History Main / NonmammalianHair

** Pterosaurs possessed hair-like plumage that was neither fur or feathers, but a completely different covering called pynofibers.

* In ''Animation/MoonCastleTheSpaceAdventure'' from the ''Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf'' series, the Bitter Gourd King has four Super Gourd Shock Troopers assisting him. One of them, the watermelon Shock Trooper, has a head of black hair.

* ''{{Franchise/Barbie}}:

* ''Franchise/{{Splatoon}}'':
** Played with. Inklings are evolved versions of squids, and their hair are really stylized tentacles. The same applies to Octolings.
** ''VideoGame/Splatoon2'' plays this trope straight with the Salmonids, many of which have mohawks.

* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'': The trolls. [[RubberForeheadAliens They look like humans with horns and gray skin]], but it's implied by their bizarre life cycle and a few references to their physiology that they're closer to insects. This doesn't prevent them from having hair -- long, flowing locks of it, even, in some cases.

* Jazz Amun from ''VideoGame/JitsuSquad'' is an andromorphic [[FrogMen frog-man]] sporting an afro, for some reason.

* ''VideoGame/{{Splatoon}}'':

* TruthInTelevision: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiwa_hirsuta Kiwa hirsuta,]] the yeti lobster. Although it isn't fur (which is dead), it's actual setae to filter poisonous chemicals from the water of its deep-sea-vent home.
* The later mammal-like reptiles (synapsids) are thought to have been hairy. Seeing as the mammals evolved from them, it's not really surprising. Besides, hair is just modified scales, so it's natural it evolved earlier than mammary glands.
* 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.
** Simple feathers are VERY hair like (the "eyelashes" of birds such as ostriches). Seeing that was one of the earliest stages of feather evolution, it is very probable some dinosaurs looked somewhat hairy rather than downy or feathered.
** Anurognathid pterosaurs took this to the extreme, having pycnofibrils (the "pterosaur fur") even on the wing membranes.
** It has been argued that notosuchians, a group of extinct crocodyllians, might have had whiskers or whisker-like scales.
* The [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hairy_Frog Hairy Frog]]. It's not actually hair and is in fact living tissue containing blood vessels (and grows only on males). They act as makeshift gills by allowing oxygen from water to diffuse right into the arteries; a useful ability for a father frog that has to sit underwater for long periods guarding his eggs.
* Terrestrial arthropods often have short hairs as sensory equipment, although it's made from a different protein (chitin) than mammalian hair (alpha keratin). Still, some even look downright fluffy, such as tarantulas and bumblebees.
* It's obviously ''not'' hair, but the Bearded Dragon, an agamid lizard that's popular as a pet, got its name because [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin it looks like it has a beard]] made of spiky scales.
* Some ambush-predatory fishes, such as deep-sea anglers and frogfish, have hair-like filaments sprouting from their surface as camouflage and/or sensory appendages. Bottom-scrounging fish species such as catfish or loaches likewise use dangling facial barbels to probe the mud beneath them for food, which can look like they're dragging whiskers through the muck.
* Check out the 'do [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UklNjI3jRqA on the white duck!]]
* Silkies are a breed of chicken whose feathers grow in such a way that they look far more like fluffy hair. Very adorable. Not very practical when it rains.

[[RubberForeheadAliens They look like humans with horns and gray skin]], but it's implied by their bizarre life cycle and a few references to their physiology that they're closer to insects.

** Slinkman (a slug) was drawn with poofy orange hair in a flashback, but in the present day he has no hair at all.

** Filburt the turtle sometimes has hair and all three of the Bigheads (who are toads) are drawn with hair. Ed's hair is pretty wispy, though.

* ''WesternAnimation/ElinorWondersWhy'': Most characters are animals, and some have hair, such as Elinor Rabbit herself.

** ''WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook'': The vultures, who sport [[Music/TheBeatles Beatles]]-style mops of hair on their heads because they are supposed to be Music/TheBeatles if they were a vulture barbershop quartet. (ValuesDissonance in the animation department...)
** ''WesternAnimation/RobinHood'': Sir Hiss appears to have three strands of hair sticking out from underneath his hat as well as a few ruffles of fur on his cheeks.

** Filbert Turtle sometimes has hair and all three of the Bigheads (who are toads) are drawn with hair. Ed's hair is pretty wispy, though.
** One episode featured a ''ringworm'' with a full head of hair under his cap.

* ''WesternAnimation/CampLazlo'': Gretchen has blonde hair despite being an alligator.

%%* ''WesternAnimation/CatDog'': Lola (a bird).%%What about her?

* ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'': Filbert Turtle sometimes has hair and Bev Bighead is a frog with a red beehive hairdo.

** In "The Two Faces of Squidward," Squidward has ''chest hair'' at his "handsomest", despite being ''an octopus''. Or [[InformedSpecies something resembling one]].
** A lot of the other undersea characters have hair at some point. It's implied that Spongebob has always had hair but he keeps it very short because he likes it that way.

* ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'': Roz is a large garden snail-like monster with a tuft of white hair on her head. Also, some of the monsters, whether resembling either toads, slugs, or octopi, will inevitably have some form of hair on their heads.
