* ''WesternAnimation/OutOfTheInkwell'': Koko the Clown looks more realistic compared to the cartoony cast of Fleischer's works. Justified because he was rotoscoped.

** Squidward doesn't look much like a squid at all, and WordOfGod is that, despite his name, he's actually an octopus. With six legs. So he's apparently a hexopus. What's interesting is that his relatives and Squilliam are also hexopuses.

** Squidward doesn't look much like a squid at all, and WordOfGod is that, despite his name, he's actually an octopus. With six legs. So he's apparently a hexopus. What's interesting is that (and by extension his relatives and Squilliam are also hexopuses. Squilliam) looks more humanoid and intricate compared to the cutesy, fairly simplistic designs of the other characters. This is especially jarring when compared to other octopuses and squids, who look more like what you'd expect them to.

** In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS7E19ToChangeAChangeling To Change a Changeling]]", Thorax's brother Pharynx had a purple shell, violet eyes and red crest and tail instead of the changelings' standard blue-and-cyan color scheme, and is the only changeling to do so. Even after he transforms into a more typical "bug-horse", he still retains a much darker color scheme than the other changelings.
