Line 28:
* The Battle Spiders from the ''[[Spider Riders]]'' anime of course.
* Princess Nausicaa's "fox squirrel" Teto in ''[[Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind]]''* The transfigured "mouse" and "humming bird" from ''[[Spirited Away]]''
* Most [[Magical Girl
** Mepple and Mipple from ''[[Futari wa Pretty Cure]]''.
*** ALL the non-human characters in the [[Pretty Cure]] series.
Line 111:
* ''[[Star Wars]]'': Han Solo and Chewbacca. R2-D2 and C-3PO also work for the group as a whole.
* ''[[A Boy and His Dog]]'' features the titular boy and dog duo, which shares a telepathic bond.
* ''[[Beast Master]]''. Seeing as his best friends are a tiger, a hawk, two ferrets and so forth,
* Stanley Ipkiss's dog Milo in ''[[The Mask (film)|The Mask]]''.

* Blackwing the raven, Vaarsuvius' familiar in ''[[Order of the Stick]]''. Well, sort

** Now there's also Toni {{spoiler|the werewolf}} and Veser {{spoiler|the half-selkie}}.
Line 318:
** Notable aversions: Both ''[[Atlantis: The Lost Empire|Atlantis the Lost Empire]]'' and ''[[The Incredibles]]'', which have the least nonhuman characters (zero in all) of any animated Disney film.
* Wow nobody wants to mention "[[Hanna-Barbera]]"'s LOVE of this trope? You couldn't HAVE a Hanna Barbera cartoon at one point in time WITHOUT a wacky/annoying non-human sidekick. Mr. Cool (Fonz and the Happy Days Gang), Godzooky (Godzilla animated series), Doing (Mork & Mindy cartoon), Sgt. Squealy (Laverne & Shirley in the Army), Dribbles (Harlem Globetrotters) and so on and so forth.
* Villains get these

* Radarr, the blue-monkey creature from ''[[Storm Hawks]]'', plays the role of co-pilot and constant companion to Aerrow, the leader of the heroic Storm Hawks.
Line 343:
** Also, one episode in the webseries, she had replaced grudge with another in-human sidekick, named Rubella.
* [[Invader Zim]] (who isn't human, but if [[Doctor Who|the Doctor]] can be listed here, he can too) has his [[Robot Buddy]] GIR, and gains another - just before the series was cancelled - in Minimoose.
* All three of Seth MacFarlane's animated series (''Family Guy, American Dad,'' and ''The Cleveland Show'') feature a
* Blue Falcon had Dynomutt.
* [[Futurama]]: Fry has Bender; Zapp has Kif; Farnsworth has Zoidberg.
