Fannish Five (late!)

Fannish Friday 5
Who are your 5 favorite non-humanoid characters?

1. Diefenbaker (Due South)
2. Hobbes (Calvin & Hobbes)
3. Appa (Avatar)
4. Pilot (Farscape)
5. Bernard & Bianca (The Rescuers)

This was more difficult than I originally thought, because I realized non-humanoid is not the same thing as non-human, which rules out 99% of Star Trek, Star Wars, and other aliens & monsters. The first three spots were easy, but competitors for the last two included Elda (Dark Lord of Derkholm), Bunnicula, the Disreputable Dog & Mogget (Abhorsen books), Faithful/Pounce (Tortall books), Aslan (Narnia), Kazul (Enchanted Forest Chronicles), the Cowardly Lion (Oz books), and the Beaver (I Want to Go Home!).

Yeah, Dief and Hobbes totally take the top places. <3

Does Chewbacca count as humanoid? And the TARDIS? Sentient, or semi-sentient? Also, Gizmo from Gremlins. And the Beast from Beauty & the Beast. Sebastian from The Little Mermaid! Oh, stop me now before I start in on Disney...

I didn't consider any bipedal aliens with vaguely human anatomy in my list - so D'Argo, Chewie, or all Star Trek aliens were out (even Keenser). I thought about the TARDIS, but it's not really a *character*, exactly. I thought about a bunch of Disney movies (Scar almost made the list, but I forgot to write him down), but B & B were my favorites. I think I disregarded Beast because he's *technically* human.

DIEF WINS ALWAYS

Oh man, I loved the Bunnicula books. And Elda is the one who winds up going to wizard school, right? Because she is ADORABLE. Also KAZUL KING OF THE DRAGONS. And and.

I can't actually mention Appa without having Momo because Appa is awesome by himself but really it is Team AppaMomo.

Yes! Elda goes off to have whacky academic shenanigans. And Kazul owns EVERYONE.

I almost put Appa & Momo, like I did Bernard & Bianca, but I love Appa slightly better. ONLY SLIGHTLY. I STILL LOVE YOU MOMO.

Hah, you had to get really picky, didn't you? :) I'm with you on D'Argo and the Trek aliens, but Chewie's not really humanoid IMO, despite being bipedal.

Kazul! The best damn king the dragons ever had. (And her grandchild was pretty nifty too, even if it wasn't too bright.)
