* Myth/ClassicalMythology gave us a few old-school examples. A few of these were products of {{bestiality|IsDepraved}}, including [[OurCentaursAreDifferent centaurs]] in some versions and the [[OurMinotaursAreDifferent minotaur]] in all examples. But other examples appear to naturally bear animal features without any hybridisation, including FaunsAndSatyrs. Even going beyond the expected centaur and minotaur examples, at least one text discusses far off lands mention people breeding with all manner of beasts to produce half-human, half-beast beings.

*** At one point in ''ComicBook/Wolverine1988'', his body rejected an adamantium infusion (long story), and his mutation went haywire, further transforming him from man to beast. During this time, his nose flattened, his teeth grew longer and sharper, while his hair and body hair grew to excess, forming patches of thick fur all over his body.
*** ''ComicBook/{{Origin|2001}}'' reveals that he increasingly preferred to hunt alongside a pack of wolves over spending time with other people as his powers developed and his memory worsened. After accidentally killing his FirstLove, Rose, the story ends with a naked Logan retreating into the wilderness with some wolves.

He originally was a more or less normal-looking[[note]](insofar as it's possible to tell given the artist -- Creator/JackKirby may have been a genius, but his faces tend to fall firmly in UncannyValley territory)[[/note]] muscular stocky guy with enormous hands and feet.

Then Sabretooth was introduced, and he was deliberately turned into this (from a non-powered SerialKiller with fake claws in ''Power Man and Iron Fist'') to act as an EvilCounterpart to Wolverine.

* ''ComicBook/{{Monstress}}'' have the immortal, animalistic Ancients such as the Queen of the Wolves who looks like a humanoid wolf. Children by the Ancients with humans are Arcanics and they can either look fully human or retain some animalistic features of their Ancient lineage. Arcanic social hierarchy favours those traits, so the more human an Arcanic appears the lower their status.
* ''ComicBook/TraggAndTheSkyGods'': In #4, the Yargonian commander Zorek merges Tragg's rival Gorth with a sabre-toothed tiger to create a creature that is half-man/half-sabre-tooth who he names Sabre-Fang. Zorek then sends Sabre-Fang out to hunt and destroy Tragg and Lorn.
* ''ComicBook/TysonHessesDiesel'' features a variety of Beast Man races populating its world, many of whom suffer [[FantasticRacism persecution]] from the human majority.
* ''ComicBook/{{Ungrounded}}'' has Major Freakshow, a werewolf... who was bitten by a [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot zombie vampire]].
