* ''Film/TurkeyShoot'': Former circus freak Alph is a hairy, beastial man whom Tito uses as an attack dog. He even has eyes that look like a cat's, and acts in a very animalistic way, so while ostensibly just having a genetic condition his appearance and manner put Alph firmly in this category.

* ''Literature/AmaranthineSaga'': the Amarathine are a race of supernatural creatures who are "guardians" of various animal species, and each Clan manifests traits of that species, [[ALittleBitBeastly such as antlers, tails, wings, or unique colorings]] as well as being able to appear in "truest form" as a large (ranging from "unusually big" to "won't fit inside buildings") version of said animal.
* ''Literature/TheBloodWarTrilogy'': The Grol and Tolen, a race of werewolf-orcs, more or less, are a major race. The Grol are AlwaysChaoticEvil, though they're the same species as the Tolen, who seem to be decent enough sorts.
* ''Literature/{{Borgel}}'': Milly and Glugo are large, green, upright gorillas with human-like intelligence and personalities, who live in a dimension other than Earth.



* Creator/ClarkAshtonSmith's stories of Hyperborea have a race of beast men called voormis, who live inside the cave system of a spectacular, five-coned volcano. What little description of them we're given - that they're covered in shaggy umber fur and have three toes - suggests that they may be some type of ground sloth people, and their central god, Tsathoggua, is also described as resembling a mix of sloth, bat, and toad.

** In "Literature/RoguesInTheHouse", Nabonidus is revealed to be a monstrous beastlike humanoid of some sort.
--->''"Conan", he whispered, "it was no man that stood before me! In body and posture it was not unlike a man, but from the scarlet hood of the priest grinned a face of madness and nightmare! It was covered with black hair, from which small pig-like eyes glared redly; its nose was flat, with great flaring nostrils; its loose lips writhed back, disclosing huge yellow fangs, like the teeth of a dog. The hands that hung from the scarlet sleeves were misshapen and likewise covered with black hair. All this I saw in one glance, and then I was overcome with horror; my senses left me and I swooned."\\
"What then?" muttered the Cimmerian uneasily.\\
"I recovered consciousness only a short time ago; the monster must have thrown me into these pits. Conan, I have suspected that Nabonidus was not wholly human! He is a demon -- a were-thing! By day he moves among humanity in the guise of men, and by night he takes on his true aspect."''
** In "Literature/IronShadowsInTheMoon", an ape-man attacks the characters out of lust for Olivia.
** In "The Hyborian Age", the {{Backstory}} to Conan, ape men, snow-apes, etc. are a major driving force in history.
* ''Franchise/CthulhuMythos'' notably features [[FishPeople fish-like Deep Ones]] as well as [[OurGhoulsAreCreepier ghouls]], which look like rubbery dog-people with hooves and scaly claws. Deep Ones have an advanced civilization which produces beautiful golden jewelry [[BreadEggsMilkSquick and worships world-ending]] [[EldritchAbomination Eldritch Abominations]]. Ghouls are a bit more feral, but they have their own language, can read human ones, and understand concepts like humor, art or military strategy.



* ''Literature/AFableOfTonight'': ''Stalking the Unicorn'' features a catgirl named Felina.



* ''Literature/KateDaniels'': The more powerful shapeshifters can develop a form halfway between human and beast, known as the warrior form. This form is more dangerous than either of the others, and being in this form is legally equivalent to being armed with a lethal weapon.



* ''Literature/MercyThompson'': When a werewolf's wolf and human sides have the same goals, they can act together to make a halfway form, which is supposedly more dangerous, intelligent, and dexterous than the normal forms, although they haven't been shown much.
* ''Literature/PlayPlaces'': The Kem people, [[spoiler:though it can be considered parodied in that the Kem are more sensible than humans]].
* ''Literature/QuestForFire'': It's downplayed but the [[CannibalTribe man-eating Kzamms]] are given some animalistic features like [[RedEyesTakeWarning glowing red eyes]], movable wolf-like ears and [[FrazettaMan ape-like limb proportions]]. They are thought by the protagonists to be descended from bears. Interestingly, anatomically modern humans are also mistaken for beast men by said protagonists because of their seeming lack of shoulders and BodyPaint which resembles [[LizardFolk scaly skin]].
* ''Literature/{{Sekhmet}}'': The races of Panthera tend towards this. The Sirens are a race of bird women. Hyenas and Lupians are a hyena version while the lupians are canines. The story focuses on the feline Kanjis.
* ''Literature/TheShatteredWorld'': The Cthons sure ''look'' like Beast Folk, and have the usual abilities associated with this trope, HealingFactor and communication with animals in particular. They're demonic creatures rather than bestial humans.

They have the same range of morality as humans, but tend to occupy the lower social strata in the human dominated city-states and often turn to banditry.

The specific races of Wilderkind are: Bjornvir ([[UrsineAliens bearfolk]]), Ekornvir (squirrelfolk), Grevinvir (badgerkin), Kaeninvir (rabbitfolk), Klovir ({{catfolk}} - specifically wildcats), Mustvir (weaselfolk and otterfolk), Raevir (foxfolk), Rattevir ([[RatMen ratfolk]]), Ravenvir ([[BirdPeople ravenfolk]]) and Ulvir ([[WolfMan wolfkin]]). In-game, most wilderkind are mechanically sorted into one of two races, with only the rattevir and ravenvir having distinct mechanical profiles. The bjornvir, grevinvir and ulvir are lumped together as ''Stalwart Wilderkind'' and ekornvir, kaeninvir, klovir, mustvir, and raevir are grouped together as ''Fleet-Foot Wilderkind''.

* ''VideoGame/ArmiesOfExigo'': The main force of the Beast armies (often referred to as Kobolds) are this to a T. They're humanoid with vaguely animalistic features, a tribal culture, and savagery that seems ingrained into them. Their troop-types include Witches, [[WorkerUnit Minions]], Warriors, and [[TheBerserker Berserkers]]. They favour axes as weapons, have longstanding alliances with Ogres, Trolls, and LizardFolk, and utterly despise humans.
* Many characters in ''VideoGame/BeyondGoodAndEvil'' are (presumably [[UpliftedAnimal uplifted]]) humanoid animals of all stripes. It's not really commented on much; they're pretty much just normal folks who happen to be talking animals. The most prominent is your partner-in-crime [[PigMan Pey'j]] who accompanies you through the game.

* Myth/IrishMythology has several examples of beast folk, the majority being CatFolk and Canine folk. They are clearly supernatural in nature, and possess strength, speed and ferocity on a superhuman level, and tend to be antagonists when they appear, making a living by raiding towns or aiding tyrants like The King of the World. One story makes references to a warrior tribe of "white-backs" who may be FishPeople, or at the very least descended from fish (the white-back referring to shimmering fish scales) adding an aquatic beast tribe to the mix.

* ''TabletopGame/TheChroniclesOfAeres'' has both the DraconicHumanoid races of kobolds and draconvir, and the "Wilderkind"; a collective term that refers to 10 different races of humanoid animals created from [[{{animorphism}} transformed humans]] and {{Uplifted Animal}}s. The specific races of Wilderkind are: Bjornvir ([[UrsineAliens bearfolk]]), Ekornvir (squirrelfolk), Grevinvir (badgerkin), Kaeninvir (rabbitfolk), Klovir ({{catfolk}} - specifially wildcats), Mustvir (weaselfolk and otterfolk), Raevir (foxfolk), Rattevir ([[RatMen ratfolk]]), Ravenvir ([[BirdPeople ravenfolk]]) and Ulvir ([[WolfMan wolfkin]]). In-game, most wilderkind are mechanically sorted into one of two races, with only the rattevir and ravenvir having distinct mechanical profiles. The bjornvir, grevinvir and ulvir are lumped together as ''Stalwart Wilderkind'' and ekornvir, kaeninvir, klovir, mustvir, and raevir are grouped together as ''Fleet-Foot Wilderkind''.

*** Calibans are humans mutated by curses into various monstrous forms. While they usually look like hideously misshapen humans, many fuse human forms with animal characteristics such as coarse hair, animal heads, claws or tusks. For instance, one supplement features a caliban born with the head of a tiger who was abandoned in the forest of a [[FantasyCounterpartCulture Japanese-style]] domain and [[RaisedByWolves found and raised by]] ''kami'' animal-spirits.

On the monster side, there's also the [[WolfMan Garmyr]] and [[RatMen Ratlings]], who were mutated from regular animals by [[GreenRocks Delerium]] into humanoid monsters whose burning urge is to kill and eat any non-mutant humanoid they can find.
