Barbarians usually do not have access to good shaving blades or mirrors. So it is not rare to see a barbarian with Manly Facial Hair that puts all other beards to shame. Not only do they dwarf the beards of civilized men, but they also have really awesome dreadlocks and Braids of Barbarism. He may even have body parts from his slain enemies stuck in there. Anyone with a beard like that is immediately flagged as a Berserker, a Blood Knight or both. A Mountain Man, outlaw, or other character who's from a civilized society but leads a much wilder and less civilized lifestyle than his compatriots also frequently embraces this trope. The more barbaric the man is, the more of these traits (largeness, dreadlockedness, braidedness, number of enemy parts) his beard has. As such, the Beard of Barbarism is used to contrast barbarians with civilized soldiers, who either are clean shaven or have tamed facial hair. These beards can also help determine seniority among the barbarians, as the older men have longer beards. Usually paired with Wild Hair or Barbarian Longhair. Dwarf beards also fit this trope most of the time due to Dwarves' roots in Viking mythology, though with less barbaric connotations as Dwarves are usually depicted as at least as civilized as the humans around them. A Sub-Trope of Manly Facial Hair. Compare Beard of Evil, Seadog Beard. See also Horns of Barbarism, Pelts of the Barbarian and Wizard Beard. |

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: Kaneli. He is the elder of the Rito tribe, which has a comparatively uncivilized culture compared with the other races of Hyrule, and he has a big braided beard that fits that role. | |

In World of Warcraft, this trope is exemplified by the vrykul, whose men always have this kind of beard. Additionally, any male player-character Orc or Dwarf can have a beard with multiple braids and rings hanging from it. | |

Far Cry Primal: All the characters with beards qualify as this, since they're cavemen, but by far the most pre-eminent is Wogah the crafter, who has a long, unkempt beard, most likely because he can't comb it, due to having only one hand. | |

Rome: Following the end of the civil war, Caesar fills the depleted ranks of the Roman Senate with representatives from Rome's newly-conquered Gallic provinces, who are distinguished from their "civilized" Roman counterparts by their lengthy beards and hair. note Though in Real Life, the "Gallic senators" appointed by Caesar actually came from Northern Italy, i.e. "Gallia Cisalpina", whose Gallic inhabitants had already lived under Roman rule for over a century, and were a lot more Romanized than their counterparts from across the Alps. | |

God of War: The Barbarian King. Kratos, which is ironic in a way since as a Spartan citizen he's technically the opposite of the original meaning of "barbarian" (essentially "somebody not from Greece"). By the time of God of War (PS4), Kratos' goatee has grown into a full beard, but ironically he's a lot more even-tempered than he was in the earlier games. The Norse gods Kratos goes up against, like Magni, Modi, and Baldur all play this straight, having distinctively massive Viking beards. |

Game of Thrones: A few. The hill tribes have rather large beards. Tormund Giantsbane, whose luxuriant growth is perhaps the most impressive in the show. Malakho has one of the thickest beards among Dany's khalasar. |

Warhammer takes this trope and makes sweet, sweet love to it. The length and fullness of your beard is a direct indicator of how badass you are. From the Norscans to the Dwarfs to the northerly Imperials, almost everyone whose badass has some manner of thick, unruly, seriously grizzly looking beard. Norscans and Nordlanders combine this with Seadog Beard to varying extents — the Norscans due to being demon-possessed Vikings, and the Nordlanders due to being 16th century Sweden in a Fantasy setting. | |

Warhammer: Mark of Chaos: Chaos Marauders bear giant, sometimes forked, sometimes heavily braided beards into battle against the enemies of the Dark Gods and come from a culture of what could only be described as Satanist Vikings. Helmetless Chaos Warriors on the other hand, disappointingly avert this trope. Despite embracing it in the official art for them from the tabletop game. | |
