See [[Petting Zoo People]] and especially [[Funny Animal]] and [[Civilized Animal]] for animal characters who retain larger shares of animal features, on the [[Sliding Scale of Anthropomorphism]]. See [[Beast Folk]] for human characters who retain larger shares of animal features.

This Trope is so popular here, we need zoological classification categories:
=== More than one type ===
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 106 ⟶ 103:
* 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]]''. 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]].
Line 126 ⟶ 123:
** The Nantuko tribe in "Odyssey" and "Onslaught blocks" are basically sentient preying mantises.
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* 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]]s, with long feathers on their forearms.
* The DC Universe has the winged Thanagarians, exemplified by [[Hawkman]] and [[Justice League (animation)|Hawkgirl.]]
Line 137 ⟶ 134:
* There's a whole subgenre in ''[[Harry Potter]]'' fan art, that concentrates mainly around the Remus/Sirius pairing. Those fan artists depict both Remus and Sirius with dog/wolf ears, no matter the context.
== [[Film]] ==
* Barf the M'og from ''[[Spaceballs]]''. "I'm my own best friend!"
* ''[[Planet of the Apes]]'', depending on the character.
Line 143 ⟶ 140:
* Everyone in [[The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad|''Mr Toad's Wild Ride'']].
== [[Literature]] ==
* 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 157 ⟶ 154:
* 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 164 ⟶ 161:
* 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!"
== [[Newspaper Comics]] ==
<!-- The cast of ''Comicbook/
* The winged Hawkmen and hairy Lion Men in ''[[Flash Gordon (comic strip)|Flash Gordon]]''.
Line 184 ⟶ 181:
* In ''[[Shadowrun]]'', people possesed by insect spirits can [[Body Horror|end up looking like this]].
==
* [[Gender Flip|Rafiki]] in the theatrical version of ''[[The Lion King]]''.
* The animals in the theatrical version of ''[[The Little Mermaid]]''.
== [[Video Games]] ==
* ''[[Touhou]]'' has several examples of this, and plenty of other [[Petting Zoo People]], thanks to the nature of how many youkai are former animals turned into [[Hybrid Monster|part monster]], and [[Cute Monster Girl|mostly anthropromorphised girls]].
** 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 angry—it certainly doesn't help much that [[Cute Ghost Girl|Yuyuko]] is often depicted as wanting to ''eat'' her.<ref>But she probably would look at us weird when we eat steak.</ref>
Line 212 ⟶ 209:
** 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).▼
▲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 225 ⟶ 221:
** ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics Advance]]'' introduced the Viera, a race of bunny-women.
** ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics A2]]'' adds the Gria, a race of dragon girls with the appropriate horns, wings, and tail.
* ''[[Fire Emblem|Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance]]'' (and ''Radiant Dawn'')
** Tons of bird Laguz in Lessee... there's Tibarn, Naesala, Nealuchi, Reyson, Leanne, Rafiel, Ulki, Janaff, and Vika.
** Nailah and Volug from ''[[Fire Emblem]]: Radiant Dawn'' are canine.
Line 258 ⟶ 254:
** One [[Wild Mass Guessing|theory]] that's been suggested is that their parents were beastfolk of different animal types and produced mongrel offspring.
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* 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.
Line 306 ⟶ 302:
** 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 throughout most of the movie, Disney's [[Pinocchio (Disney film)|Pinocchio]] looks like a puppet Little Bit Beastly when he [[Baleful Polymorph|gains donkey ears and a donkey tail]] while visiting Pleasure Island. He loses the donkey ears and donkey tail when he turns into a real 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),
