Line 21:
* Bokomon and Neemon from ''[[Digimon Frontier]]''
* Most, if not all [[Mons]] shows can be seen as an inversion of this, because, let's face it, it's the ''mons'' who do the dirty work and get the stuffing beaten out of them when things get hairy, leaving [[The Kid with the Remote Control]] as the sidekick.
* To some degree, Shippo, Kirara/Kilala, Jaken, and Myoga in ''[[Inuyasha]]''.
* Jiji the black cat in the Miyazaki film ''[[Kiki's Delivery Service]]''

* Most [[Magical Girl]]s have one or more of these, who often overlap with [[Weasel Mascot]], [[Mentor Mascot]], and/or [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]]:
** Mepple and Mipple from ''[[Futari wa Pretty Cure]]''.
*** ALL the non-human characters in the [[Pretty Cure]] series.
** The talking cats Luna and Artemis from ''[[Sailor Moon]]''.

* Mylene's highly-emotive Furball Guvava in [[Macross 7]]
* Ryoko and her cat/rabbit thing Ryo-Ohki from ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]]''

* Jonathan the baby seal from ''[[Kaleido Star]]''.
* Lili the Fata (music fairy) in ''La Corda d'Oro''.
* Mokona the... thing... in several [[CLAMP]] works, most notably ''[[Magic Knight Rayearth]]'', ''[[Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle]]'', and ''[[xxxHolic]]''.

* Simon has Boota, his loyal little pig-mole, in ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]''.
** While Lordgenome has [[Four-Star Badass|General]] [[Ensemble Darkhorse|Guame]] [[The Dragon|The Immovable]]; who first filled almost exactly the same role and later evolved (literally) into a more direct sidekick role.
Line 69 ⟶ 66:
* ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]: Stardust Crusaders'' has among the protagonists Iggy, a pug who commands the sand-based Stand The Fool. The opposition has Pet Shop, a hawk who commands the ice-based Osiris. The two even duke it out one on one eventually. The fifth storyline (''Diamond Is Unbreakable'') has Stray Cat, a sentient cat-turned-flower with the power to launch bubbles, and the sixth (''Stone Ocean'') has Foo Fighters, ''a mass of plankton'' inhabiting dead ex-criminal Etro's body.
* ''[[Speed Racer]]'': Chim-Chim, Spritle's chimpanzee pal.
