Alien Among Us | comment |
A being from outer space generally comes to Earth either to observe and learn about us or to help guide us (or just get stuck here) and must keep his true nature a secret. A good opportunity for Mr. Exposition to make his presence felt as the alien often needs everything explained, or describes the situation for others of his kind who might share his curiosity. A lot of comedy can be drawn from the newly landed alien having No Social Skills. Alternatively, the alien or aliens could be stranded and unable to leave. If they want to return home, they'll never get to, making Earth their Gilligan's Island. Often, the alien will eventually lose interest in leaving, and if given the opportunity will refuse it. This is usually the case when they form strong attachments and relationships to Earthlings, such as becoming friends with a human roommate. Tends to grow less and less plausible the longer a series lasts, as evidenced by the difficulty many viewers had with the idea that the 3rd Rock from the Sun aliens would not know about taxes after four years in the United States. If the main character is from our world (or one close to it) and the setting is another, that's Trapped in Another World. A whole community of Aliens Among Us, living here for a while, will probably form a Wainscot Society. Compare First Contact. See also Hugh Mann, Amusing Alien, Humanity Ensues, Raised by Wolves, Fish out of Water, Mysterious Waif. |

Glomer, from the Punky Brewster cartoon, hails from Chaundoon, a land inside a rainbow where his type—a "glomley"—serve as leprechaun helpers. When Glomer strays from the rainbow and the rainbow disappears, he's stranded in Chicago. But Punky takes him under her care, keeping him a secret from her foster father Henry Warnimont all the same. | |

The Star Trek: Enterprise episode "Carbon Creek" has T'Pol tell Archer and Trip the story of her great-grandmother T'Mir, who crash-landed in the titular town on Earth in 1957 along with another Vulcan named Mestral. While they did seem a little weird, they didn't have too much trouble keeping below the radar, which is no mean feat in the midst of Cold War. In fact, Mestral finds Earth's culture to be fascinating and even develops friendships and, possibly, romantic attachments. T'Mir tries to stay focused on going back to Vulcan, only interfering once to help a bright kid get into college (by selling a velcro pouch to a businessman and leaving the money to the kid). Mestral opts to stay on Earth, and T'Mir lies to the crew of the rescue ship that he died. Presumably, he lived out his life on Earth and died, keeping his true identity a secret. | |

The author of Future Shock spares no expense to remind us how utterly alien Kryptonians can be at times, and that doesn't even get into the other aliens who are introduced throughout the series. Probably the most noteable example is that Kryptonians have an entire sign language for giving orders to servitor droids without interrupting a conversation. | |

Part Time UFO: Despite being a sentient UFO, Jobski adjusts fairly well to Earth life and makes a lot of friends (and money) doing part-time jobs for various people. It helps that Jobski's not the weirdest thing there, what with the talking statues, mecha laboratory, and technicolor fish it encounters. Ankh is heavily implied to have been one of these as well, though she's established herself as a shopkeeper for galactic goods. | |

But once they've gone and Francine scoffs about their beliefs, Yo reveals they're not face-eating aliens, but head-eating aliens, so Fanboy was right all along.

My Monster Secret has Aizawa Nagisa and her brethren, a race of Lilliputian aliens who interact with humanity in a Mobile-Suit Human. They look and act every bit like humans, except Nagisa constantly talks like she's on a battlefield and takes everything way too seriously. | |

Defiance deals with humans living side-by-side several alien races on Earth that has become a Death World thanks to a malfunction of alien tech. Cultural clashes are common, although most at least try to assimilate and be tolerant. | |

Supergirl: While this is not really the case for Superman, since he was raised here, it is often the case for his cousin Supergirl, who came here as a teenager. The version that probably gets the most milage out of the concept is Supergirl: Cosmic Adventures in the 8th Grade In Many Happy Returns, Kara Zor-El -aka, Pre-Crisis Supergirl- arrives on the Post-Crisis universe. Linda gets Kara enrolled at her high school, and Kara does her best to blend in, but she is a fifteen-year-old girl who comes from another planet and reality. She simply doesn't fit in, and her schoolmates think she is some kind of freak. In Supergirl: Being Super, Kara also has trouble fitting in and understanding Earth's customs and traditions. In her second solo book, Kara explains she felt like a fish out of water at the beginning. Earth was primitive and mundane compared with Argo City. Subverted in the fifth volume. At the beginning, Supergirl feels she doesn't understand Earth or Terrans and she doesn't fully fit in. But then she and Superman rescue Kandor and Kara finds she doesn't fit in with Kryptonians anymore either because she got used to thinking and acting like an Earth woman. |

Stargate SG-1 plays with this trope. One of the core team members is an alien (technically two, if you count the symbiote in his belly), which of course isn't a secret to the SGC. But he has to conceal his identity when out among the general public. Other aliens vist Earth from time to time, some even serving in high-profile roles such as a TV producer or corporate CEO. | |

Haruhi Suzumiya: Yuki Nagato is a humanoid interface created by an alien group called the Data Integration Thought Entity, being sent to Earth to observe the titular Haruhi Suzumiya due to the latter's Reality Warper abilities. It's later revealed that Ryoko Asakura is one as well, though she's much better at passing as a normal human girl than Yuki (at least until she decides to kill Kyon with a knife just so she can get an observable reaction from Haruhi). Kuyou Suoh is from a different alien organization, the Canopy Domain, which is implied to be so alien that they don't even have any kind of language. Kuyou was sent to Earth to learn how to communicate, but she's so incredibly alien in her behavior despite her human appearance that she comes across as rather unsettling. |

All of the Crystal Gems from Steven Universe apply, though Garnet, Pearl, and Rose had been on Earth for thousands of years and are familiar with the planet by the time the series starts, and Amethyst was made on Earth (though they don't seem to have spent much time with humans, so they're not familiar with certain human customs). Peridot, a recent arrival to Earth, struggles to understand things. That said, they're not trying to keep themselves secret—humans simply don't notice or care that they're aliens. | |

Pictured above, Resident Alien has a benign alien crash-landing on Earth and taking on the persona of a semi-retired doctor. At first, he lives in a cabin deep in the woods so as not to draw attention to himself. However, he reluctantly gets involved with the lives of the residents of a neighboring town when their only other physician dies - with no replacement readily available - and slowly becomes more and more used to once again experiencing a social life and contact with fellow sentient beings. | |

The entire fourth season of Lexx uses this to hilarious effect. The crew of the titular ship are from a society so intrinsically different than any on Earth that even when they do figure out how something works, they're completely flabbergasted about it. Examples include confusion over how much machinery and power is used by the space shuttle just to reach the Moon, as well as being unable to comprehend the practice of burying the dead; since the dead were processed for protein back on the Cluster, this seems like, literally, a waste of resources. | |

At the end of the episode, it turns out he really is an alien from Jupiter and was only posing as a normal human boy, but he fortunately has no malevolent intentions and only wants to bring a copy of Three's play script to his home planet so it can be used to entertain his people. | |

Ax in Animorphs. He actually spends most of his free time hiding in the woods, but occasionally morphs into a human form and tries to pass as an ordinary human. Given that his mouthless species doesn't speak verbally or have a sense of taste, it takes him a long time to get the hang of it. Turns out it runs in the family; though we don't see all the details, his brother Elfangor once did the same thing, even having a child with his human friend Loren. | |

Participating in the war are Leon's children, Prince Richter and Princess Erika, but while Erika is tending to the wounds of some of the Baam soldiers, her ship crashes and she loses her memory. She wakes up on Earth, having lost her memories, and is touched by the kindness of the humans that try to help her. She instantly falls in love with the human who rescued her, Kazuya, who feels the same way. Erika's love for Kazuya is undercut she remembers that she's the Princess of the Baam and she's complicit in their war crimes against Earth. Scared that Kazuya would hate her if he knew the truth, Erika tries to run away from the base and fakes her death, but Kazuya finds out and tells her he loves her anyway. | |

Lala from Star★Twinkle Pretty Cure is a Human Alien who lands on Earth and befriends the human Pink Heroine, Hikaru. She averts Aliens Speaking English at first, but once the two of them become Magical Girl Warriors, the Transformation Trinket takes care of translating. Though there's an Alien Non-Interference Clause, she gets around it by enrolling into school as a human, where her odd behavior sometimes raises eyebrows. She also brings along the squid-like alien Prunce, who usually disguises himself as Lala's backpack. Later on, they also take in a Cat Girl alien named Yuni, who doesn't enroll in school and just kind of hangs out in tree branches until she's needed. | |

In JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable, Mikitaka claims to be an alien living among humans. It's ambiguous whether or not he's telling the truth, but if indeed he is an alien, the world shown in JJBA is so weird and chaotic that his unusual appearance, eccentric demeanor, and weird powers actually do nothing to prevent him from blending right in. It helps that he's a Rubber-Forehead Alien living in a world where humans typically look at least a little extraordinary, and his Voluntary Shapeshifting abilities are small potatoes compared to the Lovecraftian superpowers frequently displayed by many Earth-born characters. | |

Ultra Series Ultraseven, Ultraman Leo, Ultraman 80, Ultraman Mebius and Ultraman Orb feature the titular Ultras having human forms rather than hosts. Ultraman Ginga also plays with this trope as well, with Spark Dolls, compacted forms of either kaiju or Ultra following an incident known as the Dark Spark War. Ultraman X features an alien as part of the main cast as part of Xio's science department, with a episode having several aliens living on Earth disguised as humans. In Ultraman Orb and Ultraman Geed, Earth has a good-sized alien population living in secret. The latter series even features an organization called the Alien Investigation Bureau that deals with troublemaking aliens and deports them. Geed is also himself an Ultra in human form, but unlike the others he was unaware of his true nature as everyone else. |

My Parents Are Aliens is about two aliens from the planet Valux, who crash-landed on Earth when one of them tampered with the controls of their spaceship. Taking on three orphans, they must learn how to navigate human life whilst making sure that no other human learns that they are aliens (for fear of them being taken away for scientific study). | |

Doctor Who: The Doctor generally avoids telling everyone that they're an alien time traveller, although certain fortunate people do get to find out. They also have psychic paper to help them avoid rousing suspicions when they investigate. "The Zygon Invasion"/"The Zygon Inversion" reveals that, since the events of "The Day of the Doctor", millions of Zygons have been living incognito on Earth, with only UNIT and the Doctor knowing about it. |

Dabbler, in Grrl Power, is a Succubus — which counts as 'alien' in this universe. She's apparently on Earth to learn what Terran humans are like (as it turns out, there are several million humans in the greater galaxy, for various reasons). Until the very public reveal that aliens exist, her abilities and appearance are explained as being a 'super' with a "battle form". Also there are tourists, who usually use some sort of disguise to visually fit in as they go to the clubs. |

Tracker (2001): Cole/Dagon doesn't really make much effort to blend into human society. His speech is strange and monotonous, although it gets better in later episodes. He has trouble understanding things we take for granted (such as trying to explain to Mel, who knows who he really is, what Star Wars is). Even bathing is new to him, though that’s possibly justified since his species are indicated to be Energy Beings. It's a lot easier for the alien fugitives, since they were forced to take human bodies to survive and absorbed their skills and memories. Cole arrived on his own and took on human form from an underwear ad. | |

The character of Anya from Buffy the Vampire Slayer could also be considered a variation on this device. Anya was a 1,120-year-old former demon, who did not understand the conventions of humans and, therefore, had wacky misunderstandings and needed to have things explained to her. Anya eventually subverted this trope in a (according to some) Good Troi Episode which flashed back to show her in her pre-demonic days. Turns out that her inability to grasp the conventions of humans has less to do with her being a former demon, and more to do with her just being very literal-minded. | |

Voltes V: The Boazanian Empire is a planet located 14,000 light years from Earth, in the Scorpius Constellation. The Boazanians are split it into two classes - the those with horns and the those without them. The ones that have them look down on the ones that don't, and enslave them so that they can live in luxury. During the reign of the 123rd Emperor of Boazania, the next heir apparent to the throne, in spite of his Royal Blood, was born without horns. After narrowly escaping fillicide, he was given prosthetic horns so he could live in peace. Things took a turn on the day of his coronation, when his sleazy bastard of a cousin exposed his dark secret to the public. The witnesses of the coronation were shocked at his deceit, being disgusted that the Prince they adored for so long was actually hornless. Humiliated, abused, and separated from his first wife (who later died in childbirth), the ex-Prince of Boazania took up arms and began leading slave rebellions all over the planet. He used his skill in technology to manufacture weapons for them. However, the empire continued to crackdown on protests, to the point all chances for an equal Boazania seemed hopeless. Knowing that his intelligence was too valuable for the anti-slave cause to be lost, the ex-Prince's fellow rioters urged him to flee the planet and prepared a spaceship for him. The ex-Prince eventually landed on Earth, where a kind-hearted scientist discovered him and rescued him from dying. With the other humans he met treating him like an equal, the hornless Boazanian fell in love with the planet and felt a new hope for the future. That man is Kentaro G�/Prince Gohl, the father of our main protagonist Kenichi G� - which means him and his brothers are this trope too. | |
