Badass Mustache and Badass Beard are being merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. Having facial hair is not enough to qualify. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with masculinity/manliness in some way. Please read the trope description before readding to make sure the example qualifies.

This is when a helmet's visor is embossed with a furious face or something similarly frightening. Merely having scary-looking eye-slits doesn't count, although features that just vaguely suggest a wrathful expression might. Stern looks also count, and might even be scarier than the raging ones. MechaMooks might have this, depending on how their "faces" look. Compare and contrast MalevolentMaskedMen (for when the scary visor is the whole point) and ExpressiveMask (which actually ''changes'' expression). See also FacelessGoons and GasMaskMooks. A common feature of ScaryImpracticalArmor.

* In ''Videogame/TheWitcher3'', the Wild Hunt wear scary skull themed black armor with skull-like helms. This is a deliberate intimidation tactic on their part. It's made more effective by the fact that they are Aen Elle, elves who are much taller on average than humans. Their helms also seem to be enchanted to make their voices sound [[EvilSoundsDeep deeper]] -- when their helmets are off they sound fairly normal (if arrogant) but with them on they sound like demons from the pits of hell.

* Ithicanian army in ''Literature/TheBridgeKingdomArchives'' wears helms resembling savage animals, which--as [[TheProtagonist prince Aren]] says, was his grandfather's stroke of genius, even though they are uncomfortable to wear. But they hide the identity really well, which allows Aren himself to go on spying missions, as well as hiding the fact that a large proportion of Ithicanian military consists of women.
