. Once you get there and explore, you find that these monsters are prehistoric-looking Digimon who specifically chose to settle in the museum because they look like they'd fit right in, and naturally one of them is the skeletal dinosaur Digimon SkullGreymon. | |

The New Adventures of Superman: The Warlock uses magic to bring a dinosaur skeleton to life to attack Jimmy Olsen in "Return of Warlock." Unusually, it appears to be an apatosaurus rather than a T-Rex or something similarly intimidating. | |
