1	'''Basic trope''': Aliens that externally look human, but with some differences.
2	* '''Straight''':
3	** Troperians look like humans except for having [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation green or blue skin]] and PointyEars.
4	** Geshals, a sapient species from the planet Aria, look like humans, except for their OtherworldlyTechnicolourHair, TechnicolorEyes, and pigmented nails.
5	* '''Exaggerated''':
6	** HumanoidAliens
7	** HumanAliens
8	* '''Downplayed''': Troperians look almost entirely human, except for having a slightly different facial structure.
9	* '''Justified''':
10	** Troperians are a HumanSubspecies, and they evolved their differences from ordinary humans as a result of the planet they live on.
11	** The planet Aria is similar to Earth, and as such, the creatures evolved somewhat similarly.
12	* '''Inverted''': StarfishAliens
13	* '''Subverted''': ???
14	* '''Double Subverted''': ???
15	* '''Parodied''': ???
16	* '''Zigzagged''': ???
17	* '''Averted''': The aliens have no resemblance to humans whatsoever.
18	* '''Enforced''':
19	** Making aliens look less human would be too expensive, but the work still wants to make it clear that the characters are aliens, so they add a few unusual features.
20	** The writer wanted to show that the alien characters aren't all that different from the Earthling characters, but still showing that they are still different.
21	* '''Lampshaded''':
22	** "Aside from the colorful skin tones and pointy ears, Troperians look just like humans!"
23	** This exchange:
24	*** '''Earth Human Girl:''' "You look like a weird-looking human."
25	*** '''Aria Geshal Girl:''' [[HumansThroughAlienEyes "You look like a weird-looking geshal."]]
26	* '''Invoked''': A MadScientist creates an alien race and intentionally makes sure that they look very humanlike.
27	* '''Defied''': ???
28	* '''Discussed''': ???
29	* '''Conversed''':
30	** "Aliens in live-action tend to look like people with some unusual features. I bet it's due to budget restraints."
31	** "In that show, the geshals from Aria look a lot like humans, but still have some clear differences. I guess it's to show that they really aren't all that different from Earth humans."
