* Daryl from ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' appears to be a bad tempered, redneck hick. He's also an excellent tracker, has knowledge of Native American history, and is quite possibly the best all around survivalist in the group.

* ''Series/MyWorldAndWelcomeToIt'': The character of [[HayseedName Zeph Leggin]] appears in two episodes, "A Friend of the Earth" and "Native Wit." He's essentially a transplanted hayseed sage from the South or Midwest who hangs around Westbury's version of a general store, dispensing homespun witticisms to his circle of admirers. John crosses his path soon enough and spends both episodes matching wits with him.

* Lucas Baker, eldest child of the [[HillbillyHorrors Baker family]] in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil7Biohazard'', is a rural Louisiana native with a strong Deep South accent and dialect, and has a prowess with machinery that's been winning him amateur inventor/engineering contest prizes since he was elementary school age. Since the Bakers fell under the influence of the installment's particular horror illness and became a hostile CannibalClan, he started using that knack for tinkering to become a TrapMaster who treats violence as a toy (mind you, [[spoiler:he [[LackOfEmpathy always had that kind of mentality by nature]]; he chafed under having GoodParents who wanted to keep him in line growing up, is cured, and is using his parents' affliction as leeway to fully "be himself"]]) and executes trespassers on the family's property via ''Film/{{Saw}}''-style "games". A homebrew grenade launcher and flamethrower can also be found and used over the course of the game that are implied via the rough looks and [[PsychopathicManchild colored-pencil-y and doodled-on maps leading toward their locations]] to have been made by him. [[spoiler:The post-main game ''Not a Hero'' DLC also reveals that since he was cured, in true ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'' tradition, he's been dabbling in full-on MadScientist work on the sly.]]
