A character with emotions or feelings that are beyond human (well, most humans), or at the very least, different from humans. Their pain and pleasure can be magnified to points we would find unbearable, they might have an extreme sense of empathy, or they might even have emotions that don't even exist for us. Or all of the above, and more. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })It's often found in a Superior Species, because what better way is there to denote superiority than simply being able to experience more than you. Likewise, an Eldritch Abomination almost always has this aspect as well, usually to shape part of their Blue-and-Orange Morality. Characters with inhuman emotions are prone to having Super Senses as well. Subtrope of Bizarre Alien Psychology. For a different kind of non-human feelings, see Bizarre Alien Senses. |

Avataro Sentai Donbrothers: Sonoza of the Noto Trio is a mentally disturbed man with a great interest in human emotions who is seemingly only capable of a superficial understanding of them. He tries to learn more about them by imitating any kind of reaction he witnesses and then asking anyone on the vicinity if what he did is the correct display of emotion for that situation in particular. Specifically, laughing seems what has caught his attention the most, wondering what it is and why humans do it. | |

Something like this is up with the Cenobites as described in The Hellbound Heart; they're so obsessed with pushing the fringes of sensory experience that they can't distinguish between pleasure and pain. Hence the problem with summoning them: if you ask them for the new kinds of pleasure they can give, they'll introduce you to every sensation they've experienced. | |

In the re-imagined V, the Hive Queen alien Anna and most members of her species insist that they do not feel human emotions despite the influence of their human skin. However, Anna is also a diligent Determinator who wants her species to survive and is ready to make great sacrifices for it. She later seems strangely overjoyed at the thought that her daughter will grow up to be just like her and save the species, despite the fact that she jeopardizes her well-being and safety without remorse to help the species. Eventually, this becomes a sort of Chekhov's Skill when her first human emotion is pain over her species being endangered by an attack. She cries, goes completely berserk and later feels maternal for the first time. | |

In a non-canon "Treehouse of Horror" episode of The Simpsons, Kang informs the Simpsons that if they had accompanied him to his home planet, they "would have experienced emotions a hundred times greater than what you call love and a thousand times greater than what you call fun." | |

In Foreigner (1994), the social structure of the atevi is determined by the emotion "manchi", which is not exactly understood by humans, though it has similarities to human notions of loyalty. | |

Cultural example — the trolls in Homestuck have a different perception of romance to humans, dividing it into four different kinds, with two of them sexual and two of them platonic; and consider true hate as erotic and stable an emotion as they consider true love. For the most part, the feelings themselves aren't that alien — what's alien is that trolls embark upon, say, negotiating between two people in a destructive romance with the same ferocity that we fall in love with people. In this case, it's Blue-and-Orange Morality, and the trolls are simply different from humans - not better, and not worse. | |

Star Trek: Sarek (a Vulcan) says that "emotions run deeply within our race, perhaps more deeply than in humans." The Expanded Universe and the later TV series have gone into more detail about this; the reason Vulcan culture is so big on logic and rationalism is that before that sort of thing caught on they fought more and bloodier wars than any other notable Trek race except possibly the Klingons, culminating in at least one nuclear exchange. | |

Inverted in The Color of Distance. The Tendu feel most major human emotions, but due to their Bizarre Alien Reproduction, which lacks a stage involving parents caring for helpless offspring for years, they find a human's bond with her baby to be unlike anything they've experienced. | |

The Parshendi of The Stormlight Archive experience emotions as a series of rhythms to which they can attune their thoughts and words (Resolve, Irritation, Praise, etc). A Parshendi can actively choose to attune a specific rhythm, but otherwise automatically attunes the one that matches their own emotions. | |

The vampires of The Vampire Diaries have an odd relationship with human emotion. They can voluntarily switch their emotions on or off as it suits them, though this ability is said to fade with age. When they do experience emotions, they experience the same emotions that they would have as their human selves, but magnified exponentially. For example joy becomes ecstasy, fear becomes terror, anger becomes rage, sadness becomes despair, etc. Or, as Caroline puts it: | |

Futurama: In one episode with the what-if machine, Bender references the emotionless state of a robot: "we don't have emotions, and sometimes that makes me very sad." In comparison to robots, at least, he may be exhibiting Inrobot Emotion. Parodied in "Why Must I Be a Crustacean in Love?" Decapodeans like Zoidberg do not "love" in the romantic, human sense of the term, but go through mating seasons where they pick a mate and die shortly after they mate. When Zoidberg has his eye on the female Edna, he receives wooing advice from Fry, eventually developing genuine romantic feelings for her in the process. When Zoidberg asks if the non-sexual infatuation he has for Edna is "love", Fry dismisses this as some sort of alien emotion. |

Warhammer 40,000: The Eldar are forced to be The Stoic as a race, because they are so incredibly emotional, whenever they allow themselves an outburst their evil god rips their souls from them and devours them. Space Marines also feel emotions more strongly than normal humans (except, allegedly, fear). The fan-created Angry Marines feel rage to an extent that boggles even other Space Marines; they have made unbridled righteous fury an art form. |

Daleks from Doctor Who feel no emotions other than hatred — incredibly intense hatred — for anything non-Dalek. They are capable of going insane, but this only magnifies the hatred they feel to the point it can't be properly directed. The sane Daleks consider such pure hatred to be beautiful. | |

Face in NES Godzilla Creepypasta is a being who appears early in each of the game's levels to give a quiz of Yes or No questions, which range from normal, to disturbing to nonsensical and shows a reaction to each answer, which more often than not, seems to make sense only to Face itself. Adding to this, while he has normal reactions like happiness, sadness, surprise, anger, etc. he also has a set of strange, nonsensical reactions like flipping upside-down, becoming a cyclops or getting Fish Eyes | |
