Get the The Jimbibi Effectmug. Alt forms: curtaincall effect
The trend seen in character designs where non-human but still humanoid characters, especially aliens and anthropomorphic animals, do not wear clothing or do not wear clothing that would be seen as sufficient by humans. Examples are Ficus Licker from Undertale, Daniel Tiger from Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, and Timmy and Tommy from Animal Crossing.
