History Main / TheVoiceless

* Sergei Dragunov of ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'' doesn't speak at all -- the only noises he makes are grunts when he's attacking or being hit (and, in the case of one of his ''Tekken 6'' win poses, ''humming''). Not much of a problem, in that (since it's a FightingGame) he communicates mainly by kicking ass.

* ''VideoGame/DustyRevenge'' is set in a world populated by andromorphic animals perfectly capble of speech, and then there are bosses who doesn't have any dialogue, like the KillerGorilla Tongada who only roars throughout the battle.

* Mime from ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends'' takes his job very seriously. The amount of times he has made vocal noises can be counted on one hand, and he has never outright spoken.

* ''Videogame/{{Loopmancer}}'' have it's first boss, Big Guy, who doesn't have any lines save for grunting and roaring. All the other bosses have dialogue during cutscenes and for swapping some BossBanter while fighting.

* Red in the [[WesternAnimation/Cars2 Cars] [[WesternAnimation/Cars3 sequels]]. He was voiceless because the actor that voiced him in the original WesternAnimation/Cars1, Creator/JoeRanft died (it happened before the first movie was even released).

%%* Jason from ''Webcomic/{{Transmission}}''.

* Keith Gandor of ''LightNovel/{{Baccano}}'' doesn't speak throughout the entire anime series, despite being a main character and frequently appearing. This is taken to a much larger extreme in the light novel series, which mentions that he has a tendency to go ''years'' without talking. The irony of this would be that, even with his muteness ramped up to eleven, Keith actually ''does'' get an in-scene line in the first book: [[spoiler: "That guy's an idiot."]]

** In ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'', Mr. Homn, Lwaxana's valet, never speaks until the end of his first appearance, surprising everyone when he gives his one line: "Thanks for the drinks". He would never speak again.
** TNG also has Admiral Thomas Henry from "The Drumhead". He never speaks a word during his one scene, instead casting a DeathGlare upon InsaneAdmiral Norah Satie during her paranoid rant against Captain Picard.

* On an episode of ''Series/TheXFiles'' set in a town full of sideshow performers, the heavily-tattooed Conundrum doesn't say anything until the very end, when he breaks his silence to deliver a lame punch-line.

* The titular character in ''Film/{{Bumblebee}}'' is silent for most of the film, as he loses his voice box. Through his human friend Charlie, he learns how to use his radio to speak for him.

* The episode "Battleground" of the mini-series ''Nightmares and Dreamscapes'' has no dialog whatsoever, including extras and an anchorwoman on television (the audience in aware of what's being reported by text instead). The main character does make some noise, such as yelling in pain, anger or surprise.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Dumbo}}'' never learned to speak, due to his young age, so he doesn't get a line in his own movie. His partner, Timothy Mouse, does all the talking for him.

** Vamprah never says a word in any of his appearances (misplaced word bubbles in the comics notwithstanding). According to WordOfGod, he even remained silent while getting electrocuted to dust with the rest of his team.

* Isaku, the main antagonist and [[CharacterTitle title character]] of the ''Isaku'' SurvivalHorror games and its anime adaptions, doesn't speak. He only communicates to the protagonist through notes narrated by someone else and videotapes of [[IsThatWhatTheyreCallingItNow his deeds]].

* Maine of ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'' was The Voiceless before becoming TheSpeechless, speaking clearly a grand total of three times in Season 9 before being shot in the throat and becoming mostly mute save for making inhuman growl sounds.

* Several characters from ''[[Machinima/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers SMG4]]'' are this, with them only making voice grunts.

* Roxanne from Ben and Izzy doesn't speak for most of the show and is always chewing gum instead.[[spoiler: Until the final episode when she gets her heel-face turn, lampshaded by Ben and Izzy.]]

* Maine of ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'' was The Voiceless before becoming TheSpeechless, speaking clearly a grand total of three times in Season 9 before being shot in the throat and becoming mute.
