* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles'': A series-wide example is the various incarnations of Ontos, one of the three cores in the Trinity Processor. Whereas the Logos core is masculine and manifests himself as [[TallDarkAndSnarky Malos]], and the Pneuma core is feminine and manifests herself as [[RoseHairedSweetie Pyra]]/[[{{Tsundere}} Mythra]], the Ontos core is the gender-neutral core. This is best demonstrated in how they manifest throughout the series: their first incarnation is [[AgentPeacock Alvis]], an androgynous male with effeminate mannerisms and a high voice for a male; [[OmnicidalManiac Alpha]], who has the same appearance and pronouns as Alvis, but is perfectly fine possessing a humanoid female for his ends; and [[{{Bifauxnen}} A]], who has a female appearance but is referred to as "they/them".

** The ''Book of Erotic Fantasy'', an [[UsefulNotes/D20System Open Game License]] {{splat}} adding rules for sex to ''Dungeons & Dragons'', has the deity of passion and lust as a hermaphrodite.

* The angel that appears in the anime of ''Manga/BlackButler'' is capable of changing sex. So what appears to be two separate characters [[spoiler:Angela and Ash]] are actually the same angel's male and female forms. The angel also is against the concept of beings being divided into separate genders, and goes so far as to fuse [[spoiler:Ciel's parents]] together as some manner of constructed being for this purpose.

* ''Literature/{{Nightside}}'': One book features a self-fertilizing artificial HumanoidAbomination created by DoctorFrankenstein.

* ''WesternAnimation/ThePrinceOfEgypt'' portrays God as the burning bush with a primarily male voice (who's played by Val Kilmer, the same actor as Moses, possibly symbolizing how God is speaking through him rather than to him) with a whispery female voice layered into it to invoke this. The creators also intended to have a child's voice in there as well until it got nixed in production for sounding way more demonic than they intended.

** In ''Literature/TurnCoat'', after losing a CurbStompBattle to a skinwalker and wondering whether he should use "he" when talking about it, Harry asks Bob for the correct pronoun. Bob tells him that the question is irrelevant since the shapeshifter has no definitive gender, and afterwards Harry uses "it". Despite the genderless pronoun being justified ItIsDehumanizing is still in effect because the skinwalker is lacking in any sort of humanity or redeeming qualities.

* ''Literature/{{Nightside}}'': One book features a self-fertilizing artificial HumanoidAbomination created by Dr. Frankenstein.

* Gozer the Gozerian, the Sumerian god from ''Film/Ghostbusters1984'', in the final confrontation. The boys are surprised that they're a "girl", but clearly they are both.

* ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTensei'':

* Both [[spoiler:[[LivingWeapon Shin]] and the god who created them]] in ''Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid'' have genders that can best be described as "Schrodinger's cat". Neither of them appears to have a specific gender identity and their physical sex changes every time they try to check.

* [[spoiler:[[LivingWeapon The Holy Sword]]]] from ''Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid'' is unsure of their own gender when asked and their physical sex changes every time they try to check.

* ''VideoGame/{{Catherine}}: The UpdatedReRelease introduces [[spoiler:Rin or Qatherine, who looks like a cute girl, but is revealed to actually be a crossdressing boy, much to Vincent's [[UnsettlingGenderReveal shock]] (though he can get over this). Except that's still only ''half-true''. Rin ''actually'' [[AngelicAliens belongs to an alien species that humans consider angels and has only shapeshifted into human form to help save those trapped in nightmares]].

* The [[Myth/HittiteMythology Hittite sun goddess]] is usualy conceptualised as female; however she is also "the mother and father of the gods" and the sun si thought to be male during the day in Hittite theology. She was syncretised with several ostensibly male solar deities across Anatolia.

* ''ARG/TheNoedolekcinArchives'': Kirk Odd is an extraterrestrial being and is confirmed by WordOfGay to be [[https://twitter.com/MK70016/status/1645965503884607488 genderfluid]].[[invoked]]

* ''ARG/TheNoedoleckinArchives'': Kirk Odd is an extraterrestrial being and is confirmed by WordOfGay to be [[https://twitter.com/MK70016/status/1645965503884607488 genderfluid]].[[invoked]]

* The Ghost of Christmas Past from ''Literature/AChristmasCarol''. In most adaptations, it's made either a woman or a small child (of either gender), but the book never establishes ''what'' it is, in any sense of the word. Indeed, it shifts and flickers in appearance constantly in the book, not just in terms of gender but also growing and losing body parts at random.

* Flinx is perplexed by the (lack of) gender or familial relationships among the furcots in ''Mid-Flinx'' of ''Literature/HumanxCommonwealth'', as Teal insists that they're not male, not female, and the young ones aren't offspring of the adult. [[spoiler: In this case, it's because furcots are asexual {{Planimal}}s "born" by budding from They-Who-Keep trees, as revealed in the previous novel ''Midworld''.]]

* Ashura, the god of war from ''Manga/RGVeda'', is stated to have NoBiologicalSex. This is justified as it's the result of a curse that will keep the Ashura clan from continuing, and they're actually treated as both male and female in the series. The English dub of the OVA series completely glossed over this and just called Ashura "Princess" leading to confusion in the west for a long time until the rest of the manga was translated.
* Apos from ''Anime/{{Mnemosyne}}'', the Guardian of Yggdrasil, is an intersexed man (that is to say, identifies as male), and it's suggested that he has both functioning sets of genitalia, given that he qualifies as both male and female according to the laws of magic in that world.
* The goddess Kanzeon Bosatsu from ''Manga/{{Saiyuki}}'' is a female-presenting hermaphrodite, as noted by the author in a between-chapters illustration.

* The angel that appears in the anime of ''Manga/BlackButler'' is capable of changing sex. So what appears to be two separate characters [[spoiler:Angela and Ash]] are actually the same angel's male and female forms. The angel also is against the concept of beings being divided into separate genders, and goes so far as to fuse [[spoiler:Ciel's parents]] together as some manner of constructed being for this purpose.
* Yubel from ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'' is a dragon spirit who has a body divided into a masculine half (with pronounced muscles, a flat chest, and a taloned foot) and a feminine half (breast tissue and a foot with what looks like a [[HighHeeledFeet natural stiletto heel]]). They also alternate between a high-pitched feminine voice and a deeper masculine voice before settling on one that fits androgynously in the middle. (The dub ignored this and made them completely female - probably [[GetBackInTheCloset so that their romance with the main character wouldn't come off as gay]].)

* In ''ComicBook/{{Miracleman}}'', the alien Warpsmiths are multi-dimensional, and ultimately genderless beings, who have sex in ways that defy anything resembling biology on Earth.
* ''ComicBook/TheMightyThor'': The third [[Characters/MarvelComicsLoki Loki]] (God of Mischief, Chaos and Stories) can change their apparent gender at will. Their shapeshifting powers (unlike the first Loki's) are limited to aspects of their own personality, the very fact that they can do these forms shows that they're genderqueer. They also have the tendency to [[TheTease flirt]] indiscriminately.

* {{Satan}} in ''Film/ThePassionOfTheChrist'' is portrayed by a woman with a [[BaldOfEvil shaved head]] and a voice altered to sound more masculine in post-production.
%%* Creator/TildaSwinton played the ArchangelGabriel in ''Film/Constantine2005''. %%Example needs context to make sense on its own.

* Dr Frank N. Furter from ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow'' is a male alien who likes to wear women's lingerie and sleeps with many partners regardless of gender. Being "a sweet transvestite from transsexual Transylvania" doesn't narrow it down much.

* In ''Literature/{{Konosuba}}'' Vanir makes the claim that demons are genderless beings. At least in Vanir's case he's a spirit tethered to a mask, and he's able to shapeshift his projected body at will. He also shows no hang ups with possessing the bodies of female adventurers if it suits his purposes. [[spoiler:In one amusing incident he transforms into the form of a succubus, and participates in a beauty contest. The men in the crowd are understandably disturbed when he reveals his true identity to them.]]
* ''Literature/NoGameNoLife'' has Tet, the god of games (and, being the only surviving god, the de facto ruler of Disboard), who appears in the form of a pink-haired, pink-clothed, ambiguously-gendered child.
* In ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'', one of the faces of the Faith of the Seven, called The Stranger, is neither male nor female and signifies death.

* Larry Niven's ''Literature/TheMagicGoesAway''. Roze-Kattee, the God of Love and Madness, is a hermaphrodite with a hideous appearance: a humanoid covered with shaggy, coarse hair, blazing yellow-white eyes brighter than daylight and pointed ears.
* In ''Franchise/TheDarkTower'', the demon who had sex with Roland in the first book and raped Susannah in the third book could change sexes.
%%* ''Literature/TheLeftHandOfDarkness'' is set on a planet where everyone is this. The only normatively-sexed character through almost all of the book is the narrator. %%Example needs context to make sense on its own.
* In ''Literature/GoodOmens'', it is stated that angels and demons are normally sexless, unless they really want not to be. [[HoYay Both otherworldly protagonists take the form of human males, though.]]
* In ''Literature/OperationChaos'', succubi (female demons that seduce men) and incubi (male demons that seduce women) are actually a single kind of demon that changes its form according to whom it is attempting to seduce.
* In ''Literature/{{Neverwhere}}'' the angels are genderless, and are referred to as "it". ItIsDehumanizing is averted, however, as the pronoun is applied to one angel by another angel, who uses it in a perfectly matter-of-fact way. Creator/NeilGaiman said in the commentary of the TV series that they wanted an androgynous looking actor or actress to play Islington but they couldn't find one and ended up settling for Creator/PeterCapaldi. The BBC Radio adaptation also gave up and went with Creator/BenedictCumberbatch, whose deep voice could never be anything but male. Despite this, characters still refer to Islington as "it".

* ''Literature/TheReynardCycle'': In Carcosa, the robotic Lotos seller's voice is described as being neither male nor female.
* Mallory from ''Literature/JacobsLadderTrilogy'' exhibits physical traits of both men and women and the narration goes to great lengths to avoid gendered pronouns. This is possibly due to Mallory having [[spoiler: a whole bunch of dead people]] rattling around inside the brain.

* Creator/SimonRGreen has used a number of these in his urban fantasy series, including:
** ''Literature/ForestKingdom'': At one point in the ''Hawk & Fisher'' spinoff series book 3 (''The God Killer''), Hawk and Fisher come face to face with an androgynous demon called up by decadent young nobles. Unfortunately for its summoners, it started draining their lifeforce to sustain itself, until the title characters deactivated the spell and sent it back to where it came from.
** ''Literature/{{Nightside}}'': One book features a self-fertilizing artificial HumanoidAbomination created by Dr. Frankenstein.
** ''Literature/SecretHistories'': Features the omnisexualized Lady Faire, also created by Dr. Frankenstein, who had a serious kinky streak in the Greenverse.
* Flinx is perplexed by the (lack of) gender or familial relationships among the furcots in ''[[Literature/HumanxCommonwealth Mid-Flinx]]'', as Teal insists that they're not male, not female, and the young ones aren't offspring of the adult. [[spoiler: In this case, it's because furcots are asexual {{Planimal}}s "born" by budding from They-Who-Keep trees, as revealed in the previous novel ''Midworld''.]]
* Referenced in Creator/PoulAnderson's ''Literature/TimePatrol'' novel, ''The Shield of Time''. Time Patrol agent Manse Everard [[GodGuise masquerades as an angel]] to warn a Medieval knight against a choice that would cause a BadFuture. The knight suspects something fishy is up. As was common in those days, the knight believes angels are sexless beings, so he [[RightForTheWrongReasons proves]] Manse isn't an angel by grabbing his groin.

* ''Series/GameOfThrones'': The Seven Gods consist of a male trinity (Father, Warrior, Smith), a female trinity (Mother, Maiden, Crone), and the Stranger (Death) who is neither.
* The Metrons in the ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' episode [[Recap/StarTrekS1E18Arena "Arena"]] have an androgynous appearance and wear a shimmering dress-like garment.
* The angels in ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' are genderless, and while they take human vessels, the gender of the vessel seems unimportant to most angels.
* Some of the demons in the ''Franchise/{{Buffyverse}}'' are of ambiguous gender, though most of them are not. One episode of ''Series/{{Angel}}'' has the gang meet Lorne's family and mistakenly assume his mother is a male, as she has a deep voice and full beard (and is played by a man).

* ''TabletopGame/MageTheAwakening'': Having {{ascend|ToAHigherPlaneOfExistence}}ed to godlike archetypes of tyranny and domination, the Exarchs no longer have genders, and are referred to with alternating pronouns. The one exception is the Father, who presents himself as the ultimate patriarch.
* ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'': [[http://magic.wizards.com/story/planeswalkers/ashiok Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver]] is a {{P|restigiousPlayerTitle}}laneswalker and HumanoidAbomination who specializes in bringing people's worst nightmares to life. Ashiok is confirmed by WordOfGod to be of AmbiguousGender.

* The Despair Embodied in ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry2'' is able to freely shapeshift between a male and female form, depending on its weapon of choice; the male uses a FlamingSword, while the female brandishes a whip.
* ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTensei'':
** {{Satan}} in the art used until ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIVApocalypse'' has clearly visible breasts, despite otherwise being masculine.
** ''VideoGame/Persona3'': The [[FinalBoss Nyx Avatar]]. [[spoiler:It is a CosmicEntity who is referred as female and 'mother' multiple times in the game, but both of its human incarnation, Pharos and Ryoji, were male. When it shows up as the final boss, it's a quite androgynous being, with Ryoji's head and chest attached to a feminine looking body and outfit.]]
%%* In ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork'', Serenade.EXE, an otherwise normal Net Navi, looks the part, likely to emphasis their "holy/angelic" feature (and not to mention their vast powers). Greatly enhanced in the manga adaptation. %%Example needs context to make sense on its own -- "Looks the part" doesn't say anything on its own.

* Eden in ''VideoGame/TheBindingOfIsaac'', an alter-ego of the eponymous Isaac who gets randomly generated stats each time, and represents purity and possibility. While most of Isaac's alter-egos have a gender (some male, some female), Eden is explicitly stated to be genderless.
* Spirits and demons in ''Franchise/DragonAge'' don't really have genders. In particular, Desire Demons take on a [[HotAsHell distinctly feminine]] form, but this is only to appeal to potential victims, and two such demons are referred to with male pronouns.

* Zariel in ''VideoGame/{{Brawlhalla}}'' is an angel from Elysium who outright states on their bio "Mortal or angel, male or female – I am above such primitive distinctions.” And they look the part with an androgynous look that remains even in their alternate skins.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Hades}}'', most of the Greek gods identify as either male or female, but [[PrimordialChaos Chaos]] is the notable exception. Chaos has a [[BodyHorror bizarre]] and androgynous appearance, speaks with [[VoiceOfTheLegion a masculine and feminine voice simultaneously]], and is referred to using they/them pronouns. Nyx calls them both her mother and her father.

* ''VideoGame/{{Control}}'', with its plot revolving around TheMenInBlack running an ArtifactCollectionAgency, naturally features a good number of [[EldritchAbomination cosmic horrors from beyond our reality]], [[DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu including some friendly ones]]; and some of these cosmic horrors, like [[MysteriousBacker The Board]] and [[WildCard FORMER]], explicitly or implicitly exist outside the concept of sex and gender simply because of [[YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm how incomprehensible they are]]. Interestingly, some other eldritch presences in the game are {{aver|tedTrope}}sions; for example, another of them - [[EnigmaticEmpoweringEntity Polaris]] - is always referred to as female.
* The Ultarians from ''VideoGame/CthulhuSavesTheWorld'' are green-furred felinoid aliens who are described by Paws, one of their members, as each having their own gender. Paws also tells Cthulhu's party that, for convenience, they can refer to him in particular as, well, "he".

%%* The Soulthirster, ''Webcomic/ExterminatusNow's'' equivalent of Slaanesh. %%Example needs context to make sense on its own.
%%-->'''The Hound:''' [[http://exterminatusnow.co.uk/2006-08-04/comic/four-of-a-kind/divinities-must-wash-hands/ Do you think he puts the toilet seat up or down?]]

* Ghouls in ''Webcomic/BloodyUrban'' have physical sexes but a much looser concept of gender than humans, and WordOfGod says they also have reproductive organs similar to those of the spotted hyena. [[GenderBlenderName Shaz]], the only ghoul who has appeared in the comics so far, is extremely androgynous and alternates between male and female pronouns.
%%* ''Webcomic/ReversedStar'' is stated to have aliens that fit this trope. %%Example needs context to make sense on its own.
* In Creator/AGnosis' comics on Myth/ClassicalMythology, the god Dionysos has a non-binary gender identity and alternates between masculine and feminine clothing. A man in ''Anthesteria'' [[AngelUnaware unwittingly]] calls Dionysos a CreepyCrossdresser and gets a hard lesson in why one doesn't insult gods.

* ''{{Webcomic/Phantomarine}}'': While Cheth is primarily referred to as male, he rarely restricts himself to a single gender and will wear any soul he pleases.
* ''Webcomic/KillSixBillionDemons'':
** While most lesser deities are associated with a specific gender, TopGod '''[-Yisun-]''' is identified interchangeably with any, all, and no gender. Presumably, comprising the totality of everything that exists, everything that does not exist, and everything else puts one beyond such concerns.
** Angels are completely inhuman and genderless in their true forms in the void, but interacting with mortals often cause them to develop a preference for a gender, which will in turn change their void form to reflect that. The more traditionalist angels consider this unnatural and profane, and encourage their kind to remain genderless. This is rather loaded with hypocricy and misoginy, however, as the issue of gender only seem to come up when an angel identifies as female; Even the most traditionalist angel 2 Michael refers to himself by male pronouns, and refers to the angels as a "brotherhood".
* ''Webcomic/TrueVillains'': The Gods are genderless, but it's common practice to refer to a god using the speaker's own gender, as it's "more personal".

* Stevonnie from ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'': [[spoiler: Being a [[ItMakesSenseInContext combination of a male human/Gem Steven and a human female Connie]]]], Stevonnie is extremely attractive to both male and female characters. As Garnet states, Stevonnie is not [[spoiler: "one person" or "two people", but "an experience",]] preserving the ambiguity of Stevonnie's gender.

* Apos from ''Anime/{{Mnemosyne}}'', the Guardian of Yggdrasil. He's actually an intersexed man (that is to say, identifies as male), and it's suggested that he has both functioning sets of genitalia, given that he qualifies as both male and female according to the laws of magic in that world.

* Envy the shapeshifting homunculus from ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist''. Androgynous to the point where they are always posed in ways that make it essentially impossible to tell if they have breasts. Their true form is a tiny slug thing, so they appear to be truly genderless. Similarly applies for Truth, who is often humanoid but a featureless version of the person talking to it, so its gender is impossible to discern.

* Yubel from ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'' is a dragon spirit who has a body divided into a masculine half (with pronounced muscles, a flat chest, and a taloned foot) and a feminine half (breast tissue and a foot with what looks like a natural stiletto heel). They also alternate between a high-pitched feminine voice and a deeper masculine voice before settling on one that fits androgynously in the middle. (The dub ignored this and made them completely female - probably [[GetBackInTheCloset so that their romance with the main character wouldn't come off as gay]].)
* Crimvael, better [[OnlyKnownByHisNickname known as Crim to everyone]], of ''Manga/InterspeciesReviewers'' is a {{hermaphrodite}} angel whose body is so androgynous that he has to present as male to keep his LoveableSexManiac friends off of him.

* Desire from ''ComicBook/TheSandman1989''. Because they are the personification of {{lust}}, Desire can be a man, woman, or both, depending on whom the viewer finds the most attractive.

* ''ComicBook/TheMightyThor'': The third [[Characters/MarvelComicsLoki Loki]] (God of Mischief, Chaos and Stories) can change their apparent gender at will. They are this trope because their shapeshifting powers (unlike the first Loki's) are limited to aspects of their own personality, the very fact that they can do these forms shows that they're genderqueer. They also have the tendency to [[TheTease flirt]] indiscriminately.

* Creator/TildaSwinton played the ArchangelGabriel in ''Film/Constantine2005''.

* ''Literature/TheLeftHandOfDarkness'' is set on a planet where everyone is this. The only normatively-sexed character through almost all of the book is the narrator.

* In ''Literature/{{Neverwhere}}'' the angels are genderless, and are referred to as "it". ItIsDehumanizing is averted, however, as the pronoun is applied to one angel by another angel, who uses it in a perfectly matter-of-fact way.
** Creator/NeilGaiman said in the commentary of the TV series that they want an androgynous looking actor or actress to play Islington but they couldn't find one and ended up settling for Creator/PeterCapaldi.
** The BBC Radio adaptation also gave up and went with Creator/BenedictCumberbatch, whose deep voice could never be anything but male. Despite this, characters still refer to Islington as "it".

** This gets lampshaded in ''Literature/TurnCoat''; after losing a CurbStompBattle to a skinwalker and wondering whether he should use "he" when talking about it, Harry asks Bob for the correct pronoun. Bob tells him that the question is irrelevant since the shapeshifter has no definitive gender, and afterwards Harry uses "it". Despite the genderless pronoun being justified ItIsDehumanizing is still in effect because the skinwalker is lacking in any sort of humanity or redeeming qualities.

* ''Literature/TalesFromNetheredge'' has [[spoiler:Jewel, a sun god who lives pleasurably in the Harem as a HighClassSexWorker and presents as a sexually ambiguous person as part of his[[note]]he doesn't have a preference for specific pronouns, but most characters settle on "he/him"[[/note]] appeal .]]

* The Metrons in the ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' episode [[Recap/StarTrekS1E18Arena "Arena"]] were like this; they had an androgynous appearance and wore a shimmering dress-like garment.

* Angels and demons in Christianity are sometimes considered to be sexless because they don't reproduce in Heaven or Hell and so would not need to be male or female. The Bible always refers to them as male, but at least for angels, this is considered to be for similar reasons as God, as mentioned above. "The sons of god," who are often but not always interpreted to be angels [[note]] The other common interpretation is that it's referring to Seth's lineage[[/note]], sired the {{Nephilim}}, which some say is evidence that at least some of them are actually male, or were at the time capable of "shapeshifting" the necessary equipment when taking human form. It's generally not considered a important issue in Christianity, but is still debated. Androgynous depictions of angels were also popular in medieval art, a phenomenon sometimes attributed to an association between angels and court eunuchs in UsefulNotes/{{Byzantine|Empire}} culture (in an inversion of EunuchsAreEvil--though the straight version of that trope also existed alongside the more angelic and pure perceptions of eunuchs).

* Medieval legends had devils called [[SuccubiAndIncubi succubi]] who raped men in their sleep, causing NocturnalEmission, and incubi who raped women, which could result in pregnancy. However, under a belief that [[EvilIsSterile demons could not create life]], later versions suggested that the two demons were actually the same thing -- succubi had sex with men, collecting their semen, then changed sex to become incubi, using that human semen when they had sex with women. Sometimes the semen was even altered by demonic contact, so that offspring from encounters between women and incubi would be demonic too.

* In the original telling of ''Literature/InannasDescentToTheNetherworld'', two androgynous creatures are used to rescue Inanna from her sister Ereshkigal, the goddess of death, (who is angry with her for killing her first husband [[note]] Why he wouldn't be down in TheUnderworld with his wife, and therefore what the problem is, [[FridgeLogic is never explained]]. [[/note]]). In the Babylonian version (where she is known as Ishtar), the two creatures are merged into one {{Hermaphrodite}} being, which Ereshkigal cannot comprehend.

** The ''Book of Erotic Fantasy'', a much-maligned [[UsefulNotes/D20System Open Game License]] {{splat}} adding rules for sex to ''Dungeons & Dragons'', has the deity of passion and lust as a hermaphrodite.
** ''Magazine/{{Dragon}}'' magazine #24 "Choir Practice at the First Church of LawfulEvil (Orthodox): The ramifications of alignment". Several deities fit this trope: Cyrullia, who appears as a beautiful hemaphrodite, Slarsken Obel who appears as a man most of the time but as a women in matriarchal societies, and Demyuritas, who appears as a stunningly beautiful youth who can be either male or female.

* ''TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}'': Luna, the main GodOfTheMoon. Female pronouns are used to refer to her, but given that she is the patron of VoluntaryShapeshifting and of [[TricksterGod Tricksters]], she appears as male and female equally often (sometimes with aspects of both -- she has appeared before as a heavily pregnant young man).

* ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'': [[http://magic.wizards.com/story/planeswalkers/ashiok Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver]] a [[PrestigiousPlayerTitle Planeswalker]] and HumanoidAbomination who specializes in bringing people's worst nightmares to life. Ashiok is confirmed by WordOfGod to be of AmbiguousGender.

** In the original German/Austrian production, Death, per the likes of Uwe Kröger and Máté Kamarás, is this trope coupled with MysticalWhiteHair.

** Played completely straight with the Creator/TakarazukaRevue productions, in which all characters - including Death - are played by actresses. Asaka Manato's Death costume is also HellBentForLeather, probably inspired by the aforementioned change.

* {{Satan}} in the art in the ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTensei'' series used until ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIVApocalypse'' has clearly visible breasts, despite otherwise being masculine.

* In ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork'', Serenade.EXE, an otherwise normal Net Navi, looks the part, likely to emphasis their "holy/angelic" feature (and not to mention their vast powers). Greatly enhanced in the manga adaptation.

** Among the Daedric Princes, the et'Ada ("original spirits") who did not participate in the creation of Mundus, the mortal realm, several are known to change gender in different appearances. Boethiah, the Daedric Prince of Plots, has appeared variously as male or female. Even his/her followers will sometimes refer to Boethiah with [[PronounTrouble different pronouns in the same sentence]]. Mephala, a Daedric Prince whose sphere is obscured to mortals but is associated with manipulation and lies, is said to be a hermaphrodite, but is typically referred to as female. Hermaeus Mora, the Daedric Prince of Knowledge (specializing in ''[[TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow eldritch]]'' knowledge), doesn't even ''try'' to [[EldritchAbomination resemble anything with a gender]] (although generally speaks with a [[EvilSoundsDeep deep male voice]]).

** The Cloud of Darkness from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIII'' takes on an [[{{Stripperiffic}} unmistakably feminine]] form, but "she" refers to "herself" using the RoyalWe, and as an [[EldritchAbomination undying personification of the Void]] likely has no actual gender or sex. More prominent in her ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'' appearance, where in [[VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy2015 the sequel game]] exclusively calls the Cloud [[ItIsDehumanizing "it"]].

** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'' features the pixies of ''Shadowbringers'' in this way. All of them are androgynous in appearance, and all use they/them pronouns. Feo Ul, the first of the fae that the PlayerCharacter meets, is referred to only in this manner for the entire game. This even extends to Titania, King of the Fairies. Despite wearing a long flowery dress and being distinctly more feminine in appearance, Titania is also referred to only with they/them pronouns.

* In ''VideoGame/Mother3'', the Magypsies, whose only "life goal" is protecting the Seven Needles [[spoiler: and who die when the Needle they must protect is pulled off]], are described in-game as neither men nor women.

* In ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'', extraterrestrial Pokémon Deoxys, Jirachi, Solrock, Lunatone, Staryu and Starmie are genderless.
** But it is ''subverted'' by Cleffa's and Elgyem's evolutionary line.
** Generally played straight with most [[OlympusMons legendary Pokemon]].

* ''VideoGame/{{Control}}'', with its plot revolving around TheMenInBlack running an ArtifactCollectionAgency, naturally features a good number of [[EldritchAbomination cosmic horrors from beyond our reality]], [[DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu including some friendly ones]]; and some of these cosmic horrors, like [[MysteriousBacker The Board]] and [[WildCard FORMER]], explicitly or implicitly exist outside the concept of sex and gender simply because of [[YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm how incomprehensible they are]]. Interestingly, some other eldritch presences in the game are [[AvertedTrope aversions]]; for example, another of them - [[EnigmaticEmpoweringEntity Polaris]] - is always referred to as female.

* The Soulthirster, ''Webcomic/ExterminatusNow's'' equivalent of Slaanesh.
-->'''The Hound:''' [[http://exterminatusnow.co.uk/2006-08-04/comic/four-of-a-kind/divinities-must-wash-hands/ Do you think he puts the toilet seat up or down?]]

* WordOfGod confirms that Grimm, the cat-spirit that possesses Catharine in ''Webcomic/SisterClaire'' only has a gender when it is possessing someone and should be called "Them" rather than "[[ItIsDehumanizing It]]" when by themselves. Also makes sense with later revelations that show that Grimm is an amalgamation of [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Shards]] that were once abused children, so Grimm really is a "them."

%%* ''Webcomic/ReversedStar'' is stated to have aliens that fit this trope.

** While most lesser deities are associated with a specific gender, TopGod [[AC:Yisun]] is identified interchangeably with any, all, and no gender. Presumably, comprising the totality of everything that exists, everything that does not exist, and everything else puts one beyond such concerns.

[[folder:Web Video]]
* Parodied by ''WebVideo/ContraPoints'' in her video "Gender Critical": when presenting the common TERF talking point of 'abolish gender roles', she immediately dresses the part ("No nails, no makeup, I'm wearing a nice little gender-neutral robe..." in her words), but keeps finding things that are commonly coded as masculine or feminine about herself (long hair, her voice and posturing, among others), and her attempts to rectify those eventually get the better of her and she [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere goes straight back to the suffragette look she sported beforehand]].

* ''WesternAnimation/CowAndChicken'' and ''WesternAnimation/IAmWeasel'': [[{{Satan}} Red Guy]]. In spades. Considering he's a [[NewJobAsThePlotDemands jack-of-all-trades]], he can pull any kind of role of either gender... and not only that, whenever he plays a female, he clearly has a bust.

* Yivo the interdimensional abomination from ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}''. Shkle even uses shkler own neopronouns.

* Aleister Crowley of ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'' is a HistoricalDomainCharacter famous for being an occultist, a ceremonial magician and the founder of the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thelema Thelema]] religion, who in real life [[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Aleister_Crowley,_thinker.jpg looked like this,]] but in the series [[http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100507015910/to-aru-majutsu-no-index/images/d/d9/Aleisterc10.png looks like this,]] complete with a visible bustline. The novels describe him as androgynous, so much so that he cannot be described as conclusively male or female, at least based on his looks.
* In ''LightNovel/{{Konosuba}}'' Vanir makes the claim that demons are genderless beings. At least in Vanir's case he's a spirit tethered to a mask, and he's able to shapeshift his projected body at will. He also shows no hang ups with possessing the bodies of female adventurers if it suits his purposes. [[spoiler:In one amusing incident he transforms into the form of a succubus, and participates in a beauty contest. The men in the crowd are understandably disturbed when he reveals his true identity to them.]]
* ''LightNovel/NoGameNoLife'' has Tet, the god of games (and, being the only surviving god, the de facto ruler of Disboard), who appears in the form of a pink-haired, pink-clothed, ambiguously-gendered child.

* The Despair Embodied in ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry2'' is able to freely shapeshift between a male and female form, depending on its weapon of choice; the male uses a FlamingSword, while the female brandishes a {{whip|ItGood}}.

* Dr Frank N. Furter from ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow'' is a male alien who likes to wear women's lingerie and sleeps with AnythingThatMoves. Being "a sweet transvestite from transsexual Transylvania" doesn't narrow it down much.

* In ''Manga/{{Devilman}}'', Satan is shown to be a hermaphrodite, having both male genitals and female breasts. In ''Anime/DevilmanCrybaby'', Satan also has a more androgynous-sounding voice courtesy of Creator/AyumuMurase.

** The {{Sufficiently Advanced Alien|s}} Kronos in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS9E5TheTimeMonster The Time Monster]]" is referred to by male pronouns, as was his counterpart in Myth/GreekMythology, and depicted in a masculine [[SpecialEffectFailure paper bird costume]]... er, humanoid bird form. At the end of the story, she appears as a sort of massive shining woman and explains to Jo that she is whatever she wants to be.
