Whenever any characters have no genitals or secondary sex characteristics. They may identify as masculine or feminine, or they may have an entirely different gender identity. This is frequently a trait of spirits and spiritual beings, who don't have physical bodies in the first place. Note that due to a lack of alternate phrases in the English language, referring to characters as "sexless" does not mean that they're Asexual, which instead deals with sexual orientation and attraction, nor does it mean that a character does not or cannot have sex.note No, we're not renaming this trope again. If Everybody Wants the Hermaphrodite is in effect, they may, in fact, have a very active sex life. Oddly, this trope seems to rarely apply to robots and Mechanical Lifeforms, who have bodies and personality chips designed around either male or female parameters even though, by definition, these beings have no biological sex. However, this can be chalked up to people wanting to avoid the Unintentional Uncanny Valley when designing artificial intelligences. Finally, Intersex people have sexual characteristics, but they may be ambiguous or mixed, not fitting into either sex category. Characters like this sometimes run into Pronoun Trouble if they don't identify with a specific gender (sometimes because options such as "zhe", "hir" have not yet reached mainstream penetration, though singular "they" has been documented in writing since 1375). Sometimes a trait of a One-Gender Race. Not to be mistaken for G-Rated Sex, but can overlap. Often overlaps with Otherworldly and Sexually Ambiguous when a character is explicitly supernatural and this trait is used to emphasize it. Compare Ambiguous Gender, when the character does have a physical sex but the viewers/readers simply don't know what it is, and Barbie Doll Anatomy, when the body parts in question are presumably meant to be there but are not drawn for censorship reasons. Not to be confused with Purely Aesthetic Gender, when the gender of a video game character is completely irrelevant to the plot and/or gameplay.

Yime Nsokyi from Surface Detail has deliberately had herself neutered. However, as everyone seems to identify her as female and the narration always does the same, it seems the purpose was more to eliminate sexuality than anything else. | |

Adventure Time has BMO (a.k.a. Beemo), a living video game console. Some characters refer to Beemo as female, while some refer to it as male. Word of God revealed Beemo to be genderless, though BMO seems to consider itself male, based on "BMO Noire" and the "Graybles" episodes. In the Gender Flipped universe, BMO looks completely identical. Oddly, the other robot in the series, NEPTR, is always referred to as male, likely because he has two dads. | |

Puella Magi Madoka Magica has Kyubey. Characters and fans generally refer to it as male since it uses Japanese speech patterns and pronouns that suggest a male identity, but it really doesn't seem to be either one, since it is a Starfish Alien Hive Mind whose true form is hinted to be something entirely different than what we see on screen. Being an alien, it likely thinks of gender as one of those "silly human things", like emotions and empathy. | |

Kyree, an intelligent wolf-like species in the Heralds of Valdemar 'Verse, can be male, female, or neuter. Since the neuters lack reproductive responsibilities to the pack, they tend to be the ones that go out and have adventures, and are therefore most often encountered by others. The famous neuter kyree Warrl goes by male pronouns, with the occasional note that this isn't technically accurate. His cousin Rris, who is also neuter, does the same. | |

K1-B0, or Keebo, from Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony is this as the Ultimate Robot. While the others refer to him with he/him/his pronouns from the start, Tenko asks him in Chapter 2 if he's male or female in order to gauge whether she can like him or not, and his response is that he honestly hasn't thought about it before and thus doesn't know. He appears to have Barbie Doll Anatomy, but he also still wears "underwear". | |

Digimon are technically sexless, being mere data, but their manifestations often take the form of specific creatures with genders for purely aesthetic reasons, something Renamon explains to Rika in Digimon Tamers. Either way, they do not reproduce sexually. Apparently not the case in Digimon Fusion, which doesn't hold back with the implications of sexual relationships between Digimon. One of the supporting mons in Taiki's team even has parents who appear on-screen, and the Big Bad Duumvirate are brothers. Ironically, Lilithmon is made fun of at one point for not having a boyfriend. | |

Dragon Age: Spirits of the Fade are technically genderless. Even Desire Demons only appear to be female to make tempting mortals easier, and, while not seen in-game, they are mentioned to take male forms if that would work better on their targets. Shale and presumably any other golems from Dragon Age: Origins due to their bodies being entirely artificial. Their souls, on the other hand, are implied to keep some concept of gender in some cases, and Shale is quite surprised to find out that she was originally a dwarven woman. |

In A Certain Magical Index, angels technically have no gender, and in practice have features of both men and women to further up the strangeness of their forms. This of course only applies to natural angels, artificial ones and espers who achieve the power needed for that level can still technically be known by their original genders. There was also that time that Archangel Gabriel ended being forcibly and accidentally brought down to earth and incarnated into a female form, but that didn't do the angel's sanity any favors. | |

The angels in Supernatural are genderless beings, but when they come to Earth, they take on human vessels. Castiel is known to Sam and Dean as male because his vessel, Jimmy Novak, is male, but in season 4, he uses Claire Novak as an emergency temporary vessel and flashbacks to 1901 in the episode "Lily Sunder Has Some Regrets" show Castiel utilizing a long-term female vessel. | |

Cloud of Darkness, as seen in Final Fantasy III and Dissidia Final Fantasy, appears female (particularly in the latter) and is referred to with female pronouns—but as the name implies, she's just the physical form of a literal cloud of darkness. She actually refers to herself with "We," apparently including sentient tentacles in that. Therefore, she can't be said to be female. | |

The dragons in Final Fantasy XIV reproduce alone. Any adult dragon can have children without a partner, and while the only romantic pairings we see are male-pronoun-using/female-pronoun-using, it's eventually confirmed that the entire concept of gender and sex is something they go with to make the humans happy and it has no foundation in their society. The difference between a male dragon and a female dragon is literally just whether they want to be called "he" or "she" when dealing with humans. | |

World of Warcraft: The Naaru are treated a bit like angels are in a religious context—they get referred to with male pronouns because calling them "it" would be insulting, but not being even humanoid, the few we've seen appear entirely sexless. As of Legion at least one Naaru has been identified as 'she:' Xe'ra, also known as the Light Mother. Xe'ra speaks with a female voice and is said to have been the progenitor of the other Naaru (at least one, O'ros, is identified as being her descendant) but it's unlikely their genesis had anything in common with human biological reproduction. |

Almost all aliens from XCOM: Enemy Unknown. Some are robots, but most are disposable clones grown in vats send to die against the titular XCOM. When sending cloned Cannon Fodder mooks genetically modified for combat, why bother giving them an obvious weak point like genital organs? | |

Ready Jet Go!: According to Craig Bartlett, the Bortronians are neither male nor female. Despite this, they use pronouns like he/him or she/her for convenience's sake. The only indication given in the series that Bortronians don't really have gender is when Jet calls Carrot and Celery "Parent 1 and 2" instead of "mom and dad" in "Jet Cooks Dinner", showing that he's attempting to adapt to Earth's gendered terms. | |

Homestuck: Doc Scratch says, "I am an immortal entity with a large cue ball for a head, and no biological means of reproduction." Doesn't stop him from coming across as a creepy pedophile. This is also implied to be the case for Tavrisprite, a fusion of Tavros and Vriska, doubly so due to being a sprite and being a combination of two characters of the opposite gender. Caliborn and Calliope, two alien characters called Cherubs who share a body. While they identify as opposite genders their body is physically ambiguous, and it's later revealed that their entire species is like this, with the female and male halves battling for control over the body until one eventually wins, at which point the body takes on more secondary sex characteristics, but both genders are capable of getting pregnant. For bonus points, they are named after the main character of Middlesex, who was intersex. The trolls have genders and secondary sexual characteristics (specifically: females have Non-Mammal Mammaries, or at least something that appears to be that, while males don't) but how these relate to reproduction is, at best, ambiguous. It doesn't seem to matter whether Matesprits or Kismesises (the two "reproductive" troll relationships) are of opposite genders or not (one troll reacts to a human saying he's not a homosexual by first being confused and when it's explained asking "HOW IS THAT EVEN A THING?"). Trolls don't physically mate in person, and the process apparently involves pails of "mating fluid" from several individuals being mixed together, so perhaps there actually is a biological difference between the genders and the concupiscent relationships just make the goo "better" somehow. Many fanfics portray trolls as effectively being Hermaphrodites. |

In the Resident Evil series, while the Tyrant line of monsters look predominantly like a male human, they are (according to an Apocalyptic Log) either cloned to be genderless outright or have had their reproductive organs surgically removed.

Diaspora features a society of posthuman software people who rarely choose to be gendered, along with invented gender-neutral pronouns (ve, vis and ver) first used in Distress, in which meat-humans sometimes elect to become "asex". (Some others exaggerate their secondary sexual characteristics and become "umale" and "ufem". Still others make a sort of blue-and-orange gender binary called "imale" and "ifem", which uses nonstandard gender cues.) | |

Aigis of Persona 3 is an android who was only built to look human because it made her a more effective weapon and because it was necessary for her to channel a Persona (Personas are created from human thoughts and emotions, so if she didn't think of herself as a human, she couldn't use one), so anything that didn't serve that purpose wasn't added to her design. While she's considered female based on her appearance, she doesn't necessarily identify as such given that she's made of metal and has no sex organs, though with a female protagonist, she does worry about Incompatible Orientation and accepts being referred to as female. | |

Carbosillicate amorphs like the titular Sergeant Schlock of Schlock Mercenary reproduce by methods having nothing to do with the traditional concept of sex as practiced by humans. Reproduction can be accomplished by a form of asexual budding with the resulting new amorph's personality being based on the parent and a partner (who doesn't even have to be of the same species) that is imprinted at the budding stage. Alternatively, they can reproduce my mixing together parts of two separate amorphs in a form of pseudo-sexual reproduction. Those who hang around humanoids tend to identify with a gender but still don't attach any gender issues to reproduction. | |

Chrysalis (RinoZ): Dungeon monsters don't use sexual reproduction, but simply appear periodically at spawn points; even in the rare species, like ants, that are able to independently reproduce, the Queen simply converts biomass into eggs with no male involvement. Anthony remembers at one point that Earth ants are technically sterile females, and is startled at the realisation, but there's no indication that Pangera monster ants — or any other Pangeran monsters — have any genitalia or libido at all. | |

Ephemeral beings in general (which as a broad category covers almost all immaterial entities, such as Ghosts, Spirits, Angels, Goetia and Abyssal Entities, among many others) typically do not have biological genders, since the large majority of them reproduce in abstract ways rather than the way humans do (Spirits and Goetia grow and develop sentience from the concepts they are based on developing in the material world, Angels are built by the God-Machine, ad so on), though some of them might assume forms with defined genders if it fits (Angels if it's needed for their mission, Goetia if they are based on people with defined genders...). The only consistent exception is Ghosts, who, being based on dead mortals, retain the genders they had in life. | |

When other characters are surprised by the implication that Samus Is a Girl, "she" sarcastically replies that "she" never had a gender; everyone else just decided a sexless car was male (though it was more her aggressively obnoxious personality that led most to think of her as male). She now calls herself a "trans-chassis woman". | |

Dungeons & Dragons: Dromites are a race of short, psionic, mildly-Insectoid Aliens with no sexual characteristics or notion of gender, save for a city-hive's Grand Queen and Elected Consort, who are chosen on a yearly basis and take on sexual characteristics to produce eggs. Dromites still form emotional attachments with each other, however, and enter "life bonds" that are likened to marriages, though they commonly involve multiple people, with new members being brought in as older ones pass away. Warforged from the Eberron campaign setting are sexless and often go along with whichever pronouns people use for them, though some do identify with a particular gender. Although Changelings have a "natural" sex, they are able to shift sexes or assume a sexless form just as easily. Since only high-level magic can pinpoint their original sex, it mostly only serves to fuel Fantastic Racism through fears of an Unsettling Gender-Reveal. Shardminds in 4th Edition are a human-shaped species whose bodies are made of psionically infused crystal. They have no biological means of reproduction and tend not to acknowledge genders, although some might have more masculine or feminine body shapes. The Cthulhumanoid Illithids are hermaphroditic and reproduce by spawning tadpoles, which they insert in the brains of helpless humanoids to metamorphose them into new Illithids. |

Stargate SG-1: Goa'uld and Tok'ra symbiotes (same species, different philosophies) are essentially aquatic snakes with Puppeteer Parasite abilities, and a Tok'ra character once states that the symbiote has no gender, though some prefer hosts of one sex or the other. This is not actually completely true: a small fraction of Goa'uld are "queens" who produce larval symbiotes apparently by parthenogenesis. Asgard are biologically sexless due to the cumulative effect of generations of genetic drift and alterations since they switched over entirely to cloning as their sole means of reproduction. They do exhibit personal gender though, as they are also all uploads of individuals who were born naturally, many thousands of years ago. Eventually, we are shown what they originally looked like (essentially pearlescent grey humans) and the contrast with their current existence as classic Roswell Greys is quite severe. |

Many of the viral monsters in [PROTOTYPE] are sexless — Hunters are built to fight, not reproduce, for instance, and that extends to the Supreme Hunter despite it being humanoid (sometimes extremely humanoid). This also extends to the player character, Alex Mercer, who seems to identify as male, but is technically just a person-shaped virus and a shapeshifter with no truly fixed form or means of sexual reproduction. The Blackwatch persistently refer to him as "it". | |

Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade: Bramimond lost his/her/its entire identity, including gender, as a result of practicing dark magic, so Athos refers to Bramimond as "it" rather than "he" or "she." According to the character guide, Limstella doesn't have a sex. She possesses a generally feminine figure but a noticeable lack of bosom (especially next to Sonia, who's implied to be her Flawed Prototype), but is referred to with female pronouns, uses a female sprite in battle, and generally accepted to have a female gender identity. Makes sense given she's a Morph. In the Fire Emblem Cipher trading card game she's also the sole character to have no gender listed. |

The Shinigami of Death Note do identify themselves as male or female (meaning that they do in fact have genders), but it is clearly stated that they cannot have sexual relations of any kind — odds are that they don't have any sexual organs, and even if they do, they're most likely non-functional. | |

Monster Hunter: World: Background lore establishes this for Nergigante. The species has no genitals but instead reproduces by implanting a specialized thorn into its prey. Over time, the thorn will develop into a genetic clone of the parent. This process requires a large amount of bio-energy, which is why Nergigante preys almost exclusively on other Elder Dragons. | |

The Wheel of Time: The Dark One is usually referred to as male (probably in part because Ishamael, who is a man, presented himself as the Dark One for millennia). However, when Rand finally confronts it directly in the last book, he sees it in its true form as a sentient void and realizes that the Dark One has no sex and no gender. The remainder of their confrontation mostly uses "it" as the pronoun of choice. The Creator is similarly neither male nor female, though also usually referred to as "he". Figures of speech that would refer to either the Creator or the Dark One but are applied in a female context usually substitute "the Creator's sister" or "the Dark One's sister", since people erroneously think of both entities as male. |

Kill Six Billion Demons: Angels and Devils are both spiritual creatures of primordial flame with no biological means of reproduction and, at most, cosmetic sexual characteristics. Angels' spiritual forms become more human-looking the closer they get to humanity, which most of them consider a moral failing at best and criminal at worst; White Chain rankles at being called female, but defends feeling "a little... feminine." Devils, on the other hand, are fine with adopting human gender identities and even swap them without much fanfare. They do seem to be predominately male, but that likely has something to do with the multiverse being excessively misogynistic. | |

In The Elder Scrolls, this is technically true of the series' various deities, crossing over with Otherworldly and Sexually Ambiguous. Though essentially genderless spirits, most will take A Form You Are Comfortable With when dealing with mortals, and most stick to presenting as just one sex. A few exceptions to note: Among the Daedric Princes, the et'Ada ("original spirits") who did not participate in the creation of Mundus, the mortal realm, several are known to change gender in different appearances. Boethiah, the Daedric Prince of Plots, has appeared variously as male or female. Even his/her followers will sometimes refer to Boethiah with different pronouns in the same sentence. Mephala, a Daedric Prince whose sphere is obscured to mortals but is associated with manipulation and lies, is said to be a hermaphrodite, but is typically referred to as female and speaks with a female voice. Hermaeus Mora, the Daedric Prince of Knowledge (specializing in eldritch knowledge), forgoes even trying to resemble anything with a gender (although generally speaks with a deep male voice). Y'ffre, the Bosmeri "God of the Forest" and the "Spirit of the Now", was one of the strongest of the et'Ada and is said to be the first to transform into the Ehlnofey, the "Earth Bones", which allowed for the laws of physics, nature, and life on Nirn. Different stories refer to Y'ffre as variously male or female. |

A Song of Ice and Fire: Dragons don't seem to have sex as other creatures do. Any dragon can lay an egg, though a dragon is generally referred to as a "he" until it lays an egg, at which point it is identified as a "she". High Valyrian (the language of the land where the dragons came from) is conveniently gender-neutral, so it has no comment regarding a dragon's sex. | |

Most Pokémon from Generation II and beyond have sexes, but some do not. Some of these sexless Pokémon can breed with the shape-shifting Ditto. Most Legendary and Mythical Pokémon are genderless and cannot be bred, though; even Legends that do have a gender cannot breed. Non-legendary genderless Pokémon are usually artificial or extraterrestrial in origin. Manaphy is unusual in that it is genderless and a Mythical Pokémon, yet it is capable of producing offspring with Ditto — creating Phione, who is also sexless but unable to evolve into Manaphy. | |

Futurama: In "Neutopia", the characters meet a rock alien whose species has only one sex (nuchachos) — despite said alien saying, immediately before this, that their species has no concept of gender. Finding the idea of physical sex incomprehensible, the alien administers a series of tests to see which one is best, eventually deciding that gender only causes division and taking away the cast's sexual characteristics. In their neutral state, they find peace and harmony... until they realize they can't have sex ever again and demand their genitals back. | |

The Bible: YHWH technically doesn't have or need a physical sex. Being an unfathomable entity, this is a given. In the past, God has been arbitrarily assigned male gender nouns and pronouns because "It" is disrespectful, and the Hebrew language has no neutral gender to begin with. However, feminine nouns are sometimes used in Jewish religious literature when God is credited with female gender characteristics such as nurturing and tenderness. The ancient Hebrews even used plural words for God sometimes. Christians are much more likely than Jews or Muslims to think of God as male since He got a woman pregnant and sired a male who was also Himself, in a way, but other Christians interpret God as neither male nor female too. However, the Christian interpretation technically averts this, since Jesus (who is part of the Trinity) is a man, regardless of what applies to the other parts of the trinity. It occasionally is given as one of the reasons why Catholics will only allow men to serve as priests. The Prince of Egypt references the Jewish tradition of female pronouns being used to refer to God in some instances by having God as the burning bush speak with a primarily male voice (provided by Val Kilmer — the same person who voices the character God is talking to) with a whispery female voice layered into it. They had also originally planned to have a third voice, that of a child, added into the mix to further the ambiguity (the combination turned out to be way too demonic-sounding, so it was dropped). Angels are sometimes thought to be genderless beings, at least according to some interpretations of Jesus's statement: "At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven." (Matthew 22:30). Technically, since angels have no physical bodies, it's not much of a surprise. |

Final Fantasy: Cloud of Darkness, as seen in Final Fantasy III and Dissidia Final Fantasy, appears female (particularly in the latter) and is referred to with female pronouns—but as the name implies, she's just the physical form of a literal cloud of darkness. She actually refers to herself with "We," apparently including sentient tentacles in that. Therefore, she can't be said to be female. The dragons in Final Fantasy XIV reproduce alone. Any adult dragon can have children without a partner, and while the only romantic pairings we see are male-pronoun-using/female-pronoun-using, it's eventually confirmed that the entire concept of gender and sex is something they go with to make the humans happy and it has no foundation in their society. The difference between a male dragon and a female dragon is literally just whether they want to be called "he" or "she" when dealing with humans. |

Although the non-human characters in StarCraft have gender identities, they do not have any human sexual characteristics (quite realistically). Their genders are made clear via voice acting, which is in many cases intended to be telepathic communication. For the Zerg, their gender largely has to do with their function within the hive: and the default Zerglings are entirely sexless (and also have no voice). Brood Mothers like Zagara are a One-Gender Race, all female and capable of breeding with every other Zerg or parthenogenesis. Some have speculated there may be females of Abathur's species, but too little is known. Abathur himself seems to regard sex and gender as mostly useless concepts unless you actually intend to breed. So it's also possible that his species is sexless. For the Protoss, while they DO have sexes and sexual reproduction: they are not capable of doing it via the human method. | |

Chronicles of Darkness: Ephemeral beings in general (which as a broad category covers almost all immaterial entities, such as Ghosts, Spirits, Angels, Goetia and Abyssal Entities, among many others) typically do not have biological genders, since the large majority of them reproduce in abstract ways rather than the way humans do (Spirits and Goetia grow and develop sentience from the concepts they are based on developing in the material world, Angels are built by the God-Machine, ad so on), though some of them might assume forms with defined genders if it fits (Angels if it's needed for their mission, Goetia if they are based on people with defined genders...). The only consistent exception is Ghosts, who, being based on dead mortals, retain the genders they had in life. Werewolf: The Forsaken: While Werewolves very much have defined genders, there is a Wolf Gift allowing its user to switch gender at will, meaning it's entirely possible to become a functional hermaphrodite. Changeling: The Lost: A very complicated case with the True Fae; one the one hand, the forms they assume often (though not always) do have defined genders and can have sex. On the other hand, this is tricky in that they can have multiple at once; each True Fae actually is a single entity with multiple "Titles" which each have their own appearance, bodies, and identities. As such, it's possible for a True Fae to for example simultaneously be a man, a woman, an animal, and a mountain. Demon: The Descent: Demons, being former Angels, obviously do not have defined genders. Their Covers (the human identities and appearance they use as disguises) do have them, but a Demon can have multiple Cover at once, and will usually lose a few of them over the course of their life. |

Played with in Forward, set in a Transhuman future. Everyone is still born with biological sex characteristics, but surgery has advanced so far that they can be removed or switched around more or less at will. Binary gender expectations have dropped out of the culture almost entirely, as seen when a masculine-appearing character introduces themself as Jasmine, and almost all humans use they/them pronouns. The protagonist Lee has both a functioning penis and breasts, and it's slightly implied they started out as female but not fully clear. | |

The gems in Land of the Lustrous have their bodies composed of their namesake minerals, and thus are sexless. In the original Japanese, they refer to each other using male pronouns, despite each their behavior ranging from masculine to feminine. The official English translation just tries not using gendered pronouns instead. | |

Chao in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise are a primarily genderless species, and any Chao can breed with any other Chao as long as they're both adults, suggesting absolutely no sexual dimorphism whatsoever. Some games feature Chao that have gendered presentation (i.e. the Doctor and Fortune Teller Chao in Sonic Adventure 2), and certain Chao have been referred to with gendered pronouns (such as siblings Cheese and Chocola); however, as of 2020, the series has switched to using "they/them" pronouns for all Chao to make it clear that they are genderless. | |

Invader Zim: Other than the use of the male pronoun for convenience, there's no gender baggage that GIR has to deal with. He already has enough problems to deal with. This also appears to be the case with Irkens, because they are so far past The Singularity that they are reproduced only by machines, and it's implied that said machines are the real Irkens, their physical bodies being just mindless Meat Puppets to carry said machines around, though they do have genders. |

Rimuru Tempest of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime has this, being a slime. He identifies as male mainly because his past life memories make him see himself as such. Even when Rimuru gets a human form, it is still genderless (being a case of Barbie Doll Anatomy in-universe), though it visually leans towards the feminine since it came from assimilating the dying female hero Shizue. He could give himself actual sexual organs if he tried to (and in fact actually played around with making doppelgangers with more obvious masculine and feminine forms), but sees doing so full-time as a waste of time. | |

Metatron, the Voice of God, in Dogma. All the other angels also qualify as genderless, though it's implied that they did have physical sexes at one point before God gave them the physiques of Ken dolls as punishment. Serendipity — a muse — does not have one either, which is kind of funny since she's a stripper by profession. God is referred to with both male and female pronouns, and appears as an old, bearded man in the opening, and Alanis Morisette in the climax. | |

Warhammer 40,000: Orks are sentient fungus/algae hybrids that reproduce independently through spores.note In real life, many fungi actually have a system of Bizarre Alien Sexes rather than reproducing asexually, but then, the Orks were bio-engineered as Super Soldiers by Sufficiently Advanced Aliens and asexual reproduction does allow them to take over planets a lot faster. They act extremely male, however. Necrons, being robot skeletons, are similar. The Necrontyr, the now-extinct species that was converted into the Necrons, evidently did have the usual two sexes as most sapient species do in-universe, but are now almost entirely mindless combat robots. The few that do still retain their sentience and memories identify with their original genders, even if they no longer have their original bodies. While they may behave otherwise, the daemons and gods of Chaos are all sexless entities. As they're effectively constructs of mortal thought, biological ideas like sexes are meaningless to them. Various cultures that venerate the Gods, knowingly or unknowingly, have attributed different genders to them in-universe. While most of the Chaos Gods are most often seen as male, Slaanesh, God(dess) of Excess and Lust, display this most blatantly. It's common for their daemons to be explicitly hermaphroditic, usually taking forms physically split down the middle with male characteristics on one side and female ones on the other. |

The Prince of Egypt references the Jewish tradition of female pronouns being used to refer to God in some instances by having God as the burning bush speak with a primarily male voice (provided by Val Kilmer — the same person who voices the character God is talking to) with a whispery female voice layered into it. They had also originally planned to have a third voice, that of a child, added into the mix to further the ambiguity (the combination turned out to be way too demonic-sounding, so it was dropped). | |

The Daleks in Doctor Who. They all speak with electronically generated voices that sound masculine and use the male title "Emperor" for their leader, but are actually genderless and seem to be only able to reproduce through cloning or genetic corruption of other species (particularly humans). They are always referred to with 'it' pronouns in Expanded Universe media. We only encounter males of their precursor race, the Kaleds, leading to some to speculate that they were a One-Gender Race, but the Doctor's statements about how close the Kaleds and humans are to one another biologically and the fact that the only Kaleds we've seen so far were in a Nazi-like military setting suggests female Kaleds did exist, but if any were converted into Daleks, their gender was erased. The only definitely female-identifying Dalek seen so far was in "Asylum of the Daleks", but she was the result from an unsuccessful conversion. She used to be a human woman to begin with and was able to maintain her identity due to her exceptional intelligence and willpower. Physically, she was a Dalek like any other. | |

Changeling: The Lost: A very complicated case with the True Fae; one the one hand, the forms they assume often (though not always) do have defined genders and can have sex. On the other hand, this is tricky in that they can have multiple at once; each True Fae actually is a single entity with multiple "Titles" which each have their own appearance, bodies, and identities. As such, it's possible for a True Fae to for example simultaneously be a man, a woman, an animal, and a mountain. | |

Angels and demons in In Nomine are technically neuter, although many that spend time on Earth end up acquiring a gender-bias, depending on which sex of vessel they most often have. Elohim don't acquire such biases (they are by nature supposed to avoid bias) and Kyriotates and Shedim switch bodies so often they usually don't imprint on any one gender, and Lilim generally identify as female. | |

In Pokémon: The Series, the situation with Legendary Pokémon can be rather confusing. Supposedly, most have no gender, but many of them speak with voices that suggest male or female.

Later comics (The Transformers: Windblade) would introduce "naturally" female Transformers who live on a Lost Colony; initially treated as a form of speciation, the comics revealed that female Transformers used to live on Cybertron but went extinct for reasons unknown. In general, the writers are eager to move past this issue and its Broken Base and are now effectively treating the supposedly non-gendered Transformers as male retroactively. | |

The Venom symbiote from Spider-Man counts as this. Venom is a sapient mass of black, blob-like alien matter, which envelops the flesh of its host and bonds with them mentally and physically. This bonding manifests as a black coating on the outward exterior of its host, so in this sense the shape Venom takes can either be masculine or feminine depending on its host (there have been She-Venoms for when it took females as a host, so it's not just exclusive to males like Spider-Man or Brock). In its natural state, Venom has no sexual characteristics and identifies with no gender, and the default pronoun people use to describe Venom is "it". Though in Peter Parker's case, he has been known to mock Venom as acting like a "jealous girlfriend" when it comes to wanting to bond with him again and kill anyone who stands in its way but that's just him being snarky rather than any serious gender identification. In addition, Venom is capable of asexual reproduction, as it has independently produced other symbiotes such as Carnage. | |

Enkidu from Fate/Grand Order (first appearing in Fate/strange Fake) is, technically speaking, a lump of clay given life by the gods who copied the appearance of the divine harlot Shamhat who was sent to teach him about the world, but with the form he took showing more physical ambiguity that makes telling his sex very difficult by sight alone, and he's described as being extremely beautiful and eerie at the same time. The English translation decided to use "they" as a pronoun to reflect this. | |

The Oankali of Lilith's Brood are this until adolescence, when they undergo a metamorphosis and gain genitalia. They even have a word, "eka," to indicate a pre-adult child (and it's often used as a term of endearment from the child's parents). The same is true of the Oankali/Human "construct" hybrids seen in the later books. That said, the change in metamorphosis is not random and most Oankali know what sex they will become before it occurs, meaning that they develop gender before biological sex. For an extra level of weirdness, Oankali and Constructs have three sexes: male, female, and ooloi. Ooloi metamorphose twice, with the stage between eka and adult called "sub-adult." Sub-adult ooloi have some traits that are unique to ooloi but are not fertile. There is also a cultural component of sub-adulthood. Lilith's child Akin is referred to as a "sub-adult male," when "he" doesn't actually have any male genitalia yet, because he has chosen to be male and is the first human-born construct to do so. | |

Replicas in Kingdom Hearts are Artificial Humans who are faceless, sexless dolls by default, but mimic the gender of those they are replicating, such as the male Riku Replica. Xion is a special case as she is designed to become a perfect copy of the male Sora, but changes in appearance depending on who sees her until then: Roxas sees a shadow of the female Kairi (giving her black hair), while others only see her as an "it". Since Roxas was the first person to interact with her as a person, however, his perception of her gender rubs off on her, leading her to identify as female even as her appearance changes into Sora. | |

Vessels (including the player character) from Hollow Knight have no biological sex or gender identity due to being artificial constructs created by the Pale King as an attempt to create a living thing with no mind or will, a being that is completely "empty" in order to contain the vengeful godlike entity known as The Radiance, who manifested in bugs minds and dreams and caused the infection that led to the eventual downfall of Hallownest. | |

Transformers are robots and as such have no sexes to speak of, although male seems to be the default where pronouns are concerned. Averted in an episode of Beast Wars when a bioscan of Blackarachnia shows that she has a full set of reproductive organs. Rattrap also makes some off-color anatomical jokes pretty often. The IDW Publishing run of Transformers comics started out with the concept that all Transformers were genderless. Male pronouns were used, but that was often justified as Translation Convention. Arcee's origin story introduced her as a genderless bot experimented on and made into a female (who went a little insane over the whole thing). Later comics (The Transformers: Windblade) would introduce "naturally" female Transformers who live on a Lost Colony; initially treated as a form of speciation, the comics revealed that female Transformers used to live on Cybertron but went extinct for reasons unknown. In general, the writers are eager to move past this issue and its Broken Base and are now effectively treating the supposedly non-gendered Transformers as male retroactively. |

The character Q from Star Trek: The Next Generation counts. The Q Continuum's ranks are filled with entities that lack organic bodies and live as Energy Beings with Reality Warping as their collective superpower. Because they lack bodies in their "true" forms, the Q can appear as anything they want, human, animals, objects, etc. The primary Q we follow in the story (played by John De Lancie) appears to Captain Picard (and his contemporaries Sisko and Janeway) as a middle-aged man but is not limited to that appearance. As far as gender is concerned Q points out to Picard at one point that he could have appeared as a woman in their earlier encounters had he wanted to, and muses that he might have had an easier time manipulating Picard if he had. In the novels, when told by female Starfleet officers that he doesn't know what it's like to be a woman so he shouldn't comment on their concerns... Q turns into a woman just to mess with them. Additionally, Q reproduction does exist but it's not like human sex at all but is rather about Q using their Energy Being forms to combine energy signatures from two parent Qs in order to create a new Q with traits from both. Though the Q are capable of reproduction as humans do it, thanks to their shapeshifting powers. Amanda Rogers is the product of two Q who turned into a male and a female respectively in order to give birth to her. However, this form of birth leaves the "human" Q vulnerable because their powers don't fully manifest until they're about 19 or 20. Amanda Rogers doesn't realize she's not human until these powers finally manifest. | |
