Gao (ガオー) kaomoji roar with wide mouths and fierce eyes — (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و and ( >ω<) — channeling the sound of a little beast pretending to be scary. They're fierce but adorable.

Use gao kaomoji to playfully threaten, act tough, or add a cute growl to your message.

'Gao' is the Japanese onomatopoeia for a roar — the go-to sound for tiny characters acting bigger than they are.
