* The reptilian Ice Warriors in ''[[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|Star Trek the Original Series]]'' and ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise|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.

* In the ''[[Farscape]]'' two-part episode "Self-Inflicted Wounds," the villain, Pathfinder Neeyala speaks like this- despite being more [[Fish People|piscine]] than reptilian.

* The Argonians from the ''[[The Elder Scrolls|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]]'' none of the Argonians have this.

* ''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.

* Snake of the Gangrene Gang in ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]''. He even at one point goes out of his way to say "yess" instead of "no", the correct answer to the question being asked. When Ace [[Dope Slap|slapped him]] he wised up and said "I means no."
