1	'''Basic Trope''': Anthropomorphic animals become more human-like as they age.
2	* '''Straight''': Bob the dog has a child named Puppy, who walks on four legs and cannot talk while Bob is bipedal and can talk.
3	* '''Exaggerated''': Puppy is a literal normal dog who never talks, barks, walks on four legs, and wears nothing, except the occasional leash. Bob looks almost completely human-like apart from [[LittleBitBeastly a few dog-like features]], [[FullyDressedCartoonAnimal wears a white T-shirt, grey jeans, red socks, and blue shoes]], talks, and uses technology.
4	* '''Downplayed''': Bob is bipedal, but that's where his anthropomorphism ends, and Puppy can say a few words and wears a diaper.
5	* '''Justified''': Anthropomorphic animals become human-like as they grow up.
6	* '''Inverted''': Puppy is bipedal and can talk while Bob walks on all fours and cannot talk.
7	* '''Subverted''':
8	** Puppy was acting like a normal dog to spy on [[BigBad Alice the cat.]]
9	** Puppy is in the crawling stage, [[EntertaininglyWrong we merely misread that as him being a non-anthropomorphic quadruped]].
10	* '''Double Subverted''': Puppy begins BecomingTheMask.
11	* '''Parodied''': Bob treats Puppy more like a family pet than a son.
12	* '''Zig-Zagged''': Bob is more anthropomorphic than Puppy, but Kitty and her mother Claire are both normal-looking cats, while Danny the rabbit acts like an ordinary rabbit and his daughter Bunny is anthropomorphic.
13	* '''Averted''': Puppy and Bob are equally as anthropomorphic.
14	* '''Enforced''': Originally, [[WhatCouldHaveBeen Bob was going to be not anthropomorphic as Puppy,]] but the [[ExecutiveMeddling executives wanted to appeal to a younger audience,]] so the creators made Bob anthropomorphic but they forgot to make Puppy anthropomorphic as well. They decided to keep that.
15	* '''Lampshaded''': "Hey Bob, how come your son seems less anthropomorphic than you?"
16	* '''Invoked''': Alice kidnaps the originally anthropomorphic Puppy and changes his brain into the mind of an ordinary dog to make him not anthropomorphic.
17	* '''Exploited''': ???
18	* '''Defied''': Bob teaches Puppy to become anthropomorphic.
19	* '''Discussed''': "Bob, you're so lucky Puppy was anthropomorphic and not acting like a normal dog, like in these family sitcoms."
20	* '''Conversed''': "Why is Bob anthropomorphic but Puppy is not? Did they forgot to make Puppy anthropomorphic?"
