Who is your favorite animal in all of media? They quality if they are not human, yet organic. Half-humans and robots don't count.
Appa, Flying Bison, Avatar: The Last Airbender
My favorite of all time, so far, is Appa because he marks the first time a non-talking animal was my favorite character in anything. (By the way, it's Appa, Sokka, Iroh, Toph, Katara, Aang, then Cabbage Guy. ) When he was temporarily dropped from the show, I was nearly in tears until he came back. I like how he licks everyone he loves, so that's a plus.
Crash Bandicoot, Eastern Barred Bandicoot, Crash Bandicoot
WHOA! Who saw this one coming? *everyone raises hands*
...I hate you all.
I mean, Crash Bandicoot! Sure, he's nothing fancy, but he introduced me to the world of gaming, so that alone guaranteed a spot here. Now, what makes him lovable? Well, how about starring in not one single bad game?! That's right, all of Crash's games are enjoyable for everyone!
*Mind Over Mutant pops in*
Activision, doesn't count.
Donkey Kong III, Great Ape, Donkey Kong Country
Do I even need to say anything? The grandson of the original Donkey Kong (now known as Cranky Kong), DK stars in his own platforming series, which is debatably better than Mario's own! He's also proven himself to be a great kart racer, appearing in every single Mario Kart game (His father covered for him in the first, though.) I look forward to more games with my favorite primate.
Princess Unikitty, Unicorn Cat, The LEGO Movie
Girly? Yes. Juvenile? Definitely. Yet, Unikitty has something to her that few others can replicate: Charm through dialogue. Most charm is phoned in, and... So is Unikitty's. However, that's the point, and everyone who has seen the entire movie knows why. It's charm through fake charm, and that's tough to master.
Otis, Cow, Back at the Barnyard
The party animal, I chose Otis' television counterpart to his film character simply because this version is more entertaining. Taking place before the movie... No, after... In-between? I don't know. It's probably non-canon. Anyway, this is when Otis is leader, but still doen't take responsibility because setup. I love Otis, and that isn't a secret to these forums. Just ask anybody who saw my avatar with Otis on it throughout the summer last year.
There you go, my top five favorite animals.
