Interspecies Adoption: Difference between revisions

Even in settings where [[Talking Animal]], [[Civilized Animal]], or [[Funny Animal]] animals exist, adoptions will still happen between parents and children. Some parents are caring enough to take in a child, regardless of their species. They may be [[Raised By Wolves|animals raising a human child]], [[Raised By Humans|humans raising an animal child]], animals raising animals of a different species, or any combonation of the three. It doesn't matter, [[Happily Adopted|as adoption is still adoption]], and [[Good Parents|parents will always be parents]]. The subject of the adoption may or may not even be an issue among society.

 

 

 

== Anime And Manga ==

* Penn in ''[[Soul Nomad and The World Eaters]]'' is adopted by the Nereids. This is part of a breeding plan when he turns 18.

* ''[[F-Zero]]'''s Leon, [[Retcon|depending on the game]] (although both examples still fit). In ''X'', he's adopted by Mrs. Arrow and her husband Super Arrow, a [[They Fight Crime|crime-fighting]] [[Superhero]] [[Battle Couple|couple]]. According to ''GX'', however, he was instead adopted by Fable, a soldier belonging to the race that attacked Leon's homeworld twelve years ago (which led to the poor kid [[Parental Abandonment|losing his parents]] and [[Eye Scream|his left eye]], [[War Is Hell|as well as Zou becoming an economical dump]]) who [[Heel Face Turn|rebelled]] [[Defector From Decadence|when he became disgusted by their tactics]]. Leon's a bipedal cat-like alien, the Arrows are human, and Fable is another species of extraterrestrial being.

* At the end of ''[[Final Fantasy IV the After Years]]'', {{spoiler|[[Redemption Equals Life|the last remaining Maenad]] is adopted by Rydia and christened Cuore.}} This is a bit of an ambiguous example as {{spoiler|the Maenads are a race of [[Artificial Human|Artificial Humans]] made in Rydia's image by [[The Man Behind the Man|The Creator]].}}

* After her parents were killed by [[Space Pirates]], [[Metroid|Samus Aran]] was adopted by the [[Perfect Pacifist People|Chozo]], an ancient race of bird-like creatures that raised her and trained her to be [[Bounty Hunter|what she is]].

* ''[[Neverwinter Nights 2]]''. The protagonist's race can change, but the foster father is always the same.

 

* [[Cat Dog]] continually brought up one particular issue over the course of the series: Where did CatDog actually come from? For as long as they can remember, they'd always lived on their own. The series ended with CatDog going on a long journey to find their parents. It was never revealed ''how'' CatDog came to be, but for a brief time after they were born, they had been raised by a frog for a father and a sasquatch for a mother. They were all separated in a storm.

* Darwin from [[The Amazing World of Gumball]] used to just be the Waterson family's pet fish, but he developed intelligence, grew legs, became Gumball's best friend, and the family adopted him as one of their own.

* ''[[Buzz Lightyear of Star Command]]'' probably topped this concept beyond most other examples by having a human girl being adopted by two robots.
