Line 9:
Lesser versions of this trope include non-mammals with eyelashes (another signifier that the wearer is female) or eyebrows to make human-like facial expressions. This trope is tricky to extend to aliens whose species [[Bizarre Alien Biology|probably can't be defined on our terms]].
 
Compare [[Non -Mammal Mammaries]], when something ''else'' is used to humanize female non-mammal characters.

== Anime and Manga ==
Line 54:
* Some non-mammalian ''[[Pokémon]]'' have hair on their bodies, such as Kriketune, a cricket with a mustache; and Jellicent, a jellyfish also with a mustache.
** Though with the former the mustache may actually be a pair of feelers/pincers/antennae while the latter's mustache might be made of, well, jelly.
* Q-Bee from the ''[[Darkstalkers (Video Game)|Darkstalkers]]'' series has what ''appears'' to be hair, although it (along with her cute mammalian face and [[Non -Mammal Mammaries|other attributes]]) is a lure designed to trap foolish mammalian males.
 
 
Line 85:
* Lola (a bird) from ''[[Cat Dog]]''.
* Some of the animals in which both Merlin and Mim turn into during their [[Wizard Duel]] from ''[[The Sword in The Stone (Disney)|The Sword in The Stone]]'' are for some reason either birds or reptiles that [[Morphic Resonance|retain their respective hairstyles]].
** Similarly, toward the end of ''[[The EmperorsEmperor's New Groove (Disney)|The Emperors New Groove]]'', Kuzco is temporarily turned into both a tortoise and a hummingbird [[Morphic Resonance|with his hairstyle]] before being changed back into a llama.
* Roz from ''[[Monsters Inc.]]'' is a large garden snail-like monster with a tuft of white hair on her head.
** Also, some of the monsters, whether resembling either toads, slugs, or octopi, will inevitably have some form of hair on their heads.
Line 93:
* ''[[Almost Naked Animals]]'' takes it to its extreme. Species that wouldn't normally have hair, or at least not a full coat of it, still have the "shaved" appearance.
* Played straight with most of the cast of ''[[Birdz]]''. Those that don't have it just have a patch of feathers on their heads.
* The sea serpent [[Fan Nickname|Steven Magnet]] in [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]], to the point that half of his moustache being cut off is a minor plot point.
** Twilight Sparkle even uses her magic to give Spike the baby dragon an awesome mustache.
* Crusty from ''[[Dink the Little Dinosaur]]''.
