* {{Wolverine}}, like, all the time.

** The modern IDW comics go with a mighty "SKREEOOONK!" for Godzilla, and a divergent "SKREAAAAK" for [[Film/{{Godzilla 1998}} Zilla]].

* The novelization of ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'' was one of the few ''Franchise/StarWars'' books to actually try to write out Chewbacca's speech (as well as that of R2-D2 and the Ewoks). "Rheeaaahhr!", "Groawwwwr!", and "Rowr ahragh awf ahraroww rowh rohngr grgrff rf rf." were typical lines. [[http://wookieepedia.org/w/Wrouau There's even a Wookieepedia page for the sound "wrouau."]] [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer Seriously.]]

* ''Comicbook/{{Watchmen}}'' has a incredibly [[{{Narm}} Narmful]] one when Rorschach jumps out of a window: "RRAAAARRL". No punctuation. (MemeticMutation frequently uses this for macros, photoshops, and .gifs)
* Mocked in an issue of ''Comicbook/{{Excalibur}}'' where Lockheed the dragon bites a burglar who yells 'Yeargh' and his companion bemusedly notes that you never really hear people say that, although you see it written down a lot.

* ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'': There's also Charlie Brown's famous "AAUGH!".

* ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyTrialsAndTribulations'' has Furio Tigre (named Zenitora in the original Japanese version) from the third case, who growls so loudly at times, his roar stretches through up to six (!) text boxes. [[spoiler: And his final one shorts out the lights in the courtroom.]]

* ''Webcomic/ParallelDementia'' absolutely loves this, so it naturally showed up a lot in the extended {{Crossover}} between ''Webcomic/EmergencyExit'' and ''Webcomic/ParallelDementia''. Prime examples include [[http://eecomics.net/?strip_id=689 this epic "Graaaaaarr!!"]] and [[http://pd.milkinthepantry.com/?strip_id=266 this epic "Screeeaaaah!"]].

* ''VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl'': Arceus, the apparently ultimate God, has a menacing cry written as..."Dodogyuuun".

* ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney: Trials and Tribulations'' has Furio Tigre (named Zenitora in the original Japanese version) from the third case, who growls so loudly at times, his roar stretches through up to six (!) text boxes.

* [[http://osteele.com/words/aargh The Aargh Page]] was created as an example of [[http://osteele.com/archives/2005/12/aargh how search engines can be used explore how words are spelled]]. Words often have more than one acceptable spelling, and that's particularly true of onomatopoeia.

* In ''TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob,'' this was the vocabulary of the annually appearing [[HalloweenEpisode Halloween Monster]] for the first few years of [[strike:his]] her existence. These days, she goes "BOO!" very loudly, instead. In a variation, [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever Unigar the Vast Unicorn]] roars with a blood-curdling "PURR!" (because all normal-sized unicorns in the Bob-verse purr).
