Description: Dude, your parents and teachers just don't understand... but hey, this focus-tested, anthropomorphic, cereal box reject totally gets you! Whoa, he even wears sneakers! What better way of reminding everyone who's boss than by wasting your allowance money on this bargain bin crap 🌸of a game... and its sequels? Kid power!

Common characteristics:

• Any type of animal species acceptable, so long as it can wear shades, goggles and/or a backwards baseball cap. Radical!
• Often engaged in some sort of extreme sports activity or mild criminal caper. To the max!
• Whether flashing a sarcastic smile, mischievous grin or rebellious snarl, must display as many teeth as possible. Wicked!
• Spiky hairstyle (furstyle?) welcome, but crazily angled eyebrows preferred. Bodacious!
• Either giving the player a bitchin' thumbs-up sign or pointing defiantly at itself as if to say, "Yeah, I'm a windsurfing hippopotamus. What are YOU gonna do about it, gramps?"

The Antidote:

Amaterasu, a white wolf goddesဣs and the star of Okami, doesn't need "attitude." She has majesty, wisdom and grace instead. She doesn't need a skateboard or ray gun to make her i🐼nteresting, because her creators understood that animals are already fascinating enough on their own.
