Feral Child: Difference between revisions

* Another French comic series, ''[[Sillage]]'' (''Wake'' in English) begins with its heroine Nävis (Navee in English), the sole survivor from a wrecked spaceship, growing up wild with a big tiger-like companion on a jungle planet. The spinoff series ''Nävis'' (not yet translated into English) tells of her early childhood, when she was also being looked after by the ship's only surviving robot.

* The Amphibian from ''[[Supreme Power]]''. Her mother tried to drown the both of them after seeing her malformed baby, but the Amphibian took to life underwater pretty well, living there into her early 20s before ever being discovered. She's incapable of speech, but can communicate telepathically. She also responds to anything she preceives as threatening with violence. Oh, and, as you might've guessed, she doesn't wear any clothes.

* The Black Condor is a human man who was raised by condors. Who taught him to fly (yes, without wings). And then he became a US Senator. [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made on Drugs?|I swear I'm not making this up]].

* Subverted by Teon AKA Primal from ''Generation Hope''. He acts as if he's Hope's pet dog most of the time, rarely says anything but "fight", "flight", "eat", "mate", and "woof", and does horribly on intelligence tests, but then he aces them when she offers him a snack, and when his parents sue the X-Men for custody of him, he takes the stand and gives an eloquent speech convincing them to drop the suit. It turns out he had a normal human upbringing and was actually a computer geek before his mutation turned him into a being of pure instinct concerned primarily with survival and mating.

* Gau of ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]'' was abandoned by his father at a very young age and had to survive alone on the Veldt. He speaks broken English, and usually moves around on all fours, but otherwise is never shown to have any trouble fitting in with the rest of the party.

** [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot|Unfortunately]], Gau's wild nature only really comes up in three places: his dialogue ("Gau! Gau!"), his in-battle specialty (Rage, which allows him to [[Power Copying|copy monsters' skills and abilities]]), and an optional cutscene where {{spoiler|his father is finally found}} and the party does their best to clean up his manners and appearance. {{spoiler|Gau's father}} doesn't recognize Gau, but does compliment him (he must have [[She Cleans Up Nicely|cleaned up nicely]]) and say that his "father must be proud". A [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] ensues outside.
