Line 14:
If this isn't the character's default, natural form, it can result from a [[Werewolf]] using a [[Partial Transformation]] into a [[Wolf Man]], [[Shapeshifting]], or genesplicing/magical transformations. This person is basically a [[Wild Man]] who has become part of the natural world.

Line 25:
* Zazie The Beast from the ''[[Trigun]]'' manga.
* Tony Tony Chopper's Third and Monster form from ''[[One Piece (Manga)|One Piece]]''. Most Zoan's halfways forms count too.
* As the series carries on in ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' the Chimaera stop being [[Mix and Match Critters]] and end up becoming more like these, by the end of the series we have a gorilla, a hog/porcupine mix, a frog or toad...[[Buffy -Speak|thing]], and a lion.
* ''[[Franken Fran]]'''s Gavrill is a "transformer", a person with a sectioned body and complete control over its shape, is capable of turning into giant wolf-like beast with two rows of teeth. She also possesses [[Super Senses]] and acts the part, being the vicious leader of a gang of murderous outlaws.
* About [http://s3.amazonaws.com/kym-assets/photos/images/newsfeed/000/127/429/furry%20town.png?1318992465 half of the population] of [[Dream Land|Vision]] in [[Brave Story]], most notably the lizard merchant and cat girl (but not a [[Catgirl]]) Meeia.
Line 75:
** "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 (Tabletop Game)|Gamma World]]'' has an endless supply of beastmen of every species.
* The Broos from ''[[Rune Quest]]'' 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:
Line 122:
* ''[[Thunder Cats]]'' has two prime examples: the felinoid, generally heroic Thunderians, and their more varied but [[Always Chaotic Evil|decidedly less ethical]] arch-enemies, [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|the Mutants of Plun-Darr]].
** In ''[[Thundercats 2011 (Western Animation)|Thundercats 2011]]'' the titular [[Catfolk|Cats]] and [[Big Bad]] Mumm-Ra are the most [[Humanoid Aliens]] of Third Earth's Animals, while most other Species are [[Petting Zoo People]].
* The shaggy, cave-dwelling Beast Men in Filmation's ''[[Flash Gordon (Animation)|Flash Gordon]]''. Dr. Zarkov theorized that [[Card -Carrying Villain|Ming]] was deliberately keeping their civilization from advancing just because he enjoyed having a tribe of savages who would worship him.
* An episode of ''[[Batman Beyond (Animation)|Batman Beyond]]'' invokes the genesplicing arm of this trope, oddly enough as a popular fad among teens ranging from [[Animal Eyes]] and noticeable horns, scales, fangs all the way to a [[Half -Human Hybrid|humanoid chimera]] and [[Body Horror|repulsive mass of mixed up flesh]].
