As much as I appreciate the skill and artistry that goes in to cosplay, I have to admit to secretly judging those who participate. I know I shouldn’t ; it’s okay that you lot are weird and want to play dress up. I’m weird too, and have a number of eccentricities that would likely cause you to raise an eyebrow. We’re all just people, and that’s cool. When people start dressing their pets up though, then I think the raised brows are justified.

Here then is a gallery of just that; pets dressed as your favourite video game characters; sometimes odd, sometimes fantastic, sometime hilarious and sometimes very lightly bordering on cruelty (Where are you NOW, PETA?). They’re mostly dogs; you’d have to be exceptionally brave and/or stupid to get a cat in to a costume.

The only thing all of them have in common is a look upon their faces that screams “Please kill me.”

Katamari Damacy

I just rolled around in my own faeces.

Amaterasu from Okami

This is probably the very best animal cosplay ever. EVER.

Bowser

Bow-wowser? Either way, Mario is a giant dick.

Cats wearing Mario Bros hats

Meowrio and Mewigi.

Super Mario

There’s a joke here about sausages, plumbing and pipes – but I’m not touching it.

A sad and miserable looking Yoshi.

Attach a child in a red Mario hat to my back, and I won’t be responsible for the consequences.

The Legend of Zelda’s Link.

I’ll retrieve the Master-Sword for two scooby-snacks.

The Legend of Zelda’s missing Link

He possesses the Triforce of Corgi, amirite?

Pikachu

Say “Pika” one more time and I’ll bite your face off.

Blanka from Street Fighter II

I will murder your family.
