Humans Through Alien Eyes	comment	Stories that have humans interact with aliens who are actually alien run into the fact that we're as weird to them as they are to us. This can cause the most remarkable misunderstandings.... This is a heavily literary trope, because the basic concepts are easier to convey in writing. One variant has humans as cosmic abominations to primitive aliens. See also Culture Clash. Many times, they think Humans Are Ugly. This can also be used for a nice, satisfying Author Tract with the aliens puzzling "But why do they (insert the opposite of the author's worldview here)?" An Author Avatar alien can encounter humans and deliver the Author Tract through what for the alien (in-universe) is innocent questioning but for the author (out-of-universe) is Socratic irony. This works because, as we all know, an alien encountering human culture for the first time would reach conclusions that all agree with those of the author. If the aliens are the good guys, then it is Humans Are the Real Monsters. If the aliens are more socially and technologically advanced, it's Humans Are Morons. If the aliens want to figure out humanity, then Humanity Is Infectious. If the aliens completely freak out and go insane at the sight of humans, then it is Humans Are Cthulhu. It can result in Alien Arts Are Appreciated. Can overlap with Just the Introduction to the Opposites if humans and aliens switch roles, but the context is still the usual "aliens visit Earth" situation. Wildlife Commentary Spoof can overlap when it involves "alien" perspective of humans. See also Xenofiction, which does not necessarily feature humans, but takes the viewpoint of truly alien aliens. May be used to highlight Bizarre Alien Psychology or Biology.

Part of Doctor Manhattan's subplot deals with his humanity slowly fading as a result of his transformation into an omnipotent, non-linear entity. As such, he fails to understand why Laurie would be upset when he splits his consciousness between multiple bodies to make love to her more efficiently (while at least one additional copy of himself was simultaneously working in the lab). Later, when he teleports them both to Mars, he's initially confused when she suddenly starts choking, having honestly forgotten that humans can't survive without a suitable atmosphere and need to breathe.

First, it was largely about our Bizarre Alien Biology ("I keep forgetting humans need air!"), but later, it was more about culture and social norms. Ironically, she doesn't actually act very alien; she's simply like a very naÃ¯ve human from a very different culture who can't understand the one she's in.

Throughout the narrative, her bizarre new anatomy is referred to in equine or otherwise familiar terms ("flank", "dock", "barrel"; her hands are referred to as "paws" or "claws"). Lyra herself is referred to as a hominid or "furless bear-creature". She also spends most time naked or wrapped in a borrowed cloak since she doesn't know she's supposed to cover herself more, but the narrative never turns to fanservice and nopony finds her freakish appearance attractive anyway.

Every species the Thing has encountered thus far is capable of shapeshifting and merging with other cells just like the Thing, which cannot understand why this strange new 'world' violently resists its attempts to 'commune' and adapt its offshoots (people). On eventually realizing the nature of humanity — each offshoot is an individual 'thing', isolated and doomed to decay and death — the horrified alien realizes it has a duty to infiltrate humanity and bring about its 'evolution' by force.

Humans Through Alien Eyes / int_2ade1ae9	comment	Nobilis has the godlike Imperators having trouble understanding humans. Usually, this is used to show how limited Imperators are in their own way — Darklords, for example, understand human self-indulgence and short-sightedness, but have trouble with genuine compassion and can't make head or tails of martyrdom. It's also been played for comedy; one piece of advice for human Powers dealing with their Imperators is to sneeze, then run away while they're trying to figure it out. This remains the case in Chuubo's Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine. At least one character who's coded as an Imperator has sneezed and still finds the whole thing confusing.

Humans Through Alien Eyes / int_33728d94	comment	In Steven Brust's Dragaera books, the elf-like Dragaerans consider themselves "human" and real-world humans to be "Easterners". Most of the stories are told in civilization of the Dragaerans, causing this to happen occasionally. The Khaavren Romances series is told by a Dragaeran narrator who occasionally describes Easterners' curious physical appearance and gives his biased opinion on their culture, which is loosely based on Medieval Hungary. Vlad Taltos is a human who was raised in a Dragaeran city, causing him to have a somewhat alien perspective on his own species. For example, Dragaerans clap to announce their presence at the door. In one story, Vlad hears someone hammering on his door and thinks someone is trying to break in. He soon discovers that it's just an Easterner knocking.

Humans Through Alien Eyes / int_353bdeb0	comment	Humanx Commonwealth: Several stories, including Nor Crystal Tears and Phylogenesis, are told almost entirely from the POV of the insectoid thranx. As described in the first contact between Thranx and humanity, humans are rather effectively presented as Starfish Aliens — bizarrely, impossibly bipedal, revoltingly fluid in movement, and emitting eerie gargling yowls and shrieks. The main thranx character in Phylogenesis explicitly seeks humans out in order to find poetic inspiration in contact with such revolting creatures, and finds it amazing that their flesh doesn't just fall off their bones or their thin, naked skin tear open at the slightest provocation. However, both sides get over their negative first impression with some effort and get along great eventually.

The "two-legs" do weird things, like fly, build separate dwellings from each other and make "mouth noises" instead of speaking "normally" (i.e., telepathically). They also do scary things, like take down "death-fangs" (hexapumas) from a distance and remove areas of forest rapidly. In one short story that uses this, the treecats save the princess of Manticore.

Calvin does so because he is upset with how polluted Earth is, and decides he'd rather start over on a new planet. While on Mars, they come across a Martian. Calvin and Hobbes scream and run... but the Martian does the same. Calvin reasons that it doesn't make sense that the Alien would run from a Human until Hobbes reminds Calvin of humanity's reputation. Realizing they're intruding on a planet unspoiled by humans, Calvin apologizes to the hiding Martian, and both he and Hobbes return home; deciding that they should fix their own planet before taking other planets.

Humans Through Alien Eyes / int_42ffb88e	comment	SCP Foundation: A pretty common theme: It's implied that a very extreme version of this is the reason for SCP-682's Omnicidal Maniac tendencies — wherever it's from, life works very differently, and life as we know it is disgusting to it to the point that its gut reaction to living things is to try to make them stop. In support of this, it repeatedly refers to humans "disgusting". Presumably, if this is the case, the exact same property that makes SCP-053 a Creepy Child to humans makes it the only living thing that seems "normal" to SCP-682. On the other hand of the spectrum, we have SCP-962, which loves humanity and desperately wants us to like it. Its methods include building in imitation of us, writing and sending out books, and attempting to either eradicate or make cyborg servitors out of all nonhuman life. SCP-328 is a data disc from a Starfish Aliens equivalent of the Foundation, describing a highly mysterious and dangerous object they are attempting to study, which has claimed numerous researchers' lives already. It's a laptop. Played entirely for laughs with SCP-1171, a casually speciesist Starfish Alien. Another one that is played for laughs is this document about humans mostly written by intelligent carp. Played for drama with SCP-5058 ("Our Normal Fellow Humans"). When they find the Foundation's been intercepting their radio transmissions, they send a message containing an unusual Brown Note that when decoded reads as a "Leave us in peace" message: "Seeing hearing you. Study needed. Let our waves go, fellow humans."

Though termites are depicted as pretty much a copy of human civilization (for sake of being a satire on humanity), they still are tiny and perceive the world differently, making for some trouble in fully comprehending the homo culture. Earlier, Kurd LaÃŸwitz wrote the long short story Aus dem Tagebuch einer Ameise ("From the Diary of an Ant", written ca. 1890) in which one of the leaders of an antheap chronicles the efforts — including scientific expeditions — to explore those strange human beings, which apparently are the most advanced of the uncouth boned beasts, and tries to make sense of weird human concepts like "love" and "liberty".

Humans Through Alien Eyes / int_4dccad4c	comment	In The Swapper, we run into an instance of two species that mutually cannot understand each other. During an asteroid mining operation, humanity came across multiple rocks that somehow were sentient and able to communicate with each other telepathically. It turns out that after spending an extended amount of time with the rocks, human minds begin to connect with the rocks, allowing for communication to occur. The part where both are alien to each other is the fact that the rocks had zero concept of death, or even the concept of ending. As far as the rocks can tell, they always were and always will be, the idea of that changing is completely alien to them. And when the humans start dying due to the telepathy burning out their brains, the rocks become very confused and afraid, as they have no idea what happened to the voices of the humans that were communicating with them.

They think the human—Dr. Juna Saari—always looks embarassed thanks to her (brown) skin tone. The second book deals with two Tendu visiting Earth and finding it bizarre, wonderful and awful in turns. Notably, the books are remarkably evenhanded in portraying both Tendu and humanity as good in some ways, flawed in others, but not inherently beyond hope.

Elizabeth assumes that you have to run up the escalator the wrong way as a "test of strength" and that the jungle gym in the playground is a house. Theo thinks the circular running track at school is a metaphor, and when the protagonist answers his request for oil by bringing him a can of machine oil, he assumes this means you deep-fat fry machines in it: "I'll use it on Mech Fries next time!" Both of them interpret the police station's Missing Persons board as a list of bounty heads, comparing it to their own regular requests for the protagonist to go kill a certain type of Shadow and bring back 20 Bear Asses as proof of their strength, and so on.

Humans Through Alien Eyes / int_5afbc0cb	comment	Undertale has this with the monster population in the underground. They hadn't seen humans in ages since the war between monsters and humans. Many monsters resent humans since said humans sealed the monsters underground when the humans won the war. No human had appeared in the monsters' world until several human children had fallen down the mountain and the player character being the most recent one on the list. Many of the monsters and monster history books that talk about humans see them as strange beings that can't express their emotions through magic like monsters can while many other monsters have their own polarizing opinions on humans. Most monsters are so unfamiliar with humans that they don't even recognize that you're one, and the ones that do notice have varying opinions that can either change or be reinforced depending on how you play the game (i.e. Undyne starts off with a negative opinion of humans, but you can change that by saving her life and befriending her). Hatred of humans is treated very casually; Undyne flat-out tells the player character that their death will do more good than anything in life they can accomplish, Bratty and Catty are "soooo hyped for the destruction of humanity," and a book on souls that can be found in the library casually remarks that while souls are said to be made of love hope and compassion, "humans have proven their SOU Ls don't need these things to exist." In the Golden Ending, monsters and humans get over their differences and live in harmony.

Apparently the closest they have to a cat in Hell are... xenomorphs. Later chapters suggest that he simply doesn't comprehend human emotions or basic needs. For all his power and grace, his only known drives are hunger and the aforementioned love of cats, leaving human physical weakness and emotional complexities quite alien to him indeed.

For example, there's the Marat, a species of barbarian elf-like people who bind themselves to animal "totems" (forming an empathic link to another species, gaining aspects of their biology from them) and then form tribes around those totems (i.e. the Wolf Tribe, the Horse Tribe, etc). The Marat believe in fighting alongside one's totem, whereas humans prefer to wear armor and fight within fortifications, and are therefore referred to as the "Dead Tribe" and are thus considered weak. The Marat also do not believe in the concept of deliberate falsehoods (read: lying) and declaring that someone is "mistaken" is grounds for a trial by combat. They are, understandably, extremely perturbed by the humans' constant use of falsehoods, along with all the other contradictions of human society.

Humans Through Alien Eyes / int_6e1d5f36	comment	Farscape: The early episode "I, ET" where the heroes crash onto a planet where the culture resembles 1950s America. Besides Crichton this is actually "aliens through other alien eyes," but he's the main viewpoint character so it still works this way. Plus, rather unusually for the show, the locals are Rubber-Forehead Aliens and one of them is a bit disappointed when Crichton looks so much like them. Then she gets a look at Pilot. This happens a lot early on with the aliens constantly commenting on how deficient and generally strange humans are (John's constant pop culture references certainly don't help) but as time goes on the aliens start to befriend John and find that he is much more useful than he seems at first, what with his "improvisation" that always saves the day. Most aliens outside the main cast don't get a chance to think so as to them Crichton just appears to be a Sebacean anyway. This trope also occurs in the season 4 episode "A Constellation of Doubt" which shows a television program made on Earth using interviews with the aliens. While a lot of the show is just reinforcing human prejudices (perhaps a bit anviliciously), the aliens do make some good points about how wasteful humans are, how foolish intraspecies conflict is with the real dangers in the universe, how humans never give up (even when maybe they should), and the Unfortunate Implications of popularizing skimpy clothing, among other things. In a case of Human Planets Through Alien Eyes, Aeryn Sun finds a storm-swept Sydney Harbour quite beautiful. Although the script called for a fine day, it was decided to keep the line despite the non-cooperation of the weather as an example of this trope.

Humans Through Alien Eyes / int_6f6971b5	comment	In the Sector General series, human doctors can run mind tapes that enable them to pick up the knowledge of an alien doctor, so they can operate on extrerrestrials and feel greater empathy for their patients. However as you also pick up the psychology of the alien doctor, you also start seeing things from his perspective, and have difficulty walking on just two legs or seeing human members of the opposite sex as ugly and misshappen.

This is slightly different in the fact that the aliens are human enough that they initially mistake our heroes for rebels, but eventually a researcher at the museum believes them who they are say they are. In the end, the military lets the team return home, while covering up the entire incident with an official cover story involving a rebel attack (much to the researcher's dismay).

Humans Through Alien Eyes / int_73d7930f	comment	A frequent fixture of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, where Dr. Bashir of the Federation and Garak of the Cardassian Union offer one another's perspective on the other's culture, and where Quark frequently voices the opinion that the only reason humans are so nice in the future is because they have all their comforts. "The Way of the Warrior" has a dialogue between Quark and Garak (whose homeworlds aren't part of The Federation) in which they use root beer as a metaphor to describe the Federation. In the series finale "What You Leave Behind", Martok is bewildered by the refusal of the humans Sisko and Ross to join him in downing some bloodwine in the Cardassian Central Command over the bodies of a number of Cardassians. When the humans leave, he asks himself: who can understand humans?

Humans Through Alien Eyes / int_755b343f	comment	Halo: The instruction manual for the collector's edition of Halo 2 is written from the perspective of the Covenant, and as such is incredibly biased. For example, Covenant weapons are categorized as Noble Tools of Conquest, while human weapons are Primitive Implements of War. Some of the Halo: Combat Evolved: Anniversary terminals detail what about Guilty Spark thinks of the humans running around on his installation, particularly a certain one who's going around breaking everything. Most of the Halo 4 terminals take place from the Forerunners' point of view, with several exploring the Didact's and Librarian's views on humanity.

Humans Through Alien Eyes / int_77677ed1	comment	Sword of the Stars: The lizard-like Tarkas find humans disturbing in an uncanny valley-like fashion. We come across as androgynous and childlike, even cute, to the point that they find fighting us in boarding action difficult. Sort of like we would find it hard to shoot a race resembling 10-year olds in the face. Hivers find human individuality and ability to multipurpose puzzling, and think human perfumes are incredibly overpowering. They also zero in on females during boarding actions regardless of actual target value, instinctively attacking sources of estrogen — which, when fighting other Hivers, is how they aim for the queen. The Liir, psychic space dolphins, also find our tendency to eat other creatures disturbing, and find religion a highly puzzling concept. Hivers and Liir are the only races that have an easy time at all telling the difference between men and women due to a lack of obvious dimorphism (Hivers because of their sense of smell, Liir because they're Hermaphrodites and any dimorphism looks obvious).

Humans Through Alien Eyes / int_7832b74c	comment	Steven Universe: The Crystal Gems don't always understand humans despite being on Earth for thousands of years, partially because they've isolated themselves from humans for most of that time. Amethyst is the most worldly, but even she doesn't understand certain things. For example Pearl is horrified at eating and refuses to do so. And the Homeworld Gems, who do not live on Earth, have it far worse. Peridot, having not spent any length of time on Earth before, displays this even more flagrantly, asking if a towel, a comb, a toothbrush, and several other bathroom accoutrements were weapons. As Gems name themselves in a different fashion from humans, Peridot seems to initially believe that Steven is "a Steven" and asks if Stevens have supplanted humans as Earth's dominant species. Steven (unaware of the implications, and apparently under the impression that Peridot was referring to the fact that he is a Half-Human Hybrid) gives a short list of humans he knows. Homeworld takes this list as varieties of human, including "Mydad", "Themailman", and "Onionithink", and Aquamarine doesn't understand that asking various humans if they are "Mydad" is not going to accomplish much (at one point exasperatedly saying that she's not looking for "Yourdad" when such a thing is suggested). One of the more peculiar issues with Gems is that they're the only form of life in their ecosystem. Thus, many don't understand the difference between sapient, sentient, and non-sentient life — they're confused even more by nonhuman organic life. Lapis and Peridot thought that plants like corn, when grown well enough, would be able to walk around and talk (to be fair, Steven can make them do that). Jasper has treated people, insects, and blades of grass as if they were equally capable of consciously invading her space.

Humans Through Alien Eyes / int_7988cb68	comment	Mass Effect actually has references to how aliens respond to the oddness of humans, as well as each other. For example : Liara T'Soni, one of the recruitable party members, finds humans to be quite odd and strange at first, with their short lifespans clashing with her own (at 106 she's the oldest person on the ship, aside from Wrex, despite being twenty something by asari standards). In the novel Mass Effect: Revelation, a batarian businessman spends a good paragraph describing all the aspects of humans that he hates and how strange they look compared with his own species. The main reason for the latter is that to batarians everyone with less than four eyes looks stupid and unsophisticated — presumably because they are unable to form expressions that the batarians would recognize as cultured. The turians in general take duty very seriously. Conscription on their homeworld, marking the beginning of adulthood as well as citizenship, is mandatory for all turians between the ages of 15 and 30. Those who choose to leave active military service at the end of this term nonetheless remain as part of the reserve forces and can be called to action at any time. When the Alliance liberates Shanxi from turian occupation, the turians are surprised that a species that hasn't even expanded enough to have made any previous first-contact is able to turn them back at all. When the First Contact War is settled diplomatically and things cool off a little, the turians are even more surprised to learn that only 3% of eligible humans of military age actually choose to serve in the Alliance. Since there is no such thing as a turian civilian, they regard bombarding houses from orbit to flush out defenders as a legitimate tactic and can't understand why humans regard the Shanxi invasion as unnecessarily brutal (which would really only make sense if they hadn't already been in contact and wars with all the other species who ''also'' don't follow their model of citizen-soldiers). Another look at the Values Dissonance between acceptable military tactics is highlighted in the third game. During the Tuchanka arc, Shepard can react aghast that after the blatant war crime of releasing the genophage against the krogan, the turian military compounded it by having no problem with leaving a giant bomb buried on Tuchanka, while Garrus admits that while he thinks it went too far, it made sense to have an insurance policy in case the krogan decided to get "uppity" again. Similarly, during the Rannoch arc, Tali is shocked when Garrus cavalierly suggests orbital bombardment to flush out the geth groundside, pointing out that he wants to help recover her homeworld by rendering part of it uninhabitable. Shepard can also ask Grunt if any of the tank imprints he's received deal with humans. The krogan's response is that humans are physically frail compared to krogans, and that he only needs to penetrate a blade a krogan finger's depth to sever a human's spine. He next states that everybody is physically frail compared to the krogan, and humans are on the weaker end of the scale. According to Wrex, the only reason a krogan will follow another krogan is because he thinks the other would win if they fought. He is therefore somewhat mystified that not only do Kaidan and Ashley not want to comment on fighting with Shepard, but actively deny having ever thought about it. The geth are the best example of this in the series, although it applies to all sapient species. The geth are a race of artificial intelligence programs who are in constant contact with each other. They know each other's thoughts, and make decisions based on consensus, thoroughly discussing an issue with each other at the speed of light. Bodies are also considered unimportant, because they can just upload themselves to any type of form they might need. They also don't truly die, simply being uploaded to a different body if one is destroyed. To them, being alone is not just impossible but completely alien and unknowable. Every geth that joins a collective makes that collective more intelligent as a whole, able to process data faster and see things from different viewpoints; while a lone geth is more or less inanimate, a thing of programmed responses and reactions, barely even an animal. They don't understand how other species function without achieving consensus (rather than "forcing" consensus, as democracies do), and tend to describe things in their own terms (an organic's body is referred to as "hardware"; having reactions shaped by it is considered rather weird by the "software" geth). They really want to understand organics, but it's difficult because of how different they are, combined with having trouble understanding organic emotions. Interestingly, the geth seem to be developing emotions of their own, even if they don't realize it. Though it's interesting to note that Legion seems unable to understand why the Heretics, (a rogue faction of Geth that worship the Reapers), would do such a thing as implant spies in their networks, since among the Geth there is no such thing as deceit. When the Heretics chose to leave the Geth Consensus, the others freely let them go, since they believed that all life should self-determinate, even if they did not agree with their decision. The fact that the Heretics are capable of subterfuge and actively seek to undermine them was something they never considered. Played for laughs in a (sadly cut) line from a turian security guard. "Excuse me for asking, but... you're a female, right? You've got those funny bumps, like an asari." The angara from Mass Effect: Andromeda run the whole gamut. Some are intrigued by humans, some suspicious, some just outright disgusted by their very existence. One angara sends an e-mail to the Initiative asking if humans always looked the way they have, or if they changed it to look more appealing to the angara. At least one thinks humans are boring (but those asari, on the other hand, who they wanna see more of). In a brief conversation, we get to hear Nakmor Drack's first thoughts on hearing about humans — "they're so brave for travelling all that way. Do they know they're made of water?"

Humans Through Alien Eyes / int_7d1f75f6	comment	Footfall, (also) by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle: The alien invaders are shocked that humans are willing to destroy large swaths of their own territory with nuclear weapons rather than let the aliens hold onto their initial conquests to use as forward bases for further assaults. The result is that it honestly never occurred to them that humans would attack their initial invasion forces with nuclear missiles, so they took no precautions against it. They lost a lot of soldiers as a result. The alien invaders reflexively remain submissive once they've surrendered to an opponent. One winds up becoming adviser to the President. While he's obviously vital in helping the humans understand the perspective of the aliens, they're very careful to keep it a secret from him that the humans don't trust him implicitly and wholeheartedly. The aliens on the home planet find it difficult to understand beings that will pick themselves up after a defeat and come back for a rematch. This includes understanding that the humans that they've captured cannot be trusted implicitly and wholeheartedly. The key to the lack of understanding is that the aliens are herbivores and herd animals. They cannot conceive of intelligent life being anything else, so when the humans act differently to what they expect — such as having sex with someone other than an acknowledged mate — they can only think that the humans they meet have gone rogue (like elephants), i.e., are insane. As events unfold, they start to wonder if the entire human species is insane.

Elizabeth assumes that you have to run up the escalator the wrong way as a "test of strength" and that the jungle gym in the playground is a house. Theo thinks the circular running track at school is a metaphor, and when the protagonist answers his request for oil by bringing him a can of machine oil, he assumes this means you deep-fat fry machines in it: "I'll use it on Mech Fries next time!" Both of them interpret the police station's Missing Persons board as a list of bounty heads, comparing it to their own regular requests for the protagonist to go kill a certain type of Shadow and bring back 20 Bear Asses as proof of their strength, and so on. In the prior games, talking to demons may prompt them to ask questions about human behavior (why we go to school, what tears taste like, what the point of money is, etc.) and usually won't believe accurate answers, but they will accept outlandish things that match their own personalities.

Humans Through Alien Eyes / int_90c73dda	comment	Animorphs: Of particular note from the main series, humans are, apparently, the only tailless, fully-bipedal species that the Andalites have heard of. They are continually astounded by our ability to walk without falling down. The main series features Ax, a Token Andalite who morphs into a human, and books from his perspective are naturally ripe with alien commentary on human foibles. He's amazed by how quickly human technology advances, many of our cultural practices, and being a mouthless telepath, thinks of talking and taste as Bizarre Alien Senses (which often trip him up). He also loves television, especially "These Messages" (advertising). The Andalite Chronicles is a Prequel from Elfangor's perspective, and kicks off when he rescues two captured aliens from The Greys. Having had even less experience with humans then Ax, a lot of his narration is spent on his view of us—being shocked and appalled when Loren takes off her "hoof" (shoe), puzzlement over what humans eat, distaste for our music, and so on. Visser is a villain novel from the viewpoint of a Yeerk, Visser One. We're the perfect species for them to conquer in terms of biology, technological weakness and especially population size, but she quickly finds that Humanity Is Infectious.

That said, she doesn't really understand a lot of things about the alien's being, culture, and society, likely because the alien describes things in very eloquent ways...and being put off by it is only taken further once she's put into a human body for herself. However, after the girl apologizes for insulting her, in turn, the alien comments that the girl looks odd to her as well. The alien also makes comments about the girl's culture being shy about sexuality (which she often forgets, to both of their dismays) and wonders if leaving family members' corpses in the bathroom is a norm in the girl's culture.

The common Forerunner view is that Humans Are the Real Monsters and little different, in form and manner, from animals (mostly because the Forerunners made them that way). The characters the trilogy focuses on, being more familiar with the species, generally see humans as Worthy Opponents, great warriors, and even truly special, for the most part.

Humans Through Alien Eyes / int_a183d57f	comment	Futurama: Played for Laughs as part of The Reveal of "War Is the H-Word", when Earthican troops are sent to fight against invaders on an alien planet, only to find out... In "Fear on a Bot Planet", we see how a planet of human-hating robots view humans, specifically as the monsters in crappy B-movies. This is the result of a lot of fear-mongering by the planet's leaders. In "I, Roommate," Fry moves in with his Robot Buddy Bender only to discover that robots sleep standing up in "apartments" the size of closets and that Bender isn't expecting him to live any differently. When they look at a human-sized apartment instead, Bender is dissatisfied until he finds a broom closet, which he happily claims as his bedroom. By the end of the episode, the roles are reversed when Fry finds out that Bender's apartment has its own closet the size of a human apartment. Despite not needing to eat (or having any sense of taste), Bender loves to prepare food, but is pretty unclear on the concept where it applies to his human friends. At best he's offered Fry a whole cabbage as a snack. At worst... "T: The Terrestrial" plays out a role reversal of ET: The Extraterrestrial in which young Omicronian Jrrr is the boy and Fry, stranded on Jrrr's planet, is the homesick alien that forms a bond with him. By the time Bender finds Fry, he's been taken to an Omicronian vet.

Humans Through Alien Eyes / int_a7a0b48b	comment	NieR: Automata: One of the main themes is the attempts of nonhuman beings to understand what it is to be human. The world is now populated with Androids and robots created by aliens. Throughout the game, we see the robots attempting to understand human things such as theater, sex, children, romance and love, etc, but coming up with a warped or misunderstood version of it due to them simply not understanding. For instance, all the robots that served under the King of the Forest wanted to repay him for his many years of service when his aged frame finally broke down, so they put his consciousness inside of a baby robot body and chose to protect him until he had grown up again so he could lead again. However, as machines cannot grow, he remained a baby for hundreds of years. Ironically though, we never learn how the ACTUAL aliens in the game saw humanity, as they had died out long before the story begins, killed by their robot creations.

Humans Through Alien Eyes / int_b747108f	comment	Out of the Dark: There's a lot of discussion among the Shongairi about how "perverse" the humans are. Their biggest issue with us is that we don't automatically submit to someone who has demonstrated great strength by wiping out 2 billion humans in a single day. To them, the humans are either clinically insane or are utterly dishonorable for continuing to resist. It takes a lot of research for their chief psychologist to determine why: unlike the majority of the galactic races, humans are neither a "herd" nor a "pack" race. Our primary unit is the family, although the term can extend up to and including an entire country. We also don't share their ideas of honor, especially where it includes unconditional submission to a more powerful enemy. It also takes them a while to realize that the one human ruler, who has submitted to them (the Governor of North Carolina) has, in fact, been playing them from the get-go, feeding information to guerilla groups and actively sabotaging the Shongairi efforts. There is also a race of herbivores at the beginning of the novel, who survey Earth in the 15th century and are horrified by the mindless savagery displayed by the humans at the Battle of Agincourt.

Humans Through Alien Eyes / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000 gives us a reasonable estimation of how the alien races see humans: The Orks think we're fun to fight against, but slightly confusing as they can't tell who's in charge (we're all about the same size). The Eldar think we're unsubtle childish thugs with limited intelligence and no appreciation for the dangers of the galaxy we live in (for the record, we totally do). The Tau think we're fanatical and primitive, but have promise as a subject species. Redemption on Dal'yth, a short story told exclusively from the perspectives of various Tau, shows them to regard humanity as race of Space Orcs — a barbaric, primitive race who only achieved their advanced technology through dumb luck, not unlike the actual Orks. The Space Marine from a notably barbaric chapter in particular is seen as a terrifying monstrosity that can't be reasoned with and only seeks to kill them all. The Tyranids think we're tasty when we happen to get in their way. The Genestealer Cults think we're pathetic and unenlightened for not seeing the Hive Mind's majesty. The Necrons think we're dust to be purged along with the rest of the galaxy, potential biotransference vessels, or backwards and warlike primitives that plunder, destroy and cannot be reasoned with, depending on the tomb world. The Dark Eldar think we're fun playthings. The Leagues of Votann see us as distant cousins who really need to mind their own business.

Ogres: Big Fun. Very good fightin', sometimes dey even pay Orcs to fight for dem. Dark Elves: Good fights, but tricky gits. Sometimes they recruit Orcs to fight for them, but these alliances never last long. High Elves: Very good fights, even if they don't come up often. Orcs and especially Goblins fear them because more Boyz don't spawn after fights with them. Bretonnia: Less loot than the Empire but better for fights, especially the fancy gitz on the horses. Lizardmen: Big lizards are super-killy and better fights than Bretonnia, but even less loot, unless deyz attacking a Lizardmen city wif lotz of gold. Vampires: The Bludd-drinkas are very good fights, close to Lizardmen and Ogres. Their undead minions, not so much, but derez lotz of 'em and dey get back up when you krump 'em. Loot is slim pickingz. Warriors of Chaos: Glorious fights, probably da best of all. Spiky, dead 'ard and like fightin' as much as Orcs do. Skaven: Sneaky gitz and very bad fights, but at least dere's lotz of 'em so plenty of loot and food afterwards. One White Dwarf article has a Lizardmen scribe's impression of a human explorer's visit. The Lizardmen are very much not human; they have physically distinct castes (quick and nimble Skinks, burly and warlike Saurus, towering and spectacularly dumb Kroxigors) with the top caste (the froglike Slann) having been literally created by the setting's Precursors. They essentially don't have an economy and think gold is mostly useful because it doesn't corrode, making it an excellent data storage material since it won't rust in the jungle they live in. As a result, the scribe in question — a Skink priest — found that encounter with a money-grubbing human explorer outright bewildering.

Humans Through Alien Eyes / int_c4282b71	comment	The "Human in Equestria" concept has become so prolific in the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fanfic community, that FIMfiction.net (the most popular MLP fanfic website) had to create a "Human" tag just to accommodate it. ARTICLE 2 is about a human spaceship crashing into Equestria. The story is told from the perspective of the Equestrians. Played straight as well as inverted in the Human in Equestria fanfic Arrow 18 Mission Logs and the two stories that make it up. The first, Lone Ranger, is written from the perspective of the human scientist. The other, Twilight Sparkle's Notes, is this trope, and is written from the perspective of Twilight Sparkle instead. An unusual example in The Writing on the Wall, as the humans are all long since dead, but left behind a warning for anything which came afterwards, regardless of what it was. Too bad Daring Do was Wrong Genre Savvy and assumed the eponymous writing was a curse meant to warn away tomb robbers and instead doomed the team to dying from radiation poisoning from the nuclear waste the building housed. Pink Personal Hell And Altering Fate has Pinkie Pie mention how she finds humans to be weird. In the Lunaverse sidestory Helping... hands?, Lyra ends up turned into a human by a miscast zebra ritual (and unlike her fanonical depiction, she does not enjoy it). Throughout the narrative, her bizarre new anatomy is referred to in equine or otherwise familiar terms ("flank", "dock", "barrel"; her hands are referred to as "paws" or "claws"). Lyra herself is referred to as a hominid or "furless bear-creature". She also spends most time naked or wrapped in a borrowed cloak since she doesn't know she's supposed to cover herself more, but the narrative never turns to fanservice and nopony finds her freakish appearance attractive anyway. Rainbow Dash Reads Homestuck starts off with a pegasus observing John Egbert and being confused at his antics. It only gets worse when the askers explain arms to her — of course, knowing Dash (and her former best friend has hands regardless) this is probably just her ego speaking:

Humans Through Alien Eyes / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: The Doctor usually likes humans, but isn't beyond rebuking them, either. Appears in the first ever story, "An Unearthly Child". "Before your ancestors invented the wheel my people had made time-and-space travel into child's play!" While Leela is a human, she was reared on a colonised planet in a roughly Neolithic culture â€” and the Doctor is, of course, an alien. This results in things like the Doctor and Leela armchair-anthropologising about the "Cockney tribe". We get a double dose of this when the companion is Romana, a fellow Time Lord with less knowledge of, and a more detached view of, humans. Cue things like loud, public discussions of how the Mona Lisa compares to other works of art in different galaxies. "Voyage of the Damned" has Astrid Peth, a Human Alien from an impoverished planet who got hired as a waitress on an interstellar cruise ship just to get away and experience the majesty and glamour of... a typical street in London, at night, with everyone hiding (after the horror of the last two years of alien invasions). She's still amazed by everything, including the horrible stench — to the Doctor's surprise, as due to his familiarity with Earth, he sees it as an average human would. "Planet of the Dead": "You look human." "You look Time Lord." This is phrased very similarly by the Eleventh Doctor in an exchange with Amy Pond in "The Beast Below". It could become one of their standard responses.

While Nessy is charitable enough to acknowledge that his unclad body might be attractive to his own species, to her it's just comical: gangling and clumsy-looking, with absurd little patches of fur scattered arbitrarily around his otherwise-bald frame. In The Last Adventure Of Constance Verity (same author), a spider-like alien whose stiff-skinned species conveys emotion via scents is horrified by humans' flexible facial features, and assumes that smiling or sneering must be physically painful to them.

Humans Through Alien Eyes / int_cfbcd69f	comment	Leaving the Cradle: The story focuses on first contact with the humans, so this is to be expected: During Chapter 2, when Zane Htrua Sha asks Quantum, an artificial consciousness, for a progress update on translating our language families, he's taken aback when he learns that there is around 150 of them. The reason he's shocked at this has not yet been revealed. On the next page, Quantum manages to gain access to our network and they grow worried upon seeing our stories on the subject of aliens, as it depicts them as malicious invaders and monsters. For the AC personally, they are especially concerned on stories with or about artificial consciousnesses being treated as either nothing more than slaves or as a threat that needs to be put down, and overall fears a potential repeat of the Vainur incident. Zane is quick to call him out on his bias and points out that his species were making fiction similar to ours before the Space Age.

The Scuttlers' isolation, which bought them some time before the Inhibitors attacked them, suggests she may have been right.

Everything you could ever want to know can be looked up the Great Library — which leads to cultural clashes; for instance, few alien languages even have a word for "change". Many chapters are told via point-of-view characters who are either aliens, dolphins, or chimpanzees.

Nocturne, a similarly eldritch being with the equally cheery title the Eternal Nightmare, finds life as we know it — including humans, and especially summoners — to be disgusting and offensive, and goes out of his way to annihilate as much of it as possible. Vel'Koz, yet another monster from the void, sees humanoid creatures as something that just doesn't make sense, but rather than approach them with disgust like Cho'Gath, he approaches them with curiosity and wants to learn more about them. Unfortunately for his subjects, he imposes his own eldritch resilience onto humans, and seems surprised that they can't regrow limbs or survive without their dermis.

Upon arriving, we learn that Ben is considered hideous and a monster. Ben finds it hard to understand why he would be viewed as monstrous, despite Rook calling him a hypocrite for not even considering that on a world he isn't native to that he was the alien. In Ben's defense, it is rather arbitrary that such a diverse population considers just humans weird, and Ben himself thought that they were cool.

They end up thinking at the end of the chapter that Star Trek was a documentary, the Earth is infested with Kaiju, the Third Reich was the good guy in World War II, and that the Earth is secretly ruled by an evil dictatorship that brainwashed everyone into believing they're monotheists.

Just how ugly are humans? Their necks move, meaning that humans all look as if they are casually suffering from grotesquely broken necks, and things go only uphill from there.

While RPG logic labels goblins as low-level Mooks designed to introduce a plucky hero to a fantasy world, Nog sees families grieving their maimed and killed siblings, parents, and children. To the goblins, adventurers are barbarians who attack from the brush unprovoked, forcing the goblins to flee for their lives to survive. Fights that would normally be a footnote in an adventurer's journey are life-changing for the goblins. Nog and Gubble go undercover as adventurers in an attempt to understand why adventurers are so insistent on hunting goblins. Nog marvels at Mulros Town's advanced technology, plentiful food, and enormous buildings relative to his goblin village of Rektoros. But that wonder is soon accompanied by horror when he learns that adventurers sell goblin body parts and linens to make these amazing conveniences. He also struggles to grasp how some adventurers can take such glee is killing other intelligent beings for sport.

Humans Through Alien Eyes / int_f74b5f80	comment	Babylon 5: This was often used as a source of humor throughout the show, primarily with the aliens' various responses to human pop culture and cuisine. Of particular note is Londo's very vocal frustration with the absolute meaninglessness of the Hokey Pokey (Draal, meanwhile, rather liked it, but was advised by Delenn not to tell Londo that.) Jokes were similarly had at the expense of well-meaning humans trying to understand various alien customs and cuisine, such as Sheridan's abject failure to successfully cook a Minbari dish to woo Delenn. In the episode "Babylon Squared" Delenn tells the Grey Council of her observations of humans, and concludes that because humans build communities in ways that none of the other races do, they have a great destiny ahead of them.

Humans Through Alien Eyes / int_f96e5d92	comment	A World of Difference: The Minervans (Martians) cannot comprehend that any of the American (or Soviet) crew could possibly be female until a Minervan "prince" out for a walk sees two of the Americans without their "outer skins" after investigating an odd noise coming from behind a rock due to the fact that their females are basically baby factories that live to sexual maturity, get pregnant, then bleed out when they give birth. Mercifully for the females, it seems nature provides them with some sort of anesthesia. Note that the males don't particularly like this little fact, they just can't do anything about it with medieval tech. One of the Minervans gets blinded in three of his eyes by a camera flash, leaving him only able to see out of the three on his other side. He's utterly terrified until his vision clears. This same alien later goes into battle with another tribe that snagged a Soviet AK-74 while an American with a pistol helps. Then an American ultralight drops a jumbo-sized molotov cocktail on the alien with the AK, causing the friendly alien to shudder at the concept of a battle with noise-weapons everywhere and fire falling from the sky. To put the true horror of this into perspective, Minervans evolved to live in a climate cold enough that ice is a common building material. Hot water is a weapon of war. Napalm would be like a nuke, but we can only imagine about what they would think a nuke would be like.

He chooses Lunella for this purpose, having her explain human relationships and things like eating food.

It only gets worse when the askers explain arms to her — of course, knowing Dash (and her former best friend has hands regardless) this is probably just her ego speaking:

Humans Through Alien Eyes / int_fb9c177d	comment	Transformers: In Transformers: Animated, Optimus Prime makes the mistake of asking how new humans are manufactured. We don't actually hear the answer Sari whispers into Prime's ear, but judging from his shocked expression, it seems safe to assume she told him the truth.◊ Bulkhead and Bumblebee also saw Sari with a robot dog and thought she was the pet. Transformers: Rescue Bots gets a lot of mileage from this trope. Optimus tells the Rescue Bots that they have to learn more about humanity by living among them. They deal with a lot of confusion on Earth. They don't grasp the concept of Earth seasons. Blades describes birthdays as "setting the dessert on fire and reassembling a donkey", and the holiday with the lit-up tree is Arbor Day. Blades also says that a lot of human things don't make sense, like hot dogs, which aren't pets.

He's captured by one, and being a xenobiologist starts describing the "ugly hominid", concluding with his final thought as he's drugged to unconsciousness: "F---ing humans..."

Humans Through Alien Eyes / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Star Trek: The Next Generation: In the first season episode "The Naked Now", when Captain Picard cuts off Data before he can finish repeating an obscene limerick being broadcast from the shuttlebay by calling security, Data asks if he had said something wrong, to which Worf replies that he doesn't understand human humor either. The episode "First Contact" focuses on the aliens' view of their initial contact with The Federation. The opening is particularly effective, as the doctors are trying to treat an unconscious Riker (who was in disguise and doing research on their culture), and gradually realize with a mix of awe and dread that none of his organs make any sense to them. In early seasons Deanna Troi and her mother Lwaxana, from Betazed, would comment about how humans think differently from their species. In particular it was noted that humans often "say one thing, and think another" or engage in internal dialogues with themselves that can, to a mind reader, give the appearance of multiple personalities. This is used in one episode to explain why Deanna sensed an alien jumping from one crewmember to another, but didn't realize that it actually was a distinct alien and not just a case of humans having multiple levels of thoughts. Since their entire species is telepathic, Betazoids are much more open about their thoughts and tend to just say exactly what they think, even if by humans standards doing so is rude. There's also the episode "Home Soil", wherein one of the life-forms native to Velara III describes humans as "ugly bags of mostly water".
