Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO SelfCloak. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Most living beings are able to communicate a lot of things with simple body gestures. Many choose to do so in the form of grunting, a low, guttural noise in the throat.

Depending on the context, it can communicate joy, satisfaction, acknowledgement, or any other emotion one wishes.


Examples of Expressive Grunting include:

Live Action TV[]

  • Odo from Star Trek Deep Space Nine usually communicated many of his emotions via grunting noises, though he was perfectly capable of speech.

Video Games[]

  • In Minecraft, villagers communicate entirely by grunting, and the tone usually indicates their moods.
