Basic Trope: A cartoon character doesn't resemble any known species.

Straight: Alice has a combination of traits that could potentially identify her as numerous species, but is never explicitly mentioned to be from any in particular.

Exaggerated: Alice is drawn in a realistic style, and still is of an unrecognizable species.

Downplayed: One may be able to piece together certain species that Alice could potentially be, but actually identifying her could fall under InformedSpecies and/or CallASmeerpARabbit.

Justified:
* Alice is a MixAndMatchCritter of some sort.
* Alice is supposed to be an alien, monster, or other fictional species.

Inverted:

Subverted: Alice's species is revealed...

Double Subverted: ...she's an alien hybrid.

Averted: Alice's species is explicitly recognized.

Parodied:

Zig Zagged: DependingOnTheWriter, Alice may look more or less like a real species of animal.

Enforced: RuleOfCool and/or RuleOfCute

Lampshaded: "What is Alice supposed to be?"

Invoked: A mad scientist creates a genetic hybrid that doesn't resemble any known species in particular.

Exploited:

Defied:

Discussed: "I wonder what kind of animal Alice is. She doesn't really look like any I can think of."

Conversed: "Why do some cartoon characters have no known species?"

Implied:

Deconstructed: A scientist captures Alice to investigate what kind of creature she could be.

Reconstructed: The scientists actually turn out to be friendly.
