These are cases where a strange or fantastic creature eventually turns out to actually be a member of Homo sapiens — a human being — or a human subspecies. Since humans make up the majority of fictional characters, and being a human isn't (normally) regarded as a strange character attribute, this is often used as an inversion of traditional reveal tropes (such as Not Even Human). Often, the humans initially appear inhuman because of a Forced Transformation, or because of being some form of transhuman. Compare Actually Not a Vampire (though not all instances of Actually Not a Vampire are human; they're just not vampires), Mistaken for Aliens, and Unrobotic Reveal. The opposite of Human Alien Discovery. A subtrope of Was Once a Man, where an individual monsters turns out to be human. Not to be confused with Daft Punk's third album, Human After All. WARNING! Spoilers ahead! |

In Pact, Rose Thorburn is introduced as a vestige of Blake Thorburn, her Distaff Counterpart, a version of himself who was created artificially, lives, in mirrors, and is doomed by her nature to slow decay. It's later revealed that It's Blake, not Rose, that's the vestige-he's a bogeyman loaded with Fake Memories to make him think that he's human, and Rose is the real human of the pair. And then it turns out that neither is more 'real' than the other. Blake and Rose are the soul fragments of the real Thorburn heir who was split apart by The Barber. | |

Left Beyond: True of both Dwarves and Angels — both come about as a mutation upon the human genome, aided by Narrative Causality (accidentally in the first case, by Yahweh's hand in the second). By the time of the Last Battle, and in the Tripocalypse continuity, allografts are common and available enough that the furry subculture has quietly died down due to having become nothing special. | |

In The 13th Warrior, the protagonist gains some courage in battle when he discovers that the Vikings' monstrous foes the Wendol are just men dressed up in bearskins. Later in the film, he and the rest of the band stumble upon a cave filled with the skulls of the Wendols' many victims. He says he was wrong earlier, and claims that the Wendols are not men. | |

Dr. Victor Falco of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012) says that his partner, with whom he was experimenting with mutagen and psychic powers on a chimpanzee, was captured by the Kraang. But he's lying: Falco actually forcibly experimented on his partner and mutated his partner into said chimpanzee. The poor guy took a couple of seasons to get his intelligence back, and still looks like a chimp. | |

Doraemon: Nobita and the Animal Planet has the gang visiting a World of Funny Animals whose animal denizens speak of legendary demons known as the Nimuge; savage demons from another planet who terrorized their ancestors until the god of animals assists an exodus from the Nimuge's world to an uninhabited new planet several millennia ago, allowing the animals to evolve and develop. The Nimuge turns out to be humans, who had destroyed their home planet with nuclear weaponry, with the "god" spoken from the animal folk being a good human scientist that believe the animals still have a chance, thereby using his gadgets to allow a mass evacuation of animals. | |

The titular Titans from Attack on Titan. All were members of the Eldian race, a group of humans that possess a unique trait allowing them to be transformed into a Titan. What makes this discovery even more horrifying are the revelations that the characters are themselves Eldians and that all the Titans they've been fighting are poor souls that were transformed as punishment by an oppressive enemy nation. | |

In the pilot episode of Bonkers, Lucky gets into a scuffle with the defeated Toon villain named the Collector and pulls off one of his gloves, revealing that he has five fingers. Since Toons in this series all have Four-Fingered Hands, this clues in everyone — including the Collector's own unaware Toon henchmen — that he is not a Toon. Lucky pulls off his mask, revealing that the Collector is indeed human. Disturbingly enough, the Collector keeps insisting that he's a Toon afterward. | |

Fate/Grand Order: Throughout the Camelot story chapter, Chaldea has been fighting alongside Sir Bedivere, the only Servant among the Knights of the Round Table to defy the orders of Altria, who in this singularity has evolved into a Divine Spirit as the result of overusing her holy lance. However, Bedivere possesses several abilities that he never had in myth, such as the shining silver artifical arm Airgetlam, which originally belonged to the Celtic god Nuada. At the very end, Bedivere approaches Altria and reveals that his arm was actually a disguised Excalibur. At the same time, the members of Chaldea discover that Bedivere was never a Servant in the first place; he came from an alternate timeline where he failed to throw Excalibur into the lake upon his king's death, and he was so haunted by it that he spent the next 1500 years (thanks to Excalibur prolonging his life) trying to track down her spirit and return it to her. But after all that time, his soul was strained to the breaking point, and every use of his Noble Phantasm made it worse, so that when he returned the sword, his life ended on the spot and his soul underwent a Cessation of Existence. Despite this, the Throne of Heroes made a record of his journey and turned him into a Heroic Spirit, then allowed him to be reunited with Chaldea as a proper Servant. | |

With the occasional exception, pretty much every last Scooby-Doo villain is actually a human criminal pretending to be a monster or supernatural creature. And they would've gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for you meddling kids. | |

In The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, it's rather Elves all along. The Orcs led by Adar are former Elves from the lost subcontinent of Beleriand, enslaved and experimented by Morgoth. | |

In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Link grew up among the elf-like Kokiri and was believed by himself and the Kokiri themselves to be one of them, but eventually learns that he is a member of the human Hylian race. | |

"Tengu" of El Goonish Shive is an eight-foot-tall flying monster. Diane refuses to use pronouns other than "it" to refer to him, but Nanase insists that "him" is the correct pronoun, not out of respect, but because he's a human abusing his magic powers. | |

Doctor Who: The series 3 finale ("Utopia"/"The Sound of Drums"/"Last of the Time Lords") has two examples: The Toclafane who appear in the latter two episodes were the last surviving humans from the first episode, who turned themselves into Psychopathic Manchild Cyborgs to escape the universe's final collapse. The Face of Boe is actually a human after eons of Age Without Youth, specifically Captain Jack Harkness. (Probably.) |

In Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet, the Hideauze/"whale-squids" aren't aliens, they're humans who used genetic engineering to survive the coming Ice Age, with some of them traveling into space along with the proto-Galactic Alliance. Whether or not this still "counts" as human is an ethical debate that the characters engage in. | |

This is the big twist behind the Shades in NieR, though the backstory for it is rather complicated. The events of Drakengard's weirdest ending introduced a Mystical Plague to Earth that forced humans to separate their souls from their bodies and store them until an army of Artificial Humans cleaned up the planet. Unfortunately, these Replicants developed sentience, forgot their origins after completing their mission, and built their own civilization in the world's ruins. By the time of the game, the Replicants are slowly dying out due to complications like the Black Scrawl disease, while the humans' Shades have started going insane without their bodies, with many devolving into ravening shadow monsters. There was a plan to put things right and reunite the Shades with their Replicants, but by the end of the game, Nier kind of kills it. | |

A subdued version appears in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance: all of the enemies Raiden fights throughout the game are cyborgs who, like himself, are practically entirely mechanical except for their brain. When he finally defeats Jetstream Sam, however, he discovers that his rival had virtually no cybernetic enhancements whatsoever. This is particularly prominent in the Japanese version of the game, where cyborgs bleed white artificial blood, but Sam bled red. | |
