Character	Species	Origin and Author	Notes
Claw the Giant Ape	Ape	Beast Quest	Claw is the second beast Tom fights in Series Two, The Golden Armor. He guards the chain mail. He has a tail with a sting rather like a scorpion. He lives in the Dark Jungle in Avantia.
Francine Frensky	Monkey	Arthur's Valentine by Marc Brown	A tomboy who loves sports, drumming, and singing. She is 8 years old, and she is the best player on her team in just about every sport they play, rivaled only by the Brain at soccer and basketball.
Ishmael	Gorilla	Ishmael by Daniel Quinn	A philosopher who was captured from the wild when young and sent to the zoo. After the zoo sold him to a menagerie, an old Jewish man bought him and could communicate with him through his mind. Ishmael teaches captivity to the unnamed narrator.
The Librarian	Orangutan	Discworld by Terry Pratchett	The Librarian appeared in the first novel of the series, The Colour of Magic, and was transformed into an orang-utan in The Light Fantastic as the Octavo fired a beam of magic upwards. On discovering that being an orang-utan had certain advantages for a librarian - he can climb up to high shelves, for example - he refused to be transformed back into a human and has remained an orang-utan ever since. The other wizards have gradually become used to the situation, to the extent that, from Night Watch: 'if someone ever reported that there was an orang-utan in the Library, the wizards would probably go and ask the Librarian if he'd seen it'.
