Line 56:

** Also the creepy mutant hibernating liver-eating serial killer from episodes "Squeeze" and "Tooms."

* William Raines in ''[[The Pretender]].''

* The Ice Warriors on ''[[~~Doctor Who (TV)|~~Doctor Who]]'' do this as well.

* The Ice Warriors on ''[[Doctor Who]]'' do this as well.

** So does the Astronaut in "The Impossible Astronaut."

** {{spoiler|And older Amy in "The Girl Who Waited".}}

* Raistlin from the ''[[Dragonlance]]'' stories.

* Techpriests in ''[[Warhammer 40000]]'' often have their lower face and lungs replaced by cybernetics. Because of the [[Schizo Tech|strongly varying tech-levels]] of the setting, this can work perfectly well and even surpass the original organs - or result in Vader Breath, which in the roleplaying games makes strenuous physical activity harder (the lungs are less efficient at oxygenising the blood) and applies a penalty to Sneaking rolls.

** Cue inevitable [[Shout Out|Shout Outs]]--for example, a Techpriest model for ''Inquisitor'' reminding the creator of "He's more machine now than man."

Line 105:

* The G-Man, particularly in ''[[Half-Life]] 2''. * gasp* The right man in the wrong place...

* For some strange reason, the magical lampposts and lanterns in the Night Elf regions of ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' make this noise whenever you stand near them, leading many confused newbies to ask in the in-game chat rooms, "All right, who keeps doing the Darth Vader impression?"

* The Pyromaniacs from ''[[Sacrifice]]''. Their unit quotes are also filled to the brim with Darth Vader and Lord Helmet [[Shout Out|Shout Outs]].

* The zombies in ''[[Thief]]'' have a bad, bad case of bronchitis.

* The ending seasons of the ''[[Megaman Battle Network|Mega Man Battle Network/Rockman.EXE]]'' featured Zero.EXE. It helps that he's not only based on a hero, but is seen working for the [[The Dark Side|side of evil]] at first and has a [[Laser Blade|lightsaber]] for an arm when he fights?

Line 111:

* [[Battle Realms|Battle Realms']] Lotus Clan has a unit called the Diseased One, which attacks by coughing toxic spores onto enemies.

* Non-evil example: the volus in ''[[Mass Effect]]''. The drastic differences in pressure and gravity require them to wear special environment suits on other planets (or at least all the ones Shepard has seen them on).

* [[Knights of the Old Republic]] 2 has a section where you character must don a spacesuit to travel across the outside of a space station. Seeing as it's a [[Star Wars]] game and as such, you can't go ten minutes without a [[Shout Out]], the spacesuit has breating very similar to Vader's.

* In ''[[Metro 2033]]'', you breathe very loudly when you put your [[Gas Mask Mooks|gas mask]] on, and when your filter starts to fail, you start wheezing (while looking at your lens fog up).

* Q from ''[[Street Fighter]] III''. Idling makes him do Vader Breath, and the rest of his voicework is [[Voice Grunting]].

Line 142:

* Bears. One of the many recognizable things about them is their heavy breathing.

* Breathing while wearing a gas mask or a respirator can give out this sound as well.

* Since Darth Vader doesn't seem to be carrying an oxygen tank around with him, he is assumedly using a [[Real Life]] device known as an [~~http://en.~~wikipedia~~.org/wiki/Oxygen_concentrator~~ oxygen concentrator]. As the name implies, these work by pulling concentrated oxygen out of the surrounding air, and it really does sound ''just like'' [[Vader Breath]].

* Heavy breathing while wearing a face mask for paintball or airsoft (such as after making a long run) can cause the person to hear their own breath in this way.
