12
13	A hero who lives largely in isolation from human civilization in the wild. They have an uncanny [[FriendToAllLivingThings affinity]] with and [[AnimalLover appreciation for]] the local wildlife and can communicate with them easily and have them listen to their requests. This kind of hero spends time helping visitors survive the region and protecting the region and its wildlife from those who would exploit or destroy it. Quite likely to have been RaisedByWolves. Tends to have NoSocialSkills or become a SociallyAwkwardHero if they leave the wilds, as they are simply BetterWithNonHumanCompany. Could be either male or female.
14
15	Sometimes this hero isn't quite as friendly as some others, and openly admits that most people get on his nerves.

17	Often has WildHair, and either dresses in [[PeltsOfTheBarbarian furs]] or {{Garden Garment}}s.

34	[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
35	* ''Manga/BlackGod'' : Kakuma and his twin sister, Makana, are two of the last surviving members of the Hiba Clan of Tera Guardians. Though it's just the two of them, they remain committed to protecting their Clan's Tera Stone and the surrounding forest.
36	* ''Manga/Brave10'': The Sanada ninja leader UsefulNotes/SarutobiSasuke was abandoned in a forest and [[RaisedByWolves lived there]] until UsefulNotes/SanadaYukimura recruited him. He still spends most of his time there.
37	* ''Manga/DeliciousInDungeon'': Senshi lives alone down in the titular dungeon, following a self-sufficient lifestyle hunting, gathering, and farming monsters, only returning to the surface to buy spices for his cooking. He prefers spending time with the fauna than with other people, and is always mindful not to over-forage, lest he disrupt the dungeon’s native ecosystem. However, the monsters of the dungeon still want to kill him. He admires them all the same.
38	* ''Anime/DigimonDataSquad'': Keenan. As an infant, he was accidentally sucked into the Digital World [[spoiler:as a result of being too close to his parents' experimental Digital Gate]]. He was raised by Digimon (most notably Frigimon) to the point of thinking he was one. He sports a "tribal" sort of look, carries a boomerang, and uses HulkSpeak, despite the fact that most Digimon talk normally.
39	* ''Franchise/DragonBall'': The former villain Android 17 has become this by ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'', being a ranger living on a isolated island filled with rare animals. He's the only ranger there, and more than capable of protecting the animals from space poachers.
40	* ''Anime/PrincessMononoke'': San provides the page image, having literally been RaisedByWolves, whom she regards as her family. During the film, she and the Wolf Clan are Eboshi's primary opposition to prevent her from destroying the forests and killing the spirits therein.
41	%%* ''Manga/SaintSeiya'': In the Asgard filler, Albrerich is a Nature Villain.
42	* ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'': [[{{Superhero}} Elemental Hero]] [[{{BFS}} Wild]][[LeeroyJenkins heart]]. All of the Elemental Heroes that Judai uses in the [[Manga/YuGiOhGX manga version]] are commonly referred to as the "Nature Elemental Heroes", although not all of them fit the traditional mold.
43	[[/folder]]
44
45	[[folder:Comic Books]]
46	* ''ComicBook/{{Aquaman}}'''s Golden Age self, when not helping humans or fighting criminals, lived a solitary existence under the sea with fish and other sea creatures for company and wasn't part of any superhero teams like his contemporaries.
47	%%* ''ComicBook/ElfQuest'': Teir is this in relation to the Wolfriders when they first meet him, while the Wolfriders are this in relation to everyone else, particularly humans. Reversed in a one-issue story with Little Patch, a human boy raised by elves in what humans consider to be the wild.%%How do these examples actually fit the trope?
48	* ''Franchise/MarvelUniverse'':
49	** ComicBook/KaZar is a bit of a Tarzan CaptainErsatz (born the son of nobleman Lord Robert Plunder, lost in the jungle and [[RaisedByWolves raised by animals]]) except he was raised by ''sabre-toothed tigers'' and is the resident Nature Hero of the Marvel Universe's LostWorld, the Savage Land.
50	** ComicBook/ShannaTheSheDevil is an interesting case. She's a college graduate and New York zoologist who went to an African nature preserve to raise two orphaned leopards. She got ''very'' into the role (her fur bikini is made from their mother's pelt), started fighting poachers, hooked up with Ka-Zar and is now arguably a bigger Nature Hero than he is.
51	** ''ComicBook/XMen'':
52	*** ''ComicBook/AllNewXMen'' reveals that the Hand has an environmentalist wing... called [[PunnyName the Green Thumb]].
53	*** ''ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}'': Logan was born a rich boy but became an orphan wandering with his sort-of girlfriend before retreating fully into the wilderness after she was killed. He's never lost his bestial side since, except for that one time when a psychic assault reverted his mentality back to that of the little pampered rich boy. He went back to normal after drinking some beer.
54	* ''ComicBook/{{Planetary}}'': Kevin Sack, Lord Blackstock, is a blatant pastiche of Tarzan, with a name riffing on Ka-Zar's (Sack = Plunder). As with everything in ''Planetary'' it gets a bit deconstructed; the ValuesDissonance of the MightyWhitey not having ... relations ... with the locals is [[DeliberateValuesDissonance played up]], and it's implied that he may have had ''less'' of a problem with [[BestialityIsDepraved his animal companions]].
55	* ''ComicBook/Prez1973'': Eagle Free lives at one with nature and understands the ways of animals to the extent that he can tell them what to do. When Prez first encounters him, he's leading a group of forest animals against a corrupt developer's construction machinery.
56	* ''ComicBook/SheenaQueenOfTheJungle'': Sheena is a JunglePrincess who is a FriendToAllLivingThings and fights to defend nature.
57	* ''Franchise/WonderWoman'' [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1942 Vol 1]]: Marya "The Giant Mountain Girl" (she's eight feet tall) is very in tune with and feels connected with nature, having been living a solitary life in the wilderness when she first met Diana. She also does not put up with anyone trying to attack people or abuse nature in her presence.
58	* ''ComicBook/XenozoicTales'': Jack Tenrec is partly this, with shades of ScienceHero (despite his general insistence that science is bad).
59	[[/folder]]
60
61	[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
62	%%* ''Animation/CatCity'': Torzonborz in the sequel.
63	* ''WesternAnimation/QuestForCamelot'' has one of these in the person of Garrett, a blind hermit, complete with a song all about how he's no good with people.
64	[[/folder]]
65
66	[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
67	* ''Film/TheBeastmaster'' lives not just in harmony with animals, he can control them too.
68	%%* ''Film/CrocodileDundee''
69	%%* ''Film/TheHobbit'': Radagast.
70	* ''Film/{{Instinct}}'': Ethan Powell became one of these after he observed a gorilla family for a long time in the wild, leaving behind an estranged daughter.
71	* ''Film/JurassicWorld'': ''Velociraptor''-trainer Owen Grady lives off the grid despite being well-paid at a luxury resort park and has a big dose of NoSocialSkills. His dilapidated trailer/shack implies that he spends far more time at the raptor paddock than at home and every aspect of his life appears to revolve around [[DomesticatedDinosaurs Blue, Delta, Echo, and Charlie]].
72	** In the sequel, Owen is in the process of constructing a second cabin that is fairly isolated in Sierra, Nevada.
73	%%* ''Film/{{Legend\|1985}}'': Tom Cruise as Jack o' the Green. Ironically, he seems to have no idea his forest is full of fairies until after his misguided attempt at romancing a princess backfires catastrophically.
74	* ''Film/{{Maleficent}}'' was once a kind fairy, who lived in the Enchanted Moors, living among the Fair Folk in trees. When her home is threatened by man, she summons warriors made from the forest itself, even a great dragon made of plants. When Maleficent falls to darkness, the woods forms her a throne made from roots and vines. After she turns good again, she gives her crown to Princess Aurora.
75	* ''Film/RunWildRunFree'': Philip feels a deep connection with nature. He's been trying to explore the moors since he could walk, and before he went mute he knew the name of every plant and animal he saw.
76	%%* ''Franchise/{{Tarzan}}'': This is Tarzan in virtually all of his movie portrayals.
77	* ''Film/TheWolverine'': Wolverine is the AntiHero kind. Specifically, he beat the shit out of the hunter who killed his bear friend/companion.
78	[[/folder]]
79
80	[[folder:Literature]]
81	%%* ''Literature/{{Bunduki}}'': Bunduki and Dawn.
82	* ''Literature/DaughterOfTheForest'': Sorcha is a downplayed version of this. She loves nature and likes wandering the forest. But she isn't naturally reclusive except for a few years for a special reason, and her preferred lifestyle is as a TomboyPrincess who likes the forest but lives among humanity.
83	* ''Literature/DeltoraQuest'': Jasmine is constantly described with WildHair. She talks to birds. She was raised by ''trees''. (She can talk to them, too.) She eventually learns to live with humans, but doesn't have much patience for most of them even after falling hard for one.
84	%%* ''Literature/FirekeeperSaga'': Firekeeper was RaisedByWolves.%%And?
85	* ''Literature/{{Hoot}}'': [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname Mullet Fingers]]. He doesn't have egregious amounts of hair growing from his knuckles or anything. He got his nickname by having reflexes fast enough to catch a mullet with his bare hands. He lives in the woods by himself and protects the local wildlife from habitat loss in any way that he can.
86	* ''Literature/TheHouseWithoutWindows'': ChildProdigy Barbara Newhall Follett's novel has a little girl called Eepersip (the name comes from the sound of a birdcall) who ran away from home to "live wild", incidentally gaining [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower almost superhuman abilities]] via lots of dancing, climbing and running around. She manages to evade parental attempts to capture her, [[FriendToAllLivingThings communes with animals]], becomes spiritually attuned to her environment, and finally [[AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence dissolves into a cloud of butterflies]].
87	* ''Literature/TheImmortals'': Daine starts out this way. With her AnimalTalk, she's able to solve a lot of problems with four-legged (or winged) helpers, and she's much more comfortable with animals than she is with people. She's frequently described as being having animal hair, feathers, and occasionally bird crap on her clothes.
88	* ''Literature/RealmOfTheElderlings'': Fitzchivalry Farseer fits this trope for much of his life, having bonded with a wolf and living off the land far away from other humans.
89	* ''Franchise/TolkiensLegendarium'':
90	** Radagast the Brown, one of the five wizards, tends to concern himself far more with the natural world than with the trials of Men and Elves, living in the depths of the forest and speaking with birds and beasts.
91	** ''Literature/TheHobbit'': Beorn, the shapechanging bear-man, is served by animals and lives InHarmonyWithNature.
92	%%** Also, the [[ImmortalImmaturity carefree]] [[AnthropomorphicPersonification Master of the Forest]], Tom Bombadil, and his wife Goldberry, [[NatureSpirit Daughter of the River]].%%Explain.
93	* ''Literature/TreasureAtTheHeartOfTheTanglewood'': Hannah [[FertileFeet influences the seasons by her very presence]], and [[FlowersOfNature grows useful plants in her hair]].
94	* ''Literature/VillainsByNecessity'': Kaylana starts out as this, a {{druid}} who's [[SolitarySorceress all by herself]] in the forest except for her wildcat. She is very protective regarding animals and her kind are dedicated to protecting the balance of things. Because of that being threatened, she has to venture outside on a quest.
95	[[/folder]]
96
97	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
98	* ''Series/KamenRiderAmazon'', who's basically Tarzan if he had super sharp claws that cut into monsters and cause lots of "blood" to fizz out of them.
99	%%* ''Series/TheLifeAndTimesOfGrizzlyAdams'': J.C. "Grizzly" Adams (played by [[WildHair wild-haired]] Dan Haggerty) lives in the wilderness with his pet {{bear\|yFriendly}}.
100	* ''Franchise/PowerRangers'': Maya of ''Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy'' and Cole of ''Series/PowerRangersWildForce''. Both have animal (including animals of the transform-by-magic-into-HumongousMecha sort) communication and [[TheEmpath empathy]] powers ''without'' the [[BlessedWithSuck Deanna Troi head-clutching factor]], as well as high jumping ability and somewhat enhanced strength. Maya's an alien, but Cole's just RuleOfCool-powered.
101	[[/folder]]
102
103	[[folder:Music]]
104	* Music/TheGregoryBrothers: A bizarre example shows up in the yodelling video "Chicken Attack" featuring Takeo Ischi. Takeo is a man in an opera outfit who has "the power of nature and can bend every beast and tree to his will", which he uses to transform chickens into ninja warriors to fight evil ninjas.
105	[[/folder]]
106
107	[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
108	* ''TabletopGame/ArsMagica'': One of the founders of the [[MagicalSociety Order of Hermes]], Merinita, was a shy recluse who [[WalkingTheEarth wandered the wild places of the world]] practicing nature-based magic, and was credited with inventing the {{Familiar}} bond. Although House Merinita's focus shifted towards [[TheFairFolk faeries]], it retains a faction who work to protect the wilderness from human encroachment.
109	* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'':
110	** The druid and ranger classes, and most of their derivatives and enhancements, tend to focus on living InHarmonyWithNature, doing everything alongside their loyal {{Animal Companion}}s, and watching over and protecting the pristine wilderness from evil, undeath and civilization.
111	** In 4th Edition, there's an entire power source (Primal) for NatureHero characters -- shamans, barbarians, druids, and wardens. The [=PHB3=] adds the seeker class, whose skill at ranged weapons invokes the Ranger of earlier editions.
112	** 5th Edition also introduces the "Oath of the Ancients" subclass for Paladins, also known as "[[Literature/SirGawainAndTheGreenKnight Green Knights]]", which is less about seeking out evil on behalf of a god, and more about defending nature from unholy forces.
113	* ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'': Extremely common among Green-aligned heroes and the nicer Green planeswalkers. Summoning token creatures, beefing up creatures, and gaining power/toughness/extra abilities depending on the number of Forests you control are some of the ways this power manifests. [[https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=393894 Garruk Wildspeaker]] is a classic planeswalker example.
114	* ''TableTopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'':
115	** This is generally a common archetype for a number of classes, i.e. the classic druids and rangers, the hunter class that hybridizes them, and the shapeshifting shifters. They typically spend much of their time within the wilderness, live in close contact with animals (druids, rangers and hunters take {{Animal Companion}}s as a class feature), commune with fey and sapient plants and animals, follow the ancient Green Faith and serve as protectors of the wild places of the world.
116	** Chicome couatls live in an endless quest to track down lands where evil, war or pollution have rendered the land corrupt and barren, utilizing their magic to make plants grow, call the animals back, and make the land lush and fertile once again.
117	* ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'':
118	** Imperial Jade and Amber Wizards, who uses the lores of Life and Beasts, tend to lead reclusive lives in the wilderness, speaking with birds and beasts, ensuring the fertility and health of the forest, and protecting the wild from the perverse influence of Chaos.
119	** The Wood Elves, [[BlueAndOrangeMorality for a given definition of "hero"]], are extremely invested in protecting the sanctity of their forest homes and the nature spirits that dwell there.
120	[[/folder]]
121
122	[[folder:Video Games]]
123	* ''VideoGame/{{Avadon}}'': There's no collective Gaia, and none of the animals are very bright, so Shamans rule over nature rather than seeking unity with it. However, the Shaman party member does talk about the importance of protecting nature against the various forces that would corrupt it.
124	* ''Franchise/BaldursGate'': Most ranger and druid characters, including Jaheira, Minsc, Kivan, Valygar and Cernd. Faldorn was this in the first game, but underwent a FaceHeelTurn and became an extremist that ended up doing more damage to her local grove than she was saving it from.
125	* ''Franchise/{{Blazblue}}'': [[KnightTemplar Hakumen]] has a lot of motifs that revolve around nature and the Shinto religion. His attacks are named after flowers and seasons, his crest resembles a nine-tailed fox, he speaks [[AntiquatedLinguistics antiquated Japanese]], and he is generally a firm believer of the GoodOldWays and disdains [[ScienceHero Kokonoe]]'s reliance on technology. [[spoiler:When he finds out she possesses an entire arsenal of nuclear weapons and is willing to use them, [[EvenEvilHasStandards he loses it and chews her out]], saying he considers them even worse than the [[EldritchAbomination Black Beast]].]]
126	* ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes'' features The Woodsman, who can control plants and summon animals to fight for him. His evil [[AlternateUniverse Praetorian]] version is Shadowhunter, who can turn his skin to stone and is super strong, while commanding large packs of werewolves.
127	* ''VideoGame/DCUniverseOnline'': The Nature power set turns the PlayerCharacter that uses it into a NatureHero, at least in terms of powers. One of its skill sets allows the player to [[{{Animorphism}} turn into different types of animals]] and the other [[GreenThumb grants control of plants]].
128	* ''VideoGame/DiabloII'' gives us the Druid class, who fights with the summoned spirits of plants and animals, elemental attacks of wind or fire, or by shapeshifting himself into a wolf or bear.
129	* ''VideoGame/Dota2'' has quite a selection of these:
130	** Aiushtha the Enchantress is a gentle [[OurCentaursAreDifferent doe-centaur]] who embodies nature's kindness.
131	** Karroch the Beastmaster is a rugged warrior who SpeaksFluentAnimal and obviously fits TheBeastmaster trope, using his hawk and boar alongside two small axes.
132	** Rooftrellen the Treant Protector, a huge [[WhenTreesAttack living tree]] with GreenThumb powers and who gains bonuses near trees.
133	** Nature's Prophet was born from a seed left by the earth goddess Verodicia as her final act. He keeps stewardship over the forest, being able to teleport around via a blooming flower, summon trees to block enemies, and bring the trees to life to fight for him.
134	** Sylla, the Lone Druid, was tasked with protecting the Seed, which is prophesized to bring nature back to its former glory one day. He's accompanied by his pet bear, who has GreenThumb powers, and can turn into a bear himself.
135	** Hoodwink grew up in a forest, until it got razed by the neighboring kingdom. After scavenging a crossbow, she's basically become some kind of eco-terrorist, killing the people who threaten her homeland.
136	** Leshrac is a Nature ''Villain'', being the embodiment of GaiasVengeance [[GoMadFromTheRevelation gone wrong]].
137	* ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'': Morrigan is an UnscrupulousHero version. She grew up in the swamplands, and found peace in living amongst the animals for short periods of time when not with her mother, and yet she lacks any sort of compassion for anything, will not hesitate to kill things that stand in her way, and strongly upholds her mother's SocialDarwinist beliefs.
138	* ''VideoGame/{{Extrapower}}'': Hero Zophy, whose adventures usually take him through the wilderness. He exists as part of nature enough that, [[VideoGame/ExtrapowerGiantFist when a cursed bracelet made every animal in range rampage]], his attacks would merely [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan wake them up to run away safely]], a courtesy not granted to his human enemies. He even knows some of the wild animals by name and doesn't need to think about it when his friends ask him to go easy on them.
139	* ''VideoGame/FreedomForce'' has Eve, a skilled archer who has limited control over plants and animals, and can hypnotize people with a kiss.
140	* ''VideoGame/{{Growl}}'': You are a ranger from the World Animal Protection Society, protecting the wildlife of early 20th century Africa from evil poachers and an alien from VideoGame/{{Darius}}. And your animal friends appreciate what you're doing and will occasionally help you out, such as a massive elephant ramming a tank to take it out, so you can beat up the emerging driver.
141	* ''VideoGame/{{Kamiko}}'': Uzume is described by the game's manual as living "deep within a remote forest" and is stated to be capable of empathizing with plants.
142	* ''VideoGame/KnuckleHeads'': Claudia Silva is a more mundane example (appearing so at first). She is an ecologist who has entered the tournament in order to win the prize of ten billion dollars towards protecting the Amazon Rainforest. Her ending in the game gives her a cryptic epilogue stating that "She disappeared into the Amazon and was never seen again. Maybe she was just the spirit of [the] great Amazon itself?" Thus, it is [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane deliberately vague]] as to how far this archetype applies to her.
143	* ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' has Udyr, who has the appearance of a WildMan (dresses in animal pelts) and the living in isolation part of the trope. Rather than an animal companion, he has four NatureSpirit stances he can rapidly switch between in combat. His lore paints him in a more heroic light, using the animal spirits to preserve the balance of nature and to protect his homeland.
144	* ''VideoGame/ThePath'': Ginger seems to greatly prefer playing in the forest to listening to her family or visiting her grandmother. Her sister Rose is also enchanted by the forest's natural beauty, and talks a lot about how at home she feels there.
145	* ''VideoGame/{{Ryzom}}'': The Zoraï have this as a racial trait, though being in a world without a single scrap of metal (that's not in the hands of an off-world HigherTechSpecies) tends to give this feeling to everyone.
146	* ''VideoGame/SamuraiShodown'': Nakoruru and her sister Rimururu. Downplayed in that, although they're very much aware that they fight for the preservation of nature, they're much more intelligent and aware of the outside world.
147	* ''VideoGame/{{Shadowverse}}'' has Arisa. Her Forestcraft class is centered around this theme and has cards based around forest animals, elves and fairies. In addition, she is being trained as a guardian of the forest.
148	* ''VideoGame/{{Silverfall}}'': In the game you must eventually align yourself either with forces sympathetic to either Nature or Technology. Doing so will grant you magic appropriate to whichever force you champion. If you align with Nature, you're essentially a druid.
149	* ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' started as this, although he embraced technology more and more as the series progressed. He is still a nomadic character who disdains Dr. Eggman's work, however.
150	* ''VideoGame/SuikodenII'' has [[CountryMouse Kinnison]], who can be recruited in the forest outside Ryukei Village, and [[BraidsBeadsAndBuckskins Ayda]], who hails from the Forest Village. Both archers have [[FriendToAllLivingThings close ties to nature]] and are committed to defending their respective woodlands. So [[StealthPun it's only natural]] that they took a liking to each other; particularly during the best ending, where it's possible to get a bonus scene [[spoiler: by recruiting Muku-Muku and the other 4 squirrels]]. Ayda makes a surprise visit to Kinnison's forest, causing him to become [[CrushBlush nervous and blush.]]
151	* ''VideoGame/TwilightHeroes'': The Naturalist, although operating in primarily an urban environment, is capable of taming rather than defeating their foes, and uses skills inspired by animals (from such staples as wolves and sharks, to more obscure choices such as echidnas and starfish).
152	* ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}}'' has Rexxar, a Mok'nathal (half-orc, half-ogre) beastmaster, who vastly prefers the company of his many animals to that of the rest of the Horde.
153	* ''[[VideoGame/WarhammerDarkOmen Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat]]'': The Skaven Warlock, Thanquol has been messing around with the unholy substance warpstone. This angers the neighborhood Amber wizard, Allor. Amber wizards are the setting's version of druids for humans and Allor will use his magic to aid the Grudgebringers mercenary company, but only to fight on behalf of nature so he won't take any of your gold.
154	[[/folder]]
155
156	[[folder:Web Comics]]
157	* ''Webcomic/KissWood'': Sul becomes one with the help of Ahbon. Originally a NatureLover, Sul is transported to an endless and hostile forest and he learns to adapt to survive. He already had the WildHair, to begin with.
158	[[/folder]]
159
160	[[folder:Web Original]]
161	* ''Literature/{{Ketrin}}'': Ketrin is telepathically linked to his wolflike companions and wants to save both wolves and humanity from an evil force -- when he isn't being [[TakenForGranite worshiped as a paralyzed idol]], that is.
162	[[/folder]]
163
164	[[folder:Web Videos]]
165	* ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'': Keyleth, as is to be expected of a Druid. Contrasts her with her Foil and best friend, ScienceHero Percy.
166	[[/folder]]
167
168	[[folder:Western Animation]]
169	%%* ''WesternAnimation/BaldmoneySneezewortDodderAndCloudberry'': The gnomes forage for everything they need in the forest.
170	%%* ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'': Tigatron and Airazor.
171	* In ''WesternAnimation/FlipperAndLopaka'', Lopaka is a downplayed example. He lives in huts with his tribe, but spends most of his time in the sea, using magic to talk to its wildlife and swim deep enough to explore the sunken city of Quetzo. His work- [[ConditionalPowers which he must never tell a human about]]- involves cutting illegally large nets, keeping the octopus tyrant Dexter from power, and fulfilling prophecies made during the golden age when ''everyone'' could breathe underwater.
172	%%* ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983'': Moss Man. Beast Man is a villainous example.
173	%%* ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs'': Wild Smurf.
174	* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': [[Characters/FriendshipIsMagicFluttershy Fluttershy]] lives on the edge of the woods, has a special talent for communicating with animals, greatly prefers the company of animals to that of intelligent beings, and has saved the lives of her friends and other ponies by using her talent on a number of occasions.
175	%%* ''WesternAnimation/GeorgeOfTheJungle'': The titular hero is a comedic example.
