* Daine the Wildmage from ''Literature/TheImmortals'' quartet. It started off as SpeaksFluentAnimal, but through the series she gained AnimalEyeSpy and VoluntaryShapeshifting. By the third book she can give herself bat's ears for a moment to listen better, or owl's sight to see in the dark. By the climax of the fourth book, Daine's able to transform into complex hybrids of several animals.

* ''WebSite/CollegeHumor'': Parodied in the two-episode cartoon ''Furry Force,'' which stars a group of four werewolves who only stop their nemesis Victor Vivisector because he'd rather [[DrivenToSuicide kill himself]] than fight them.

* ''Literature/ThePerfectRun'': Some Genomes like The Panda and Mosquito have animal motifs as their main gimmick. Basically, they transform into a giant version of the animal that can talk. Both the Panda and Mosquito are rather disappointed with their powers (it's why Mosquito [[PsychoSerum took a second elixir]]), but it turns out that ''being a giant panda or mosquito'' is actually a pretty good power.

Added DiffLines:

** ''Series/KamenRiderGotchard'' has several categories of powers that can be mixed with one another, and both supporting Riders make use of fantasy creatures in their mixes:
*** Kamen Rider Majade pairs mythical beasts with astronomical objects, such as sun-unicorn and moon-cerberus.
*** While initially only using vehicle powers, Valvarad eventually upgraded to incorporate "Occult" creatures (cryptids and {{Youkai}}) as well. His main form is a fusion of an {{Oni}} and a CoolCar, and he can augment it with further pairs like {{Orochi}}-excavator and angel-helicopter.


Added DiffLines:

** ''Series/KamenRiderGotchard'' can combine powers from several different categories in pairs, and half of those categories are animal themed: Insects, Animals in general, "Ancient" (dinosaurs and other prehistoric life), and "Occult" (cryptids and {{Youkai}}). As a result, most of his available forms have some sort of animal basis, and a few are even mashups of two animals.

Added DiffLines:

* The Wild Kids from ''Toys/SuperThings''. Rather than being based on objects like the other [[KidHero Kazoom Kids]], they are instead based on animals. They're granted various abilities that reflect the animals they became, along with outfits that blend the animal elements into them. Each Wild Kid has a [=SuperThing=] partner representative of the animal they're based on, combined with an inanimate object.

** Animal Abilities is a rather common kind mutation quirk. Tsuyu Asui is a frog, the hero Selkie is a spotted seal, hero Gang Orca is an orca whale, and heroine Mirko is a rabbit. These quirks are usually fairly versatile, offering several different superpowers that fall under the category of 'what [insert animal here] does'. Tsuyu, for example, has super leg strength, a MultipurposeTongue, incredible swimming ability, [[FlightStrengthHeart and slightly poisonous mucus]] (and later, the ability to camouflage herself). They also tend to come with animal weaknesses, such as Tsuyu being vulnerable to extreme temperatures and Gang Orca being vulnerable to drying out.
