Known in Japan as "[[wikipedia:Kemonomimi|kemonomimi]]" (roughly translating as "animal ears", but [[Gratuitous Japanese|not so easy to spell]]), these are the most dramatically [[Sliding Scale of Anthropomorphism|anthropomorphized]] characters, who appear virtually human, but feature the added characteristics of an animal's [[Unusual Ears|ears]] and tail.

Sometimes referred to as the "ten percent" variety of anthropomorphism, usually to differentiate fans of this type of character from [[Furry Fandom]]. See also [[Cute Monster Girl]] or [[Beast Man]]. Compare [[Half-Human Hybrid]] for an [[Interspecies Romance|actual hybrid]] between a human and another species.

This Trope is so popular here, we need zoological classification categories:
▲== Anime and Manga ==
=== More than one type ===
* The entire cast of ''Damekko Doubutsu''.
* Shirayuki Berii/Mew Berry of ''[[Tokyo Mew Mew|Tokyo Mew Mew a la Mode]]'' is part catgirl, part bunnygirl, and all [[Canon Sue]].
Line 36 ⟶ 33:
** Fujiwara Zakuro/Mew Zakuro in ''[[Tokyo Mew Mew]]''.
** Hwang Bu-ling/Mew Pudding of ''[[Tokyo Mew Mew]]'', a golden lion tamarin.
** Midorikawa Retasu/Mew Lettuce of ''[[Tokyo Mew Mew]]'' is a rare example of a porpoise-girl. Her cetecean features are limited to ribbonlike antennae coming out of her head, although she later turns into a mermaid. Like Ichigo (wildcat likened to domestic cats) and Zakuro (wolf given a few dog qualities), Retasu and her powers are ''mostly'' porpoise-related but sometimes reflect just plain fish, like how she can breathe underwater (which porpoises cannot).
* According to [[Studio Gainax]], Viral from ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' is "a shark with feline genetics. If you pull out his teeth they grow back." He looks mostly human, except for catlike eyes and paws and shark's teeth.
** {{spoiler|Boota}} in his human form in the Multi-Dimensional Labryinth is a [[Bishonen]] with whiskers. His [[Evil Counterpart]], {{spoiler|Guame}}, however, has the humanoid form of a [[Lizard Folk|Lizard Man]].
** Cytomander is a peacock.
** Adiane has a scorpion tail.
* Ryo-okhi from ''[[Tenchi Muyo!
* The characters of ''[[Strike Witches]]'' take on the ears and tails of various animals when they use their magic. Most of them are various cats or dogs.
* ''[[Utawarerumono]]'' has almost the entire cast of them.
Line 49 ⟶ 46:
** The Black Beauty Sisters are anglerfish girls. {{spoiler|In fact, they actually ''are'' anglerfish, transformed into kemonomimi.}}
** Lanhua/Ranfa is a butterfly woman. Alala may be a dragonfly, but it's more likely that she's a fairy.
* There are entire races of Little Bit Beastly people in ''[[Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?]]'', including Chienthropes (dog-people), Renarts (fox-people), wolf-people, and [[Catgirl|cat-people]].
=== Birds ===
* A minor character from the ''[[Urusei Yatsura]]'' anime and manga series is Kurama, an [[Ancient Astronauts]] version of a Tengu (bird-goblin). Apparently, her species is divided into two 'halves'; one of them are humanoid crows the size of goblins, the other are, well, see the trope name. Also, she's the [[Last of His Kind|last one of the second type]], and her duty (as she sees it) is to find a worthy guy to help her rebuild the population. Unfortunately for her, the only options in the series are [[Casanova Wannabe|Ataru Moroboshi]], [[Handsome Lech|Shuutaro]] [[Spoiled Brat|Mendo]], and [[Bifauxnen|Ryuunosuke]]. She's also technically a [[Half-Human Hybrid]]; one of her female ancestors (who was, herself, an example of this trope) married a famous samurai from Japan.
* The ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' manga reveals that {{spoiler|Setsuna}} is half-<s> tengu</s> Bird Clan, a variety of humanoid bird demon. This is implied in the last episode of the first anime (and downgraded to mere pactio transformation in the second), but never said outright in either anime. She sports an impressive set of white wings, which she can hide or shrink when not in use. Unfortunately, the Bird Clan considers white wings to be bad luck, and her half human lineage resulted in some self-depreciation.
** It's further revealed in the manga that she's an albino who dyes her hair and wears colored contacts to hide the fact, explaining the issues with her family. (Happens in real-world cultures.)
* The residents of Mt. Phoenix in ''[[
=== Foxes ===
* Meirin and Tamamonomae in ''[[Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito]]''. Some argue that these two are the same person, just placed in different worlds and times.
* Youko in ''[[Inukami!]]''.
Line 69 ⟶ 67:
* Tomoe from ''[[Kamisama Kiss]]''.
=== Wolves and Dogs ===
* Horo, a wolf spirit in ''[[Spice and Wolf]]''.
* Liru, a werewolf in ''[[Magical Pokaan]]''.
* Certain Familiars and Guardian Beasts from ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'', such as Alph and Zafila.
* The titular [[Half-Human Hybrid|half dog-demon]] of ''[[Inuyasha]]'' looks like a human with dog-ears and fangs. His brother Sesshomaru (dog-demon) and [[The Rival]] Koga and his clan (wolf-demons) are full demons, but they look pretty human except for the tail and pointy ears. It is implied that this is only their disguise form; at least Sesshomaru is able to convert into his true form, a giant demon dog
Several other examples appear throughout the series, like Shippo (fox-demon), Myoga (flea-demon), the bat-demon clan and Jinenji (half <s>ginormous bug-eyed horse thing</s> horse-demon).
* Kotaro Inugami in ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'', same as [[Inuyasha]]. Likes to call himself a [[Big Badass Wolf|wolf]].
* The Inukami in, well, ''[[Inukami!]]!''. Most of them hide their dog-like traits pretty well, though Tomohane's tail is quite clearly visible in human form.
Line 79:
* Nozomu from ''[[Kanokon]]''
* Elga, Luna and Rino, the dog-girls from ''[[Inumimi]]''.
* Dog hybrid chimera Dorochet from ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]''. Although the only canine trait we really get to see from him is an extreme sense of loyalty. That, and a fellow chimera jokes he lifts his leg to pee.
* ''[[Vision of Escaflowne]]'' not only includes the requisite [[Catgirl|Cat Girls]], but also wolf-men ''and'' a dog-man.
* Pretty much everyone from the Republic of Biscotti in ''[[Dog Days]]'' is this.
Line 86:
* [[Dog Days]]. The name says it all. With the exception of Shinku (a regular human), Yuki (a fox), and Brioche (a wolf), everyone on the Biscotti side has dog features.
=== Primates ===
* Nano-Nano Pudding from ''[[Galaxy Angel Rune]]'' and ''[[Galaxy Angel (video game)|Galaxy Angel II]]'', though an [[Artificial Human]] made of [[Nanomachines]], has what is clearly a monkey tail. She seems to be an [[Expy]] of Bu-ling.
* And let us not forget the [[Dragon Ball|Saiyan]].
* In ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]'', Rinku (that kid with the yo-yos) meets a half-monkey girl during the makai tournament.
* Darius, a human-monkey chimera from ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' (nicknamed ''Donkey Kong'' by Ed, so go figure).
=== Rabbits, Rodents, and other small mammals ===
* Unagi, the loli-mascot of Popotan, is probably the only literal weaselgirl (hondo stoat, actually) in fiction!
* Delmo from ''[[Cosplay Complex]]'', down to her size. She has [[Cute Little Fangs|fangs]], though.
Line 99:
* Vert from ''[[Dog Days]]'' seems to be the only rabbit.
=== Bovines and Horses ===
* ''Milk Party''
* All female cast members of ''[[Uma Musume Pretty Derby]]'' are "horse-girls", human females with horse's ears and tails. The plot involves a [[Fictional Sport]] where such characters are participants. Yeah, it's [[Fetish Fuel| that kind of show]], but at least they aren't ridden by jockeys with whips...
=== Reptiles
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"|Bido and Martel]] from ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]''. The first is a human and lizard hybrid chimera that looks like an ugly, weird little guy with a tail that can climb up walls. The second is a human and snake chimera, and that mostly translates as an extremely flexible hot girl.
* "Tamaki" ''from [[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' is a dragonfolk who is capable of transforming into an actual dragon. In humanoid form, she has thick horns and a thick tail, which according to [[Word of God]] means she [[Going Commando|can't wear panties]].
* Mink from ''[[Dragon Half]]'' has horns, a tail, and breaths fire.
===
* [[Breakout Character]] Tsuyu Asui from ''[[My Hero Academia]]'' has the Frog Quirk, giving her frog-like features and similar powers, which are [[Heart Is an Awesome Power| far more useful than they seem]]. Ironically, she's close friends with a girl with a Snake Quirk.
=== Sea Creatures ===
* Hoshigaki Kisame from ''[[Naruto]]'' is a sharkman. Suigetsu and [[Shrinking Violet|Chojuro]] have elements of sharks as well. Fuguki, Samehada's owner before Kisame, is a puffer fish man. Though they and the other members (or aspiring members) of the 7 Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist might file their teeth intentionally, it seems they're not monsters but just weird looking people.
=== Insects & Arachnids ===
* The Bugrom of ''[[El Hazard]]''. Oddly enough, while all the Bugrom are just giant insects, Queen Diva is entirely [[Cute Monster Girl|humanoid]] with a few insectoid characteristics.
==
* The Shi'ar, in ''[[X-Men]]'' comics, are supposed to be descended from birds. The only real sign of this is that [[Human Aliens|they have feathers instead of hair]] and (sometimes) on their forearms. Although there are some "throwbacks" who are [[Winged Humanoid
* ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' has the Aven race.▼
* The DC Universe has the winged Thanagarians, exemplified by [[Hawkman]] and [[Justice League (animation)|Hawkgirl.]]▼
** The ''kitsune-bito'' a race of [[Samurai]] and mystics, though they only look [http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?&id=76652 vaguely foxlike].▼
** Another example: The ''[http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?&id=75403 orochi-bito]'' race are ''four-armed'' snake-people with [[Non-Mammal Mammaries]]. It's [[Justified Trope|justified]] in that they're of supernatural origin.▼
** The Nantuko tribe in "Odyssey" and "Onslaught blocks" are basically sentient preying mantises.▼
▲* The Shi'ar, in ''[[X-Men]]'' comics, are supposed to be descended from birds. The only real sign of this is that [[Human Aliens|they have feathers instead of hair]] and (sometimes) on their forearms. Although there are some "throwbacks" who are [[Winged Humanoid|Winged Humanoids]], with long feathers on their forearms.
▲* The DC Universe has the winged Thanagarians, exemplified by [[Hawkman]] and [[Justice League|Hawkgirl.]]
* ''Kingdom'' is about groups of dogs, genetically engineered to have a humanoid shape, fighting [[Big Creepy-Crawlies]]. With the exception of Gene the Hackman, all the males are quite clearly dog-men; the females, on the other hand, just look like well-built human women with slight caninesque features.
* [[Marvel Comics]]' [[Squirrel Girl]] is exactly what she sounds like, her mutation giving her at very least, a squirrel's tail, plus [[Depending on the Artist| occasionally]] squirrel ears and/or teeth. And she's also a [[Killer Rabbit]] par excellence.
* Hepzibah of the Starjammers. She was originally portrayed with definite [
* [[Beta Ray Bill]] (an equine-headed alien) from ''[[The Mighty Thor]]''. It is worth noting that his [[In Name Only]] appearance in the 90's Silver Surfer cartoon had him and his people looking even more horse-like, whereas his species in the comics have no horse features and are instead somewhat human, but with no external noses or ears. Bill himself is genetically engineered to be a fearsome guardian for his people.
* ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweet_Tooth_(Vertigo) Sweet Tooth]'' is a [[Vertigo Comics]] title that takes place in an [[After the End]] setting where a plague has wiped out much of humanity; all human children born after the plague are like this. The protagonist is Gus, who has deer-like features.

* Barf the M'og from ''[[Spaceballs]]''. "I'm my own best friend!"

* The [[Winged Humanoid|Flock]] from the ''[[Maximum Ride]]'' books.
* [[Kitsune]] make an appearance in [[Mercedes Lackey]]'s ''SERRAted Edge'' series. [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|They help build magical racecars.]]
Line 150 ⟶ 149:
* The kemos of the web-novel ''[[Domina]]'' vary on the scale, with some being full [[Petting Zoo People|anthros]]. Not to mention kemo is probably short for kemonomimi.
== [[Live
* Believe it or not, ''[[The Backyardigans]]'' (made of an all-[[Funny Animal]] cast) had Uniqua as a kemonomimi-ish werewolf on a Halloween special, which only compounded the controversy over her species.
* Wolf from from the ABC mini series ''[[Tenth Kingdom]]'' falls under this. While he attempts to hide his traits to blend in, he is shown to have a tail, fangs, claws, and yellow eyes. He also displays canine behaviors when he feels any emotion very strongly.
Line 157 ⟶ 156:
* The Groosalugg in ''[[Angel]]'' is an inversion. He hails from a demonic-looking people but his ancestors crossed with "cows" which is their term for their human slaves - so he looks basically human, but to ''him'' he looks bestial, and he is deeply ashamed of having "cow blood". Cordelia, smitten with him, happily squees that it doesn't matter: "Hey, I'm ''all'' cow!"

* ''Nezumi-bito'', rat-people, show up in various Japanese-themed fantasy settings, including ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'''s "Oriental Adventures" campaign setting, ''[[Magic: The Gathering|Kamigawa]]'', and ''[[Legend of the Five Rings]]''. They're usually nasty scavengers, except in the latter, where they're the first line of defense against the [[Big Bad]] (but still scavengers).▼

** The snakelike Yuan-ti are just downright demonic. They are (in some versions) the descendants of humans who crossed their genes with those of snakes, and some of them still look almost exactly like humans and infiltrate human society accordingly.

* In the old RPG ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness]]'' (where all [[Player Characters]] were mutants) a character had three tiers of "Looks", None, Partial, and Full. The Turtles themselves are an example of mutants with None, fitting the [[Petting Zoo People]] Trope better. A mutant with Full Looks can easily pass as human - not ''normal'' human, but still pass as human. Thus they would fit this Trope.

** Mystia Lorelei, also from the ''Touhou'' games, is actually a sparrow demon, and consequently sports a pair of stubby little wings. She's also associated with fried chicken, though mentioning such around her is a good way to make her frightened or
** Aya Shameimaru, from the ''[[Touhou]]'' games, is supposedly a full-fledged crow tengu. Although the official art from the games never depicts her with wings, many fan depictions, and even officially recognized [[Doujinshi]], show her with a pair of black crow wings.

** Utsuho Reiuji, a hell raven with two gigantic black wings on her back. Since they're covered up by her even ''more'' gigantic cape, however, fans mistakenly believed the white of the cape to be part of the wings when she first appeared.

** And then there's Wriggle Nightbug from ''[[Touhou|Touhou: Imperishable Night]]'', who is supposedly a (very tomboyish) firefly-girl. She doesn't glow in the dark, though...
** There's also Yamame Kurodani, who is a [[Giant Spider|spider]] [[Youkai]]. Her outfit reflects her spider-ness, with her buttons representing spider eyes, and her poofy skirt with a yellow ribbon wound about it being her 'abdomen'. She was banished for her "evil" powers of spreading disease, however, [[Dark Is Not Evil|she is popular among the other outcasts because she is actually a very friendly person]].
Line 199 ⟶ 208:
** Suwako Moriya, Goddess and frog-girl can be considered a river creature, as well. Her hat has her frog-like eyes upon it. Because her animalistic feature is presumably removable, some fans have made a joke that her hat really is a separate, brain-eating entity with a will of its own. Whether she actually has any inherent frog traits or simply assumed them as part of the identity she presents to worshippers (like the snake motif her fellow goddess Kanako Yasaka adopted after beating Suwako in a fight) is unclear.
** Kyouko Kasodani from ''[[Touhou|Ten Desires]]'' is a ''[http://www.safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=602339 Yamabiko]'', some kind of Youkai who is the cause and reason of echos. What kind of animal it's supposed to be is [[Cartoon Creature|another matter]].
* ''[[Breath of Fire]]'' has them in ''every'' game of the franchise.
** The entire Wydian/Windian tribe from the ''[[Breath of Fire]]'' series, which sport wings in the first, second, and fourth games (they're strangely absent in the third game though). It is said they have lost them, due to one of their ancestors breeding with a member of the dragon clan. Even though it clearly would take [[You Fail Biology Forever|a hell of a lot more]] than just ''one'' of them breeding with a non-Windian for that to happen.
** In ''Breath Of Fire IV'', there's a bit of Lineage Decay as well (it's implied the Wyndians could once do extended powered flight). Then again, in ''IV'' the Wyndians (and every other race on the planet) were specifically adopted by Endless and mutated based on the aspect of the god in question.
** ''Breath Of Fire IV'' has an entire sub-race of the Grassrunner clan (which also includes wolf/dog people) as kitsune. Ursula and [[Karma Houdini|Yuna]] are the only two you run into to a great extent.
** Momo from ''Breath Of Fire III''. Her ears resemble a rabbit, but according to [[Word of God|Capcom]], she's a small part Grassrunner Clan (the same clan as Bow from ''Breath of Fire 2'', in which he's an anthropomorphic dog).
** Scias from ''Breath Of Fire IV'' is also part of this. The Grassrunner clan is best known for their healing abilities (Bow is arguably the best healer in the second game, and Momo and Scias are both good auxiliary healers. In fact, most players of ''Breath of Fire III'' use Momo as their healer, despite the fact that main character Ryu has far better healing magics, usually because they prefer to save his AP for his dragon transformations
*** Per [[Word of God|Capcom]], Scias is actually from the same clan Ursula is from (no matter that Ursula is a Fox Person; perhaps it's a sub-race, or the result of a lot of intermarriage with humans).
** One of the few examples from ''Dragon Quarter'' is Cupid (a dog-person).
** ''[[Breath of Fire]]'' has monkeys, too. Most notable in ''II'' with the Highlander Clan, and per [[Word of God|Capcom]] also in ''IV''.
Line 215 ⟶ 225:
** The Genomes from ''[[Final Fantasy IX]]'' have monkey tails.

** Nailah and Volug from ''[[Fire Emblem]]: Radiant Dawn'' are canine.
Line 227 ⟶ 237:
* Caster, from ''[[Fate/stay night|Fate/Extra]]'', due to her being a [[Kitsune]].
* Ahri the Nine-Tailed Fox, from ''[[League of Legends]]'', is a Kumiho (a Korean varient of the concept).
* Rufus, also from ''[[Jeanne D
* Princess Fuse from ''[[Ōkami|Okami]]'' sports a pair of black dog ears, likely due to her connection with the Satome Canine Warriors.
* Konoha of ''[[Arcana Heart]]'' is a dog-girl [[Ninja]]. Akane and Nazuna Inukawa are also dog-girls.
* Lunar from ''[[Mischief Makers]]'' is a wolf man. And he is craaaaaaaazy.
* [[Our Werewolves Are Different|Fenrich]] from ''[[Disgaea 4:
* Tarus from ''[[Mischief Makers]]'' is based on a gorilla, although the resemblance is subtler than it is for the other Beastector members.
* The Pooka from ''[[Odin Sphere]]'', who get that way due to being cursed.
Line 238 ⟶ 248:
* Q-Bee in ''Vampire Saviour'' (the third entry in the ''[[Darkstalkers]]'' franchise) is a bee-woman.
* Bunny of ''[[Bunny Must Die]]'' happened to be your everyday [[Playboy Bunny|bunny girl]] until she happened just a bit too close to a catular explosion, which gave her a pair of cat ears. Yes, she's both bunny and cat, [[Berserk Button|much to her chagrin]]. Cat deaths of any kind in that world have a similar effect on their killers, but it doesn't work on those already affected.

** A brief summary of all the [[Petting Zoo People]] in ''[[
* The [[Star Ocean]] games are filled with animalistic humanoids of the "alternate evolutionary path" school. These tend to vary from [[Petting Zoo People]] (a few background NPCs, including frog and fish people) right up through this trope (menodixes like [[Star Ocean 3|Roger S. Huxley]] are raccoon-people, and [[Winged Humanoid|featherfolk]] and [[Catgirl|felinefolk]] have their own tropes). These will generally all be expounded upon at length by the game's [[Encyclopedia Exposita|dictionary]].
* The draenei in ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' have a few vaguely goat/antelope-like traits; their feet are cloven hooves, and the females (and ''[[Bizarre Sexual Dimorphism|some]]'' of the males) have horns. However, although they have tails, those look (if anything) vaguely reptilian; and they also have a few more outright alien traits such as blue skin, catfish-whisker-like facial tendrils, and—on the males, anyway—Klingon foreheads.
* Sveta from ''[[Golden Sun: Dark Dawn]]''. Most beastfolk can be identified immediately as cats, dogs, pigs, squirrels, wolves, etc., but Sveta is just... furry. She's actually [[Cute Monster Girl|pretty human-looking]] compared to other beastfolk. Tyrell calls her a "kitty-dog" at first sight, and her [[Our Werewolves Are Different|beast form]] is generally wolfish. It's possible that she's meant to be at least part deer, though, since she's nicknamed "The White Deer".
** Her brother {{spoiler|King Volechek Czamaral}} also has unidentifiable animal features, albeit with more obvious fur and a pronounced muzzle.
** One [[Wild Mass Guessing|theory]] that's been suggested is that their parents were beastfolk of different animal types and produced mongrel offspring.

* Kit from ''[[Fey Winds]]'' was once a fox and turned human by a crazy witch.
* Marena from ''[[Keychain of Creation]]'' has a fox ears & tail. This isn't due to her being of a different race from humans, however, but is what is referred to in the world of [[Exalted]] as a Tell, due to her being a Lunar Exalted with an fox Spirit Form.

* [[Betty Boop]], believe it or not, was originally created as an anthropomorphic French poodle.
* ''[[Road Rovers]]'' is about a team of dogs [[Multinational Team|from several corners of the globe]] transformed into [[Half Human Hybrids]]. [[They Fight Crime]]. [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]?
* The crew of the Primate Avengers in ''[[Captain Simian & the Space Monkeys|Captain Simian and The Space Monkeys]]'', as well as Rhesus-2 in part.
* ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'' - Beast Boy deserves a mention here, between his [[Unusual Ears]] and [[Cute Little Fangs]]
** It should be noted he's a human though. In [[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|the comics]] he gained his powers from an accident, when his father tried to save his life using a machine not tested on humans. In the comics he initially lacked any abnormal features besides being green, but [[Canon Immigrant|he eventually was given animal-like features]] after the cartoon became popular.
* Even though he is a puppet in the shape of a normal boy
* Several bad guys introduced in the first season of ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door]]'' had animal-like features. Most notably, Mr. Wink and Mr. Fibb (the only examples who became regulars), Wink having buffalo horns and Fibb having walrus tusks and flipper-like hands. there were also many one shot villains or those who had minor roles, like the Crazy Cat Lady (had cat-like and mannerisms), and Mrs. Goodwall (ox's tail and hairstyle resembling horns), [[Word of God]] claims this trend was going to be addressed in a later story, [[Aborted Arc| which was later scrapped.]]
* ''[[My Little Pony: Equestria Girls]]'' puts the cast of ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]]'' up several tiers on the [[Sliding Scale of Anthropomorphism]], so much that they look almost human. ''Almost'' that is, their odd skin colors and a few small traces of their original selves are still apparent.
* Bird-Person from ''[[Rick and Morty]]'', self-explanitory. Also has a daughter (Bird-Daughter) who is the same.
