* [[KungFuPanda Tai Lung]] normally assumes a two-legged stance during most of the film, like all of the other animals, but in most of his fight scenes he will actually revert to a four-legged stance just like an actual snow leopard would.

* Played with by Bumi of ''[=~Avatar: The Last Airbender~=]'' who is always hunched over: most of the time it just makes him look more feeble and decrepit, but this trope comes into play when he [[WalkingShirtlessScene takes his shirt off]] to [[LetsGetDangerous start fighting]] as when combined with all that muscle is quite intimidating.

Added DiffLines:

* A lot of hardcore wrestlers adopt a stance similar to this, whether willingly adopted (like Al Snow when he was in full J.O.B Squad swing with "Head") or as a result of taking too many bumps over the length of a career (like Mick Foley, although it could be argued that most of the gimmicks he had benefited from a more deranged looking stance and gait).
* Funnily enough, completely averted by both Gorilla Monsoon and King Kong Bundy.

* Fenris in ''DragonAgeII'' is a mild example, but there's still a noticeable difference between his posture and that of any of the other companion characters - shoulders forward as though he's always poised to spring.

to:

* Fenris in The newly-designed hurlocks of ''DragonAgeII'' utilize this trope. They tend to shamble rather than walk or run.

* [[CombiningMecha Devastator]] from [[{{Film/Transformers}} ''TransformersRevengeoftheFallen'']] actually stands and walks like this.
* Inverted in ''Disney/BeautyandtheBeast'' where the Beast at first stands and walks like this, but gradually begins to stand and walk upright as the film progresses to show the fact that he is gradually becoming more civilized. Played straight with Gaston, however, where he actually does the complete opposite (first, he stands and walks upright, but near the end of the film, he reveals his evil self and starts to stand and walk like this).

* RandyOrton will occasionally do this when he's about to hit someone with an RKO...although he normally Averts this, considering the fact that he goes into a psycho state before he does the move, which involves him getting on his knees and slamming the ground repeatedly with his fists, or just dropping down completely and punching the ground slowly. Although this is used to evoke the feeling of a viper.

* Averted in the Disney version of ''Film/{{Tarzan}}''; he ''actually'' moves like an ape, complete with knuckle-walking despite the fact that the human body isn't designed for it and in reality he'd be suffering from horrible joint and back problems if he did that since childhood. But it [[RuleOfCool looked cool]].
