This is a list of minor animals that have appeared in the television series, the comic books, or anything else related to Miraculous. Make sure to add animals who have appeared as background characters, minor characters, or in one specific episode here:
Bears
A bear is in an exhibit at the zoo in Ménagerie du Jardin des Plantes. When Otis is akumatized into "Animan", he releases the bear. While free, the bear uses a car as a back scratcher (a reference to the Jungle Book) while its owner is trying to prop it up with a carjack. While Akumatized, Otis also turns into a bear form to fight against Ladybug and Cat Noir.
Butterflies
Gabriel Agreste owns a plethora of white butterflies that he turns into akumas. He nurtures them in the underground repository in the vegetation surrounding Emilie Agreste's cryogenic pod, and harvests them when they hatch.
When the akumas are purified by Ladybug and become regular butterflies again, they don't return to Hawk Moth's lair, instead roaming free throughout Paris.
When Hawk Moth became Scarlet Moth, the butterflies were transformed into Scarlet Akumas.
Catfish
Multiple catfish live in the Seine. In the Miraculous Adventures story "Trash Krakken Part 1", after a fisherman is akumatized into the villain Silurus, he gains the ability to control said catfish. One giant catfish lands with its mouth open onto Chloé, who complains she is being swallowed by a "too fresh piece of sushi."
Cats
While Marinette as Ladybug is trying to record a new video for Alya with Alya's cellphone in "The Mime", a gray cat comes by and knocks the placed cellphone into the garbage can below.
In "Simon Says", Marinette thinks back to when as Ladybug she saved a gray cat in a tree. Denis Damocles, in his persona of The Owl, tries to save another gray cat stuck in a tree in "The Dark Owl", but when the cat bites him, they both fall off the tree and Ladybug and Cat Noir catch them.
In the episode "Kuro Neko", a small child becomes one of Gabriel Agreste's (Shadow Moth at the time) victims and he promised her "the biggest cat in the whole wide world". When Ladybug convinces the child to get rid of Kuro Neko (sentimonster), the child cries about her losing her cat. Then, Cat Walker (an updated version of Cat Noir) comes in and gives the child the cat. The child happily plays with it, running around the football / soccer stadium with it.
A black cat appears in the theme song when it runs in front of Marinette while she is running to school. Black cats are believed to cause bad luck, causing her to trip and fall.
Crocodiles
A Crocodile is an exhibit at the Ménagerie du Jardin des Plantes zoo in Paris. When Otis is akumatized into the titular villain, he releases the crocodile. Jagged Stone also owns a crocodile named Fang.
Sightings
Eagles
An Eagle is an exhibit at the Ménagerie du Jardin des Plantes zoo located in Paris. In "Animan", after Otis is akumatized into the titular villain, he releases the Eagle. There is also a Miraculous based on the animal, which Liiri inhabits, and is currently being used by Jessica Keynes.

Gorillas
Gorillas are an exhibit at the Ménagerie du Jardin des Plantes zoo located in Paris. In "Animan", after Otis is akumatized into the titular villain, he releases the Gorillas. During their time out of the cages, the Gorillas mess around in the Métro. In "Gorizilla, Placide I.T. is akumatized by Hawk Moth into a Gorilla-themed supervillain. In "Queen Banana, Shadow Moth creates a Gorilla-themed Sentimonster, Banana Boom-Boom, from Chloé Bourgeois' emotions. A gorilla also appears at the beginning of "Syren".
Horses
Santa Claus owns two brown horses that pull his sleigh through the snowy streets of Paris in "Santa Claws". When Santa is akumatized into Santa Claws, his horses are transformed into black reindeer.
Ladybugs
A ladybug lands on the Valentines' Day card that Marinette is writing for Adrien in "Dark Cupid", Alya calling it a good omen. She mentions this because at the time of the episode, she had uploaded to her 'Ladyblog', saying Ladybugs mean 'good luck' and 'new beginnings'. Alya implies Marinette doesn't read her blog when Marinette has no clue of what Alya is talking about. When Adrien receives the card later, he doesn't know who it's from because Marinette forgot to sign it. Another ladybug lands on it, and Adrien assumes it means that the card is from Ladybug.
Panthers
Panthers are an exhibit at the Ménagerie du Jardin des Plantes zoo located in Paris. In "Animan", after Otis is akumatized into the titular villain, he releases a panther. In "Syren", the Panthers escape the zoo but are later captured by Ladybug and Cat Noir.
Pigeons
Pigeons are a recurring species of bird that live in Paris, France. They are currently being fed by Xavier Ramier. The pigeons are fond of Mr. Ramier because of his frequent feedings for them. The pigeons fall under his control whenever he is akumatized into Mr. Pigeon, however, the pigeons stop listening to him if they see available food.
In "Mr. Pigeon", after Mr. Ramier is akumatized into the titular villain, he uses his whistle to control all Pigeons in Paris. In "Mr. Pigeon 72", after Mr. Ramier is re-akumatized for the 72nd time into Mr. Pigeon, he blows on his whistle turning all Pigeons that live in Paris into raven-pigeon hybrids, with the ability to also turn humans into villainous pigeons.
