* The premise in ''Fanfic/DemonInFodlan'' is that the aftermath at the Temple of Time stripped Goetia a majority of his powers and turned him into a human. He decides to use this opportunity to observe humanity as a human, though his [[NoSocialSkills mannerism and behavior]] strikes him as odds by the other characters in the Officer's Academy.

* Ladies and gentlemen, we present [[http://www.drunkduck.com/Sonic_series/4973539/ Sonic and Shadow being turned human by poison-gas-that-wasn't]].
* In ''Fanfic/LostTalesOfFantasia'', [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 Scar]] is turned human to help the Disney villains siding with the [[UsefulNotes/NaziGermany Nazis]]. He offers the same to [[WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook1967 Shere Khan]].
* In episode 44 of ''Fanfic/PrettyCurePerfumePreppy'', [[spoiler:Pittan gains the ability to become human from Queen Aida, and is absolutely displeased with this, even refusing to go to school with the other girls. [[GilliganCut He does go anyways]]]].
* ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles: Fanfic/RiseOfTheGaleforces'' gives us a variant on this concept, with a little help from GeneticMemory. While it helps explain why the cloned Supers can access memories of their past lives, it also applies to non-human creatures as well. Thus, if a non-human creature, such as a ''Pteranodon'' in [[AuthorAvatar Adam's]] case, is cloned such that the copy has a predominantly human form, the copy would thus feel as though he were actually transformed into a human being.
* In the ''Manga/DeathNote'' fic ''Fanfic/ConstantTemptation'' Ryuk (a {{shinigami}}) is caught and punished for interfering in human affairs and being turned into a human is his punishment. Ryuk decides it's totally worth it when Watari shows him how to make apple pie.
* This is a commonly used trope in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fan works, and was widely used even before the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls'' series used a version of this in canon.
** In ''Fanfic/{{Anthropology}}'', Lyra Heartstrings is convinced that humans are more than just a fairy tale, and desperately wishes to know more about them, how they lived, etc. She goes so far as to [[spoiler:change her hooves into hands]], and it is eventually revealed that [[spoiler:she was HumanAllAlong, her obsession stemming from her previous life as a human. She's turned back into a human, and is sent to Earth.]]
** ''Fanfic/DiariesOfAMadman'': Twilight is turned into a human by a botched spell on Trixie's part. Once the spell is reversed, a few others occasionally make use of the human form.
** ''Fanfic/TheDresdenFillies'': The third story, ''Great Power'', has Twilight turn the Mane Six and Spike into humans in order to travel to Chicago. Things go [[HilarityEnsues wrong]] almost immediately -- among other things, they kept their original hair colors (explained away as hair dye) and Spike's slitted dragon eyes (explained as contact lenses).
** ''Fanfic/IfWishesWerePonies'': Ponies who travel to Earth through the portal become human witches and wizards, [[DownplayedTrope but are able to return to their original form]] thanks to the portal turning them into [[VoluntaryShapeshifting animagi]]. The same thing also happens to any changelings who traverse the portal; while they retain their shapeshifting powers and need to feed on love their ShapeshifterDefaultForm becomes human.
** ''Fanfic/RainbowDoubleDashsLunaverse'': Trixie accidentally manages to turn Lyra into a human in ''Helping... Hands?''. Trixie thought the spell was supposed to turn Lyra into a zebra, but unbeknownst to her the spellbook had been very badly mislabeled. Unlike in most fanon portrayals, Lyra does ''not'' enjoy it (and notably doesn't know what it is she's been turned into, settling on "naked bear"). In addition, the fact that the spellbook was badly mislabeled makes it very hard to turn her back, as while they know that there is a counterspell, they don't know which spell it is.
** ''Fanfic/ATwilightLanding'' sees Twilight Sparkle being turned into a human after being zapped to Earth. It takes getting used to walking, and she has to be reminded several times [[InnocentFanserviceGirl not to walk around naked]]. She's also curious about humans, but not to the point of obsession like Lyra above.
** ''Fanfic/ThePiecesLieWhereTheyFell'': [[spoiler:The fourth arc of the story has the new Mane Six - an ahuizotl, a batpony/nox pony, a unicorn/changeling hybrid, a griffon, a minotaur and a diamond dog - traveling through the Crystal Mirror and visiting the world of Canterlot High. They are ''most'' astounded to have this happen to them.]]
* In ''Fanfic/IncarnationOfLegends'', various Servants have been incarnated as humans in the [=DanMachi=] world for unknown reasons. One of the story's mysteries is finding out why. There's also the implication that Oryou is happy to be human, as she can now produce the "next Sakamoto", much to Ryoma's embarrassment.
* The ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}'' fandom has an affinity for turning SelfDemonstrating/{{Wheatley}} human, usually so some sort of physical contact can take place between him and any given story's love interest. In the more lemony explorations of this, Wheatley tends to find himself having new feelings or even "discovering the joys of the human body", so to speak. There's usually a reference to the Itch during these sequences, as that plot point has been repeatedly (mis?)interpreted as a sexual innuendo.
** ''Fanfic/BlueSky'' provides the most famous example of the Wheatley Turns Human narrative, and also showcases the popular trope of Wheatley's human form being [[InkSuitActor based off of his voice actor]], Creator/StephenMerchant.
** ''Fanfic/{{Portalborn}}'': In a variation, Daryn's use of the Wabbajack on Wheatley turns him into a high elf. He freaks out at first and thinks there's something on his head when it's actually his hair. This also happens to the Oracle Turret and [=GLaDOS=] herself.
** ''Fanfic/ThePunishment'': In something of a retroactive example, Wheatley was a human to begin with but had his memory wiped when he was turned into a core, and thus finds the process of being returned to his original form as disconcerting as he typically does in these stories.
* In ''Fanfic/ThisBites'', [[spoiler:this is what happens when the Going Merry consumes the Human-Human Fruit, Model: Child.]]
** Something similar is done in ''Fanfic/CobysChoice'', where [[spoiler: Iceberg allows Merry's avatar to permanently manifest by dismantling the ship and creating a heart totem she's bound to]].
* In ''Fanfic/WhatTheWaterGaveMe'', after Astrid officially declares her love, Hiccup (a merman in the story) ends up going through a chrysalis stage, emerging from it as fully human. It doesn't last. At the end [[spoiler:the trope is inverted when Astrid becomes a mermaid]].
* In the ''WesternAnimation/MyLifeAsATeenageRobot'' fanfic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2354468/1/Phoenix-Fire Phoenix Fire]]'', after suffering an accident so severe that she can't be repaired, Jenny has her mind transferred into [[spoiler:the body of Dr. Wakeman's brain-dead daughter]], thus becoming a human girl.
* In ''Fanfic/AGoddessComesToCall'', Mara breaks the cardinal rule of Hell by granting a wish without getting anything in exchange, and is turned into a human woman for the span of a human lifetime as punishment. Since this means she gets to be with Sylia, it also qualifies as an {{Unishment}}.
* In ''Fanfic/TheDarkLordsOfNerima'', [[spoiler:Beneda the youma is turned into a human girl with water from the Spring of Drowned Girl]].
* At the end of ''[[Fanfic/TheHeartTrilogy Heart of Fire]]'', [[{{Seers}} Kathryn]] tries to save the fire drake [[Film/TheHobbit Smaug]] from death with her magic. She manages to do that while unwittingly turning him into a human. In the sequel ''Heart of Ashes'', Smaug has to get by in the body of a human, a species he has looked down upon all his life. He eventually learns to magically [[{{Weredragon}} change between his true dragon form and the human form]].
* Happens to [[VideoGame/Persona5 Morgana]] in the ''VideoGame/Persona5[=/=]Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' fic ''Fanfic/VanishingAct''. Which leads to a ShipTease with Ann.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' fanfic ''Fanfic/ResurrectedMemories'', Ember Mclain gains a human form, effectively becoming a halfa.
* A somewhat-popular plot in the ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' fandom is turning Flame Princess into a human. The means vary, but it's always done with the express purpose of allowing her and Finn to have a relationship without the threat of Finn being burned alive or Flame Princess' elemental matrix destroying the world.
* In the ''RWBY'' fic ''Fanfic/{{Pawprints}}'', people who have both a human and animal form are called "Panthers". Some Panthers are born in animal form. These Panthers are considered dangerous beasts by the government and it's required that they be killed upon birth. Animal-born Panthers hide from humans to avoid being killed.
* ''Fanfic/AnAnthemForShelteredBays'': In the mermaid and harpy communities there's a potion that triggers a transformation into a human. Ymir's feathers peeled off and he's implied to have gain bone density, while Eren, Mikasa and Armin have to cut off their tails in order for their legs to grow.
* ''Fanfic/CardcaptorRad'': Because of a FreakyFridayFlip, Hot Shot the Franchise/{{Transformer|s}} and Rachel the human switch minds. Hot Shot thinks it's a chance to know humanity more acutely, but continually finds himself disenchanted; he hates how he has to breathe constantly, that you have to pay for things and that he can't take care of himself or even can't handle high levels of emotions in a human body. By the end, he's more than glad to be back in his own body.
* ''Fanfic/{{Phylactery}}'': The homunculi are bright back as true humans after being resurrected. Envy and Lust are very much not pleased when they discover this, while Pride adopts his new identity thoroughly enough to refuse to go by his old name anymore.
* ''Fanfic/StoriesOfTheVanishedMan'': In ''Reconstructing the Last Treasure of the Man'', Doctor Doofenshmirtz's latest -inator, the Anthropomorphinator, turns his dogs and Perry the Platypus into humans.

* ''Fanfic/RWBYEpicOfRemnant'': A combination of being exposed to Tiamat's Black Mud and Angra Mainyu trying to repair their bodies with his Reality Marble causes Gudako's Servants to become human. They still have their superhuman abilities, but they are not has powerful as they would normally be, they can't go into spiritual form, they actually have to eat and sleep, and they lost their immunity to non-magical attacks.
* In ''Fanfic/StormCloudsAndGreySkies'', the mermaid Leia suddenly turns human due to [[spoiler:a botched spell by the Witch Princess.]]
* This happens to an [[WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} Alpha Beowolf]] in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12783735/1/RWBY-A-Grimm-fate RWBY: A Grimm fate]]'' due to a combination of liquid Dust and petals from Ruby Rose's [[SuperSpeed Semblance]], and [[PainfulTransformation it is]] [[BodyHorror not pleasant]].

* This happens to an [[WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} Alpha Beowolf]] in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12783735/1/RWBY-A-Grimm-fate RWBY: A Grimm fate]]'' due to a combination of liquid Dust and petals from Ruby Rose's [[SuperSpeed Semblance]], and [[PainfulTransformation it is]] [[BodyHorror not pleasant]]. It is PlayedWith, however, since he is turned into a wolf [[LittleBitBeastly Faunus]], but Blake questions this, since while real Faunus have only '''one''' animal feature, he retains his ears, fangs, tongue, claws, and tail in Faunus form. Given that [[AnimalisticAbomination Grimm]] hunt down humans, he does not take his new form well. When found by [[BigGood Ozpin]], he is given the name Fenrir Lupus, and they later find out that if his new Aura is depleted, he will be able to turn back into his [[SavageWolf original body]].
* ''Fanfic/MyHostageNotYours'': In the third story, [[spoiler: the Tallest [[YouHaveFailedMe punish Tak for her failures]] by surgically transforming her into a human and dumping her on Earth.]]
* Downplayed but simultaneously [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructed]] and PlayedForDrama in the ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague''[=/=]''{{WesternAnimation/Castlevania}}'' crossover ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12849210/1/Lord-of-the-Castle Lord of the Castle]]''. The character in question, Alucard, is already [[HalfHumanHybrid half-human]] due to being a {{Dhampyr}} with his father being [[Characters/CastlevaniaDracula Dracula]], but an encounter with [[GreatGazoo Mr. Mxyzptlk]] ends up turning him completely human. In doing so, Alucard loses his regenerative powers (which served as his immune system) and ability to sustain on blood (essentially leaving him starved), which leads to his organs failing and needing urgent medical attention; thankfully, he is saved when Superman is able to trick Mr. Mzyxptlk into banishing himself, undoing all the damage done to the world and turning Alucard back into a dhampyr. Simultaneously, though, [[spoiler: him being human left [[EldritchLocation Castlevania]] without a lord, leading to [[TheBaroness Carmilla]], [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent Cornell]], [[SuccubiAndIncubi Magnus]], and [[SinisterMinister Shaft]] escaping from Hell, and with the aid of [[TheDragon Death]] (who takes after his game portrayal of Dracula's [[UndyingLoyalty loyal]] servant instead of the animation's portrayal of him as the GreaterScopeVillain), intend to kill Alucard and bring Dracula back to life]].
* In ''Fanfic/WhatTomorrowBrings'', [[spoiler:Aftran (a [[PuppeteerParasite Yeerk]] [[ShapeshifterModeLock turned]] humpback whale) is briefly sent to the splinter universe in a human form so she can talk to Cassie.]]
* ''WebComic/TheStoryOfAGardevoirThatBecameATrainer''': It's part of the premise. And she's not the only Pokémon turned human, either, though it's not widely known to most people.
