Intellectual Animal: Difference between revisions

{{examples}}

== Anime and Manga ==

** Particularly the Rocket trio's Meowth, who originally learned to talk to impress a female Meowth (it didn't work).

** Additionally, ''Pokemon'' had a Slowking that could also talk in human speech, though in its case it was because of [[Brilliant but Lazy|the actual high intelligence level inherent in all Slowking.]]

*** Mewtwo fits this trope even more closely, being extremely intelligent, telepathic and not particularly friendly.

* The wolves from ''[[Wolf's Rain]]'' are definitely smart and intimidating. Kiba and Tsume are also quite contemptuous of humans (Kiba tends to kill ''lots'' of them). They usually communicate telepathically, but when they take on their human disguises it's interpreted as actual speech. Many of the other animals are telepathic as well.

* Nyanko-sensei/Madara from ''[[Natsume Yuujinchou]]''.

* It's not enough that Tony Tony Chopper of ''[[One Piece]]'', once a normal reindeer, ate the Hito Hito no Mi devil fruit and became a talking animal with humanesque forms. He then was trained to become a doctor. By the time he joined the Straw Hat Pirates at age 15, he was a completely capable physician able to mix medicine, perform surgery, and [[Harmless Freezing|thaw and resuscitate completely frozen people]] in an age where normal technology is about the level of the Renaissance. He's a veritable [[Doogie Howser, M.D.]] On top of that, he's [[Deadly Doctor|not a bad fighter, either]].

* It isn't clear how smart all of the animals from ''[[Mori no Ando]]'' are but [[Turtle Power|the turtle]] appears to be able to read kanji and the fish can speak English.
