SF/F Avatar Contest: Animals

Well I've been late posting this in part from tending to an ailing cat, so I'm hoping for a karmic boost with this theme... and some cool entries!

Animals in SF/F

...they can be ordinary animals in genre contexts, or sf or f creatures as well. Should be a wide range of possibilities!

I'm going to open with a real cat in an sf context:

 

It's a tribble!

 

Einstein, Dr. Emmett Brown's dog from Back to the Future

 

Amanda Tucker's (Actress Catherine Hicks) cat from "Tucker's Witch".

It was a short-lived series. Nothing bad, but nothing remarkable. A little fun. Certainly good be revived for television today.

Anyway, in the universe of the show, witches are real, but it's really not common knowledge. Amanda and her husband run a detective agency. Sometimes she'll get signals and pictures in her mind, communicated via her cat:




Of special note: the bouncy, fun and highly memorable and addictive orchestral theme music by Terminator composer Brad Fiedel:

Dammit. I love the T. Rex, I love the movie, I love this av.

But ...

*sigh*

...I'm changing my entry, because now that I thought of it, there's no way I'm not entering it:

 

I'm going to switch up too. To "Clever Girl" from the original Jurassic Park:

 

^ Good one! There's a vote.

 

...any more entries?

 

Some I didn't use:

 

And even more that I didn't use:

(didn't think of that one, did you)



That scene from "Never-Ending Story" traumatized my childhood.

 

OK folks, last call for entries... looking to put the poll up tomorrow so we can have a long holiday weekend to vote.

 

YMMV
