Draft for Extreme Omnisexual's description, since Anything That Moves was merged with that trope. Both tropes' descriptions have been copied verbatim for now.

Extreme Omnisexual's description:

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/People_Jack_Harkness_2676.jpg

Howard: Jack just ate a happy ending!
Kreese: Don't you mean Happy Onion?
Howard: Clearly you've never had sex with an onion!

This is a character who would, could, or has bedded anything. By "anything" we mean absolutely anything, up to and including the bed itself.

The Extreme Omnisexual isn't necessarily limited to chasing after humans or humanoids; targets of their affections can also include other species, robots, or even animals and inanimate objects.

This person is often a Lovable Sex Maniac, a depraved villain or is just really, really desperate.

Compare and contrast Anything That Moves, where a character typically limits themselves to those within their own species, age, and/or sexual preferences. The complete opposite is a Asexual and a Celibate Hero (if asexual is The Hero). See also Really Gets Around for the usually-straight version. Compare Extreme Omnivore (the dietary counterpart).

Anything That Moves' description:

"I'll fuck anything that moves!"
Frank, Blue Velvet

Some people have a type. They might like certain hair colour, or body type, or personality trait.

Well, This Is Not That Trope.

This character has remarkably broad standards. They may have species and gender boundaries, but that's about it. Things like age, personality, and attractiveness restrict them much less than the average person. Such a character may get around a lot, but not necessarily; sometimes, it's just that their standards are broad.

This is not to say they have no limits. Animals, aliens, children, relatives, and/or inanimate objects (barring sex toys) are off the table. (If not, you're looking at Extreme Omnisexual.)

Note: Do not add behavior patterns that don't fall under Rule of Funny. Do not add characters for chasing after aliens or fantastic beings. Don't add characters who don't otherwise fit for just using the phrase "Anything That Moves." Anything That Moves is just a title.

Not to be confused with Shoot Everything That Moves — though with some people, you never know. The male version is almost always a Kavorka Man or Casanova Wannabe; the female version formidable enough to be off-putting to the less experienced members of the cast, except in anime. Then she's a Lovable Sex Maniac.

Extreme Omnisexual is a similar trope, but they are distinct since the former revolves around whose tastes would include those outside their own species and/or sexual orientation (and, for that matter, don't necessarily have to be moving).

Has nothing to do with a quotenote  from Revolver Ocelot. The 1990s magazine Anything That Moves was related, as it was a political journal about bisexuality, but the name was chosen sarcastically.note
