 Earthworm Jim
Jim himself (a character designed by Doug TenNapel) was at first an ordinary Earth earthworm who did very earthworm-like things such as flee from crows and eat dirt.
For example, one level requires Jim to burrow through dirt using his gun; another is presented as an isometric shoot 'em up; in another the character wears a salamander suit and must be guided through an intestine lined with villi.
Though today Earthworm Jim is primarily recognized as a "video game character" Doug TenNapel always intended his character to be a diverse one, who appeared on many different entertainment mediums.
