History Main / NonmammalianHair

* ''SuicideForHire'': The reptilian pizza delivery boy/black market merchant Altair Annunaki has an impressive head of hair (though not as impressive as Arcturus' - Arcturus has the excuse of being a mammal).

* Subverted in the webcomic NipAndTuck: lizard Hortense wears wigs.
* The reptilian pizza delivery boy/black market merchant Altair Annunaki of SuicideForHire has an impressive head of hair (though not as impressive as Arcturus' - Arcturus has the excuse of being a mammal).
* Tammy Lambeau from ''KevinAndKell'' has nice long white hair.

[[AC:ComicBooks]]
* Some of the female ducks in the {{Scrooge McDuck Universe}} have "hair" on their heads in addition to feathers, while most of the male ducks just have white "feathers" that behave like hair, as in the case of Scrooge's whiskers. Gyro Gearloose does have "hair", though, and Gladstone Gander's curls seem to vary between being feathers and actually being colored blond, DependingOnTheArtist.
** Also from the Disney {{Scrooge McDuck Universe}}: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ludwig_von_Drake.png Ludwig von Drake]] has a fringe of hair, giving the impression that he's bald ([[FridgeLogic but he has feathers on the top of his head!]]). [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flintheart_Glomgold_-_DuckTales.jpg Flinthart Glomgold]] has a very full beard.
*** Oddly, Glomgold only has a hairy beard in the animated series ''DuckTales''; in [[http://coa.inducks.org/character.php?c=FLG&view=2 the comics]], it's the same color as his feathers. Also in ''DuckTales'', Launchpad [=McQuack=] has a red forelock peeking out from his aviator's cap; whether the rest of his head is drawn with hair or feathers varies from episode to episode.
*** And a little further away in [[DarkwingDuck Saint Canard]], J Gander Hooter also has the white fringes, with nice bushy eyebrows too. Most of these use hair not as a gender marker, but as an ''age'' marker. And yes, the girls (Morgana, Gosalyn, Sarah Bellum, Ammonia Pine) have hair.

[[AC:Folklore]]
* It's common enough for dragons to be depicted with beards. ([[OurDragonsAreDifferent Though there are ways to justify this.]])
** The Asian dragons aren't usually even properly reptilian, taking most of their features from birds and lions, so it's pretty justified.

[[AC:Real Life]]

* Many pterosaurs appear to have been covered in hair or fur-like structures.
** Which, interestingly enough, are thought to be more closely related to feathers, seeing as pterosaurs are archosaurs like dinosaurs and birds.
* The [[strike:[[http://community.livejournal.com/wtf_nature/245825.html Wolverine Frog]]]] [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hairy_Frog Hairy Frog]].

[[AC:TabletopGames]]
* ''Many DungeonsAndDragons'' monsters are portrayed as (usually female and beautiful) non-mammals with hair. Naga, mariliths, lillendi, harpies ... some of them are magical or demonic beings, but it's disturbingly consistent.
* The [[OurOrcsAreDifferent Greenskins of]] {{Warhammer Fantasy}} and {{Warhammer 40000}} are naturally hairless, because they're essentially sentient and extremely violent humanoid fungi. Most Greenskin hair is limited to topknots which are explained as being a specialized breed of squig (small, mindless and very hungry/aggressive beasties) that clamps onto the skin with its teeth and is used as a "clip on" hairpiece.

[[AC:{{Webcomics}}]]

* Tammy Lambeau from ''KevinAndKell'' has nice long white hair.

[[AC:Online Games]]
* ''{{Neopets}}'': Most characters from site events have some form of hair, regardless of what their species actually appears to be. To drive the point home, ''there is a fish with a beard'' and a ''penguin with black hair''.
** ''The Darkest Fairy'' VideoGame also has Roberta, the blue-[[strike: furred skinned]]faced [[CatGirl anthropomorphic]] [[MixAndMatchCritters horned cat-creature]], whose hair is long and black.
** Interestingly [[AvertedTrope averted]] with the online pets themselves, however, though wigs let you achieve the same result.

[[AC:WesternAnimation]]

* Daisy Duck from the ClassicDisneyShorts presents something of an odd example, in that she originally didn't have “hair,” but in some recent variations, she's been given something much like this.
* An amphibian example is Ms. {{Frogger}} from ''SaturdaySupercade''.

* Shirley [=McLoon=] from ''TinyToonAdventures'' is another bird example.
* Chanticleer and Goldie from ''RockADoodle''.

* The vultures from ''Disney/TheJungleBook'', who sport [[TheBeatles Beatles]]-style tufts of hair on their heads because they are supposed to be TheBeatles if they were a vulture barbershop quartet. (ValuesDissonance in the animation department...)
* [[ReptilesareAbhorrent Sir Hiss]] from ''Disney/RobinHood'' appears to have three strands of hair sticking out from underneath his hat.
* {{Fish Hooks}}: Of the three characters, Milo the betta fish is the only one who has a dorsal fin on his head. Bea goldfish has long red hair while Oscar the catfish has a full afro - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ff1veTdM-g&feature=player_embedded. In fact alot of the sea characters have hair, including an octopus and a pony-tailed clam.

[[AC:VideoGames]]

[[AC:Films]]
* Beans the desert lizard from {{Rango}} has curly locks of auburn hair. This troper has tried to justify this to herself by reasoning that it's just dried skin shaped and dyed to look like hair. The gunslinger Rattlesnake Jake, on the other hand, has a black mark under his lips that resembles a mustache.
* {{Barnyard}}: The female cows were drawn with much longer head hair (complete with bows) http://www.moviewallpaper.net/w/Barnyard_Wallpaper_6_1280.html to differentiate them from the male cows http://www.moviewallpaper.net/w/Barnyard_Wallpaper_2_1024.html (who, for one reason or another, also had udders) http://www.wallpaperpimper.com/wallpaper/download-wallpaper-Barnyard-size-1280x1024-id-109375.htm.

[[AC:Mythology]]:
* Eastern dragons, being a mish-mash of different animals, were often drawn with flowing beards http://www.draconika.com/chinese.php unlike their western more reptilian counterparts.

----

* ''{{Arthur}}'' actually did this with ''all'' of the non-primate characters(Francine and Muffy, despite both being primates themselves, actually have ''human'' hair on their heads).

* {{Fish Hooks}}: Of the three characters, Milo the betta fish is the only one who has a dorsal fin on his head. Bea goldfish has long red hair while Oscar the catfish has a full afro - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ff1veTdM-g&feature=player_embedded. In fact alot of the sea characters have hair, including an octopus and a pony-tailed clam.

* {{Barnyard}}: The female cows were drawn with much longer head hair (complete with bows) http://www.moviewallpaper.net/w/Barnyard_Wallpaper_6_1280.html to differentiate them from the male cows (who, for one reason or another, also had udders) http://www.wallpaperpimper.com/wallpaper/download-wallpaper-Barnyard-size-1280x1024-id-109375.htm.

* The vultures from ''Disney/TheJungleBook'', who for some reason, sport [[TheBeatles Beatles]]-style tufts of hair on their heads.

* It's common enough for dragons to be depicted with beards. ([[OurDragonsAreDifferent Though there are ways to justify this.]])

Less egregious versions include non-mammals with eyelashes (signifying the wearer is female) or eyebrows (to make humanlike facial expressions).

* The [[OurOrcsAreDifferent Greenskins of]] {{Warhammer Fantasy}} and {{Warhammer 40000}} are naturally hairless, because they're essentially sentient and extremely violent humanoid fungi. Most Greenskin hair is limited to topknots which are explained as being a specialised breed of squig (small, mindless and very hungry/aggressive beasties) that clamps onto the skin with its teeth and is used as a "clip on" hairpiece.

** ''The Darkest Fairy'' VideoGame also has Roberta, the blue-[[strike: furred skinned]]faced [[CatGirl anthropomorpic]] [[MixAndMatchCritters horned cat-creature]], whose hair is long and black.

* The ''[[SuperMario Mario]]'' series does this if a female member of an otherwise assumed to be all-male species is introduced (Kammy and Koopie in the ''PaperMario'' series, for example). Bowser also has hair, as do many of his sons (perhaps ironically, his daughter doesn't). A few characters have moustaches.

* Some reptiles and "mammal-like reptiles" that existed in the Permian and Triassic periods had hair or fur, such as the Triassic period creatures known as cynadonts.

** ''The Darkest Fairy'' VideoGame also has Roberta, the blue-furred [[CatGirl anthropomorpic]] [[MixAndMatchCritters horned cat-creature]], whose hair is long and black.

** ''The Darkest Fairy'' VideoGame also has Roberta, the [[MixAndMatchCritters squid--cat--]]''[[MixAndMatchCritters thing]]'', whose hair is long and black.

Some non mammalian cartoon characters are drawn with what looks to be real hair. This is not real hair because only mammals have real hair. With bird cartoon characters that look like they have hair on head, that "hair" is really feathers that look like hair. Hair is a standard [[TertiarySexualCharacteristics Tertiary Sexual Characteristic]], and therefore if a non-mammal species is depicted with hair it's often only the females.

* Iago, the parrot in ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}, has what appear to be eyebrows.

* Shirley [[=McLoon=]] from ''TinyToonAdventures'' is another bird example.
