* ''Manga/Overlord2012'': In order to supply the monster denizens of Nazarick and their master [[VillainProtagonist Ainz Ooal Gown]] with a steady and reliable stream of low tier scrolls to cast spells, Demiurge was tasked with finding suitable livestock to harvest, which he finds in the the skin of Abelion Sheep. [[spoiler: Horrifically subverted when it's revealed the "Abelion Sheep" Demiurge has rounded up in his pastures are actually humans; the moniker simply arose from Demiurge mistakenly assuming Ainz already knew they were humans and chose to name them "Abelion Sheep" to even further dehumanize them when Ainz simply, and genuinely, believed they really were sheep.]]

* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'':
** ''TabletopGame/DarkSun'' is set on the DeathWorld of Athas, a scorching, blasted wasteland where many conventional animal (and humanoid) species have long since died out and been replaced by stranger, frequently non-mammalian creatures. Kanks are oversized but docile insects used as steeds, or herded for the honey they produce. Inixes and the even larger mekillots are enormous armored lizards often equipped with howdahs or used to pull loads. Erdlus are ostrich-sized flightless, featherless birds kept for their meat and eggs, while crodlu are larger, ''Oviraptor''-like creatures that can be bred as war mounts.
** The ''TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms'' reference book ''Elminster's Ecologies'' describes the Marsh Drovers, a human culture native to the Farsea Marshes, who herd domesticated catoblepas -- a type of long-necked, warthog-like monsters who live in swamps and can kill with a glance -- bred to be more social than their wild relatives and to see the Drovers as a part of their herd. The catoblepas are valued for their ability to live and graze in deep swampland where other livestock can't go, and because their deadly gaze lets them easily protect themselves against bandits, predators and monsters. Besides their edible meat and milk, they're raised for their eyes, hearts and brains, which are valuable spell components.
