Favorite SF/F Pets, Animal Sidekicks, ect.

[JD]

Since today is Love Your Pet Day, I thought it might be fun to start a thread about our favorite sci-fi and fantasy pets, and animal sidekicks. Feel free to include talking animals and fictional creatures, but keep it away from anthropomorphized animal characters.
My favorites:
Porthos from ST: Enterprise
Spot from ST:TNG
Fizzgig from The Dark Crystal
Hedwig, Fang, Fawkes, and Crookshanks from Harry Potter
Newt's beasts in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
Brego and Shadowfax from LOTR

Krypto, dog of Superboy/Superman
Jones from Alien
Cringer/Battle Cat from Masters of the Universe
Cagney, Elisa Maza's cat from Gargoyles
K9 from Doctor Who/The Sarah Jane Adventures
Muffit II from Battlestar Galactica

 

[auntiehill]

Spot from TNG
Porthos from ENT
K-9 from Doctor Who
The Direwolves from Game of Thrones
Nibbler from Futurama
Pyewacket from Bell, Book and Candle
Muffit II from Original BSG

[JD]

Ohh, you've got some good ones I forgot about like K-9, Nibbler, The Direwolves, and Dug.

 

[kirk55555]

K-9
Lockjaw (Marvel comics)

 

[JD]

I remembered a couple others I forgot in my last posts, Mouse (the dog) from The Dresden Files and Grendel (the disgusting poodle) from the Kate Daniels books.

 

[Kai "the spy"]

Seymour from Futurama
Azrael, Gargamel's cat from The Smurfs
Idéfix (or Dogmatix) from Asterix
Snowy from The Adventures of Tintin (first dog on the moon)
Copernicus and Einstein from Back To The Future
Gizmo from Gremlins
Bronx from Gargoyles (can't believe I thought of Cagney before Bronx)
Dennis the Dog from Absolutely Anything
The "horses" from Monty Python & the Holy Grail

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

The "horses" from Monty Python & the Holy Grail

You're using coconuts! You've got two empty 'alves of coconut and you're bangin' 'em together.

For me:
Muffit II (BSG) - I was 11
K9 (DW)
Nibbler (Futurama)
Bubo (Clash Of The Titans 1981)

 

[Mysterion]

Nimitz (in particular) and treecats (in general) from David Weber's Honor Harrington books.

 

[Greg Cox]

Zabu, Ka-Zar's sabertooth companion in the comics.

And another vote for Lockjaw. I swear, half the reason I want an INHUMANS movie or TV series is so we can get Lockjaw on screen. (A MS. MARVEL tv show would also suffice.)

 

[JD]

Seymour from Futurama

I forgot about Seymour. The last scene of the episode that introduced him is still one of the saddest things I've ever seen on TV.

 

[Sparkle Fabulosa]

Argo (Xena Warrior Princess) was one kick-ass horse!

 

[Greg Cox]

Argo (Xena Warrior Princess) was one kick-ass horse!

Ooh, good one!

Has anyone mentioned Ace the Bat-Hound yet?

 

[Sparkle Fabulosa]

I just remembered... Salem from Sabrina The Teenage Witch!

 

[Greg Cox]

Ohmigod, how did I forget: Isis, Gary Seven's companion.

"That, Miss Lincoln, is my cat."

 

[JD]

Isis was pretty cool.
