Yeah there definitely is.
I forget what the technique is called, fur-shells maybe?
But basically you duplicate the mesh and scale it out a tiny bit, and do that a few times. Then apply a texture that has alpha on it to the shells, and it'll make a pseudo-fuzzy effect. You can see it in a lot of older games, and it's used in a few nowadays too.
You can get different looks depending on what kind of textures you use, the distance between shells, and the movement between them (like rotating them 1-2 degrees might give some direction to them).
