Monstrous Humanoids are beings that look (somewhat) human, but definitely aren't. It can be their original form, but they may also be the result of a monster that starts undergoing transformations that make it more human instead of yet more monstrous, or a human transforming into a monster but only going there halfway, or doing so much evil that they gradually become monsters. This trope is not defined by the nature of the creature but by its form. Expect the more "human" of them to show their true monstrous features at some point. While Lovecraftian Superpowers can act as a qualification, they aren't a requirement, and be careful the example doesn't qualify for Humanoid Abomination instead, as Eldritch Abominations in human form rarely qualify for this trope. See Red Right Hand for examples of monstrous features being used to indicate evilness. Uncanny Valley is related, but distinct from this trope, as monstrous humanoids, while human-looking, are still recognizably monstrous, while Uncanny Valley creeps people out because the creature looks almost indistinguishable from humans except for the one thing that is "off" about them. Many mythological beings take this form - as a physical manifestation of intelligence and civilization in the human form and assorted forces of wilderness in the monster, the result being a supernatural Liminal Being. That this form is so common is partly due to Most Writers Are Human, as the monsters become more comprehensible and identifiable as advanced and cunning beings as their anthropomorphism increases, but ceasing it before they become too human and progressing into Uncanny Valley. More monstrous examples of Vampires may qualify as well. Many Spirits are often depicted this way. Compare and contrast Humanoid Abomination, where the creature is not a humanoid, but just humanoid. Also compare Demihuman and Rubber-Forehead Aliens. |

Marceline from Adventure Time is a vampiress who can transform into a variety of Eldritch Abomination-esque forms at will, usually for the sake of tormenting Finn and Jake. It's also worth noting that her father, Hunson Abadeer, is a blue-skinned soul-sucking humanoid demon with similar powers, which stem from the Nightosphere Amulet. | |

Abraxas (Hrodvitnon): The half-human Two Beings, One Body hybrid Monster X retains a humanoid build from the Vivienne Graham half in its first form (particularly in Vivienne's skull-like face), although it's hunched over and quadrupedal. For the San half of Monster X, as a former head of Ghidorah, this qualifies as San being a Humanoid Abomination. The first of the Many, created directly from living and dead humans, look like monstrous, jaundice-skinned ghouls of their former selves. |

Bleach: After Aizen merges with the Hogyoku and undergoes four One-Winged Angel transformations, each more monstrous than the last until climaxing in a Hollow-like monster with three Milky White Eyes, six wings with Hollow masks and eyes with Hellish Pupils, three huge holes in his body. His facial skin splits apart to reveal a black skull, and his right hand is completely fused to his Zanpakuto. | |

Come Play: The monster of the film walks upright and looks relatively human, aside from its longer-than-natural limbs and very pale color. However, it isn't from our world and has unusual abilities (such as controlling electronic devices), which it uses to stalk its chosen "friend". | |

SCP Foundation: SCP-974 ("Treehouse Predator") is a meat-eating creature that looks like a young human child. It prefers to kill and eat prepubescent children (ages 6-12 years old). SCP-1293 ("Squeedle Deedle Dee!") look like human beings wearing costumes, but the costumes are actually part of their bodies. The female versions bear their young live through their mouths, and the young are born fully mature in intelligence and size. |

Claymore: The titular warriors are a squad of women who were infused with the flesh and blood of monsters called Yoma, giving them similar abilities at the cost of risking becoming a monster themselves. This process bleaches their skin and hair, and turns their eyes silver, and the more power they draw on the more monstrous they become in appearance. The Yoma themselves qualify, being humans infected with a parasite that transforms them into flesh-eating humanoid monsters. |

Tolkien's Legendarium: Orcs and goblins were originally elves who were corrupted and mutated by Melkor into warlike, predatory creatures skilled at metalwork and engineering. Trolls were created by Melkor as a parody of the Ents, being massive, unintelligent creatures that usually turn to stone in the sunlight. Gollum was once a Stoor hobbit named Sméagol, who lived in a community on the banks of the Anduin River. After coming into possession of the One Ring, over the course of 500 years he was twisted into a pale, emaciated creature with fangs and glowing eyes, capable of clinging to sheer surfaces like a spider. |

The Immortals in 300 are visualized as some undefined race of humanoid monsters with killer teeth fighting for dark emperor Xerxes. They seem human at first because they're all wearing ominous masks, but when one of them has his mask blown off, the Spartan who did so shows visible dread when he sees that his opponent isn't even human. | |

The Parshendi in The Stormlight Archive are of roughly human shape in their base forms, at any rate and can in fact speak Alethi (the language of the protagonists). However, they have red-and-black marbled skin, mysterious telepathic powers, and are actually limited shapeshifters. They can assume a number of different forms to suit the task at hand. The five known so far are warform (causes them to grow armor plate and become physically strong), workform (much like warform, but without the armor and with a block against violence), mateform (in which they are fertile and obsessed with sex), nimbleform (dexterous and careful), and dullform (their baseline form, has no special features or powers). They also may be able to turn into this world's version of demons. They also are noted for killing King Gavilar of Alethekar on the same night they signed a peace treaty with him, for no reason anyone's been able to figure out. | |

Jackie Chan Adventures: Some of the Shadowkhan tribes look more humanoid than others, with the main aspect of their appearance revealing that they're not human being the bluish-gray skin and red eyes visible under their clothing. Quite fittingly for a "Moon Demon", Tso Lan looks like a space alien; he has a freakish mouth, four arms, and pale blue skin. |

Berserk: The Apostles of all used to be humans before offering up something they cherish the most - usually a loved one - to transform into man-eating, often-Lovecraftian abominations. Even in their human form, most have monstrous traits that give their true nature away, like Wyald's ape-like features; the Baron's fangs and yellow, snake-like eyes; and Zodd's red eyes, fangs, feline facial features, and pointed ears. Of the five members of the Godhand, Void has a skull-like face with a massive, protruding brain; Slan has four bat wings and tentacles for hair; and Femto has a beak-shaped "helmet" and cape-like wings — but aside from that, they are mostly human in appearance. |

The Rake is a wiry human figure, pale and hairless with cavernous eyes. It is often depicted as an unnaturally vicious predator, whether of human intelligence or animal cunning; however, it is also related to the mara of folklore, as it is described as slipping into bedrooms at night and watching the sleepers or leaving inexplicable slashes on their arms. | |

Naruto: Orochimaru appears to be a tall, thin man with unnaturally pale skin and long black hair. However, as a result of attempting to acquire Snake Sage Mode he has Hellish Pupils, fangs, insane regenerative capabilities, and a variety of snake-themed powers. His true form, after years of self-experimentation, is a giant snake-like monstrosity composed of hundreds of smaller snakes, and he can take over other peoples' bodies and use them as his own until his power burns them out. Kabuto Yakushi, Orochimaru's right-hand man, becomes one after he infuses himself with Orochimaru's, Juugo's, Suigetsu's, Karin's, and the Sound Four's DNA, gaining Hellish Pupils, scales all over his body, all of Orochimaru's and the others' powers, a massive snake where his navel used to be, and can use Snake Sage Mode to turn himself into a humanoid dragon of sorts. Any of the Jinchuriki, by virtue of having Tailed Beasts sealed inside them. When they get suffciently upset or angry the Tailed Beast they house starts to try to take over, in stages varying from a simple power up, a Battle Aura (with a mind of its own), and becoming a feral miniture of the Beast, until finally the Beast breaks free and rampages once more. Each new level starts doing more and more damage to the Jinchuriki though Killer B and later Naruto are able to use these states without dying/losing control |

Most of the demons from 3×3 Eyes that are not insectoid freaks or Animalistic Abomination tend to be this. Some of them, like Koko's mother or Yoriko's father could pass for slightly unusual humans (usually with pointy ears). | |

The Orcs from The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power are a perverted and mutated version of the Elves. They are pale-skinned, deformed, cannot survive in the sun and more bestial in nature. | |

Spider-Man: Whenever Spider-Man's "Spider" part overtakes over the "Man" part he transforms into a feral arachnoid monstrosity, as seen during the "Man-Spider" and The Other arcs. His clone Kaine underwent a similar metamorphosis a la The Other after being killed by the Lobos siblings. Venom, Carnage, and the other symbiotes can turn their hosts into creatures with More Teeth than the Osmond Family, Absurdly Sharp Claws, Overly Long Tongues, and Lovecraftian Superpowers. |

The monster from the Upside Down in Stranger Things definitely qualifies — too tall and gauntly muscled to be human, with disturbingly long arms and hands, a mouth like a five-petalled carnivorous flower, and More Teeth than the Osmond Family. | |

Otter Island: The monster on the island is humanoid in shape but clearly isn't human; its standard form (as far as we can tell) has pitch black skin, bulging eyes and an abnormally wide mouth with sharp teeth. It shrieks like an animal but is also capable of human speech, if not always perfectly. It can also change its shape to make itself identical to other people, right down to their clothing, though it's unclear if it can physically change its form or uses some kind of glamour. | |

The aliens (and thus Concrete himself) in Concrete are as humanoid as a gingerbread man, and just as featureless. Not really scary on the page, but remember they're around 8 feet tall, covered in a stony skin, disproportionately strong, and weigh in at over half a ton each, and you realize how horrible they must be to be around in-universe, especially when the vaguely humanoid things are moving around, looking at you, or twisting their featureless faces into facsimiles of human expressions as Concrete always does. The monstrous aspect really kicks in when you think about their size and humanoid form in comparison to a human, though it's further offset on the page by their faces being not unlike now commonplace emojis. | |

Armies of Exigo has the Beast and Fallen faction. The foot soldiers of the Beasts are mostly Beast Man types and cow-riding, boomerang-throwing goblins. The Fallen have Dark Elves with a twist such as the Fallen Matriarch — a fugly, hairless mutant of a female dark elf sorceress with octopus tentacles for legs and the Avenger — a magic immune dark elf sealed inside a walking tree and generates magic blasts as a siege engine. The Fallen also have beings from another dimension that are so alien they border on being Humanoid Abominations, such as the Void Walker. | |

In Brennus, this is known as the Chimaera trait, an expression of the Physique power. It normally ranges from minor traits to still-humanoid full-body makeovers, but extreme cases can be outright weird or abstract. | |

The Creepypasta story "Genetic Memory" is based around the idea that there are a group of characteristics (namely elongated, pale faces, sunken eyes, and sharp teeth) that seem to inspire an instinctive fear in humanity all across the world. In this illustrated version a man out in the cold with a covered face comes up to another and talks about all this, and comparing it to Primal Fears that are similarly widespread, like fear of the dark and such. He ponders what could inspire such fear... and then he removes his scarf, snow goggles, and hat to show the other man exactly what scared ancient humans so much. | |

Alucard from Hellsing. He was once a man, specifically Vlad III Tepes, a.k.a. Dracula, but over centuries of consuming people and being experimented on by the Hellsing Organization he acquired Lovecraftian Superpowers so far beyond what a normal vampire is capable of that he almost qualifies as a Humanoid Abomination. In his 'normal' form, he's not quite human (you can't fit that many pointy teeth in a human mouth), and he almost always manifests his "true form" as an extension of his human form. | |
