Line 54:
* B-3-K, of ''[[Yukari Is Free]].'' Portrayed in written form via different colors of text.
* In the [[My Little Pony]]: [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|Friendship Is Magic]] / [[Doctor Who]] Crossover [[Time Lords and Terror]], the G1 villain known as the Smooze is [[Darker and Grittier|reimagined]] as [[Adaptational Badass|The]] [[Eldritch Abomination|S’Müz]], a being so infused with unreality that its voice is described as
{{quote| ''a billion different voices in a billion different tones, a low flanging and echo present in it's ominous timbre.''}}
** This is represented via text with bold italicized block capital letters colored red.
* In ''[[Halo Combat Deformed]]'', the Master Chief speaks in a deep, satanic rumble whenever he gets very angry.
Line 100:
*** Which is represented as their dialogue being without speech marks. Unfortunately this was replaced with more generic italics in ''[[Discworld/Thief of Time|Thief of Time]]''.
** The voice of the [[Big Bad]] in ''The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents'', like the Auditors', goes directly into the mind without entering the ears:
{{quote| It was all hisses, and it slid into the mind like a knife. }}
*** Death's voice is often described as going to the brain while skipping the ears completely. The Auditors don't do even that. You just suddenly remember that something was said moments ago.
** In ''Sourcery'', the Archchancellor's Hat plays this trope straight, which is appropriate for something that derives its intelligence from its hundreds of previous wearers.
Line 170:
== Video Games ==
* In the new ''[[Prince of Persia]]'', the god of darkness has a two distinct voices (one male and one female) that alternate speaking and will sometimes overlap. Each individual voice also has a reverberating echo to it.
{{quote| Ahriman: ''All you have to to, is'' '''ask.''' THE ASKING IS YOURS.<br />
The Mourning King: You know that is that I ask!<br />
Ahriman: ''[[Deal with the Devil|If you would have your wish]]''...[[Deal with the Devil|THEN GIVE ME]] ''[[Deal with the Devil|MINE.]]'' }}
* Xel'lotath in ''[[Eternal Darkness]]'' has two voices with apparently different personalities. Its Greater Guardian has a standard Voice of the Legion.
Line 217:
** Probably justified in that it may use parts of all the transmissions it ever heard to synthesise it's own messages.
** That's true. To quote the Naggarok:
{{quote| For millions of years, we have been trapped in this ship, listening to the electromagnetic chatter of your tiny self/worlds. We know you better than you know yourselves.}}
** Ever heard the Naggarok's death scream? [[Voice of the Legion]] plus [[Big No]], drawn out for ''25 seconds''. Creepy as hell...
*** ... Which devolves into [[Narm]] when you notice the scream is going on long after the Naggarok has exploded.
Line 225:
** In one of the Story Mode [[Nightmare Fuel|Bad Endings]] The Black Beast speaks with the combined voices of {{spoiler|Ragna and v-13}}.
* [[Manipulative Bastard|The]] [[The Chessmaster|Gravemind]] from ''[[Halo]]''. Considering he speaks in <s>iambic heptameter</s> trochaic [[Arc Number|septameter]], it gets even more creepy.
{{quote| '''Gravemind:''' ''This one is machine and nerve,<br />
And has its mind concluded.<br />
This one is but flesh and faith<br />
And is the more deluded.'' }}
** Cortana also gets one in the similarly-named level of ''Halo 3'', when aforementioned [[Manipulative Bastard]] Gravemind seems to be attempting to ''[[Grand Theft Me|assimilating her]]'' It gets to the point where the annoying hologram of Cortana switches to the Gravemind's odd tunnel vision effect.
Line 253:
* A lot of the characters in ''[[World of Warcraft]]'', particularly those of undead, eldritch, demonic, or deity based origins. Examples include:
** Aeonus the dragon of the Infinite Dragonflight, who appears to speak with several voices at different time intervals, a result of him being "lost" in time.
{{quote| "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}JxeQkk1UcdY The time has come] to shatter this clockwork universe forever(orever(rever(ever)let us no longer be slaves(aves(aves)of the hourglass(ass(ass) but i warn you(ou(ou(ou),those who do not embrace this greater path(ath(ath) shall become victims of its passing(assing(assing(assing)..."}}
** Some of the dragons, especially the corrupted black dragon [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHnWLcQjOGA Deathwing].
** The H.P. Lovecraft inspired old gods [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLCE18C6fKQ C'thun] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_n1An8buCQ Yogg-Saron] (who can also impersonate other voices, such as the voice of his female mortal form, Sara).
Line 285:
** They also get [[Black Eyes of Evil]], even though they aren't. Evil, that is.
* In ''[[The Order of the Stick]]'', Xykon's creepy speech is represented with black [[Speech Bubbles]]. In his case, we actually have in-comic (well, in-prequel-book) confirmation that he speaks with the Voice of the Legion:
{{quote| '''Xykon:''' Hey, what's up with my voice?<br />
'''Redcloak:''' Well, you're undead now, you don't have a trachea or a larynx, much less lungs to expel air through them. So your voice is magically created by the negative energy that powers you now.<br />
'''Xykon:''' Sweet! I like the little bit of reverb on it. Really gives it that "evil mastermind" vibe. }}
** The demonic-based characters like Qarr the imp get this effect too, along with {{spoiler|V after he/she makes a [[Deal with the Devil]].}}
Line 338:
* Master Cyclonis of ''[[Storm Hawks]]'' occasionally had ''just enough'' of a creepy reverberation in her voice to drive the point home that there's something ''very'' wrong with her.
* Normally Princess Luna of ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' just has [[No Indoor Voice]] (she's running on extremely outdated etiquette where shouting at your subjects is proper), but when she gets angry she moves into this category.
{{quote| '''''"BE STILL!"'''''}}
** It doesn't help that said outdated etiquette causes her to use the [[Royal We]] when referring to herself.
** Pinkie, when she gets really, really, REALLY, mad.
{{quote| [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}kx2LjQYIS7A ''YOU PINKIE-PROMISED!"]}}
** Queen Chrysalis also has it, which adds to her already creepy appearance.
* In ''[[Young Justice (animation)|Young Justice]]'' we have a (mostly) heroic example. Dr. Fate (Nabu) speaks with his very deep voice overlying the voice of his host.
