* The Animagi in ''[[Harry Potter]]'', particularly McGonagall and Rita Skeeter. Their animal forms both have their "glasses", in that the characters "wear" glasses-like patterns on their animal faces. This is at first hinted to be deliberate, as Animagi have to register and have distinguishing marks, but then Rita's an unregistered Animagus and she has such markings, so it's apparently intrinsic to the process. |

* In ''Lirael'' from the ''[[Old Kingdom]]'' series, when Lireal is exploring the Great Library, she uses various shapeshifting spells to turn into animals. For one of her later explorations, she's using an otter-form and notices that the fur seems darker than normal. As otters are colourblind, its not until her friend, the Disreputable Dog (exactly what it says on the tin), tells her that "otters shouldn't have red bellies" that Lirael realises that she has subconsciously changed the fur to match her promotion within the Libraray to a red waistcoat. |

* In the German novel ''Krabat'' the Master, the Evil Sorcerer can turn into different Animals, but they will always have only a left (I think) eye. The same counts for his students, whose Animal forms always mirror their appearances as humans. |
