* It'd be easier to list the few human characters in ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossing'' as the sheer number of examples of funny animals in each entry in the series (including Japan-only villagers) put together could possibly fill up half of this page alone (let's just say the game's title is well deserved). The [[TokenHuman only human(s)]] in the games are the PlayerCharacter(s) and presumably their parents.

* ''Manga/TwilightStarSuiAndNeri'': Animals [[spoiler:in Tetsunagi]] are seen co-existing with humans in TheFuture. They all speak, wear clothing, do day-to-day duties and talk like humans. [[spoiler:However, ''outside'' of Tetsunagi is the very opposite where virtually no animals are sapient in other cities. This is mostly due to Tetsunagi being firstly created from a union between sentient animals and humans originating from a research lab.]]

[[ADogNamedDog Bearington]] had maxed out his [[MasterOfDisguise disguise skill]] to successfully make himself appear human, and his bluff skill to let him fake speaking English by growling and gesturing. He later hired a butler and gave him a magic item that let him [[SpeaksFluentAnimal speak Bear]] so he could act as a translator. Bearington would eventually be knighted by the queen for his heroic deeds. At the following banquet celebrating his knighthood, a random guest was the first and only person to ever make a high enough Perception roll to see through the disguise. [[CassandraTruth He was arrested by the castle guards for his outrageous insult against the venerable Sir Bearington]].

* In ''[[VideoGame/Frebbventure]]'', pretty much the entire population of Earth has been transformed into beastmen, a form of animal-human hybrid. This includes catmen, deermen, possummen, and even anteatermen. Late game story cutscenes reveal this is the doing of [[BigBad Ulcethot]], with the implication he mostly did so for a laugh. [[spoiler: The implication that he was splicing his own DNA into the population does raise the implication this may have been done for experimentation with [[KiManipulation Xell]]. As well, Rose was around as a kitsune ''before'' Ulcethot even came to Earth, raising further questions as to whether or not this was due to genetic experimentation after all.]]
