Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A character that looks strange in the context of their cartoon world. Usually a main character and most likely because this main character was designed before the artist could get into the swing of drawing the rest of the characters. Either that, or it's to set the character apart. Several crossovers fit this trope. It's especially noticeable when the characters are from different franchises, showcasing distinctive character designs from their respective source material. A subtrope of this is Gonk, where the character deviates from the style specifically for the purpose of looking ugly. It is also often an Invoked Trope in the case of an Eldritch Abomination to emphasize how alien it is. Compare Art Shift (when the art itself becomes more cartoonish or viceversa) and Masculine Lines, Feminine Curves (women tend to be drawn more realistically than men in many illustrated works). Cartoonish Companions is a Sub-Trope. Flashy Protagonists, Bland Extras is for when the major characters look non-standard compared to the background characters.

You could try to list examples from Tower of God, mainly characters who are drawn more sketchily and less realistically than most... but the list would get too long, and eventually you'd realise there's no single "normal" style in this comic, and even many of the relatively normal-looking characters are drawn in subtly different styles from each other. | |

The Bone cousins in Bone are drawn in a simpler, more cartoony style than the other characters. Unlike the other characters they also obey cartoon physics, most notably in a scene where Phoney Bone tries to hide a partly-eaten pie by shoving it into Fone Bone's mouth and Fone Bone's head assumes the shape of the pie, complete with missing segment. They are also the first characters shown — Thorn, the first human character, doesn't appear until chapter 2. | |

The first X-Men/Star Trek crossover infamously used jarringly different arts styles for each set of characters. The crew of the Enterprise was portrayed rather realistically, with more muted colors, more shadowed faces, and so on. The X-Men got absurdly muscular or curvy proportions, proportionally larger eyes, brighter colors, and their clothing seemed to always have a metallic sheen on it. | |

King Candy from Wreck-It Ralph looks more Disney-esque and cartoony (a la Ralph and Fix-It Felix Jr.) compared to the Super-Deformed and Animesque characters of Sugar Rush. This is actually Foreshadowing that King Candy isn't who he says he is. Also happens all through the movie, whenever characters from different video games appear next to each other. The scenes between the cartoony Fix-It Felix Jr. and the more realistically designed Sgt. Calhoun are probably the most notable. | |

The fortune teller from Blue Moon Blossom stands out for being based on a Blob Monster rather than any real-world animals/animal groups (even stylized ones), being colored with a grainy violet-blue-green gradient instead of a single flat color, and having a star pattern apparently right on their body, assuming that isn't supposed to be clothing- the art style is so minimalist it's hard to tell. | |

The original SatAM cast looked the same when the comic-only cast were introduced, many of which were taller and had more humanistic builds (and were more prone to having hair). Art Evolution made characters look even more out of place. It wasn't until around issue 160 or so that the character designs finally became consistent. | |

Transformers: Generation 1 has the Autobot Mini-Cassettes Grand Slam and Raindance. There have been Transformers that look more robotic than others, and some whose robot modes are animals instead of humanoids, but how many Transformers do you know whose "true" forms are vehicles? And they're not non-sentient drones, either — they have personalities like any other Transformer! Plenty of other Transformers have this going on, due to the original line being basically cobbled together from multiple unrelated lines. Ironhide and Ratchet's toys were originally intended to be Mini-Mecha and therefore don't have heads, infamously receiving heavy redesigns to make them look anything like the other characters. But no amount of redesigning could make Sky Lynx, who has two separate bodies, neither of which have humanoid forms (a space shuttle and its platform that turn into a bird-thing and a lion), which can combine into a single robot that looks vaguely like a four-legged dragon, look normal. Even odder, he's not a combiner - he just has two separate bodies that share a mind. Explanations for why he's like this are generally along the lines of "Sky Lynx is weird." |

The dinosaurs from Calvin and Hobbes are all drawn rather realistically compared to the cartoony artstyle of the comic, at least in later years after the artist had done some research. Other animals similarly became more realistic when they were the focus of a particular strip, and Calvin and Susie were drawn as grown-ups in a more realistic and serious manner when a strip took place in her imagination. The aliens in Calvin's Spaceman Spiff fantasies are also drawn with much more detail than objects in the "real" world. | |

American-created villains in Power Rangers sometimes tend towards this due to not exactly matching with the design aesthetics of the Super Sentai-sourced villains. Lord Zedd, for instance, had no hint of the "single-eye" designs that were the trademark of the Dairanger monsters he used (the holdover Zyu2 monsters lacked any unifying characteristics). The most notable example of this was Sledge, whose rough, green-and-grey design contrasts with the much more colorful Kyoryuger-based villains. Scrozzle also has his design leans less towards the monsters of Go-Busters and moreso towards that of Go-Onger/RPM, more specifically his human-like face and hodge-podge armor. |

There's also the very unusual Solaris: The Game World designs. They don't have the straightforward and functional war-machine look of most Battlemech designs, being more heavily decorated, detailed, stylized, and sometimes a bit bulbous. The reason for this is that, in a strange twist of fate, some of these designs are actually Studio Nue redraws of Battlemechs—many of which are designs based on Studio Nue's own Super Dimension Fortress Macross series! This leads to the somewhat surreal situation where the Battletech Colossus is actually the Japanese art for the Battletech Marauder, because the Battletech Marauder artwork was originally a Zentradi Officer Pod in Japan. | |

In Mortadelo y Filemón, whenever real people (or Superman) show up, they're drawn with realistic faces, which contrasts with the usual characters looking cartoony. Then there's also the Crossover with El Capitan Trueno, where the Trueno characters get sometimes drawn in their original realistic style and sometimes look cartoony... and sometimes it's a mix... you can see why we don't like talking about that. | |

The title character of Pocahontas had her appearance based on her voice actress, Irene Bedard, and while the rest of her tribe are portrayed fairly closely to how they would have looked in real life, she sticks out like a sore thumb. Even among the Disney Princesses, she's drawn stylistically different. Smaller, realistically sized eyes and lankier limbs to say a few. | |

In the 1939 Max Fleischer film of Gulliver’s Travels, Gulliver is drawn in a more realistic manner (thanks to Rotoscoping) than the more cartoony Lilliputians. Except the two love-interest Lilliputians, Prince David and Princess Glory, who are also rotoscoped, wrecking the otherwise nicely stylistic contrast. | |

In the Disney Ducks Comic Universe comic, The Quest for Kalevala, Don Rosa decided to draw Väinämöinen and Louhi with realistic human noses instead of the usual dog-noses reserved for supporting cast. In contrast, Elias Lönnrot, who is a historical character and not a character from Kalevala, is drawn with a dog-nose. | |

Most of the title creatures in Gremlins have the same basic appearance but with different markings, skin coloring, and eye colors, but George, Lenny, and Daffy from Gremlins 2: The New Batch look much more cartoonish compared to the others with George being very fat and having big lips, Lenny being tall and skinny with big buck teeth and a dopey expression, and Daffy having googily eyes and three yellow hairs on his head. | |

Pacific Rim: Most of the Jaegers are fairly humanoid, except Crimson Typhoon — who has three arms and digitgrade legs — and Cherno Alpha — who has, in place of a normal head, something that looks like a nuclear cooling tower. In regards to the Kaiju, Onibaba sticks out like a sore thumb due to its crustacean body and four, centaurian legs as opposed to the bipedal, semi-reptilian Kaiju in the film. |

Warhammer 40,000: Due to the general shift of Daemon Engines having a more organic look (to emphasis their living nature) the Defiler now looks very out of place when compared to its brethren (due to its very boxy and mechanical design) as it was designed before the aesthetic was set. For a long while it was also the only example of a Daemon Engine, so this only became a problem when the newer codex introduced no less than 3 new Daemon Engines (and later they were joined by the Lord of Skulls Apocalypse unit). As it was one of the first titans ever produced, the Lucius Pattern Warhound suffers from a similar problem as the Defiler; namely it was boxy and much more mechanical looking than the more rounded, dog-headed Mars Pattern Warhound. Functionally the two are identical, but the aesthetic set by the Mars Pattern Warhound would later go on to influencing the design of the Reaver Titan and the (much smaller) Imperial Knight Titans. While a Lucius Pattern Reaver was produced, it was in epic scale (a 40k scale one was never made) and thus the Lucius pattern warhound remains the odd one out in the imperial lineup of titans. This is made all the more evident as the Lucius Warhound is much more easily scratch built than any of the other ones (due to it's blocky nature) so most people will more likely own one than the Mars pattern variants. |

Monokuma in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc (and Usami in the sequel) is drawn to look like a kawaii mascot without many details, whereas all the other characters have a more realistic pop-art manga-type look. There is also (traditionally) one character among each cast of characters who looks almost nothing like any of the other characters: Hifumi Yamada, Teruteru Hanamura, Daisaku Bandai, and Ryoma Hoshi, respectively. | |

LEGO: In general, this is going to be a problem with anyone using something from another set to fill in for a missing piece. It's less of a problem during playtime, when all of your sets will likely be mixed up. Tim from LEGO Time Cruisers and the Indians from the old Wild West sets are some of the few original LEGO Minifig characters to have noses. Certain characters in licensed LEGO Themes, such as the casts of SpongeBob SquarePants, The Simpsons, and the alien characters in Star Wars, have uniquely molded head pieces, which at times looks odd on the standard Minifigure bodies and alongside other, normally designed minifig characters. Certain characters, such as Scooby-Doo, Gollum, and the Angry Birds, have such nonhuman bodies that the standard minifigure template simply won't do for them, and as such have unique molds with prints that makes it almost look like they hopped straight out of whatever film or show they came from. |

In Star Trek the Starfleet ship designs hold to a fairly consistent pattern, specifically a saucer section, usually a secondary hull, with either two or four warp nacelles supported by pylons elevated away from the ship. A few ship designs ended up skewing away from this for one reason or another (several background ships across the franchise do break this pattern, if only to show greater fleet variety, but rarely placed in the foreground). The Grand Finale of TNG showed a future Enterprise with a third nacelle planted into the middle of the stardrive section. Being a quick modification to an existing model in a one-off episode, little was really said about it. In addition there was additional cosmetic additions made to the saucer section (a long underslung phaser weapon and what looks like sensor pylons near the bridge) that took away the traditional clean saucer design. The Defiant of DS9 was said to be a unique design In-Universe. There is only a hint of a saucer but has very small nacelles seemingly clamped to the main ship rather than protruding away. The whole concept was that of a cheaply produced warship with a minimal profile making it harder to hit in battle. The class had a lot of potential but violated a number of Starfleet safety standards to be operational. The Discovery of DSC has an overly large secondary hull and cut-out sections of the saucer. The nacelles are also bolted directly to the secondary hull rather than having separate pylons. |

General Protection Fault has most of its characters given simple designs. Some secondary characters, however, look vastly more realistic. It can be quite jarring to see two characters like Trudy (Blank White Eyes, No Mouth, generally cartoony design) and Dr. Not (a far more detailed and human looking woman) side by side, especially since both are meant to be attractive women. Compare and contrast. | |

PostMU: Life's a Scream! has the sorority known as Exceeda Zeta, and its members consist of Laura Sharp note who has a dragon-like appearance coupled with furry legs, Dot Pressler note an orange gelatinous creature, Colette Creouture note a semi-furry, horn-sporting monster, Katy McCrea note who looks like an anthropomorphic fish with a full head of hair, and Monnie Monstre note who has red hair, yellow skin, four arms, and a dinosaur-like tail. They each stand out quite significantly from the other sororities/fraternities at Monsters University in that their designs are far more detailed and vastly different from each other. Katy and Monnie stand out in particular as they seem to be the only monsters at MU who wear pants. Dot is also different from the other blob-like monsters, seeing as how she has a more realistically slim body complete with curves. |

The RWBY Loops has a few unique twists in comparison to the more general loops setting. For one, all loopers on Remnant activate in pairs, which is eventually explained as a result of their unique soul anatomy; for another, an early intervention by a hacker led to three nominally villainous individuals looping, alongside a pet dog and two teachers, which circumvented the usual way loopers were activated and had a number of consequences. | |

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse: As befitting the multiverse concept, three of the alternate Spider-People are animated very differently from the other characters: Spider-Man Noir has an entirely black-and-white color scheme that makes him look like he's in a dimly-lit street even in bright daylight. Also, while every character is rendered at least partially with Ben-Day dots, they're particularly visible on Noir. Peni Parker is much more Animesque than the rest of the cast, right down to the large eyes and exaggerated expressions. She's even rendered in a pseudo-"2D" style, despite being in a CGI film. Spider-Ham's uniqueness isn't just because he's a pignote Well, a spider-turned-pig; he's rendered to look like he almost walked straight out of a Looney Tunes cartoon, right down to the "2D" look and bouncy animation. Notably, he's also treated as an animated character in-universe. |

The Lion King (1994): During the song "I Just Can't Wait to be King" features weirdly colored animals, in contrast to the more-or-less realistic colors of the film. Though this may be considered an Art Shift typical of a Disney Acid Sequence. The animals in the "Circle of Life" opening (and occasionally seen in the background) are all drawn realistically, despite the main and supporting cast being far more cartoony. This is best shown by comparing the meerkats from the beginning of the movie◊ to the far more cartoonish Timon◊. Timon is supposed to be Gonk, so it's somewhat justified, though his family in the third film are also cartoony like him. |

In Fawcett and DC Comics' Captain Marvel/Shazam series, characters designed by C.C. Beck (and Pete Constanza, working in Beck's style) generally tended to be much more cartoonish and simplified in appearance then those from Mac Raboy, Jack Binder, and other artists. Until the final issues of the 70's Shazam title, however, they were almost always drawn "on-model", particularly Billy with his classic Black Bead Eyes. The trend is most noticeable in the finely detailed work of Kurt Schaffenberger,◊ where Billy often looks bizarre and inhuman next to the realistic Freddy and Mary. Some non-DCU spin-off media (such as Batman: The Brave and the Bold) still use the Beck designs, even if the other characters are less cartoonish looking. | |

Disney Princess: Rapunzel, unlike all the other Disney Princesses before her, is actually animated using CGI instead of cel animation, so she often looks very strange when they are all in a group. It also explained why she had to be redesigned when she is greenlighted into the franchise so that she can blend in with the other princesses. The first few waves of Rapunzel merch that used 2D images had a tendency to be...creepy◊, due to basically being paint-overs of the 3D models. It was especially obvious in the group pictures, where the rest of the Princesses big, anime-style eyes look tiny when compared to Rapunzel's soulless dinner plates. Disney seemed to have realized this though, as her official redesign◊ fits in perfectly now. Unusually, Tangled was originally meant to look traditionally animated (such as with Paperman) so plenty of very early promotional images and especially concept art have her looking Disney Princess typical instead of the uncannier version early merchandise went with. Cinderella and Snow White look somewhat less stylized than the later princesses. This is because Snow White was rotoscoped in her film and Cinderella was drawn with a more realistic face compared to other princesses. Aurora from Sleeping Beauty is currently the only Princess with an unnatural eye color. She has purple eyes. |

All the bird characters in Hatoful Boyfriend are represented by stock photographs of real birds. In Holiday Star, the King is an extremely stylized watercolor painting of a bird that matches the fantasy world he lives in. It's an early clue that whatever he used to be, he isn't any more. | |

Peanuts: By the mid 1950s, the characters have became more detailed while Charlie Brown still has the simple design he had from the start. Later, the other characters got simpler designs and this was no longer the case. Lucy was drawn with much more realistic eyes, however she got the Black Bead Eyes like everyone else later but with marks. |

Sonic the Hedgehog: Archie Comics' Sonic the Hedgehog: The original SatAM cast looked the same when the comic-only cast were introduced, many of which were taller and had more humanistic builds (and were more prone to having hair). Art Evolution made characters look even more out of place. It wasn't until around issue 160 or so that the character designs finally became consistent. Nack, Bean, and Bark, whose designs are drawn in the "classic" style (i.e.: short and chubby) of the old games, look really out of place next to the modern designs of rest of the cast. This is because they never received any "modern" redesigns in the games due to their absence in newer games, and Archie didn't bother updating their look beyond changing their eye colors. The SegaSonic design characters like Sonic, Tails, Amy, and Knuckles clash with the Canon Foreigner characters. Most of the SatAM and Archie-original characters don't follow the design scheme of the Sega characters. Thus we get characters with Furry Female Manesnote A few Sega characters, like Vanilla and Blaze, have hair, but it's very sparingly used and typically matches their fur colour, more humanoid designs, fully dressed male characters, and minimally dressed female characters. The Continuity Reboot redesigned several characters, most notably Sally and Antoine, to look more Sega-esque. The SegaSonic characters in Sonic the Comic look almost nothing like everyone else. Fleetway original characters are usually drawn with more traditional humanoid proportions compared to the Sega ones. |

Spider-Ham's uniqueness isn't just because he's a pignote Well, a spider-turned-pig; he's rendered to look like he almost walked straight out of a Looney Tunes cartoon, right down to the "2D" look and bouncy animation. Notably, he's also treated as an animated character in-universe. | |

Brawl in the Family normally uses a simple cartoon style, but it's fond of characters suddenly becoming hyperdetailed for a gag, such as Dedede's father being a photorealistic penguin. The Grand Finale Story Arc Meet Me at Final Destination features characters suddenly and noticeably (including in universe) changing appearance briefly. | |

This is how you tell if a character in an Asterix comic is an Comic-Book Fantasy Casting version of a real person — fictional characters are quite clean and grotesque-looking, but caricatures are a lot more realistic and detailed. Compare Boneywasawarriorwayayix (who was modelled after the editor of the magazine Asterix was originally printed in, Pilote), Dubbleosix (a Sean Connery parody) and Spartakis (based on Kirk Douglas) to non-caricature characters like Fulliautomatix or Caligula Minus and the difference is obvious. This is occasionally really useful, since a lot of the "cameos" are French celebrities that no-one outside of France would identify. The exceptions are Tragicomix and (somewhat less so) Panacea, who aren't particularly based on any one person but are drawn much more photorealistically than the other characters, especially in closeup. Panacea is stylized enough to not look out of place with either Tragicomix or Obelix, but when we see Tragicomix and Asterix together it looks almost like a Crossover (or possibly Uncanny Valley-type creepy). Tragicomix is also the only adult male Gaulish or even Celtic character to lack a moustache, besides members of the tribe in The Big Fight who were forced to shave by their chief's Foreign Culture Fetish for Rome. When Tragicomix reappeared in The Actress, he got a more stylized design based on how he looks in the Animated Adaptation Asterix Versus Caesar, making him look a lot less odd. |

Soaky, a kids' bubble bath marketed in the late 50s and early 60s, was packaged in containers designed as noted cartoon stars. The commercials pairing some of these stars were sometimes bizarre. Muskie (from The Deputy Dawg Show) and Dick Tracy is seen on one spot, while Tennessee Tuxedo and Superman appear in another. The realistic and/or semi-realistic designs of Tracy and Superman contrast quite glaringly against the cartoony Muskie and Tennessee. | |

BattleTech: It had a hefty does of this due to Early Installment Weirdness. About two dozen of the game's earliest BattleMech designs were licensed from Japanese studios (such as Robotech), whose thin and generally more graceful lines stood in stark contrast with the boxy, Walking Tank-style American original designs. The difference became even more magnified as the game adopted the chunky American aesthetic entirely. However, a legal fustercluck caused the designs to be dropped for almost a decade before being redesigned; they still look gangly, but not to the hilarious degree of the original designs. There's also the very unusual Solaris: The Game World designs. They don't have the straightforward and functional war-machine look of most Battlemech designs, being more heavily decorated, detailed, stylized, and sometimes a bit bulbous. The reason for this is that, in a strange twist of fate, some of these designs are actually Studio Nue redraws of Battlemechs—many of which are designs based on Studio Nue's own Super Dimension Fortress Macross series! This leads to the somewhat surreal situation where the Battletech Colossus is actually the Japanese art for the Battletech Marauder, because the Battletech Marauder artwork was originally a Zentradi Officer Pod in Japan. |

The Grand Finale of TNG showed a future Enterprise with a third nacelle planted into the middle of the stardrive section. Being a quick modification to an existing model in a one-off episode, little was really said about it. In addition there was additional cosmetic additions made to the saucer section (a long underslung phaser weapon and what looks like sensor pylons near the bridge) that took away the traditional clean saucer design. | |

Kidagakash from Atlantis: The Lost Empire for some reason despite being an Atlantean actually looks more like a white woman with tanned skin and white hair, while the other Atlanteans (including her father, King Kashekhim Nedakh) have more ethnic designs. She is the only character in the film to have blue eyes, something no one else in the film has. Her fingers have rounded tips, while the males have square-tipped fingers, the other females also have similarly-drawn fingers (Audrey has squared fingers because of her tomboyish nature, while Helga has claw-like fingers to fit her role as The Dragon). Speaking of Helga, her animation is considerably much more fluid than the rest of the cast. This may be due to her supervising animator being from France. |

The Continuity Reboot redesigned several characters, most notably Sally and Antoine, to look more Sega-esque. |

The LEGO Movie: Whilst most of the other main characters are your standard LEGO minifigs or human, Princess Uni-Kitty is a cat/unicorn made entire out of bricks, with an Animesque face being printed on a brick. Emmet and Benny have Black Bead Eyes reminiscent of the early generations of minifigs, while the other major characters have reflections in their eyes. Metal Beard is built much more like a BIONICLE or Hero Factory figure than something from a traditional set. Vitruvius is a minor offender here: Almost all of the non-licensed characters have yellow skin, with a few non-humans (e.g., the vampire) having non-human skin tones. Vitruvius owns the Magical Negro trope by having brown skin, which is otherwise very rare on non-licensed minifigs. His staff wasn't an actual LEGO piece, but rather a partially-eaten lollipop. His appearance in actual LEGO sets naturally averts that, giving him a staff made from a LEGO bar and jewel piece. |

Homestar Runner: Crack Stuntman is the only character to exist in the "real world" of the main characters that actually looks like a normal human being. He is also drawn in the style of the cartoon he voice acts for rather than the style of the main characters. In an April Fools' Day cartoon, all the characters are replaced by "revamped for the '90s" versions of themselves with black outlines and exaggerated jagged edges, except Homsar who doesn't change at all. The final scene shows all the characters together, with Homsar obviously clashing with the rest. In Teen Girl Squad Issue #11, So-And-So's manager at the Shirt Folding Store has her hair, eyes, mouth, and feet taken from clipped-out magazine pictures of a real-life person (Mary-Kate Olsen, to be precise). |

Rapunzel, unlike all the other Disney Princesses before her, is actually animated using CGI instead of cel animation, so she often looks very strange when they are all in a group. It also explained why she had to be redesigned when she is greenlighted into the franchise so that she can blend in with the other princesses. The first few waves of Rapunzel merch that used 2D images had a tendency to be...creepy◊, due to basically being paint-overs of the 3D models. It was especially obvious in the group pictures, where the rest of the Princesses big, anime-style eyes look tiny when compared to Rapunzel's soulless dinner plates. Disney seemed to have realized this though, as her official redesign◊ fits in perfectly now. Unusually, Tangled was originally meant to look traditionally animated (such as with Paperman) so plenty of very early promotional images and especially concept art have her looking Disney Princess typical instead of the uncannier version early merchandise went with. | |

In the Cars series films, all of the characters' eyes are drawn on their windshields. In Cars 2, a background salescar has, for some reason, her eyes on her headlights instead, thus looking like she wandered out of the set of A Car's Life: Sparky's Big Adventure. They probably made her look like that because she's selling headlights. The Hero Lightning McQueen has a rather unique design compared to most other stock cars — specifically his hood area is squished in a little and the sides are raised up slightly, his spoiler is bigger with rounded edges and curves in at the center, and his back bumper is completely yellow instead of having a yellow double stripe (a tradition in NASCAR given to racers in their rookie seasons). This sets him apart from the others. |

In Mario Brothers, all character sprites are from the original Super Mario Bros with the exception of the Toads, whose sprites are from Super Mario Bros. 2 and have a slightly different artstyle (most notably, being outlined in blue while no other sprites have outlines). This is likely due to Toad's only sprite in the original game not exactly lending itself well to all the action required by the Toads in this series. | |

A portion of the robots introduced in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen seemed to have been experiments in out-there character design (specifically Demolishor/Scavenger, the Arcee triplets and Rampage, none of whom had real legs, though the Rampage toy could also turn into a centaur), especially since the later films went back to more traditional-looking and often exceedingly humanlike robot bodies. | |

In Stand Still, Stay Silent, the manifestation of a dead Christian priest encountered in a world where Christianity has fallen out of practice is drawn more realistically than any other character. The difference can be seen on this page. | |

The Whites, in comparison to the Proles, in Lucky Day Forever. This trope is used to show that the Whites are completely inhuman. | |

In The Legend of Zelda: The Light of Courage, Ganon actually has a very decent, almost professional-level model, which makes the blatant Stylistic Suck of every other character stand out even more than they already do. | |

How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World: The Light Fury is noticeably more typically feminine than all the other female dragons shown so far. Part of it is due to being a species closely related to Night Furies. | |

Mr. Game & Watch's amiibo is two-dimensional (accurately reflecting the character), and more unusually has several poses that can be swapped out. | |
