Creatures of Hetalia

There are many animals that appear in Axis Powers Hetalia. This article includes information about the character's pets and other animals that appear in the series.

Alfred's Whale
When ordered to "go make friends" in Japan, Alfred befriended a whale. Later, the same whale is shown to be living in a pool in Alfred's backyard. It has a fondness for Toris, much to Tony's jealousy.

Antonio's Bull
A small bull sometimes shows up alongside Antonio to aid him. The bull charged into Sadiq Adnan's carriage after he kidnapped Lovino to break him free and was later used to carry him back home. He also attacked Francis from behind during The Battle of Garigliano. During the April Fool's fake news report, the bull sat next to Antonio with his own name tag that reads as "cattle" or "cow".

Antonio's Turtles
Antonio was out in a resturant with Lovino in order to cheer him up when he exclaimed that even the turtle was worried about him. Lovino looked down to see a baby turtle sitting on his knee. When he looked up, he screams that baby turtles are all over Antonio. Antonio says that even baby turtles adore him, and Lovino yells at him.

It appears that Antonio kept these turtles, as the later appear with him in several strips.

Arthur's Magical Creatures
Arthur has various magical creatures that appear before him, such as fairies, pixies, unicorns, and a little winged rabbit. Fanon has suggested various different names for his unicorn, and the green flying fairy-rabbit suggested as being Arthur's magical familiar. In an exclusive clip from the English dub, Arthur refers to the fairy rabbit as "Flying mint bunny", indicating that the rabbit has no real name.

Arthur's Rabbit
In some comics, a younger version of Arthur is shown to have had a rabbit that followed him around. Some fans suggest that this rabbit was a gift from Francis, as rabbits weren't native in England and were introduced by the French.

Australia's Koala
Australia is shown to own a koala, which often looks very angry.

Feliks' Pony
Feliks reveals he has a pony to Francis and Arthur when they ask him if he has made preparations for a fight against Ludwig.

Francis' Birds
Francis has several small birds, all named Pierre, who are used to send letters and messages to Antonio and other nations. Feliciano commented on Gilbert's blog and asked if his bird could do the same.

Gilbert's Bird
Gilbert has a small yellow bird, which often rides on his head. He didn't know about the bird until he started a blog and someone emailed him about it. The bird does not have an official name, but is often called Gilbird. Additionally, due to how the blog was set up, it is possible that "Gilbird" transforms into Raivis when patted on the head.

Hanatamago
Hanatamago is a small white dog who belongs to Tino and Berwald. She was able to talk in a Christmas special, and said that she wished she had a normal name like 'Charlotte', and that she didn't like the things Tino feeds her.

Some fans theorize that she may possibly represent the Åland Islands, which are geographically located between both Sweden and Finland (while Hanatamago happens to live with both as a pet).

Heracles' Cats
Heracles' has many cats that live in his house and follow him around, parodying the large amount of stray cats found in Greece. Most of them are not named, as Kiku found out while talking to Heracles.

Iceland's Mr. Puffin
Iceland is often drawn with a puffin-like bird. Not much is known about it, besides that it follows Iceland and eats fish. In volume 3, he is briefly mentioned on an artwork with Iceland. Himaruya states that the puffins name is 'Mr. Puffin'. He is differentiated from other puffins with his black belly and pink bow tie. Mr. Puffin may look cute, but he speaks and acts like a mafioso. There's no expanation why he acts that way. Though Mr. Puffin is one of the few animals that can talk, he is never shown actually talking in the series.

Russia's Rabbits
In the 2008 April 1st strip, we see Spain reporting on strange international news. Towards the beginning, he mentions that rabbits in Russia had retreated to the mountains very suddenly. The strip includes a picture of Ivan happily petting one of these rabbits.

Kiku's Magical Creatures

 * Voiced by: Hozumi Gōda (Kappa), Takahiro Mizushima (Youkai), and Yuki Kaida (Zashiki-warashi)

Along with Arthur, Kiku also has a number of magical creatures, including a kappa, a youkai (in this case, a talking onion-head), and a zashiki-warashi.

In Episode 30, Arthur is able to see and even talk to these creatures. They explain that back in the day, some humans feared them while others believed in them and could see them, Kiku included. However, in the new era, nobody acknowledges their existence anymore and they have become mere superstition. They also mention that they used to have conversations with Kiku, but, like everyone else, he has stopped believing in their existence.

Kitty

 * Voiced by: Aki Kanada

Kitty is a brown cat that appeared with Feliciano in Episode 13, and again with Kiku in Episode 19, as well as some random points in the anime. It also appears in Hetalia: Axis Powers: Paint it, White.

Kokolo
Cameroon is revealed to have a pet lion cub named Kokolo after his appearance in the special edition booklet of Hetalia: Axis Powers volume 3.

Kumajirou

 * Voiced by: Ai Iwamura

Kumajirou is a small polar bear who belongs to Matthew. He often forgets who his owner is, and in return, Matthew cannot remember his exact name.

Ludwig's Dogs
Ludwig has three dogs shown and named in canon: Blackie, Berlitz, and Aster, all three of which are mentioned in his version of Hatafutte Parade. Blackie is believed to be a short-haired German Shepherd, Berlitz a Doberman, and Aster appears to be a Golden Retriever.

A fourth, unnamed dog and its puppy have been shown in the trading card set. They appear to be Dalmatians. Ludwig has also briefly appeared with a dog and a cat in an early Christmas-themed strip.

Netherlands' Rabbit
In one strip, Netherlands is shown to have a pet rabbit with a heart-shaped spot on its back. The rabbit is able to communicate with Pochi, and reveals that its master has become lonely due to the conflict with Belgium.

New Zealand's Sheep
New Zealand has been drawn with a sheep on the Axis Powers Hetalia World Map from volume 3 of the manga. It parodies the fact that there are more sheep in New Zealand than there are people.

Norway's Magical Creatures
Norway is shown to have creature companions from Norse mythology. He's often drawn with a troll or a chubby green pixie/fairy, but is said to also have a nisse.

Pochi

 * Voiced by: Aki Kanada

Pochi (or Pochi-kun), is a small brown (sometimes colored white) hybrid Shiba dog that belongs to Kiku. He is often shown with his master, and has appeared in a sketch with Hanatamago and another with one of France's Pierres. It is revealed in a later strip that Pochi is as reserved as his master, becoming angered when Netherlands's pet rabbit licked him and ordering it to take responsibility.

Tony

 * Voiced by: Hiroki Yasumoto

An alien who came to live with Alfred after the Roswell Incident. He seems to have hated Arthur ever since they first met, going as far as to call him a "f*king limey" ('limey' being a bad slang term for 'British'). He seems to be quite fond of Toris, though, trying to abduct him with a spaceship and geting jealous whenever he spends more time with Alfred's whale. In one of the mini dramas, he ends his sentences with "bubu".

Vash's Goats
Eiger, Jungfrau, and Mönch are the names of Vash's pet goats, all named after Swiss mountains. He is pictured with one on the official Hetalia calendar.
