{{trope}}
'''Basic Trope''': They're great with any living thing - except humans.
* '''Straight''':
** First type: Alice is a sweet-natured girl who can talk to - and understand - animals and plant life as if they were human, but when it comes to interacting with people of her own species, she panics.
** Second type: Bob is a savage hunter in the jungle who's learned to live off the fat of the land, but is distrustful of humans.
* '''Exaggerated''':
** First type: Alice can communicate with ''anything living'', but passes out when a human being so much as looks her way.
** Second type: Bob is a [[Hunter of His Own Kind]].
* '''Justified''':
** First type: Alice [[Sacrificed Basic Skill for Awesome Training|spent so much time learning how to talk to animals that she didn't learn to talk to humans.]]
** Second type: Bob has some past hurt in his life.
* '''Inverted''': [[Animals Hate Him]]
* '''Subverted''':
** First type: The companions run into Alice, who they expect to be very sheltered. She greets them warmly and helps them out with no trouble at all.
** Second type: The gruff hunter greets the intruders with reasonable, if not extreme, warmth.
* '''Double Subverted''':
** First type: ...in order to get them to quickly be on their way and not try to convert her.
** Second type: ...But only because he knows if they're going to try something, it won't be if he's on guard.
* '''Parodied''':
** First type: The naive Alice goes on a rant about various social injustices that either never existed, barely existed, or have since been fixed.
** Second type: Bob turned his back on humanity because of a very minor misunderstanding that could have easily been resolved.
