''You will hear our mighty roar!''|'''[[Australian Rules Football|Brisbane Lions]]''' Club Song (to the tune of ''La Marseillaise'') }}

It's quite simple: Big monsters have big lungs, that let them make big noises. Sometimes [[Cute but Cacophonic|little monsters make big noises, too]], but that's neither here nor there. When a ''[[EverythingsEverything's Better Withwith Dinosaurs|T. rex]]'', [[Panthera Awesome|lion, tiger]], [[Our Dragons Are Different|dragon]] or [[Our Monsters Are Different|some other scary monster]] appears in a work that contains sound, it ''will'' make a mighty, [[Nightmare Fuel|terrifying]], [[Rule of Cool|awe-inspiring]] ROOOOAAAAAARRR!!!!

If the creature roars before attacking someone, it's [[Roar Before Beating]]. [[Make Me Wanna Shout]] also applies if the roar itself is an actual form of attack.

{{examples|Examples:}}

* ''[[Pokémon (Animeanime)|Pokémon]]'':

** Generally, if a Pokémon is not [[Pokémon -Speak|repeating it's name over and over again]], it has one of these.

*** Special mention to Palkia, Dialga, and Giratina for having kaiju roars out of the ''Godzilla'' movies!

== [[Film]] ==

* ''[[Godzilla]]'' has a unique roar [[Most Wonderful Sound|that all his fans recognize]]. And [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hI1K-KNcJlw not just him, either.]

** This particular roar has been used and parodied in other mediums, especially by Rex in ''[[Toy Story 3]]'' during their kid's imaginative adventures.

* ''[[King Kong]]'' isn't the quietest gorilla in the jungle, either, for that matter.

* Little baby Clover from ''[[Cloverfield]]'' may have the most impressive set of lungs out of all the monsters. In fact, one of the OST songs is explicitly called [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4p3rM9jOdE "Roar"].]

* In the movie ''[[Primeval]]'', [[Very Loosely Based Onon a True Story]] of a 20-ton giant man-eating crocodile in Africa, the giant reptile lets out a lion-like roar after devouring the [[Big Bad]].

* ''[[The Chronicles of Narnia]]'': [[Crystal Dragon Jesus|Lion Jesus]] Aslan has one of these.

== [[Live -Action TelevisionTV]] ==

* Several ''[[Power Rangers]]'' [[Animal Mecha|animal zords]] roar. First and foremost are the Wild Zords of ''[[Power Rangers Wild Force]]''; the main Megazord's regular [[Finishing Move]] is even the component zords roaring [[Frickin' Laser Beams]].

* In ''[[Star Fox Adventures (Video Game)|Star Fox Adventures]]'', the King Redeye puts his head into the room to roar before fully entering. On an earlier note, the Galdon does some roaring, as well.

* ''[[Pokémon]]'' has the move Roar, which makes the opponent Pokemon switch or flee the battle. Of course, it's learned by a lot of big Pokemon, but is specially notable onfor being used by the legendary beasts of [[Pokémon Gold and Silver (Video Game)|the second generation]], [[That One Boss|which use it to escape from you if you ever find them and block their exit]].

** Bizarrely,Most Pokémon are capable of learning the move via TM - evolutionary lines that learn it by level up include [[Kitsune|the Vulpix line,]], [[Heroic Dog|the Lillipup line, Growlithe line]], [[Bully Bulldog|the Snubbull line]], [[Hell Hound|HoundourtheHoundour line]] and Te''pig''the Tepig line. learnIt's thisespecially move.weird Apparentlywhen init thecomes Pokemonto worldTepig, dogssince andapparently pigs ''roar'' in the Pokémon universe.

* ''[[Okami (Video Game)|OkamiŌkami]]''{{'}}s very own [[Orochi]] has one, and it's the key to defeating him. When he roars, your pour Sake into his mouth when he roars to lower his barrier.

* From ''[[Sengoku Basara]]'', the Tiger's most powerful attack in an awesome howl that knocks you back several feet and makes the ground tremble.

* In ''[[Spore]]'', the special ability in the creature stage that is rewarded upon completing cell stage as a carnivore is [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Raging Roar]], which makes all nearby creatures run away in fear.

* While asuraAsura in ''[[AsurasAsura's Wrath]]'' usually does a lot of screaming, {{spoiler|Hishis transformation into Berserker asuraAsura destroys tons of ships just from it'sits shockwave. [[Up to Eleven|When they are above the earthsearth's Orbitorbit.]] It's his default scream in Berserker form as well.}}

* James P. Sullivan on ''[[Monsters, Inc.]].'' Comically averted by his [[Kaiju|very tall friend]] Ted, who clucks. (They wanted the Godzilla roar, but couldn't get clearance.)

** In the credits, there's a blooper reel, in which [[Toy Story (franchise)||Rex]] auditions. He ''does'' roar. In his own...''special'' way.

* ''[[Gargoyles]]'' let loose a [[Mighty Roar]] when they wake in the evening. They can also make some pretty bestial sounds depending on how ticked off they are.

* A [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] moment happens in the ''[[Tom and Jerry (Animation)|Tom and Jerry]]'' episode "The MilkMilky Waif", where Tom sets off Jerry's [[Berserk Button]] when witnessing himupon slapping baby orphan mouse Nibbles square in the backside with a flyswatter. In a rage, he lets out a ferocious roar before pummeling the cat into submission.

* The lion has the loudest roar of all the big cats; whichit can be heard up to 5five miles away. The other big cats aren't so bad either.
