** Although ''Series/TheSuperMarioBrosSuperShow'' once showed Toad taking off his hat, Nintendo has since clarified that the mushroom "cap" is actually part of his head.

* Complimenting Lancer when fighting him in ''VideoGame/{{Deltarune}}'' will mention that Kris can't tell this about him.
* ''VideoGame/BugFables'': Befitting for a pop star, Mothiva's fur growths resemble the tank top, short shorts and long stockings, with her wings bearing the resemblance to a fur coat.
* The sylvari in ''VideoGame/GuildWars2'', being [[PlantPerson plant people]], have the option of growing leaves out of their bodies to use as armor. Game-mechanically it's still armor that can be equipped and unequipped, and they're capable of wearing regular armor instead.
* Possible in ''Videogame/{{Spore}}'' due to large amount of body parts and colorization to be given to your creature.
* ''VideoGame/ThemsFightinHerds'':

* The mermaid-like Lochladies from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey'' have scales and fins in the shape of a dress.

* The ''Series/DoctorWho'' episode "The Empty Child" features a virus created as a result of an extraterrestrial medical probe that landed in the middle of World War II mistaking a dead gas mask-wearing child for a healthy specimen of his species. The virus causes its victims to, among other transformations, grow their own gas masks over their heads.

In works of fiction that feature {{Funny Animal}}s, {{Beast M|an}}en, HumanoidAliens, or other similar non-human species, characters in these groups can run the gamut from ExposedExtraterrestrials to {{Accessory Wearing Cartoon Animal}}s to {{Half Dressed Cartoon Animal}}s to {{Barefoot Cartoon Animal}}s to {{Fully Dressed Cartoon Animal}}s. Among some of the species that ''do'' wear clothes, however, you may notice upon closer inspection that a character's "clothes" actually seem to grow from their bodies as appendages or other parts of their bodies. For example, the WhiteGloves may actually be the color of the character's hands.

If the character is a PlantPerson, the "clothes" may be extra long leaves or flowers. If the characters are FishPeople, the "clothes" may be fins. If the characters are BirdPeople, the "clothes" may be feathers or even an extra set of wings. InsectoidAliens and other arthropoid creatures may feature "clothes" that are extensions of their exoskeletons. In rare cases, this can even occur with otherwise mundane humans, usually as the result of shapeshifting or some kind of freakish mutation.

* ''Wiki/SCPFoundation'':

* In the ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory'' series films, what appears to be Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie, and the aliens' clothing '''is actually their "skin"'''! (Nothing has been confirmed for the other toys, however).
