▲{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|Viral]] does this while fighting Kamina. Justified in that he's part cat, and fights like one when he's on foot.
Line 24:
** Whereas Grimmjow does it constantly.
* Shmion from the first season of ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]''.
* The [[Sealed Inside a Person
* Orson from ''[[Record of Lodoss War]]'' when he enters his [[Unstoppable Rage]].
* Negi Springfield of ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' whenever his monstrous side starts to take over.
Line 53:
* The [[Affably Evil]] Rattigan from '[[The Great Mouse Detective]]'', after having a severe [[Villainous Breakdown]], begins running on all fours to get to the protagonist and [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown|beat the living crap out of him.]]
* Dominic Greene in ''[[Quantum of Solace]]'' uses a very subtle version of this, betraying his sinister nature over his high society, charitable facade. After his [[Villainous Breakdown]], it becomes far more obvious when he [[Narm|screams like a demonic monkey]] while [[Axe Crazy|attacking Bond with an axe.]]
* ''[[Interview with the Vampire]]'': Vampires usually turn
* [[Combining Mecha|Devastator]] from ''[[Transformers (film)|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen]]'' actually stands and walks like this.
* Inverted in ''[[Beauty and the Beast]]'' where the Beast at first stands and walks like this, but gradually begins to stand and walk upright as the film progresses to show the fact that he is gradually becoming more civilized. Played straight with Gaston, however, where he actually does the complete opposite (first, he stands and walks upright, but near the end of the film, he reveals his evil self and starts to stand and walk like this).
Line 61:
== [[Literature]]
* {{spoiler|Rochester's first wife, Bertha}} in ''[[Jane Eyre]]'' walks like this: "What it was, beast or human, one could not, at first sight, tell; it grovelled, seemingly, on all fours..."
* The woman in the wallpaper, [[Nightmare Fuel|creeping and creeping]], from Charlotte Perkins Gilman's ''[[The Yellow Wallpaper]]''. {{spoiler|[[Paranoia Fuel|And, eventually, the narrator.]] [[Fridge Logic|How she manages to finish writing the story while creeping is another question]].}}
