Line 44:
* Pictured above, Many characters from [[Requiem from the Darkness]]
* [[Ranma ½]]'s Ryoga while in his cursed P-Chan form (a little black pig) his mouth isn't visible, except when he bites, eats, yawns, and sometimes when he screams.
* [https://yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Elemental_HERO_Neos Elemental Hero Neos] in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]''; ironically, he tends to talk ''far'' more than the other E-Hero Duel Spirit on the show.
* In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal]]'', the [[Quirky Miniboss Squad| Seven Barian Emperors]], in their true forms.
* In ''[[Komi Can't Communicate]]'', Komi is sometimes drawn without a mouth, as [[Cute Mute|she almost never talks.]] Often this is done when her eyes are what she uses to convey her feelings, like when she is happy, excited, or surprised.
* Many ''[[Pokémon]]'' have no mouths, such as Magneton and Voltorb; how these Pokémon manage to eat when their trainers feed them berries or PokéBlocks is a mystery. With some Pokémon, it is [[Depending on the Artist]]. For example, Gardevoir does not seem to have a mouth in [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:0282Gardevoir.png this still illustration], but does have a mouth [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Kimia_Gardevoir.png in this scene from the anime.]
* The Radish Spirit from ''[[Spirited Away]]''; a [[Plant Person| man-sized radish]] with arms, legs, and eyes, but no mouth. This makes him an excellent [[The Silent Bob|Silent Bob]].

Line 96 ⟶ 101:
* R.J. in ''[[Over the Hedge (comic strip)|Over the Hedge]]'', aside from a few shouting occasions in the comic's first year.
* [[Agnes]] and her aunt. Other characters' mouths are just barely visible.
* In the earliest ''[[Garfield]]'' strips, the protagonist's teddy bear, Pooky, had a mouth, but eventually, he was depicted without one due to [[Art Evolution]]. Since then, [https://nemcy.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/witty-garfield-makes-pooky-happy.gif two] [https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/1985/06/13?ct=v&cti=1502255 jokes] have depended on Pooky's lack of a mouth.

Line 102 ⟶ 107:
** Illithids are actually said to have lamprey-like mouths ([http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d0/Boca_de_lamprea.1_-_Aquarium_Finisterrae.JPG like this]). Which are nonetheless hidden by the four tentacles on their octopus-like head.
** This troper always assumed they had a cephalopod-style beak ([https://web.archive.org/web/20140915130034/http://www.coralreefphotos.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Caribbean-Squid-Beak-457x303.jpg example from a squid]) which would be hidden in a 'mouth', in turn hidden by the tentacles. That lamprey mouth picture is much more appropriate as [[Nightmare Fuel]] though.
** Elsewhere in ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'', Yurtrus, [[The Grim Reaper|the orcish god of death and disease]], has no mouth and never communicates. Not even with other gods.

Line 128 ⟶ 133:
* Due to graphical limitations, [[the Goomba]]s from the original ''[[Super Mario Bros. (video game)|Super Mario Bros]]'' are literally drawn without mouths, despite the fact that in the game's official artwork (and in all their game sprites from ''[[Super Mario Bros 3]]'' onwards), they are all drawn with frowns on their faces.
** Lumas also lack mouths as well, with the only exceptions being the Hungry Luma, Lumalee Lumabop, and Lubba.
* There are several [[Pokémon]] that lack a mouth or seem to lack one: Hitmonlee, Dratini, Dragonair, Beldum, Unown, Sigilyph, and Deoxys (who lacks facial features in general except for eyes). Other Pokemon like Gardevoir appear to have no mouths in the oldest illustrations, but [[Art Evolution]] later changes this.
* Ashtar in ''[[Ninja Gaiden]] 2'' (NES).

Line 149 ⟶ 153:
** The number of times WV's mouth has been seen can be counted on one hand. Likewise, the rest of the Exiles.
** [[Andrew Hussie]] is also drawn without a mouth save for a brief sequence where he's eating, which is strange given how well-known he is for his [[Gag Lips]].
* For the longest, the titular character of [https://web.archive.org/web/20130719183412/http://www.drunkduck.com/Jix/ Jix] was depicted without a mouth, even though she had one. This was because her long snout kind of obscured it. The comic often joked about her lack of mouth. Later she was given a mouth to help convey her emotions better.
** Her androids, Dyonus and Dyona, do not have mouths at all. Mostly because the speech comes from speakers built into their heads and because they do not consume.
** Other of her species (Ambis) were drawn without mouths, except for her brother Romulos, but when she got a mouth, so did everyone else.
Line 175 ⟶ 179:
* In ''[[Sam and Max Freelance Police]]'' Max's mouth will disappear when he doesn't talk or thinking.
* ''[[Ed Edd and Eddy]]'': During Ed's nightmare in ''Rock A Bye Ed'', his mouth is removed when he yells too much.
* Fans of ''[[The Owl House]]'' debated for a while whether or not [https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Kikimora Kikimora] fit this trope or not. In season 4, this was debunked, as her mouth is simply covered by the collar on her uniform.
