A Comedy Trope where an animal who appears to be very large gets wet or loses its fur (or hair, feathers, wool, scales, or whatever) in some fashion, revealing that its body is actually rather small underneath. The animal itself may react by blushing, acting embarrassed, or acting like a human whose clothing has suddenly disappeared, while onlookers laugh at the comical sight. This trope has some basis in Real Life: When threatened, many animals will puff out their fur, feathers, or whatever they have covering their bodies to make themselves look bigger and scare away potential predators or rivals. Related: Compressed Hair: A large volume of hair can be easily stuffed into something like a hat or hood. Fluffy Dry Cat: The inverted version — when a wet animal is dried, its fur will poof up and make it look huge. Fur Is Clothing: Fur/skin/feathers/scales acting like clothing. I Am Big Boned: A character takes offense to being called fat. |

Adventure Time: The Ice King looks quite rotund at first glance. However, the moment his robes come off, he's revealed to be skeletally thin. | |

Some cold weather dogs like Huskies tend to be far thinner than they may initially appear. There are videos out there of Huskies walking through gates which appear far too small for them to fit through like they are a T-1000. | |

Digimon Ghost Game: Angoramon is a zigzagged example, due to a case of Bizarre Alien Biology with his fluff. On one hand, when wet, he is shown to be thin, and his partner Ruli can wrap her arms around him when hugging him. In other scenes his body looks and acts as if he is as heavy as he looks - getting stuck in small spaces, bounce around, people can cling to his fluff, and the ground quakes with his steps. | |

The Rising of the Shield Hero: Filo is a filolial queen, much larger and apparently rounder than the average filolial. But most of her bulk is revealed to be feathers when Princess Melty is able to bury her whole body in Filo's down and vanish from sight. | |

Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon: In "I Choose Paradise!", the Ultra Guardians spend a day at a spa resort, and Altaria, well-known for its fluffy, cloud-like wings, gets soaked. Its wings are then shown to be very small and thin compared to their normal appearance. | |

Abby Hatcher: In "Grumbles Goes Down the Drain", Grumbles the Gentle Giant reveals that he Hates Baths because he thinks he'll slide down the drain. Abby claims he can't fit down there, and when she fills the tub with water, he's revealed to be extremely lean under his fur (and then he does go down the drain). Later episodes, however, retcon this and say that he is naturally chubby and getting wet causes him to get leaner automatically. | |

Open Season: Zigzagged — Boog weighs 900 pounds, but a Running Gag is people thinking he's actually 1,200 pounds, to his annoyance. He claims that he looks 100 pounds heavier due to his fur, but also that he's gaining weight to hibernate. | |

Garfield: In one strip, Jon tells Garfield he can eat once he has lost some weight. Garfield leaves the room and comes back hairless, skinny, and holding a shaver, much to Jon's shock. | |

SPY×FAMILY: Bond is a large and fluffy dog. In "Part of the Family," after an adventure saving a puppy from a burning building, his fur catches fire and Loid has to throw water on him. This causes his fur to lose its volume and reveals that he has a skinny body underneath. | |

Quick Draw McGraw: In the short "Lamb Chopped", Snagglepuss (in his first appearance) keeps trying to steal McGraw's sheep for dinner. But when he finally snags one and shears it, he finds that underneath its thick fleece the poor thing is nothing but skin and bones. Snagglepuss loses his appetite and returns it. | |

Palworld: Exaggerated with Wumpo, a large, yeti-like Pal whose entire body is nothing but hair. When some researchers caught one and tried to shave it, there was nothing underneath, and they ended up with a pile of lifeless hair. | |

Pokémon: Hatterene is a nearly 7-foot-tall Pokémon who resembles a tall, beautiful woman, but most of her "body" is actually her long hair. Her real body is very small and thin underneath, and looks like this. | |

Ask Fluffle Puff: Fluffle Puff looks like a big round ball of pink fluff. On one occasion when she ended up in a full-body cast after an incident with some Fourth of July fireworks, it revealed that she has a pony-sized and -shaped body underneath. | |

Delicious in Dungeon: Subverted. One of the supplementary comics has Mikbell shaving Kuro on a very hot day, under the guise of helping Kuro cool off, but actually because he thought it would be funny to make Kuro scrawny and hairless (with a thought bubble showing what he thought would happen). He's disturbed to discover Kuro is actually ripped underneath his fur and forces him to put a shirt on (making him even more uncomfortably hot than before). | |
