Humanoid Female Animal: Difference between revisions

In many cartoon TV shows, films, and video games, the female animal characters may be drawn more obviously anthropomorphic than the male animals.

 

 

 

It is worth noting, perhaps, that facial hair is probably the one mostly male-exclusive attribute used for such characters, this being one clue of masculinity that is not hidden by clothing.

This trope applies only to characters based on actual known species. Aliens, monsters and mythical beings can have [[Bizarre Alien Biology]], after all.

 

 

Sometimes results in [[Furry Confusion]].

 

== Anime & Manga ==

* In ''[[Blacksad (Comic Book)|Blacksad]]'', the bodies are more or less completely anthropomorphic no matter which gender the character is, but the women often have more human-like faces than the men.

* Subverted in ''[[Grandville (Comic Book)|Grandville]]'', where the male and female anthropomorphic characters both have the same level of anthropomorphism.

** ... And Rosinha Rocha practically [[Petting Zoo People|looks like a human, except with a beak!]]

* This is taken to extremes in the ''[[Two Thousand AD (Comic Book)|Two Thousand AD]]'' strip "The Meltdown Man". Sergeant Nick Stone is blasted into the future, where he finds a race of genetically modified animals with human atributes. He allies himself with three of them, [[Our Werewolves Are Different|a male wolf]], [[A Load of Bull|a male bull]], [[Catgirl|and a female cat]]. [http://gammabase.tripod.com/2000ad188-01.html Here you can see the three of them together], while the animal traits in the two male ones are obvious, if I hadn't told you this girl was half-cat you probably wouln't noticed.

 

== Video Games ==

* With the notable exception of The Contessaa (who is a spider-centaur-thing with no humanoid legs), the female characters in the ''[[Sly Cooper]]'' video games tend to have more human-like bodies than the male characters.

** With the exception of THE inspector, there's not much difference, especially in the Holland hotel in Sly 3.

* Inverted hard with the two cats from [[The Simpsons]]; the Simpson family's pet cat, Snowball II (a female cat) and Scratchy (a male [[Funny Animal]] cat) from [[The Itchy and Scratchy Show]]. This is likely because Snowball II is a "real" cat and Scratchy is a "cartoon" cat.

** Scratchy (the [[Four Legs Good Two Legs Better|bipedal]] cat) and Snowball II (the normal quadrupedal cat) show up together in ''The Simpsons [[Treehouse of Horror]] IX'' segment, "The Terror of Tiny Toon". The two cats are at [[Sliding Scale of Anthropomorphism|such differing levels of anthropomorphism]] that [[Furry Confusion]] ensues.

* ''[[Animaniacs (Animation)|Animaniacs]]'':

** Rita is a [[Civilized Animal]] cat who often walks on two legs, but her friend, Runt, is a four-legged [[Talking Animal]] dog.

*** Also played with regarding Dot Warner in "Roll Over Beethoven". When she dresses in a red dress and shoes, she looks inexplicably more human-like (in other words, like a [[Petting Zoo Person]]) than usual (that is, a [[Funny Animal]]).

* Mousey Galore is more anthropomorphic than the other mice in ''[[Pinky and The Brain]]'', even more so than the other female mice.

* Played straight in ''[[Western Animation]]/{{Kaeloo]]'', where the female animals shown in men's magazines are bordering on [[Little Bit Beastly]]. Even Kaeloo herself, who [[Viewer Gender Confusion|lacks]] most forms of [[Tertiary Sexual Characteristics]] has some serious junk in the trunk and has a light curve to her hips which is often accentuated in the way she stands. She is also significantly less prone to dropping a [[Furry Reminder]] than her male friends.
