* ''Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid'': Both Tohru's father and Lucoa have manes in their dragon forms. Dragonewt's semi-humanoid form also has hair closer to what you'd expect for a human.

* ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'':

** Some male examples exist too. Ludwig von Drake has a fringe of hair, giving the impression that he's bald (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.[[note]] Oddly, Glomgold only has a hairy beard in the animated series ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987''; in [[http://coa.inducks.org/character.php?c=FLG&view=2 the comics.]] It's the same color as his feathers.[[/note]] In ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987'', Launchpad [=McQuack=] has a red forelock peeking out from his aviator's cap; whether the rest of his head is drawn with hair or white feathers varies from episode to episode.

* In Armenian folklore dragons (called vishaps) tended to have lion-like manes. One story involves a vishap tricking a boy into picking out the lice from its hair so that he can eat the boy.
* It's common for Asian dragons, who are more or less universally described as great reptilian serpents, to be depicted with furry manes and whiskers.
* The [[FearsomeCrittersOfAmericanFolklore fur-bearing trout]] is a [[FearsomeCrittersOfAmericanFolklore fearsome critter]] from U.S. and Icelandic folklore. The American tale would have it as a breed of trout that supposedly grew a thick coat of fur to ward off the cold, while the Icelandic version is a poisonous fish sent to swarm rivers as a punishment for human wickedness. The legend is thought to have originated as a result of certain parasitic molds that infect fish and make them seem to have grown hair or fur.
* Any mammalian/bird hybrid such as [[http://witchwarrior101.blogspot.com/2010/03/gryphon-vs-hippogryph.html hippogriffs or griffins]].
* [[http://www.rickveitch.com/2008/08/01/snakes-on-a-mane/ Medusa is an inversion of this]], being a mammal(ish creature) with reptiles for hair.

* In ''FanFic/TaylorVarga'', Taylor initially tries to give her Saurial lizard-girl form human hair (her hair being the one thing about her appearance she really likes) but quickly finds that it both looks weird and tends to get caught in her scales. She settles for giving herself a crest of feathers shaped to suggest hair.

* ''VideoGame/MortalKombat'' 's [[LizardFolk Khameleon]] has long (semi-invisible, like the rest of her) hair. Interestingly, her male race-mates Reptile and Chameleon are either hairless or have a serious kase of [[CompressedHair Kompressed Hair]].

** Some of the female ducks 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 Depending On The Colorist]].

%%* ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'': Filbert Turtle and Bev Bighead.

%%* ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'': Shirley [=McLoon=] is another bird example.

* Terrestrial arthropods often have short hairs as sensory equipment. Some look downright fluffy, such as tarantulas and bumblebees.

* The later mammal-like reptiles (synapsids) are thought to have been hairy. Seeing as the mammals evolved from them, it's not really surprising - hair is just modified scales, so, naturally, it evolved somewhat earlier than mammary glands.
** Birds and modern reptiles evolved from a different group of proto-reptiles. Synapsids and Sauropsids have different skull structures. Mammals evolved from Synapsids while birds and reptiles evolved from Sauropsids.

* Possibly due as a case of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergent_evolution convergent evolution]], several land arthropods -- bees, moths, and tarantulas come to mind -- have what appear to be hair on their bodies, although it's made from a different protein (chitin) than mammalian hair (alpha keratin).

* The later mammal-like reptiles (synapsids) are thought to have been hairy. Seeing as the mammals evolved from them, it's not really surprising - apparently hair just evolved somewhat earlier than mammary glands.

* Several insects (for example, many bee species) have what appear to be hair on their bodies, although it's made from a different protein (chitin) than mammalian hair (alpha keratin).

* Averted in PBS' ''WesternAnimation/ElinorWondersWhy'', where the title character has black hair and she is a rabbit.

** ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyAndFriends'': Crank, Squirk's lobster minion, sports a pair of thick and bushy white brows, made all the more impressive by the fact that lobsters don't normally have hair of any sort.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
** The {{Sea Serpent|s}} Stephen Magnet sports lovingly coiffed cranial and facial hair, to the point that half of his moustache being cut off is a minor plot point.

* ''VideoGame/MortalKombat'' 's [[LizardFolk Khameleon]] has long (semi-invisible, like the rest of her) hair. Interestingly, her male race-mates Reptile and Chameleon are either hairless or have a serious kase of [[HammerspaceHair kompressed hair]].
