Furry Reminder: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

So, we have an [[Talking Animal|anthropomorphic animal]] [[Funny Animal|who acts just like a human]]. Stands on hind legs, talks, interacts with humans just like he's one of them, they treat him [[Furry Denial|just like a human]]... it seems the only difference between him and a human is that he has fur and a tail. But then, when the audience has forgotten what he is... he does something that's actually animal-like! If he's a dog, he might suddenly stop what he's doing to chase a cat, if he's a cat, he might happily give someone a dead mouse.

* In ''[[Solatorobo]]'', Caninu ([[Petting Zoo People|dog-people]]) are shown as catching flying discs in their mouths like regular dogs in lore, and Red himself is quite fond of chewing on a [[Stock Femur Bone]].

* The birds in ''[[Hatoful Boyfriend]]'' are mostly an inch between [[Civilized Animal|Civilized Animals]] and [[Funny Animal|Funny Animals]], but Oko San, a fantail pigeon, is more birdlike than the others. He talks in coos which are translated, has a hyperactive, arrogant and [[Genius Ditz|extremely stupid personality]], and his 'human' portrait is just a pigeon in a school uniform. He was based on the writer's real life pet bird, and serves mostly to remind the player that the cast really are birds.

** When the class all leave wishes on the tree for Tanabata, everyone leaves well-spoken messages except for Oko San, whose is covered in footprints and spots of ink (or possibly droppings).

 

** Squidward is normally depicted with his tentacles arranged as if he were a biped, however from time to time he'll be seen in a decidedly more cephalopodian light, even secreting ink on Spongebob in the bathtub<ref>[[Ho Yay|Not what it sounds like]].</ref>

* ''[[Futurama (Animation)|Futurama]]'' - the Chicken-Lawyer, with a very Matlock-style bearing, is reassuring a little girl on the witness stand, then suddenly lunges at her with an alarming squawk.

** He's also known to describe himself as a "simple country hyperchicken".

** Zoidberg constantly does crustacean things - shedding his shell, eating garbage, [[Out With a Bang|mentioning that he dies after mating...]]
