The beauty of animation is you can introduce all the animals your heart desires without having to deal with them wandering off, attacking the crew, or throwing poop at the cast (looking at you, Annie's Boobs). So with this week's Archer introducing your new favorite canine member of the show's universe there's no better time to take a look back at all the (mostly) lovable animals we've met over three and a half seasons. Also (slightly NSFW-ishly) relevant.
Many thanks to the wonderful folks at Floyd County for helping me research and providing all the various swine stills. Honorable Mention: Pam's Dolphin.
Malory's true love and the inspiration for Archer's codename. The dog died doing what it loved: eating chocolate.
If you're not fascinated by a bark that sound EXACTLY like "Puttin' on the Ritz" then you're not human. Also, named after a French philosopher and monk.
He won't fit inside a person's brain.
Simply an AMAAAAZING pet.
I choose to believe Krieger possesses ant strength.
You can't be Pirate King without a parrot. Them's the rules.
Seeing imaginary ostriches is what happens when you trip bear balls (also an animal reference?).
We're all still scarred by Fourth of Ju-Luau.
The bad news: High in radioactivity. The good news: Great at eating North Koreans.
Because is there really any other animal in the Archer universe? Kazak may have something to say about that.

Serpentine, Baboo!
Why does Uproxx keep jumping to the very bottom of the page every time I hit next?!
Not sure but single page link is here to help: [www.uproxx.com]
Maske: THAT is very useful information… I know uproxx wants the unique page views but that can often be tiresome. Is there a way to do this on each page without me having to type the ending?
Also; Bawk Bawk!
ABEGARD GO!
…do you not hear that?
Abelard: Philosopher, monk, epic-level douchebag. Seriously, even Archer would probably think the whole screwing-his-13-year-old-student-and-then-ignoring-her-proclamations-of-love-for-years thing was kind of a dick move.
(I had to read Historia Calamitatum at school. I was told they were an epic love story. Now I bitterly inflict my opinions on strangers on the internet. There’s probably some kind of cause and effect going on there)
To be fair, Heloise’s father did make Abelard a eunuch after he found out what Abelard did to his daughter. I’m sure that’d be a deal-breaker for both parties.
Is that a dog? IS THAT A DOG?! Awww adorable..NOW GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE!
I’m surprised Woodhouse didn’t make this list considering Archer uses the same phrase with him that he uses with the animals: “He thinks he’s people!”
Anticipate a callback.
I loved that the lemur was named Reggie by Woodhouse in the first season.
Pam’s dolphin or Pam’s octopus?
Sidenote: Any chance of a hi-rez of Piggly II? He gets a tad blurry when set as the desktop image.
Here to serve, Billy. [www.uproxx.com]
Much gooder.
Thanks.
no gators? No snake? Did once bitten not happen?
Way to ruin the moment.
Aww, Goatly.
Also this.
Pouty fighting fish is a glaring omission.
My only regret is that Reggie tying off Woodhouse can’t be adequately cropped into an avatar that will fit nicely on this website.
Every time I change my avatar, it tells me 30m to see, I call shenanigans. It never changes, even after Cntl-F5.
It’s like Meowschwitz in there. And how could we forget Archer’s 3rd biggest fear, the gator he show with the compound bow
I don’t get the Rabbert Klein joke (if there is anything to get.)
Kreiger: What’s weird is guess what I already named that rabbit?
Archer: Rabbert Klein?
Kreiger: Wow, that’s actually better.
Does Robert Klein have anything to do with mind control implants?
I assumed it was a play on rabbits hopping and Robert Klein’s “I Can’t Stop My Leg” bit.
Yeah, the rabbit’s leg would thump when the chip was active. Here’s the video:

I still think the Piggy Kreiger shoves in his pocket is best
Yes, pocket piglet rules
I concur.
No Komodo dragon? I’m assuming that is what Kreiger was hiding fro at the beginning of Midnight Ron
Babu the ocelot is the correct answer.
One of the best parts about Babou is that given the series’ flexible timeline and depending on the lifespan of ocelots, the Babou owned by the Family Tunt could actually be Salvador Dali’s pet ocelot, Babou, purchased from him. That’s the kind of insane random theorizing I can get behind.
That wouldn’t be the case as Ocelots have a pretty short life span. I think they can live from 15-20 years in captivity. This is drawing back on memory when I last saw an ocelot at a zoo many years ago. So, I could be horribly wrong.
They live to 20 years in captivity, yes, but I was mostly going on Babou at least still being alive in the mid-60s, when Dali took it aboard the SS France. Like I said, it’s a long shot, but still amusing to think about.
Don’t judge me…Food.
I’d also like to believe the irradiated ants are foreshadowing to Frisky Dingo.
Ocelot FTW that train episode was hilarious
I never noticed the placement of Malory’s foot in the picture with Duchess. That would explain the odd look on the dog’s face.
Yes yes I know it’s an homage to the Mr and Mrs Ono picture but still it looks like she’s getting up in there.
Love Baboo
I still have the Canadian Train episode on my DVR, just watched it again last night.
IT WAS SARCASM. YES, ALL OF IT.
You also forgot GURPGORK!
Baboo and Karzak ruled!
