Anthropomorphic is used to refer to objects that look vaguely human.
Is there an analogous word for objects that look vaguely like animals?
GE ran an ad for a GE walking truck that made it look like a skeleton of an animal with the headlights in the position of eyes. Yes, Lucas really did use it as inspiration.
The walking truck didn’t look like a beastie from any other angle, just in this one ad. What’s the word that would describe it?
Small nitpick – although “anthropomorphic” is comprised of the Greek roots “anthropos” (human) and “morphe” (form), I think its more precise usage is not so much “looks human-like” but rather the idea of attributing human traits to something.
Anyway, on the same etymology I think the word you want is “zoomorphic”.
Yeah, that’s the formal dictionary definition, but I’ve seen the use extended to appearance as well. Human-looking robots are often termed anthropomorphic.
Zoomorphic was what I was looking for, so thanks.
Poking around a bit I find that anthropomorphous is the proper word for “ascribing human form or attributes to a being or thing not human.” Virtually nobody ever uses that term, though. I looked for zoomorphous but that didn’t come up in Google. Apparently the closest word is Zoomorphism.
I may just coin zoomorphous and get the Google hit.
Of course those nuances pale in comparison to references I often see to “anthropomorphic” climate change. I suppose it’s accurate if one believes that a rainy day indicates that the climate is unhappy, and a hurricane means the climate is very, very angry! 
I usually hear climate change described not as anthropomorphic but rather anthropogenic. I strongly suspect that those calling climate change “anthropomorphic” are trying—and failing—to reproduce what they heard, which was “anthropogenic.”
