* ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'': No points for guessing Fat Cat's species (though it's also got a double meaning as he is a wealthy animal businessman/criminal too). Also, his henchman Mole is a mole. For that matter, [[ALizardNamedLiz Chip is a '''chip'''munk]] (which [[LampshadeHanging gets a lampshade hung on it]] in ''Webcomic/OfMiceAndMayhem'').

* ''Series/DieSendungMitDerMaus'': "Trude und ihr Tier". (May count as subversion, as Tier[[note]]Animal[[/note]] is no animal anyway, but belongs to BenevolentMonsters.) An episode to name him ended in a fail. (And [[CatchPhrase there where he comes from]] he probably has one anyway.)

Added DiffLines:

* ''WesternAnimation/SheRaPrincessOfPower'': Imp is an imp named Imp. It's never clarified if he's part of a species, that particular class of demon, or even if it's just a nickname but his design makes it pretty clear what the animators were invoking. This is backed up by the fact that several of the characters such as Leech, Mantenna, and even Hordak are using codenames as revealed in their bios, whereas nothing appears under Imp's alias.
