* Every few years [[Spider-Man]] winds up more spider than man. He always gets better. His enemies The Lizard (usually animalistic) and The Jackal (usually a [[Mad Scientist]]) definitely qualify.
* [[Batman]]'s recurring foe Killer Croc falls into this quite often, but can get quite silly considering his official origin is a "skin condition", which doesn't really explain why some versions of him have a ''tail''. [[Handwaved]] by having Hush infect him with a virus that speeds up his 'devolution', causing him to develop more bestial traits.
* A few turn up in ''[[Last Man Standing (graphic novel)|Last Man Standing]]'' as genetic experiments made by [[Mega Corp|Armtech]].
* [[Mad Scientist]] Dr. Robidoux creates these in ''[[Wynonna Earp]]: The Yeti Wars''.

* Beastmen are a playable army in ''[[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]]'', they are human/animal mutants created by the warping influence of Chaos and look like humanoids with animal heads, hooves, tails and other animal parts.
** Apparently there's also a handful hiding in the [[Warhammer 4000040,000|Eye of Terror]] as well. Whether or not they're the same kind of beastman is debatable.
* ''[[Exalted]]''
** Beastmen, in this case the half-human, half-animal offspring of Lunars. Oh, and they're produced [[Shapeshifting Lover|the old-fashioned way]]. Yeah...

* The [[Dungeons and& Dragons|D&D]] setting of [[Eberron]] has the Shifter race. Shifters have a lycanthropic heritage.
** "Beastmen" or "beastfolk" are an actual race in the ''World of Greyhawk'' setting. They're mostly human-shaped, but covered in color-changing fur.
* ''[[Gamma World]]'' has an endless supply of beastmen of every species.
* The Broos from ''[[Rune QuestRuneQuest]]'' are like this, with especially [[Squick]]-tastic origins.<ref>For reference, they have the power to mate with ''any'' [[But You Screw One Goat!|animal]] in the world, and once they do, the baby eats its way out of the pregnant animal with the attributes of its parent. [[Nausea Fuel|You may barf now]].</ref>
* Nearly all of the less civilized races of ''[[Talislanta]]'' fit this trope, to a greater or lesser degree. Even Archeans, the setting's human-analogs, are descended from [[Beast Folk]] who used magic to eliminate their more animalistic traits.
* The ''World of Darkness'' has whole slews of these:
