Butt Biter

No need for such a biting response, Calvin.

"Bitten in ze butt!
Got an awful tear!
Took a little nibble from my derriere!
I will get you in ze end, dog!
You'll regret you bit me, chum!
Ooooh, I am so irritated I got bitten in ze bum!"

—Les Miseranimals, Animaniacs

Animals are one of nature's beauties of the earth. Some are cute and cuddly while others can be rather shy. However, there's this kind of animal, the biting kind that can literally bite you on the butt if you're not careful.

This breed of animal is what's known as a Butt Biter, they can be dogs, cats, pigs, ferrets, any other animal you can think of. The next time you come across this type of animal, beware.

Often results in the butt-biter making off with a piece of trouser fabric, leaving a hole behind through which Goofy Print Underwear may be visible.

Examples of Butt Biter include:

Anime and Manga

• Not really getting bitten, but JP from Digimon Frontier gets pinched in the butt by a crab.
• Half Prince had this happen to the main character in the first chapter.
• Happens to King Dedede near the end of that episode of Kirby: Right Back at Ya! with the Dedede dolls as a result of one of said dolls being bitten by a mole shortly after being buried in the ground as an attempt to prevent it from menacing anyone. Dedede then proceeds to thrash around, causing the doll to attack the innocent one last time before Kirby swallows the doll, causing Dedede to for some reason fly off into outer space and fly past a planet shaped like him.
• A dog does this to Shinobu in Love Hina, what makes it worse is that this is after she had already failed some tests at school. The same dog also bites Keitaro earlier on in the manga.

• Believe it or not, Chris actually fell victim to this trope once, at the end of the Moses episode of Superbook. Chris tried pinning the blame for breaking his father's vase on his dog Ruffles.

• Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Jim Cook's companion crocodile Karen bit Kenzan and Shou on two different occasions.

Comics

• De Cape et de Crocs: Justified in that the main characters are a wolf and a fox, and are tied up. This even leads to a sadly-untranslateable Double Entendre: the others are using various puns based on what body part is being attacked (forehead, eye, throat, the guy getting bitten stops short of saying he's being sodomized).
• In Dennis the Menace UK, Gnasher does this to the postman. One story revealed he had a collection of ripped seats from blue uniform trousers.
• Calvin and Hobbes: Pictured above, Calvin got bitten by a fish while he was out fishing.

Bart: And the dog in the Coppertone ad? Same deal, Dad?
Homer: Well, that's kind of a grey area.
