History Main / HumanoidAliens

* ''Animation/{{Lamput}}'': In "Alien Again", the blue-gray-skinned aliens in white clothing look remarkably like the scientists after Lamput, leading to one assuming Slim Doc should be with them. However, the extraterrestrials also have only one eye, as well as an antenna on their heads.

* The reptilians from ReptilianConspiracy theories tend to fluctuate between this, RubberForeheadAliens, and even less human-like LizardFolk.

%%* ''WesternAnimation/VoltronLegendaryDefender'': Most of the aliens are relatively humanoid.

* ''WesternAnimation/Ben10'': Nearly every alien that Ben can transform into, with the only exceptions being [=XLR8=], Ripjaws, Wildmutt, Ghostfreak, and technically Four Arms. ''[[WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce Alien Force]]'' introduces more humanoid alien transformations, but also has quite a few non-humanoids, even StarfishAliens, such as Brainstorm and Goop. There's also Jetray and Spidermonkey, who aren't Starfish Aliens, but they aren't humanoid either.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'': The Titans and Nebulans have pointy ears and either blue or green skin. In ''ComicBook/TheTransformersMarvel'', however, the Nebulans were indistinguishable from humans.
** These are more RubberForeheadAliens, really. The Transformers themselves, on the other hand, definitely qualify. They're MechanicalLifeforms, but most have one mode with a humanoid body plan... And some even have ''more than one'', for [[SuperMode one reason]] or [[FullBodyDisguise another]], while others have one and [[CombiningMecha are]] ''[[CombiningMecha part]]'' [[CombiningMecha of another]].
** Heck, there's even a small handful of Transformers that ''don't'' have humanoid robot modes individually, but are ''still'' part of a humanoid CombiningMecha.

* Creator/LarryNiven averted this for the most part in his ''Literature/KnownSpace'' universe, but used the Kzinti, who are [[CatGirl cat people]].

* In Creator/WenSpencer's ''Literature/UkiahOregon'' series, Hex and Prime, the only survivors of the initial Ontongard invasion horse, had bodies that looked largely human, but with all black eyes, strangely textured hair, and slightly odd proportions.

* Creator/RobertWestall's ''Literature/UrnBurial'''s Fefethil and Wawaka [[CatFolk cat people]] and dog people, respectively. StarfishAliens do get a mention, but none appear as characters.

* In "ComicBook/GilgameshTheImmortal'', when they are not HumanAliens, the aliens that Gilgamesh encounters are of this type.

* Cryto from ''VideoGame/DestroyAllHumans'' is a good example.

* ''Anime/DragonBallZ'': The Saiyans are HumanAliens, as they're visually indistinguishable from humans outside of having tails and can even have children with humans. Aside from them, the vast majority of aliens are in this category. Though most are possessed of unusual height, horns, elongated heads, a tail, etc., a handful are simply human forms with the only deviation being unnaturally-colored skin - Jeice and Sauzaa come to mind. It's been revealed that Jeice and [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Salza]] were actually both members of the same species. Like humans they come in multiple skin colors; unlike humans those colors are red and blue.

* ''Animation/FantasticPlanet'': The [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Traags/Draags]]. Aside from their [[OurGiantsAreBigger size]], they're essentially hairless, blue-skinned, red-eyed humans.

* The Protoss in ''VideoGame/{{Starcraft}}'' definitely qualify. They've got the "human" number of heads, arms, legs, and eyes, but they also have digitigrade legs, nerve cords coming out the backs of their heads, and skin (scales?) in a wide variety of cool colors. Also, they have NoMouth, because they're, apparently,[[BizarreAlienBiology photosynthetic]].

* ''ComicBook/WarlordOfMars'' has the Green Martians, who are exceptionally tall, have six-limbs and tusked mouths and ears on their forehead that look like dish antennae. They are easily the most inhuman of all other sentient people in Barsoom, who [[RubberForeheadAliens look just like humans with exotic skin colors]]. Justified by the fact that the Green People were the end result of crossbreeding between [[KillerSpaceMonkey white apes]], [[SuperPersistentPredator apts]] and [[HumanAliens Red Martians]].

* In the ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}''/''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'' story ''Comicbook/WarWorld'', two different alien races show up: the Largas and the Warzoon. The former are tall, human-like aliens with white-silvery skin, long fingers and faceless heads. The latter are red-skinned, fanged humanoid aliens with ape-like flat faces, huge, bulging, blank yellow eyes and four-fingered hands.
* In the ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'' story arc ''ComicBook/TheLeperFromKrypton'', the natives of planet Knorr are vaguely bird like humanoids. Their bodies are covered with bright-yellow feathers, and they have scaly legs and talons.
* In the ''ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes'' story ''ComicBook/TheEarthwarSaga'', the Slimehound aliens are vaguely humanoid, but they are green-skinned, have four legs, elongated craniums, snail-like eyestalks and hog-like noses.
