** This is also played straight with BigBad [[spoiler:Mr. Waternoose, who resembles a spider or crab]], and is willing to keep Boo from getting home to [[spoiler:stop the company from shutting down]], in contrast to Sully, who is willing to risk his job and life to protect her.
** {{Zigzagged}} as other monsters like Mike and Celia are less mammalian than Sully but are still seen as sympathetic, with Boo playing with and laughing at Mike multiple times.

They are also not as non-mammalian as the antagonistic monsters, having mammal traits such as [[NonMammalMammaries breasts]].

* ''Franchise/{{Tohoverse}}'': King Shisa is one of the few mammalian Toho kaiju, and also one of the most consistently heroic. Unlike many of the other monsters in the series, he is generally portrayed as a protector of humanity, and in his debut appearance in ''Film/GodzillaVsMechagodzilla'', he is the guardian deity of an ancient family from Okinawa.

* In ''Literature/ArtemisFowl,'' most of the fairy races would count as mammals, except for the [[OurGoblinsAreDifferent goblins]] and [[OurDemonsAreDifferent demons]], which are more reptilian. Unsurprisingly, goblins are entirely a race of AlwaysChaoticEvil {{Mook}}s, while demons are a ProudWarriorRace with [[TokenHeroicOrc a few good members]]. In comparison we have [[OurTrollsAreDifferent trolls]], which seem to be mammalian; they're often treated as monsters, especially early on, but later books veer toward making them more sapient and sympathetic as time goes on.
* Subverted in the titular novella of ''Literature/TheDreamEatersAndOtherStories'' by Louise Searl. The heroes are the reptilian dragons, whilst the BigBad is a manticore, a mash-up of several mammals (lion, human and bat - though it also has a scorpion's tail).

** The setting contains all sorts of mythological and folkloric creatures. The ones that are featured most prominently tend to follow this trend. UnicornsAreSacred, the part-horse Hypogriff Buckbeak is prideful but not malicious, and Fluffy the Cerberus is a guardian and only ever harms the bad guys. Then we have the Basilisk (the king of serpents) who was bred to purge the school of muggle-borns and the Acromantulas (giant, man-eating spiders) whom only Hagrid calls adorable. The trope is {{subverted}} with dragons. They are always antagonistic and portrayed as very dangerous, with their viciousness being explained as being either breeding mothers or enslaved guardians who prompt Hermione's sympathy. Thestrals (winged, skeletal horses) downplay the trope a bit, as they can only be seen by those who've witnessed death but are not evil and even help the heroes at a crucial moment.
