heroes come in all shapes and species um
my name Greg welcome to watchmojo.com
and today we’ll be counting down our
picks for the top 10 video game animal
heroes did you get that slippy for this
list we count down our favorite main
characters that are animals in games
they can be fictional animals or
anthropomorphic figures but they have to
be the main playable character and have
to originate in video games so the Ninja
Turtles are unfortunately out as usual
one entry per franchise okay VIN baby
Jack me in number 10 conquer Conker’s
Bad Fur Day you can’t expect a clean
mouth from this vulgar squirrel but he
can be quite entertaining if you’re okay
with hearing some obscenities hey what a
kewpie you ginger bastard he’s an
alcoholic who’s just as cynical as he is
hysterical
one night his binge drinking gets out of
control and you have to help him
navigate his way home safely in a world
that’s nothing short of surreal no you
want some great stuff it is most
advisable to keep open flames away from
this little critter because he has been
known to pee on folks
literally
number nine Amaterasu Okami this title
didn’t sell well at first but that
didn’t stop at Sun God protagonist from
leaving an impression on gamers
everywhere being a God she’s technically
not an animal but she still takes the
shape of a wolf for the majority of the
game as she battles the evil Orochi
alongside her trusty guide is soon the
characters sheer beauty as rendered
through the game’s unforgettable
cel-shaded graphics was more than enough
to guarantee her a spot on our list
number eight Sly Cooper Sly Cooper
series even though this character looks
cute he’s actually an infamous master
thief or gentleman Steve as he calls
himself freeze raccoon how can I freeze
my heart warms at the very sight of you
shut up ringtail he comes from a long
line of criminal geniuses and he
certainly adopted the family traits as
he has no problem breaking into
locations like Pyro’s Museum of Natural
History as he does in the second game
someone already stole the parts don’t
play dumb with me it might not have been
him calm nita in addition to his natural
talents he has plenty of awesome tools
to get the job done
like his signature hooked cane number 7
crash bandicoot crash bandicoot series
hey plumber boy mustache man your worst
nightmare has arrived another
PlayStation mascot on our list and
probably not the last this australian
marsupial became who he is now because
of the evil dr. neocortex along with his
evil henchmen dr. nitrous Breo
who mutated crash with their powerful
evolved array luckily for crash the
mutation worked out well for him giving
him powerful jump and spin moves which
he now uses to stop cortex from taking
over the world
number six fox mccloud Star Fox series
I’ll do my best and Ross won’t have his
way with me the ace pilot of the starfox
team Fox took the role of the leader
after his father was betrayed and
murdered by one of his teammates you’re
becoming more like your father but he’s
certainly no slouch as he
single-handedly led his four-man team
across the lylat system to defeat Andros
out of the cockpit Fox is just as
experienced in hand-to-hand combat being
one of the fastest characters that you
can choose in the smash brothers games
number five Banjo and Kazooie
banjo-kazooie series why settle for one
badass animal character when you can
have two held together you wouldn’t
think that birds and bears would make a
natural fit for a team but these guys do
form an incredible pair as kazooie rides
around in banjos backpack the two
cooperate well as platforming teammates
and collectors of jiggy’s the puzzle
pieces that unlock further levels don’t
take our word for it
just ask the witch gruntilda whose
nefarious plans often get foiled by the
– number four
Yoshi Super Mario series not only is
this character among the most adorable
in all of gaming thanks to a simple but
memorable design he also makes a
formidable foe for anybody who gets in
his way
originally introduced as a side
character the lovable dinosaur
eventually went on to star in his own
games his long tongue easily allows him
to swallow enemies whole enemies that he
promptly turns into eggs to throw back
at other enemies that’s pretty messed up
when you think about it number three
spyro spyro the dragon series I’ll be
done when I’ve toasted that nasty NORC
don’t let this guy’s pint-sized
appearance fool you he’s one tough
fighter whether he’s ramming his horns
into enemies or dousing them with fire
Spyro proves that great things come in
small packages
toes younger gamers would probably
recognize him better from his Skylanders
adventures while those who grew up with
a ps1 would know him as the best dragon
to barbecue sheep whatever incarnation
you prefer his legacy to appeal to
gamers of different generations gets him
high on this list please do afford me
the sublime honor of enjoy in your
vegetation in the nearest future number
2 Donkey Kong
Donkey Kong series here he is the
character that was Nintendo’s first
breakout star though Mario later
surpassed him to become the company’s
most recognizable character this a
predated him by for years yet donkeys
made a legacy of his own particularly
with his nephew and sidekick Diddy Kong
in the Donkey Kong Country Games and
while he may have been out of action for
the sequels retro studios made sure that
when he returned the limelight was
always on him
before we get to our number one let’s
take a look at some honorable mentions
number one Sonic Sonic the Hedgehog
series
who else to top our list than the
character who has at one time considered
just as big as Mario the blue hedgehog
has become one of the most iconic
characters in all of videogames thanks
to his mischievous smile blistering
speed and all out who persona which was
present even in his 16-bit Genesis
adventures also bringing along with him
iconic characters like Tails and
Knuckles along with a few we’d rather
forget Sonic may have tripped up quite a
bit over the last few years but his
legacy is still undeniable you call it
nothing do you agree with our list which
animal character makes you how with the
moon hey OSCE’s boo a cocoon took food
ooh what for more primal toptenz
