* ''Sythyry's Journal'' references a character's "horse" a few times, then makes some comments about said horse pecking at people with its beak. |

* ''[[Spec World]]'', naturally, [http://www.unet.univie.ac.at/~a0000265/Spec/index.html has some fun with this]. Many of the animals ''look'' an awful lot like Earth animals but [[Shown Their Work|are biologically very different]]. Thus we have Unmice, Notacoons, Toothawks, and Baygulls among others. They're just as likely to name animals after fictional species and characters, however. |

* ''The [[SCP Foundation]]'''s SCP-682 is known as the [[Nigh Invulnerable|Hard-to-Destroy]] Reptile. While it may ''look'' reptillian, it's actually [[Eldritch Abomination|something so alien]] that [[Humans Through Alien Eyes|it sees Earth lifeforms as horrific monstrosities]] [[Absolute Xenophobe|that must be killed]]. |

* [http://nequ.deviantart.com/art/A-Lykan-1-of-3-253662156 This series] zig-zags furiously. It takes place in a distant future where humanity as we know it doesn't exist. While the space weredog member of the duo [[Call a Rabbit a Smeerp|likes dog-related idioms]]—turning "carrot and stick" into "treat and (rolled-up) newspaper", for example--, several items seem similar to their usual variants, at first. But "doorknobs" are apparently touchscreen devices that can be hacked, and windows have sliders to control their opacity instead of shades or curtains. Amusingly, [[Uncoffee]] doesn't exist; several alien races with precognitive ability exported coffee off-earth before humanity died. |
