History Main / MightyRoar

* ''{{Pokemon}}'' has the move Roar, which makes the opponent Pokemon switch or flee the battle. Of course, it's learned by a lot of big Pokemon, but is specially notable on the legendary beasts of [[PokemonGoldAndSilver the second generation]], [[ThatOneBoss which use it to escape from you if you ever find them and block their exit]].
** Bizarrely, the [[{{Kitsune}} Vulpix line,]] [[HeroicDog Lillipup line, Growlithe line]], [[BullyBulldog Snubbull line]], [[{{Hellhound}} Houndour line]] and Te''pig'' line lean this move. Apparently in the Pokemon world dogs and pigs roar.
* ''{{Okami}}'''s very own {{Orochi}} has one, and it's the key to defeating him. When he roars, your pour Sake into his mouth when he roars to lower his barrier.

* The nine-tailed Kyuubi from ''{{Naruto}}'' deserves a mention with a roar powerful enough to cause miniature destruction across its path - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTfP-pEwKl8

* Little baby Clover from ''{{Cloverfield}}'' may have the most impressive set of lungs out of all the monsters. In fact one of the OST songs is explicitly called "Roar" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4p3rM9jOdE

** Though when Simba's still a cub, this ends up being an anticlimax. His "roar" is a kitten-like "Reeer!" RuleOfFunny. Also {{Real Life}} - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FN7QpfboRMI

* ''{{Pokemon}}'' has the move Roar, which makes the opponent Pokemon switch or flee the battle. Of course, it's learnd by a lot of big Pokemon, but is specially notable on the legendary beasts of [[PokemonGoldAndSilver the second generation]], [[ThatOneBoss which use it to escape from you if you ever find them and block their exit]].
** Somewhat bizarrely, the [[{{Kitsune}} Vulpix line,]] [[HeroicDog Lillipup line, Growlithe line]], Te''pig'' line, and Snubbull line[[hottip:*:Pugs]] lean this move.

** It's weird that Ar''[[HeroicDog canine]]'' leans this move.

* The shark from ''{{Jaws}}: The Revenge'' actually roars like a lion in one of the most egregious cases of {{ArtisticLicenceBiology}}

** A lot of them will do it in the anime, like Charizard and Onix. Special mention to Palkia, Dialga, and Giratina for having kaiju roars out of the ''Godzilla'' movies!

** The brush god Gekigami has one of these. Fitting, as he's a tiger god of thunderstorms.
