{{examples|Examples}}
 
=== Arachnids ===
Line 129:
* Honey B. from ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'' sports a pretty impressive pair, and a distinctly waspish waist. In fact, this applies pretty much any time a bee- or wasp-like character in a funny animals situation isn't a gigantic engine of stinging death instead.
** An episode of ''Rescue Rangers'' has another such example.
* In both ''[[Bug! (Video Game)|Bug]]'' and ''Bug Too'' there are examples. In the first title there's Bug's girlfriend, while the sequel sports some multiarmed amazons with large breasts in some levels.
 
 
Line 142:
== Western Animation ==
* The Queen of the bee like aliens in [[He-Man and The Masters of The Universe (Animation)|He-Man and The Masters of The Universe]].
* Atta and Gypsy Moth from ''[[A BugsBug's Life (Animation)|A Bugs Life]]''.
 
=== Reptiles and Amphibians ===
Line 171:
** Since she was genetically engineered by humans, and was not a product of evolution, she can have pretty much whatever her designers wanted her to have.
* Jack L. Chalker's ''[[Well World]]'' series included a naga-like species with six arms [[Author Appeal|and six breasts]], though these were later [[Retcon|retconned]] into glands for storing water.
* There was another, very cheeky subversion in "The Race", from Turtledove's ''[[WorldWorldwar War(Literature)]]'' series, where most of the characters are [[Humanoid Animals]]. The majority of the main cast were non-mammals. The hero was a reptile who [[Humans Through Alien Eyes|noticeably failed to see the appeal of breasts]] -- and he was the only male character who'd look the female mammal characters in the ''eyes'' while talking (think about that one). What's more, a female character was visibly [[Squick|Squicked]] when she had to have the function of mammary glands explained to her. [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|They also found the concept of cheese to be a little weird]].
* Averted in ''Azure Bonds'', where the heroine isn't sure of the sex of her saurial companion, due to her realization that a reptile wouldn't have breasts or wide hips for birthing.
* Similarly averted in ''[[Discworld (Literature)/Guards Guards|Guards Guards]]'', {{spoiler|where even Sybil Ramkin, an expert on swamp dragons, doesn't realize that the draconic "King" of Ankh-Morpork is female until the end}}.
Line 195:
 
== Tabletop Games ==
* The Yuan-Ti in ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'' are snake people. It may have something to do with being able to [[Half -Human Hybrid|inter-breed with humans]] (indeed, some supplements explain that "the yuan-ti are descended from evil human cultists who mixed their bloodlines with those of serpents," which is itself impossible); but it was probably due to... "[http://www.llbbl.com/data/RPG-motivational/target66.html artistic license]".
** In some editions, this is explicitly the result of magical assistance from a demon lord worshiped by the cultists, making it a case of [[A Wizard Did It|A God Did It]].
* ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'' has this in 4E with the Drakkoths, which are an unusual mixture of crested lizard upper torso and the body of some sort of spiny-tailed drake in the style of a centaur. The females, despite the obvious reptilian nature of these creatures, have breasts.
Line 220:
* The Tarka in ''[[Sword of the Stars]]'' appear to be reptilian. Their females lay eggs but have clearly-defined breasts. However, the [[All in The Manual|manual]] states that their internal structure is much more similar to primates than reptiles, making this a subversion.
* In the ''[[Pardus]]'' browser MMO the Keldon species has breasts. Why? as the original maker of the images said, "Keldon women do have boobs. Reason: because I like them and I did the original race design, and Baldur [Game Developer] has agreed upon it."
* The [[Final Boss]] of ''[[Drakensang]]'', {{spoiler|Malgorra}} goes in [[One -Winged Angel]] and turns into a giant, three headed serpent. However, she still retains her nipless breasts at the base of her central head.
* As part of her ''[[Skylanders Spyros Adventure]]'' redesign, the plates on [[The Legend of Spyro Trilogy|Cynder's]] underside were modified so that her upper chest has two plates side by side and are noticeably round, while the rest of the plates are flat.
 
Line 227:
* Averted '''repeatedly''' with Hortense, a lizard in the [[Talking Animal]] webcomic ''[[Nip and Tuck]]''. The only lizard in Malarkey County, she's constantly wearing bizarre wigs to try and "fit in". One example is when she throws a [http://www.rhjunior.com/NT/00491.html "slumber party"] and one of the girls brings her mom's stock of lingerie -- which turns out to be a [http://www.rhjunior.com/NT/00496.html "complete bust"].
* Avoided in ''[[Last Resort]]'', where the obviously female Cypress (being otherwise surrounded by her father and male cousins) has no breasts to speak of, and not much in the way of hips either. In fact, the comic even correctly portrays her as the largest of the four (typically female reptiles are bigger than males). However, she does seem to go for frilly / poofy clothing that reasonably obscures this fact most of the time, and we're not even going to go into how everyone in her species has a head of hair.
** Veled, on the other hand, has possibly the [[Large and In Charge|largest rack of the cast]]. Of course, hers are at least justified by the fact she's [[Half -Human Hybrid|not all reptile]].
* Subverted in ''[http://wereworld.comicgenesis.com/ Wereworld]'', a webcomic set on a planet where "Lycanthropes" can shift between animal, human, and hybrid form. All female Lycanthropes have breasts. However, a special tribe of dragon Lycanthropes exists, and the females of the species have no breasts, no hair, no nipples, nor anything that indicates their gender when compared to the males of the species (they have mohawk-like ridges and horns that look like hair, but no actual hair -- though they do have navels, strangely enough). This is spotlighted when Blaze, a female dragon lycanthrope, [http://rann.heartcatcher.net/wereworld/20041219.html is chosen to make contact with the main character as a messenger of the dragon lycanthrope council]. It is quite a humorous scene when Aris, another female dragon lycanthrope, tries to explain to Blaze that she looks like a male to other species, regardless of how sexy she looks to dragon males. This is fixed with the dragon lycanthropes' unique ability to transform to a semi-human form. However, Blaze misunderstands Aris's explanation of "the importance of having breasts among the other races", and gives herself far too large breasts. This led to Blaze's humorous line "If you're gonna do something, do it grand". So far, no other non-mammal lycanthropes have shown up to compare the dragon tribe to.
* The female Nagasta (sort of [[Buffy -Speak|merfolky-lizardy people]]) in ''[[Dominic Deegan]]'' have prominent breasts. When one reader asked [[Word of God|Mookie]] why, his answer was "[[Author Appeal|I like boobs]]."
* Averted in ''[[Not Quite Daily Comic]]''. Lulu the Turtle Girl looks like a (very creepy) child even though she's in her seventies.
* Averted in ''[[Ozy and Millie (Webcomic)|Ozy and Millie]]''. Isolde, a female dragon, has a perfectly flat chest. She still wears a bikini top when at the pool, however.
Line 390:
* Pretty much subverted in ''[[Digger (Webcomic)|Digger]]'', neither the title character nor the female hyenas show any real signs of mammaries.
* ''[[Two Kinds]]'' uses this rather extensively.
* Averted in ''[http://www.roomies-comic.com/cgi-bin/roomies.cgi Roomies]'' by Corey, a female kangaroo who commonly goes around in [[Half -Dressed Cartoon Animal|nothing more than a vest]], and pretends to be a guy (helps that most of the other characters keep forgetting that pouches are a [[Animal Gender Bender|female thing]]).
** As shown [http://www.roomies-comic.com/cgi-bin/roomies.cgi?date=20060224 here] when she gets a temporary job as a "booth bunny"
 
Line 478:
== Films -- Animation ==
* A botched spell from Schmendrick in the film ''[[The Last Unicorn (Film)|The Last Unicorn]]'' causes a nearby tree to sprout a female face and large breasts, with which it subjected the bumbling wizard to [[Marshmallow Hell]]. Possibly justified, as perennially-dateless Schmendrick's subconscious might've affected the magic's effects, and the tree ''did'' have a couple of suggestively-placed large boles on its trunk.
* Thankfully averted in ''[[Nine9 (Animation)|Nine]]'', in which 7, the only distinctly female ragdoll ([[The Smurfette Principle]]), is just as nondescript and featureless as her male counterparts. The only things that really set her apart from the others are her voice, and a couple of very subtle details such as her smaller hands.
 
 
Line 488:
 
== Live-Action TV ==
* Zhaan from ''[[Farscape (TV)|Farscape]]'' is a [[Plant Person]]. Who gets orgasms from solar flares, incidentally. She does avert [[Non -Mammalian Hair]], though.
** Zhaan may be atypical, however. Some members of her species have displayed something that certainly looks like hair (and is bright orange, to boot).
** The show also flips this one on its head in one episode. "Female of the species" anyone?
Line 515:
** Then again, they are ''demons'', like Q-Bee listed above.
* Really, just about any [[Robot Girl]] that wasn't made for Sexbot purposes. Some of the others might be justified simply by aesthetics, but sometimes there is no excuse for the robots to be [[Ridiculously Human Robots]], let alone [[Robot Girl|Robot Girls]] with huge knockers.
** Aigis from ''[[Persona 3]]'' is slightly justified in that her creators deliberately designed her that way so she could be given a fully-realized, [[What Measure Is a Non -Human?|human-like persona]] (which would allow her to manifest a [[Summon Magic|Persona]].) A sexual identity ([[Fridge Logic|even if she lacks the necessary equipment]]) is part of such self-identification within human society and for human interaction.
* Somewhat averted in ''[[Portal (Video Game)|Portal]]'' as even though GLaDOS has a feminine "body", there aren't actually any breasts to speak of, unless you count the Curiosity Core.
** Most would consider this a complete aversion, since [[G La DOS]] is only remotely human. (Her overall shape was inspired by [http://www.mlahanas.de/Greeks/Mythology/RM/VenusBoticelli.jpg "The Birth of Venus"] flipped upside-down; though some fans find her lack of arms and awkward posture to be more reminiscent of [[Fridge Horror|a woman in bondage gear, or a straitjacket,]] uncanny resemblance seen [http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/9/2008/04/medium_glados_bondage.jpg here].) In [[Portal 2 (Video Game)|Portal 2]] she winds and lulls back and forth in a rather serpentine motion, (frigteningly fitting with the straightjacket theme), and in no incarnation does she have anything substantially resembling breasts.
Line 524:
== Western Animation ==
* In the third [[Bosko the Talk Ink Kid]] cartoon "Congo Jazz", a palmtree promptly pulls it's leaves down like a skirt, does a booty bump, and then proceeds to [[Gainaxing|gyrate it's coconuts]].
* Big Brain, the only explicitly [[Fem BotFemBot]] built by Grizzle in ''[[Care Bears|Adventures In Care-a-Lot]]'', has a slight curve to her bust and [[Hartman Hips]].
* In the [[Christmas Special]] ''Christopher the Christmas Tree'', a number of anthropomorphic pine trees are talking about why they'll be the first to be picked. One has snow strategically placed to look like a boobs, and she even comments that she's "the fullest" while [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|making her snowboobs jiggle]]. You can see this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FczGc5NetTI starting at 1:25].
* Many fem-bots on ''[[Futurama]]'' fall into this category.
Line 604:
== Western Animation ==
* In the [[What If]] episode of ''[[Ben 10 (Animation)|Ben 10]]'', "Gwen 10", some of Gwen's female versions of the aliens have busts. Including the one that's essentially made of ''gemstone''. This is even weirder, given than Gwen herself had yet to hit puberty. (Of course, the aliens Ben transforms into also seem way past puberty.)
** Let's not forget [[Green -Skinned Space Babe]] Xylene, who sports an impressive set. She mentions that her species hatches from eggs. OK, maybe she's a Monotreme and would nurse them afterwards. Oh, but then she says that parents of her species ''do not take care of their offspring at all''. Really?
** Myaxx is pretty well endowed, seeing as her species seems to be extremely [[Cthulhumanoid|Squidlike.]]
* Parodied to hell and back in ''[[South Park (Animation)|South Park]]'''s ''[[Heavy Metal (Animation)|Heavy Metal]]'' tribute, appropriately entitled ''Major Boobage''. '''Everything''' in the various dream sequences sports an impressive set of breasts, complete with nipples. There are ostrich-things with breasts, planets that are basically disembodied breasts, and a trio of trolls with huge breasts growing out of their ''shoulders''. The kicker? There is exactly '''one''' human woman -- "and you [[Scenery Censor|never really get a good look at her boobs]]". ''Only '''her''' boobs'' [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|were censored.]]
Line 652:
** Given that Belkar already stabbed him to death, he might as well go all the way. Though [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0177.html an earlier strip] established that Belkar has no knowledge of reptilian anatomy.
** [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0738.html A later strip] has a lizardfolk note the [[Most Writers Are Human|mammalian-minded]] wardrobe of the gladiators' prison.

* ''[[Dreamwalk Journal]]'': as noted above in the Insects section, it's about anthropomorphic insects and arachnids. All females have big boobs, all males have big external genitalia, and everybody gets to have sex with everybody else, including two visiting human women.
