Line 20:
'''Note:''' This is such a [[Universal Trope]] that, instead of listing every single cartoon animal in the world, we will instead list notable exceptions and subversions.
==Exceptions, Subversions, Aversions, and Notable Examples==
=== [[Advertising]] ===
* In a DQ ad, a "rock and roll falcon" gives the heavy metal/evil eye sign with both wings.▼
=== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ===
* Subverted with Tama the tiger in ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler]]''. Despite [[Rule of Funny|apparently being a certified boiler engineer]], Tama clearly has extreme difficulty in manipulating controls of any kind, or holding things without shredding them.
Line 31 ⟶ 34:
* Big Eggo, an ostrich, the original cover star from ''[[The Beano]]'' used this trope to try and appear more human. It didn't work, and the character was later replaced by a more human bear.

▲* In a DQ ad, a "rock and roll falcon" gives the heavy metal/evil eye sign with both wings.
* The owls in ''[[Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole]]'' use their feet rather than their wings to manipulate objects.
* ''[[Kung Fu Panda]]'' has mixed uses of this trope. Ducks and geese are able to use their feathers like fingers, but Crane (the, well, crane) has realistic wings and uses his feet and beak to move objects.
Line 49:
** De Brunoff's later stories, as well as the TV and film tie-ins take this a step further. Quadrupeds living along side the elephants, such as Lord Rataxes and the other rhinoceroses have hands with fingers. Since Rataxes' troops are typically [[Card-Carrying Villain|Card Carrying Villains]], they will often have claw-like hands. This is also true of hippos in Babar's world.
=== [[Live
* The Tenga Warriors in ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]'' actually have clawed hands at the ends of their wings.
Line 56:
** Another had several snakes wanting to let another snake in, but being not quite sure in how to work the doorknob. (Don't ask [[Fridge Logic|how the other snakes got inside in the first place...]])
=== [[Tabletop
* With thousands of cards representing the creatures of ''[[Magic: The
* [[Yu-Gi-Oh Card Game|Neo-Spacian]] [http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Neo-Spacian_Air_Hummingbird Air Hummingbird] avoids feather fingers by having his [[Winged Humanoid|wings come out of his back]]. He has talon hands instead.
=== [[Video
* A rather unusual subversion takes place in the videogame ''[[Godzilla]]: Unleashed''. Both [[Our Dragons Are Different|King Ghidorah]] and [[We Can Rebuild Him|Mecha-King Ghidorah]], who both just happen to be three-headed dragons, use two of their heads/mouths as arms/hands to pick things up. Likewise, [[Giant Flyer|Rodan]] just picks things up with his talons.
** Then again, this is in line with some of the films, in which Ghidora's heads are essentially hand puppets.
