Top 10 Cutest Anime Creatures

“D.N. Angel” (2003)

Sometimes, a cat or dog won’t do as the family pet. Instead, you need a rabbit like creature with large feet, long ears, and gigantic, puppy dog eyes. This lovable creature is part of the Niwa family, a family where the first generation males are able to transform into the handsome Dark Mousy. Wiz serves as Dark Mousy’s familiar and has a nifty ability where he can sense him calling out to him no matter how far away he is and come to his aid. He can also disguise himself as Daisuke... which can cause some problems.

“Blue Exorcist” (2011)

Anything can happen when you stop worshipping your cat. They can paw at you. They can nip at your hand. They can transform into a giant demon... this last part may be a bit scary, but even two-tailed, demonic cats are easy to please. All it took to calm Kuro down was a pep talk from Shiro Fujimoto... and some catnip whine. As to be expected with any pet, learning about the death of his master sent Kuro into a rage. Fortunately, lead protagonist, Rin, was able to comfort him, and in return, Rin now has a new, loyal companion.

“Magic Knight Rayearth” (1994-5), “Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle” (2005-06) and “xxxHolic” (2006)

Old school CLAMP fans will recognize this rabbit-like creature from “Magic Knight Rayearth” where he produced necessary items using the large, red gem on his forehead, and was only capable of making an adorable “Puu” sound. Different Mokona also appear in two of CLAMP’s popular series, a white one for Tsubasa and a black one in xxxHolic. This isn’t just an attempt to fill the cute anime mascot quota, as these little fellows manage to make themselves useful throughout the series.

“Fairy Tail” (2009-)

You know you’re in for something teeth-rottingly cute when a cat with wings hatches from an egg. All right, technically, Happy isn’t a cat, but he possesses the cat like attributes you’d expect from any feline: the ears, the paws, the long tail, the love for fish, and the dislike for dogs. However, unlike your average house cat, Happy is bright blue, can talk, and can take flight at high speeds. Amazingly enough, this doesn’t bother Natsu, who suffers from severe motion sickness. It must be that bond of friendship that keeps his stomach at ease.

“Digimon Tamers” (2001-02)

Alright, we said no Pokemon, we didn’t say anything about Digimon. There are a lot of digital monsters to choose from -- they are the champions, after all -- but when it comes to cute we had to give it to Calumon. If the large, green eyes don’t make your heart melt, the extending ears just might. To add to his cuteness factor, he’s always optimistic, even when he’s facing hardships. This makes him the perfect companion for the Tamers, and the perfect mascot for the series.

“One Piece” (1999-)

At first glance, people assume that this itty bitty reindeer was a pet for the Straw Hat Pirates. In reality, Chopper is the crew’s doctor. We’re fairly certain if more doctors were small, blue-nosed reindeer with big hats, we’d be more willing to make those regular check-ups. Even his vulgarities toward new humans is a bit endearing. Despite his naivety and occasional bursts of cowardly behavior, Chopper is loyal to his friends, proficient in battle, and always tries his best to help anyone in need.
