The story follows the crew of The Fellowship; they're a motley crew composed of [[Uplifted Animals]] (called Humanimals) along with two humans (One is a former prince named Edward Green who marries the Second-in-Command, Minsk; the other is a homeless waif boy named Ichabod Crane who is adopted by the crew and serves as Team Doctor.) and one alien, (also a former Prince who marries the Captain, Matoaka.) The Humanimals of the crew are Matoaka Redfeather, a unicorn girl; Minsk Flemmingcoff, a mink girl; Bill Brandy, a bull boy; Jim Buckwheat, a squirrel boy; and Bob Buttz, a catfish boy.

* [[Animal Stereotypes]]: Plays with these, Matoaka embodies the Noble Unicorn stereotype, Marzipan is fairy typical as the sweet and lovable [[Catgirl]] most of the others subvert, Bill is in no way a stupid and clumsy bull but is actually quite street smart and savvy, Jim does not embody the hyperactive squirrel stereotype by being a mellow and laid back [[Nice Guy]].

* [[Animal Talk]]: Referred to as Animalese, all Humanimals understand it without the need of an interpreter, also all animals understand each other, a dog can understand a cat, a cow can understand a horse, humans are the only Earth species that does not understand Animalese.

* [[Alien Catnip]]: Ichabod learns he is Half Elf and that to half elves wasabi is like a mix of catnip and crack cocaine, to only way to bring him back down to normal is through physical pain, and normally that means Ichabod gets a spanking.

** Also Strawberries seem to have a similar effect on Aves to ecstasy mixed with Viagra .The result is a painful, long lasting erection.

* [[Erotic Eating]]: Kong tries this one time with a banana.

* [[Ethical Slut]]: Kate Punda-Milla, the zebra girl is only partially this. She was infamous on her home world for being a mare who [[Really Gets Around]] but has since come came to settle down for the family life with Ichabod's half uncle, Thomas Lanky. However, she is very helpful to the crew as she is pretty much a sexual encyclopedia and gives Bill and Samantha advice on how to safely make love. She also gives Ichabod and Marzipan ideas on how to satisfy their libidos (tickling fetishes, spanking) without losing their virginity.

* [[Everythings Nuttier With Squirrels]]: Subverted, Jim Buckwheat the Squirrel Boy is pretty mellow and laid back, until you hurt his friends, you defiantly don't want to be around him when he's wielding his [[Flaming Sword]].

* [[The Fair Folk]]: Ichabod soon learns he is half elf, he is NOT happy.

**** In another episode The Wrangler Empire tries to get The Federation Humanimals addicted to 'magic food' which apparently smells incredibly good to Humanimals, once they start eating they just can't stop!

* [[Intelligent Gerbil]]: All the Non-Earthling species are this, Aves are Bird People (Specifically Alien Herons) Octos are Octopi, Magis are Cats and those are just the three main Alien species!

* [[Interspecies Romance]]: Let's see...We have Human Boy and Cat Girl, Human Boy and Mink Girl, Male Alien Bird Thing and Unicorn Girl, Bull Boy and Human Girl, Human Boy and Zebra Girl, and one case of a Gorilla Boy having a crush on a Dragon Girl (But nothing ever comes of it) In fact of the very few couples in which the members are the same species, Jim Buckwheat and Jordan Celt (Both Red Squirrels) are the only same species couple that feature main characters.

* [[Killer Rabbit]]: Hopper the rockhopper penguin, a figure of legend.

* [[Our Dragons Are Different]]: Many different varieties of Dragon Humanimal populate the universe. Belladonna Starchild is a typical Eastern Dragon, and Tiamat is a Hydra. (Despite being a [[Multiple Head Case]] she is considered quite a sex symbol.)

* [[Our Zombies Are Different]]: In the Battle with B.A.A.W. Story Arc, we are introduced to the Shadow Humanimals, undead Humanimals who serve B.A.A.W. they are something of a cross between Voodoo and Reveniant, they are similar to Voodoo zombies as they were brought into being by a magic spell and have to obey the master's commands weather they want to or not but are mostly like Reveniant as they have minds of their own and resent their masters for enslaving them. They are extremely different from the typical portrayal of zombies as they are not rotting corpses but have the appearance of extremely beautiful Humanimals the main way you can tell them apart from regular Humanimals, they don't breathe, they are freezing cold to the touch and they have a death like stench, Unlike most zombies who subsist on [[Brain Food]] Shadow Humanimals mostly eat normal food despite the fact they don't need to and mostly do so out of habit, also they tend to have a very strong sex drive, as poor Ichabod found out when Uni the Shadow Unicorn tried to have her way with him.

* [[Petting Zoo People]]: All the Humanimals are this, to a lesser extent the [[Intelligent Gerbil]] Aliens are this as well.

* [[The Power of Love]]: The Power of Love is what drives the plot. The Prophecy that sets the plot in motion states, ''"If a virgin human male loves a humanimal female with all his heart and '''he''' loses his virginity to her, then the universe will be altered and all intelligent beings will become equal."''

** When trapped in the video game world drinking Decaf Coffee enrages Edward so much he can smash walls and break robots in half!

* [[Pregnant Badass]]: Matoaka defies orders to go on Maternity leave and continues to be Captain of The Fellowship while pregnant with Zander's child! Minsk as well when she is pregnant with Edward's child

* [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent]]: Averted, many of the reptile characters are extremely nice and pleasant, in fact early in the series Matoaka informs Ichabod "There is no such thing as a bad animal, only extremely prejudiced humans."

* [[Scary Dogmatic Aliens]]: Aves are and unusual case, not so much 'Aliens are Nazis' or 'Aliens are Communists' but more Aliens are stuffy Victorian Era prudes. Kind of overlaps with Nazis with their 'No Interspecies Breeding Allowed' policy and their general obsession with 'pure blood'. Can you blame Poor Zander for his [[My Species Doth Protest Too Much]] attitude?

* [[Sex Slave]]: Yeah I know, As Squicky as it may be often times Humanimals are born and bred to be sex slaves. Jordan Celt was being 'groomed' to be her Master's concubine until Jim rescued her. Rose the Dragon Girl was captured to be a sex slave.

* [[Snakes Are Sexy]]: Beauty Cherrystone a Cobra Girl, is in love with Ichabod and competes with Marzipan for his affections.

* [[Soapbox Sadie]]: Bill's Human girlfriend Samantha Star is notoriously political, particularly when it comes to saving the environment and animal welfare. She also [[Speaks Fluent Animal]].
