Sonic is just an iconic design. It doesn't get much more effective than this. My favorite "look" for Sonic is how he's portrayed in Sonic CD/the OVA but I like all his designs from the mainline games.
Kirby for sure. Super cute and versatile. I love a lot of the Kirby enemy designs too. Waddle Dees are cute enough to helm their own series.
The cutest~

I really like Orisa from Overwatch.
Love Orisa's design. Fuck the haters.

I think what I posted are actually all from different entries, lol
Googling "[Mana title] concept art" brings up pages from this Mana wiki like this one which has quite a few, tho it seems it's missing a bunch for each title which are instead scattered across the wiki for the different monster entries. A bit confusing.
People actually hate Orisa? That's news to me, as I think she's one of the cooler robot designs from Overwatch.
Helps that she's a nice balance of cute and badass.

I love all the designs in Beyond Good and Evil, but this shark is my particular favourite

I really like Yooka-Laylee's design
A lot of great characters in that game actually; Trowzer and Capital B in particular have great designs.

I see it a lot. Folks say she's boring and uninspired and doesn't fit in overwatch. They are wrong.

Anthro goes to Sonic. He may have shit games more often than not, but damn if he ain't a phenomenal design.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
This for me.The Chozo from metroid are also pretty cool looking.
Scias from BoFIV is second place.

I have a soft spot for frog characters:
Frog - Chrono Trigger
Filmia - The Legend of Legacy

A topic full of good ideas and good characters
I don't have any of my massive compilation of Animal Crossing villager images any more to post.
Why the FUCK is goddamn Rayman in the OP though, his dumpsterfire floating limb and 90s boyband hairstyle bother me so much
He looks like the creation of a 31 yr old with the artistic skill of a 13 yr old

Yep.
Lot of nostalgia cloud for something like this, family-friendly games ingrained in people's childhoods. Generally western developed games have terrible animal-character designs IMO. Most Rare character designs and C-grade Sonic ripoffs like Crash are really bad.

I love the bugs of Hollow Knight.
I love it when people said they don't want to play Dust: An Elysian Tail just because it has anthropomorphic characters
Tbf, even though I love the artstyle I can see it as a love-it-or-hate-it style.

The only reason I didn't make a proper post is because all my favourites have already been posted!
Also, trust me, Both the human threads have people doing exactly the same thing as me, because there are *lots* of attractive humans in gaming, and not *just* the "traditionally" attractive ones. (I know people head over heels for Roadhog, for example)
But if you must...
Turing from 2064: Read Only Memories.
Journey's protag has a very elegant design.
In addition to being an iconic design, Bowser is one of the few characters that can pull off both evil and goofy.
GLaDOS isn't even humanoid, but she has so much personality. Really, all the robotic characters and turrets in Portal are fantastic non-human designs.
Turing from 2064: Read Only Memories.
Turing is a national treasure.
I think she fits really well. Haven't gotten to play her as much as I'd like, but she fills a role that this game has kinda been missing.

Gonna get flack for this but i loved the blocky redesigned characters from banjo kazooie nuts and bolts. Even more so than the original looks.
Not from me you're not. Probably one of the best character redesigns I've seen - it's slick as hell and gives them so much more of an immediate identity.

I like this thread.
Real post: It's cool seeing all of these different takes on the same concept of 'humanizing' stuff.

Why the fuck did they give banjo human teeth???

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Shining series anthros. Rouen is the best.
Also kemono design > western design.

this fuzzy fucker. (Asgore from Undertale)
Asgore is the best character in a long while period. Love his design, his personality and how he fits in the world.
I want to play as Asgores sidekick in a potential new Undertale game.

Been playing through Steamworld Heist which has some great designs, with Captain Piper being a standout:
Vortigaunts are weirdly appealing, despite all the eyes and the vestigial arm:
Oh, and Moth from Creepy Castle:

I love the Rayman games but can't fucking stand his character design and I'm convinced the only reason people say it's good is because of nostalgia.

A neighbourhood friend of my brother's had a demo of this game. Maybe it's because they didn't have any sound on their machine so it was all eerily silent, but it's one of my earliest memories of a game really frightening me.
So anyway, that frightening game has evil squirrels wearing bright red neck-high sweaters, huh?
I find it sad that this game hardly got any buzz around here. That one trailer thread just had most people calling it an Undertale ripoff, lolOh, and Moth from Creepy Castle:
I like the happy/goofy designs of most characters in that game

Music actually makes game even scarier. A short glimpse of the OST:

You even get to kill some monks in a monastery later on.
Squirrel is the main hero transformation if you mix some spells.
But it was really first game I played to combine cute creatures with adult violence and humor. In fact I havent seen anything similar, excluding anime blobs
