Much like Monkeys, Penguins and Pandas, the duck-billed platypus has achieved a certain level of popularity. The platypus is probably the most iconic aquatic Australian mammal; many advertisements for pools, swimming lessons and fishing gear will use one. It is also used on the Australian 20-cent piece. Some believe that the platypus proves God has a sense of humor, or He's a total psycho, or He's a stoner, or that evolution is 100% real, because not even God could make that nonsense up. The reasons are myriad. This is an animal that, upon being sent to a British natural history museum to catalog, was believed to be a taxidermist's prank until a live specimen was sent to them. It looks like a beaver crossed with a mole with a duck's bill added for laughs. They belong to a group of mammals known as Monotremes, a group consisting of it and the echidna, which means they lay eggs. Additionally, they're an offshoot of mammals that evolved before teats/nipples evolved, so while they produce milk, they simply... sweat it out for their young to lap up. They also have ten sex chromosomes, where in most mammals there're simply two (X and Y). And their duck-bill? It's actually quite soft, and it acts as an electrical receptor. See, platypus eyes aren't too useful, especially underwater, so they use an electrolocation system in their bills to hunt shrimp and other aquatic invertebrates. (Sharks have a similar sense, in case they weren't threatening enough.) Of course, a real platypus tail looks nothing like a beaver's tail, but that doesn't stop the majority of cartoon depictions from showing one anyway, often complete with thumping behavior. The Platypus also has over-sized webbing on their feet that extends past the claws. And to top it off, they're venomous. Yup, male platypi have venomous spurs on their feet, and while not lethal to humans, the cocktail of venom will usually incapacitate people, and can cause you to be in excruciating, incapacitating pain that can develop into a persistent ache for weeks or months. So it won't kill you, but you'll wish it did. So, in short, it's easy to see how humans can become so interested in this goofy-looking creature. Odd appearance, cool features, and the ability to cripple you if you get stupid. What better metaphor for Australia? And it's an Inherently Funny Word. And they swim weirdly. Also, baby playtpi are called "puggles," which is quite possibly the cutest word ever invented, and have been called so since before pugs were crossed with beagles to make the dog breed of the same name (Note: This isn't the official name for a baby platypus, just the most commonly used one. Another just-as-adorable name is "Platypup".). All good things must come to an end, however. This is slowly becoming a Discredited Trope, because it's gotten so that the platypus has become too popular to be considered "obscure" anymore. When a show is supposed to start including a "weird animal" in its cast, expect it to be a platypus. Plus, if you want to talk about them in the plural, expect to confound linguists until the end of time. Is it Platypusses? "Platypi?" ''Platypeople''? Whatever. Platypodes, platypi, and platypuses are all acceptable spellings. "Platypus" being a Latinization of the original Greek word, "platypodes" is correctly regular, and "platypi," with a Latin second-declension ending, is commonly considered incorrect in the same way as "octopi" despite the fact that the second-declension inflection for the Greek-derived "-pus" is also perfectly grammatical in Classical Latin, as seen in various attested forms as "Oedipi" ("Oedipus"), "coronopum" ("coronopus"), "polyporum" ("polypus"). |

The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo had an episode wherein one of the targeted ghosts invades the newspaper comic strips, including Scooby's fave, Platypus Duck. Of course, they meet him and the others—and IIRC, they left the papers to stay in reality at the end. | |

When they did their version of Song of the South on I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again, a representative of Animals' Equity interrupted the proceedings to complain that there were too few parts for wallabies, marsupials and other lesser mammals and lead a group of protesters who successfully demanded: "Brer Rabbit out!

Chaz "Platypus" Villette from Shadow Unit: bizarre and hard to explain even compared to others with freaky mutant powers, unexpectedly dangerous, looks sort of like he was put together from spare parts, and capable of eating half his body weight in a day. Not too much of a stretch, really. | |

In the episode of the animated Hercules where the titular hero misappropriates the legend of Circe, Circe turns the main characters into an entire menagerie of animals, rather than just the regular pigs. Icarus gets turned into a platypus; when he gets into an argument, he threatens the other party with his poisonous spurs, then storms off because he "has some eggs to bury". Um... Well, this is Icarus... |

Mr Chapman in Kevin & Kell. One of the most accepting people when it comes to the eponymous blended family, since he's a blended individual. Most of his appearances are variations on this gag. (He drives a hybrid, his computer is Windows/Linux, he gets robocalls from across the political spectrum because no-one knows how to classify him, and so on.) | |

In 8-Bit Theater, Drizzl assaults the heroes with a 'summoned monster' that has incapacitating spines, breathes fire, and looks like a freakish impossibility of nature. He's dismayed to discover it's just a platypus with a lighter and a bottle of vodka taped to it's soft underbelly. It's other promised features (claws, venomous barbs, being a crime against nature) are technically true, as the platypus does have small claws for burrowing, and the males have small venom barbs on their hind legs, and they're duck-billed mammals which is pretty sinful against nature. Unsurprisingly, he bought the platypus from Akbar and didnt bother to double-check. | |

The heroes and the chief chase him down after accidentally getting their body parts mixed up by the device.

Phineas and Ferb: Perry the Platypus is a quiet, faithful family pet...until he daily dons his fedora as Agent P, secret agent extraordinaire. It's even better in the Latin dub, where he's Perry el Ornitorrinco. That's how platypus is said in Spanish. Yes, it does sound funny. "un australiano, mamífero, semi-acuático, agente." Likewise in the Italian, where he's Perry l'Ornitorinco, and in French, where he's Perry l'Ornithorynque. Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension has a song called "Everything's Better with Perry" Considering that the authors go on this site... |

Psyduck and Golduck from Pokémon are often referred to as ducks in the official media. However, their front limbs aren't wings at all (but another pair of clawed hands) and they don't appear to have any feathers either. This leads to the fan interpretation that they're actually platypi. | |

The Areas of My Expertise, when discussing animal attack movies, suggests that one could be made where all animals attack all humans, because the scene with the platypus alone would be worth the price of admission. In the sequel, More Information Than You Require, the author claims that someone else is now making this movie. Because it's so vague a premise, he is not going to sue, but only asks that he be given a cameo as the guy who gets killed by the duckbilled platypus. IT'S ONLY FAIR. |

Lothar's adopted brother Kyle in Exterminatus Now is a platypus. His bizarre appearance combined with his foolish decision to sell weapons to cultists behind his mercenary dad's back got him captured and tortured by the Inquisition who think he's some kind of chaos mutant. | |

Invader Zim features the titular character dressing up as the 'Easter platypus' during the Christmas Episode and making the people of Earth ignore Dib's attempt at making An Aesop out of the episode. Instead, he convinces them to beat him up. It's worth noting that in Australia, they have the Easter Bilby. Aussies hate bunnies. Chocolate Bilbies are generally sold to raise funds for their conservation. Only the adults hate bunnies. |

The movie Dogma opens with a disclaimer that religious people who may be offended by the film look at the duck-billed platypus and consider that God must have a sense of humor. This is followed by another disclaimer, apologizing to the "noble" platypus and emphasizing that "it is not our intention to slight these stupid creatures in any way." | |

Stellaris lets you choose from a vast array of alien creatures that often resemble Earth animals when you set up custom empires — butterflies, penguins, cockroaches, horses... you name it. Platypi weren't originially included in the roster, but the devs eventually acquiesced to popular demand and added them as well. And There Was Much Rejoicing among the fandom. | |
