Characters who are a Little Bit Beastly in Video Games.


  • 100% Orange Juice: QP, Yuki, Aru and Marie Poppo all have at least ears of different animals. This is lampshaded by one Extra Scenario map called "Midnight = Kemonomimi" featuring QP, Yuki and Aru as your opponents.
  • Absented Age: Squarebound: The Loup-garou enemy can inflict Beastized on Karen, which causes her to grow wolf ears. The ailment boosts her speed, but lowers her DEX and prevents her from using items.
  • Konoha of Arcana Heart is a dog-girl Ninja. Akane and Nazuna Inukawa are also dog-girls.
  • Arknights runs the gamut.
    • The majority of the various races inhabiting Terra generally look like humans with animal features (usually ears and tails). Each of these races is based on a different animal: Felines are Cat Folk, Perro are dog people, etc. A few characters are Beast Men instead, which is determined more by Artist Appeal than anything in-universe.
    • Some of the animal influences take on more mythological motifs as well. For example, some Kuranta (horse people) who come from the country of Kazimierz have mythical horses like the Pegasus or Unicorn as their animal motif, and some Liberi (bird people) draw upon mythical avians (i.e. Fiametta and the Phoenix, Archetto and the Griffin, etc). Several races also have draconic elements to them, such as the Draco (western dragons), Voiuvre (wyverns), and Lung (eastern dragons).
    • Some have no outward animal traits at all, like the Aegir who are based around aquatic animals but (sometimes) don't have outward aquatic traits. Those that do have aquatic traits often manifest them in nonconventional ways, such as Kirara (based around the mimic octopus and sprouting tentacles) or Highmore (based around sea coral and having coral growths emerging from her arms and head).
    • On the other end of the spectrum are beings like Emperor, who is just a slightly anthropomorphic penguin.
  • Artery Gear: Fusion: Many Artery Gears have animal attributes. These include foxes (Sirius), cats (Morris) and rabbits (Cream).
  • A brief summary of all the Beast Men in BlazBlue is worth adding here, as well. They run the gamut from Funny Animals to humans with the ears-and-tail conceits; in order from most to least beast-like, they are: Jubei, the world's strongest warrior; the Kaka clan, including Taokaka; Half-Human Hybrid and Mad Scientist Kokonoe; and the squirrel Genki Girl Makoto. In the stage backgrounds one can also see one Falcon Man, a Canine Boy, and a Goat Person, and there are many other types out there, or so we're told, and they are, for the most part, the target of Fantastic Racism. Newcomer Kagura Mutsuki has a special match intro where he's shown flirting with a random girl, and one of them is a real fox. No, literally. The girl in question has a fox tail.
  • Breath of Fire has them in every game of the franchise.
    • The entire Wydian/Windian tribe from the Breath of Fire series, which sport wings in the first, second, and fourth games.
    • In Breath of Fire IV, there's a bit of Lineage Decay as well (it's implied the Wyndians could once do extended powered flight). Then again, in IV the Wyndians (and every other race on the planet) were specifically adopted by Endless and mutated based on the aspect of the god in question.
    • Breath of Fire IV has an entire sub-race of the Grassrunner clan (which also includes wolf/dog people) as kitsune. Ursula and Yuna are the only two you run into to a great extent.
    • Momo from Breath of Fire III. Her ears resemble a rabbit, but according to Capcom, she's a small part Grassrunner Clan (the same clan as Bow from Breath of Fire 2, in which he's an anthropomorphic dog).
    • Scias from Breath of Fire IV is also part of this. The Grassrunner clan is best known for their healing abilities (Bow is arguably the best healer in the second game, and Momo and Scias are both good auxiliary healers. In fact, most players of Breath of Fire III use Momo as their healer, despite the fact that main character Ryu has far better healing magics, usually because they prefer to save his AP for his dragon transformations).
      Per Capcom, Scias is actually from the same clan Ursula is from (no matter that Ursula is a Fox Person; perhaps it's a sub-race, or the result of a lot of intermarriage with humans).
    • One of the few examples from Dragon Quarter is Cupid (a dog-person).
    • Hortensia from Dragon Quarter.
    • Breath of Fire has monkeys, too. Most notable in II with the Highlander Clan, and per Capcom also in IV.
    • Bleu/Deis in I-III resembles a nagini (female naga) and in III is revealed to be a Physical God.
    • In IV, Fou-lu and Deis (who are both summoned dragon-gods, and have horns and pointed ears as a sign of their status). There are also variants of this with the older Dragon Gods' avatars which get very bizarre very quickly...
    • In Dragon Quarter, technically Elyon would count as a version of this due to merging with Odjn then breaking the link when he refused to open the way to the sky because he worried about endangering the underground enclave all of humanity was living in; he is left with stigmata of circuit-like lines on his face and horns, appearing very much like an Expy of Fou-lu in fact.
    • Breath of Fire has a tribe of fish men in the first game and frog men in the second.
    • II and III infamously had an example of a Plant Person (Spar and Peco when he attacks).
  • Bullet Girls Phantasia has Merrina Iris, a cat girl. Her animal features frequently become the object of obsession of many characters, to her dismay.
  • Bunny of Bunny Must Die happened to be your everyday bunny girl until she happened just a bit too close to a catular explosion, which gave her a pair of cat ears. Yes, she's both bunny and cat, much to her chagrin. Cat deaths of any kind in that world have a similar effect on their killers, but it doesn't work on those already affected.
    Nuko du Maron a.k.a. Kitty: I curse you!
    Bunny: I am already cursed!
  • Chicken Police: Characters have human bodies with animal heads, and maybe a tail. Humans are mythical creatures.
  • Chrono Cross: Janice is a very lovable, "big-boned" bunnygirl monster tamer, and requires a good deal of effort to acquire as one needs to win three rounds via using monsters to battle her own monster groups instead of your own party members, and you need to choose different monsters for each round, good luck.
  • The "puffle creatures" in Club Penguin are basically the resident Ridiculously Cute Critter but with appendages of real-life animals. Players were able to tramsform into some kinds, and there are two kinds that can be kept as a pet.
  • Colorgrave Universe: In the world of Ledamra (first introduced in Curse Crackers: For Whom The Belle Toils), those who were gifted by the Scales have some sort of distinguishing physical features (aside from their pointy ears). The Hearthen have rabbit ears (replacing the pointy ears that all other gifted have), the Mournlen have sharp teeth and spikes in their hairstyles that resemble fins, the Loren have antlers that grow in at a certain age, and the Gazen have tails that look like those of a lizard's. The Oathen and Forgen don't have any animal-like features, though, and the Graven are an odd case because their Scale didn't stick to a specific formula when she created them.
  • The text based porn game Corruption of Champions has various animal-morph items that change the human Player Character into whatever animal-morph the item is based on such as whisker fruits for cats, canine peppers for dogs, and Equinum for horse-morphs. Ingesting a few of these will give the PC into a animal-boy/girl (at least at first). Several Nonstandard Game Over sequences can result if you ingest too much of any given item, where you undergo a permanent Forced Transformation.
  • Cross Wiber: Cyber Combat Police for the PC Engine has a Boss Battle with a pink bunny-eared girl in shining armor named Kazuko who summons pink bunnies.
  • Crush Crush: Bearverly's human form and DLC girls Quillzone, Catara, Tessa, and Suzu are all human girls with animal ears and tails.
  • Dandelion revolves around a girl finding two cats and three rabbits in a basket who later transform into attractive men with cat or rabbit ears respectively.
  • Crossbreed Priscilla from Dark Souls is half-dragon, half-god. The result is an immensely tall (like 20-25 feet) White-Haired Pretty Girl either draped in a long white furry robe, or covered with long white fur, with a long fur-covered tail poking out the back and a small pattern of white scales or horns just above her eyes. She's surprisingly sweet-tempered (the only boss in the game you have to attack before she'll try to hurt you), but if you do challenge her then she'll use her Sinister Scythe to show you why she was sealed away by the gods.
  • Darkstalkers: Vampire Saviour has Q-Bee, a bee-woman. Note that she's actually a lot more inhuman than she appears at a glance; the large pretty eyes set in her face are useless fakes used as a distraction and her actual eyes are the large compound clusters on top of her head next to her antennae (which is why her stance has her head hanging down "looking" at the ground, with the top of her head pointing towards her opponent). Oh and she also eats human souls.
  • Disgaea:
    • Fenrich from Disgaea 4 combines the Pointy Ears and Cute Little Fangs most demons have with a tail and a mane of Wild Hair, thus giving him a more lupine appearance.
    • Disgaea 5 brings us Usalia, herself a member of the wererabbit race. True to form, she has a pair of rabbit ears atop her head, albeit covered by earmuffs.
  • The Sylvans from Dragalia Lost are a forest dwelling race that resemble humans with rabbit ears.
  • In The Elder Scrolls series, the Khajiit race has 17 known sub-species, who range in appearance from house cats, through a number of cat-man variations, to full on giant tigers who can be ridden as steeds in battle. Of them, the Ohmes and Ohmes-raht sub-species have light fur and, in the latter's case, a tail, but are otherwise completely humanoid, so much so that they're often mistaken for Bosmer (Wood Elves). In order to avoid being mistaken as one of the Bosmer, many Ohmes tattoo their faces to resemble a feline-aspect. The Ohmes and Ohmes-Raht are the most common form seen outside of their home province of Elsweyr, taking advantage of other races' preference to their appearance to serve in positions of ambassadorship and trade. Ohmes-raht is in fact the sub-species seen in Arena and Daggerfall.
  • Eastern Exorcist has the hulijing, Xiaoyu, who usually appears as a young teenage girl with short black hair, fox-ears, and a tail.
  • Exorcist Fairy have you playing another humanoid hulijing who still looks mostly human, save for having fox-ears.
  • Caster, from Fate/EXTRA, due to her being a Kitsune. Lancer from Fate/Extra CCC has a dragon's horns and tail.
  • Feathery Ears: Misa Nikko has Ear Wings and a big bright blue tail.
  • The Final Fantasy series has a few:
    • The Genomes from Final Fantasy IX have monkey tails.
    • Final Fantasy Tactics Advance introduced the Viera, a race of bunny-women.
    • Final Fantasy Tactics A2 adds the Gria, a race of dragon girls with the appropriate horns, wings, and tail.
    • Final Fantasy XIV has the feline Mi'qote (who have appropriate ears, tail, and in the case of the Sunseeker tribe, slitted pupils), along with the dragon-like Au Ra (who have horns, draconic tails, and patches of scales on their bodies).
  • Fire Emblem:
    • Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn have shapeshifting races collectively called Laguz, with the Beast, Bird, and Wolf tribes retaining a few animal features in their humanoid forms.
    • The Taguel from Fire Emblem: Awakening are rabbit-like, and are implied to be an offshoot of the Laguz. Panne (the first one you meet, and Last of Their Kind) has fur on large portions of her body (most notably her lower torso - she's not wearing pants) and has ears she keeps curled around themselves with metal rings; one bit of dialogue from her notes that she pretends to have buckteeth because it makes humans more comfortable. Her Kid from the Future, Yarne, is more obviously lapine, having large bunny ears.
    • Fire Emblem Fates has the Kitsune and Wolfskin tribes, who can transform into foxes and wolves respectively, and retain the ears and tails in their humanoid forms.
  • In Genshin Impact, a number of characters have animal traits.
    • In Mondstadt, there's the Katzlein bloodline (known members: Diona, Draff), who have cat ears and tails. Sucrose has downward-pointing ears mostly hidden by her hair, but no tail, and her research indicates that she and Diona don't share ancestry.
    • In Liyue, Ganyu and Yanfei are both half-adepti. Their heritage gives both of them horns.
    • Inazuma's Yae Miko appears as a pink-haired woman with fox ears. She hides her tails, as a kitsune, but they appear during combat.
    • Sumeru has sharp-tongued Tighnari, a Forest Watcher who has long fox ears and a tail.
  • Golden Sun: Dark Dawn.
    • Most beastfolk can be identified immediately as cats, dogs, pigs, squirrels, wolves, etc., but Sveta is just... furry. She's actually pretty human-looking compared to other beastfolk. Tyrell calls her a "kitty-dog" at first sight, and her beast form is generally wolfish. It's possible that she's meant to be at least part deer, though, since she's nicknamed "The White Deer".
    • Her brother King Volechek Czamaral also has unidentifiable animal features, albeit with more obvious fur and a pronounced muzzle.
    • One theory that's been suggested is that their parents were beastfolk of different animal types and produced mongrel offspring.
  • Granblue Fantasy has the Erunes, a race of humanoids with animal ears. While their ears are usually similar to those of cats or foxes, tails are rare and an indicator of ancient royalty.
  • Helix Waltz has the Oren, a race of small, childlike humanoids with animal ears and tails.
  • Some human characters in I Was a Teenage Exocolonist have Bio-Augmentations that give them animal body parts, such as Rex having dog ears, Utopia having tiger paws for feet, and Nougat having a tail.
  • League of Legends:
    • Ahri the Nine-Tailed Fox, is a Kumiho (a Korean varient of the Kitsune). She has fox ears sticking up through her hair, and nine tails, but is otherwise a very attractive young woman.
    • The Vastaya (magical shapeshifter race) in general can range between this (e.g. Ahri, Rakan, Xayah) and Beast Man (Rengar, Wukong), with some capacity to shapeshift between those forms. One is even a mermaid (Nami).
    • Xayah and Rakan have a relatively unique take: namely, they're bird-people with bird feet, wing-like "capes", and feathers. They, Xayah particularly, use their magically enhanced feathers to fight.
  • Almost the entire cast of Legend of Mana falls into this in some way or other. There are anthropomorphic snakes, birds, cats, monkeys, and teapots.
  • Medli, Komali, and the rest of the Rito of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. Their wings are unique in that they protrude from their forearms instead of their backs (a little more anatomically believable), and have an appearance similar to the sleeves of a cloak when the Rito is not in flight. They also have beak-like noses and bird-like feet. This was changed for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, where they are more straightforward Bird People instead.
  • Lonely Wolf Treat: Treat, Mochi, and Moxie are basically human except for having animal ears and tails of a Wolf, a Bunny, and a Fox, respectively.
  • maimai, as of Milk, added several mascots to the game menus that are of this trope.
  • Yumi Fukuzawa, from the Light Novel Maria Watches Over Us, appears in the doujin Fighting Game Maribato! as a playable character: Yumi's style consists in that she temporarily grows tanuki ears and a tail, which she uses to slap opponents. And one of her supers has her spinning in mid-air while turning red, and ram her opponent with a powerful tail slap. In a possible reference to Super Mario Bros. 3, she can also float in the air while waving her tail.
  • Kala, the shopkeeper who makes daily deals with you in Merge Dragons, is a lady with fox ears and a tail.
  • Metaloid Origin: The titular Metaloids are a race of Ambiguous Robots with lion/cat ears. One of the protagonists, Neva, wears a pink helmet with jet thrusters that resemble rabbit ears.
  • Mischief Makers: Merco is clearly based on some kind of bird, Lunar is a wolf man and Tarus is based on a gorilla, although the resemblance is subtler than it is for the other Beastector members.
  • Muramasa: The Demon Blade has two inari named Kongiku and Yuzuruha. They're actually foxes in human form and have fox ears, as well as pale white skin.
  • Princess Fuse from Ōkami sports a pair of black dog ears, likely due to her connection with the Satome Canine Warriors. Additionally, Queen Otohime of the Dragon Palace retains her dragon form's fins on her humanoid head, and residents of Wep'keer bear traits relevant to their canine transformations, namely their clothes and masks.
  • NOISZ has Noise Beasts who commonly appear as this when purified, or when in their own world.
  • Octopath Traveler II has the entire beastling race, who are human-like characters with the ears and tails of animals, usually those of a fox. One of the eight Travelers is a beastling, that being Ochette, the Hunter.
  • Onmyoji has several examples such as the Kitsune characters Yōko, Sanbi-no-kitsune and Tamamo-no-Mae. Inuyasha also showed up in a crossover event.
  • Princess Connect! Re:Dive: The beastfolk in general. They always look human except for the extra ears and tail they have, which are usually cat ears or dog ears, but there's one character with mouse ears (and an elf sister), a squirrel girl (unrelated to THAT Squirrel Girl) and a llama who can eat a magic apple to appear like a typical beast folk but falls more under the heading of the trope Beast Folk. Also, they do tend to be discriminated against, especially by NIGHTMARE, the defenders of the throne (though they have a cat girl amongst their ranks, who wrongly thinks she's hiding that fact).
  • Ratatan: As seen in the trailer, each hero unit follows an animal motif. Nyandora is the cat hero who uses Wolverine Claws and runs on all fours. There are also Harigittan the hedgehog, Keroronpa the frog, Mimizukyun the owl.
  • Raw Footage: The cryptid you're trying to get footage of has curved horns on its head, and a small tail.
  • Roblox has several accessories that turn your character into one of these when worn.
  • In Rune Factory 4, some of the characters who originally appear as monsters retain some of their bestial features when they assume humanoid form: Dylas, a unicorn, maintains his equine ears and tail and has hair that resembles a horse's mane; Leon, whose monster form looks similar to Anubis, has wolf-like ears and tail; and Amber, a butterfly monster, retains her wings and antennae.
  • The Inklings and Octolings from Splatoon evolved from squid and octopi, respectively, and are Ugly Cute cephalopod monsters for the first few years of their life. Once they reach adolescence, their skin tone turns fleshy and they become Apparently Human Merfolk. They have the ability to morph into non-anthropomorphic squid/octopi to hide in their own ink and swim through it at great speeds, and in their humanoid form they have Tentacle Hair. A few other races, like sea slugs and anemones, are also relatively humanoid in appearance, with most of their "animal" features showing up in place of their "hair".
  • The Star Ocean games are filled with animalistic humanoids of the "alternate evolutionary path" school. These tend to vary from Beast Men (a few background NPCs, including frog and fish people) right up through this trope (menodixes like Roger S. Huxley are raccoon-people, and featherfolk and felinefolk have their own tropes). These will generally all be expounded upon at length by the game's dictionary.
  • In Stray Gods, Pan, traditionally half-human half-goat, is depicted as a man with goat horns.
  • TERA: The Elins are a One-Gender Race of eternally young-looking girls who all have animal ears and tails, including cats, foxes, wolves, sheep, lions, squirrels, rabbits, and more.
  • Touhou Project has several examples of this, thanks to the nature of how many youkai are former animals turned into part monster, and mostly anthropomorphised girls:
    • Koakuma from Embodiment of Scarlet Devil has bat-style Mercury's Wings. Official manga (typically) show her with more common back-wings as well, in line with how doujin artists interpret her tiny battle sprite.
    • While not actually a dog girl per se, Sakuya Izayoi is sometimes shown with dog ears and a tail, keeping in line with her nickname "The Scarlet Devil's Dog".
    • Being a vampire, Remilia Scarlet has bat wings. Her little sister Flandre, on the other hand, has weird, artificial-looking crystal wings. How or why she got those is a big source of Epileptic Trees discussions.
    • Nine-tailed fox/kitsune Ran Yakumo. Even though her having nine tails (the highest number of tails a youkai fox can have, symbolizing their power; though also the weakest type of those with golden fur whereas the strongest have reverted back to four tails since Four Is Death) would make her one of the most powerful creatures in Gensokyo, she is little more than Yukari Yakumo's pet and favorite whipping girl. Poor Ran. There is also Chen the Cat Girl familiar of Ran and thus Yukari's familiar-familiar.
    • Wriggle Nightbug from Imperishable Night is a (very tomboyish) firefly-girl. However, she doesn't glow in the dark, due to being a girl and all, as only male fireflies glow.
    • Mystia Lorelei is a night sparrow youkai, and consequently sports a pair of stubby little wings and long claws. Oddly enough, she also has a pair of small furry ears, which sparrows aren't known to have.
    • Keine Kamishirasawa is a were-hakutaku; most of the time she appears as an ordinary human, but when the moon is full her hair turns green and she sports a pair of horns and a tail.
    • Reisen Udongein Inaba is a lunar rabbit, and Tewi Inaba a youkai rabbit. Though strangely, Reisen has buttons on the base of her ears, which has fueled tons of Epileptic Trees (including some people who speculate these are military rank markings).
    • Aya Shameimaru is a crow tengu, usually drawn with black wings. Same for her rival Hatate Himekaidou. The crow tengu also have Pointy Ears.
    • It is just fanon, but Tokiko may be a crested ibis youkai.
    • Momiji Inubashiri from Mountain of Faith, a white wolf tengu, is depicted with animal features in official doujins even though her official sprite is too small to tell whether or not she has them.
    • Rin Kaenbyou from Subterranian Animism is a kasha, a Cat Girl from hell who drags of corpses to be used as fuel (despite that job description however she's a very nice person). She's also a very rare exceptions to the ears-dilemma; instead of not adressing her human ears, or her not having human ears, she actually has both human and cat ears. Apparently, ZUN did that by accident, but as it's unique and interesting, the design remained.
    • Utsuho Reiuji is a hell raven with requisite big black wings.
    • The Tiny, Tiny, Clever Commander of Undefined Fantastic Object, Nazrin, is a mouse youkai. Her superior, Shou Toramaru the tiger youkai, averts this since she has no tiger traits aside from her tiger-patterned clothes and hair, but that hasn't stopped fanartists from often giving her Little Bit Beastly features anyway.
    • Kyouko Kasodani is a Yamabiko, a youkai that is the cause and reason of echoes. What kind of animal it's supposed to be is another matter, though most assume it's supposed to be a dog.
    • Mamizou Futatsuiwa is a tanuki with round ears and a poofy tail.
    • Kagerou Imaizumi, a werewolf, has a wolf's ears and long claws. Her character info also mentions that she grows fur when the full moon is out, but since the prominent body hair embarasses her, she wears clothes that cover it up — only a little tuft can be seen poking out of her sleeve on her character art.
    • Like Reisen, Seiran and Ringo from Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom are lunar rabbits with ears and tails (ZUN himself had to confirm the latter since their in-game sprites don't show the tails).
    • Doremy Sweet is a baku (a tapir-based youkai that eats dreams) and has a cow-like tail.
    • Sagume Kishin is an odd case; she's a Goddess/Lunarian/Amanojaku hybrid but has a single silver-coloured wing, while no other Goddess/"human" Lunarian has anything like this in Touhou, and the only other Amanojaku has horns rather than wings. According to ZUN, Sagume is meant to invoke the look of a white heron, "sagi" in Japanese.
    • Hidden Star in Four Seasons' Eternity Larva, being a swallowtail faerie, has butterfly wings on her back and a large, yellow, two-pronged osmeterium on her head. Her skirt also sports the pattern of a caterpillar and her dress has a cocoon design in it.
    • Aunn Komano, from the same game, is a komainu statue come to life and sports both a tail, a horn and a pair of stone animal ears. Her curly, seafoam-green hair also looks a lot like the fur designs of many komainu jade statues.
    • Wily Beast and Weakest Creature, which lead the playable characters to the Hell of Beasts in Buddhism, came with a large assortment of beastly girls. Aside from Eika Ebisu who, like Shou above, merely had jellyfish motifs in her hair and clothes, it starts with Urumi Ushizaki who, with her bovine ears, horns and tail, evoke the equally bovine Ushioni.
    • Next, the game introduced Kutaka Niwatari, goddess of chickens, who has wings and, unusually, tailfeathers as well as a red mullet and ribbon tied around her neck, evoking a rooster's comb and wattle.
    • After that the game introduced Yachie Kicchou, a jidiao, a kind of Chinese dragon tortoise, complete with deer antlers, a turtle shell and a scaly dragon's tail.
    • Finally there's the game's Optional Boss, Saki Kurokoma, based upon Prince Shoutoku's black, flying horse. Though said horse was in the original stories just plain able to fly, ZUN reinvisioned them as a pegasus. As such, Saki has big, black wings and a horsetail.
    • Gouyoku Ibun had another resident of the Hell of Beasts, Yuuma Toutetsu, based upon the Taotie, a gluttonuous sheep youkai. Yuuma has white, floofy, wool-like hair, a pair of red sheep horns, pointy ears and even horizontally slitted pupils.
    • Mike Goutokuji is a calico manekineko cat girl. Aside from the obligatory cat ears and tail, her hair (and dress) is also calico-coloured.
    • Tsukasa Kudamaki is a youkai fox like Ran, but one with only a single tail along with her big fox ears.
  • Trinity Universe: The plot kicks off when Tsubaki, herself a Kitsune, sabotages the Demon God Gem ritual, which instead bestows Prince Kanata with dog ears and a tail. Turns out, he likes the changes. Optional Party Member Miyu would also count.
  • Twisted Wonderland features a race of humanoids with animal ears and tails, known as 'beastfolk' in the Fan Translation. The three main examples come from Savanaclaw dorm, namely Leona (lion) and Ruggie (hyena) as the characters based on Scar and the hyenas respectively, and Jack (wolf), whose origin is unclear as there are no wolf-like characters in The Lion King. There's also Che'nya (cat), who's based on the Cheshire Cat, and Cheka (lion cub), Leona's little nephew who's based on Simba.
  • Nearly everyone in Wadanohara fits this trope. From shark boys to bunny girls, almost every character looks like a human with animal features like ears and a tail.
  • Arina from Waku Waku 7 has rabbit ears. Her friends, seen in her intro, all have animal ears of various kinds for some reason.
  • WildStar has the Aurin, an alien race who have a wide variety of ears—from bunny, to cat, to deer—but all share the same long, fluffy tails.
  • Two playable varieties in the later Wizardry games-the brutish Lizardmen, who are Exactly What It Says on the Tin, and the acid-breathing Dracons, stated to be dragon-human hybrids.
    • The Rattkin of the later Wizardry games started as a loose kingdom of thieves and spies run by mobsters, but managed to escape their birth planet when other races arrived and apparently have gone on to establish themselves as the local interstellar Mafia, complete with matching accents.
  • The draenei in World of Warcraft have a few vaguely goat/antelope-like traits; their feet are cloven hooves, and the females (and some of the males) have horns. However, although they have tails, those look (if anything) vaguely reptilian; and they also have a few more outright alien traits such as blue skin, catfish-whisker-like facial tendrils, and—on the males, anyway—Klingon foreheads.
