== Live Action Television Showsssss ==
* The reptilian Ice Warriors in ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'', but only in earth atmospheres, they don't hiss in their own.
* Mesogog in ''[[Power Rangers Dino Thunder]]''. He manages to do it with ''non-''sibilants, actually, making his speech a lot breathier than non-reptile characters. Many other snake or lizard based [[Monster of the Week]] characters do this as well, to varying degrees.
* Notably subverted by the Gorn in ''[[Star Trek the Original Series (TV)|Star Trek the Original Series]]'' and ''[[Star Trek Enterprise (TV)|Star Trek Enterprise]]'' where the reptilian species had a notably deep and gravely voice, but whose speech patterns did not have an emphasized sibilance, although their breathing was somewhat sibilant.
Line 138:
* Sssssam the snake in ''[[Rayman 2 (Video Game)|Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]''.
* Komodo Joe in ''[[Crash Team Racing (Video Game)|Crash Team Racing]]''
* The Argonians from the ''[[The Elder Scrolls (Video Game)|Elder Scrolls]]'' universe use this trope, although it's less noticeable with the females. One of the [[In -Game Novel|stories]] in ''TESII: Daggerfall'', [http://www.imperial-library.info/dfbooks/b100_complete_edward.shtml King Edward], even describes the Argonian healer of the story as "a strange looking lizardlike man, who spoke with such a hissing accent that Edward couldn't understand him at all" ("I cannn fixxxx thissss, it'ssss cleeean"). A later installment in the series, [[The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion]], is a little bit lighter with this trope, retaining the raspy, "lizardlike" drawl, but dialing down on the hissing. As of ''[[The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim (Video Game)|The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim]]'' none of the Argonians have this.
* Some of the ''[[Ever Quest (Video Game)|Ever Quest]]'' Iksar and lizardmen have a few extra S's. Some however don't. It's even more common in ''[[Ever Quest II (Video Game)|Ever Quest II]]''.
* ''Spiderweb Software'' likes this one. In ''[[Exile]]'' and its [[Video Game Remake|remake]] ''[[Avernum]]'', [[Lizard Folk|sliths]] talk like this. So do the [[Our Dragons Are Different|drayks (and drakons)]] in ''[[Geneforge]]''. However, the sliths and drayks that spend most of their time dealing with people lose the speech pattern.
Line 199:
** And it's apparently ''programmed in''; when he switches bodies with Mega Man, he never drags out his S's, whilst Mega Man does.
* Cedric from ''[[WITCH (Animation)|WITCH]]'' is a mild example. He doesn't elongate his "s's" as much as many examples of this trope, but they're still more exaggerated than a normal person's, even when he's in human form.
* The tree cobra that bites Virjay in ''[[Sealab 2021]]'' announces, "I wasss onssse a maaan", presumably as a [[Shout -Out]] to the ''[[G.I. Joe]]'' line quoted above..
* Adder and Sinuous from ''[[The Animals of Farthing Wood (Animation)|The Animals of Farthing Wood]]''.
* Mr. Burns from ''[[The Simpsons (Animation)|The Simpsons]]''. "Exxxxxxxxxxxxcellent..."
