| Genial Giraffe | comment |
When giraffes appear in fiction, they're often nice and heroic. There are quite a few reasons for this, although it may mainly be based on their appearance. Their bright golden fur and recognizable spot pattern looks appealing, and their Long Necks are often seen as comical. Their tall bodies, long eyelashes, and short, rounded horns give them a Gentle Giant appearance. It helps that real giraffes actually are fairly passive. They aren't very territorial, but very social. Giraffes do fight, with their horns and long necks, but they're more well known for striding gracefully across the savanna. Also, it's rare for them to attack humans. As a result, fictional giraffes tend to be gentle, caring characters rather than fighters. It also helps that giraffes are ungulates, a group of hoofed mammals that also includes deer, pigs, and other animals that often have good reputations. Sub-Trope of Herbivores Are Friendly. Often overlaps with The Quiet One due to the myth that giraffes are mute. Compare The Marvelous Deer, Honorable Elephant and Gentle Gorilla for the other tropes regarding gentle giant herbivores. Also compare Huggy, Huggy Hippos, although hippos are omnivores and much less passive than giraffes. |

In World of Warcraft, giraffes that roam Barrens (and have antelope-like horns) are among the friendlier Beast-type creatures, as they don't attack the players unless the players attack first. | |

Bravelands: Giraffes are introduced when Fearless the lion is on the hunt for a hyena that raided his baboon troop's territory. They act friendly (though are also kind of condescending). It's played more straight in a Sky-centric chapter, where Sky's little cousin Moon plays happily near giraffes, and one giraffe happily tells Sky that they don't mind Moon playing near them as long as he doesn't trip them. | |

The Ant and the Elephant: Subverted. When the hornbill asks the giraffe to help lift her and her egg back up to her nest, he haughtily refuses, believing that he'd look like an idiot. And when the elephant untangles the vine that gets wrapped around his legs, he just gallops away without a word of thanks. | |

One episode of The Wild Thornberrys has a giraffe which was seen as a hero by a herd of animals since he watches out for predators due to his long neck. He turns out to be a selfish jerk who briefly abandons the herd to look for more leaves to eat and doesn't bother to thank Eliza when she watches his back while he drinks. He does have a Jerkass Realization near the end, just in time to save Eliza and Darwin from a lioness. | |

Averted with Angry Lawrence, another giraffe who is perpetually angry due to being sunburned. He makes no attempt to be friendly at all. |

Kaku from One Piece is a rare evil version. He's an agent of Cipher Pol 9, a black ops organisation of the World Government, and ate a rare Devil Fruit that gives him the ability to turn into a giraffe. Beware the Silly Ones very much applies to him, because he's also a Master Swordsman who can fight with Razor Wind, but Kaku's such an Affably Evil person that you can't really hate him: he's certainly a lot nicer than his superiors Rob Lucci and Spandam. | |

In the Silly Symphonies short, "Elmer Elephant", the titular character befriends Joe Giraffe, an elderly giraffe who wears several collars. The elderly giraffe empathizes with Elmer for being teased by the other animals, as they used to tease him as well. He and the pelicans also assist Elmer in putting out a fire that breaks out at Tillie Tiger's house. | |

In the one scene of the comic she has appeared in thus far, she is shown taking good care of Kid Dies, a young patient.
