A character, often but not Always Female and The Hero(ine) of the piece, is shown to be almost supernaturally innocent, sweet, altruistic, or any combination thereof, by the way that all manner of wild forest creatures flock to her. Deer will shyly eat out of her hand, chipmunks will frolic at her feet, and birds will alight on her finger, shoulder or head (and not void their bowels while doing so). If the character is male (usually in reference to St. Francis of Assisi being the patron saint of animals) he will instead be shown as wise, calm and kind-hearted. Any other person approaching will break the spell and send the timid woodland animals fleeing, but not before they witness the supernatural wonder of their loving heart in action. As for the animals, they will all be cute in most examples. This usually does not extend to Always Chaotic Evil species, and virtually never towards the Big Bad. Sometimes it does, though, developing some very interesting hero-villain interactions. Sometimes, the heroine has such influence over the wild creatures that they will perform small tasks for her. In the case of gods or saints, flowers will spring up at their feet. Some works acknowledge that the ability to befriend any living thing could be a LOT more impressive than it seems. It's easy to forget that the same princess whose singing summons an entire forest full of animals could, if she so chooses, send her animal friends to beat the tar out of you. Being Friend To All Living Things will sometimes also mean the person is a Fluffy Tamer, in which case they're even friends to snarling, terrifying living things. This is often parodied. If the parody is clearly referencing the Disney Animated Canon examples, it falls under Disney Creatures of the Farce, and the examples should go there. A frequent attribute of the All-Loving Hero and Princess Classic. Although a Common Mary Sue Trait it does not necessarily make a character such. With females, this may be related to the myth that only a virgin girl may approach a unicorn. While Friend to All Children sounds similar, it isn't necessarily the same thing—and, unlike this, is about just as likely to be a male trait as a female one. A Sub-Trope of Nature Lover. A Sister Trope to Green Thumb, Fluffy Tamer (a friend to dangerous living things), Nature Hero (especially a female one) and Nature-Loving Robot (When the character is a robot). Compare Cloudcuckoolander, Licked by the Dog, Better with Non-Human Company, and Good Taming, Evil Taming. Contrast Evil-Detecting Dog, Enemy to All Living Things, Animals Hate Him, Bad People Abuse Animals, and Cruella to Animals. This is not to be confused with Animal Lover. While most Friends to All Living Things are Animal Lovers, they are not the same trope. Basically, an Animal Lover likes animals (but animals don't necessarily like them back), while a Friend to All Living Things is liked by animals (but doesn't necessarily like them back). |

Mermaids of Eriana Kwai: Eriana, the legendary Founder of the Kingdom, was born with a special gift for getting animals to do what she wanted. During a period of starvation, she summoned a herd of caribou so her people could slaughter and eat them. The Gaela, the goddess who gave Eriana her power, was so furious at her for abusing it that she sent the Aanil Uusha, the incarnation of death, to kill her entire tribe. He spared Eriana's life for reasons that are no longer remembered. Eriana traveled from her homeland to the island that now bears her name, where she spent the rest of her life protecting the animals of the island. | |

The Barre family gift in Annals of the Western Shore gives its holder the potential to be this. It's often used to call animals so they can be hunted more easily, but Gry refuses to use it for that purpose and remains squarely within this trope. | |

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance: Deet starts her journey as an animal caretaker in the Grottan caves. Being attacked by Darkening-affected creatures does nothing to quell her love for animals, which continues even after she reaches the surface. Whenever she can, she tries to befriend all the creatures she meets. Which makes her becoming a Walking Wasteland after absorbing the Darkening to save her friends all the more tragic. | |

Nobilis: everything becomes like this within the confines of the 3e Locust Court, which can end very badly when you leave if you, say, picked up a disease that your body refused to harm. Characters who want to get in on this outside said Chancel can probably get by using the Afflictions system, which allows for things such as "Animals like me (3)", which means that miracles will periodically surround the character with cheerful and happy deer and whatnot, and you will get three miracle points whenever your entourage gets you into trouble. | |

Cthulhu Mythos: Subverted with Nyarlatothep, who is described as having wild beasts licking his hands, and in some RPGs based on the mythos, it is specifically mentioned that no animal can attack him. This is probably related to his unnatural charisma and has some effect on people too (he tends to gather a large following wherever he goes). He's the exact opposite of sweet and innocent. Played somewhat straight in The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath, where Randolph Carter befriends the cats living in the dream world. He aids them on several occasions, and is aided by them in return. |

Beauty and the Beast: Downplayed. Birds flock to Belle, but they abandon her for the Beast when they see he's got more food, and her trusty horse likes her well enough, but tries to run away when she's being attacked by wolves. Belle tries to talk to farm animals, but they don't seem to understand what she's saying, so it's just another reason for the townspeople to think she's insane. | |

Red Puckett in Hoodwinked!, if her song "Great Big World" is any indication. Many of the creatures of the forest know her by her first name, but she is their delivery girl. In that number, there's also a scene where hummingbirds carry her on her bike across a river (the Wolf, who is observing her through the bushes, comments, "Whoa! Creepy!"). After the sour encounter with the Wolf, Red tricks him into falling off a cliff by handing her hooded cloak off to these same hummingbirds. Flippers lampshades it by reassuring Granny that the only thing Red is guilty of is "flying a swarm of hummingbirds without a license". Red is not a total Friend to All Living Things, though, as she does use physical violence on the Wolf and on Boingo at separate points in the movie. | |

In Jurassic World, Velociraptor-trainer Owen Grady shows genuine care for every dinosaur he encounters and has somehow managed to train four of the most dangerous animals on Earth. He is the only person the raptor sisters won't kill on sight. However, when it comes to the Indominus rex, even Owen doesn't want anything to do with it. He calls Claire and InGen out for isolating and mistreating it, and beyond his general suspicion of a novel hybrid, his disgusted dialogue with Claire amounts to "Thanks to you guys, it's too late for anything to make friends with this one." | |

Inverted in Darkest Powers with Derek, who tends to send animals into screaming fits of rage or fear just by being within a fifty-foot radius of them. He explains this to Chloe as, being that he’s a werewolf, the animals see a human but smell something entirely different, which makes them nervous. It’s still hilarious when he mentions that a Chihuahua randomly attacked him at one point and took a chunk out of his hand, though. | |

A minor example in Kushiel's Legacy. The novice Liliane looks after the animals of the monastery and its visitors. The main characters' horses trail faithfully after her when she meets them and seem to prosper in her care. It's implied that at some point she suffered a head injury and is "simple" because of it; one character describes her as being touched by the gods. | |

An interesting variation in 100 Cupboards with Caleb, a Rare Male Example and a Badass Normal. He still fits the trope, though, travelling with a dog and a flock of befriended hawks, and even charms an injured wolf at one point. | |

Garfield: One strip had Garfield parody the trope, while relaxing on the farm, where a bunch of cute animals gather around him. He then says: "Walt Disney, eat your heart out." In an early Sunday comic, where he was out expressing that he loves all the animals in the field he was in, and invited them to his home for dinner, much to Jon Arbuckle's shock. In another Sunday comic, a bunch of cute woodland creatures gather around Pooky and even a rainbow appears behind them. Disgusted, Garfield says "That's even too much for me..." and leaves. |

Discworld: Subverted in Moving Pictures. When sending for a new archchancellor, the wizards select Ridcully the Brown on the note that he loves nature and speaks to animals, and assume that he will be very naive and easy to murder because of this trope. Turns out, he's an avid hunter—his speaking involves yelling at birds to shut up—and damn near impossible to kill to boot. He single-handedly stops the University's tradition of Klingon Promotion. It is said that he does a lot for rare animals, mainly, keeping them rare. In Wyrd Sisters the population of the local forest, carnivore and herbivore alike, shows up on Granny Weatherwax's front lawn, in an attempt to silently guilt her into getting a new king of Lancre. Subverted in that her response is to say, "I don't know what's going on, but when it wears off, some of you buggers better be quick on your feet or you'll be lunch." Geoffrey in The Shepherd's Crown is a straight example; a strict vegetarian who hates the idea of hurting any living creature, he has a keen insight into animals and an amazing calming effect on them. Including humans. |

The open-minded Pocahontas is a particularly intense example. She has her raccoon and hummingbird companions; though the weirdest moment is probably during Colors of the Wind, where she helps show John Smith the importance of understanding living creatures by picking up a bear cub in front of its mother. She's even friends with a willow tree. | |

Lissa Dragomir from Vampire Academy. She loves animals and they love her. She has her roommate's cat cozying up to her, and heals a raven. That is why Victor and Natalie Dashkov brutalize animals — to see if she can work her spirit magic on them. Unfortunately they tend to be beyond help when she finds them, and the one time they're not beyond help Rose stops her from healing them. | |

Keladry of Protector of the Small has no wild magic, but she has a habit of taking in strays and nursing injured animals even before she goes to the palace for knight training. Once she gets there, the animals become companions and quasi-sentient helpers because Daine's proximity has made them more intelligent and therefore inclined to assist their benefactor. | |

Subverted in Dumnestor's Heroes by Dark Lordess Tyfnee. She first appears in silhouette with what looks like a bird, a butterfly and a fawn cuddling up to her while she sings about how her broken heart will be made whole when she finds the man she's looking for. The last panel reveals that the animals are actually a bat, a moth and a hyena, and the last line of Tyfnee's song is her need for vengeance. | |

Wolverine zigzags this trope; on one hand, he’s killed a lot of bears that have attacked him and once used a polar bear's hide for warmth, but on the other hand he gets along fantastically with his own namesake animals as well as wolves and dogs. This love for canines stretches back to Wolverine's past where he had pet dog named Callie which Logan adored; then his illegitimate brother slit its throat to spite him. As an adult Wolverine bonded with a pack of Wolves◊ and lived with them for multiple years until WW1. Wolverine can even sense animals' feelings, which is one of his more bizarre powers. | |

Subverted in The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, where Ford Prefect stands alone in a field, smiling serenely. A deer comes up and rubs against him, whereupon Ford immediately reaches out and breaks its neck. He attributes the effect to "pheromone control" and notes, "You just need to emit the right smell". Ford learned the technique from a couple of ex-Pralite Monks, whose devotional training gives them amazing mental control. It's specifically mentioned that most Pralite Monks leave the order "just after finishing their devotional training and just before taking their final vows to remain locked in small metal boxes for the rest of their lives." | |

Dungeons & Dragons: The Binder class from Tome of Magic in the 3.5 rules has a vestige that grants an even better ability more in keeping with this trope. Animals start with a default attitude of friendly toward the Binder when this vestige is bound. Animal Empathy, by contrast, requires a check. A subversion can be found in the 2E AD&D monster-books, which describe how ordinary rats or mice will emerge from hiding because they're drawn to a wererat's presence, timidly following the lycanthrope around. D&D wererats, as it happens, are Always Lawful Evil and are Friends to Nobody. An 2E issue of Dragon introduced the liminals, a race of Half Human Hybrids descended from water elementals with the power to befriend marine animals, especially dolphins. Fey in general in the game are like this, but especially nymphs. One edition states that wildlife love them so much that they forget their instincts as far as predator and prey are concerned, and animals who are natural enemies gather together with each other simply to flock around the nymph to be petted and caressed. |

X-Men Film Series Wolverine despite being very violent actually plays this trope the best in these movies (likely because he is animalistic himself) from befriending a house cat in X2: X-Men United to a massive grizzly bear in the The Wolverine. X-Men: Apocalypse: Nina's "friends" are all forest animals (especially birds) and her mutant ability allows her to command them. So it's horribly ironic when she gets an arrow though her and her mother's chest directly because she summoned birds to protect her daddy Magneto from Mutant-haters. |

Harry Potter Rubeus Hagrid, a Gentle Giant Fluffy Tamer, loves all kinds of creatures and especially ones with massive talons, fangs, scales, and poisonous stings. Hagrid was heartbroken when his Hippogriff buckbeak was put to death in the Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, then was overjoyed when he escaped and Hagrid was a weeping mess when Aragog his Giant Spider died in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Hagrid also gets along with domestic animals like his beloved boarhound Fang, looked after Ron's pet rat Scabbers ( Peter Pettigrew was just hiding in Hagrid's hut) and Hagrid is the one who got Headwig the owl for Harry in the first place. Newton Scamander from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them gives Hagrid a run for his money when it comes to this trope as he is such a Fluffy Tamer he keeps dozens of superbeasts (some of which are classified as untameable) in his suitcase at all times and goes around the globe protecting them from wizards as a Zoologist. The only time we see Newt flip out in Fantastic Beasts is when his creatures are taken from him by the American Ministry of Magic, Newt even yells hysterically that they're harmless as he's being pulled away. At one point Newt even Invokes Humans Are the Real Monsters, stating that being in New York City his creatures are in danger while surrounded by the most dangerous beasts of all. Luna Lovegood invokes this in the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix with the Thestrals as unlike in the books she literally goes out and feeds them raw meat barefoot. Neville with Trevor his toad and assorted magical plants. |

Cinderella begins with the kind heroine's animal friends waking her up in the morning and helping her shower and get dressed. They also make her a dress while she's too busy with her chores, and eventually end up saving the day in the end. In a deleted scene, the Prince was this as well, playing a hunting game with a deer. | |

In the Tortall Universe by Tamora Pierce: Veralidaine Serrasri of The Immortals gets along famously with animals of all kind right from the start of the story. Somewhat unusually, she does admit to playing favorites with some species (bats and wolves) and disliking others (chickens, who she finds offensively stupid). It turns out her Wild Magic has something to do with it, making animals see her as one of them even before she can control her powers. And it turns out to go even further than that — of course she and animals will love each other, she's basically a nature demigoddess. There's a villainous example with the Emperor Ozorne. He loves animals, especially birds, and goes to great lengths to provide the best care possible to them, even having any that can't thrive in captivity released back to their homes and fretting when they're sick. His birds love and trust him back, and when he sees how dedicated Daine is in caring for them he starts to like her as well. The Numair Chronicles, which have a younger, initially kinder Ozorne, show that he's had this trait for a long time. Animal abuse was a Berserk Button. And if he was only in charge of aviaries etc that would be fine, but as The Emperor this trait is if anything a kind of Kick the Dog - he only loves animals and is indifferent to famines, mass deaths, and the fates of the people under his command as he goes into full A God Am I mode. Another character cautions Daine that if she voices a suspicion about the birds having been poisoned, even accidentally, Ozorne will have the slaves responsible for feeding them tortured and killed. Near the end of Emperor Mage, he decides to keep Daine as he genuinely likes her, and doesn't understand that she doesn't also only care about animals and may have strong opinions about him trying to kill her friends and invade her home. Keladry of Protector of the Small has no wild magic, but she has a habit of taking in strays and nursing injured animals even before she goes to the palace for knight training. Once she gets there, the animals become companions and quasi-sentient helpers because Daine's proximity has made them more intelligent and therefore inclined to assist their benefactor. |

Ant-Man, his wife The Wasp and later Scott Lang can summon and have a good relationship with ants of all kinds; they often go underground to hives and take rides on them. Though they’re not above sacrificing hundreds of ants in kamikaze attacks, or making a makeshift raft with them, drowning heaps of ants. | |

Musashi Haruno from Ultraman Cosmos, a Martial Pacifist who hopes that some day humans and kaiju will be able to coexist peacefully, as he believes that giant monsters have the right to live in peace so long as they don't deliberately disrupt the peace of other beings. Cosmos himself thinks the same way, which is probably why he picked Musashi as his human host. In fact they've even successfully befriended a few of the monsters they've subdued over the course of the series. | |

The Goodies. After Tim Brooke-Taylor becomes Bigfoot (his right foot has swollen from walking around the sides of mountains, looking for legendary creatures) he retreats to the wild (so people will stop laughing themselves to death over the sight of his enormous foot) and becomes friends to all the animals, who join him in a rendition of the "Bigfoot" theme song. | |

In Wyrd Sisters the population of the local forest, carnivore and herbivore alike, shows up on Granny Weatherwax's front lawn, in an attempt to silently guilt her into getting a new king of Lancre. Subverted in that her response is to say, "I don't know what's going on, but when it wears off, some of you buggers better be quick on your feet or you'll be lunch." | |

Vince Noir from The Mighty Boosh can talk to animals and is referred to as Mowgli in Flares — although he often "squanders" his gift by talking to the animals at the zoo about Gary Numan and and dressing the lion up as Adam Ant. Sometimes his boundless charisma does prove useful, however. | |

Jailbreak from The Emoji Movie. She removes her wig and hat to reveal her crown and then uses some of her princess powers to summon a ride home. First she whistles sweetly and dances and then whistles more authoritatively. As the Twitter icon flaps into view, High Five exclaims, "Birds do love princesses! It's not a myth." | |

The Adventure Zone: Balance, Magnus Burnsides is absolutely nuts about animals, especially dogs. He also shows serious reluctance every time he needs to kill an animal, even in self defence. He even hesitates to harm a Hunger-corrupted rhinoceros, which is essentially a mindless mass of destructive energy that was once an animal. | |

Wonder Woman: Wonder Woman talks with dogs and birds several times. In "The Girl from Ilandia", she gives telepathic commands to the eponymous Ilandian's rescued dog, Tiger. He is apparently imbued by Wonder Woman with the intelligence to understand fairly complex orders and carry them out. Tiger even tracks down Diana Prince rather than Wonder Woman, although he did it by scent. | |

Animorphs: Cassie gets along swimmingly with all the animals at her farm, and has such affinity for critters that it makes her the best morpher in the group. She's also quite dismayed to find that her friends think she'd put the lives of animals over their own. Note that it wasn't even a question of killing an animal but eating a polar bear's leftovers (a dead baby seal). | |

The Disney Princesses are famous for this. Snow White is probably the Ur-example. Watch the scene on YouTube, starting around 3:20. She's a sweetheart, and friendly woodland creatures flock to her when she's upset, and even help her with housework. Surprisingly, Brom Bones from The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad. While sharing beer with his buddies, he kindly smashes open the beer barrel top so his horse and the dogs can share a drink too. Cinderella begins with the kind heroine's animal friends waking her up in the morning and helping her shower and get dressed. They also make her a dress while she's too busy with her chores, and eventually end up saving the day in the end. In a deleted scene, the Prince was this as well, playing a hunting game with a deer. The gentle Briar Rose (Princess Aurora) in Sleeping Beauty has a host of animal friends who steal the prince's clothes so they could assemble together as a kind of homemade dream prince. Beauty and the Beast: Downplayed. Birds flock to Belle, but they abandon her for the Beast when they see he's got more food, and her trusty horse likes her well enough, but tries to run away when she's being attacked by wolves. Belle tries to talk to farm animals, but they don't seem to understand what she's saying, so it's just another reason for the townspeople to think she's insane. The open-minded Pocahontas is a particularly intense example. She has her raccoon and hummingbird companions; though the weirdest moment is probably during Colors of the Wind, where she helps show John Smith the importance of understanding living creatures by picking up a bear cub in front of its mother. She's even friends with a willow tree. Downplayed with Rapunzel from Tangled, who has a pet chameleon and manages to befriend Maximus, although she goes out of her way to do so by petting and cooing over him in order to convince him to postpone his capture of Flynn for a day so he can take her to see the floating lights for her birthday. It helps that Maximus is a trained horse with intelligence that at least matches that of an average human, and possibly exceeds it, who can be reasoned with when talked to. He even becomes an actual member of the Royal Guard and becomes friends with his former enemy, Flynn Rider, after the latter reforms. Downplayed Trope with the compassionate Anna from Frozen, whose horse flees when it gets spooked during a quest to rescue Anna's sister and kingdom, but who also manages to attract and befriend a group of baby ducks during "For the First Time in Forever", can tame Hans's horse and quickly befriends Kristoff's reindeer Sven. Ralph Breaks the Internet has an Homage when the Disney Princesses are quizzing Vanellope. At one point, Cinderella asks, "Do animals talk to you?" As she says this, she is flanked by Jasmine petting Rajah and Pocahontas with Meeko on her arm, all while Cinderella herself is carrying Gus and one of the female mice in her hands and has Jaq and the birds from her film perched all over her. |

Odd Squad: Those working in the Creature Control department often fall under this trope. One such person is Agent Ocean, who runs the Creature Room at Precinct 13579 and is a Fluffy Tamer who cares for all sorts of odd creatures, to such an extent that he is more than willing to risk his own life to give one a chance at survival. It helps that he's also incredibly laid-back, and hardly anything fazes him. | |

In Jim C Hines's The Princess Series, Danielle ("Cinderwench") is often underestimated because she has no obvious skills or magic.

Newton Scamander from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them gives Hagrid a run for his money when it comes to this trope as he is such a Fluffy Tamer he keeps dozens of superbeasts (some of which are classified as untameable) in his suitcase at all times and goes around the globe protecting them from wizards as a Zoologist. The only time we see Newt flip out in Fantastic Beasts is when his creatures are taken from him by the American Ministry of Magic, Newt even yells hysterically that they're harmless as he's being pulled away. At one point Newt even Invokes Humans Are the Real Monsters, stating that being in New York City his creatures are in danger while surrounded by the most dangerous beasts of all. | |

In Tales from the Floating Vagabond, characters with the Doolittle Effect can instantly befriend all but the most aggressive animals. The downside is that animals tend to follow the PC around, seeking their attention and affection. | |

Why Women Kill: Bertram Filcott is an Affably Evil variant. Despite being a Serial Killer (albeit of the Obliviously Evil variety), he's well-liked in his community, and has a day job as a vet, which he's quite good at. The narrator notes that the animals under his care genuinely love him. In a dark twist, this makes him very good when it comes time to put a sick or injured pet down—he doesn't like it, but it is very much part of the job, and he's comforting and gentle to both the animal and the owner. While he works, he makes the pet comfortable and gives a sweet speech about how loved they are, and how now their pain can end. He's also quick to assure the grieving owner that it's more merciful to let the pet die painlessly than have them live in pain. It just so happens he applies the exact same logic when deciding whether or not to kill a human. | |

Barbarella in Barbarella manages to combine 1960s softcore erotica with a superhuman innocence: she gives an angel the inspiration to fly again, she manages to befriend the only decent people in a City of Evil, and she goes beyond a Friend to All Living Things when she feels sorry for the Excessive Machine after it burns down because she was more than it could handle. The only people who manage to dislike her to the end turn out to be the irredeemably evil characters in the film. | |

In Weasley Girl, an AU where Ron Weasley was born a girl, Veronica "Ronnie" Weasley is this, combined with Fluffy Tamer—according to Word of God this being a case of Flanderization of how animals in canon would occasionally take a liking to Ron for no particular reason. Ronnie's penchant for befriending animals does not extend to humans, though; she's got too much of Ron's temper, insensitivity, and foot-in-mouth syndrome for that. | |

El Goonish Shive: Grace is a downplayed version. Animals don't flock to her but she can befriend any animal she encounters and sometimes ask them to do things. It helps that she Speaks Fluent Animal using her antennae. She has requested ordinary squirrels to guide her to a destination, and can keep a large, agitated, wild boar calm enough to converse with it without it immediately attacking her. Susan appears to be this in a filler strip where she's surrounded by friendly animals. There is no evidence of this in canon, however, besides Jeremy. |

American TV personality and bear attack victim Timothy Treadwell really, really wanted to be this trope, and many of the film stubs he left behind show him playing with and adoring wild animals. Unfortunately (unlike Steve Irwin) he had very little practical sense for conservationism and probably did more harm than good, not to mention he was eventually killed by a bear who didn't reciprocate his fondness. His life was dramatized in Grizzly Man. | |

Hiccup in How to Train Your Dragon becomes this, at least to dragons. He gets to the point that he can win over the trust of virtually any dragon (except for the humongous ones). He actually does at least earn the tolerance of the good Bewilderbeast in the second movie, simply by not being an asshole to him or any of his wards. The Red Death from the first movie is a vicious cannibal whose own brood is afraid of her, and in the sequel, Hiccup is simply incapable of overriding the sheer amount of abuse the Bad Bewilderbeast had suffered under Drago's command. Must be genetic as Hiccup’s mother Valka unlike the rest of the vikings cared deeply for dragons to the point where she refused to return to Berk after being carried off by one and lived among them. Valka is delighted that her son shares her ministrations and eventfully returns home knowing everyone now loves dragons as much as she does. |

Subverted in Moving Pictures. When sending for a new archchancellor, the wizards select Ridcully the Brown on the note that he loves nature and speaks to animals, and assume that he will be very naive and easy to murder because of this trope. Turns out, he's an avid hunter—his speaking involves yelling at birds to shut up—and damn near impossible to kill to boot. He single-handedly stops the University's tradition of Klingon Promotion. It is said that he does a lot for rare animals, mainly, keeping them rare. | |

She brought home her cat Buttercup, who only likes her, as a mangy, worm-infested stray (Katniss wanted to drown him), adores her goat, Lady (Katniss prefers to think of her as a source of milk and money), and utterly failed at learning to hunt because she would cry over and want to heal any animal that Katniss shot. | |

Ultraman X gives us Musashi's Spiritual Successor in Daichi Oozora, who has many of the same dreams and ideals — also shared by his titular Ultra. Since most of the kaiju in the series are normally in Sleep-Mode Size, Daichi and X keep them in that form and work towards bonding with the creatures and eventually reviving them to their full size. | |

Disney also gave us a rare male example in the form of Antonio Madrigal from Encanto. Like all of his family members (except for Mirabel), he gains a magical superpower when he turns five years old. In his case, it's the ability to talk to animals. He quickly befriends toucans, coatimundis, capybaras, tapirs, and even a jaguar, which lets him ride around on its back. | |

Downplayed with Rapunzel from Tangled, who has a pet chameleon and manages to befriend Maximus, although she goes out of her way to do so by petting and cooing over him in order to convince him to postpone his capture of Flynn for a day so he can take her to see the floating lights for her birthday. It helps that Maximus is a trained horse with intelligence that at least matches that of an average human, and possibly exceeds it, who can be reasoned with when talked to. He even becomes an actual member of the Royal Guard and becomes friends with his former enemy, Flynn Rider, after the latter reforms. | |

Footrot Flats: Wal's best friend Cooch, although, unusually for this trope, he isn't a vegetarian and will kill animals to eat. At one point he removes swarming bees from Wal's house by walking up with neither protective gear nor smoke, tugging the branch, and dumping the swarm into a cardboard box, and seems to get away without any stings. | |

Zach Arbelt is constantly surrounded by forest animals of all kinds who sing his praises, but they don't want to help him; most of them want help from him, begging him for miracles he cannot fulfill, all because he accidentally stumbled into the position of prophet for the forest's religion. | |

In Dream's "3 Hunters Finale Rematch" video, Dream seems to get help from animals at every turn. The first portion of the video has him tame wolves that he uses to counter the hunters' own wolves (though this trope is later called into question when he kills one of his own). He also uses a strider to get through the Nether (and later steals one of the hunters' own). When he leaves the Nether and is left to fall to his death, he is later saved by a horse (as clicking on a horse to ride it negates fall damage). And then, when swimming away from the hunters, he gets four dolphins on his side, giving him a massive speed boost. And Dream outright lampshades this trope, referring to himself in the bonus video as a Disney princess. | |

The Hobbit: Beorn is a Nature Hero and WereBear who keeps many animals on his plantations, all of whom directly serve with the animal speaking Beorn. Beorn is a vegetarian, doesn't use anything made from dead animals, and lives off a diet of cream and honey from his huge bees. The only animals Beorn will kill are the innately evil Wargs/Wolves; those animals Beorn will kill and skin without hesitation. Thranduil is described as being surrounded by birds and animals when he is first seen. This helps establish that although he has a hard exterior because of being betrayed and abandoned, he genuinely does have a good heart. This is also Tolkien making a conceptual link between ruling a nation and stewardship of the land. Thranduil is not just the King of the elves, but also the caretaker of the forest: not only responsible for the well-being of his subjects, but also for maintaining the balance of nature. His grief at his wife's passing is distracting him from both his ability to rule his people, and his ability to maintain the forest. |
