Of course they could just be there because they're [[Tastes Like Diabetes|really]] [[Ridiculously Cute Critter|cute]] and easily made into [[Merchandise-Driven|plush toys.]]
Often the owner of the head is an unwilling steed, as the

Line 52:
* Partially applies to Yachiru from ''[[Bleach]]'' and her love of resting on (and chewing!) Ikkaku's head. Also partially applies from the way she spends a lot of time on Kenpachi's [[Parrot Pet Position|shoulder]].
* Wanna see a cat resting on top of another cat? Take a look at Nekoconeko from ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]''. And then Sakaki puts a Nekoconeko on ''her'' head...
* Maro rides on Misako Kurata's head in ''[[Kodomo no Omocha]]''. Mama Kurata even answers ([[In-Universe]]!) the inevitable [[Fridge Logic]] of having a squirrel in your
* In ''[[Potemayo]]'', the title moeblob spends much of its time sitting on Sunao's head. And she generally has a small yellow bird on her head at the same time.
* Yuuno in ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (anime)|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'' occasionally takes this position. [[Captain Obvious|When he's in his ferret form, that is]].
Line 119:
** The Duck Man, first seen in ''[[Discworld/Soul Music|Soul Music]]''. Slightly averted in that he has no idea he ''has'' a duck on his head, and is confused that everyone around him always seems to be talking about some duck somewhere. "Isn't it time to feed your duck?" "What duck?"
** Not unlike a costume Rincewind wears in ''[[Discworld/Unseen Academicals|Unseen Academicals]]'', in which the other wizards chase him around the campus in one of UU's inexplicable traditions. In that case, the duck is a wooden fake.
** In ''[[Discworld/Wintersmith|Wintersmith]]'', Granny Weatherwax carries her kitten You under her witch hat to keep her head
** In ''[[Discworld/Wyrd Sisters|Wyrd Sisters]]'', Greebo once pounced on the Fool's head, found he couldn't claw through the chain-mail protective wrapping the man was wearing (just because he's a Fool, doesn't mean he's stupid), and wound up clinging to the mail all the way out of the castle and into the woods.
** While passing for traveling entertainers in ''[[Discworld/Jingo|Jingo]]'', Lord Vetinari uses sleight-of-hand to make a baby chicken appear under Sgt. Colon's fez. An unhousebroken chick, as it happens.
Line 156:
* In Title Defense mode of the Wii ''[[Punch-Out!!]]'', Bear Hugger acquires a pet squirrel, who spends the fight under his black stocking cap. Which leads to the priceless sight of Bear Hugger lifting the cap, the squirrel coming out, as he yells "Hat trick!"
* Nagino Ise from ''[[Shikigami no Shiro]]'' fights with a bunny on her head (the bunny also wears an aviator helmet).
* A weird variant in ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'': Cait Sith is a small cat who rides on top of a giant Moogle. However, it's the ''moogle'' that doesn't say or do anything, and is only used by Cait Sith to move around and attack. Of course, neither one is really a
* In ''[[Final Fantasy XIII]]'', Sazh Katzroy has a baby chocobo living in his [[Funny Afro|'fro]].
* ''[[Knights in The Nightmare]]''
Line 167:
* The plot of ''[[Jabless Adventure]]'' is set off by a squid named Squiddy perching on Jables's head, and informing the boy that he's [[The Hero]]. Squiddy remains on Jables's head for the rest of the game.
* ''[[Team Fortress 2]]''
** Two of the [[Nice Hat
** Players of opposite teams can also stand on each other, and thus invoke this trope when they're not playing seriously.
* The ''[[Minecraft]]'' mod Mo' Creatures includes bunnies that will hop onto the player character's head if the player character approaches them.
Line 225:
* A girl and her cat have made it part of their [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExZ0i04pSeY nightly routine.]
* Subverted in the classic [[Pull a Rabbit Out of My Hat]] magic trick, as the rabbit is actually hidden beneath the table, not inside the hat.
* [[World War II]] correspondent Ernie Pyle reported the story of an American officer in North Africa who let a big
* Some 18th century women's wigs were so very elaborate, they actually incorporated tiny birdcages in which small finches or canaries could be kept.
