Uplifted Animal	comment	A more Science Fiction-oriented version of the Talking Animal, where the creature's ability to think and communicate with people on an equal level isn't typical of their species, but instead the result of some Applied Phlebotinum at work. Perhaps the animal's intelligence has been artificially increased (or inversely, people can communicate with them in their Animal Talk) and/or their physical voice structure altered so they can pronounce human words, or they have been fitted with a Translator Collar; but these animals have come to be more or less equals to human in terms of ability, but their acceptance and status in human society can be questionable. This rarely becomes an actual plot point; it's usually just an unspoken, world-building background detail so that the author can place a Talking Animal in a setting that wouldn't ordinarily allow for them. See also Transhuman, Polly Wants a Microphone, Anthropomorphic Transformation and Artificial Animal People. Contrast Formerly Sapient Species.

Uplifted Animal / int_11b7db91	comment	Adventure Time: This evidently happened on a planetary scale some time in the thousand years between the fall of human civilization and the time the show is set. Sapient non-human animals are now basically the norm and are commonplace on Ooo; in particular, all dogs are now like people, and non-anthropomorphic dogs are only seen in locations outside of Ooo (such as Marceline's zombie poodle, which was born before Ooo existed, or the alternate Jake in the Farmworld timeline where Ooo never came to be). This is lampshaded by a character who froze herself from non-magical human times and finds herself in Ooo now. The Vampire King is a perfectly ordinary, non-sapient lion... who was made anthropomorphic and highly intelligent when he became a vampire. When the vampirism is cured, he is once again a non-sapient cat — and he was completely fine with it beforehand. The Cretaceous ice elemental Evergreen's apprentice was a talking green dinosaur named Gunther, and it's offhandedly mentioned by Evergreen that he stole an egg from a dinosaur nest and mutated the embryo's brain to create Gunther.

Doraemon: Nobita and the Spiral City has Uplifted Toy Animals, in a planet populated by Living Toys. Most of the animal toys behaves like actual animals, but thanks to an entity called The Sower who randomly zaps intelligence on some of them, a few toy animals — including the toy pig siblings Pibbu and Popi, toy sheep Thomas Meedison and toy bull Ain Motain — are sentient, and in fact smarter than humans.

Uplifted Animal / int_16fc4335	comment	Heralds of Valdemar: There are multiple prominent nonhuman sentient races aside from the divinely created Companions. Kyree and dyheli are essentially wolves and antelope, both very psychic but easily mistaken for normal if broad-foreheaded animals visually. Hertasi are more anthropomorphic Lizard Folk while tervardi are fragile-boned bird-humans, and then there are the gryphons. Gradually through the series it's revealed that millennia ago, when magical science was at its peak, mages worked in teams to uplift animals. Hertasi were instilled with gratitude to their creators that makes them an ideal Servant Race. The most extravagant alterations were made to the tervardi, which were literally large songbirds before being altered. The gryphons were simply created whole. There are also partially uplifted animals, the Tayledras' bondbirds and the Shin'a'in battlesteeds. The former are birds of prey and corvids given greater size, intelligence, and psychic powers, the better to be Bond Creatures. Their smarts vary but some can speak in grammatical sentences and grasp the emotional states of strangers. The latter are huge, ugly horses with behavior so altered that they're in many ways more like dogs, and which are much tougher and more trainable than ordinary horses.

Uplifted Animal / int_1aacbbc9	comment	Dragon Age features the Mabari. A very large, muscular dog breed, they were bred by the Tevinter Imperium using magic and meant as war dogs. They have high enough intelligence to strategize and to understand complex human speech (but are ultimately still dogs in personality). When they were used to invade the Alamarri tribes (the ancestors of modern Ferelden), the dogs turned against their Tevinter masters and sided with the Alamarri. The Mabari has been a symbol of Ferelden ever since. In the second game, Varric has managed to teach the Hawkes' mabari how to play a card game, and the pooch is apparently quite good at it (except when he wags his tail when he has a good hand.)

They gain the ability to take somewhat human forms and easily communicate with humans. This lasts for the duration of the Contract, but when it runs out, the familiar ceases to exist. For a familiar with an open-ended contract like Arf, this makes her a lifelong companion for Fate (and a longer lifespan for her), but giving a familiar a short contract like performing a single task is a good way to Kick the Dog.

Near the end, he actually taps into it and temporarily gains a humanoid form. Due to Evolutionary Levels, this means he also becomes spontaneously Kemonomimi, also revealing that he was the strange man beside Simon over in the prologue of the first episode, acting as the second in command. While the rest of the Generals are Beastmen that look pretty human, Guame looks the most like an animal, in this case, an armadillo. One of the musical OVAs reveals that this is because rather than an artificially created lifeform, Guame used to be a regular animal. He was with Lordgenome back when the latter was a child, being the Boota to Lordgenome's Simon.

Uplifted Animal / int_3f3abe9	comment	The subplot of the Rick and Morty episode "Lawnmower Dog" has Morty's father Jerry frustrated by Morty's dog, Snuffles, ignoring commands, peeing inside, and constantly begging to go out and come back inside over and over for no reason. Jerry asks Rick for a device to make the dog smarter which Rick, reluctantly, agrees to, giving Snuffles a helmet that boosts his intelligence. At first, it works perfectly, the dog suddenly understands all their commands, even ones it hasn't been trained with at all. However, we learn that Rick originally set the helmet to operate well below its full potential, and after Snuffles realizes and figures out how to crank it up to 100% (putting in a second double-a battery), he becomes intelligent enough to create a device that allows him to speak English, then a Mini-Mecha, which he uses to replicate his helmet and create an army of superintelligent canines. It doesn't help that he's still pretty sore at Morty's family over being recently neutered.

"Cured humans" still have black blood, are very difficult to kill, are not as intelligent as their natural human ancestors, and still have a chance of reverting back to animals under the right circumstances. The galactic community tends to think of them as pitiable creatures at best and barely controlled flesh-eating monsters at worst, and within a couple months of uplift the Krakau "curing" them put them to work as shock troops and menial workers in their military.

Uplifted Animal / int_43dfe888	comment	In the Rats, Bats and Vats duology, the titular animals are genetically engineered slave-soldiers granted human-like intelligence by means of cybernetic brain implants provided by the alien Korozhets. Both were created to help humanity defend itself against the insectoid Magha, and are considered less than optimal, due to their inherently Blue-and-Orange Morality — this further causes them to be treated as property. Their "soft-cyber" implants also compel them to obey orders given by the Korozhets, who are secretly masterminding the whole war with the intent of conquering the planet and taking humanity as slaves. They also mean that both species can engage in Brain Uploading, allowing for a kind of Resurrective Immortality by having their soft-cybers retrieved and installed in new bodies.

Uplifted Animal / int_468bebb0	comment	Discworld: In The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents, some rats gain intelligence by eating magic-laden garbage left by Unseen University, the Discworld's school of magic. Maurice the cat gains intelligence by eating one of the rats. In earlier books, Gaspode the Wonder Dog is uplifted twice, by two different mechanisms (the latter being the result of magical detritus). It appears that all dogs are sentient in some way, but Gaspode has human-level intelligence and can actually speak Morporkian. There's also Quoth the Raven, who appears to be substantially brighter that most birds, and can also speak to humans. Of course, he's still not that smart by human standards, and his attention span is not great either, especially when eyeballs are involved. The Camels are a borderline case — they're highly intelligent mathematicians, but it isn't clear whether they naturally evolved that way or were magically granted sapience. Either way, they're smart enough to know not to let humans know how smart they are. Speaking of sapience, there's the Luggage, a malevolent animated item of travel baggage made from sapient pearwood. Given that it is ambulatory and capable of reproduction, it might be considered a sort of uplifted tree (though as happens so often in the Discworld, the trees themselves seem to be intelligent, after a fashion...). That said, Interesting Times suggests that whatever process allows the Luggage to dynamically react to its environment is more a facsimile of thought than actual thought.

In season two, it is revealed that a group of human scientists have been working to figure out what caused this so they can reverse the process. Lio and Song succeed in uplifting an animal, but hide that information because they realize it would be wrong to reverse the process.

Uplifted Animal / int_62570927	comment	Marvel Universe: The New Men, most of whom became the Knights of Wundagore, were once ordinary animals before the High Evolutionary subjected them to his experiments; some are more or less human than others; Sir Porga is basically a rotund human with pointed ears, Sir Ram has a humanlike face and has feet rather than hooves, Lady Ursula looks like a human-sized (and -shaped) bear, Lady Vermin is just an ordinary-looking rat who can't even speak without an electronic translator device, and Bova who is an anthropomorphic cow woman. The Beasts of Berlin from Ant-Man are six gorillas uplifted by a fluke by an experimental ray reared in Communist Berlin. The ray itself has a reverse effect on humans, making them mindless beasts, but it's temporary in both cases. Brute Force (Marvel Comics) was a short-lived 4-issue series about a scientist who uses cyborg enhancements to makes five animals intelligent and speak, and fight evil — mostly people trying to destroy rainforests and polluting the ocean, and a team of evil cyborg animals. In 2014, they got a one-shot revival in a crossover with Deadpool, via Deadpool Bi-Annual. Wolverine & Captain America: Weapon Plus not only brought Wreckless (A.K.A. Bear) Back for the Dead (with the rest of the team being kept in stasis), but also revealed Brute Force to be part of the Weapon II project (of which the only other known test subject was a Wolverine-esque squirrel that appeared in The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl). The Eternals reveals that humanity itself is one of many species which were uplifted by the Celestials, who not only modified fallow hominids into basic sentience, but also created two other groups which came to be known as the Eternals (a species of 'perfected' hominids with near-immortality, Psychic Powers, and Heroic Builds) and the Deviants (a constantly mutating 'species' which on Earth ended up Always Chaotic Evil). It is later learned that the Skrulls were similarly uplifted, but that early on one Skrull Deviant developed their signature shapeshifting trait, and unlike with others if their kind, the trait bred true; the result was that this specific sub-group exterminated all of the other Skrull sub-types. While this was mostly ignored by other Marvel writers for the next few decades even in stories featuring various Eternals, it would become a key part of The 'Verse's mythos later, especially in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Sometimes, Fantastic Four enemy the Red Ghost has his Super-Apes uplifted into speaking intelligence. They always try to take over from him in short order and attempt to either kill or enslave all humans, starting with him. Guardians of the Galaxy features Cosmo, a golden retriever who's mysteriously uplifted when he was blasted into orbit during early Russian Cosmonautical testing. When he's eventually found in a colony in deep space, not only has he gained the ability to talk via telepathy, he does it in thick, Soviet-era broken English. They also have Rocket Raccoon, another example of this trope. They don't like each other. When asked why, Rocket mentions that he can't stand freakyâ€“deaky talking animals. They give him the willies. Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew) was indisputably intended to be an uplifted spider, but this got retconned. Apparently, Stan Lee thought this idea was too wacky. For the Marvel Universe. Ape X from the Squadron Supreme universe is an ape uplifted to sentience by experimentation who became a criminal super genius.

Uplifted Animal / int_63e72a51	comment	2000 AD: In Judge Dredd, genetic experiments resulted in a group of monkeys as intelligent as humans that speak English, and who were eventually given human rights and their own ghetto in Mega-City One. Some of them went on to form a criminal gang. Uplifted apes also appear in the Dreddverse series Insurrection. Originally a servile class in an ex-terrestrial mining colony, they join the mutants and robots (also slaves) alongside the human Judges in rebellion against Mega-City One. Tharg's Future Shocks: A bunch of scientists try to increase the intellect of apes so that they can be used as manual labor. It looks like it didn't work, until one of the apes slips up and reveals that they have been Obfuscating Stupidity. Kingdom is all about a group of genetically engineered dog-people who keep fighting a race of giant insects after their human masters disappear. In Nikolai Dante, at some point in the past, a group of endangered species were given human intelligence in the hope of preserving them. They rose up and overthrew humans, with the result that Africa is now ruled by the houses of Numa (lion), Tantor (elephant), and Kong (gorilla).

Uplifted Animal / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons: 3rd Edition has the awaken spell, which grants a normal animal human Intelligence and a Charisma bonus, and one or more languages. It also changes their type from "Animal" to "Magical Beast", so it no longer counts as an animal for most purposes. For example, a Friend to All Living Things druid can no longer order it around, he needs to use Diplomacy just like he would for a human. Although they are by default friendly toward the druid that awakened them. In the Ravenloft setting, the darklord Urik von Kharkov began life as a black leopard, but was transformed into a human by an evil wizard for use as a shapechanging assassin. That was just the start of his troubles. On the D&D Wiki, someone posted an Uplift NPC class. It's been called one of the worst classes ever made for D&D. This is the backstory for the Thri-Keen in the Nentir Vale setting, uplifted from lowly sand beetles by a very powerful Primal Spirit. The book "Savage Species" also has this in the form of a template a DM or player can apply to a "base animal". The template is even literally called "Uplifted Animal".

If she does, it gets smarter faster—and since she lives in the Palace for a while, every animal there is spookily intelligent (and very helpful to Page Keladry.) She can do it deliberately but on the whole dislikes this happening because it just makes life more difficult for them.

When it fell into the planet Earth it landed straight on the humblest of creatures, a common earthworm that like all earthworms spent its life crawling deep in the soil and avoiding birds of prey. As it didn't find much of a brain to begin with, some of its energy waves were passed on to the worm, leading to its body growing larger and it developing human-sized eyes, a mouth and a (basic) brain. Thus Jim the champion of annelids was born.

Uplifted Animal / int_84986bf9	comment	Several characters in RuneScape are animals or fantastic creatures of animal-equivalent intelligence that have been uplifted to sapience by divine power. Some even got to skip human-equivalency and went straight to godhood themselves. The Guardians of Guthix include the green tree python Juna, the gnomish war tortoise Valluta, the earwig Fiara, the automaton Cres, and the demonic Ocellus. All of these were granted sapience and powers by Guthix to maintain the banishment of gods from the world in his absence (he entered hibernation to abide by his own banishment); all but Ocellus were given precise roles in this mandate. Zaros raised the vampyres from a pack-hunting animal to the civilized menace of Morytania. He also personally raised Nex from a barely sentient Nihil (a race of Zaros's own creation, which he considered failures). If you ask him about Ocellus, Zaros is surprised to learn his old pet demon gained sapience and became another god's enforcer. Of the desert pantheon, Tumeken the sun god raised three animals directly to godhood and adopted them (along with Het, who was originally human) as siblings to his own children. Scabaras was originally a scarab, Crondis a river crocodile, and Apmeken a desert monkey. The non-sapient gorilla Marimbo became a goddess after a god of merriment challenged her to a drinking contest, and drank himself to death trying to keep up with her. It's implied that they were drinking from the Elder Horn.

Uplifted Animal / int_86c3beca	comment	Girl Genius: Krosp the talking cat was given human intelligence by a Mad Scientist who intended him to become the "Emperor of All Cats" and use his cat army as spies and saboteurs. This didn't work, because, despite understanding and accepting his authority just fine, normal cats can't understand complex concepts and have very short attention spans. This ultimately deemed Krosp a failure and he was slated to be terminated, but Krosp was smart enough to deduce his impending fate and escaped, and eventually became a follower and advisor to Agatha, the titular heroine. The Sparkhounds, in service to Martellus Von Blitzengaard, count as well. Though they're nowhere near as mentally acute as Krosp was made to be, they're still smarter (and larger and stronger) than a regular dog. He also uplifts an as-yet-unnamed female cat, who annoys Krosp (on purpose), and serves Martellus as Agatha's weasel serves her. The Bear soldiers are another group of intelligent animals, close to human, who were made by Martellus's mentor, Krosp's creator, who made them loyal to him as well.

He then ate the Hito Hito no Mii (Human Human Fruit) and gained sapience along with the ability to take on a half-human/half-reindeer form and a human form. This also caused him to be abandoned by his herd and hated by humans, resulting in him growing bitter towards all humans save two until he met Luffy. Onimaru is a fox introduced in the Wano Country Arc, who is capable of human speech and is able to transform from a fox into a giant human. It was revealed in one of the One Piece Vivre Card Databooks, that Onimaru is able to do this because he ate a Devil Fruit similar to Chopper. In this case, unlike Chopper who ate a regular Zoan fruit, he ate a Mythical Zoan, the Hito Hito no Mii Model: Onyudo. (An Onyudo is a Japanese Yōkai that takes the form of a giant Monk) This also applies to the animal Homies of the Big Mom pirates, who have been infused with a human soul by the power of Big Mom's Devil Fruit, the Soru Soru no Mii (Soul Soul Fruit).

In The Flash, Gorilla Grodd and Solavar were uplifted by aliens, making them the first two talking gorillas. They would eventually found an entire city of other talking gorillas. Then Grodd turned evil. The Green Lantern Adam is from a species that "gives birth" to itself when they die. He was nonsapient due to being unable to learn (as all knowledge he did pick up would be lost when he died), but when the Green Lantern Corps found him they learned Green Lantern rings can store a person's memories. After a few generations, Adam became sapient due to his ring teaching him what his previous generations had learned. Rex the Wonder Dog was presumably a normal puppy before the experiments which led to his near human intelligence. Though he originally couldn't talk since a dog's mouth isn't designed for such, he knew English and Japanese, can read, and could find other ways to communicate. After a drink from the Fountain of Youth the wonder dog developed the ability to talk as well, though he doesn't use it terribly often. Mr. Tawny in Shazam! started this way. He was an ordinary tiger raised from a cub as a child's pet and accused in adulthood as a man-killer.

If humans are in conflict with another over something, envy each other, or denigrate their own shortcomings, he will instinctively leech onto that negativity to feed himself and eventually become sapient. However, if he gives up all that consumed power for an act like revival from the dead, he will revert back to non-sapience. It's later implied that this isn't as big of a sacrifice as it seems since he just starts feeding himself once he's around humans again and is becoming sapient once more.

Uplifted Animal / int_ac7fd385	comment	This is the backstory of Hatoful Boyfriend. In the fight against a particularly deadly breed of the Avian Flu virus, humans created a virus to annihilate birds, who were unwittingly spreading it. However, while the virus killed plenty of birds it increased the intelligence of the survivors, doves and pigeons among the first affected. By the time the story begins, humanity has been vastly reduced and the society is now dominated by the entire columbidae genus, with other species having joined the uplifting — the Prime Minister of Japan is a shoebill stork and the first puffin to hold office has recently been elected. The phenomenon is still ongoing: there are still wild birds, but even those are changing too. Feather Fingers is in effect, the birds seem somewhat larger, and they live longer, though pigeons still have decidedly shorter lifespans than humans.

There are rumors of Talking Animals, the rare remnants of a Flawed Prototype of the ritual. He later discovered he could also transform humans into Wilderkind as well, granting this as a boon to the settlers of the Gruncrist so they would have the strength they needed to repel an army of orcs and goblins. Tolgamyr is known to continue to uplift animals into Wilderkind even in the present day, although both "origins" of Wilderkind are true-breeding.

There are also some morph designers working on synthetic bodies for various uplifts, such as the takko (a synthmorph shaped like an octopus), and whales who really want to swim in something can sleeve into a surya, which is designed to operate on the surface of the Sun. Uplifted elephants are mentioned, but they went extinct during the Fall. There are also "smart" animals such as dogs, cats, rats, and monkeys who tend to have vocabularies of less than a hundred words. The TITANs had their own projects along these lines, which gave us the Ny'knikiin, captured and mutilated "pod" morphs (essentially a synthmorph/biomorph mix) inhabited by the minds of uplifted mantis shrimp. Unlike uplifted animals that are part of transhumanity, Ny'knikiin are Always Chaotic Evil and are deeply sadistic (although strangely not infected with The Virus).

Uplifted Animal / int_d5505073	comment	Uplift is the Trope Namer. Major characters include uplifted dolphins and chimps. Technically, every sentient species has records of being originally uplifted from animals (or plants, or fungi, etc.), except for humanity and the original prehistoric Progenitors. And the tradition of Uplift is so ingrained in 2 billion years of Galactic society that many clans refuse to believe that Humans, ul-Dolphin-ul-Chimpanzee, could be anything but "wolflings" abandoned by their patrons mid-Uplift. The mere suggestion that we might have evolved sapience on our own is usually considered a preposterous, laughable superstition, as impossible as claiming a deity sculpted us out of clay. At worst, the claim is blasphemy of the highest order. Humans, dolphins, and chimpanzees avoid being "adopted" (aka enslaved and forcibly genetically altered) by the more-hostile Galactics only because humans had uplifted the dolphins and chimpanzees before first contact. Said Galactics then object to humans having started to also uplift dogs and gorillas.

Uplifted Animal / int_e3832ae3	comment	Most of the space-faring species encountered in Starcom: Nexus are suspiciously similar to Earth animals. Later on, the player can find several separate pieces of information strongly hinting that the Morningstar was carrying several animal species from Earth when it went back 12 billion years to the early Milky-Way. Those animals were already subjects of rudimentary intelligence-enhancing tests carried out on the Morningstar; they apparently got loose in one way or another, and over a very long period of time afterwards managed to evolve into fully sentient races and spread throughout the galaxy.

Uplifted Animal / int_e5ff9852	comment	Children of Time (2015): The prologue is about Doctor Kern starting an experiment intended to uplift monkeys on a terraformed world to full sapience within fifty generations. Unfortunately, a hardline faction against the "obsolescence of humanity" sabotages the project (at the same time as they start a war that ends up nearly annihilating the human race), resulting in all the monkeys being killed. However, the nanovirus intended to uplift the primates lands on the planet and finds hosts. While it was designed to avoid mammals and vertebrates to prevent the monkeys from having competition, it ends up finding fertile ground in invertebrate species, resulting in a world of Big Creepy-Crawlies. However, since the virus was never designed to work with them, its results are mixed; some insects end up merely giant, but not really that much more intelligent, others become intelligent enough to use as work animals, and the ants remain individually completely mindless but create a biological calculation engine that becomes the world's first superpower, complete with metallurgy and siege weapons, despite not actually being conscious. The apex predators, at least on land, end up being a highly evolved form of jumping spider that slowly develop culture and technology comparable to human, if still completely alien.

Uplifted Animal / int_e66a25a9	comment	Rifts: Dolphins and Orcas are considered somewhere along the lines of Noble Savages and allies by the Good seafaring civilizations. Their governments actually produce Powered Armor that can be used by Dolphins and smaller whales, and assigned when they're working for them. The game also features Dog Boys, uplifted dogs created by the Coalition to serve as scouts and shock troops.

Uplifted Animal / int_e86ee9b9	comment	Rex the Wonder Dog was presumably a normal puppy before the experiments which led to his near human intelligence. Though he originally couldn't talk since a dog's mouth isn't designed for such, he knew English and Japanese, can read, and could find other ways to communicate. After a drink from the Fountain of Youth the wonder dog developed the ability to talk as well, though he doesn't use it terribly often.

The Raised Rats were brought to the House by the Piper, who gave them speech, intelligence, and made them much bigger. They are a rather mercantile people who trade their services for information (although they also remain loyal to the Piper), and their Steampunk technology is damn impressive.

Uplifted Animal / int_f4cc10a8	comment	Played with in The Migax Cycle. Skeefers were altered to make their brains function more closely to a human's, but they were sapient before and don't consider it uplifting. On the other hand, the same traditions of Uplift also force them to give humanity a modicum of respect, as patrons of not one but two sapient species. Had humanity not by sheer coincidence started uplifting dolphins and chimps before First Contact, we might have been forced to become clients of another (likely abusive) species or even exterminated for ecological mismanagement.

Ferrans have won their freedom a century later with a bloody civil war. There are actually 3 branches of them: mammals (most common), birds (nearly wiped out) and reptiles (rare because of low birth rate), ferrans can only reproduce with ferrans of the same branch. However, they aren't the only Beast Folk on Aden, just the most human-like and outwardly diverse.
