** Most of the Dibbuns (babies) would also be this way if their caretakers let them, going to impressive lengths to avoid bathing.
* Gunner Jurgen from the ''[[Ciaphas Cain]]'' novels fits this to a tee. He is exempt from normal Imperial Guard peacetime cleanliness regulations due to a variety of skin conditions. Other than Cain himself, nobody wants to be around him. {{spoiler|Of course that has more to do with Jurgen being a soulless [[Anti
* Kheperu from ''Iron Dawn'' is grimy, greasy, and reeks so much he can disperse crowds just by taking a stroll in the marketplace. Sort of justified, as some of the stench comes from the alchemical mixtures he carries, and the rest from his being the sort of dickhead who ''enjoys'' being as appalling as possible.
* ''[[Dead Souls]]'': One of Chichikov's servants who never washes himself.

* Lyle from ''[[Achewood]]''.

* Pauline from ''[[Our Little Adventure]]'' apparently 'smells like a really good salad bar.'
* Sylvester from ''[http://www.agameoffools.com A Game of Fools]''.
Line 146:
* [[Giant Mook]] Greasepit from ''[[Biker Mice From Mars]]'' has some kind of mutation where he literally sweats motor oil & grease from his pores constantly. He makes a major mess wherever he goes, and often ends up tripping or causing others to trip because of the slime he drips all over the place.
* ''[[Edgar and Ellen (Literature)|Edgar and Ellen]]''. One time in the animated series, Ellen got sprayed with an anti-bug formula, which made a bunch of bugs come jumping out of her hair.
* In the ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]" episode "Hearts and Hooves Day", the song "The Perfect Stallion" briefly featured a filthy, smelly, fly-drawing stallion, whose cutie mark was a TRASH CAN.

* In early Middle Ages, the people surprisingly ''weren't'' this at least to the extent seen today, as public baths were an important social function to all classes of the society. After a while the church found out that prostitution was practiced in them, and some doctors connected (partially correctly) some of the epidemics to communal bathing. As result, washing yourself came considered to be both immoral and unhealthy well into the 18th, or even 19th century.
** Regular bathing was also seen as the preserve of Moors, Turks and Jews and not something a proper Christian should really be doing, especially in those areas of Europe which had direct contact with Islam. In Aragon and Castile, bathing was one of the excuses by which a person in high society could be brought before the Inquisition... [[Poke the Poodle|and likely be forced into re-education.]] So if you were on the wrong side of the Monarchy, you might well find yourself [[
* Fun fact: Louis XIV only bathed twice in his entire life. ''Twice''. And he hated both of them. [[Horrible Histories|The story goes]] that he once had his socks removed and he was so moldy that one of his toes dropped off.
* Crust punks. They justify their refusal to bathe for a number of reasons, the government controls the water supply, hair products tested on animals, being downright broke.
