Breathing Sound Effects

Breathing sound effects, human and otherwise. Heavy breaths after a fight, and the shaky breathing of someone hiding who really doesn't want to be heard. Then the monsters. Dragons and beasts breathe slow and deep in the dark while zombies wheeze. Farm animals snort and huff too.

Breathing is the quietest way to put a body in a scene. A few breaths before a line of dialogue make an animated character feel alive, and in a game, heavy panting after a sprint tells the player their character is tired without a single word. Effort libraries pair breaths with every Grunt and Pain sound, so a fight can be voiced from start to finish. Horror loves breathing because it's intimate. A slow breath right behind the camera is scarier than any monster you can see. Creatures work the same way, and the breath before the roar is when the audience leans in.
