Creatures of Hetalia

There are many animals that appear in Axis Powers Hetalia/Hetalia:Axis Powers. This article includes information about the characters' pets, and other animals that appear in the series.

Pets

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 the alien Tony's jealousy. Known as Ameriwhale to some fans.

Arthur's Magical Creatures

Arthur has various magical creatures that appear before him, such as fairies, pixies, unicorns, and a little winged rabbit (one of the many types of fairies that hang around him). Fanon has suggested various different names for his unicorn, and the flying fairy rabbit is suggested in fanon as being Arthur's magical familiar.

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.
