What if intelligent life wasn't on some distant star, but in the heavenly body right next door? The idea that there might be life on the Moon goes at least as far back as True History by Lucian of Samosata (2nd century AD)note although this was a satire of now-lost earlier stories, so the idea may potentially be considerably older, and showed up in a lot of proto-science fiction afterwards. It should really have died with the development of high-power telescopes in the late 18th century, but hung around as at least the subject of spoofs (such as the Great Moon Hoax). By the end of the 19th century, any astronomer could literally see that there was no life on the surface of the Moon, although some writers suggested that there was once life on the moon, leaving behind ruins for their heroes to explore. In most modern SF, lunar inhabitants tend to be human colonists; such examples fall under Colonized Solar System. If said colonists have evolved or otherwise changed into something other than human, then it becomes this trope again via Transhuman Aliens. Contrast The Man in the Moon, Moon Rabbit. Sub-trope of Solar System Neighbors. May be encountered in a Trip to the Moon Plot. Examples |

In The Divine Comedy, the inhabitants of the Moon are ghosts so pale that Dante mistakes them for shadows and reflections, relegated to this lowest place in Paradise for the vows they've violated. In truth, they live with Mary, the angels, and the rest of the saved in God's Empyrean, but to allow Dante to understand the difference between them and other Paradisians, the oath-breakers have taken the pale Moon as their living place. | |

Inherit the Stars by James P. Hogan zigzags this while blending it with half a dozen other "humans in space" tropes. In the near future, humans exploring the Moon find a spacesuited dead body buried in a cave. A colonist from Earth? Can't be - the body is 50,000 years old, but no trace of his culture has ever been found on Earth. He and his culture are promptly dubbed the Lunarians. It turns out that he's from another planet, Minerva, which once existed between Mars and Jupiter but broke up to become the Asteroid Belt. But if he's from another world, how can he be biologically 100% human? Well, 25 million years ago, Minerva was home to an advanced alien species who captured a wide array of Earth lifeforms and took them back to Minerva - including very primitive hominids who eventually evolved into a Minervan subspecies of human. It makes sense. Eventually. | |

∀ Gundam has the legendary Moonrace, a group of ancient space colonists who managed to retain most of their advanced technology and Humongous Mecha after an apocalypse which ravaged Earth. The plot kicks off when the Moonrace contact Earth, now rebuilt to early 20th Century levels, to announce that the time has come for them to return home. There's even a Homage to The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter involving a time their queen once discreetly travelled to Earth. | |

The Marvel Universe has the Watcher living at a hidden base in the Moon, an alien that observes all events and sometimes works as a story's narrator. He's not actually native to the Moon, he's from an alien species that establishes such outposts at several corners of the universe. Note that this character was created in 1963, during the years of the space race but before the actual Moon landing, so the work treated the Moon as a mysterious place. The Inhumans (who were originally genetically modified human offshoots from Earth) later moved to the moon, living next to the Watcher. |

In the Doctor Who episode Dinosaurs On A Spaceship, The Doctor tells Rory and Brian not to bump the ship into the Moon or the races that live there will be livid, leading to Brian's Flat "What". Given that it's set in the 24th century, it might have been colonized. Except we later find out the Moon is an egg for a giant space creature. |

Kaguya-sama: Love Is War canonically takes place in a world where The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter is an actual historical event, meaning that at some point there were aliens living on the moon. This is only established in the volume 4 Q&A, and the series is never shown to have actual science fiction or fantasy elements.note Barring that yeti in Episode 3 of Season 1, the Moon breaking in Episode 3 of Season 2 (which apparently happened due to the moon still being broken in Episode 12), the Cubari Faccaciamo, the ghost of Girl A in the Light Novel, etc. | |

Jacques Offenbach's play Le voyage dans la Lune features Lunarians that live without romantic feelings towards one another and mate by bidding on a bride at an auction, that is until the main characters arrive and find out apples make everyone fall in love with one another, and effectively end these auctions for good. Their political system is also quite strange, and doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. | |

Inhabitants of the moon appear in several Disney stories. A few examples: In Carl Barks' Rocket Race to the Moon (1948), the Moon is inhabited by chubby-looking aliens who drink rocket fuel and split in two smaller aliens when hit. In the Italian-written Astralpippo n. 9999!, Goofy and Mickey are tricked by a mad scientist into a rocket and land on the Moon. There they find get caught in a war between two factions of Human Aliens — one of which does everything in a "reversed" way and are at risk of starvation because the enemy keeps bombarding them with food. And the war has been orchestrated by Peg Leg Pete somehow. The story makes so little sense that later reprints tried to explain it away as Mickey's dream. |

Touhou Project: The Lunarians are a group of Shinto deities led by Tsukuyomi, who moved to the moon via Sufficiently Advanced Bamboo Technology when the taint of mortality began to spread across Earth millions of years ago. In the present day they have become somewhat xenophobic out of fear that their new home will become likewise tainted by human astronauts. They are particularly important to the plots of Imperishable Night, Touhou Bougetsushou and Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom. Their fear of impurity is such that one of the midbosses is a living Brown Note to them: Clownpiece is a fairy that's pure lifeforce, and thus anathema to them. Adding insult to injury (literally), the reason she's wearing stars-and-stripes is to remind the Lunarians of that one time humans walked around on the moon. The moon also has a large population of Moon Rabbits, who appear to be either creations of the Lunarians or native lifeforms they enslaved. |

The first Rocky and Bullwinkle serial "Jet Fuel Formula" concerns the US Government and Pottsylvania wanting to get their hands on Buillwinkle's mooseberry fudge cake recipe, which works equally well as rocket fuel, so they can go to the moon. Partway through the serial moon men Gindey and Cloyd show up to get it themselves so no humans will go to the moon. Gidney and Cloyd show up in later serials "Metal Munching Mice" and "Missouri Mish Mash." | |

Ultra Series Ultraman Ace have a mid-season revelation that Yuhko Minami, one of the two hosts of Ultraman Ace, turns out to be an alien from a civilization that lives on the moon, before their homeworld was destroyed by the monster Lynatyx. Ultraman Ace expectedly fights Luynatyx and wins, and by the episode's conclusion Yuhko decides to leave the show and return to the moon. Ultraman Leo has an episode which is a Whole-Plot Reference to The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, where Gen Ohtori's new friend, Kaguya, turns out to be an infant from a race of moon-people and the moon's monstrous guardian, Kirara, is on it's way to earth to send her back home.

Later they are stated to be other descendants of humanity, alongside the gems and the Admirabilis. Wentricosus ponders whether they want to reunite to become humans again. They don't.

The 1964 movie First Men in the Moon (an adaptation of H.G. Wells' novel mentioned below) features Selenites brought to life through the stop-motion work of Ray Harryhausen. These ones also domesticate giant caterpillar-like creatures known as mooncalves. | |

Ultraman Ace have a mid-season revelation that Yuhko Minami, one of the two hosts of Ultraman Ace, turns out to be an alien from a civilization that lives on the moon, before their homeworld was destroyed by the monster Lynatyx. Ultraman Ace expectedly fights Luynatyx and wins, and by the episode's conclusion Yuhko decides to leave the show and return to the moon. | |

Ultraman Leo has an episode which is a Whole-Plot Reference to The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, where Gen Ohtori's new friend, Kaguya, turns out to be an infant from a race of moon-people and the moon's monstrous guardian, Kirara, is on it's way to earth to send her back home.

Ōkami has the Moon Tribe, a race of technologically advanced Human Aliens who lived on the Moon before being destroyed in an unknown cataclysm, leaving only three survivors. They were the creators of the Ark of Yamato, the prison for Yami and his armies of demons who later slaughtered the Celestials and plagued Nippon during the events of the game. They also created numerous artifacts that are later used as powerups by Amaterasu such as the Fire Tablet that allows her to swim in molten lava. | |

Lucian's book True History (sometimes translated as "True Story" or "True Fiction") is among the first science fiction stories, and in large part concerned with a war on the Moon. Unusually the Moon people are not at war with Earth, but rather with the people who live on the Sun. They also have odd characteristics like being all male, having detachable genitals, gestating their young on their calves, having leaf ears and possessing armies of bizarre creatures like dog-faced men riding on acorns and cloud centaurs. It could be seen as the first attempt at writing alien biology, if it wasn't so blatantly ridiculous. | |

In Sailor Moon the Sailor Senshi are looking for the Moon Princess who was reincarnated on Earth by the Moon Queen, (along with the princesses of other planets in the solar system), after the evil Queen Beryl and Metallia destroyed the civilizations on other planets. To the surprise of absolutely no one, the Moon Princess's identity turns out to be Tsukino Usagi, or Serena in the English dub, who is Sailor Moon. | |
