The only Carnivorans who are larger are elephant seals who can be ''far'' more aggressive and the next smaller of the family are leopard seals and large sea lions which can be ''even worse''. Wild walrus are usually ambivelant towards humans or move away if they get close.

Walruses don't seem to have a clear-cut [[AnimalStereotypes stereotype]] of their own. While it's usually agreed that walrus characters should be big, fat, and lazy, their moral standing tends to vary. While some works [[WilyWalrus portray walruses as villains]], this page is for walruses who are depicted more positively.
There are quite a few reasons why they are portrayed this way. Most notably, their big, blubbery appearance seems to indicate BigFun, in the same vein as hippos and [[BearyFriendly bears]]. It helps that RealLife walruses are ''far'' less dangerous to humans than those other animals are, preferring to slip away rather than attack when threatened.
Another factor in their portrayal as heroes may have something to do with the fact that they are related to seals, which are almost universally loved due to their cuteness and playfulness. Walruses may be seen in a similar way, albeit more placid and less energetic.
In works that do not aim for realism, Warm-Hearted Walruses tend to differ in physical appearance from real ones. For one thing, they may be portrayed as smaller and softer-looking, with much smoother skin. Their most notable features, the tusks, are much smaller and rounded than they would be in real life. Instead of a walrus' dull pinkish-brown skin, a friendly walrus is given a [[AmazingTechnicolorWildlife brighter, more lively color like blue or purple]].
