This is the character sheet for Littlest Pet Shop characters which appear in licensed video games.
Littlest Pet Shop: Friends

- Ambiguous Gender: To keep up with the customization gimmick, the pets are also gender-neutral, leaving it to the player’s imagination.
- Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: The ladybug, dog, cat, orangutan, bunny, messy cat, and butterfly do not appear in Biggest Stars outside of the promotional video and cutscenes.
- Civilized Animal: All the pets behave in a human-like manner.
- Demoted to Extra: Several of the pets make appearances in the sequel Biggest Stars, but only as non-playable characters who are to be interacted with when about to play a mini-game or make something.
