Human Aliens / Western Animation

Go To

  • Most episodes of The Backyardigans that take place in outer space have the kids playing characters who live in space but look exactly like them: "Cops and Robots", "Garbage Trek", "Ranch Hands from Outer Space", "Los Galacticos", "Pablor and the Acorns", and "The Big Dipper Diner". Played with, as they are Funny Animals, not humans.
  • In Ben 10: Alien Force
    • Alan is a Pyronite crossbreed who looks human except for when he's using his powers, and it's revealed that Gwen (and of course Ben by extension) is a Half-Human Hybrid and gets her powers from her alien grandmother (the logical extension is, of course, that anyone without an Omnitrix strapped to their wrist who has powers is an alien or part-alien. The fans have had fun with this). Kevin is revealed to be the son of a alien who look indistinguishable from humans at a younger age, but when we meet an older member of the species, Aggregor, we see that they do grow horns at later ages.
    • Hex and Charmcaster are humans from an alternate dimension as revealed in Ben 10: Ultimate Alien, making them literal Human Aliens.
    • Ben 10: Omniverse would go on to retcon many of the above: as Alan was revealed to have been mutated by a conspiracy that also is responsible for making Kevin and Max believe his father and old partner, respectively, was an alien from another planet when Kevin was in fact a mutant human. This change is fairly divisive in the fanbase.
  • Comet Guy in Darkwing Duck is from the planet Mertz, where he and his people all resemble humans instead of anthropomorphic animals.
  • Fangbone!'s eponymous character looks human but is from a dimension called Skullbania. Skullbanians are a Proud Warrior Race look exactly like humans but distinguish themselves from humans in their speech, while also possessing Super-Strength (Fangbone can break rocks with his head without flinching).
  • In Futurama, the Harlem Globetrotters are an entire species of genius-intelligence basketball players. Also of note are the Amazonians (muscular women twice as tall as a normal human) and the Vincians (identical to humans but smarter and very Long-Lived).
  • The GoBots looked completely human before becoming a race of cyborgs. The only two remaining Gobotic humanoids are the Last Engineer and the Master Renegade, who were discovered in suspended animation.
  • Eternians in general in He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, and by extension She-Ra: Princess of Power and She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, appear fully human. The only exception is Adam's mother who is from Earth.
  • The Jammbonians from Jelly Jamm, aside from their brightly-colored skin, look a lot like humans.
  • In Ready Jet Go!, all Bortronians look like humans. This helps the Propulsion family to blend in with the Earthies and keep their alien identity a secret while on Earth.
  • The Rick and Morty episode ''That's Amorte'' has a species of aliens that look identical to humans but turn into spaghetti when they commit suicide.
  • The main character of Star vs. the Forces of Evil looks human, but is from another dimension. The human equivalents mostly live in a kingdom called Mewni, and so are called "mewmans". While Star and her mother are Human Outside, Alien Inside, going through a bizarre form of puberty that eventually makes them Winged Humanoids, this seems to be exclusive to their royal lineage. It eventually turns out they really are humans that wandered from Earth to Mewni but lost their memories in the process.
  • Sym-Bionic Titan has the Galalunans, who seem to blend in with the Earthlings very well. Interestingly, one episode showed they have equivalents to multiple human ethnicity instead of all looking like white people.
  • Just about everyone in Winx Club are from different planets throughout the Magical Dimension. Technically they're aliens, but other than their ability to do magic, they're exactly the same as humans.
  • WordGirl is an alien from the planet Lexicon, but looks nothing remotely exotic.
  • Averted in Young Justice (2010) with the Rannians. In the comics they're this trope, but in this continuity, they look more elvish with green-tinted skin.
