A creature, or entire race of creatures, can only be seen by individuals who possess a certain trait. For anyone who does not share that trait, the creature cannot be perceived at all. Usually, losing the trait will also cause you to lose the ability to perceive them, though in some cases, once you have encountered the creature, you will always be able to perceive them. In the most common situation, only children can perceive the creature. Another typical example is when animals fall under the rule, but humans do not. Occasionally, although you won't be able to sense the creature, their presence will give you an inexplicable Gut Feeling. In some cases, the creatures can appear as people but the people possessing that trait can see them as what they really are. This is the supertrope to Invisible to Normals and Invisible to Adults. Please place examples of those subtropes under the proper subtrope. See also Weirdness Censor, Magnetic Medium, and You Can See Me? Compare True Sight, when one only needs to have an enhanced sight to see something normally unseen. For the literal version of this trope, see Blind Seer. |

Dune inverts this in the latter books. Siona and her descendants are invisible to prescience. This is important both to humanity's survival so no one threat can target all of humanity ever again, but it is the only thing that saves Chapterhouse planet from destruction by the Honored Matres. | |

In The Last Unicorn, normal humans can't see the titular unicorn (or unicorns in general). All they will see is a white mare at best. It is implied that only humans who deeply believe in their existence, such as Molly, or possess magic, such as Schmendrick and the witch who captures her early in the movie, can see her as she truly is. Said witch has to create a fake horn in order to make people believe she's a true unicorn, since they can't see her real horn. Haggard himself can see through her human disguise because, as he puts it, everything in her behaviour betrays her real nature. Finally, the skull sees right through her disguise. | |

Certain creatures in Bloodborne can only be seen by those who possess sufficient Insight, an understanding of the hidden nature of the world (which is partly synonymous with going stark, staring mad). This has both positive aspects (you need to have had at least one point of Insight at some point in order to interact with the Plain Doll, which is how you gain levels) and negative (certain enemies have attacks they can only use on those with over a certain amount of Insight). | |

In Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey, demons are invisible unless viewed through a Demonica visor with the Devil Summoning Program installed. Even then, they just show up as a bit of graphical corruption on the HUD until the program gathers enough information to display their actual appearance. The Final Boss is so ridiculously powerful that the Demonica can't even translate its appearance into a coherent form until augmented by a being of similar power. | |

SCP Foundation: The world accessible through SCP-093 is almost immediately found to be full of strange figures that are visible on the monitoring cameras, but which the people exploring the world can't seem to see. They turn out to be the "ghosts" of the Unclean and those absorbed by them — they can only be seen by machines or those affected by His Tears. They show no ability to speak, but seem able to communicate textually through machinery that allows it, and communicate telepathically with the affected. SCP-870 can only be seen by schizophrenics, which causes everyone but the Foundation to dismiss them as hallucinations. It doesn't help that they have biologically impossible appearances which one would expect to only see in nightmares. |

Discworld: Death can be seen by animals, witches and wizards, occasionally small children, and people about to die or who are having a near-death experience — in brief, anybody whose Weirdness Censor is off... and Carrot, who used him as a witness for a murder in the short story 'Theatre of Cruelty'. The book Wyrd Sisters states that Death can also be seen if people truly expect to see him (which may explain Carrot's ability to use him as a witness). In Wyrd Sisters, Death walks on stage during a play at a time when the audience expects an actor playing Death to show up — and is seen by everyone in the audience. He gets stage fright. Discworld also brings us the expression "First Sight" from the Tiffany Aching books. Apparently Second Sight is the ability to see things that aren't really there (most people have this), but First Sight is the ability to see things that are, whether or not you're expecting them. Wizards are trained to have this ability basically as soon as they start at the Unseen University, and it's a great help to naturally have it if you're going to be a witch. Carrot's extremely straightforward nature may correlate somehow. Ghosts can, according to Death, be seen by close relatives, the magically-receptive, and cats. The Bogles (weird humanoid demon-animals that inhabit the Underworld) from Wintersmith can only be seen by people who have their eyes shut at the time. This might be a deliberate parody of the Blind Seer trope. |

In Final Fantasy XIV, the only person who can see or hear Ardbert during the events of the Shadowbringers expansion is the Warrior of Light. Turns out Ardbert is quite grateful for the company, as it's been over a hundred years since anybody else could see him, hear him, or talk to him. It's later revealed that this is because the Warrior of Light and Ardbert are both reflections of one another. The two of them eventually perform a Fusion Dance to join as one again. | |

Implied in many works from The Slender Man Mythos. Typically, only Slender Man's intended victims can actually see him unassisted. However, he always shows up in pictures and videos, which is why savvier characters (i.e. Alex Kralie, Milo,) start keeping a camera with them at all times. Then, when other characters review said pictures and videos, they end up going "Hey wait, why didn't I ever notice that rather obvious tall, faceless guy in the business suit when I was actually there?" Unfortunately, realizing that Slender Man exists is an easy way to get on his list... | |

The X-Files: The episode "Folie à Deux" features a monster disguised as a human working in a telemarketing company, escaping detection by apparently "hiding in the light", and able to kill people and control their corpses without anyone else noticing they're dead. An employee named Lambert, however, is able to see him as he is, as well as those whom he killed. Everyone thinks he's crazy, but he manages to get Mulder to see the monster as well. | |

The insect-like creatures from a parallel universe in Stargate SG-1 could only be seen by those irradiated by the alien device brought by SG-1, or those who touched them. Interestingly, the creatures themselves did absolutely nothing (since they had always been there), but suddenly being able to see them led to some... panic. Also, beings with Naquadah in their blood (Goa'uld symbiotes and by extension anyone who has ever had a symbiote in their body) can sense when others have Naquadah in their systems. After Carter is briefly taken as host by a Tok'ra, her ability to sense Goa'uld comes in handy. Goa'uld can also sense Reetou, an insectoid race that exists out of phase from our universe. |

The Emperor's New Clothes plays with this trope. The cloth for the titular garb allegedly can only be seen by the wise, or those well suited to their jobs. Of course, there is no cloth, so the emperor is nude. The Fridge Logic is, of course, why anyone would want stupid people to see them naked. It's based on a swindle, which in turn is based on the natural human fear of looking stupid. Hence, everyone who looks at the "magic cloth" pretends to see it, based on the "rules" that the con-men have given to the Emperor, for fear of losing their jobs. The "innocent" child who sees through the scam does so because he (or she) has not been trained to tell the Emperor and those around him what they want to hear (i.e., to lie in order to preserve the feelings of the powerful, and the life of the speaker). The story itself is a metaphor for how a powerful idiot can only be challenged by someone who has nothing to lose. (One Whole-Plot Reference makes it ambiguous whether it's a con... or whether the cloth really does work and the reason the viewpoint character could never see it is that he's indeed foolish and unfit for his position.) | |

How the Animorphs learn about the existence of the Chee, a race of androids living among humans through the use of holograms: in dog morph, Marco notes that Eric has no smell (though he was carrying smells picked up from touching other people), but because dogs have mammalian eyes, he still looked normal. It takes a spider morph, with completely different eyes, to reveal the machine under the hologram. | |

In Charger Girl, Charger Girls use a cloaking system to hide themselves from the populace of Earth (normally, they're transparent, but can still be seen), and while cloaked, can only be seen or touched by other people from Life Core and Sento, for some reason. Sento's ability to see and touch them is never explained in the anime, but he does briefly lose the ability to do so while depressed. | |

Touhou Project's Koishi Komeji, a mindreading girl who closed her third eye (located on her external heart) in order to escape all the hatred that comes from reading people's darkest thoughts. However, closing off her eye also closed off her heart and mind on top of giving her the ability to manipulate peoples' subconscious. Consequently, no-one is able to establish an emotional connection with her or feel her presence even when looking straight at her, and as soon as she leaves a person's field of vision they immediately forget all about having ever even seen or met her. However, her powers don't work as well on children and sometimes she plays with them. However, most of them forget about her as they grow up. | |

Fairy Tail: The spirit of Mavis Vermillion, Fairy Tail's founding master, can only be seen and heard by wizards with the Fairy Tail guild emblem. It's indicated by Jacob Lessio (the only outsider who can sense her) that she could choose who else can see her if she wanted, but limits it to those she can trust. In the prequel, Fairy Tail ZERØ, Mavis's friend Zera turns out to be an illusion based on the real Zera, who died and unwittingly triggered Mavis's illusory magic; because Mavis didn't realize she was an illusion, she couldn't make it so others could see her, and Zera can't exist as long as Mavis is aware of her true nature. The sequel, Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest, features the ghost of a dead Dragon Slayer named Wraith who can only be seen and heard by other Dragon Slayers. |

One episode of Danny Phantom was centered around Danny childishly breaking stuff and blaming a ghost that no one else could see. Turned out, he was right; the ghost was only visible to children or those with a similar mentality. Jazz was eventually able to see him once she was forcibly reminded she's not as adult as she likes to think. | |

Doctor Who: "Vincent and the Doctor": Only Vincent van Gogh can see the Krafayis. No explanation is given for this, but it has something to do with his artistic mind and/or depression. "Mummy on the Orient Express": The Foretold, the titular mummy, can only be seen by its intended victims, who then have roughly one minute before the Foretold kills them. The Doctor ultimately manages to take the place of one potential victim to see the Foretold and figure out how to stop it. |

In the tabletop role-playing game Changeling: The Lost, a Changeling's mien (that is, their true, Fae-inspired appearance) is virtually impossible to detect against a Changeling's will, even to other magical folk; though there may be enough bleedover to make their mundane appearance unique or unusual enough to make others suspect there could be something wrong, the illusion of a normal visage, called the Mask, is complete and almost impenetrable. However, one book lists optional conditions for people who are naturally capable of seeing through it, such as the seventh son of a seventh son, a person with heterochromia, or someone born on Leap Day. The same book has a sample character who can see through the Mask - when he was a kid, he took a bullet to the head, and it hit him in just the right way that his perceptions were opened for good. It scares the shit out of him. Then there's the fact that most things from the Hedge, such as hobgoblins, can only be perceived on Earth by changelings or any humans a changeling has chosen to ensorcel. |

Star Wars Rebels has an unusual, literal example. In "The Holocrons of Fate", only Kanan — who was blinded by Maul in the Season 2 finale — can see in the light unleashed by the holocron fusion. Everyone else is blinded by it. | |

In the Sushi Pack episode "The Thing That Wasn't There", only Maguro can see the electrical monster that's wreaking havoc in Wharf City. Whether or not this is due to her mental powers is never explained, and she herself says she doesn't know why she can see it while the others can't. | |

Amaterasu from Ōkami is visible to everyone, but the Facial Markings that indicate her divinity only show up to people who still have faith in the gods. Similarly, she can only be understood by supernatural creatures such as Poncles, Celestials, and other gods. One particularily devout follower actually does happen to be blind, and all he sees is a beautiful maiden standing before him. Issun (a Poncle) is confused about what the guy is talking about, because he doesn't see anyone but the Furball herself. | |

The gods of A Moment of Peace are invisible to the stick figure humans they walk among, but apparently Monster Food, limbless worm-like creatures hanging from the very bottom of the food chain, can see them. Or at least this one can. | |

In the Warrior Cats series, ghosts can only be seen by cats who have the ability (and sometimes only a specific individual at that). Occasionally there are scenes where Tree is talking to one, and the POV character thinks he's talking to himself until they realize what's going on. | |

Faeries in The Spiderwick Chronicles can only be seen by people with the Sight. If you don't have it, you can get it by rubbing faerie ointment, faerie bathing water, or hobgoblin saliva in your eyes, or by carrying a Four-Leaf Clover or a seeing stone. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Dawn's true nature can only be seen by mentally unstable people. Mentally ill or psychic people can see the energy of the Key that's hidden inside her. The child-killing demon Der Kindestod from the Season 2 episode "Killed by Death" can only be seen by young people with fevers. In Angel, only people whose blood has mixed with Jasmine's can see beyond her beauty to see the creepy maggot-infested walking Eldritch Abomination she is. Subverted with Connor, who always saw her as a maggot-infested walking Eldritch Abomination because he was her father. Yeah. Talk about a face only a parent could love. |

Star Wars Legends: In Dark Apprentice, Luke Skywalker's Force ghost can be seen only by the Solo twins, Jacen and Jaina. Although they see him through the Force, the trope still applies since the other Jedi were unable to detect him. | |

In The Frighteners, those who have a traumatic experience sometimes have their perception altered. This allows them to see ghosts, the white light/stairway to heaven, and other... things. | |

Charmed (1998): Only magical beings, such as witches, demons and Whitelighters, are able to see ghosts. One episode had a demon who acts as a Not-So-Imaginary Friend in order to corrupt children, who could only be seen by his victims. This is not Invisible to Adults, because (a) only the child he is targeting at any given time can see him, not children in general, and (b) when Time Travel gets involved, his target's adult counterpart is also able to see him, which even he didn't anticipate. |

The Lion Guard: Only Kion can see Mufasa's spirit in the clouds and interact with him (aside from Simba), as shown in "The Rise of Scar". Whenever someone else comes upon them, all they see is an empty space in the sky that pulses with a light breeze. | |

Played with in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Imaginary Friend". Young Clara originally has a not-unusual imaginary friend named Isabelle who she pretends to play with. Then an alien presense reads her mind and manifests itself as the physical embodiment of Isabelle. It's not really that no one else can see her though, just that she vanishes whenever someone else enters the room. | |
