Examples of [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]]s in [[{{SUBPAGENAME}}]] include:
 
* In ''[[My Life as a Teenage Robot]]'', there's Sheldon's [[Dogged Nice Guy]] crush on [[Robot Girl]] Jenny Wakeman. {{spoiler|[[Word of God]] says that if the show hadn't been cancelled, they would have actually become an [[Official Couple]].}}
Line 13 ⟶ 14:
** From the same season, "Sea Change" paired the Autobot Seaspray with an alien humanoid woman whose people guarded a magical spring that let any living thing that entered it [[Power Perversion Potential|assume any shape it wanted to]].
** The Transformers wiki [http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Robot-fleshling_romance has a list.] It comes up more often that it, strictly speaking, should. Unless, of course, there's a writer with a fetish.
* ''[[BoJakBoJack Horseman]]'' is a cartoon where [[Funny Animal]]s live among humans, so relations like this are common. The protagonist (an anthropomorphic horse) often dates Princess Carolyn (a Persian cat) and dates human women frequently. Oddly, he has yet to be seen dating his own species.
* So far ''[[Ben 10]]'' has seen a marriage between a cousin of Ben's and a sludge-like shapeshifting alien, and a visit from Grandpa Max's [[Green-Skinned Space Babe]] from his days with [[The Men in Black]], in addition to obvious romantic attraction between a mostly humanoid four-armed alien and a floating tentacled brain.
** The sequel series ''[[Ben 10: Alien Force|Ben 10 Alien Force]]'' is built on the premise of multiple [[Half-Human Hybrid|Half Human Hybrids]] whose parents are all aliens who fell in love with humans and went native.
Line 44 ⟶ 45:
** [[Evil Albino|Freakshow]] and his henchwoman Lydia also deserve a mention.
** [[Word of God]] has said that ghosts are a species of their own, rather than all being people who have died. Though at least some of them are.
* [[Krazy Kat]] is besotten with Ignatz Mouse. [[Love Triangle|Officer Bull Pupp]] would really prefer less mouse in that..
* The next-to-ur example: Clarabelle Cow and Horace Horsecollar in Disney cartoons and comics. Early on, the two are romantic to the point of being engaged (comics, 1932). Later, they're back to being a dating couple, with Clarabelle occasionally seeing Goofy as well ? in one recent comic book story ("With Friends Like These," 2006), clearly doing so to make Horace jealous, though innocent Goofy misreads the situation as platonic and doesn't realize how his friend is using him.
** There are also many relationships between ducks and frex geese. Closer than most of the other examples on this page, but still different species.
Line 122 ⟶ 123:
** Cosmo frequently shows attraction to humans and, in one episode, an alien.
** In one episode, Foop (an anti-fairy) develops a crush on Vicky (a human).
* In ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy and& Mandy]]'', Nergal, a [[Humanoid Abomination]] from the centre of the Earth, who comes complete with electric tentacles, falls in love with and marries Billy's Aunt Sis. They later have a child together, Nergal Jr.
* Several dream sequences featured in ''[[Arthur]]'' that take place in the future has Arthur Read (an aardvark) marrying Francine Frensky (a monkey).
* Gumball (a cat) and Penny (a sentinent coconut with antlers) from ''[[The Amazing World of Gumball]]''.
Line 139 ⟶ 140:
** Also invoked in one episode, when Jake demands a romantic story, Finn orders a duck and a fox to kiss.
** LGBT example, Bubblegum and Marceline (vampire). Their feeling towards each other were hinted at in several episodes before "Come Along With Me" confirmed it.
* The ''[[He-Man and the Masters of the Universe]]'': episode "The Return of Granamyr" had a dragon and a human girl.
** The episode "The Return of Granamyr" had a dragon and a human girl, the dragon willing to become human (via a magical ritual) to be with her.
** And let's not forget that {{spoiler|Adam (and Adora)'s [[Hot Mom]] is a female astronaut from Earth that got stranded in Ethernia and then stayed since she fell in love with the humanoid Crown Prince akaRandor, Adam's dadfather.}}
* Creepie from ''[[Growing Up Creepie]]'' fell in love with Skipper because she believed (like his stage act at the circus) he was part human part spider. She looses most of her feelings for him when she discovers the truth.
* Draculaura the vampire and Clawd the werewolf of ''[[Monster High]]''.
Line 149 ⟶ 151:
'''Judy:''' Do I? <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Beat]]] Yes, yes I do.}}
* In ''[[I Am Weasel]]'' the title character is a [[Funny Animal]] weasel, and he tends to date human women a lot; this is one of many reasons why [[The Rival|I. R. Baboon]] is so jealous of him.
* A truly weird example happens in ''[[Amphibia (TV series)|Amphibia]]'', where Joe (a giant bird that Marcie [[Horse of a Different Color|uses as a flying mount]]) and Bessie (a giant snail used by the Planters as a beast of burden) seem to ''really'' like each other. Honestly, the two aren't even in the same Phylum!
* ''[[Star Trek: Lower Decks]]'':
** Ensign Mariner (human) tends to date outside her species often, and as of season 3 is going out with her former rival Ensign [[Green-Skinned Space Babe| Jennifer Sh'reyan, an Andorian.]]
** Lieutenant Shaxs (Bajoran) and Commander T'Ana (caitian); they try to use the Holodeck to keep their relationship secret, but the whole crew already seems to know, [[Fan Disservice| and ''do not want'' to know]] any details.
* ''[[Harley Quinn (TV series)|Harley Quinn]]'' had Nora (human) and [[Swamp Thing]] (formerly-human mutated [[Plant Person]]). Initially presented as a one-night fling, they are shown to still be dating in the [[Season Finale]].
