{{quote|''"The rabbit is cuddly! Kids like little cuddly sidekicks! I mean, the rabbit... it's a time-tested... okay, the rabbit bites."''|[[The Incredibles|Mr. Incredible]], defending an In-Universe fictional [[Team Pet]].}}
Line 76:
*** He can also speak {{spoiler|and has actually been spying on the X-Men, albeit benevolently, for quite some time}}.
**** Hardly a subversion. Whoever said that a Team Pet has to be harmless? Lockheed is certainly goofy, though, at least in appearance (and for this Troper, quite intensely irritating, to the point of being [[The Scrappy]] as much as a Team Pet. Of course, that's frequently a damn fine line).
* [[Great Lakes Avengers]] have [[Squirrel Girl]] as their Team Pet, being the youngest, goofiest and least experienced member who [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?|has a tail and talks to squirrels]]. But if you want to get technical, it's really Squirrel Girl's sidekick <s>Monkey Joe</s> Tippy-Toe, who's a full member of the group, despite being a squirrel. Yes, that kind of [http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Squirrel squirrel].
* ''[[Bamse]]'' has Katten Jansson and Husmusen, a cat-and-mouse duo that really belong to the main character's grandmother, but often sneak along on adventures. Some [[Furry Confusion]] is involved here, as the cast of the comic are [[Funny Animal|Funny Animals]], but Katten Jansson and Husmusen (as well as other pets and wild animals) are portrayed more like [[Talking Animal|Talking Animals]] who only talk among themselves.
** Katten Jansson and Husmusen are also usually [[Those Two Guys]] when they do not star in the story.
Line 109:
* ''[[Lexx]]'' had 790 the robot head (and briefly, Squish the cluster lizard).
* In ''[[Firefly (TV)|Firefly]]'', River and Kaylee double for this spot. Although Kaylee is also the [[Wrench Wench]] and [[Mr. Fixit]]. In the [[Serenity (Film)|Big Damn Movie]], River [[Took a Level In Badass|Takes About Six Levels In Badass]] to the point where even Jayne can't keep up with her.
* Classic ''[[
* In ''[[Primeval]]'' we get Rex, a Coelurosauravus from the Permian anomaly. He doesn't serve much purpose, except to hang out and look cute, possibly to counter all of the [[Nightmare Fuel]].
* ''[[Imagination Movers]]'' has Warehouse Mouse, a [[Team Pet]] that gets actual plot within the show.
Line 180:
* Snarf from ''[[Thundercats (Animation)|Thundercats]]'' is pretty well the epitome of this trope. Utterly useless in a fight except against the weakest of minions, and tends to serve as weak comedy relief. Subverted only slightly in that Snarf is actually the nanny for Lion-O before he wakes up all growed-up on Third Earth.
** In ''[[Thundercats 2011 (Western Animation)|Thundercats 2011]]'' Snarf is much more explicitly a ''pet'': Though possessing [[Amplified Animal Aptitude]], Snarf cannot speak, and instead serves as an [[Empathy Pet]] and [[The Confidant]] for Lion-O's many [[Surrogate Soliloquy|Surrogate Soliloquys]]. Also an [[Evil-Detecting Dog]]...not that [[Kid Hero]] Lion-O pays enough attention when Snarf tries to serve in that capacity.
* Momo in ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender (Animation)|Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' is a flying [[Mix
** In the [[Sequel Series]], The Legend of Korra, the two team pets tradition continues with Pabu, the fire ferret (red panda/ferret hybrid) and Korra's polarbear-dog, Naga.
* Radarr is just another element of the [[Cliché Storm]] that is ''[[Storm Hawks (Animation)|Storm Hawks]]''. Pun unintended.
