If their style of snarkiness involves [[Pungeon Master|a lot of puns]], they may well be [[A Worldwide Punomenon|Pun Fursonified]].

Line 52:
* Ozymandias, from [[Simon R Green]]'s ''[[Deathstalker]]'' series.
** Also by the same author, Prince Rupert's talking [[Unicorn]] in ''Blue Moon Rising''.
* Mogget from [[Garth Nix]]'s ''[[Abhorsen]]'' Trilogy is a little white fluffy cat who spends most of his time sleeping and [[Deadpan Snarker|making unkind remarks]]. Except [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|when]] his [[Super
* The ''[[Polity Series]]'' has a definite debt to the [[The Culture]], as is seen in its own snarky artificial intelligences. ''The Skinner'' also has a snarky [[Hive Mind]] of sapient wasps.
* Bob the Skull from ''[[The Dresden Files]]''. He's not really a skull, he's just anchored to it. He's actually a [[Magical Computer|supernatural library of the laws of magic]] that constantly evolves as the laws of reality do. He's also a [[Dirty Old Man|complete lech]], a [[Deadpan Snarker]] to rival Harry, and something of a [[Lovable Coward]]. He also has a [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold|conscience]] under there, [[True Neutral|on occasion.]] Of course, [[Super
** As of [[The Dresden Files|Changes]], it seems [[Big Friendly Dog|Mouse]] is as well -- and though [[Cats Are Snarkers|Mister]] can't (or at least has yet to be able to) talk, he managed to snark pretty well himself, too. He must have taught Mouse about the virtues of threatening to 'literally tear (character's) ass off'.
* Bartimaeus from The Bartimaeus Trilogy [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheBartimaeusTrilogy\]could be called this. He does take over from the main character a lot of the time (Nathaniel would've died in the first book without him) but he is, technically, the sidekick and he has the snarky part down pat.
Line 98:
* Reynardine from ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court]]'' is a dangerous demon, possessing a cuddle toy and [[The Kid With the Leash|kept in check]] by Antimony.
** It is worth noting that Reynardine can shift into a large, dignified-looking white wolf form, and is not nearly as snarky or foul-mouthed. His snark is apparently dependent on his mascot status, and there is some serious confusion regarding what he actually thinks about others (at least, anyone he doesn't regard with snarky apathy).
* Although she fits the qualification of being the resident [[Non
* Artie from ''[[Narbonic]]'' (a superintelligent talking gerbil) was originally presented as this, but became more developed as the story went on.
