[[File:rise_of_darkrai_ash_pikachu_7378.jpg|link=Pokémon (Anime)|rightframe|The average Pikachu weighs 13.2 pounds (6.0kg). Ash is ([[Comic Book Time|still]]) 10 years old.]]
 
 
A [[Loyal Animal Companion]] who rides on its human companion's shoulder. Though it can hitch a ride on [[Head Pet|its human companion's head]] or even in their arms from time to time, its most prominent location is the human's shoulder.
 
Both [[Pirate Parrot]] and [[Shoulder -Sized Dragon]] are found in this position.
 
Compare [[Head Pet]], [[Feather Boa Constrictor]]. Hopefully has nothing to do with the position of a [[Monty Python|dead Norwegian Blue parrot.]]

== Anime & Manga ==
Line 15:
** Similarly, Iris's Axew pops out from her hair to form this appearance on her shoulder.
* Boota from ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]''. Whenever he isn't [[Victoria's Secret Compartment|in Yoko's cleavage]], he's on Simon's shoulder.
** The prequel video depicts [[Four -Star Badass|General]] [[Ensemble Darkhorse|Guame]] [[The Dragon|The Immovable]] doing the same thing with Lordgenome. Obviously this is before he partially evolved.
* In ''[[Zero Seven Ghost]]'', a dragon-like creature rides on Teito Klein's shoulder.
* As part of her part as an evil witch in the [[Non -Indicative First Episode]] of ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi|The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya]]'', Nagato gets a shoulder-mounted cat. It tends to slide off, so she has to keep pushing it back up throughout the episode. Kyon's sister has the cat [[Head Pet|on her head]] in the opening sequence.
* Luna and Artemis from ''[[Sailor Moon]]''.
* ''[[XXX Holic]]'': After much experimentation (including up Watanuki's shirt, and probably once or twice in his pants), Mugetsu appears to have found his(?) niche as a shoulder pet.
Line 64:
 
== Video Games ==
* The eponymous [[Mix -and -Match Critters|Daxter]] from the [[Jak and Daxter|Jak and Daxter legacy]] has this as his default form. Jaks' shoulders probably get saved from being shredded by his claws thanks to his [[Fashionable Asymmetry|single shoulder pad.]]
* In ''[[Puzzle Pirates]]'', the player can get a "familiar" pet that perches on the player character's shoulder. Originally they were all parrots or monkeys, but later updates to the game have added octopuses and seahorses (which nonetheless like a shoulder perch) and serpents (which go the [[Feather Boa Constrictor]] route).
