Okay, everyone knows that Evil Cannot Comprehend Good, right? And The Spock or Emotionless Girl can't really understand why humans do such crazy things. And don't even get us started on gods and Eldritch Abominations. This is when some being (often one on a higher plane of existence) finds humanity interesting, amusing, or otherwise engaging, often enough to attempt to become one of them (or at least disguise themselves as such). This is often the source behind Half Human Hybrids, where the inhuman half is Intrigued by Humanity enough to marry or mate with one. An Emergent Human or someone who wishes to Become a Real Boy may have this as their reason for becoming more human. This trope is probably related to Humans Are Special—even god-like beings and Sufficiently Advanced Aliens find us fascinating! This trope isn't always related to Become a Real Boy though. Oftentimes you will see incredibly powerful beings who would consider themselves far superior to humans, and would be outright insulted at any suggestion that they may wish to become human. And yet they still find humans to be fascinating little critters. Most entomologists would find insects to be intriguing and fascinating, after all, and yet... Note that this is a purely intellectual trope, seen from the side of the one Intrigued by Humanity. Humanity finding itself fascinating doesn't count, nor does every instance of inter-species romance where one partner is human. Compare Humanity Is Infectious, The Xenophile (the human equivalent). Alien Arts Are Appreciated may ensue. Klingons Love Shakespeare is a subtrope where a specific aspect of human culture holds aliens' interest. In the case of the Green-Skinned Space Babe, this becomes equivalent to What Is This Thing You Call "Love"?. See also Humans Are Special. A Fantastic Anthropologist will often be this. It should also go without saying that the degree to which characters may be into humanity's quirks often varies. This trope crosses with Easily Impressed when basically every facet of humanity dazzles them. |

The Salvation War: Archangel Michael. In ancient times, he thought humans were these wimpy, subservient beings beneath his notice. But as humanity grew in both technology and in reason, he found himself fascinated and impressed with human goods and ingenuity. It's also why he betrays and overthrows God in the end, since he knew it would only be a matter of time before humanity got to Heaven, and he wanted to protect the Angelic Host from destruction. | |

The Mighty Thor: Thor might as well be the poster boy for this, developing into a love for Earth that transcends millennia, to the point that even as a very old man, he's willing to fight Galactus for the sake of Earth, despite the fact that it's dead and deserted, because he still loves it and because he loved humanity. Asgardians in general classically tend to be, at the very least, curious about humanity, and while some regard humans as being lesser, most of them have a definite respect for humanity's courage and perseverance and a strange fascination with our numerous foibles. Loki was a notable aversion with his disdain for anything mortal for long (except women apparently). Until he died in the Siege and was reborn as a child, when he not only became the most prominent example, but reached Sense Freak/Pop-Cultured Badass levels. He even moved to Manhattan. |

In Anthropology, Lyra behaves much like an obsessed ufologist in our world, convinced that humans are or at least were real. The series deals with the problems and worries this causes her surroundings, Lyra's growing paranoia that the government is covering up the existence of humans and the revelation that humanity is real, but extinct in Equestria. However, there are humans in a parallel that appears to be our planet Earth. A bigger revelation is that Lyra herself used to be human, and it's implied that her obsession with humanity stems from her subconscious remembering that she was formerly human. | |

Illyria from the fifth season of Angel, which is definitely a precursor of a more serious case of Become a Real Boy. As God King of the Old Ones, Illyria starts out purely contemptuous of humans. But being reborn into a human body with full access to the human's memories results in her becoming more and more intrigued by them. | |

But Earth music, particularly music from western pop-culture, becomes extremely popular with the Imperial citizenry. Christian missionaries, captured by the Empire, manage to escape from Imperial captivity and gain some traction converting a minority of Imperial citizens to Christianity. | |

The Night Unfurls inverts this for Kyril. Once a man, he is now a great one who appears as a human to communicate with others normally. Rather than seeing humanity in general as fun, fascinating or admirable, Kyril believes that humans tend to have Delusions of Grandeur and invincibility, due to perceiving themselves as "pure" and special, in spite of the fact that they bleed like the rest. It's all the more surprising when he nevertheless decides to combat the people's own failings to help them. | |

Mr. Weasley from Harry Potter qualifies, being a wizard obsessed with all things muggle. He seems to prefer making up his own explanations to doing actual research though. His intrigue is a little off, however. He's fascinated by things like "muggle money" despite wizards also having money (with a direct exchange rate). | |

Kaworu from Neon Genesis Evangelion is characterized by this. He's an angel, but he has a human appearance, likes classical music and heavily empathizes with Shinji, who he sees as a prime example of mankind's ability to persist even in the face of despair and hopelessness, eventually taking the decision of making the ultimate sacrifice for him. It is this love of humanity which makes him so notable, since he's much better adjusted than anyone else in the series. One might say this is the source of his popularity. It's even more amazing since Kaworu isn't just any Angel — he's Adam (more specifically he is Adam's soul in a human clone body just as Rei is Lilith in a human clone body), the progenitor of the other antagonistic Angels. | |

The third Galaxy Angel installment, Eternal Lovers, has Wein, a Valfask agent sent to infiltrate the Elsior under the guise of an escaped prisoner from Eden. He shows an almost obsessive interest in learning about the power of human hearts, and while at first he's convinced that hearts are powerful but fragile and unstable, the fact that Tact and his chosen Angel manage to repair and even strengthen the bond he tried to destroy makes him start questioning his previous beliefs. Eventually, he decides to save Lushati when his superiors order him to execute her, and brings her back to Eden at the cost of his own life. | |

Discworld: Death finds humanity very interesting, and has created his domain in the style of a human house, even if he hasn't grasped all the subtleties of why the fittings and items inside look like they do. (For example, he has a bathroom despite being a skeleton who doesn't bathe or eat, and this bathroom has a towel rack hung with towels as solid as wood.) Played with in Thief of Time with the Auditors. They think themselves to be above humanity, and they despise (or they would if they had emotions) any individuality, but when they assume a human body, they become intrigued about their new feelings and senses, as much as they refuse to admit it. This trope has led to such improbable Character Development as the original Bogeyman evolving into the Tooth Fairy over thousands of years because he had the epiphany that young children were so vulnerable, as using even a single tooth with a spell could make the child believe whatever the caster wants, someone should protect them. |

Kamen Rider Blade: Hajime Aikawa came across an Undead as it mortally wounded a climber in the mountains and became curious when the man asked him to take care of his family instead of trying to save himself. Hajime went along with it and actually became fond of living with Kuriharas despite having a little understanding of humans outside of them and lacking grasp on human emotions. Eventually, The Power of Friendship leads him to realizes that Humans Are Special and powerful because they have emotions and care about each other. | |

Kamen Rider Build: Catching Evolt's attention is very unfortunate predicament. He adores ruining lives in crafty ways, torturing people, manipulating or corrupting them to be their worst selves and causing chaos en masse. The thing that intrigues him about humanity is mainly the potential to be awful and then the ability to adapt (he is named Evol, after all) to the pressure he creates. | |

Fallout: New Vegas: The Think Tank in Old World Blues mostly regard humans with bewilderment and revulsion, having long ago shed their own bodies... mostly, that is, except for Dr. Dala. In contrast to her colleagues, she is fascinated to the point of obsession with human physiology and anatomy, and her interest in "formography" is treated by the others as a perverse fetish. They're not far off: she is obviously turned on by just talking about humans, and her reaction to the Courier simply breathing for her is something to behold. | |

A Mighty Demon Slayer Grooms Some Ponies does this to the My Little Pony 'n Friends character Heart Throb, a highly romantically minded pony. She has read so much of Megan's human stories that she finds herself unrealistically pining for a grand wedding with a handsome hunk, and thinks only among humans can truly beautiful love be found. Unfortunately, at the time, the ponies are still desperately trying to preserve their species, which has a highly unbalanced gender ratio, so every mare must become a part of a stallion's harem. | |

The Eternals villain Druig, of all people, seems to sincerely like humans a lot. He may be an utterly horrible immortal, but he claims he finds them worthy of respect and study — and wants to see what they eventually grow into. However, the humans he counts as friends may not be the most pleasant people — e.g., Subutai's Mongol horde. | |

The Owl House: Gus is fascinated by humans and human culture, so much so that he's president of Hexside's "Human Appreciation Society" club, which is mostly centered on gawking at everyday items from Earth. Even the nickname "Gus" comes from this; his full name is Augustus, and Luz casually bringing up the name's common shortening during their first meeting filled him with such delight at the idea of a "human nickname" he adopted it on the spot. | |

Played with in Thief of Time with the Auditors. They think themselves to be above humanity, and they despise (or they would if they had emotions) any individuality, but when they assume a human body, they become intrigued about their new feelings and senses, as much as they refuse to admit it. | |

Some of the Gems in Steven Universe have a certain fascination with humans, but none more so than Rose Quartz. While initially seeing them as little more than cute animals, her relationship with Greg led to a much deeper love and understanding, to the point where she chose to have a child with him at the cost of her physical form. Amethyst isn't quite so enamored, but she does have a soft spot for cheesy sitcoms and human food (even though she doesn't need it and it may not actually BE food). Peridot also grows begrudgingly fascinated by human culture while working to save the Earth (but mostly herself) from the Cluster. | |

If an alien doesn't consider humans annoying or dangerous, they're feeling this trope in Mass Effect. This even extends to the Reapers, ever since Commander Shepard started screwing up all of their plans In Mass Effect 2, the justicar Samara admits that humans are weirdly individualistic and divisive, and she likes them.

Averted in Avatar. Relations between the humans of the Hell's Gate colony and the Na'vi used to be better, with Grace and the AVTR program even setting up a school for teaching English and the like. However, whatever fascination the Na'vi might have held for the Sky People has long since been buried beneath hatred and disgust — to the point of full-fledged xenophobia — at the RDA's destructive mining operations and rather trigger-happy security forces. | |

Star Trek: Star Trek: The Original Series: Spock himself is a particularly interesting example. He often seems to know more about Earth history and culture than the human characters, which at first seems odd but makes sense considering his dual human heritage — he may shun it in public, but is obviously intrigued by it in private. His father, Sarek, is intrigued enough to marry two human women. He apparently considers his human fetish to be... logical. Star Trek: The Next Generation: Q is a being of almost limitless power who speaks disparagingly of humanity (and puts it on trial), yet is also fascinated by humans, devising countless annoying and dangerous ways to explore our natures, and appearing as a human each time. However, when he is really turned human as a punishment in "Déjà Q", he is not particularly happy about it. (Then again, he was given the choice of which less-advanced alien to be turned into, and chose to be human.) Although it's hinted that it's not so much humanity in general he's intrigued by, but Picard in particular. In the episode "The Child", an alien entity caused itself to impregnate Troi and become her baby, to be born and live as one of us. He accelerated the process so that he did all this over a few weeks, rather than months or years. When the child realized his presence was endangering the ship, he died so he could revert to his natural state and leave the ship, thus removing the risk, and thanking Troi for the experience as he left. Data and Odo have elements of this: though they interact with humans as equals and have emotional (or the nearest equivalent) connections as well as intellectual interest in humans, both also spend time observing and analyzing the people (human and alien alike) around them. Data even states in the TNG pilot that he wants to become human, and Riker calls him Pinocchio in response. |

This can be for better or worse in Kamen Rider: Kamen Rider Blade: Hajime Aikawa came across an Undead as it mortally wounded a climber in the mountains and became curious when the man asked him to take care of his family instead of trying to save himself. Hajime went along with it and actually became fond of living with Kuriharas despite having a little understanding of humans outside of them and lacking grasp on human emotions. Eventually, The Power of Friendship leads him to realizes that Humans Are Special and powerful because they have emotions and care about each other. Kamen Rider Build: Catching Evolt's attention is very unfortunate predicament. He adores ruining lives in crafty ways, torturing people, manipulating or corrupting them to be their worst selves and causing chaos en masse. The thing that intrigues him about humanity is mainly the potential to be awful and then the ability to adapt (he is named Evol, after all) to the pressure he creates. |

In Tales of Kolmar, the Kantri have a word for the ardent desire to talk with other intelligent species and see the world from different points of view — ferrinshadik. All of them feel it, some more than others. Some try to ease it by learning to speak to trees, but that takes a long time even by their lengthy standards and trees don't have much to say. Demons are intelligent but also Kantri's mortal enemy. That leaves humanity, and time and again those Kantri who don't simply dislike humans too much to talk quickly become enchanted by one or another, delighted by the smallest exchanges. Exposure to humans also makes Kantri more inclined to think in terms of hours or days as much as months or years, which can be good and bad. | |

Animorphs: In one particularly Mind Screw-y novel, Jake is transported into the dystopian future (where he was captured, ending the resistance) by an unknown alien presence. When faced with a Sadistic Choice at the climax, we aren't told what he did, but a huge voice says "INTERESTING CHOICE. THEY WILL REQUIRE MORE STUDY, THESE HUMANS..." before sending him back to the story's beginning. The Andalites find humans, especially their food and sense of taste, to be absolutely astounding. Apparently, cinnamon buns are one of humanity's best inventions ever. Elfangor was so enthralled by humanity that he became a human nothlit and had a child with one. |

The Outsider from Dishonored often interviews or intervenes with various people whom he finds "interesting". At the same time, he's pretty convinced that humans are mostly big jerks. Corvo choosing to spare Daud, the assassin who murdered his beloved empress, out of nothing but simple mercy, is the one thing in the game that will shock the Outsider. In fact, this is his entire reason for getting involved in the story; he finds almost all humans predictable and therefore boring, but gives powers to those he can't predict, and thus finds interesting, to see what they will do with their powers. | |

Yamawaro of Hell Girl is a fungus spirit who observed the people who traveled his mountain for many years. Eventually, he finds a family with a child living on the edge of the forest. Some time after their son Hikaru (who looks almost exactly like Yamawaro) goes missing, he approaches the parents to find out more about them. Because of this encounter and the events that resulted from it, Yamawaro considers humans to be deeply tragic creatures and wants to know more about them. This ultimately led him to join the Hell Correspondence. | |

In the television movie "In the Beginning", Londo reflects that a reason why the Centauri Republic cultivated its diplomatic relationship with the Earth Alliance was mainly because of Centauri fascination with humanity itself. He also notes that while he personally had already worked with them for years, he gained a newfound respect and admiration for them in their defiance during the hopeless and genocidal war against the Minbari. | |

Among My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fans, there is a great deal of content depicting background pony Lyra Heartstrings as being infatuated with humans, in a world where they do not exist. She obsesses over these mythical bipedal creatures to the point of wanting to become one herself, mostly so she can trade in her hooves for hands, even though her unicorn magic*short-range telekinesis that every adult unicorn can use already enables her to handle objects with as much control as hands would allow. This personality is entirely fan-generated, and has its roots in one famous scene from an early episode where she is seen sitting upright on a bench, while every other pony in the series tends to sit on all fours like normal horses (and in particular Bon Bon is sitting right next to her on the same bench with a typical pony posture). That's literally the entire genesis of the whole thing. | |

The Doctor in Doctor Who (old and new versions both) loves humanity and is fascinated by it far beyond his general fascination with other species and the universe in general. Most of his companions are humans, and he's constantly begging them to come travel with him not just in space, but in time, so that they can look at humans throughout their whole history. In fact, Earth is sort of an informal protectorate of the Doctor's: in the new series' fifth season premiere "The Eleventh Hour", he faces down an attacking alien ship while asking them to check their databanks to see whether this planet is defended. When they do, and see just who it's defended by, they hightail it out of there immediately. It's never explained exactly why the Doctor has such a soft spot for humans in particular, but this may be due to the fact that his teenage granddaughter, Susan, was a fangirl of Earth and wanted to go to school with humans, and he picked up his first human companions, Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright, Susan's teachers, while hidden on Earth so that Susan could attend school. Their influence changed the Doctor from a rather amoral, aloof jerk to a hero. The Doctor has a deep affinity for human literature as well, and has enthusiastic conversations with Earth writers whenever he meets them, including Charles Dickens, Shakespeare, and Agatha Christie. He tells various Companions that works by these authors endure for millennia after even the Companions' time. |

This seems to be something of a staple in Child of the Storm. Thor is firmly convinced that Humans Are Special and that Humans Are Warriors (though after a chat with Dumbledore and on consideration of Tony Stark, he revises this to Humans Are Survivors). Loki, being Reformed, but Not Tamed, seems to regard humans as somewhat primitive, but respects them and notes their achievements, their adaptability and combat skill (to the point of considering the Winter Soldier to be the most dangerous assassin in the Nine Realms) and their rate of development. Asgardians, much like their comic counterparts, are generally curious about humanity. While some regard humans in general as backwards and primitive (which, since they were last regularly on Earth during The Dung Ages, is perhaps unsurprising), they greatly admire the heroism of Captain America and the Avengers, and find intriguing how much humanity manages to fit in with such a limited lifespan... and are apparently addicted to coffee, to the point that Loki wryly considers that Fury could extract diplomatic concessions by placing an embargo on coffee. Mar-Vell seems to be even fonder of humanity than usual (though this may have something to do with the implied fact that he fell for Peggy Carter), to the point of being established as humanity's 'Protector' and giving SHIELD the so-called 'Mar-Vell Files', a series of technological advancements that have largely been mothballed since Earth doesn't yet have the technological development to use them properly (and every attempt to do so has gone horribly wrong). And, of course, there's Jor-El, who saw something special in humanity. |

In Nomine: While all angels hold that Humanity Is Special in a kind of abstract sense, Blandine is the angel that is closest to humanity, as her role as the warden of dreams means that she spends most of her time literally seeing into their souls. She's one of the few archangels to genuinely care about individual humans rather than about capital-H Humanity, and basically the only one to treat us as equals. | |

In the Uplift series, a handful of alien races find humanity humorous and/or charming, such as the Kanten, the Tymbrini, and the Synthians. (Most other extraterrestrials are indifferent to humanity at the very best and, at worst, fighting each other over the opportunity to be the ones to exterminate humankind.) A separate example comes with humanity's fellow settlers on the refugee planet Jijo, where the other races come to appreciate the culture and skills humanity brought with them, which differs to varying degrees from the respective races' off-Jijo counterparts. | |

Machine Man: Aaron Stack/X-51 has been alternately fascinated and repulsed by humanity over the years. For most of his life, he experienced a full-blown desire to be human, even if he did often get frustrated with our shortcomings. However, after a series of personal catastrophes (winding up Mostly Dead, being reactivated with his mind infected by Sentinel programming, getting a big chunk of his memory erased, getting kidnapped by aliens and then abandoned by them without explanation), he has become far more cynical in general and tends to view humanity mainly with disgust. His best friend these days — Howard the Duck — isn't human either. | |

The Mermaid: Amelia, the titular mermaid, used to enjoy exploring shipwrecks as a child. Her family warned her of the danger and cruelty of humans, but that only whetted her curiosity. As an adult, she swims too close to the surface to watch for boats and eventually follows a ship to the coast of Maine, where she spends days spying on humans. She falls in love with the fisherman Jack Douglas and moves on land to be with him. She spends decades with him in their small area of the coastline, but after he dies, she decides to leave and explore the dry world, which she always wanted to do when she was young. By the end, she learns that Humans Are the Real Monsters and only wants to go back to the ocean, where animals can be violent but never wantonly cruel. | |

In Dissidia Final Fantasy, it turns out that the Cloud of Darkness feels this way after being defeated by the Onion Knight for the second time. Seeing his resolve in the face of total annihilation led the perplexingly female-looking Anthropomorphic Personification of the Void to muse about how interesting humans are.

Puro, the black latex wolf beast from Changed, has broken off from his pack's Hive Mind due to this. He reads everything and anything he can about humanity and tries to replicate human behavior whenever he can, to the point that he is embarrassed when spotted doing the doggie paddle instead of a more human swimming form. He's a firm believer in Humans Are Special and actually has sapience, unlike most of the other latex beasts running around the facility. | |

Played with in Durarara!!. Izaya is fascinated by humanity, and says repeatedly that he loves all humans (minus Shizuo). To express his love, he observes everyone and manipulates them, even going so far as to kidnap/rescue a suicidal girl and watches to see if she really will kill herself. He is behind a good deal of strife in the series, all for the sake of gauging humans' reactions. Despite this, he himself is a human. | |

Data and Odo have elements of this: though they interact with humans as equals and have emotional (or the nearest equivalent) connections as well as intellectual interest in humans, both also spend time observing and analyzing the people (human and alien alike) around them. Data even states in the TNG pilot that he wants to become human, and Riker calls him Pinocchio in response. | |
