* ''Literature/HeraldsOfValdemar'' has the hertasi (LizardFolk) and tervardi (songbirds); there are also the dyheli (elk) (BirdPeople) as full-fledged examples. Dyheli (based on elk) and kyree (wolves), (a sort of cross between wolves and cheetahs) are weaker examples, but still fit here: they're as intelligent as any human and have complex cultures that work with their animal shapes, but they aren't bipeds. bipedal.

A subtrope of BeastMan, and related to FunnyAnimal, CivilizedAnimal, and the PlanetOfHats. These mainly rely on AnimalStereotypes but also usually end up looking like HumanoidAliens, for [[MostWritersAreHuman obvious reasons]]. For specific varieties, see CatFolk, LizardFolk, FishPeople, UrsineAliens, [[PigMan Pig People]], ad infinitum.

Compare UpliftedAnimal, which may be used as a {{Justified}} version of this. EvolutionaryLevels are often [[FridgeLogic implied]] - apparently if you want sapience, intelligence and organised society, they always come with two arms, two legs and an upright body plan.
