* A recurring trope in the ''Anime/PrettyCure'' franchise, where most fairies have the capabilities of turning into humans of varying attractiveness. Special shout-outs go to [[Anime/YesPrecure5 Coco, Nuts,]] [[Anime/HeartcatchPrecure Coupe-sama,]] [[Anime/KiraKiraPrecureALaMode Julio/Pikario,]] and [[Anime/HugttoPrecure Hariham Harry]].

* Protagonists Saria and Lulune (or [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Salia and Rurune]]) in ''Literature/TheFruitOfEvolution'' are a [[KillerGorilla Kaiser Kong]] and an unnaturally badass donkey respectively in their original forms, but transform into stunningly beautiful human women after eating the titular PowerUpFood. Lulune rarely changes back to her original donkey form, but Saria casually flips from human to gorilla and back for comedy all the time.

* ''ComicBook/TheSimpsons[=/=]ComicBook/{{Futurama}} Infinitely Secret {{Crossover}} Crisis'': The crustacean alien Zoidberg gets dropped into a vat of nuclear waste. He emerges as a [[ShapeshiftingExcludesClothing fully nude]] human with blond hair. Needless to say, the nearby human women are drooling at him, which Zoidberg misinterprets to be a disgusted reaction, [[HumansAreUgly causing him to conclude that he had turned into something hideous.]]

* ''Anime/YesPrettyCure5'': The characters Coco and Nuts are two small and cute plushie-like fairies. To blend in with the human world, they turn into two young, handsome men, attracting the attention of many girls, including Nozomi and Komachi, two of the Precures.

** ''VideoGame/Persona4'': Teddie [[spoiler: gains a human body [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext after working out a lot]]]]. The characters are flabbergasted and the girls [[StupidSexyFlanders a little uncomfortable]]. He's still [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Teddie]], though, so [[CasanovaWannabe few women give him the time of day]].

* ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'': This is a plot point during ''Spring Broken''. In order to win a bet with Verosika that the I.M.P. can kill more people than she and her succubi have sex with, they have Loona, a hellhound, use her human disguise to seduce targets and lure them away to be assassinated. The trouble is, the succubi ''also'' have incredibly attractive human forms and are easily able to seduce numerous humans.

[[StatusQuoIsGod If the transformation is only temporary,]] it allows for a high-profile {{Cameo}}.

* ComicBook/{{Mystique}} often takes the form of a human to allure men, as her true blue-skinned form is often met with fear or disgust by them.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Beowulf|2007}}'': While we never get a clear look at Grendel's mother in her true form, she appears to be a monstrous golden serpent with limbs. In human form, she appears as a nubile young woman [[VaporWear wearing only a constantly-shifting gold liquid]] who is able to seduce both Beowulf and [[spoiler:Hrothgar]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/Shrek2,'' Shrek takes a magic potion that transforms him into a human. The maids who revive him after he passes out find him very attractive (as pictured above), and are disappointed to learn that he already has a wife. It is justified since one of the "Happily Ever After" Potion's effects is to beautify the drinker. When Donkey drank it he became a magnificent white stallion.

-->'''Angel''': They were so supposed to fix that.

** ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'': In "The Man Trap" has the "salt vampire" of planet M-113 which really looks like a sort of yeti like, green, sucker-faced creature. However it lures it's victims to their deaths by being [[AppearanceIsInTheEyeOfTheBeholder perceived as the most attractive person they can think of]] so more most of the male Enterprise crew this is as a lovely young woman, though for Doctor [=McCoy=] it looks like Nancy Crater a woman he dated 12 years prior seemingly unaged and for Kirk as Nancy as the age he expected her to be - an attractive older woman as that was what he'd expected to see. Uhura sees it as an attractive male crewmate, and others see it as a crewmate it killed so it could sneak aboard the Enterprise.
** ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'': Has the much more friendly Salia the Allasomorph, who is revealed to be a shapechanger who has taken the form of a teenage girl who Wesley falls in love with. Her aide Anya is less friendly and mostly appears an a stoic older woman. Allasomorph's true form is a [[EnergyBeings pearly somewhat gel like amorphous energy being]] - very beautiful to look at astatically but not really humanoid, Wesley is amazed by her true form and very much implied to still love her that way.

%%* In ''LightNovel/RestaurantToAnotherWorld'' two dragons assume human forms overtly drawn for fanservice.

* ''Fanfic/TheBridge'': When Equestrians and Kaiju enter the Equestria Girls world, the [[HumanityEnsues human forms]] a few of them wind up very attractive. Adagio and Lea both [[StatuesqueStunner become tall and shapely]] while Godzilla, while roughed looking and scarred, does get a [[HeroicBuild tough and muscular physiques]]. [[spoiler: Subverted with Princess Celestia, who should have become an attractive older woman, but instead became a short teenager due to outside interference]]. Averted with others however, Monster X being remarked as looking decidedly average with Megalon as [[BigFun portly]].
