Basic Trope: Animals with no hair, especially those that normally do have hair, are portrayed as creepy monsters.
- Straight: A hairless bear appears, and Alice and Bob find it creepy.
- Exaggerated: All animals seen are hairless beasts deep in the Uncanny Valley.
- Downplayed: Hairless animals are portrayed as Ugly Cute, Creepy Cute, or just somewhat weirder than non-hairless animals.
- Justified: Sometimes the fur provides a large part of the animal's perceived proportioning, making us think them unnaturally out of proportion when we see them furless.
- Inverted:
- An alligator covered in a pelt of thick hair instead of big scales appears, and it's considered unusual.
- Animals with fur are portrayed as creepier than the ones that don't.
- Subverted: Alice and Bob find the bear unusual at first, but then they agree that it's actually pretty cute.
- Double Subverted: However, Alice and Bob are Nightmare Fetishists; Charlie is still creeped out by the hairless bear.
- Parodied: ???
- Zig-Zagged: ???
- Averted:
- There are no hairless animals.
- Hairless animals are not considered creepy.
- Enforced: "People find hairless animals creepy, why don't we add one to the story?"
- Lampshaded: ???
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: ???
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: "I don't know why everyone thinks hairless animals are automatically creepy. Some of them are really more Ugly Cute at the worst."
