History Main / TheNoseless

* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'':

* ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'': Rorge has had his nose cut off as punishment for some unrevealed crime. Judging from his personality, he deserved it. [[spoiler:Tyrion Lannister]] suffers a greivous warwound that removes half of his nose. He wasn't pretty to begin with, either.

* April Stewart of ''WesternAnimation/TheFunkyPhantom'' it seems to lack a nose, the nostrils being only visible when the plane focuses on it from the front (most of the times). In the times that he focuses on her in profile, it is seen that she does indeed have a nose.

* Most of the Autobots in ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' have a ridge where we'd have a nose (although they still have "olfactory sensors" according to Prowl). ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' follows the look.

** The cube-headed Kubulus species lack noses, something Adu Du points out about himself when Probe tries to cover his "nose" when the room gets filled with sleeping gas. Computer states that their lack of noses is how the Kubulus still manage to live on Planet Ata Ta Tiga despite of all the toxic waste from industrialisation.
** The main villain of the 2nd movie, Retak'ka, has no nose.

* ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'': Many {{Artificial Intelligence}}s, especially those using older, less humanoid chasses, lack noses, but the more recent designs, that also have hair and wear clothes, usually have them. There is a trend among these more human-like robots to forgo the nose, however, such as [[https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4025 Beepatrice]], [[https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4029 this receptionist]], [[https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4030 this mechanic]], and [[https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4066 this scientist]].

* Creator/JocelynSamara's comics (''Webcomic/Rain2010'', ''Webcomic/MyImpossibleSoulmate'') have an art style where noses are only visibile when seen in profile.

* In a host segment in the ''[[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 MST3K]]'' showing of ''Film/ManosTheHandsOfFate'', Joel and the bots discuss what physical abnormalities would make for a scarier "monster" than Torgo and his big knees. Joel suggests no nose -- not even nostrils, just flat skin from eyes to mouth. Brrrr.

* The demon bikers in the ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' episode "Bargaining". On the commentary track, the writers speculate that their lack of noses is actually the reason they're so angry at the world.
-->I hold this flower up to my nose and ''nothing happens!''

* [[Art/TheSphinx The Great Sphinx of Giza]], due to MonumentalDamage sometime in the past few thousand years.

** In episode "Spanish Fry", Fry gets his nose stolen by an alien black market, which are propelled by the myth that "Human Horn" is a natural aphrodisiac for them. It turns out that [[spoiler:they mistook his nose for his ''penis'']].

* Gray from ''Bigfoot & Gray on the Run'', which is particularly contrasting to the other main characters' [[GagNose large, bulbous noses]]. Arguably [[JustifiedTrope justified]] in that he's an alien.

* Voldemort in the ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' films has his nose replaced with snakelike nostrils (thanks to computer graphics) because SnakesAreSinister.

* Princess Peach from the ''VideoGame/{{Mario}}'' franchise is drawn this way in the ''Videogame/PaperMario'' games.

[[folder:Anime and Manga]]

* A majority of the Uglydolls in ''WesternAnimation/{{Uglydolls}}'' lack noses. In particular is Ugly Dog, who points out that it would be much easier to sniff things out "if [he] had a nose". When putting makeup on him in a later part of the movie, Mandy simply puts powder where his nose ''should'' be, leaving an awkward patch on the center of his face.

* Edd Gould from ''WebAnimation/EddsWorld'' almost never drew noses on his characters. After his death, almost all styles carried this trait over except for "Saloonatics". Lampshaded in the episode "Surf and Turf Wars part 1", where a lobster tries to pinch Matt’s nose only for him to point out that he doesn’t have one.
