History Main / TheNoseless

* Zim from ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim.'' However, [[JustifiedTrope he can get away with it]] because he's an [[BizarreAlienBiology alien.]]

* The default player skins, Steve and Alex, in ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' do not have noses. However, it is possible to have a nose with custom skins.

* In ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'', the only main character with a nose is Strong Mad. This doesn't stop Strong Bad from putting sunscreen on his face as if he had one, though. One answering machine has the King of Town threatening to reveal Marzipan's "questionable voluntary surgery" in retaliation for Marzipan having let slip that the [=KoT=]'s [[EmbarrassingMiddleName middle name is "Wad"]]. If you click on the tape you can get "before" and "after" photos; the "before" shows Marzipan with a prominent nose.

** The show has special, simplified character designs for long-distance shots which omit noses except for Pearl's because it's part of her silhouette. The art styles in "[[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E33GarnetsUniverse Garnet's Universe]]", ''VideoGame/AttackTheLight'', ''VideoGame/SaveTheLight'', and ''VideoGame/UnleashTheLIght'' are all based on said models, including humanoids lacking noses.

->''"She doesn't have any holes in her nose."''\\
''"Neither do you! This is a cartoon! Since when does the artist amuse himself with such little details?!"''

* The manga ''Manga/AliveTheFinalEvolution'' features later on a character in the military who has no nose. [[spoiler:Later still he is forced to undergo plastic surgery and as a result gains a nose by the end of the series.]]

* In ''ComicBook/{{Femforce}}'', villainess Nanette Walters, a.k.a. 'No-Nose Nanette', received her nickname after he nose was bitten off by the supervillain Rip-Jaw.

* PlayedForDrama in ''Film/{{Se7en}}''. For his "Pride" murder, John Doe cuts off a beautiful model's nose and leaves her locked in a hotel room. To prove that she's guilty of the "deadly sin" of pride, he glues a cell phone to one of her hands and glues a bottle of pills to the other -- thus giving her a choice between committing suicide or calling for help and having to live with her deformity. [[spoiler:She chooses suicide]].
* In ''Film/TheSaltonSea'', Pooh-Bear, played by Creator/VincentDOnofrio, has snorted so much meth that his nose had to be removed. He wears a plastic prosthesis.
* Villainous Tim Strawn, played by Lee Marvin in ''Film/CatBallou'', is known as Silvernose due to his prosthetic replacement.

* Erik from ''Literature/ThePhantomOfTheOpera'' as one of his main skull-like characteristics.

* ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime'': Fan nickname for Myrddraal, who ''should'' have a nose, but are frequently descibed as having a smooth space where their eyes should be. [[FridgeLogic Since most people's noses would make a big lump there...]]

* Some of the [[SuperpoweredMooks Splicers]] in ''VideoGame/BioShock1'' and ''[[VideoGame/BioShock2 2]]'' have faces so deformed that they have a flab of flesh cover the part of their face where their nose would normally be.

* The ghouls in the {{VideoGame/Fallout}} series have gaping holes where their noses once were.

* Everyone but the Manager from "WebAnimation/{{Спиногрызы}}" are noseless.

* Everyone but the Manager from "WebAnimation/Спиногрызы" are noseless.

* The Guardians in ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' can be identified because each possesses only ''one'' facial feature. Bro has eyes (or at least TriangleShades); Rose's mom has a mouth; John's dad has a nose (and constantly [[StandardFiftiesFather smokes a pipe]] despite his lack of a mouth); Becquerel has ears. Most other characters also lack noses, but have the usual complement of other facial features.

** The animated scenes in the [[UsefulNotes/PlayStationPortable PSP]] remake reveal that the characters actually do have noses, only that they're very small and can only be seen when looking at the face at a profile. Some of the artwork for the PSP remake does include noses, and [[TheMerch figurines of the characters]] reflect this.

* ''WebAnimation/DrawWithMe'', both of the characters are lacking noses.

* Literature/JeffTheKiller. Of course, there's [[SelfHarm a good reason for this.]]

* In ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'', according to WordOfGod, while most characters are simply drawn without noses, Finn actually ''doesn't'' have one. [[spoiler:Farmworld Finn, on the other hand, does.]] Lack of noses is apparently a genetic mutation caused by the lingering aftereffects of [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt the Mushroom War]], which is why humans born ''before'' the Mushroom War (like [[spoiler:the Ice King]]) still have them. Ditto for [[spoiler:Farmworld Finn]], who was [[spoiler:born in an alternate universe where the war never happened]].

* Davy Jones' squid-like mutations in ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' have left him with smooth skin where a nose should be.

* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' are drawn without noses, nor is [[TheVamp Sedusa]] viewed from nearly any angle but profile.

* Due to being {{Artificial Human}}s mutated with Chemical X, ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' have no fingers, toes, or noses.

* WebOriginal/JeffTheKiller. Of course, there's [[SelfHarm a good reason for this.]]

* Shelley from WesternAnimation/WillandDewitt does not have a nose.

* ''ComicBook/RobinSeries'': The Curator's unnatural apperance includes a lack of nose.
