History Main / NonHumansLackAttributes

** Played very straight with the Bone cousins from , who [[HalfDressedCartoonAnimal never wear pants.]]

* The ComicBook/SilverSurfer, despite looking like a shiny human, displays no genitalia whatsoever. Presumably covered or removed as part of his transformation into the Silver Surfer. Other natives of Zenn-La apparently have the same attributes as humans, which they cover in similar ways.

* Discussed with ComicBook/TheVision in ''[[WestCoastTeam West Coast]] [[Comicbook/TheAvengers Avengers]]''. U.S. Agent demands that he "show some decency" and put some clothing on, but Vision points out that clothing would be pointless since as an android, he doesn't have nipples or visible genitals.

* An ''ComicBook/{{Exiles}}'' storyline introduces an alternate universe version of ComicBook/{{Morbius}} who looks like [[BatOutOfHell a gaint bat]]. He is naked all of the time and doesn't have genitals or nipples.

* WesternAnimation/FritzTheCat doesn't show any genitals either–unless a sex scene comes up. Female characters [[NonMammalMammaries always]] have visible nipples and genitals, but they usually cover them with clothes whereas Fritz is a HalfDressedCartoonAnimal.

* Averted in ''Film/{{Star Trek VI|the Undiscovered Country}}''. While on the prison planet of Rura Penthe, Kirk fights an alien prisoner and kicks him in the middle of his legs, injuring it and causing it to wail in pain. Kirk remarks that he was "lucky that thing had knees." Another prisoner remarks, "That was not his knee. Not everybody keeps their genitals in the same place, Captain." Interestingly, the camera shows a detailed closeup of the art department's version of injured alien genitalia which is plainly visible through a tear in the alien's clothing (a tear which seems to exist [[FanDisservice for no other purpose]] than to allow us to see the squishy and unrecognizable alien goodies).

* Averted in Creator/MichaelChabon's ''Literature/{{Summerland}}'', where after Ethan tells Cutbelly the [[OurMonstersAreDifferent werefox]] to get off his stomach (so he could breathe properly), the fox flips backwards off the boy, temporarily exposing his equipment, to [[NightmareFuel Ethan's shock and dismay]].

* In addition to the page quote above, Londo Mollari also averts this trope by using his... *ahem* "attributes" to cheat in a poker game. HilarityEnsues when one of the other players accidentally puts a glass of ice water down on the appendage in question.
* Averted in the {{tokusatsu}} LionMaru where Lion Maru's costume has a visible penis.

* Very, very much averted with [[spoiler:Satan]] in ''Dante's Inferno'', where the attention to detail is far from subtle, probably to conform to some popular depictions of the character. (Oddly, in the pre-rendered cutscenes these critical areas are consistently obscured by shadows. Go figure.)

* Aliens in ''VideoGame/XCOMEnemyUnknown''. Then again, they are genetically engineered [[CloningBlues cloned]] cannon fodder grown in vats, so [[InvokedTrope genitalia would be a superfluous trait at best,]] [[GroinAttack a weak point]] at worst, so why bother leaving them with genitalia?

* Werewolves and Werebear VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim don't have any going on down there, vampire lords, on the other hand come with their own MagicPants.

* Creator/{{Humon}}'s webcomics avert this; the most interesting example being the female tentacle monster, who is ''very'' embarrassed when she notices that she has been waving her ''small'' tentacles around in front of her lover's mother. The small tentacles only serve one specific purpose. Played straight with the personifications of certain animals in the series on weird animal reproduction habits -- they all have Barbie Doll Anatomy.

** The alien Aylee, who would occasionally shift form as a response to a new environment, mostly had nonhuman forms with no such attributes. Even her brief "buxom blonde secretary" form had a uniformly scaly exterior. Eventually she would adopt a form so human that she actually ''does'' have "human female naughty parts" under her [[CapeWings wings-dress]], though she's still green, which [[http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/071005 naturally causes embarrassment and some downright distress]] before she realises human nudity rules now apply to her.

** Most [[AvertedTrope demons do actually wear clothes, indicating there may be something underneath]]. This also applies to {{Satan}} -- except when drawn by Creator/IanMcDonald, when he's pantless and featureless.

* The original Crazy Frog video infamously averted this. It's a particularly strange case because ''actual'' frogs don't have visible external genitalia at all.

* Zig-zagged in ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'', where the [[FunnyAnimal anthropomorphic non-humans]] may wear body-covering clothes, [[AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal non-body covering clothes]], or no clothes at all. When the first type lose their clothing (most often Gumball), they're treated as naked and usually have pixellated genitals. Sometimes the second type losing their "clothes" (Darwin the goldfish's shoes, Leslie the flower's pot) will be treated as naked, [[RuleOfFunny complete with the uncovered area being pixellated]]. Tina Rex and her father are more specifically of AnimalsLackAttributes types.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|2003}}'' (2003) this is played straight with Splinter and Leatherhead and ''possibly'' subverted with the Turtles themselves, if you look closely, the Turtles in this version have a bit of plastron that goes between the legs forming 'built in pants' as it were one can only assume this means their "naughty bits" are underneath the shell.

* Averted with Coverton in the ''WesternAnimation/MonstersVsAliens'' TV series. He has [[MultiBoobage six breasts]] that [[TripleNipple each have nipples showing]] when he is naked.

* Humphrey and many of the other bears his cartoons in the WesternAnimation/ClassicDisneyShorts have WrongTypeOfMammalMammaries and their nipples don’t show, but [[DoubleStandard since they’re male, this is a notable]] example of LawOfConservationOfDetail.

* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'': In general, Gorons and Zora tend to be naked, but don't have any details (though in ''VideoGame/TwilightPrincess'' the male Gorons [[FanDisservice infamously]] had nipples).
** In ''VideoGame/TheWindWaker'' the Koroks, being plant people, don't have any sexual characteristics.
** In ''VideoGame/TwilightPrincess'' Midna is technically nude most of the time, but since her imp form is devoid of detail aside from her belly button, she gets away with it. When she [[spoiler:transforms into her true form, which is much more humanoid, her lower half is covered by a skirt but she is still topless, and so she still has no details there despite obviously having breasts.]]

* WesternAnimation/BugsBunny may have actually [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar averted]] this trope in the short ''The Wabbit Who Came to Supper'', during a scene in which he's coming out of the shower and his towel slips, revealing what looks like a white fur-covered penis for a couple frames. This has been discredited by most, though-- it was most likely supposed to just be a gap between his legs and above the towel, through which either the bathtub or another part of the towel is visible. The animators at Warner were never above slipping things past the radar, though, so it isn't completely out of the question.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVEjY7BibKo&t=2m57s Make your own judgement.]]

* Sally Acorn in ''ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog'' can be either fully nude save for boots, or wear only an open vest. Either way, she has obvious breasts without nipples.

* ''Webcomic/AliceGrove'': Laridia appears as a [[ExposedExtraterrestrial nude]] humanoid without breasts or genitalia. {{Justified|Trope}} because it's a temporary body, grown for them to leave their native [[InsideAComputerSystem virtual-reality]] world.

In most cases, this concession of realism is a subtle form of censorship -- not necessarily at the insistence of [[ExecutiveMeddling meddling managers]] or MoralGuardians, but also because not every artist wants to actually think about such anatomical details themselves, nudity taboo or otherwise. (It's too easy to joke about what could be misheard from the art department: "Bill, [[SpitTake do these balls look right to you?]]" "Yeah, they're fine. [[InnocentInnuendo Stop playing with them and work on the legs]].")

* Actually a plot point in ''VideoGame/DestroyAllHumans''. The Furons, after centuries of waging unregulated nuclear war against other alien races, were subject to severe mutations that left their entire species with a lack of genitalia. They tried to get around this sterility by using cloning technology, which made members of the species [[ResurrectiveImmortality essentially immortal]], but the [=DNA=] patterns used for this process [[CloneDegeneration gradually became more and more degraded.]] To solve this, [[MadScientist Orthopox-13]] and [[PlayerCharacter Cryptosporidium-137]] decide to pay a visit to a world whose native inhabitants, [[BoldlyComing thanks to some Furon sailors on Furlough]], house samples of pure Furon DNA in their gene pool: The planet Earth.

The nipples variant involves a CivilizedAnimal, FunnyAnimal, or BeastMan who has at least some definition to her chest, but who doesn't have any visible nipples. They have either a subtle or distinct "puffing" to the chest, a suggestion of breasts, or flat-out breasts. This can be justified if the nipples are hidden under the fur. This can be as much due to the LawOfConservationOfDetail as censorship, especially for male animals because [[DoubleStandard male nipples are not typically seen as taboo.]]

* ''VideoGame/StarCraft'': After being infected by the Zerg, Sarah Kerrigan is turned into the stark-naked Queen of Blades, but lacks nipples or genitalia. Probably justified since she was built with intelligent design by Abathur, and Zerg [[BizarreAlienReproduction don't need reproductive organs]].

* Particularly noticeable with Gus in ''Disney/{{Cinderella}}'', because his shirt is so teeny-tiny on him.

* The mammals of ''Disney/{{Zootopia}}'' are fully clothed, so if not for a rather gratuitous scene in a nudist club we would be none the wiser about the lack of reproductive organs. Considering the animation detail goes as far as to visibly vary [[RighteousRabbit Judy]]'s bust depending on what she's wearing, it seems very odd.

* Surprisingly averted with Walt Disney's ''Disney/{{Fantasia}}''. The centaurette from the Pastoral Symphony sequence bathe topless and visible nipples are shown. The harpies in the ''[[Music/NightOnBaldMountain Night on Bald Mountain]]'' sequence are also topless, with nipples.

* In ''WebComic/YokokasQuest'', critters with fur have no attributes to show (the comic is PG-13).

FurIsClothing, RemovableShell, and EggshellClothing (these usually being PlayedForLaughs) are a few ways it can be averted.

* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad''

* Averted in ''WebAnimation/RetardedAnimalBabies'' where Puppy is actually drawn with visible genitalia (even when he's wearing clothing), but played straight with the other Animal Babies.

* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'': Despite [[OneGenderRace their female appearance]] and generally wearing clothing that would cover them up, gems don't appear to have any breasts and certainly don't have belly buttons. Amethyst has on a couple of occasions pulled her top down far enough that the audience would have certainly seen something if there was anything to show, while Sugilite, Jasper, Blue Pearl, Yellow Pearl, Doc, and Navy have very chest-baring shirts with no hints of any features. Indeed, Rose Quartz is the only one with visible cleavage (and that might just be the way she's shaped), even though [[spoiler:her original form, Pink Diamond, had no breasts]]. ''Guide to the Crystal Gems'' vaguely implies they don't usually have genitals either, stating that Rose had to use shapeshifting to make a womb for [[HalfHumanHybrid Steven]] to be born. All of this makes sense, though, as gems really have NoBiologicalSex and [[BizarreAlienReproduction reproduce artificially with machines]].

* ''Literature/LilithsBrood'': The {{Cthulhumanoid}} Oankali have no breasts or genitals, which confuses one human who makes several attempts at a GroinAttack before realizing she's not kicking anything. {{Justified|Trope}} by their innate ability to manipulate genes and living tissue: they create and implant fetuses without any need for gametes, then grow a temporary orifice to give birth. In addition, their digestive systems only produce small amounts of dust as waste, which they secrete through their skin.

* In the LOTR-Fanfic ''Surprises of a Wedding Night'' this is hilariously justified: Male elves don't have penises, because the female tentacles serve the purpose of getting sperm where it needs to be. Aragorn recalls having noticed that male elves "lack certain attributes".

** Devils "don't procreate normally," and at least blue devils typically have a feminine shape without attributes. They have been known have sex anyway, but the details haven't been explained.

** Angels are sexless, and neither the stone bodies they use to manifest nor their real bodies (even when humanoid) seem to have attributes.

* The ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' franchise primarily features animals without clothing (or very little anyway, as they usually at least wear shoes and WhiteGloves), except in case of the females (and Charmy Bee, who wears an orange vest and a flight helmet). None of the male characters are shown to have genitals, thankfully. Even Charmy.

* Sally Acorn in ''ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog'' comics (and the WesternAnimation/SonicSatAM cartoon) can be either fully nude save for boots, or wear only an open vest. Either way, she has obvious breasts without nipples.

* This trope comes into play InUniverse in the ''MagicTheGathering'' story "Dragon's Paw" by Edward Bolme. [[WellIntentionedExtremist Urza]] magically creates a dragon to aid him in his experiments, but doesn't bother to give it a gender. The dragon talks him into making it stronger and bigger and eventually wants to be given a gender. When Urza admits that he's not sure how, the dragon convinces him to let it do the work - and uses this newfound control to sever the link between dragon and mage and flies off into the world.

* Averted in ''ComicBook/{{Planetary}}'', where a naked alien GreenLantern {{Expy}} falls on Earth. He has a very disturbing [[BrainBleach mangina]].
