Uncanny Valley	comment	Sometimes things that aren't realistic look pretty similar to things that are realistic, yet something about them seems wrong in some way and ends up being unsettling. While the uncanny valley is usually known to be unintentional, it can also intentionally be used in a work — either for creeping out the characters In-Universe or for deliberately creeping out the audience. As a result, someone or something whose appearance exists in the uncanny valley can be offputting and unsettling to interact with, even though the thing or character being encountered may very well be harmless. If it's another character rather than an inanimate object who comes across as unsettling, that character may end up wondering why others are afraid of them, especially if they're otherwise good-natured. Turn this trope up to 11 and you'll most likely have a Humanoid Abomination. See also Unintentional Uncanny Valley, for when the reaction comes from viewers seeing something that wasn't meant to be creepy. Related to Otherworldly Communication Failure, in which a supernatural being's uncanny appearance can impede their ability to communicate with others who run away in fear, often with disastrous results. Can overlap with Brown Note Being if a character's unsettling appearance causes physical harm or psychological damage to those that encounter it. Not to Be Confused with the video game Uncanny Valley, the fifth anniversary Channel Awesome special The Uncanny Valley, or Uncanny Valley from Miraculous Ladybug. Note: In Universe Examples and Intended Audience Reactions only and No Real Life Examples, Please! Examples

Uncanny Valley / int_1133352a	comment	Terminator Used very subtly, but very effectively, in The Terminator with the T-800. Initially he sticks out by just being a little too large and muscular for any normal human being, being played by Arnold Schwarzenegger at the prime of his bodybuilding career. Not long after he gets his eyebrows burned off in an explosion, giving him an overly intense steely gaze and an almost skeletal face. Then he loses his eye and wears wide-brim sunglasses, even at night, which completely dehumanizes him despite still appearing human. Add in his stilted way of talking and his eerie movements, and even at first glance it's clear to audiences that something is seriously wrong with this guy. The T-1000 follows suit, despite looking far more normal and average and even being able to act far more human than the T-800 right out of the box. Emphasis on "acting" human, as there's always something off about the way he talks, the way he stands motionless while speaking, the way he never visibly breathes or blinks, the way he runs, the way he is able to fire a gun without blinking or flinching. Robert Patrick studied insects and modeled his movements after them, as he surmised that, unlike humans, a machine would act like an insect and have "absolutely no wasted movements".

Uncanny Valley / int_11b7db91	comment	Adventure Time makes use of this trope a lot when creating a character who is supposed to be off-putting. For instance, Goliad has the voice of a little girl and the head of a baby, and uses People Puppets as a means of ruling the kingdom. These generic cute characteristics paired together with the body of a sphinx make her incredibly unsettling. It doesn't help that Goliad is also HUGE, and runs/leaps like a lion would. That eye that comes out of her forehead notably makes her face even more disturbing, to the point where Jake actually gets disgusted.

Uncanny Valley / int_145d53f0	comment	Used liberally in Five Nights at Freddy's to make the animatronics more disturbing. Nothing more charming than pulling up a camera and seeing a robot that wasn't there before and now looking back at you to make you feel all nice and cozy at night. Of note is the history behind the characters: Scott Cawthon originally developed kid-friendly games, but one such game, Chipper & Sons Lumber Co., was criticized for having characters that look like creepy animatronics. After a Creator Breakdown, Scott decided to turn this flaw into an advantage by creating a horror game about creepy animatronics. Special mention goes to Toy Chica from Five Nights at Freddy's 2, who is the very incarnation of Fanservice gone horribly wrong. A yellow chicken-girl robot wearing attire that leaves very little to the imagination is slightly unsettling in and of its own, but when she starts roaming, she takes it above and beyond because her eyes and beak somehow disappear, leaving her with a very freaky Game Face.

Outwardly, they seem to be three ordinary human girls... except that their skin is unusually pale, their motions are eerily mechanical, their expressions are completely aloof and unchanging, they are nearly always silent and they never blink. Anybody who sees them can immediately tell that there's something seriously wrong with them... before they begin punching holes in walls and shredding things with their razor-sharp hairs.

Uncanny Valley / int_1aacbbc9	comment	Dragon Age: Played for Laughs with the tiny, harmless little rodents known as nugs. They are absolutely unable to hurt anything, totally docile, and most typically just kind of walk around in circles aimlessly looking for food until they hit a wall. Yet there are still several characters and codex entries that find them creepy because instead of rodentlike limbs, their limbs end in weirdly humanlike hands. Hands. Dragon Age: Origins â€“ Awakening: Justice falls right into the Uncanny Valley... because he's an animated corpse possessed by a spirit from the Fade. Of course he'll look like a corpse! The Architect is much more human-looking then other darkspawn, which just makes it creepier when you notice that his hat is actually part of his head, and that when he takes his mask off you can see that his eyes are misaligned. In Dragon Age: Inquisition, this is done deliberately with the companion Cole — a Spirit of Compassion who has taken the appearance of a mage he previously met and comforted as the man was dying. Spirit Cole looks malnourished and has bags under his eyes because Mage Cole was dying from starvation after being locked in a jail cell by an abusive Templar guard. The issue is more pronounced because of his strange mannerisms as a spirit while still looking human, which only Solas can understand, or the fact he doesn't need to eat, drink or even sleep. Also, due to his spirit nature he can read a person's mind and can immediately know their deepest secrets, or know how past events in their life could have gone had they chosen differently, which they naturally find uncomfortable. If you side with Varric on his personal quest, he becomes more human... and starts complaining about how much he dislikes having to eat.

Uncanny Valley / int_1bf83ffb	comment	In Frankenstein, this is what triggers Victor's near-immediate rejection of his creation. Victor had selected all of the Creature's body parts to make him as physically imposing and attractive as possible. What he ended up with was a sallow-skinned, sunken-eyed, varicose-veined hulk of a man with serious anger management issues. True to form, the trope kicked in as soon as it started moving. Junji Ito's manga adaptation of the story in Junji Ito Kyoufu Manga Collection takes Shelly's words and puts a horrifying face to it, albeit more horrifying.

Uncanny Valley / int_2192aeb3	comment	Fire Emblem: The Elibe duology invokes this as part of its Artificial Humans theme. A few things that both war dragons and morphs have in common are that they're both described as hardly feeling sentient, being produced in masses by the games' respective final bosses, and a majority of them lacking any proper intelligence, which results in them looking very "off" compared to the two species (Manaketes and Humans respectively) they're modeled after. They also tend to lack emotions, though in the case of Blazing Blade, Kishuna is capable of displaying them.

The final glimpse in the trailer of Ultron's face, which is all metallic only with red eyes with pupils and emotion, and a movable mouth and a face capable of expression, is simply unnerving. However, Ultron isn't as disturbing as he is in the comics since Ultron is basing his personality on Tony Stark and so feels he needs to be witty to match his creator but becomes angry when it's pointed out he's copying Tony and therefore is less disturbing and more pathetic.

It came about because Peter Jackson walked in on the editing, decided he wasn't scary enough and had them double the dimensions of the mouth in both directions. It succeeded admirably. He originally wanted also to turn his mouth sideways, but they couldn't make this look remotely natural with his real chin moving normally, so this idea was thankfully scrapped. (It would have also been upsetting for other reasons.)

Uncanny Valley / int_26541dd6	comment	According to the makers of Ex Machina, Ava was specifically designed to evoke this. Large parts of her body are transparent and contain visible electronics, while wherever she wears skin, she looks lifelike yet impossibly perfect. Her movement is not like a stereotypical robot's with jerky movements and mechanical noises, but instead very smooth and accompanied by soft, hard-to-pinpoint sounds. Alicia Vikander, having been a ballet dancer, manages to make her graceful walk and other movements look almost human but with something inexplicably off. The whole concept of her character is to find out whether someone knowing she is a machine will be able to overcome or even skip the discomfort/revulsion caused by the Uncanny Valley and instead find her human and sympathetic.

A young woman is convinced that her beloved uncle is another man since, despite looking just like him, the gleam in his eyes is gone. A boy knows that his mother isn't his mother anymore because he knows her so well that he can recognize that something is just wrong about her.

Uncanny Valley / int_27f4c7fb	comment	Coraline deliberately sweeps the valley to induce fear. The human characters mostly avoid it, considering that they aren't very realistic, but they are realistic enough to make the ragdoll versions of themselves fall into this trope. In general, taking emotion and soul out of a face is a keen way to achieve the Uncanny Valley, so in this case taking out one of the most expressive parts of the face, the eyes, was a good strategy. Furthermore, the real humans in the film have asymmetrical faces. Coraline's mother has a somewhat hook-shaped nose that points left, a trait she shares with Coraline herself, and a slightly crooked mouth, while Coraline's father has one ear lower than the other and one eye larger than the other. Even Wybie has one much larger eye than the other and a crooked "hunch" to his posture. The "other" versions of them however have perfectly symmetrical faces, which gives them a very subtle but unnervingly unnatural look: human faces are never symmetrical in real life, so the imperfect real parents look natural while the perfect other parents look fake. The stop-motion in the Other World is slightly off, doing things like having single frames where background objects suddenly jump around, just enough to be unnerving. The moving men◊ at the start are almost as stiff and horrifying as the Other Mother. Mr. Bobinsky has blue skin, freakish long legs and a big gut, and he's supposed to be a normal human. There's some justification, as the background information states he was part of the Chernobyl clean up crew, which may explain his appearance. As the Other Mother's illusions start wearing off, the Other Father begins looking increasingly melty (for lack of a better word). And that's without mentioning the Other Mother's true form.

Throughout the game, you fight increasingly inhuman monstrosities, ranging from werewolves to all manner of Eldritch Abomination. The Orphan, however, looks almost human. Almost human. It's impossibly thin, shriveled, and utterly hairless, but it's far more human-looking than any other boss. This sheer wrongness makes it absolutely horrifying, worse when you consider it most likely looks that way because Kos wanted her child to avenge her murder while wearing her murderer's shapes.

Additionally, skin tones and monstrous features become more and more pronounced as a vampire forsakes humanity, and alternate moral paths which abandon humanity make vampires unable to spend blood to mimic human functions.

All the Synths look almost exactly like normal people, but there are all sorts of little details that uncomfortably remind you that they're not — unnatural eye colors, overly smooth and shiny glossy skin, etc. Advertisements for a company named Persona Synthetics, which provides realistic-looking synthetic servants to look after your family, appeared in British newspapers and aired on Channel 4 in mid-May 2015, which drew a lot of comments on Twitter from people freaked out by it. It turned out to be a viral marketing ploy for Humans, and the synthetics in the ad were just actors.

His vampire tan doesn't exactly help. Gaara, with his missing eyebrows and heavily sleep-deprived eyes. Justified, as he starts out as a villain.

Edo Tensei shinobi. They're effectively zombies. When being fully controlled by Kabuto/Tobi they become emotionless and fight with blank, expressionless faces. Doubly so for the revived jinchuuriki who are being directly controlled by Tobi. Like the Six Paths of Pain before them, they are merely very powerful corpse puppets. Note that In-Universe, these shinobi are all identified by their blacked-out irides and cracked, pale skin.

Uncanny Valley / int_33dd1d90	comment	Half-Life 2, which largely averts Unintentional Uncanny Valley with realistic lip-synching and largely realistic character movements based on character actors, deliberately evokes this with the G-Man, who is implied to be not entirely human. His speech is littered with awkward pauses and emphases, his way of standing and walking are oddly rigid, and his "humanizing" gestures — like brushing dust from his suit or straightening his tie — are unconvincingly stiff. He behaves as though he's had to learn 'human' behavior out of books and films. The effect is further compounded by his facial features, which are not only misaligned but also seem to lack any kind of expression at all. G-Man's mannerisms begin to look realistic only in the Episodes — the point at which he's caught off-guard for the first time in the series. His sole scene in Episode One has him look genuinely confused, then genuinely angry. When he appears again in Episode Two, a touch of actual nervousness and urgency seems to be creeping into his formerly effectless voice, and his movements become much more realistic. By Half-Life: Alyx, he's more or less entirely realistic in motions and expression to the point of showing some very pronounced emotions... but still has some bizarre mannerisms, eyes that look a little too piercing and a massive disconnect between voice and face that keep him firmly entrenched in the Valley.

Spirit Cole looks malnourished and has bags under his eyes because Mage Cole was dying from starvation after being locked in a jail cell by an abusive Templar guard. The issue is more pronounced because of his strange mannerisms as a spirit while still looking human, which only Solas can understand, or the fact he doesn't need to eat, drink or even sleep. Also, due to his spirit nature he can read a person's mind and can immediately know their deepest secrets, or know how past events in their life could have gone had they chosen differently, which they naturally find uncomfortable. If you side with Varric on his personal quest, he becomes more human... and starts complaining about how much he dislikes having to eat.

Uncanny Valley / int_3aeb1c75	comment	Dragon Ball: The creepiest example in the early series was the Goku doll◊ the equally creepy Mr Popo created for kid Goku to train with. The doll is completely silent and just stares blankly at normal Goku with its emotionless Mr Popo-like eyes and even more creepily when the doll does the Kamehameha he doesn't speak the words, he just mouths the words. The English dub makes it more creepy by giving the doll raspy noises when he uses Kamehameha instead of saying the words. When the doll dies, it turns back into a Goku-shaped mold of clay. Chiaotzu was also example of the Uncanny Valley himself when he first appeared, until Defeat Equals Friendship kicked in and he gained more emotions and facial expressions. Considering he was based off a Jiangshi (Chinese Vampire) this is very fitting. Tien has uncanny-ness himself considering his Third Eye and the fact no one else in the series has a third eyeball in their forehead but considering Tien is a rampant Chick Magnet, this trope doesn't apply to Tien as much as it does to Chiaotzu. There's also a very disturbing example in the King Piccolo saga Filler. When Goku is in the cave of darkness he comes across a copy of Kame House full of copies of his friends. Goku is fooled briefly despite the gang all talking in creepy high pitched voices and acting unnatural. Dragon Ball Z seemed to attempt to invoke this with Androids 16, 17 and 18, by giving them steel-blue eyes, facial features very different from the series' norm, and (in the dub) inexpressive voices. If this was an attempt at the uncanny valley, it failed, as both 17 and 18 are almost universally considered attractive (and 16, while not exactly a looker, did not have the repulsive qualities that the uncanny valley is known for). That said, 17 and 18's future counterparts nail it, as they maintain Dissonant Serenity even when laughing maniacally. Android 15 and Android 14 from Dragon Ball Z: Super Android 13!. While the titular 13 avoids this just looking like a muscly human redneck before hulking out into a blue and grey goliath, his teammates dip into this. 15 looks like a small man in a garish yellow suit and purple skin with promient lips very similar to blackface while 15 looks like a burly Native American man with chalk white skin and yellow eyes. In the Japanese dub all they say is "Son Goku" in a monotone to highten this effect, averted in the Funimation dub though which gives them one liners making them funnier and much less unsettling. Whenever a character transforms into a higher form, even the good guys, the new form almost always fall into the Uncanny Valley: An in-universe reaction from the Z-Fighters occurs when Goku and Gohan come out from the Room of Spirit and Time, they come out in their Super Saiyan forms with much more relaxed expressions- having softer eyes than the usual sharper eyes associated with Super Saiyan. It's very jarring since the dissonance of seeing the father and son being so laid back in the usually intense and serious forms, especially to Future Trunks and Piccolo. Goku's Super Saiyan 3, with its serious expression with aquamarine eyes with visible pupils. The lack of eyebrows also makes for an uncanny Neanderthal-looking appearance. Super Saiyan 4 is very strange looking as red fur covers the userâ€™s torso covering everything except for the pecs (which no longer have nipples), the abs and the hands. The userâ€™s eyelids turn red and their irises go golden, making for a simian appearance which is quite fitting. Super Saiyan God also gives off a subtly off feeling due to its more lankier physique it endows the user and the eyes becoming much larger wide cutesy eyes with large red irises with visible red pupils. Ultra Instinct - in both its Omen and Mastered Form - invokes this further with giving Goku clear silver eyes with visible pupils with a perpetual threatening glare while being almost perpetually silent. Super Saiyan God SS Evolved, Vegeta gains dark blue eyes with visible black pupils, giving him a look that's edging uncomfortably closer to realism. Goku Black and his oddly pink Super Saiyan Rose transformation initially isn't too unsettling, even coming off as rather pretty in many ways. What hits the UV so hard is how as he gets stronger, he starts using Goku's powers more efficiently... he fights in a manner completely opposite to Goku entirely, eschewing instinctive and free movements for a far more rigid and almost over-controlled style. While many of his movements during battle are graceful and elegant, they are often so artificial and unnatural in some ways that he appears more like a possessed shell, or a doll on strings. BROLY'S FORMS. Take the burly, muscular design philosophy of the original DBZ, throw in some of the painful looking and distorted manner by which his original movie counterpart transforms, and throw some mind shattering anger on top. The result is a warrior who can't even be called a warrior, but more a rabid animal in a humanoid body just wildly swiping at Goku and Vegeta. And poor Broly only gets more savage and animalistic as it goes, all the while his body goes from yoked but rather feasible, to Hulk-sized. His Super Saiyan forms especially invoke this due to eschewing the archetypal Golden Super Mode the form codified in favor of his classic Sickly Green Glow. Only now he has a helping of glowing scarlet light amid his completely blank irises and feral movements only made worse by his completely overswelled body and the implication that just being in the state has him locked in a painful Unstoppable Rage. And THIS monstrosity is considered the true form of the Super Saiyan, retroactively adding further Humanoid Abomination traits to the Super Saiyan form. Vegeta's Ultra-Ego form rolls all of the above into one ugly package. His eyebrows are replaced by a neanderthal ridge, which when combined with his hairline makes his whole face look downright reptilian. The pigment in his eyes changes while giving Vegeta distinct pupils. His hair gets extra spiky while retaining its darkness, making it look like he was electrocuted. His muscle mass becomes so pronounced he looks like Tetsuo mid-transformation. And then Vegeta starts to lose himself to his bloodlust, which leads to bloodshot eyes and slasher smiles. With Cell himself, he plays it straight with his Semi-Perfect Form. Unlike his animalistic Imperfect Form and his much more appealing Perfect Form; his Semi-Perfect Form has gained the Androids' Icy Blue Eyes as well as a set of uncomfortably prominent, pink humanlike lips on a still monstrous looking humanoid, he's just off to look at. When not seen as corny by some fans. Fat Buu transforming his face to look like a handsome man to impress a woman without changing anything else on his body, not helped that he extends his lips while in his temporal handsome guise, freaking the woman off. Super Buu undergoes this the further he becomes more humanoid with each absorption- gaining a nose and later a fully formed chin; while retaining his Black Eyes of Crazy and increasingly elongating head antenna, making him look even creepier than he had been before. Much earlier than Super Buu and even Cell himself, was Freeza's final form. Unlike his initial three forms that were deliberately as monstrous and inhuman as possible, Freeza, aside from his ears, tail, and purple sections, looks like a pale white human, in which he's at his most violent. His narrow slanted eyes with his red pupils being larger than his previous forms and almost perpetual calm expression while doing heinous violence, give off an unnatural creepiness to his form that his more obviously evil preceding forms didn't. Merged Zamasu, the final opponent of the Future Trunks Arc, looks unnaturally beautiful for all the wrong reasons. Firstly, it's the disgraced Kai Zamasu fused WITH HIMSELF, a.k.a. Goku Black, his alternate timeline self who stole Goku's body, making his existence on a fundamental level blasphemous in the eyes of the gods. He retains Zamasu's facial features and hair color, but everything else is superimposed over Goku's features, from his chin, height, to even the hair being simply Goku's Super Saiyan hair but slightly morphed. And for all of Zamasu's self-aggrandizing in this state, it is a completely unstable fusion, and the pretty facade quickly falls apart to belie a horrifying, multiverse-level threat and a completely broken mind. You wouldn't believe such a pretty face would turn into a living Giygas reference over the span of three episodes. Moro, antagonist of the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Arc, begins the arc as a decrepit, hunched over old figure who resembles western demons in look. Initially not looking too threatening beyond his design seeming a little too keen on adhering to classical mythology amid the classic shonen look of the other characters, he loses his elderly and withered look over the course of the arc by literally draining life energy from his surroundings. By the arc's end, he goes from looking like a supremely muscled goat demon straight out of biblical text throwing hands with Super Saiyan Gods, to a completely human-like form after swallowing the android 73 whole, only more powerful than ever and still possessing some of his monstrous traits such as horns and red eyes, owing to the series trend and keeping him just humanoid enough to look more powerful and combative, yet still demonic enough that it just looks WRONG. And then this ends up subverted too he starts devouring energy he can't control, and ends up needing to abandon a humanoid body completely just to survive a few more minutes. In his final moments, he looks more like a rabid, mutant goat, completely alien to any of his previous looks, and fundamentally cannot even comprehend what he became anymore.

Uncanny Valley / int_3de0ef04	comment	Hamster's Paradise: A more tragic example happened with the Always Chaotic Evil harmsters and the peaceful but comparatively primitive splinsters. Both of them are furry bipeds with forward-facing eyes and long tufted tails, and both use spears as their primary weapons. However, the splinsters also have long necks and vaguely elephantine faces that the harmsters found disturbing to look at, which led to the naturally sadistic species wiping them out. The harmsters had a similar reaction to the ripperoo, the predatory animals that the harmsters originally evolved from. They're large, savage and animalistic but still have an unnerving resemblance to the harmsters, which led to one culture of Matriarch Harmster to view them as monsters to be eradicated while another would go on to see them as death gods and try to placate them with offerings. The white-eyes are a species of southhound that developed white sclerae to better nonverbally communicate with each other during hunts. This strange appearance combined with their general silence has led to other dark-eyed southhounds finding them disturbing and preferring to avoid them. The bat-like desert falcyons have a very canine-like head thanks to convergent evolution, which makes them deeply unnerving to the dog-like drysander northhounds, especially since they will sometimes prey on drysander pups. This earned them a reputation in drysander folklore as flying monsters with the faces of people that swoop down on children.

Uncanny Valley / int_3e8c09b9	comment	Attack on Titan does this with the designs of the Titans. The majority are deformed humanoids measuring anywhere between 4 — 15 meters in height, with Barbie Doll Anatomy and creepy, cheerful smiles that never waver regardless of being blown apart or in the midst of devouring their victims. This is further used with the unique, deviant types encountered throughout the course of the story. Eren's Titan form has pointed ears and a skull-like face, while Ymir's Titan form looks animalistic with shark-like teeth, claws, Creepily Long Arms, and fur sprouting along its shoulders. As a result, both look more like traditional non-human monsters in a reflection of their being on the side of humanity. The Armored Titan has an almost robotic appearance, due to the armored plating covering its body and is less creepy than the Colossal Titan and the Female Titan, who are essentially skinless but otherwise very human in appearance. This seems to hint towards Reiner's Becoming the Mask, in contrast to the more more ruthless Bertolt and Annie.

Uncanny Valley / int_416c3686	comment	Both games in the Gadget series, Invention, Travel, and Adventure and Past As Future. Every character but one is locked into a single, vacant facial expression with limited body motions, never moving their legs, with what little movement they can convey being stiff. Special mention goes to a character only known as "the boy", who is able to float in the air while standing completely still in a straight line. Past As Future was a remake of Invention, Travel, and Adventure, so the character models are somewhat more detailed and have a little more capability to move, but not by much. According to Word of God, this was brought about by the technological limitations of the time but became a creative choice that was leaned into in order to show that the characters in this setting, a bleak dictatorship in a world possibly on the brink of destruction, deliberately keep themselves stoic so as to avoid judgement from the government and hide their true motives. It's interesting to note that one of these characters, Theodore Slowslop, would go on to inspire the G-Man mentioned below. The one character to avert their intentional Dull Surprise is Paulo Orlovsky, the dictator of the series who is creepy in his own way because he's a Perpetual Smiler.

What doesn't help is its incredibly human sounding, yet also very distorted sobs of anguish... and screams of pure, unbridled rage as it slaughters those unfortunate enough to look at it. The head of the squadron that initially found it refused to see an art piece done in its likeness due to being haunted enough by just the sound of it, not wanting to put a face to that awful, uncanny noise. SCP-106 is already bad enough, what with looking like the rotting carcass of an old man... but, somehow, when he was young, despite being much less putrid, and a lot more human-looking, he was much, much worse. The ever-loved, the original SCP-173. It... it's kinda vaguely humanoid... but that face. Staring at it is so hard, so awkward. You want to look away. You can't. You mustn't. You did—SNAP! SCP-2852, a hollow shell and some cicada matter patched together to look like a human... and succeeding. It's just horrifying, especially the eyes which apparently have no function, not to mention the adult baby talk that they apparently spew. charcoalman on DeviantArt has made many SCPs fall into the Uncanny Valley, but his depiction of SCP-4666 is his most well-known by far.

It turns out her entire body is just an illusion of what she wants the viewer to see. Lady Myria Lejean from Thief of Time, who is an Auditor in an artificial body created by the Auditors to look human. They don't understand human standards of beauty, but to make her appealing to Jeremy whom they need for their plans, their idea of making her the most beautiful woman alive is copying the features of what was considered the world's most beautiful painting of a woman, then improved upon them by erasing imperfections, adjusting symmetry, that sort of thing. The result is something that Jeremy describes as beautiful, though a "monochromatic" sort of beauty; he first suspects her to be an undead. Even after he gets over it and falls for her, his servant Igor finds Myria highly uncanny as she doesn't smell like an undead — in fact, she doesn't have a smell at all. Also, she "doesn't manage to walk right" as her feet sometimes need a moment to touch the floor after she does a step — because she isn't used to submitting to gravity. Trymon, the Big Bad of The Light Fantastic is found by other wizards, already established as being used to seeing things most people are incapable of seeing on a daily basis, to just be unspeakably... off somehow. And this is before the Things get their tentacles into him, so it's while he should be otherwise human. The fact he is a maniac might be something to do with this. Wizards can handle a cackling lunatic. A calm lunatic is far more unsettling.

Uncanny Valley / int_5030d3bb	comment	A.I.: Artificial Intelligence turns the Uncanny Valley on its head by having actual actors play the human-looking androids. However, it's used for effect in some scenes with CGI-animated partially damaged androids being hunted down and put on a bonfire at the Flesh Fair, and a sequence with many identical boy and girl androids hanging in the factory. The part where David "breaks" after ingesting human food (he shudders to a stop and the left side of his face sags alarmingly) is particularly effective. Alas, a scene after that, where David is lying on an operating table, still looking human, but with the "skin" on his chest peeled away, especially with them "testing" him; they flick something in him and his hand rises up slowly in a dead manner. Also, most robots (Joe, for example) look a tad too perfect, with smooth skin, a perfect hairline, and so on. They slide deeper into the valley the more you look at them.

He is at least half a head taller than any other character. His eyes are often hollow and he never blinks. Christopher Lloyd only blinked between takes or when his face was out of frame. Every smile is a Slasher Smile. He has a lot more strength than an average man. He is shown ripping the industrial dip barrel open with one hand. His skin is pale and lifeless. His vocal cadence is either too clipped or too drawn out to be normal.

He is human well, used to be, but get more disturbing as time passed, such as moving with Marionette Motion and speaking in a variety of very much inhuman tones. This is not made any better by his partner in crime, Bugster higher-up Parado, an eerily cheerful Psychopathic Manchild with truly eldritch Blue-and-Orange Morality. His smiles go from mostly normal and even somewhat heartwarming on few rare occasions to the teeth barred, corners of mouth upturned version of Technically a Smile three inches from your face.

Outwardly, they seem to be three ordinary human girls... except that their skin is unusually pale, their motions are eerily mechanical, their expressions are completely aloof and unchanging, they are nearly always silent and they never blink. Anybody who sees them can immediately tell that there's something seriously wrong with them... before they begin punching holes in walls and shredding things with their razor-sharp hairs. Most of the human-looking androids which Dr. Hell builds are sufficiently well done to reasonably pass for humans — except for an android which looks just like Kouji but which behaves in a different way and can't speak.

They look familiar and nostalgic at first glance until they suddenly move in unexpected ways or the video pans up to show that they're far bigger than such a ride should be, all while a narrator speaks matter-of-factly about these machines stimulating the brain in such a way that a mysterious "enlightenment" is achieved. As the film goes on and the rides become more and more dangerous, it becomes increasingly apparent that the "enlightenment" the researchers are looking for is death.

Their staggering mechanical movements and speech have just the slightest trace of humanity to put them in the Valley. Batou and Togusa discuss the nature of the Uncanny Valley with a forensics scientist named Haraway, who ponders why humans are obsessed with recreating themselves. Haraway seems like a highly cynical but overall laid-back older woman — until Batou and Togusa leave, upon which she takes her face off and plugs cables into her eyes. If you look carefully, you can deduce her cyborg status by her wearing short sleeves in extreme cold and her breath not being visible, even though Togusa's is. Kim had his brain put into a cybernetic body which is shaped and moved like a wooden puppet on strings. To Kim, the deepest point of the Uncanny Valley is the closest any being can come to perfection. As a result, his whole Big Fancy House is full of human-sized dolls, puppets, and robots.

Uncanny Valley / int_5d354f8	comment	Red Dwarf: Holly is generally acceptable because he/she acts just like a normal human, with a lighthearted, "chummy" way of speaking. But on the instances where he/she malfunctions and reverts to Robo Speak it can be damned creepy. "The phrase 'cargo bay doors' does not appear to be in my lexicon," for example. An episode in which it is briefly thought that Lister is from a previous class of robots to Kryten lampshades this trope, with Kryten explaining that these robots were too close to humans in appearance, which was creepy for some and so they were recalled, hence why despite being a later model he looks more reassuringly non-human. Done deliberately with the Data Doctor from "Back in the Red", apparently inspired by Max Headroom. The first novelization Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers notes that Holograms all have the big chrome "H" on their forehead to make it more acceptable and less creepy for your dead friend to be walking around and talking to you, as it makes it more explicit that the person you're talking to is not actually the real person. Kryten mentions that his predecessor series was a notorious commercial failure because it looked so human that it made humans uncomfortable, while Kryten's "novelty eraser shaped head" (as Rimmer puts it) is sufficiently far enough from human appearance to avoid the valley effect. Invoked in "Blue" where, in The Rimmer Experience, the appearances of Cat and Lister are slightly off, with extreme make-up and overly white teeth. A DVD extra shows a deleted scene from the episode, for good reasons: a rejected version of the Rimmer Experience ride entrance featuring a terrifying static CGI head of Chris Barrie.

Human-form replicators definitely qualify. They look perfectly human, and even come off as human for the first thirty seconds they appear in the series. But soon it becomes pretty clear that there's something off. Fifth comes off as much more human and is (originally at least) a sympathetic character as a result. Stargate Atlantis: The first few appearances of the Wraith. In an attempt to avert Rubber-Forehead Aliens, their eyes and mouths were noticeably slightly too big (apparently with CGI), leading powerfully to this effect. It was apparently too creepy, or else just too expensive, and they abandoned it later on. FRAN, the replicator created by Rodney McKay. She acts perfectly human, friendly, yet is willing to completely obey orders (meaning suicide) and is even slightly enthusiastic about it. It is very much the Uncanny Valley. The notable thing is that she is actually unsettling to the other characters (such as McKay himself) because of this, too.

When Matt wears the red Daredevil suit in seasons 1 and 2, he is like a silent guardian and he moves in a heroic and ninja like manner. When Dex is wearing a replica of this in season 3, the cinematography puts a lot of emphasis on the maskâ€™s empty statue like eyes, and he walks in a robotic manner, like a mad devil on a rampage.

While they look identical to normal humans, they're classified as Aberrations rather than Humanoids, and other people can tell there is something fundamentally odd about elans, resulting in a -2 racial penalty to Charisma. Implied with the zenythri, a "planetouched" race with a Lawful outsider for an ancestor. They're noted for their flawless features and hair that naturally falls into place, but zenythri don't get any Charisma bonus from it, and in fact their basic statline has them with lower-than-average Charisma, implying that other creatures find them too perfect-looking. Keepers, debuting in the Planescape setting, are a race of extraplanar humanoids who are all identical, bald, and have to hide their Eyeless Faces with smoked goggles. They're obsessed with hoarding secrets, which combined with their abrupt manner and odd appearance makes them unnerving to other beings. Keepers are also really bad at blending in with other races - an example has a keeper walking into a bar, seeing everyone taking drinks, and trying to imitate the patrons by chugging a bottle of lamp oil. Unholy scions are mortals or beasts who were possessed by a fiend in their mother's womb, completely replacing the burgeoning soul, to the extent that an exorcism is impossible. While they're irredeemably evil and have a number of dark powers, unholy scions are physically identical to their mother's species, yet somehow disturb onlookers - "Their features might be ever so slightly off, their eyes possessed of an evil gleam, or they might simply make everyone around them nervous for no obvious cause."

Plus, there's the time she spooked Baby Vanya by standing up after being flung into a glass case and twisting her head back into the correct position. You don't quite realize she's a robot, either, she's just unsettling — until the end of the first episode, when she sits down and a futuristic charger plugs itself into her ears, setting off blue glows under her skin.

As a Changeling shapeshifter, Odo normally takes the form of a humanoid man, but he has difficulty mimicking humanoid facial details. The result is that his face has very blunted features with unrealistically smooth skin. Fortunately, he does not seem to trigger an uncanny valley response in the other characters. The Vorta◊ can have this aura. Their violet-color eyes and manikin-like smooth faces feel off and their extreme politeness can also feel more creepy than comforting. Justified because they are genetically engineered by the Founders to be ideal non-combat officials of the Dominion. "The Darkness and the Light" shows an altered voice saying, "That's one", "That's two" after each murder victim is killed. The voice sounds broken, artificial, deep, and not at all humanlike.

The first ghost you encounter subtly lampshades this: "I'm too spliced up! I'm too spliced up! Now nobody's gonna want me...." The Little Sisters are also examples of the trope. BioShock 2 has redesigned the Little Sisters to make them cuter and more cartoony because the player character's viewpoint is a Big Daddy, who cares for them more than anything else; he doesn't find them creepy, neither should the player. Splicers, on the other hand, are still in the valley, because the PC sees them as threats to his Little Sisters. BioShock 2 brings up the valley when a journal of Andrew Ryan describes an animatronic replica of him built for a theme park as a "lurching, waxen nightmare" and wonders how children are supposed to respond to that. Indeed, the first time one of the animatronics is encountered can be startling because it appears to be a slightly less than normal human sitting completely still. Then you attack it and it breaks apart completely. It's brought up again in BioShock Infinite as intentional on the developers' part for the Motorized Patriot, who was in fact based on a nightmare of Ken Levine's about the porcelain dolls his grandparents had when he was a child.

Uncanny Valley / int_77be988d	comment	Lady Myria Lejean from Thief of Time, who is an Auditor in an artificial body created by the Auditors to look human. They don't understand human standards of beauty, but to make her appealing to Jeremy whom they need for their plans, their idea of making her the most beautiful woman alive is copying the features of what was considered the world's most beautiful painting of a woman, then improved upon them by erasing imperfections, adjusting symmetry, that sort of thing. The result is something that Jeremy describes as beautiful, though a "monochromatic" sort of beauty; he first suspects her to be an undead. Even after he gets over it and falls for her, his servant Igor finds Myria highly uncanny as she doesn't smell like an undead — in fact, she doesn't have a smell at all. Also, she "doesn't manage to walk right" as her feet sometimes need a moment to touch the floor after she does a step — because she isn't used to submitting to gravity.

Unlike every other Pearl we've seen, she shares the voice of her Diamond, suggesting... something else. White Diamond acts in a way that's both overly cheering and intimidating at the same time, calls the intergalactic war Pink caused "a game", and asks questions and keeps talking without expecting an actual answer. She also has eyes but no pupils... Also, she is stuck in a sort-of T-Pose, with her arms outstretched, and the only part of her that has movement is her face (while literally the entire rest of her body is drawn in the same style and with the same methods as the scenery).

And that's not counting when they malfunction and transform into Mechanical Monsters. Another example happens in the AD Police Files Prequel, which has a case involving a boomer prostitute going berserk. It turns out that there was a brief market for Ridiculously Human Sexbots until this trope kicked in — most of the sex organs were illegally recycled and used for maidbots and waitress bots that weren't designed for them, causing some of them to go insane (due to a combination of hormonal imbalance and traumatic memories that can't be erased).

Humans who become monsters are usually even worse. Prominent examples include: Worms in Kamen Rider Kabuto can go into this despite being able to mimic humans so perfectly even they themselves forgot who they actually are. The Roidmudes in Kamen Rider Drive are supposed to evoke this trope, although all are played by regular actors. Chase, with his expressionless face and unnaturally wide purple eyes, is the most prominent example. His Kamen Rider Saga even lampshades this several times. Kuroto Dan of Kamen Rider Ex-Aid pulls a zigzagged version of this. He is human well, used to be, but get more disturbing as time passed, such as moving with Marionette Motion and speaking in a variety of very much inhuman tones. This is not made any better by his partner in crime, Bugster higher-up Parado, an eerily cheerful Psychopathic Manchild with truly eldritch Blue-and-Orange Morality.

When actually moving, 2017 Pennywise is even more terrifying, contorting his body freakishly◊ and making exaggerated movements that are disturbing. People actually thought CGI was used to make Pennywise's eyes stare in separate directions but Skarsgard actually did it himself, which impressed/scared the director. It's even more scary when we learn Pennywise can accurately look/move like a human being, as at one point in the Library when Ben is staring at the book leading up to a Jump Scare.

Then after the Jump Scare, she goes completely back to normal.

He also doesn't blink, and is more often than not staring right into people's souls. Given the numbers of fans L has who think he's adorable and/or sexy, this backfired.

Uncanny Valley / int_8cea2648	comment	Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse: The animation itself deliberately has this, as it's CG-animated but much of the movie is animated on twos with no in-betweens (rather than most CG movies, which have more naturalistic animation with tweening and motion blur). The end result is that the film closely resembles traditional animation or, indeed, a comic book, giving it a very distinct look from most other films. This is also invoked with the three non-standard Spider-People. Spider-Ham is a Toon who uses Toon Physics in a realistic world, Peni Parker is an Anime schoolgirl who has deliberately Limited Animation, and Spider-Man Noir is a permanently black-and-white character who's always given heavy shading even in broad daylight. All of these characters are individually appealing, but put them alongside more traditionally CG characters and the result is pretty damn uncanny◊—intentionally so, to enforce the idea that they don't belong in this universe. Even Kingpin invokes this, as hilarious as his ridiculously bulky body is juxtaposed to his tiny head. Compared to other characters (or Real Life people), he's a freak of nature.

Uncanny Valley / int_9058ad7e	comment	Used very subtly, but very effectively, in The Terminator with the T-800. Initially he sticks out by just being a little too large and muscular for any normal human being, being played by Arnold Schwarzenegger at the prime of his bodybuilding career. Not long after he gets his eyebrows burned off in an explosion, giving him an overly intense steely gaze and an almost skeletal face. Then he loses his eye and wears wide-brim sunglasses, even at night, which completely dehumanizes him despite still appearing human. Add in his stilted way of talking and his eerie movements, and even at first glance it's clear to audiences that something is seriously wrong with this guy.

Uncanny Valley / int_90e2f673	comment	This is effectively what gives away upgraded Manei Domini agents in BattleTech. They are cyborgs who have been given a variety of implants, most of which are subdermal in nature. In theory any one high-quality implant is largely hidden, as is the case for standard characters who may need them. Too many, however, and they become subtly inhuman—agents with subdermal armor or strength enhancers have bodies that look more like a Rob Liefeld drawing than anything human, while agents with secret bio-weapon upgrades have odd patterns of head movement and speech because the location of the implants in their throats and mouths makes them sound 'off.' The tabletop roleplaying game Mechwarrior reflects this by forcing such affected characters to take unavoidable flaws that reduce their Charisma rating and make it harder to interact with others. This is helped by the fact that Manei Domini tend not to be the sanest of individuals to begin with, and all the cybernetic implants they receive frequently cause further Sanity Slippage.

Uncanny Valley / int_9284ad43	comment	Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney â€“ Dual Destinies's Video Game 3D Leap gives it, of course, the chance to play this intentionally. Two examples come to mind: Aristotle Means and that goddamn smile, and the phantom and his loose mask. Speaking of the phantom from the final case, their entire character seems to have been an intentional example of this. For context, the phantom is a Master of Disguise who does not feel anything, yet can convey facial expressions as if he does. When Phoenix and company start to corner him, his facial expressions start to mismatch his statements, such as smiling when he's trying to sound angry. When Athena runs her Mood Matrix on him, she finds that there is zero emotion in his voice whatsoever, despite the way he's gesturing with each line; in a subsequent testimony, his emotions start fluctuating all over the place in an attempt to keep in control of himself. It's a very disturbing effect that makes the player wonder if he's even human anymore.

Uncanny Valley / int_9e2f90f4	comment	One Piece: Oda just loves to make Gonk characters so the Uncanny Valley is no stranger to the series. Played straight with Laffitte◊ whose face doesn't change at all, even when damaged. Satori from Skyepeia is just odd, with his completely round glasses, his high voice and "dumpling"-like body. Fukuro of CP9 is just plain weird, thanks to his big round body and his vaguely disturbing, rotten-looking zipper teeth. Plus, there's the insistence of having him be voiced by a female seiyuu in the anime, which just adds to the uncanny. Kumadori is another weirdo who invokes this reaction. However, since he's based off Kabuki theater, as shown by his appearance/behavior, it's more understandable. Most of the villains and zombies in Thriller Bark go straight into Uncanny Valley territory, though it's mostly Played for Laughs. The tree zombie is very creepy since it's got a human face stitched to a tree trunk. Hogback and Absalom are very off-putting, especially in Absalom's case since he's not a zombie but still has the mouth of a lion and other "parts". Perona and Cindry are more attractive but still have their creepy moments. Finally, Gecko Moria looks like an outright monster despite being supposedly "human". In a similar vein, we have the Homies from Whole Cake Island. While a lot of them are merely talking animals (something not unique to One Piece), others are talking inanimate objects. This, combined with the Alice in Wonderland aesthetic, results in an extremely◊ eerie effect. Made all the more creepy by the fact Homies are actually made from people's souls. Duval's original face◊ is very uncanny before Sanji rearranges it. Of course, thanks to his personality, he's still pretty freaky◊ even with his new face. Due to the fact that the admirals are based off of famous Japanese actors, this can happen. While the first admiral shown, Aokiji, does look like a normal character, Kizaru is slightly more realistic, and Akainu doesn't even look like he's part of the show, looking exactly like the actor. Fujiora is the same, to Akainu-level creepily realistic. In Dressrosa, three individuals are deep in the Uncanny Valley thanks to personality quirks. First we have Cavendish, or more specifically his evil alter ego, Hakuba◊. There's also Sugar of the Doflamingo Pirates, mainly due to the fact she looks like she's 10 when she's actually 22. This, mixed with Sugar's Soft-Spoken Sadist nature, makes her very off putting. Finally, there's Dellinger, who doesn't seem too bad at first, but then it's revealed that he's a human/fighting fish fish-man hybrid, and can grow a set of razor-sharp teeth and a dorsal fin. When he does this, his eyes turn red. Pudding, thanks to her Split Personality and her deranged distortion of her face (which, by the way, has a third eye). Wano arc Due to being based off Ukiyo-e paintings, Otsuru and Kyoshiro have this effect. The SMILE users from Kaidoâ€™s army who have eaten the artificial Devil Fruit that gives them various animal-like appearances. Except unlike Zoan users who just look like perfect human-animal hybrids, SMILE users with only a few exceptions (such as Speed) have animal body parts growing out of them in all sorts of bizarre places◊. Although the effect is more amusing than unsettling. The failed SMILE users definitely invoke this being very disturbing and extremely tragic. As seen with the poor people of Ebisu Town and Killer who unknowingly ate inefficacious SMILE fruits and now are incapable of showing any emotion beyond joy and laughter even while sobbing in despair.

His more conceptual albums like An Empty Bliss Beyond This World and Everywhere at the End of Time are meant to be musical illustrations of the headspace of those suffering from mental disorders like Alzheimer's disease and dementia, and become even more unsettlingly warped and disturbing over time in a way that evokes losing your mind. In a more visual sense of this, the accompanying album cover illustrations by Ivan Seal also count. While his paintings never depict human subjects, the inanimate sculptures he does depict are nevertheless very ambiguous, unidentifiable, and quietly impossible, behaving in ways that wouldn't make sense in real life.

In the original 1956 version, when people start to be replaced, their closest relatives start to notice something off about them. A young woman is convinced that her beloved uncle is another man since, despite looking just like him, the gleam in his eyes is gone. A boy knows that his mother isn't his mother anymore because he knows her so well that he can recognize that something is just wrong about her. In the 1978 remake, the effect is subtler, but goes clear and glaring in the scene where a replacement gone wrong results in a pod person with the body of a dog and the face of a man. The result is, well, disgusting.

Uncanny Valley / int_b6c15d0	comment	The Conversion Bureau: Although a lot of it is heavily dependent on the individual writer due to the general nature of these works, many Deconstruction Fics depict the Newfoals (humans turned into ponies through a magical potion) as giving off this vibe to humans and natural born ponies. The Conversion Bureau: Not Alone and its sequel The Conversion Bureau: Conquer the Stars: The newfoals are able to get sad, scared and even annoyed and frustrated, but they can't get angry or assert themselves. The natural born ponies are revealed to be unsettled by this, while the humans are just put off by how the newfoals possess their former human selves' memories and none of their original personality. The Conversion Bureau: The Other Side of the Spectrum: Aside from being perpetually smiling, glassy-eyed Extreme Doormats with no free will or individuality (to the point where many characters liken them to zombies), TCB!Trixie also points out that every single Newfoal, no matter how long it's been since they were ponified, is a blank flank, and she treats it as the unsettling icing on top of the creepiness cake. It's basically Getting Smilies Painted on Your Soul taken up to eleven and then some. To a lesser extent, Comet Tail in the Asia Side Story finds regular earth horses to be rather unsettling and strange looking, though she notes they are still just somewhat better than the Newfoals. Another character named Sergei references this trope by name. The Negotiations-verse: Twilight Sparkle inwardly admits that even when she still had complete faith in Celestia and wholeheartedly supported the conversion of humanity, the newfoals always rubbed her the wrong way with how they always seemed to be "too nice" and constantly happy. Pinkie Pie even noted how fake their smiles looked before the war kicked off (though unlike Fluttershy, who defected to aid humanity, Pinkie didn't act on her own doubts about the conversion).

Their true form, Fecto Elfilis, has a similar effect — while they have a humanoid, angelic design, they also have disproportionately large hands, Creepy Long Fingers, and digitigrade legs, which adds to their appearance as an Angelic Abomination. Even further, as Chaos Elfilis, their eyes are sunken inward to give the effect of staring at the player.

"Kerblam!" has the titular MegaCorp's omnipresent robots, which have faces reminiscent of ventriloquists' dummies, and which companions Ryan, Graham and Yaz find unsettling. The Doctor tells them off for being "robophobic". "The Robots of Death" references the Uncanny Valley effect in the form of "Grimwade's Syndrome", (named after Peter Grimwade, a production assistant who always complained about having to do robot-themed episodes) a mental disorder whose sufferers subconsciously equate highly humanoid robots with animated corpses; the robots in that particular story looked just slightly less human than the animatronic dummies on a Disneyland ride, but the idea of being surrounded by human-sized creatures with emotionless and immobile features is unpleasant enough that the audience could easily accept it. Jack Harkness evokes this for the Doctor as a living fixed point in time, "a fact", which his Time Lord instincts balk at. The Family of Blood from "Human Nature"/"The Family of Blood". Perfectly normal-looking people turned to pure terror through a combination of Verbal Tics, Creepy Monotone, unsettling facial expressions and body movements.

The Knave of Hearts is particularly creepy because unlike the Queen, Cat, and Tweedles, he seems normal at first glance. It's only when he moves that you notice he's wrong: an effect achieved by lengthening his limbs and torso just a wee little bit too much to be properly human. The White Queen just feels slightly weird due to the exaggerated dark make-up and flaunting mannerisms. You might say she's adorably wrong in this sense.

At a passing glance, you might not even notice that it isn't his actual face. But when you get a good look at it, you notice something wrong. Very, very wrong. It looks like it was based on a human face, but one rendered soulless and inhuman by some unspeakable evil.note It was actually a mask of William Shatner as Captain Kirk. It gives the impression that Myers used to be human, but is now some horrific parody of humanity. The effect is unsettling at first, but the longer you look at it, the more it stares back, like some terrible staring contest. And the mask is never going to blink. Dr. Loomis' description of Michael's actual face fits this trope like a glove.

The dashboard is made of wood, the exhaust system is made of plexiglass, none of the controls move and the key is just a stick of metal left in an ignition that doesn't turn. The worst is under the hood, where the vehicle has no distributor cap and wires that just feed into the engine block rather than the battery, meaning there's no way it can be driven. Not that it needs to, since there were no signs of mud or dirt on the tires, implying it teleported to where it was found.

Uncanny Valley / int_e5feb1e	comment	Ace Attorney: The Blue Badger. He's only a battery-powered wooden panel of a mascot, but his vacant eyes, perma-smile, and jerky movements make him creepy to many characters. Phoenix mentions that if a child saw it, they'd probably have nightmares. It's a 3D model in a mostly 2D game. And Edgeworth... well, he sums it up pretty nicely. Calisto Yew from Ace Attorney Investigations falls into the trope because of how she behaves in the courtroom. She frequently bursts into laughter, even while talking about serious subjects like murder and her own past, and does it when she takes a hostage during the case she shows up in. Edgeworth himself finds her to be creepy. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney â€“ Dual Destinies's Video Game 3D Leap gives it, of course, the chance to play this intentionally. Two examples come to mind: Aristotle Means and that goddamn smile, and the phantom and his loose mask. Speaking of the phantom from the final case, their entire character seems to have been an intentional example of this. For context, the phantom is a Master of Disguise who does not feel anything, yet can convey facial expressions as if he does. When Phoenix and company start to corner him, his facial expressions start to mismatch his statements, such as smiling when he's trying to sound angry. When Athena runs her Mood Matrix on him, she finds that there is zero emotion in his voice whatsoever, despite the way he's gesturing with each line; in a subsequent testimony, his emotions start fluctuating all over the place in an attempt to keep in control of himself. It's a very disturbing effect that makes the player wonder if he's even human anymore.

Uncanny Valley / int_e6b693d8	comment	IT adaptations: Pennywise the Dancing Clown from It (1990), with layers of clown makeup and a nigh-permanent smile played brilliantly by Tim Curry is extremely off-putting, especially when he gets sharp teeth out. There's even early designs◊ where he's even creepier and diseased-looking but the filmmakers thought Pennywise should be able to lure children therefore he should not be automatically scary, and ironically through a certain amount of Narm, Curry's Pennywise is actually quite funny. Remake duology: Bill Skarsgard plays Pennywise like an absolute monster: even in a normal conversation with Georgie at the start, Pennywise is literally drooling with hunger while talking to the boy like he's an animal; at one point, he just loses the thread of conversation and stares blankly at Georgie like he's not used to talking like a human. When actually moving, 2017 Pennywise is even more terrifying, contorting his body freakishly◊ and making exaggerated movements that are disturbing. People actually thought CGI was used to make Pennywise's eyes stare in separate directions but Skarsgard actually did it himself, which impressed/scared the director. It's even more scary when we learn Pennywise can accurately look/move like a human being, as at one point in the Library when Ben is staring at the book leading up to a Jump Scare. In the background you can see the Librarian stop stacking books and stares at Ben from behind with a huge scary smile on her face, getting closer while Ben looks at the book. Then after the Jump Scare, she goes completely back to normal.

Those possessing the Strain have leonine features, lobeless, flat ears, and a general sense of something being off. This imposes a penalty to Social rolls, as people find them very offputting. (Taking the Striking Looks merit can help negate the penalty, as it makes the unusual features of being a Strain bearer look more exotic than creepy.) They especially bother werewolves, as their scent is completely wrong; as such, werewolves absolutely refuse to associate with Ractain Strain bearers, and thus they can't be wolf-blooded.

It seems that Starfleet crews found it difficult to trust medical care in someone "not real" and would often forget they were a sentient, self-aware hologram, leading them to treat them as though they were not even there. They also seem to have been designed a little too lifelike for people's tastes; the EMH Mk1 was too pompous, while its replacement, the EMH Mk2 was scathingly sarcastic, etc. As of "Life Line", the Doctor's creator reveals that they were up to a Mk4 and still running into this problem. Granted, this is less because of the uncanny valley effect and more that every version of the EMH has their physical appearance and demeanor based on an actual human.... and the creator keeps modeling them after smug, condescending assholes (starting with himself).

Uncanny Valley / int_f00d733b	comment	New World of Darkness: Promethean: The Created puts a different spin on the Uncanny Valley. The player characters are artificial humans, ranging from reanimated corpses to magically animated statues, who appear human through the thinnest of supernatural veneers. Muggles can tell the difference on some deep, fundamental level, meaning that spending too much time around them is enough cause to haul out the Torches and Pitchforks. Saturnine Night gives us a more "routine" example with Dr. Robot Hughes, a scientist whose lifelong goal is the creation of successful sex robots. His previous attempts were all terrible failures due to the Uncanny Valley. Only when a Qashmal guided him to an unconscious Galateid did he manage to create one that actually worked - and that was because he'd unwittingly created a clone. A similar effect happens to vampires in Vampire: The Requiem. As they get older and lose touch with their Humanity, it gets harder for them to interact nicely with mortals. They forget to do things like blink, breathe, vary their vocal inflections or send off the other signals that humans unconsciously do without thinking. Even if they do make an effort to do all these things, vampires that have lost enough Humanity will appear like walking, talking corpses: The Nosferatu clan gets this all the time, no matter how high their Humanity. Some of them look just plain ugly, but others might look perfectly normal... but when they interact with other people, they may carry about them the sterile scent of a hospital ward, or a gaze like they want to see what the other person's guts look like. They always carry the idea that there's something wrong directly centered on them. There's even an entire bloodline devoted to inverting the curse by bathing in blood to improve their appearance... and even then, it doesn't work, because they become too beautiful to be anything human. This is also the case in the Old World of Darkness. In Vampire: The Masquerade, a vampire has to spend blood in order to mimic a human, and the cost rises quickly with a falling humanity. Additionally, skin tones and monstrous features become more and more pronounced as a vampire forsakes humanity, and alternate moral paths which abandon humanity make vampires unable to spend blood to mimic human functions. Another World of Darkness example is the Ingamu from Beast: The Primordial. Like all Beasts, they draw from a strain of fears, and their fear is of "the other." As such, there's a sense that they just aren't right... which is driven home by their Horrors, which often appear human but has something distinctly ''off' about them.

Uncanny Valley / int_f1da64b5	comment	The Lord of the Rings: The scene on the Extended Edition of The Return of the King with the Mouth of Sauron: that unnaturally large mouth and grin.... It came about because Peter Jackson walked in on the editing, decided he wasn't scary enough and had them double the dimensions of the mouth in both directions. It succeeded admirably. He originally wanted also to turn his mouth sideways, but they couldn't make this look remotely natural with his real chin moving normally, so this idea was thankfully scrapped. (It would have also been upsetting for other reasons.) A more subtle example would be GrÃÂma Wormtongue, whose corpse-like makeup was meant to make him look fairly creepy. The part that really did it was that actor Brad Dourif shaved his eyebrows. Off-set and without makeup, people kept telling him there was something just not right about him. Additionally, his girlfriend was not pleased to hear he had apparently shaved his eyebrows for a second time. Cate Blanchett's portrayal of Galadriel certainly dips towards the Uncanny Valley. There's something very unusual and not quite "normal" about her. For example, the eye shine when she speaks to the Fellowship in their first meeting. All other characters, including Celeborn, have a single rather large point of light reflected in their eyes. Galadriel's eyes reflect a globe of multiple tiny points of light. Then you consider that Galadriel is not only among the oldest, wisest, and most powerful Elves in Middle-Earth, she is the only Elf in the films to have been to Valinor: she was born in the Undying Lands under the light of the Two Trees, and was one of the Noldor who went into exile in pursuit of the silmarils. Galadriel is literally living in two different worlds at once. These effects are entirely deliberate. To produce the unique eye light reflection, a special "Galadi-light" (which reportedly looked like a Christmas tree) with numerous small lights was constructed to be her spotlight. In addition, she was filmed at a different frame rate than the rest of the cast to produce her 'slow' movements... except for when she goes completely off the deep end when Frodo offers her the Ring and she shows what she would become if she took it.

Uncanny Valley / int_f45ab001	comment	In the early issues of the 1978 Spider-Woman run, this is Jessica Drew's curse, such that the comic's early tagline is "To know her is to fear her!", and later "Marvel's Most Misunderstood Heroine!" Biologically part spider and raised among the High Evolutionary's beast men, there's something subtly but indisputably "off" about her body language and demeanor that makes most people instinctively afraid of her, making it almost impossible for her to find a home or earn an honest living, let alone have any friends. She eventually learns that she's been emitting a pheromone which creeps everyone out (though some men find it very attractive) — when she learns how to control it via medical means, she's able to live a much more normal life.

Uncanny Valley / int_f481d3e4	comment	Prometheus: Michael Fassbender's cheerful monotone, neutral expression, and the fact that he can apparently cry on demand help to pull this off. Through the movie, small whirrs can be heard with most of his movements, and the Uncanny Factor goes off the scale when his head gets pulled off by a furious Engineer. Arguably, it's played with in a scene where David 8 is shown dyeing his hair.

Uncanny Valley / int_f85e4899	comment	Lil' Cal is described as being in "the Uncanny Laurentian Abyss". Most notably, his eyes are always at a much high resolution than anything else in the otherwise blocky Pixel Art Comic. Really, though, if Mr. Hussie wishes to use this, you will know: for instance, a Diagram; a self-portrait intended to disturb; the Duttle... the list could go on and on.

Uncanny Valley / int_f8df4747	comment	In The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye, this is a big reason why Empurata victims are shunned by society: the amputation of their faces and hands strips them of their Cybertronian identity, while they can still speak, move and transform. For Cybertronians, Empurata victims are horribly disfigured, even though to the readers, they're still just robots (since Cybertronians are already on the far side of the valley).

Uncanny Valley / int_fa026a25	comment	In Bride of Frankenstein, the Bride looks mostly normal, unlike the original Monster, but her hair and wardrobe are famously peculiar, and Elsa Lanchester's performance as her is wonderfully off-putting. Her eyes are perpetually wide, yet her expression is almost completely blank. Her arms seem oddly stiff, her balance is just a little off, and the way she turns her head seems more birdlike than human. Then there's her unexplained, inhuman-sounding hiss at the end. This is probably why, despite saying nothing and doing virtually nothing in her few minutes of screentime, the Bride became a One-Scene Wonder that's famous even today.

Uncanny Valley / int_fb9e667a	comment	Through a Diamond Sky: Jordan takes the doppelganger issue mostly in stride...but is never entirely sure what to make of her husband's double, Clu. The same author has Tron: Invasion (a very loose adaptation of TRON 2.0), where Jet and Mercury appear as this to each other. Jet observes that Mercury's face is a little too angular and her movements a little too precise to be human, while Mercury is vaguely put off by Jet's hair color, the lack of circuitry under his gridsuit, and the "strangely flat" quality to his voice.

Uncanny Valley / int_fcfa72e	comment	Drive (2011), starring Ryan Gosling as a character who is never given a name other than "Driver" and is more-or-less human most of the time but seems able to just turn off all emotions at will for the purposes of kicking ass. Your mileage may vary about how well that qualifies him for this trope, but when he dons his human-like rubber stunt driving mask and practically stares someone into drowning himself in the ocean, this trope is in full swing.

Uncanny Valley / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Mr. Data, the android in Star Trek: The Next Generation, sometimes slips a little ways down the right side of the Valley — though, as he's played by a person, he never gets very far down. Though the grimace-lockjaw-rictus-smile he had during the dancing scene in "Data's Day" greased the slope quite effectively. This trope was cited in all but name when it was revealed to Data that he was designed to not perfectly mimic humans as it tended to creep people out. Switching him off also has this effect, though for the opposite reason (the character we are expected to believe is a machine looks disturbingly human when he is deactivated and effectively dead). As Riker says in "The Measure of a Man", after demonstrating this during a trial of Data's personhood: Which may be a big reason why the Amargosa scene in Star Trek: Generations wigged out a lot of people. Especially when his emotion chip overloaded and he couldn't stop laughing. In the episode "Clues", everyone on the ship but Data is knocked unconscious after going through a wormhole. He tells them they were out for only a few seconds, but strange hints that he may be lying begin to appear. Picard gets increasingly frustrated as he — and the audience — realize just how hard it is to figure out what's going on inside Data's head, and how unsettling that can be. Data's relationship with the uncanny valley is nicely illustrated when contrasted with his brother/prototype Lore. Lore had more human qualities than Data, including emotions and the ability to express them.... but this only made him unpredictable and dangerous to be around. As a result, Lore comes off as too human, with his emotions not matching up at all with what's happening around him, and it creeps out the audience. In response, Dr. Soong constructed Data to replace Lore and consciously dialed back the human qualities so he's be approachable and polite, keeping Data out of the valley. "Brothers" is another episode where Data's inhumanity was brought into sharp focus. For reasons that only become clear later, he suddenly seizes control of the ship and pilots it by himself to an unknown star system. The frightening ease with which he accomplishes this — the entire rest of the crew are essentially powerless to stop him — and his blank expression throughout (even as a child's life is threatened by his actions) can be very disturbing.
