* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'': Pikachu can function equally well on either four or two legs -- when they're in 3D, they're shown to run on four and walk on two. This applies to many other Pokemon as well, switching from two legged walking animations to a four legged animation when running.

* Among animals this trope is almost completely absent. In fact, the opposite is seen, with many prehistoric reptiles (probably) and various modern day lizards adopting a bipedal stance when they want to run quickly, and kangaroos moving slowly on all fours but hopping rapidly on two legs. About the only animals that spend any time in a bipedal stance but move quickly on all fours are bears and certain primates (and the former almost never do more than take a couple steps when on their hind legs).

* When [[Franchise/{{Alien}} the Xenomorph]] was added to ''VideoGame/DeadByDaylight'', they gave it a unique status called "Crawler Mode", wherein after it's either stalked survivors for a while or recently emerged from the map's tunnel network, it'll be on all fours, able to attack with its swift tail.

* Done among several types of ''birds'' in ''WebOriginal/{{Serina}}'' where some lineages of birds, such as the burrowing mole-like bumblets and the deer-like serezelles, evolve to be obligate quadrupeds, becoming flightless and repurposing their wing anatomy back into weight-bearing limbs.
