Favorite uses of animals in video games?

I very much liked the animal picture taking side quest in Beyond Good and Evil. What's fascinating is how the game included humanoid animals as well, so you were also taking pictures of NPC characters

Canine pals in horror games like Until Dawn, Resident Evil 4, and Haunting Ground

Other cool video game dogs

Everything about Viva Pinata

Animal mounts can be really powerful in Dynasty Warriors games, particularly Shadow Runner. This horse paired with certain characters who excel at mounted combat makes them unstoppable in certain installments. It was also pretty fun running people over in DW 3 while mounted on an elephant.

Do the chao in Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 count? I adore those lil freaks! They feed into the gameplay loop so damn well and I've lost hours just watching them wander about and do a whole lot of nothin.
