== Media in General ==
* [[Our Dwarves Are All the Same|Dwarves]], usually. In some sources, even females have them.
* Some Half-Elves, who are like Elves. . . with a beard!
* Every [[Horny Vikings|Viking]] ever ([[How to Train Your Dragon (animation)|Hiccup]] gets a pass, though).
* [[Pirates]] often have them in fiction, much like a lot of real ones.
==
* Used in a sidebar advertisement for a "Free Online MMO Trading Card Game" called ''[[Urban Rivals]]'' that
* This is exaggerated with the Vikings in the Capitol One commercials - even one of their ten-year-old sons has a full beard.
== Anime and Manga ==
Line 58:
** Fellow [[The Avengers (Comic Book)|Avenger]] [[The Incredible Hercules|Hercules]] normally has a beard as well, and of course [[Boisterous Bruiser|he never passes up a fight]]. The one notable time Herc ''didn't'' have a beard came during [[The Nineties]], when he decided [[Dork Age|he'd rather look more like]] [[Hercules: The Legendary Journeys|Kevin Sorbo]].
* Lucas Orion of the ''[[Atari Force]]'' first series, though his character was mostly a pacifist that won't fight.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20131016105542/http://www.asterion.se/haddock.jpeg Captain Haddock] in ''[[The Adventures of Tintin]]''. Because: Hey, what is a sailorman without his badass beard?
** His beard is pretty impressive in [[Tintin (film)|the recent motion-captured film, as well]]. [http://www.screened.com/captain-haddock/15-15371/all-images/132-2513116/the_adventures_of_tintin_movie_image_9/131-585799/ Behold!]{{Dead link}} Both him and the [[Beard of Evil|antagonist]] sport beards- between this and [[The Lord of the Rings]], you get the impression [[Peter Jackson]] has a thing for them.
* Destruction from ''[[The Sandman]]''; his usual form is a tall, rugged, muscular man with a full but neatly trimmed beard.
== Fan Works ==
Line 172:
* [[Stone Cold Steve Austin]].
* Bill [[Goldberg]].
* Travis "Tyson" Tomko, whose beard, tattoos, bald head, and black ring attire make him look like a total badass. [
* [[The Undertaker]]
* [[Randy Savage]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20131111131112/http://sabotagetimes.com/wp-content/uploads/img_151291_1.jpeg Oooooh] [http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSwWUt3PMqKVFIgg5jLegXCsKia6JaAisvWoDGyL6fHqFc9Lb3c yeah]!
Line 194:
** It is always emphasized how fond dwarves are of beards. In some editions, but not all of them, even female dwarves have them.
** Elminister of Shadowdale has a pretty decent-sized beard, and he's the biggest badass in the ''[[Forgotten Realms]]'' setting, arguably the biggest in ''any'' setting of the game.
** [[Greyhawk

* [[Player Character|Gordon]] [[Badass Bookworm|Freeman]] from the ''[[Half-Life]]'' series.
* The Vanguard bloodline and Engineer within ''[[Bloodline Champions]]''. The officer outfit for the Igniter has this as well.
Line 242:
* The Point Man of [[First Encounter Assault Recon|FEAR]], formerly [[The Faceless]], has one in the third game.
* The Monk of ''[[Diablo|Diablo III]]'' counterpoints his [[Bald of Awesome]] with his mighty beard.
*
** Gouken
** And Gen. ''Definitely'' Gen.
** Zangief also has a Badass Beard.
** Dhalsim has one in ''V''. Also in that game, G, the [[Final Boss]].
* Isaac in ''[[Golden Sun: Dark Dawn]]'' sports one 30 years later after saving the world in the previous game. A NPC comments that [[Hot Dad|Isaac is quite the looker for his age]] and many women are attracted to him. He's only 47! [http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101018184943/goldensun/images/f/fe/DDIsaac.png see for yourself.]
** [[Older Than They Look|Forty-seven apparently going on twenty-seven]], [[A Wizard Did It|due to Alchemy]].
Line 299 ⟶ 301:
* The ''[[Teen Titans]]'' episode "Betrothed" introduces Galfore, Starfire's ''k'norfka'' (guardian), a serious badass with a very impressive beard.
* This is subverted in the ''[[Woody Woodpecker]]'' episode "Feudin', Fightin', and Fussin'" where Woody's [[Foil]] is a mountain man with a long beard that reaches down to his toes. Through most of the short, Woody uses the poor guy's beard to trip him up and play numerous other jokes. Eventually, he decides his "dang whiskers always gettin' me in trouble" and decides to shave them off.
* In ''[[The Smurfs]]'', one thing that makes Papa Smurf stand out among the other Smurfs (the other being his red hat) is his full beard; [[Flashback]]s show he had it as a young Smurf, but it wasn't grey then. Grandpa Smurf has an even longer one.
** In one episode, Gargamel tries to use magic to grow one so he'd be more respected as a wizard, but he fails to read the directions and ends up with a beard that fills his entire house and makes him unable to move from its weight. As usual, the Smurfs have to intervene so he doesn't end up starving as a result.

Line 354 ⟶ 358:
* [[wikipedia:Robert Bakker|Dr. Robert T.Bakker]] - The [[Deadpan Snarker]] of paleontologists with the face of Santa Claus. His research propelled the theory of dinosaurs as warm-blooded animals into mainstream paleontology.
* [http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/images/201101/arush_superbowlpressconf_00.3_500.jpg Brett Keisel] of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
* Egyptian Pharaohs, [https://web.archive.org/web/20131010132850/http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/47/Tuthankhamun_Egyptian_Museum.jpg full stop].
** A subversion: for a long time the fashion was to be clean-shaven, and then wear a '''fake''' beard (one about as realistic as the one in the linked image).
* [[wikipedia:Bashir II|Bashir Shahib II]] "The Great", Emir of Lebanon. He ruled Lebanon in the name of the Ottoman Empire, and played a minor role in thwarting Napoleon's Egyptian Campaign. However, this will be forever overshadowed by his truly epic [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/11/BashirChehab.jpg beard/moustache] combo. So epic, that you'd be forgiven for believing that the lining of his robe is part of it.
