Line 36:
* [[Twisted Toyfare Theatre]]'s version of Cobra Commander talks like this, as a [[Take That]] to the characters portrayal in the second half of ''[[G.I. Joe: The Movie]]'' (the '80s cartoon movie, natch).
* [[The DCU|DC Comics]] snake cult/terrorist organization Kobra requires this as a stage of initiation for all their convert.
* The lizards and reptiles in the ''[[Star Fox (series)|Star FoxFOX]]'' ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' comic book all speak like this.
* This style of speaking, as employed by Reptile in ''[[Mortal Kombat 4]]'', originated in the ''MKII'' comics.
 
Line 139:
* Komodo Joe in ''[[Crash Team Racing]]''
* 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.
* Some of the ''[[Ever QuestEverQuest]]'' Iksar and lizardmen have a few extra S's. Some however don't. It's even more common in ''[[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.
* ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'' with Reptile of course when the story got a little more vocal.
