* ''VideoGame/SmallSaga'' takes place in the MouseWorld kingdom of Rodentia, which is under the streets of London. There are three or four LizardFolk around, and friendly talking pigeons transport rodents in the air in baskets, but the reptiles are rare and there are no birds in the rodents' enclosed cities. It's probably too cold for a lot of reptiles, and since the birds are all pretty normal-shaped and don't have FeatherFingers they're more comfortable outside.

Therefore, animal species domesticated by humans (such as domestic dogs) rarely appear, although there are a handful of exceptions (for example: domestic sheep, horses, and pigs exist). WordOfGod mentioned that primates were not shown in the movie because they appeared too human-like (but didn't deny their existence, and concept art for the movie features a bushbaby), and has hinted, but not confirmed, that a city inhabited by reptiles and birds may exist. The only non-mammals seen at all are the non-anthropmorphic houseflies flying around Yax's head, a fish restaurant, and the implications of another restaurant called Bug Burger.

* ''TabletopGame/TheDelversGuideToBeastWorld'': Sapient beasts are based on mammals, with the exception of dragons and kobolds, who aren't true beasts as they originated in another universe and immigrated after the gods uplifted the Beast World's mammals. There are still non-sapient or "quiet-minded" mammals though.

It would seem that, given that one episode of the TBS series shows a plate of squid-based food, marine invertebrates at the very least aren't sapient, but given that the same episode also shows a [[CarnivoreConfusion plate of]] [[FurryConfusion poultry]] of some kind, it isn't exactly clear...

* ''Literature/LlamaLlama'' is populated entirely by mammals, with the added caveat that the main cast are all herbivores that would normally travel in herds, i.e. llamas, sheep, giraffe, gnus, etc. Minor/background characters have included other types of mammals, such as dogs, cats, chipmunks and even hippos. The only non-mammal character that plays any role is a pet duck that is owned by Llama Llama's grandparents.

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


This trope can occur for many reasons. The designers might find humanoid reptiles or birds too [[UncannyValley weird looking]] or [[FurriesAreEasierToDraw hard to draw]]. Or possibly, they also being mammals, just prefer mammalian animals or are more familiar with how mammals work. Another reason for this might be a way to avert CarnivoreConfusion. Instead of having {{Vegetarian Carnivore}}s or having characters eat meat without explanation as to where it's from, instead it's implied (or outright shown) that they eat non-anthropomorphic birds or reptiles.

In RealLife, there are many species that theorists have speculated can evolve over time into something of comparable sentience and intelligence to humans. Not all of them are mammals.
