History Main / FriendToAllLivingThings

%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample** Played straight in ''TabletopGame/{{WarhammerFantasy}}'' with Alarielle, Everqueen of the High Elves, who's probably the kindest and gentlest soul in all of Warhammer. Justified in that she's also the Priestess of Isha, the Elven MotherNature. The only exceptions of her kindness are [[MadeOfEvil undead and demons]].

* In {{Theatre/Into The Woods}}, Cinderella frequently talks to birds, and they appear to understand her. It's apparently not typical behavior, though, as when she asks the birds to carry out tasks for her, [[FairyTaleFreeForAll Little Red Riding Hood]] incredulously asks "You can talk to birds?"

* ''Webcomic/PrincessPrincess'': Sadie, not least because she likes to [[http://princessprincesscomic.tumblr.com/post/65600919844/like-all-good-princesses-sadie-is-a-friend-to-all spoil them with food.]]

* Hiccup in ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon'' becomes this, at least to dragons. He gets to the point that he can win over the trust of virtually any dragon ([[spoiler:except for the humongous ones]]).
** He actually does at least earn the tolerance of [[spoiler: the good Bewilderbeast]] in the second movie, simply by not being an asshole to him or any of his wards. [[spoiler: The Red Death from the first movie is a vicious cannibal whose own brood is afraid of her, and in the sequel, Hiccup is simply incapable of overriding the sheer amount of abuse the Bad Bewilderbeast had suffered under Drago's command]].

* In ''LetsPlay/{{Dream}}'s'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7t5B69G0Dw "3 Hunters Finale Rematch" video]], Dream seems to get help from animals at every turn. The first portion of the video has him tame wolves that he uses to counter the hunters' own wolves (though this trope is later called into question when he kills one of his own). He also uses a strider to get through the Nether (and later steals one of the hunters' own). When he leaves the Nether and is left to fall to his death, he is later saved by a horse [[NotTheFallThatKillsYou (as clicking on a horse to ride it negates fall damage)]]. And then, when swimming away from the hunters, he gets ''four'' dolphins on his side, giving him a massive speed boost. And Dream [[LampshadeHanging outright lampshades this trope]], referring to himself in the bonus video as a Disney princess.

* In the Litereature/TortallUniverse by Creator/TamoraPierce:
** Veralidaine Serrasri of ''Literature/TheImmortals'' gets along famously with animals of all kind right from the start of the story. Somewhat unusually, she does admit to playing favorites with some species (bats and wolves) and disliking others (chickens, who she finds [[TooDumbToLive offensively stupid]]). It turns out her Wild Magic has something to do with it, making animals see her as one of them even before she can control it. [[spoiler: And it turns out to go even further than that -- of course she and animals will love each other, she's basically a nature demigoddess.]]

* In ''Fanfic/OnceUponAStudioVersionTwoPointOh'', an extended version of Creator/{{Disney}}'s [[WesternAnimation/OnceUponAStudio centenary short]], WesternAnimation/{{Pocahontas}} is once again seen taking some of the animals tenderly in her arms, and later, during [[WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}} Cinderella and the Prince's first duet, [[WesternAnimation/RayaAndTheLastDragon Raya]] and [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast the Beast]] are seen petting Sisu behind them.

* In ''Fanfic/OnceUponAStudioVersionTwoPointOh'', an extended version of Creator/{{Disney}}'s [[WesternAnimation/OnceUponAStudio centenary short]], WesternAnimation/{{Pocahontas}} is once again seen taking some of the animals tenderly in her arms, and later, during [[WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}} Cinderella and the Prince's first duet, [[WesternAnimation/{{RayaAndTheLastDragon}} Raya]] and [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast the Beast]] are seen petting Sisu behind them.

* In ''Fanfic/OnceUponAStudioVersionTwoPointOh'', an extended version of Creator/{{Disney}}'s [[WesternAnimation/OnceUponAStudio centenary short]], WesternAnimation/{{Pocahontas}} is once again seen taking some of the animals tenderly in her arms, and later, during [[WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}} Cinderella and the Prince's first duet, [[WesternAnimation/RayaAndTheLastDragon Raya]] and [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast the Beast]] are seen petting Sisu behind them.

* The [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver]] and [[UsefulNotes/TheBronzeAgeOfComicBooks Bronze]] Age versions of ComicBook/{{Hawkman}} and Hawkgirl/Hawkwoman had the ability to speak with and befriend Earth birds.

%%* Tia in Alexander Key's ''Escape to Witch Mountain'' is this to a pair of bears and a cat. She communicates with them telepathically, too.

* An interesting variation in ''Literature/OneHundredCupboards'' with Caleb, a RareMaleExample and BadassNormal ArcherArchetype. He still fits the trope, though, travelling with a dog and a flock of befriended hawks, and even charms an injured wolf at one point.

* ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'': Cassie gets along swimmingly with all the animals at her farm, and has such affinity for critters that it makes her the best morpher in the group. Shes also quite dismayed to find that her friends think she'd put the lives of animals over their own. Note that it wasn't even a question of killing an animal but eating a polar bear's leftovers (a dead baby seal).

* ''Literature/TheBeastsOfClawstoneCastle'': Rollo adores any and every kind of animal - he even adopted a giant lizard from the zoo - which puts him in a perfect position to appreciate the cows.

* Inverted in Literature/DarkestPowers with Derek, who tends to send animals into screaming fits of rage or fear just by being within a fifty foot radius of them. He explains this to Chloe as, being that he’s a werewolf, the animals see a human but smell something entirely different, which makes them nervous. It’s still hilarious when he mentions that a Chihuahua randomly attacked him at one point and took a chunk out of his hand, though.

** Subverted in ''Literature/MovingPictures''. When sending for a new archchancellor, the wizards select Ridicully the Brown on the note that he loves nature and speaks to animals and assume that he will be very naive and easy to murder because of this trope. Turns out, he's an avid hunter, his speaking involves yelling at birds to shut up, and damn near impossible to kill to boot. He single handedly stops the University's tradition of KlingonPromotion. It is said that he does a lot for rare animals, mainly, keeping them rare.

* In ''Literature/DragonBones'', some of the heroic characters show traces of this. Ward is very good with horses, and manages to befriend the fierce stallion that killed his father. Oreg even befriends and ''talks'' to a rat-like species of ... ship vermin. [[spoiler: Both agree that the Basilik the villain used against them is a beautiful creature, but should better be kept behind bars, so to speak. Their ability to befriend wildlife is limited.]] It may have something to do with the fact that they both have dragon blood, dragons in this setting being sentient creatures that can communicate with humans ... why would that ability be limited to humans?

%%-->''He began filling it with handfuls of wheat from his pockets. In a swarm the grain-eaters arose around him as a flock of tame pigeons. They perched on his arms and the cap, and in the stress of hunger, forgetting all caution, a brilliant cock cardinal and an equally gaudy jay fought for a perching-place on his head''

** Beorn is a NatureHero and [[OurWerebeastsAreDifferent WereBear]] who keeps many animals on his plantations, all of whom directly serve with the animal speaking Beorn. Beorn is a vegetarian, doesn't use anything made from dead animals, and lives off a diet of honey and cream from his huge bees. The only animals Beorn will kill are the [[AlwaysChaoticEvil innately evil]] Wargs/Wolves, those animals Beorn will kill and skin without hesitation.

* In ''Literature/LordOfTheRings'', Treebeard and the Ents are this. Merry and Pippin convince them to attack Isengard by pointing to how Saruman has been destroying wildlife. This book also has Tom Bombadil and Goldberry who are very much this trope. Aragorn's healing powers and charisma work on animals as well as people, although he doesn't go out of his way to befriend animals they tend to like him a lot. This reveals him as a descendant of Luthien, and thus the royal line of Númenor. There is also a bond between the Maeras and the Kings of Rohan: the Maeras are semi-divine horses, created by Yavanna. Shadowfax, the white horse Theoden rides into battle at the end of Return of the King is descended from the Maeras. He actually survives the battle, and goes with Gandalf to the Undying Lands. Pretty much universally in Tolkien's mythos: animals like good guys and don't like bad guys.

* ComicBook/AntMan, his wife ComicBook/TheWasp and later Scott Lang can summon and they have a good relationships with ants of kinds, they often go underground to hives and take rides on them. Though they’re not above sacrificing hundreds of ants in kamikaze attacks or making a makeshift raft with them drowning heaps of ants.
* ComicBook/SubMariner aka Namor, of course, adores ocean life and is much more amicable with sea creatures than ''anything'' that walks on land (with the sole exception of [[ComicBook/InvisibleWoman Sue Storm]]). Though on the {{Squick}} side Namor also has no qualms with getting [[https://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/3/33831/2260601-imperius_sex.jpg very personal]] with [[ExtremeOmnisexual all kinds]] aquatic life.
* ComicBook/SquirrelGirl is a friend to every Squirrel and can summon them at will to attack her foes or foil villain's plans, as ComicBook/DoctorDoom learned [[https://sketchcardsaloon.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/squirrel-girl-doom.jpg the hard way]].
* ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} zigzags this trope, on one hand, he’s killed a lot of bears that have attacked him and once used a polar bear's hide as warmth but on the other hand he gets along fantastically with his own namesake animals as well as wolves and dogs. This love for canines stretches back to Wolverine's past where he had pet dog named Callie which Logan adored, then his illegitimate brother slit its throat to spite him. As an adult Wolverine bonded [[https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--Pv1ObH2E--/c_scale,f_auto,fl_progressive,q_80,w_800/fvfv2diyirxlkiovucyk.jpg with a pack of Wolves]] and lived with them for multiple years until [=WW1=], Wolverine can even [[SuperSenses sense]] animals's feelings which is one of his more bizarre powers.

* Amy in the ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' fic ''Fanfic/FallenAngel'' has a way with (non-FunnyAnimal) animals. Growing up a friendless orphan, she had a lot of free time on her paws and spent it playing with animals.

* Barbarella in ''Film/{{Barbarella}}'' manages to combine 1960s softcore erotica with a superhuman innocence: she gives an angel the inspiration to fly again, she manages to befriend the only decent people in a City of Evil, and she goes beyond a Friend to All Living Things when she feels sorry for the Excessive Machine after it brings down because she was more than it could handle. The only people who manage to dislike her to the end turn out to be the irredeemably evil characters in the film.

[[folder:Western Animation]]
%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* James Baxter the Horse from ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' rolls around on a beach ball making everyone happy.
%%* Suzie Chan, oldest Chan sister and the NaiveEverygirl from ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingChanAndTheChanClan''. Her younger sister Nancy has shades of this, too.
%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* Weirdly enough, in spite of how to title character in the series ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'' treats other human beings he is not actually trying to have sex with, for the most part he is this way towards most other species. Dogs especially. Just don't ask him about crocodiles.
* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'':
** [[Characters/AvatarTheLastAirbenderAvatarAang Aang]], as [[MessianicArchetype the Avatar]], automatically bonds with animals and spirits of all types. His successor, [[Characters/TheLegendOfKorraAvatarKorra Korra]] from WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra, was the first person to ever tame a [[MixAndMatchCritters polar]] {{bear|sAreBadNews}} [[CanisMajor dog]] and became quick friends with [[TeamPet Pabu]]. Avatar Wan could also fall under this: after not eating for days he finds a Catdeer caught in a net; instead of eating it he rescues it from a group of hunters. This Catdeer resultingly becomes his loyal companion Mula. Wan was devoted to protecting all life, as when Raava and Vaatu were fighting he wanted them to stop due then endangering the lives of animals and spirits.
** Other Air Nomads seem to follow in Aang's tradition. His grandchildren especially all seem to have this trait to varying degrees. Jinora is able to bond with the spirt animals as she first meets them, Ikki is able to organize a tea party with baby sky bison after first meeting them, and Meelo goes from playing with a single flying lemur to training an entire flock of them to land in sync.
%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* Eunice from the ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'' episode "The Transmogrification of Eunice". [[spoiler: Turns out she's the AnthropomorphicPersonification of a Unitrix.]]
* WesternAnimation/BettyBoop -- and since EverythingTalks in her cartoons, "living things" encompasses everything from bedroom furniture to trees and flowers.
* ''WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers'': While it's not a guarantee, many animals the Planeteers encounter seem to realize they're here to help and treat them in a friendly manner.
* ''WesternAnimation/CasperTheFriendlyGhost'' has the titular character try to make friends with anyone (humans and animals). At least most of the cartoons will have Casper trying to befriend an animal.
* ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'':
** Numbuh Three loves animals (showing maternal affection towards some of them) and they adore her. Even the Crazy Cat Lady's trained attack cats show affection toward her, much to the villain's dismay.
** Numbuh One seems to have a way with animals too in "Operation: F.E.R.A.L.", where he befriends a herd of Rainbow Monkeys (''large'' ones) and at the end of the episode, sics them on the [[TheDragon Delightful Children.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/TheCrampTwins'':
** Dirty Joe is a magnet for animals who like him for the way he smells. However, he seems rather indifferent towards them and flees when a herd of animals are chasing after him.
** Lucien's case depends on the episode. He loves animals and sometimes he gets along with them, but he usually doesn't have much luck. In "Homeless Joe", he only attracts animals after he makes himself smell bad.
** Lucien's friend Tony is better with animals than him because of his upbringing. He tamed Mrs Winkle's puppies with relative ease and helped them befriend Lucien.
* Mocked again in ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'', where one team loses their food privileges and makes do by tricking Princess Clara into singing so they can eat the adorable woodland creatures that show up whenever she does. Also a subversion, as Princess Clara is [[UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist not very friendly.]]
* Missy from ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' is very kind and friendly to everybody regardless of their character and she even has butterflies fluttering around in the episode "Finding Emo."
* To a certain extent, Emily from the children series version of ''WesternAnimation/TheFutureIsWild''. Then again, it's more like she's the friend of species ''she wants'' to be friends with, though almost invariably any animal species she wants to contact with becomes friendly with her.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Grojband}}'': [[TomboyWithAGirlyStreak Laney]] appears to be friendly to all animals, even feral flame rats and bees.
%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* The ''WesternAnimation/{{Histeria}}'' episode "When America Was Young" has a scene where Charity Bazaar show herself to be an example of this.
* ''WesternAnimation/JanaOfTheJungle'' often communicates with the animals of the rain forest, and they obey her commands, especially when innocent people need to be rescued.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'': The titular character is a NatureLover who loves animals, plants and even ''non-living things''. This aspect of her character is taken so far that one time, a mutated giant insect tries to attack her friends and Kaeloo stops Mr. Cat from killing it because it deserves to be loved.
* Blythe Baxter from ''WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop2012'' loves to spend time talking and interacting with the LPS regular residents and any visiting pet that stops by as the episode's guest animal of the week.
%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* Phoebe, the NaiveNewcomer in ''WesternAnimation/TheMagicSchoolBus''. She's also a FriendToBugs.
* Charlotte from ''WesternAnimation/MakingFiends'' is so good that even Vendetta's artificially created fiends cannot help but become her friends.
* Mia from ''WesternAnimation/MiaAndMe'' is able to bond with unicorns in Centopia, which are said to be shy around most other elves, and also understands their language. Panthea's pet cat, [[CatsAreMean Ziggo]], also seems less hostile towards her compared to other characters that aren't Panthea. This aspect of her character is even more pronounced during the second season, when Mia is staying at her grandfather's farm during her summer vacation, getting along with the animals there and even bonding with a horse that had difficulty trusting humans due to his bad experiences with his previous owners.
* ''WesternAnimation/MollyOfDenali'': Tooey is an animal whisperer who takes good care of multiple huskies. He wishes to be a musher like his father someday.
* In ''WesternAnimation/MoralOrel'', who better than God to have this power? In the opening sequence, a bluebird lands on God's finger and it has to be flicked away.
%%** The titular Orel himself has this, particularly in "Nature." Well...the [[MoodWhiplash first part.]]
* ''Animation/MrKrbecAndHisAnimals'': Kindly Mr Krbec ''loves'' animals. He has a tom-cat, befriends an owl and a jackdaw and later becomes a beekeeper. In turn, his animals adore him.
* Mr Scatterbrain in WesternAnimation/TheMrMenShow is always seen with an animal friend which he pulls out of [[HammerSpace nowhere]].
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
** [[Characters/FriendshipIsMagicFluttershy Fluttershy]] certainly gets along with the animals, acting as a loving mother figure to everything in the animal kingdom. Justified, as it's her job to care for the animals surrounding the town, be they cute bunnies or the guardian of the underworld. And even animals who have never met her before fear her stern gaze or a harsh scolding from her; everything from a full-grown dragon to a cockatrice that was [[TakenForGranite turning her to stone]] has backed down. Her tendencies gets explored in the episode "Bats!", where Fluttershy tries to defend fruit bats from being driven off of Applejack's farm, even when they are going to destroy her crops. While it takes some persuasion, Fluttershy is ultimately portrayed as in the right. "The Best Night Ever" reveals that it's actually SeriousBusiness for her. She becomes determined to make friends with all the animals in the Gala's Garden [[{{Yandere}} whether they like it or not.]]
--->'''Fluttershy''': You're...going to LOVE ME!
** [[Characters/FriendshipIsMagicSpike Spike]] as well, though not to the intensity of Fluttershy. He stands up to other dragons to defend baby phoenixes at the cost of the friendship with them he desperately wanted, he's absolutely delighted by the sight of the breezies, and he's very possibly the first Equestrian ever to actually trust, befriend, and stand up for a changeling. Even his relationship with the ponies counts, as most dragons are irreverent to ponies at best.
* ''WesternAnimation/PAWPatrol'': Birds really like Marshall.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePerilsOfPenelopePitstop'': Penelope Pitstop often uses animals to escape her perils.
* ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'': Unless he's hunting for food or needs to defend himself, [[Characters/SamuraiJackJack Jack]] shows all animals he encounters, both Earthly and otherworldly, plenty of respect that they seem comfortable around him.
* Parodied in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': [[Characters/TheSimpsonsHomerSimpson Homer Simpson]] briefly has a spiritual awakening after seeing God in a dream had while skipping church. As he talks to Lisa about this, several animals light on his hands and shoulders. SmashCut to Homer in the shower, the animals still there.
-->'''Homer:''' Guys, please, will you give me five minutes?
* All ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs1981'' in general are friends of all animals (except Azrael) and animals try to help them, although Papa Smurf and Nat are the more nature-oriented.
%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* ''WesternAnimation/SofiaTheFirst'': the fact that her Amulet lets her talk to them helps.
* [[Characters/SouthParkStanMarsh Stan Marsh]] of ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' is a more [[JadeColoredGlasses jaded]] and [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]] example, but he definitely qualifies, even more so than [[NiceGuy Butters]]. He refused to shoot a rabbit as early as Season 1, gave up entirely on meat for baby cows, and was the only one determined to stop the Japanese from killing whales and dolphins. ''[[VideoGame/SouthParkTheStickOfTruth The Stick of Truth]]'' calls back on this with his dog Sparky accompanying him in battle, and he feels guilty when he [[spoiler:decapitates the head of a zombified version of Princess Kenny's unicorn]]. In "Woodland Critter Christmas", he (reluctantly) protects the Woodland Critters from an evil mountain lion. He is dismayed to learn the mountain lion he killed had cubs and is even more horrified when [[spoiler:the Critters were trying to give birth to the Anti-Christ and were actually Satanic Worshipers. He does end up teaming up with the mountain lion cubs.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' has ''Jar Jar Binks'', of all people, befriending a sea monster to help stop a Separatist occupation.
* [[Characters/StarWarsEzraBridger Ezra Bridger]] from ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'' can use the Force to bond with animals, including savage creatures like fyrnocks. As the seasons pass he improves greatly, [[SurpassedTheTeacher surpassing his mentor]] in the scope and depth of connection, and by Season 4, he's gotten strong enough to attract wild animals Disney Princess-style even when he's not consciously trying to. Unusually for this trope, he's also used it with TheDarkSide, channeling his anger and fear into nearby creatures to drive them mad with rage and sic them on enemies.
* [[Characters/StevenUniverseRoseQuartz Rose Quartz]] from ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' saw the beauty in all things, no matter how "gross" or undesirable others might view them, which caused her to lead a [[DefectorFromDecadence rebellion against her Homeworld]] to defend Earth and all its life from being wiped out. It's ultimately deconstructed however, as Rose views ''all'' non-gem life largely the same, either as something cute and silly that she can have fun with or something simple and helpless that she needs to protect. When confronted with the fact that humans experience the same complexity and intensity of emotions that gems do, she has ''no idea'' how to react.
** [[Characters/StevenUniverseStevenQuartzUniverse Steven Quartz Universe]] himself seems to have inherited his mother's love of life in all its forms. He's quick to establish a bond with Lion, befriends a goat which he names "Steven Jr", and even holds a door open for a crab at one point. He treats humans, Gems, and animals all with the same degree of respect.
* Inexplicably, [[BloodKnight Raphael]] from ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012'' is able to make the pigeons of New York do his bidding, and his kindest moments in the series are usually with animals.
* Friend to ''Other'' Living Things example: In ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'', all nonhuman, non-cat animals instinctively side with Jerry and will protect him from Tom's attacks.
* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'':
** Bridgette is a vegetarian, finding creatures to be friends and not food. In ''World Tour'' she befriends a bear.
** Beth, being raised on a barn, also gets along well with many of the animals. Her favorite one is her pet pig whom she calls Big Bertha. She even claims to have signed up for Total Drama Island so she can find a boy who likes barn animals as much as her.
** Izzy seems to get along better with animals than people, befriending prairie dogs, camels, beavers, and a snake with ease (although the last one bit her).
** A very interesting twist on Alejandro's character. While he usually [[FauxAffablyEvil feigns friendship]] with nearly every contestant, up until they out live their usefulness and he betrays them, he does have an unusual handle over animals.
** From the second generation cast, Dawn is arguably one of the biggest examples of this on the show. She spends most of her free time interacting with various creatures. Even the mutant animals seem to like her.
** From the third generation cast, there's Ella, who can tame animals just by singing to them.
* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaPresentsTheRidonculousRace'': Ennui is liked by animals without trying. This helps him catch rabbits easily in "Down And Outback" and put the rings on a narwhal's horn in "Lord Of The Ring Toss". However, there are also animals who fear the Goths, like komodo dragons.
* ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'':
** Prowl of ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' isn't only a male-version, he's ''a giant alien robot''. The savage Dinobots listen when Prowl speaks (... well, sometimes). He even has a room with a hole in it that has a tree growing through.
** Beachcomber, from [[WesternAnimation/TheTransformers the original cartoon]], seems to have a special connection with birds, and even learned their language!
* The Kratt brothers in ''WesternAnimation/WildKratts''; no animal is even ''slightly'' wary of these two humans.
%%* Gnomes from ''WesternAnimation/TheWorldOfDavidTheGnome'', and the Dutch books on which the series is based, embody this trope regardless of gender.
* Zeta from ''WesternAnimation/TheZetaProject'' is a rare male robot example. Animals can sense the hostile intent of several humans in the series, but since Zeta is an ActualPacifist and gentle person, they gravitate to him.

[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* Belldandy in ''Manga/AhMyGoddess'', although she talks to the machine spirits of motorcycles far more often.
* Ekoda Ren in ''Manga/AnneHappy''. More specifically, friend to all-female things. She is a ChickMagnet to the point that female animals are constantly drawn to her, and thus is often seen followed by cats and dogs or with little birds landing on her shoulders.
* ''Manga/{{Basilisk}}'', where Hotarubi of the Iga Tsubagakure has to power to summon insects and reptiles... and use them to ''kill''.
%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* Leo Aoi of ''Manga/BeastMaster''. Yuiko also tries to be, but she's just a ''little'' too enthusiastic...
* ''Manga/BlackJack'': "The Painting Is Dead!" features a horribly tragic version. Artist Go Gan is seen chatting happily with cute animals gathering around him as he paints in a jungle on a South Seas island... [[MoodWhiplash that's suddenly hit by the shock wave from a nearby atomic bomb test,]] leaving Go Gan the only survivor, surrounded by dead bodies of animals and natives, and horribly stricken with radiation poisoning. [[spoiler:Black Jack manages to give him a little extra time by transplanting his brain into another body, but it's only temporary; his brain is ''also'' dying from the radiation. He accepts this, using his last hours alive to paint a picture of the devastation the bomb wrought, to outlive him as a message of the horrors of nuclear weapons.]]
* In ''Manga/{{Buddha}}'', being one is a sign of some spiritual enlightenment or supernatural gift.
* Umi and Sora, with countless marine and shore animals, in ''Manga/ChildrenOfTheSea''. [[spoiler: Though the 'friendship' might be more malevolent than assumed, since those sea creatures also eat Sora and intend to do the same to Umi. It's a weird manga.]]
%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* ''Anime/DragonBallZ'':[[GentleGiant Android 16]], though interestingly he had still intended to follow his programming and kill Goku, otherwise had no particular ill feelings towards anyone else -- except Cell, [[OmnicidalManiac enemy of all living things]].
* [[GenkiGirl Asuka Tokugawa]] from ''E's Otherwise'' is always seen tending to and caring for animals. She can sense their feelings and it seems they are attracted to her instantly.
* Tae Young in Manga/FourTownFourReal is shown to be loved by animals especially birds. Random wild pigeons will not only land on his shoulders and arms but nuzzle up to him. This is also shown in [[WesternAnimation/TurningRed the film]] when a dove with an injured leg also nuzzles up to him.
* Ruka Nogi in ''Manga/GakuenAlice'' has an animal pheromone which allows him to communicate with animals. He himself says that other than Natsume, the animals are his best friends. He genuinely loves and cares for the animals, whom he can also control. He is seen perpetually carrying a rabbit on his shoulder.
%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample.* Shido Fuyuki from ''Manga/GetBackers'', who also SpeaksFluentAnimal. His [[OfficialCouple girlfriend]], [[TheOjou Madoka]] [[GeniusCripple Otowa]], also picks it up; in fact, when Shido goes live with her in Madoka's BigFancyHouse, Shido's beloved animals join them too.
* In ''Manhua/GoddessCreationSystem'' Xiaxi competes with warrior princess Ming Zhu in a hunting competition to nonlethally subdue wolves. Her opponent puts out one's eye, knocking it unconscious but not killing it. When she turns around, she sees Xiaxi's wolf acting like a big friendly puppy towards her.
* Beautifully used to send up all expectations in the WhamEpisode of ''Anime/GunXSword''. Wendy meets an old man in a park who's feeding the birds. The animals are gathered peacefully around him, and birds even land on his outstretched finger. He has a pet St. Bernard, and gives a speech about dreams, adding that his own is world peace. This charming old man, loved by all the animals, [[spoiler:is [[BigBad the Claw]].]]
* ''Manga/HaventYouHeardImSakamoto'':
** Sakamoto went to great lengths to save a bird that had been blown away in a storm while they were trying to outpace each other and is seen visiting it in later scenes. In one episode he got himself sent to the hall so he could feed it.
** When a wasp invaded the classroom, everyone screamed for someone to kill it, but Sakamoto just told it to behave, skillfully fended it off with a compass, caught it, and put it out of a window.
** When his classmates in home economics found a slug in some lettuce, he appeared to [[AvertedTrope break this track record]] by making a show of sprinkling salt and other seasonings on the slug until it disappeared... then proved that it was a ruse by carefully washing the slug off and putting it outside with a gentle admonishment for choosing a bad spot to "play hide and seek".
* In the anime/manga of ''Literature/TheHeroicLegendOfArslan'', animals in general appear to be fond of Arslan. Hawks Azrael and Surush, especially Azrael, seem to be more of Arslan's pet than Kishward's. Kishward lampshades this and comments that the hawks know the goodness in Arslan's heart.
* ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'':
** America loved to play with bunnies and bison (if you count, uh, sort've dancing with them?) as a young child and befriends ''whales'' as an adult. It's so over the top that he comes to befriend ''extra-terrestrials'', one of which lives in his house (hi there, Tony). Nevertheless, he doesn't particularly care about global warming and whatnot. He's even friends with the unicorn England gave him, whom ''he can't see.'' He also has a very unusual personality for this trope, especially a male version, being a LargeHam BoisterousBruiser instead of a calm [[MessianicArchetype Messiah type]].
** England is a friend to all ''mythical creatures'', which apparently only he can see. In one episode he even befriends a {{kappa}}, who laments being forgotten in his own country.
* Gon from ''Manga/HunterXHunter'' is a male example, especially in the first few chapters/episodes. It's an established rule of the setting that great Hunters are well-liked by animals, as Gon's father Ging also seemed to have a way with critters.
* The [[HalfHumanHybrid half-demon]] Gyu-oh from the anime ''Manga/InuYasha'' also has this ability. Unlike the other half-demons, he is [[InvoluntaryShapeshifter a pure human during the day and a pure demon at night]]. As a human, he is so pure that wild birds settle on his body. However, when the night falls, they fly away and he transforms into his [[{{Youkai}} demonic]] form.
* Appachai in ''Manga/KenichiTheMightiestDisciple''. Occasionally the omakes will exaggerate this, such as him thinking he only needs to stand still for the next 20 days and the birds nesting on top of his head will be gone. Particularly interesting in that he is a two meter tall, musclebound man who goes by the moniker ''Death God of the Underground Muay Thai World.''
* The titular character of ''Anime/LucyMayOfTheSouthernRainbow''. Her list of {{Animal Companion}}s include her hamster from England, Mash, her goats Sticky, Pansy, and Soppy, her sheep Snowflake and her dingo Little. Not to mention various ducks and chickens amongst other animals.
* Caro of ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'' worked for the Wildlife Preservation Division before the events of the third season. [[AllThereInTheManual In the manga]] that showed her time there, we see her surrounded by birds she had befriended (Not in [[DefeatMeansFriendship that way]]), with her superiors talking about how her nature as a [[SummonMagic summoner]] lets her connect with animals easily.
* ''Manga/{{Monster}}'':
** A tragic example is a man who ''used'' to be a Friend To All Living Things in the forest he grew up around. That was before he killed an innocent man in the place [[PunchClockVillain because he was ordered to]].
** Played straight with the main character Dr. Tenma, who is also the Messiah himself. When he's talking to the aforementioned guy after ([[ChronicHeroSyndrome of course]]) saving his life, [[http://www.onemanga.com/Monster/62/23/ a finch lands on his arm]]. It is cute.
* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'':
** Parodied/lampshaded when Naruto goes through training that requires him to be still enough to balance on a stone slab on a spike. When he finally manages to do it a bird perches on his shoulder... which throws him off balance and sends him plummeting to the ground.
** Killerbee is definitely every animal's friend. Probably because they can tell how awesome he is. Taken to the extreme when [[spoiler:Killer Bee comforts Kisame's ''sword'', Samehada, after it was weeping over its master's death.]]
%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample** Kakashi is a good example with his ''Niken'' (dog summons), which he usually sends out to scout on missions but is also seen [[https://78.media.tumblr.com/f5f025e9ada38124d4280bd68ec32105/tumblr_ok74j1gKEh1rz70uio1_500.png relaxing with them]] in his spare time.
%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* Chachamaru (the robot) in ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi''. Later, Konoka exhibits this trope as well as FluffyTamer.
* Shion (or [[InconsistentSpelling Sion]]) of ''Literature/No6'' is beloved by all animals, especially robot mice and dogs.
* ''Manga/OnePiece'':
** Apis from the {{Filler}} Warship island arc, has the Devil Fruit power Whisper-Whisper Fruit, which grants her [[SpeaksFluentAnimal the ability to talk to them]]. So naturally, she befriends [[FluffyTamer a dragon]].
** An inverted case with Zoro, who, though he doesn't care much for animals, often finds them coming towards him. An octopus stuck on his head when he was inspecting a shipwreck. A South bird stayed near his side during Skypiea (to get his food) and his crewmate Chopper (a half-reindeer) clamps on his head when he's scared.
** Nami and Usopp count as well. In ''[[Anime/OnePieceFilmStrongWorld Strong World]]'', Nami befriends the electric duck Billy and is disgusted at Shiki mutating the other animals into monsters. Nami also is happy to see Mohmoo again despite it's connection to Arlong (Nami also attracts pervy animals like Eyelash the camel and Scissors the giant crab). As for Usopp, he actually [[FluffyTamer tamed]] massive tarantulas when he was young. Ironic since he is a [[LovableCoward massive coward]] when it comes to everything else.
** In the Wano arc, Tama plays this very straight as she befriends komainu (a mythical Japanese lion dog thing) and Hihimaru (a giant baboon). Tama's unnamed Devil Fruit even gives her the power to produce food that is capable of taming animals and even animal-humans.
%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample. Please add information about how animals react to the character.** Chopper is a friend to (almost) all living creatures, fitting since as a talking reindeer [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter he's one of them]] though since he ate the Human-Human Fruit, he technically belongs to both species. Chopper's animal communication ability also is very useful for the heroes at times. Chopper dislikes carnivorous creatures however.
* ''Manga/PandoraHearts'': [[TheStoic Glen Baskerville]] seems to have a thing with birds. They always love to sit on his head.
* Alice (and Mokuren) in ''Manga/PleaseSaveMyEarth'' can talk to plants and animals, and makes plants grow when she sings.
* ''Manga/PokemonAdventures'':
** Yellow is not only a particularly kind and gentle trainer, but she has the power to both heal and listen to the thoughts of Pokémon, which leads to her befriending just about any Pokémon that isn't being trained by an enemy.
** Diamond as well. Byron even notes how he managed to quickly tame a Shieldon even he couldn't handle. He befriends Steelix, the cavern boss of Iron Island as well, and can [[spoiler: convince legendaries to side with him.]]
%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample.** Lance, Yellow's ShadowArchetype, is basically Friend to All Pokémon gone wrong. He hates humans for destroying Pokémon's natural habitats and tried to [[KillAllHumans wipe out mankind]].
* And on the ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' side:
%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample** Nurse Joy, which is sort of a prerequisite, seeing as she's the Pokémon equivalent of a veterinarian.
** Of course, there's [[TheHero Ash]]: if a Pokémon doesn't like him right away, it usually will eventually. He's even [[PalsWithJesus befriended Arceus itself]]. We later learn in the final episode of his anime that in order to become a Pokémon Master, being the strongest trainer isn't enough, but he befriending all Pokémon is required to be a Pokémon Master. The ''Aim to be a Pokémon Master'' focuses especially on this trope, where he keeps helping wild Pokémon without catching them.
** There's also Brock, who has been known to convince wild Pokémon to approach when they're hurt, and who has expressed interest in becoming a Pokémon doctor.
** James interestingly enough is one of these, completely in spite of him technically being a bad guy. It probably helps that he's more of a PunchClockVillain and sucks at his job anyway. All of his Pokemon absolutely adore him, he in turn dotes on his Pokemon like a fussy dad, and on more than one occasion he has legitimately captured Pokemon just by asking them nicely if he could.
** Exagerated with Goh, to the point that he managed to befriend - or outright got all the attention of - a Galar Pokémon [[spoiler:Grookey]] conveniently wandering around Vermilion City (in ''Kanto'') into his room at Cerise's Lab ''while he was asleep'' and while he very conveniently was having a dream where his whole family was [[spoiler:Rillaboom]].
* Hareta from ''Manga/PokemonDiamondAndPearlAdventure'' actually ''lived'' with Pokémon for most of his life, and can even make a Gallade owned by Commander Saturn ''smile at him''.
* Sarah in ''Anime/PrincessSarah'' is a straight, if somewhat realistic example. Her animal friends include a pony, a parrot, the Seminary's comic cat, the sparrows outside her attic, and even a group of mice that live in her attic.
* ''Manga/SaintYoungMen'' has animals gathering around Jesus and Buddha and helping them with their daily needs, even going so far as to serve themselves on plates when they're out of food.
* Parodied in ''Manga/SchoolRumble''. Harima Kenji, in a fit of despair over a broken heart, rejects civilization to live as a hermit. In time, he gains the ability to talk to wild animals and a veritable zoo follows him wherever he goes for a time.
* ''Anime/RemyNobodysGirl'': Remy befriends Vitalis' three dogs Capi, Zerbino and Dolce, and his monkey quickly becomes her AnimalCompanion [[spoiler:after his death]]. The children of the orphanage adore Capi as well.
* ''Anime/TheSecretGarden'':
** Mary, despite being a SpoiledBrat at first, is kind to her cat Paddy, and later befriends all the animals of the Craven Mansion garden.
** Dickon Sowerby. All the animals love him so much, they show him their secret hiding spots, and he knows all their names.
* Fumina Konoe from ''Literature/ShakuganNoShana'' has something of an affinity for birds, getting easily distracted by them, and they tend to love her back.
* Creator/StudioGhibli does this a lot, not surprising given Hayao Miyazaki's frequent message about [[GreenAesop caring for nature]].
** ''Anime/NausicaaOfTheValleyOfTheWind'':
*** The titular Nausicaä is one of the classic examples of this trope. She's a kind person whose compassion extends to people of all nations and to animals as well She takes it much further than most others; she not only befriends cute wild animals but also horrifying battleship-sized insects, slavering-jawed giant dragonflies and so forth, so she really is a friend to ''All'' Living Things.
*** The [[spoiler:Garden Master]] in the [[Manga/NausicaaOfTheValleyOfTheWind manga]] is a nasty deconstruction of the trope, as [[spoiler:he tends to a beautiful, perfect garden and can speak with his animals, but cannot comprehend violence and the human need to survive, and a prolonged stay within the Garden's limits will destroy the visitor's will and cause them to forget the outside world.]]
%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample** The titular and lovable Totoro in ''Anime/MyNeighborTotoro'' as well as the two girls in the movie Satsuke and Mei.
%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample** Chihiro from ''Anime/SpiritedAway'' while lazy and bratty at the start of the movie [[CharacterDevelopment becomes]] a friend to all living things by the end of the movie.
%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* Used oddly in ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'': [[StartOfDarkness the last Parallel Works video]] shows ''Lordgenome'' was a Friend To All Living Things when he was a kid. Possibly deconstructed, in that he later decided to genetically modify the animals into his army Beastmen.
* ''Manga/TentomushiNoUta'' has an example in the main protagonist Hiyoko Isshuu, who frequently hangs around with animals and even desires to be a veterinarian when she grows up.
%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* Vash the Stampede in ''Manga/{{Trigun}}''. Apparently the animals have never heard how dangerous he is...
* Sakura in ''Manga/TsubasaReservoirChronicle''. She's not exactly a Messiah but she is the linchpin in a GambitRoulette. Her power is described as 'speaking to things that do not have voices', and therefore can communicate with ghosts and inanimate objects. The unfailingly gentle persona starts to develop cracks in the second half of the series.
* Ataru from ''Manga/UruseiYatsura'', a.k.a. the most lecherous man in the universe sometimes shows his side as a friend to all living things. He manages to hatch a fairy egg, raises a caterpillar into a fairy using the PowerOfLove, and [[WeirdnessMagnet saves the life of a kappa]].
* Parodied in ''Manga/ViolinistOfHameln'' when Lute's entourage of birds eventually grows into a mob of adoring animals, including crocodiles, gorillas, and a boa constrictor, which prove to be difficult to shoo off. His original bird companions stick around, played fairly straight, though [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by people around him.
* ''Anime/VoltesV'': Daijiro befriends a puppy in one episode after finding its mother's corpse, telling him he understands his pain because he watched his mother die too. The rest of the Voltes team eagerly warm up to it.
* Kusanagi in ''Manga/{{X 1999}}'' (manga and TV series, the movie leaves it out) is a rare male example. A 6-feet bulk of a paratrooper sergeant hearing trees talk, feeding pigeons and befriending cats.
* Daitokuji-sensei from ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'' (called Lyman Banner in the dub) was a self-proclaimed animal-lover. He once threatened a group of scientists who were performing cruel experiments on a monkey, and he had a pet cat named Pharaoh that he was ''very'' close to. [[spoiler: SO close, in fact, that when he died, Pharaoh literally ''swallowed'' his soul, making him unable to depart to the afterlife. He remained inside his pet's stomach from that point on, occasionally acting as an advisor to Judai.]]
%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* Yukina, from ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'', was portrayed this way in her first appearances. The manga has an off-hand mention of the birds being Reikai messengers, however, and later, one of Hiei's {{Whole Episode Flashback}}s has her make an interesting statement...which makes her a [[SubvertedTrope subversion]] of the trope, if anything.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Video Games]]
* ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' has three characters like this, [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope except all of them turn out to be the culprits in their respective cases]]]].
** Acro is constantly loved and flapped around by birds. These birds even attack Phoenix when [[spoiler:he starts accusing Acro of murdering the ringmaster (he did, but [[MurderByMustake he was aiming for someone else]])]]. The birds desert Acro when he's at his most intense, but come back afterward.
** In the third game, Dahlia Hawthorne is similarly accompanied by a trio of butterflies most of the time. [[spoiler:Said butterflies ''explode'' when Dahlia's [[ManipulativeBastard true nature]] is revealed.]]
** The second ''Investigations'' game has Souta Sarushiro/[[FanTranslation Simon Keyes]], an animal tamer from the same circus as Acro. His complete and utter love for the animals around him convinces everyone -- [[TheHero Edgeworth]] included -- that he's innocent of the murder in the prison. He’s the client for the second case, so Edgeworth has to defend him. [[spoiler:[[ManipulativeBastard It's all a facade]]. He has absolutely no sense of trust in anyone except for a single assassin and his seeing-eye dog. Everyone else is just someone to be used to get his revenge on the conspiracy that ruined his life, and his breakdown at the very end of the game reflects that with all the animals beating him up. And while techincally he's not lying about not being the killer for the murder in the prison, he most certainly manipulated the real killer into taking action.]]
** Played straight with a defendant and heroic [[TheCutie cutie]] Sasha Buckler from ''Dual Destinies''. She adores every creature and has a sweet bond with the whale, which she adorably sings to sea shanties, uses an anchor-shaped whistle to issue tricks to her whale, and even wears arm floats when she can swim. Also played straight with her equally pretty predecessor, Azura Summers who is shown using a whistle to sing with her whale friend. Then there's [[spoiler: her boyfriend who is another seemingly NiceGuy culprit. Of course there's the fact he never actually killed the victim and the supposed murder was a total accident, not to mention, he does genuinely like all the animals in the aquarium save for one orca he blames for the death of his girlfriend, the aforementioned Azura. He later makes amends with that orca when he learns Azura actually died due to the heart condition she had. So in a sense he's somewhat DoubleSubverted.]]
* Gundham Tanaka from ''VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair'' is a very strange example of this, as although he is a world-renowned animal trainer and lectures anyone who will listen on the proper treatment of animals, he [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} also believes he is a powerful Dark Wizard]], [[EvilOverlord aspires to rule the world,]] and refers to his hamsters as [[DeathbringerTheAdorable 'The Four Dark Devas of Destruction']] [[spoiler: This shows even in [[CruelAndUnusualDeath his execution scene]], as the first thing he does before facing his [[TrampledUnderfoot literally incoming death]] is to put his hamsters out of the stampede's range so they won't be harmed.]]
* Literature/{{Rapunzel}} is this in the ''VideoGame/DarkParables'' series, being the blessing conferred upon her by the nature goddess Flora. She not only gets along with everything living, but she has SwissArmyTears which can heal all injuries, [[spoiler:and is immune to the EnemyOfAllLivingThings powers of her little sister Belladonna]].
* ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'': B.B. Hood is a funny case -- plants sprout around her, and butterflies and moles like her far more than is normal, but she does ''not'' get along with wolves. (It should be noted that she has a lot of "cute" traits and a [[EnfanteTerrible less-than-cute personality]].)
* The eponymous protagonist of ''VideoGame/{{Dropsy}}''. Humans see his [[TheGrotesque monstrous appearance]] and are convinced he's a MonsterClown ([[NonIronicClown he's not]]), but animals generally like him and trust him implicitly -- indeed, his dog and the other two {{Loyal Animal Companion}}s he picks up during the game are necessary to solve puzzles, and Dropsy cares for them in turn. Dropsy also seems to be able to understand their speech, though he is mute himself.
%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls''
%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample. How do animals react to her?** In the series' mythology, Kynareth, the [[OurGodsAreDifferent Aedric Divine]] Goddess of the Air and Heavens, also has a significant association with nature and living things. Her [[TheCommandments Commandment]] states that one should "respect nature" and "use Nature's gifts wisely". She is a friend to all ''natural'' living things, anyway... Undead need not apply.
%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample. How do animals react to her?** Meridia is a [[OurGodsAreDifferent Daedric Prince]] whose sphere is obscured to mortals, but is associated with LifeEnergy, [[LightIsNotgood Light]], and [[ProudBeauty Beauty]]. Though she is associated with the "energy of living things", she technically [[SubvertedTrope Subverts]] it. There is a heavy emphasis on the ''Living'' part, for one. If you're Undead or a Necromancer, she ''will'' destroy you. If [[WhatIsOneMansLifeInComparison some living things have to die]] as collateral damage in order for her to achieve her greater goals, [[KnightTemplar she'll sacrifice them without a second thought]].
* The player character in the ''VideoGame/EndlessOcean'' games is this, as he/she befriends and learns about various sea life by ''petting'' it. The second game subverts it a little by allowing you to get attacked, but you defend yourself with a stun gun which explicitly has [[HealingShiv healing properties]] rather than anything lethal.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Fable}}'' if you get your good rating high enough, butterflies start flying around you. If you get your evil rating high enough, flies do the same.
* The "Animal Friend" perk in ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' makes you this (somewhat). The first rank of it makes it so animal enemies won't attack you. The second makes animals attack enemies (except other animals, which they already do anyway making the 2nd rank practically useless).
%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'':
%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample. Please add information about how animals react to him.** Guy, from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyII'', is a lumbering giant of a man... who speaks squirrel, is pure of heart, and has stats that make him an ideal White Mage.
%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample. Please add information about how animals react to her.** Lenna from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV'', to the point that she steps on poisonous plants to rescue the wind drake. She became this after [[spoiler: learning that her mother was sick, and could only be cured by the tongue of a wind drake, which would kill it. In the end, she chose to keep the wind drake alive, ''if'' you decided to do so; if not, the King shows up to stop her]].
%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample. Please add information about how animals react to her.*** To a lesser extent, Krile -- she's able to ''speak'' with every sentient being, but she doesn't go to the extremes that Lenna does.
%%Administrivia/ExamplesAreNotArguable** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'', this seems to be the case with Relm, who becomes instant friends with Shadow's RightHandAttackDog, Interceptor. It may be subverted, however, if Interceptor is simply picking up on the fact that [[spoiler:Relm may be Shadow's daughter.]] Then again, she managed to make [[GoldfishPoopGang Ultros]] go "D'AWWWW" and let her paint his portrait while he was in the middle of attacking your party.
* Hermes, before he became [[OmnicidalManiac Fandaniel]] in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'' is a tragic example. He loves all his creations in Elpis, and is incredibly distraught when his fellow Ancients decide which lives or dies. [[spoiler:When one of his creations, Meteion, reports that every star in the universe her sisters visited is either dead, dying, or destroyed immediately upon arrival and snaps, Hermes himself becomes overwhelmed by existentialism and allows Meteion to escape to the edge of the universe, kickstarting the conflict of the main storyline of the first eight years of the game.]]
* Henry from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening''. He is even able to ''communicate'' with animals and plants alike!
%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample** Also Sumia and Ricken.
* In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'', Azura's son Shigure can attract woodland critters with his singing. In the Child Scramble DLC, if Azura married Takumi, their other son Kiragi can also attract woodland critters with his singing.[[spoiler:.. [[SubvertedTrope at which point he shoots them in the face with his bow.]]]]
* Jak of ''VideoGame/JakAndDaxter'', despite his AntiHero status, and having an "[[SuperpoweredEvilSide anger issue]]", is a pretty nice guy who's especially good with animals.
%%* ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'':
%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample. How do animals react to him?** [[KidHero Sora]], a male example, would befriend anybody who's not trying to kill him or his allies.
%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample. How do animals react to him?** [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep Ten years before the events of the first game]], there was [[TheCutie Ventus]], who was just as friendly. [[spoiler:It's possible that Sora got his friendly nature from Ven, considering that the latter's Heart resides within him.]]
* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'':
** Link is not only good at taming potential steeds (the Crimson Loftwing, Epona), but some animals will also willingly come up to him more than others (Twilight Princess). This can be explained by how he has the [[EmeraldPower Triforce of Courage; Farore, the Goddess of Courage, created the lifeforms that inhabit Hyrule.]]
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast'': The ghost in the Sacred Grove is seen playing his ocarina for group of forest animals, who disappears if Link goes near him; causing the animals to scatter.
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'':
*** Though Saria is from Kokiri Village, she can often be found deep in the surrounding forest, [[ChekhovsGun near the Forest Temple]], where she teaches Link her song. She explains that it allows her to communicate with the spirits in the forest and also allows her to speak to him telepathically. Which how she learns [[spoiler: of the disturbance in the Forest Temple when she finally awakens as the Forest Sage, 7 years later]].
*** Malon the ranch girl adores the horses under her keep and even endures Ingo’s tyranny because she fears he’ll hurt the horses. Malon is the only other character besides Link who can tame Epona.
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'': Ilia, despite being the Mayor's daughter, [[NatureLover spends more of her time in the surrounding forest]], rather than Ordon Village. She's portrayed as selfless and giving: from tending to Link's horse (Epona) for him, to saving Prince Ralis when she found him collapsed in the road leading to Hyrule Castle Town.
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkBetweenWorlds'': Gulley, the young son of the blacksmith, is often confused as to why his wild animal friends tend to run away whenever anyone else approaches them. This is fitting, as he's an {{expy}} of the flute boy from ''A Link to the Past'' and [[spoiler: is implied to be Saria's successor as the new Sage of the Forest]].
* The Cultists of ''VideoGame/{{Majesty}}'' combine this with FluffyTamer. They immerse themselves in nature as part of their religion and routinely patrol monster lairs, not to raid them but to charm the ferocious animals that emerge from them.
* Amaterasu, the main character in ''VideoGame/{{Okami}}''. Not only do animals adore her, but she also makes [[FertileFeet flowers bloom wherever she steps]]. She's a PhysicalGod though, so it only makes sense. Nor is it one-sided -- she will stop any time, anywhere, to feed the animals she encounters on her travels, whether rabbits or tigers. And when you make flowers bloom near animals, they get hearts over their head and run over to Amaterasu to nuzzle up to her.
* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'':
** N from ''VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite'', a male example and [[spoiler:probably a deconstruction, as he was deliberately conditioned into this through brainwashing and social maladjustment by Ghetsis]]. He never uses the same team of Pokémon twice, because he doesn't even capture them: he makes friends with wild Pokémon that can be found in the area and asks them to battle for him. [[SpeaksFluentAnimal He also has the ability to understand what Pokémon say]]. He then releases them afterward. In the sequels, ''VideoGame/PokemonBlack2AndWhite2'', it is possible to obtain the Pokémon N released for yourself, and they all have maximum happiness. He also states in the sequels that he wants to use his abilities to become a mediator between humans and Pokémon.
** In ''VideoGame/PokemonUltraSunAndUltraMoon'', [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure Aether Foundation President]] [[AntiVillain Lusamine]] is shown to be this, as she displays a nicer and friendlier personality as opposed to [[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon the original games.]] However, like N, she's also shown to be a more [[WellIntentionedExtremist extreme example]], as she still plans to use Cosmog to open the Ultra Wormhole and enter Ultra Space, [[AdaptationalHeroism but now it's only to stop Necrozma from stealing Alola's light,]] [[AdaptedOut not because of an obsession with Ultra Beasts.]] [[PetTheDog She even thanks Lillie for taking care of Cosmog and appreciates Gladion's concerns about her disappearing forever]] [[spoiler:like their father, Mohn, did.]] She's not even a SoreLoser this time as she [[CombatCompliment compliments the player for]] [[WorthyOpponent becoming so strong on their Island Challenge]] [[GracefulLoser when they defeat her.]] Best of all, she even makes a genuine HeelFaceTurn after Necrozma is dealt with, [[HeelRealization realizing how much she hurt Cosmog and her children]] [[JerkassRealization and how Solgaleo/Lunala has been weakened from]] [[FusionDance being fused with Necrozma for so long,]] and vows to be a better mother to her children from now on without interfering in their affairs.
** In a sense, all the player characters in the games could count, since every Pokémon that can be obtained in the games can easily become a potential ally. Something that doesn't seem to come as easily for NPC characters. This is also kinda [[EnforcedTrope enforced]] by the game mechanics, as there are ''numerous'' ways to increase the friendship points but only exactly ''two'' ways (letting them faint in battle and spamming them with bitter herbal medicines) to reduce it.
* Bear Hugger from ''VideoGame/PunchOut'', if his interactions with his [[http://i.ytimg.com/vi/byu2sMQvlOw/hqdefault.jpg bear and squirrel]] companions are anything to go by. He even brings the squirrel along for his rematch, complete with little boxing gloves of it's own, and coos over it when he wins.
* Erana from the ''VideoGame/QuestForGlory'' series is a powerful mage whose goodly influence you will come into contact with throughout all of the games. Several gardens have sprung up wherever her magic is at work, causing animals to gather and exerting an influence of calm and purity over everything.
* ''VideoGame/SakuraWars: [[VideoGame/SakuraWarsSoLongMyLove So Long, My Love]]''[='=]s Diana has a specific bond to birds; they flock to her and she can't stand to see them harmed, and faints when served Fried Chicken at a Harlem Church. Coqulicot from the third game lives in a circus and has this sort of relationship with the animals under her care.
* Mono from ''VideoGame/ShadowOfTheColossus''. She's got the birds and fawn and everything. Even the squirrel looking up at her.
* In ''VideoGame/TheSims3'', if Sims have the Animal Lover trait, they instantly qualify. One Sim in Appaloosa Plains([[MeaningfulName who fittingly enough has the last name Shepherd]]) is friends with all the playable pets in the game when it starts, and she has the Dog Lover trait instead.
* ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'':
** Sonic's initial reason for fighting [[MadScientist Eggman]] was to save his animal friends who had been captured and [[UnwillingRoboticisation used to power Eggman's robots]]. In the end of [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog1 the first game]] they are seen frolicking through the GreenHillZone with him. Most of his friends have shown signs of this at least once too. Justified somewhat as they're animals themselves.
** [[EnemyToAllLivingThings Subverted]] by [[VillainProtagonist Metal Sonic]] in ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog4: [[VillainEpisode Episode Metal]]''. He goes through the same levels as Sonic all while freeing animals by destroying the robots they're trapped in (robots made by his own creator), much like Sonic would; but he's only going through them to track down Sonic and because they attack him first. Once he's found Sonic, the animals he's unintentionally freed jump happily around him, but he gets annoyed by this and scares them off.
%%Administrivia/ZeroContextExample* The Aurin from ''VideoGame/WildStar'' an entire alien species of this, male or female, animal or [[TalkingToPlants plant.]]
* Princess Kenny in ''VideoGame/SouthParkTheStickOfTruth'' has two abilities that call on animals. One calls a unicorn, and the other involves him singing to summon a swarm of rats. He ''is'' a princess, after all. The trope is parodied if the player messes up the action commands they have to do to make the abilities work, however, and can result in Kenny being [[spoiler: impaled by the unicorn or devoured by the rats.]]
* ''Franchise/TouhouProject'':
** Reimu Hakurei, the main protagonist, has shown to feed wild animals by hand, summon birds via whistle, and when the fairies tried to trick her into walking into a lake fish spontaneously formed a bridged under her feet.
** Satori Komeiji. Thanks to her ability [[{{Telepathy}} to read minds]], all animals love her since she can understand them. Of course, that same ability makes her feared by humans and youkai [[MindOverManners who don't like having their mind read like an open book]].
** Kasen Ibara, the one-armed, horned hermit, has several exotic pets, and handles all animals well.
* ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}}'': In ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', there is a Druid only glyph by the name of "Glyph of Charm Woodland Creature", which "Allows the Druid to befriend an ambient creature, which will follow the Druid for 1 hour."
%%** Taken to the point of parody by Mylune, the dryad in Mount Hyjal.
* ''VideoGame/YesYourGrace'': Princess Cedani is natural at taming wild animals, with her record by the end of the game consisting of a snail, a hedgehog, a fox and a [[spoiler:bear cub]]. Unfortunately, she's also a ChronicPetKiller and the last of the list is the only one that can potentially still be alive by the end of the game.
[[/folder]]

* Shion (or [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Sion]]) of ''Literature/No6'' is beloved by all animals, especially robot mice and dogs.
