* ''Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia'': Talking beasts can revert back to dumb animals if they go back to their ways. Most notable in ''Literature/TheLastBattle'', where the cat Ginger is literally scared out of his wits when he unexpectedly encounters [[{{Satan}} Tash]].[[note]]Ginger didn't believe in either Tash or [[{{Jesus}} Aslan]], but had made a show of calling on "Tashlan" to manipulate the other animals. [[GoneHorriblyRight It worked.]][[/note]]

* ''Literature/JanitorsOfThePostapocalypse'': In the backstory, a virus sweeps humanity, killing much of the population and turning most of the survivors into "ferals" which are basically {{Technically Living Zombie}}s whose greatest interest is eating warm flesh. After about fifty years, feral humans have settled into being just another species of animal, huddling together in dens when it's cold and roving out after food, and when [[OctopoidAliens the Krakau]] come to make FirstContact they rush up to [[FirstContactFauxPas eat the diplomats]]. It's later shown that healthy, well-fed ferals can be [[FriendlyZombie almost tame]], will peacefully take food by hand rather than tearing into someone, and evince signs of personality -- again, like animals. The Krakau also develop a partial "cure" to {{uplift|edAnimal}} some of these humans for [[ServantRace their own ends]].

** [[spoiler:Fenrisian wolves are the descendants of ancient human colonists who modified themselves with canine genes in an attempt to adapt to the harsh environment. Only to become [[CanisMajor horse-, if not tank-sized wolves]] with slightly more intelligence than normal. Hence the Space Wolf saying “there are no wolves on Fenris.”]]
