Some animals (or certain groups of animals) have a tendency to be depicted in media always doing a certain activity. Cheetahs are always running, humpback whales are always breaching and roosters are always crowing at dawn. Can be justified when it's to highlight the most prominent characteristic of the animal, or if the animal really does spend a considerable portion of its time engaging in its stock behavior. Oftentimes, however, it leaves the impression that the species spends all of its time engaging in its stock activity and overshadows its other behaviors. See Artistic License – Biology if the animal doesn't actually engage in its stock behavior in Real Life, or only does so rarely. Can be used as a Furry Reminder, especially for a Civilized Animal or a Funny Animal. Subtropes include Stock Dinosaur Archetypes, Rhino Rampage, Playful Otter, and Cock-a-Doodle Dawn. Killer Rabbit is often a subversion. Can overlap with Stock Animal Diet if feeding is an animal’s stock behavior. Note: As this trope is based on its ubiquity, the only works that should be listed are aversions, subversions, lampshaded examples, in-universe examples, and other variants. |

In Vow of Nudity, a barbarian prevents a Giant Subterranean Lizard from eating him by beating it in a pushup contest. Real life lizards will indeed do pushups to assert dominance, and the author states in the chapter notes that she's never understood why the behavior didn't catch on as a stock trope for lizard characters. | |

The plot of the 1943 Pluto cartoon Pluto and the Armadillo is driven by the titular armadillo's ability to turn herself into a ball. Pluto has a rubber ball, and it just so happens to look the same as the armadillo does when she's in ball form, and as a result Pluto is greatly confused. Near the end of the short, the armadillo turns into a ball and begins to bounce around Pluto, who promptly turns into a ball himself. After the two bounce around as balls for a while (and bump into each other several times, though whether or not they're intentionally bumping into each other is unclear), they unfurl and continue to dance, and then Mickey arrives and drags Pluto and the armadillo, who's in her ball form, onto the plane. Once the plane takes off, the "ball" in Mickey's hand turns back into an armadillo. | |

In-universe example: in Peanuts Snoopy was prone to doing these in his imitations. Vulture: lurking on a tree branch Lion: stalking & pouncing Kangaroo: hopping Boa Constrictor: squeezing |

The Mega Man X series gives the animal Mavericks attacks based off these stock behaviors, despite the Mavericks in question being robots. For example, Chill Penguin's slides around the floor, Armored Armadillo curls into a ball, Storm Owl swoops down to grab the player, etc. Apparently they were manufactured to have behaviors like these in. | |
