Mechanical Animals	comment	Robot Animals are a form of robot which takes a heavy resemblance to animals, coincidental or not. When they appear in works, expect them to be the Team Pet or Loyal Animal Companion to the other members (although not always). They may also be used due to the fact that Robots Are Just Better - they don't smell or create excrement, and you can install weapons and other nifty devices onto them, not like an actual animal. Finally, they may sometimes be used in locations where living animals are not allowed, (so for instance, apartments with strict no-animal rules and in space where living animals are at risk of dying). On the Sliding Scale of Robot Intelligence, expect them to be a 2 (cute, but not intelligent), although others have been depicted on other levels. They may be depicted as Mechanical Lifeforms and usually form part of a Mechanical Ecosystem. Super-Trope to Robot Dog, Mechanical Horse, and Mechanical Insects. Related to Animal Mecha and Clockwork Creature. Super-sized versions of these are covered under Robeast. This trope is not to be confused with the music album Mechanical Animals.

While normally smaller animals such as foxes and turtles do get upscaled in the anime and toys to accommodate human pilots, normally large animals like elephants, whales, and dinosaurs are also present. The zoids can be upgraded with better armor and weaponry, with a few special ones such as the the lion-like ligers and the T-Rex like genos being able to undergo evolution. Later series introduced smaller zoids that could attach and augment the larger ones naturally, such as an owl that could enhance the sensory input of its partner.

Mechanical Animals / int_b7296d31	comment	My-HiME gives us the CHILDs, mechanical beasts that serve as summon creatures to protect their individual HiME. They are fueled by the love a HiME feels for her most important person, and their death equals the death of that person. The growth of that love also equals a growth in their power. Mai has Kagutsuchi, something of a cross between a phoenix, a dragon, and an aircraft with jet engines, who, at one point, blasts off to outer space to deal with a Kill Sat. Natsuki has Duran, a mechanical wolf with built in artillery with her choice of specialized shells for different effects, Chrome Cartridge for explosive ordinance, Silver Cartridge for ice barrage, and Flash Cartridge for blinding flashes of light. He can also change into a flying mode when called for, allowing Natsuki to ride him into battle. When Natsuki realizes that she actually loves Shizuru, he grows from the size of her motorcycle to Kaiju-size. Akira has Gennai, a giant frog with huge floodlights for a special shadow-pinning ninja attack, and a huge retractable mace for a tongue. Shiho has Yatagarasu, a dark, crowlike beast with a laser beam from its mouth and feather projectiles that can slice their target to ribbons. Akane has Hari, a Lion-like CHILD who comes equiped with powerful intakes that draw in their target and shred them like a wood-chipper. Hari is the first CHILD to fall in battle, and cause the death of Akane's beloved, Kazuya. Midori, who thinks she's the star of a Sentai show, has Gakuten-O, a CHILD who has a long tail with a protruding blade at the end which, interestingly enough, it often has positioned forward over its nose. It can also fly, and transform into a chariot-like vehicle for Midori to ride on. He's capable of punching through an aircraft carrier with no ill effects to himself or his rider. Sister Yukariko has St. Vulas, who resembles a giant knight from a chessboard with a unicorn horn. Vulas can also conjure deep illusions in a victim's mind before his flanks open, making him resemble a skeletal, monstrous birdlike thing, as the plates from his side come together to mash their ensnared prey to pulp. Yukino has Diana, a plantlike being who can also release spores that function as surveillance cameras, and they can also create a cloaking field over a limited range. Nao has Julia, a Dryder-type creature with a barbed stinger tail, and a humanoid torso and head that actually open up to reveal a gaping maw. Julia is also capable of spinning webs that can bind Nao's opponents (which she turns on Natsuki at least twice in ambush attacks). Shizuru, whose CHILD Kiyohime is the last to debut, is a enormous six-headed Hydra with serpentine heads and necks, and an octopus-like body, which crushes two other CHILDs in its jaws (Julia and Diana), and can spray an acid-breath attack against her enemies. Kiyohime also enables Shizuru to single-handedly wipe out the sinister shadowy organization, First District/Distrct One, that had been menacing her Natsuki. Kiyohime's destruction by Duran causes the deaths of both Shizuru and Natsuki, though this was a part of a Heroic Sacrifice on Natsuki's part, and they get better.

The Syndies loose the homicidal maniac C4L-V1N and his robot tiger upon the rebels. Cal's tiger is every bit as gory and merciless as any enraged tiger, plus it's armored and Nigh-Invulnerable.

Mechanical Animals / int_f186f924	comment	Horizon Zero Dawn and its sequel, Horizon Forbidden West have mechanical animals as one of its main thematic elements. Most of the mechanimals Aloy encounters or fights are actually created by GAIA, an advanced AI controlling the Zero Dawn terraforming network, as the implements for planetary reclamation. GAIA had a fondness for animals, both extinct and extant shortly before the Faro Swarm destroyed the biosphere, leading to them all resembling a host of animals ranging from dinosaurs to birds to mammals, each with a purpose in revitalizing the world or maintaining the terraforming system. Of course with re-emerging humanity actively hunting said machines, they've become more adept at protecting themselves. Additionally new, less docile machines are being created to fight back that resemble tigers, T-Rexes, and birds of prey. It's eventually revealed that GAIA's machine design subfunction, HEPHAESTUS, made them more aggressive in response to human hunting activities after gaining self-awareness in the aftermath of GAIA's self-destruction.

However, while their larger counterparts have humanoid robot modes, some of Soundwave's cassette bots such as Ravage, Laserbeak and Buzzsaw are animals in robot mode. Turbofoxes are Cybertronian fauna. Unlike the other animal bots seen in the series, they lack advanced intelligence and a robot mode, being fauna that are sometimes hunted for sport.
