History Main / PosthumanNudism

* ''VideoGame/EldenRing'': When you fight Malenia, Blade of Miquella, she's wearing a helmet and a chain mail dress. When she ascends into the Goddess of Rot, her clothes disappear and she fights you butt-naked. [[FanDisservice It's less sexy than it sounds]], given that the effects of Scarlet Rot [[BodyHorror have extended to her naughty bits]]; that BarbieDollAnatomy is most likely because her privates have either molded over or outright rotted away.

* Applies to a few of the species in ''Literature/TheLastAndFirstMen'':

* ''Fanfic/AlienSpeciesCrossoverReturnToLV426'': Downplayed. Lise wears clothes most of the time, but is very casual about being seen naked. Part of this is because, as much as Boone has tried to raise her in a supportive and enriching environment, Lise is still a military biological experiment and Boone is the doctor running that experiment, so Boone "has seen Lise in about every way she could be seen." [[spoiler:Because her hybrid form can emit intense heat, she sometimes burns off her clothes if she transforms while dressed. In the third story, the hybrids working to dismantle the ship that illegally landed on Alfheim work naked, because cleaning their skin is easier than cleaning clothes, and supplies are thin enough they'd rather damage their bodies which can heal almost instantly and fight off infections than damage clothing, which is much more difficult to repair or replace.]]

* ''Manga/MetroidSamusAndJoey'': [[spoiler:Upon [[AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence ascending to a higher plane of existence]] in ''EX'', Samus Aran is completely devoid of clothes]], which is a [[AdaptationalSkimpiness step up]] from the first three games where [[spoiler:the most revealing she got was in a bikini]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' episode "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS16E19ThankGodItsDoomsday Thank God it's Doomsday]]", after Homer laments that his prophecy of the end of the end of the world didn't come true, he notices that he's naked and ascending to heaven. When he gets there, an angel introduces himself as Homer's tour guide, and offers him a robe. Homer says he's comfortable walking naked, but the angel says [[FanDisservice the robe is for the sake of everyone else]].

* ''ComicBook/{{BPRD}}'': In the "Garden of Souls" miniseries, the members of the Oannes Society have a plan to ascend themselves to godhood by transferring their minds into vat-grown superhuman bodies and powering themselves up by absorbing the souls of millions of humans. When set their plan into motion, the would-be gods all go completely nude as soon as they're in the new bodies. [[note]]In John Arcudi and Guy Davis's notes from the trade paperback edition, they explain how the initially considered putting the new bodies in elaborate costumes. They ultimately went with nudity instead, because of the simplicity, and because they liked the idea of the Oannes Society rebelling against the repression of their Victorian Era roots.[[/note]]

* ''Film/TheWitch'' [[spoiler: Upon her transformation into a witch, Thomasin strips herself nude like with all the other witches]].

* ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'': Quinella discarded her entire dress after attaining godhood by implanting the administrative abilities inside her [=FluctLight=].

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003'': The Green Men and Merpeople were clothed when they had been human, but after their mutation, they now walk around in the buff.

* ''TabletopGame/AdvancedDungeonsAndDragonsSecondEdition'': The ''TabletopGame/DarkSun'' supplement ''Dragon Kings'' describes the transformations that Athasian Wizards can go through beyond 20[[superscript:th]] level, turning into dragons for Defilers or avangions for Preservers. Both forms tend to wear more abbreviated clothing past 22[[superscript:nd]] level as their bodies began to depart from standard humanoid shapes, and around 23-24[[superscript:th]] levels the characters start discarding them entirely, having no longer any genitals visible.

* ''VideoGame/BioShock1'' concludes with [[spoiler: Frank Fontaine]] splicing himself up with all the ADAM he has on hand, transforming himself into a gigantic, hugely-muscled superbeing empowered with numerous Plasmid abilities. Also, he's naked -- albeit with BarbieDollAnatomy -- partly because his clothes no longer fit him but mostly because Splicing has left him too deranged to care.

[[folder:Web Comics]]
* ''Webcomic/SweetHome'': When the monsters have been active for long enough, their desire to roam disappears and they enter a cocoon-like state. When they emerge as an Evolved Human, they choose to forego clothing. [[spoiler:Hyun, as a half-monster,]] stands out in this regard because he chooses to dress himself after his evolution.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' episode "Thank God it's Doomsday", after Homer laments that his prophecy of the end of the end of the world didn't come true, he notices that he's naked and ascending to heaven. When he gets there, an angel introduces himself as Homer's tour guide, and offers him a robe. Homer says he's comfortable walking naked, but the angel says [[FanDisservice the robe is for the sake of everyone else]].

* ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'': Given how apostles function, there is little doubt that the first one to appear in the story wore clothes when she was human. By the time the story starts, she ceased wearing them after becoming an apostle.

* ''Webcomic/UnicornJelly'': in the DistantFinale, [[http://unicornjelly.com/uni666.html while greeting the newest wave of castaways]], the Humano-Jellese seem to wear only 'floaty butt covers' on various parts of their bodies.
* ''Webcomic/UnwindersTallComics'' discusses this in [[https://web.archive.org/web/20170909172137/http://www.tallcomics.com/comic/?sort=32 "Watchmaker"]], a Halloween comic that's also an extended {{Homage}} to ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}''. Unwinder [[HalloweenCosplay "dresses" up as Dr. Manhattan for Halloween]] complete with nudity, and when asked why, claims that his atomic powers have caused him to lose touch with human culture.

* The ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' 2[[superscript:nd]] Edition ''TabletopGame/DarkSun'' supplement ''Dragon Kings'' describes the transformations that Athasian Wizards can go through beyond 20[[superscript:th]] level, turning into dragons for Defilers or avangion for Preservers. Both forms tend to wear more abbreviated clothing past 22[[superscript:nd]] level as their bodies began to depart from standard humanoid shapes, and around 23-24[[superscript:th]] levels the characters start discarding them entirely, having no longer any genitals visible.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/LoveDeathAndRobots'' episode "[[Recap/LoveDeathAndRobotsZimaBlue Zima Blue]]", the eponymous ReclusiveArtist has modified his body to the point of being effectively immortal, being capable of marching through molten magma unharmed, striding barefoot through snowy wastelands, and meditating in deep space without a spacesuit -- all feats being accomplished completely naked. When a lone journalist is allowed to see him, he greets her nude (and apparently without genitals), the better to emphasize his glossy-black artificial skin. [[spoiler:However, it also turns out that he's not merely posthuman, but post''robot'' as well: he was originally a simple pool-cleaning robot before he was gradually remade as a human being by successive generations of owners.]]
