* ''Fanfic/PrimalSource'': There are some things about human biology/Callum that leave Sol Regem thoroughly confused (namely their having to eat more regularly than dragons).

* ''Animation/{{Lamput}}'': The main character, a BlobMonster, is shown to have a very small skeleton in a couple episodes, yet can shrink smaller than that skeleton with no problem.

* Venom in ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/16442990/chapters/38502653 The Chocolate Shortage]]'' needs chocolate the way a normal person needs fresh fruits. After a contamination leaves the west coast almost out of chocolate for a month, Eddie's left pale and clammy with bloodshot eyes and constant sweating. Eventually it gets to the point he tries locking himself in his apartment to keep himself from eating everyone around him.
* ''Fanfic/TheChroniclesOfKaraiGettingHerShitTogether'': While much of Karai's human appearance is left in-tact from the waist-up, she has various quirks that highlight her new snake-mutant body. She very quickly grows accustomed to getting around without legs, she prefers sleeping in dark cramped spaces (like under beds instead of on them), she can get around in the winter and autumn chill perfectly fine despite being cold-blooded (just like the turtles) and while she can eat human food perfectly fine, she much prefers hunting live-animals and she only needs to feed once a week.



* ''Fanfic/AMonstersNature'':
** An examination of Brandon affirms that some elements of his DNA defy categorisation by Earth science, although scientists speculate he might be able to breed with humans.
** After Brandon spends around three weeks being constantly gassed into unconsciousness and nearly starves to death, he quickly regains most of his lost weight by gorging himself on raw meat and other protein-rich foods.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Fanfic/LittleHandsBigAttitude'': Several different aliens with varrying degrees of oddity show up.
** The FunnyAnimal aliens, like Sonic or Tails, are by far the most normal by human standards, as they can eat human food, live in Earth's atmosphere and get infected by regular diseases. However, supowernatural abilities are very common in their kind and they have faster development rates than the humans, both mentally and physically. Maddie only has Sonic's testimony of his early childhood and her own knowledge as a veterinarian to try and guess at which rate Obsidian will develop. By three months old he's already walking a little.
** [[spoiler:Kaia]]'s species, as of yet unnamed in-story (they're basically Chao), are water-based transparent entities that "evolve like Franchise/{{Pokemon}}" - as in, they suddenly transform to their next stage of development. In addition, even though they're mostly transparent, the food they eat suddenly vanishes. On top of all this, [[spoiler:Kaia]] enters hibernation during the winter months.
** Knuckles mentions a species named Venflerk. They are a kind of predator that lives in a low-oxygen (or maybe even ''no''-oxygen) atmosphere, and they have a roar so loud it causes ''earthquakes''. He assures everyone that Earth's oxygen levels are fatal to them.

* ''FanFic/TheBridge'': Grand King Ghidorah might look like a three headed version of a dragon found on Equestria or ancient Terra, albeit ''much'' larger, but it's only skin deep. None of his three heads have a brain, he doesn't need to eat, sleep, or drink and can survive in a vacuum, his "blood" is a molten, golden hued ichor, and the only thing he has resembling an internal organ is a crystalline core in his chest that acts like a heart and brain while housing the souls of all those he's ever killed.

* ''Crazy Irken and ?'' (''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim''-based crossover fic anthology by Creator/DRissing and Creator/{{nightmaster000}}. [[note]]Unable to link due to violating Content Policy, but it can be found on their Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn pages.[[/note]]):
** In most chapters, it's shown that Zim (and presumably all Irken males) has barbs on his penis for no apparent reason.
** In the ''WesternAnimation/TheProudFamily'' chapter, Zim’s semen has a chemical effect on Penny that essentially drugs her, leaving her in a disoriented state that’s highly vulnerable to suggestion, allowing Zim to completely unintentionally hypnotize her. Nothing like this ever came up in previous chapters, though that can be justified by the fact that each chapter is set in an AlternateUniverse from each other.

** On one occasion, author James White complained that whenever he came up with an idea for a particularly alien alien it "promptly got sick and ended up in Sector General".
