History Main / Phlegmings

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E13DoPrincessesDreamOfMagicSheep Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?]]", Monster Angel Bunny has a thick string of drool connecting its upper and lower jaws when he roars.

* In ''Manga/{{Saiyuki}}'', whenever Son Goku takes off his tiara-limiter and goes AxCrazy, he has this problem.
* In ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'', Gaara uses a combination of [[SlasherSmile psycho smile]] and, when he ''really'' loses it, [[https://pm1.narvii.com/7022/f5b9d311383fb5ab8cfec8a253cfd4487f1952d4r1-554-448v2_hq.jpg this.]][[/folder]]

[[folder:Music]]
* Standard fare for [[{{Mascot}} The Guy]] of Music/{{Disturbed}}.[[/folder]]

* Many images of Komodo dragons show Phlegmings, as they're quite prone to doing it in real life. And for extra creepy points, their saliva is essentially their venom![[/folder]]

[[folder:Pinball]]
* Featured on some of the aliens in Bally's ''Pinball/SpaceInvaders'' pinball game.
* The UsefulNotes/TyrannosaurusRex in ''Pinball/PoliceForce'' has these in its teeth.[[/folder]]

[[folder:VideoGames]]
* [[spoiler:Hades]] from ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising''.
* The Werehog from ''VideoGame/SonicUnleashed'' has this in the opening cinematic.
* This is one of the standard effects of MindControl in ''[[{{Creator/Nitrome}} Parasite]]''. For added force, the drool has a SicklyGreenGlow.
* The Hell Knights from ''VideoGame/Doom3'' have this when they roar.
* In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'', this appears the first time Zant speaks, but not after.
* ''Something'' half-glimsped in the Prothean Cipher of ''VideoGame/MassEffect'' does this, contributing to the general message of species-wide trauma and unimaginable suffering.

[[folder:WebComics]]
* R. L. from ''Webcomic/KevinAndKell''. His drooling jaws are almost all we ever see of him.
* The bloodgrem from ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' displays this [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2008-06-02 here.]][[/folder]]

* Mumm-Ra of ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats'' is a repeat offender.
* [[WesternAnimation/{{Freakazoid}} Foamy the Freakadog]] for the rabies version.
* The Dragon-Pig from ''WesternAnimation/{{Wakfu}}''
* Every character from ''WesternAnimation/MegaBabies''
* ''WesternAnimation/ProjectGeeker'': [[spoiler: Noah]] develops this after being hit with a tracking device and turning feral as a side effect. Geeker and all the other G.K.R. projects also exhibit constant drooling, minus the dripping fangs.

* In a ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'' episode where Quack Quack is deprived of yogurt, a GRatedDrug, he undergoes weird symptoms and goes into a zombie-like state with drool between his teeth ([[SuddenAnatomy the teeth are a side effect of the withdrawal]]).
* ''WesternAnimation/MegaBabies'' uses this to a ''ridiculous'' degree.

* ''Series/RedDwarf''. In "[[Recap/RedDwarfSeasonVIPsirens Psirens]]", the eponymous MonsterOfTheWeek is an EnthrallingSiren that appears to Lister as a LustObject. As Lister snogs the girl of his adolescent fantasies, the audience is given a FanDisservice view of what's ''really'' happening -- Lister smooching a bug-like alien and getting slime all over his face (according to WordOfGod they used [[OffTheShelfFX agricultural jelly for inseminating cows]]).

* The TyrannosaurusRex in ''Pinball/PoliceForce'' has these in its teeth.[[/folder]]

%%* Jay from ''Film/HomeSweetHome''.

* The Hell Knights from ''[[VideoGame/{{Doom}} Doom 3]]'' have this when they roar.

* [[Series/GameOfThrones Khal Drogo]]'s RousingSpeech where he declares he will [[spoiler:invade the Seven Kingdoms in retaliation for Daenarys' near assassination]] is accompanied by a lot of spitting. Given that he is one of the most badass and barbaric characters in the series, it seems totally in-character for him. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyqKWROjrq4 Watch it here.]]

* Pretty much every character from ''WesternAnimation/MegaBabies''

In comic books and animated works, one way to demonstrate that a character is a no-nonsense badass or [[DefangedHorrors creepy]] is to show them with strands of saliva, phlegm, drool, or some other mucus dangling between their teeth. Popularized by the various Creator/RobLiefeld [[FollowTheLeader clones]] during UsefulNotes/TheDarkAgeOfComicBooks, but examples predate that period.

* ''Something'' half-glimsped in the Prothean Cipher of MassEffect does this, contributing to the general message of species-wide trauma and unimaginable suffering.

* In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'', this appears the first time Zant speaks, but not after.[[/folder]]

* Used frequently for the overmuscled villains during Mike Deodato's time as an artist on ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987'' to show that they'd just opened their mouths, especially during ComicBook/{{Artemis}}'s stint as Wonder Woman.[[/folder]]

[[folder:Film]]

* In the first ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'' movie, the title character lets out a blood-curdling roar that shows off just how good the computers were at rendering flying spittle. Several members of the angry mob have [[{{Squick}} slimy faces]] in the next shot.
* Creator/StanleyKubrick ''loved'' this trope.

* The hyenas in ''Disney/TheLionKing'' likewise, as they were always depicted as ravenously hungry.

* Creator/RobLiefeld came up with ''blood'' phlegmings [[http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/1185176/warchild4_medium.jpg once,]] because... well, Rob Liefeld.[[/folder]]

* ''Film/Venom2018'': True to the [[ComicBook/{{Venom}} comics]], the title character often gets these in his [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily fang-filled mouth]] when the {{Symbiot|icPossession}}e takes over Eddie's body. Particularly noticeable when Eddie transforms into Venom for the first time and [[LecherousLicking licks a Mook's face]] while musing about which bits of him to eat first.

* In ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' Gaara uses a combination of [[SlasherSmile psycho smile]] and, when he ''really'' loses it, [[https://pm1.narvii.com/7022/f5b9d311383fb5ab8cfec8a253cfd4487f1952d4r1-554-448v2_hq.jpg this.]][[/folder]]

* In ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' Gaara uses a combination of [[SlasherSmile psycho smile]] and, when he ''really'' loses it, [[http://www.naruto-kun.com/naruto-episode-75/img_17/ this.]][[/folder]]

* Nitro from the film ''Mean Machine'' is constantly drooling and spitting to bolster up his loony appearance.[[/folder]]

* The Penguin from the DarkerAndEdgier Creator/TimBurton sequel to ''Film/{{Batman}}'', ''Film/BatmanReturns'', has a perpetual trickle of an oil-like bile running down his chin.

* ''WesternAnimation/ProjectGeeker'': [[spoiler: Noah]] develops this after being hit with a tracking device and turning feral as a side effect. Geeker and all the other GKRs also exhibit constant drooling, minus the dripping fangs.

A common trope for characters with MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily. Contrast with {{Gonk}}, the blatant uglification of a character.

* ''Series/RedDwarf''. In "Psirens", the eponymous MonsterOfTheWeek is an EnthrallingSiren that appears to Lister as a LustObject. As Lister snogs the girl of his adolescent fantasies, the audience is given a FanDisservice view of what's ''really'' happening -- Lister sucking face with a bug-like alien and getting slime all over his face (according to WordOfGod they used [[OffTheShelfFX agricultural jelly for inseminating cows]]).

* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''. A giant spider demon drools over Buffy in "Selfless". I mean, [[MsFanservice who wouldn't]]?[[/folder]]

* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''. A giant spider demon drools over Buffy in "Helpless". I mean, who wouldn't?[[/folder]]

Cookie for you if you thought this was a trope about [[BlobMonster snot-based videogame enemies]].

* [[Series/GameOfThrones Khal Drogo]]'s RousingSpeech where he declares he will [[spoiler: invade the Seven Kingdoms in retaliation for Daenarys' near assassination]] is accompanied by a lot of spitting. Given that he is one of the most badass and barbaric characters in the series, it seems totally in-character for him. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyqKWROjrq4 Watch it here.]]

* [[spoiler: Hades]] from ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising''.

* SpiderMan's collection of symbiote villains (Comicbook/{{Venom}}, Carnage, et al.) have this in spades.
* Modern artists draw TheIncredibleHulk with this.

* The Brood from the ''Comicbook/XMen'' comics. Not surprising, since they were {{expy}}s for the ''Franchise/{{Alien}}'' xenomorphs.

* In ''Manga/{{Saiyuki}}'', whenever Son Goku took off his tiara-limiter and went AxCrazy, he had this problem.
