Roar Before Beating/Playing With

Basic Trope: An enemy roars before it attacks.
 * Straight: Lord Bloodstone's pet dragon Fluffy lets out a loud roar before it engages Bob in combat.
 * Exaggerated: Fluffy lets out a 2-minute-long roar.
 * Justified: Fluffy's roar is an intimidation tactic; it attacks those that are not initially warded off by its roar.
 * Inverted: Fluffy lets out a triumphant roar after defeating Bob.
 * Subverted: Fluffy inhales, suggesting a roar... but it breathes a stream of fire at Bob instead of roaring.
 * Double Subverted: After breathing out the fire, Fluffy roars at Bob.
 * Parodied: Fluffy's roar is far from terrifying (perhaps a roar equivalent of the Un Evil Laugh.)
 * T-35 tank makes a roar before attacking.
 * Deconstructed: Fluffy is left vulnerable to a fatal blow from Bob's sword while it roars.
 * Reconstructed: Fluffy's roar is functional, whether it is ear-piercingly loud or capable of inducing insanity.
 * Fluffy remains on guard while roaring.
 * Zig Zagged: Sometimes Fluffy roars; at other times, Fluffy breathes fire instead.
 * Averted: Fluffy skips the roar and begins the fight right away.
 * Enforced: ???
 * Lampshaded: "Why does every monster we meet roar before a fight? Is it in their blood or something?"
 * Invoked: Lord Bloodstone trained Fluffy to roar at opponents before attacking as an intimidation technique.
 * Exploited: Bob stabs Fluffy while it is roaring.
 * Defied: Fluffy avoids roaring so that it can ambush Bob.
 * Discussed: ???
 * Conversed: ???
