It's also sometimes done in Japanese Anime, but this is reference to [[Youkai|Tengu]], who are said to have large noses.
{{examples
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Dog Master Galf in ''[[Fist of the North Star]]''.
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* [[Iznogoud]]. Just look at him.
* Rastapopoulos in ''[[Tintin
* Crimson from the Belgian comic series ''Suske en Wiske.''
* Why else [[Batman|Penguin]] would be called such, aside from his short stature?
== [[Film]] ==
* In ''[[The Wizard of Oz (
* The Child-Catcher of ''[[Chitty Chitty Bang Bang]]''.
* The title character from ''[[Ink]]''. Often, it's all you can see under his hood. His angst over his ugliness helps drive the plot. {{spoiler|Subverted by the end, when he pulls a [[Heel Face Turn]] and decimates the "pretty" Incubi.}}
* The [[Typecasting|many villains]] played by [[Basil Rathbone]].
** [[Alan Rickman]]'s nose is emphasized in his villainous or morally-ambiguous roles.
** And [[Geoffrey Rush]].
* Gru of ''[[Despicable Me]]''. A subversion, that while he ''is'' a [[Villain Protagonist|villain]], he's actually a [[Affably Evil|good]] [[Anti-Villain|person]].
* Watto in ''[[Star Wars]] Episode I: [[The Phantom Menace]]'' has a huge nose, which contributed to the case of critics who called him an [[Space Jews|antisemitic stereotype]].
* In ''[[Monty Python and
* The main villain in ''[[Apocalypto]]'' was given a larger, prosthetic nose, which Mel Gibson points out in the commentary.
== [[Literature]] ==
* ''[[Harry Potter]]''
** Toyed with in Severus Snape.
** Averted with Voldemort, who has two slits in the middle of his face, like snake nostrils.
* Hotzenplotz and Zwackelmann from ''Robber Hotzenplotz''.
* [[Sherlock Holmes]] is a hero, but his nose is frequently described by Watson as hawk-like: large, aquiline, and pointy. Combined with his gangly physique, Holmes strikes a severe but not dashing figure. Doyle was always annoyed that illustrations made Holmes too traditionally handsome and heroic looking.
== [[Live Action Television]] ==
* Fenella the kettle witch from ''[[Chorlton and The Wheelies]]''.
* This is taken [[Up To Eleven]] with [https://powerrangers.fandom.com/wiki/Nayzor#1 Nayzor], one of Master Org's commanders in ''[[Power Rangers Wild Force]]''. His ''entire face'' is a nose, with his eyes in the nostrils. [[Squick|Yuck.]]
== [[Music]] ==

* The picture shown for the Imp (a minor devil-like creature) in the Monster Manual for 1st Edition [[Dungeons
== [[Video Games]] ==
* ''[[Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney]]'': {{spoiler|[http://www.creativeuncut.com/gallery-05/art/praa3-luke-atmey.jpg Luke Atmey]}}.
* Ganondorf of ''Zelda'' could open a can of Coke with his sniffer. Interestingly, it goes from straight and needle-like to hooked and bent. Averted when he turns into his pig-form, where he gets a snout.
** Ganondorf gets his long nose from his race: the Gerudo, a race almost entirely made of women who work as thieves. It's subverted in their case because the Gerudo are actually quite nice to Link once he proves himself.
* ''[[
** While the Steamwheedle goblins are just shrewd businessmen, the Bilgewater goblins added in ''Cataclysm'' are more like gangsters. Their mob boss, Gallywix, even built himself a pleasure palace in the middle of Azshara with its own mountaintop golf course.
** In Uldaman, the main villain for most of the quests is a Goblin tresure hunter and his mercenary army that are working for [[Big Bad|Deathwing]]. He's named Schnoz.
* Tengu in ''[[Dead or Alive]] 2''. But he ''is'' a [[wikipedia:Tengu|Tengu]], so that is given.
* Toujin the assassin from ''[[Battle Arena Toshinden]] 3''.
* Heiss in ''[[
* Loghain of ''[[Dragon Age]]'', who looks rather like Alan Rickman in general.
* Patches of ''[[
