Basic Trope: An anthropomorphic animal is turned into a non-anthropomorphic animal of their species.
- Straight: Dylan the Funny Animal duck gets turned into a non-anthropomorphic duck.
- Exaggerated: An entire World of Funny Animals is turned into the non-anthropomorphic equivalents of their species, effectively making Funny Animals a Formerly Sapient Species.
- Downplayed:
- Dylan merely goes down on the Sliding Scale of Anthropomorphism, such as now making him a Civilized Animal or Talking Animal when he was formerly a Funny Animal.
- Dylan is turned into a mostly non-anthropomorphic duck, but he retains his intelligence and is a Nearly Normal Animal.
- Justified:
- Dylan underwent a Forced Transformation into a regular duck.
- Dylan can turn himself into a non-anthropomorphic duck if he wants to.
- Dylan went to a Fisher Kingdom where there are no anthropomorphic animals.
- Dylan was hit with the Devolution Device.
- Inverted: Anthropomorphic Transformation
- Subverted: It's only a Medium-Shift Gag.
- Double Subverted: Turns out Dylan actually experienced the 'gag'.
- Parodied: ???
- Zig-Zagged: Dylan has an Anthropomorphic Zig-Zag.
- Averted:
- Dylan does not devolve.
- Dylan is turned into a different non-anthropomorphic animal.
- Enforced: ???
- Lampshaded: ???
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: ???
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: ???
- Implied: Dylan is a non-anthropomorphic duck, but some comments imply that he could have been anthropomorphic in the past.
- Played for Drama:
- Dylan effectively suffers Death of Personality.
- After being turned into a regular duck, Dylan is eaten by a predator.
