** ''Literature/{{Snuff}}'' examines this idea using the [[OurGoblinsAreDifferent goblins]], a sentient human race, as exemplar for FantasticRacism. The goblins are viewed as animals and vermin, and any indignity can be inflicted on them, including torture and slavery. It takes a real shift in attitudes to get them recognized as a sentient race deserving the same rights that are accorded to men, dwarfs and trolls.

* ''VideoGame/{{Azure Striker Gunvolt|Series}}'''s Copen and Dr. Kamizono will ''never'' view adepts as anything but monsters that deserved to be erased from the face of the Earth. This is very much spelled-out during GV's rematch with Copen, where the former argues for the latter that adepts are "humans" (which he responds by, scornfully, scoff at GV).

* ''Series/KamenRiderExAid: [[BigBad Dan Masamune/Kamen Rider Cronus]] refers to characters by the name of the Gashat they use, rather than their human/Bugster or Rider names; for example, he calls his own son "Dangerous Zombie" rather than "Kuroto" or even "Genm". The one exception is Ex-Aid, who he refers to by his Rider name upon acquiring Hyper Muteki, but switches to calling him by the name of the Gashat when Emu can no longer use it and is thus no longer a threat to him once more. Furthermore, Masamune refers to killing people as "discontinuing" them, as shown with his BondOneLiner to Lovelica, and his threat to Snipe and Nico.

* This is a strong motif of Mahito, a villain from ''Manga/JujutsuKaisen'' who was born from humanity's negative emotions towards other human beings. His power is Idle Transfiguration, which changes the shape of the soul and the body, which he uses to turn human beings into grotesque parodies of what they once were.
