Line 5:
A character who speaks with a deep, throaty rasp. This style of speaking gives the character an ominous or solemn tone, so it's usually the domain of [[Anti-Hero|Anti Heroes]], protagonists of [[Darker and Edgier]] works, and [[Evil Sounds Deep|villains.]]
For music, see [[Harsh Vocals]] for the use of growled vocals and [[Basso Profundo]] for someone whose voice is simply extremely low. Compare [[Soprano and Gravel]] for a common vocal pairing involving this voice type. [[I Thought It Meant|Has nothing to do with
{{examples}}
== Anime and Manga ==
* Yukio Yamagata, who was therefore quite an appropriate choice for the wild-animal-themed ''[[Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger]]'' theme.
*
*
* Vegeta, in the English dub of ''[[Dragonball Z]]''.
** As well as fellow [[Heel Face Turn|heel turned villain]] Piccolo.
* Croquet in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]''.
* Lucy from ''[[Elfen Lied]]'' provides a female example of this trope.
== Comic Books ==
* Rorschach in ''[[Watchmen]]''. His speech bubbles are ragged and frayed. He also uses clipped syntax, and several characters note his eerie monotone voice.
* Rorschach from ''[[Watchmen (comics)|Watchmen]]'' in, well... ''[[Watchmen (film)|Watchmen]]''.
* The [[Dark Knight Trilogy]]'s [[Batman]] speaks this way, partially to conceal his identity. [[Christian Bale]] based his Batman voice off of the one from ''[[Batman: The Animated Series]]'', although that voice was nowhere near as extreme.
Line 36 ⟶ 34:
* The Humungous in ''[[The Road Warrior]]'': his voice sounds just as devastated as what little we can see of his face looks.
* Any character played by British actor James Mason.
== Literature ==
Line 44 ⟶ 41:
** It gets bonus points for having the only speaking role requiring the Legion's birth language and [[Black Speech]] for extra creepy and evil.
* Butler from [[Artemis Fowl]] is described as having a 'gravelly bass'.
== Live-Action TV ==
Line 62 ⟶ 58:
* William Adama from ''[[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]]''. This is how he got the callsign "Husker"
* ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]'': Various monsters had guttural growler voices, but the most notable character who talked like this would be [[The Dragon|Goldar]].
== New Media ==
Line 69 ⟶ 64:
* [[Olan Rogers]] uses this for many of his characters, most of which are parodies of [[Anti-Hero|Anti Heroes]]. Needless to say, he's a [[Large Ham]].
== Theatre ==
▲== Theater ==
* Trekkie Monster from ''[[Avenue Q]]''
== Video Games ==
Line 103 ⟶ 96:
* [[Blood Knight|Sergei "Eater" Brynner]] from ''[[Ace Combat Assault Horizon Legacy]]''. A few of his squadron members also qualify.
* [[Big Bad|Bowser]] from ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' onwards, but not in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. He regained this type of voice in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''.
== Western Animation ==
Line 120 ⟶ 112:
* Alfe in ''[[The Problem Solverz]]'', though he's anything but solemn.
* Wolverine in the ''[[X-Men (animation)|X-Men]]'' animated series.
== Real Life ==
