* ''TabletopGame/WarhammerFantasy'' included Ungors: mostly human except for hairy legs, somewhat distorted faces, and small horns. Of course there are larger and less human version such as gors and minotaurs

* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': The Faunus are a race who are distinguished from humans by each having a single specific animal trait. Velvet Scarlatina has rabbit ears, Sun Wukong has a monkey tail, and Blake Belladonna has cat ears. It should be noted that most Faunus with animal ears have them ''in addition'' to human ears, giving them four ears (and good hearing). This trait can vary even within animal breeds; Blake and her parents are all cat Faunus, but while Blake and her mother both have cat ears, her father has cat claws. While mammals seem to be the most common Faunus breeds, more exotic breeds like scorpion Faunus with poison stingers, spider Faunus with webs, and chameleon Faunus with color-changing skin have been seen. In addition to the obvious animal traits, many Faunus have the ability to [[InnateNightVision see in the dark]]. Racism between humans and Faunus (mostly against Faunus) has existed for as long as anyone can remember, and civil rights play a significant role in the setting. The White Fang [[FantasticTerrorists Faunus-supremacy group]] is one of the primary antagonists for the first five volumes.

* ''TabletopGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesAndOtherStrangeness'' and its successor series ''TabletopGame/AfterTheBomb'' use an ability score called 'Human Looks" (with some slight modification from the "Physical Beauty" ability score) and some influence from optional "Vestigial Disadvantages" to govern where a character sits on the SlidingScaleOfAnthropomorphism. Looks is broken into four grades; None, Partial, Full and Perfect. None of these grades ''directly'' correspond to this trope, but, at the discretion of the GamesMaster and player, a character with Partial Human Looks and high Beauty, or Full Looks and low Beauty, may look this way. The closest direct equivalent to this trope is by taking a character with the Full or Perfect Looks grade and using Vestigial Disadvantages to give them animal ears and a tail.

* [[KindheartedCatLover Deytra]] of the ''[[WebVideo/RedactedSmp [REDACTED] Smp]]'' is depicted as having cat ears and paws in her channel icon and the posters for her cafe, although they are not obvious on her sprite.

[[caption-width-right:350:We know what you're thinking, but no, those ears don't [[AnimalEaredHeadband come off]].]]

* Several characters in the ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse'' are like this to varying degrees, with some being closer to [[BeastMan Beast Folk]], even without counting the several CatGirl, [[OurWerebeastsAreDifferent Werefolk]], and {{Voluntary Shapeshift|er}}ing characters:

* Several characters in the ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse'' are like this to varying degrees, with some being closer to BeastFolk, even without counting the several CatGirl, [[OurWerebeastsAreDifferent Werefolk]], and VoluntaryShapeshifting characters:

* In ''WebAnimation/{{Shrapnel}}'', some Fenri look like humans but with animal ears, tails, etc., while others look like BeastFolk.
* ''VirtualYouTuber'': Many vtubers made their models with such beastly features. Unsurprising, since vtubers originated in japan where this trope is quite popular. Theres also vtubers who don't usually have animal motifs that have later added alternate costumes that are a little bit beastly, usually with cat ears. Frankly, theres too many examples to give a full list.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', by the end of the movie, Mei has gained enough control over her panda form that she can [[PartialTransformation shapeshift specific parts of it at will]]. This is shown through her keeping her panda form's ears and tail in her human form.

* ''Literature/{{City of Bones|1995}}'' by Creator/MarthaWells: The Krismen were bio-engineered from Ancient humans to survive in the Waste. They look human except for their distinctive eyes, pointed teeth, and a marsupial pouch, but aren't interfertile with humans. One character with a RaceFetish is a bit disappointed with how similar Khat's "anatomy" is to a human's.

* The kemos of the web-novel ''Literature/{{Domina}}'' vary on the scale, with some being full [[BeastMan anthros]]. The [[AllThereInTheManual culture documents]] confirm that "kemo" is short for "kemonomimi"; all three of the founders were Japanese.

* In ''Literature/IsekaiBattleRoyale'' one of the first characters introduced has fox ears.

* Creator/JackChalker's ''Literature/TheMoreauFactor'' showcases a vast array of {{Beast M|an}}en, all created through [[GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke genetic experimentation]].
* Creator/MaryGentle's Katayans in ''Literature/RatsAndGargoyles'', who are essentially humans with long furry tufted tails.

* The world of ''Literature/{{Sexiled|2018}}'' is a RPGMechanicsVerse, and has a "beastkin" race. The most notable one is Katherine Foxxi, a foxkin Mage who, of course, has a pair of fox ears.

** ''ComicBook/TheUnbeatableSquirrelGirl'': Squirrel Girl is exactly what she sounds like, a human with pronounced squirrel-like features -- an overbite, claws, and a big squirrel tail. The squirrel ears are an AnimalEaredHeadband, though. She also happens to be a KillerRabbit par excellence.

* ''Series/RedDwarf'' has the Cat, whose species has evolved from ''Felis catus domesticus'' into a HumanAlien form with just vestiges of feline traits, including fangs, a keen sense of smell and ([[InformedAttribute supposedly]]) six nipples.

** Characters/BetaRayBill (an equine-headed alien) from ''ComicBook/TheMightyThor''. It is worth noting that his InNameOnly appearance in ''WesternAnimation/SilverSurferTheAnimatedSeries'' had him and his people looking even more horse-like, whereas his species in the comics have no horse features and are instead somewhat human, but with no noses or ears. Bill himself is genetically engineered to be a fearsome guardian for his people.

* In ''ComicBook/{{Monstress}}'', the majority of Arcanics, the HalfHumanHybrid progeny and further descendants of the godlike Ancients, look mostly human with some animal-like features, often ears and/or tails. Though some look almost completely human (like the protagonist Maika Halfwolf), and others are closer to BeastMen.
* ''ComicBook/XMen'':

*** Hepzibah of the Characters/{{Starjammers}} was originally portrayed with definite skunk coloration -- not so surprising, considering that she was based on the skunk Miz Mam'selle Hepzibah from ''ComicStrip/{{Pogo}}'' -- but has since been drawn more as a [[CatGirl generic felinoid]], and now something like an elf.
*** [[Characters/MarvelComicsShiar The Shi'ar]] are supposed to be [[BirdPeople descended from birds]]. The only real sign of this is that [[RubberForeheadAliens they have feathers instead of hair]] and (sometimes) on their forearms. Although there are some "throwbacks" who are {{Winged Humanoid}}s, with long feathers on their forearms.

* The werewolves the ''[[Film/Zombies2018 Zombies 2]]'' just have glowing eyes, fangs, claws, and pinted ears to demonstrate their wolf side.
