Xenofiction	comment	A few works of Science Fiction and Fantasy (and, in some cases even realistic fiction) take the Point of View of normal animals, Intellectual Animals, Intelligent Gerbils, or Starfish Aliens. More than that, the creators of such stories take great pains to think through what it would actually be like to be a rabbit, a dolphin, or a giant betentacled being who smells colour. A good rule of thumb for figuring out if something is in this genre or not: if you can replace the non-humans with (maybe superpowered) humans without too much trouble, it's probably not Xenofiction: Beast Fables and works about Funny Animals are, in general, not examples. Likewise in many a Mouse World, size is often the only major difference between humans and non-humans; however, there is Xenofiction featuring non-humans with great differences in size. If it's taking place under the nose of humans, there may or may not have a Masquerade, and humans will probably either be bastards or eldritch abominations. It may make use of Humans Through Alien Eyes. A non-human character may be Intrigued by Humanity. Xenofiction usually explores Bizarre Alien Psychology. Compare Mature Animal Story. This is also common in fanfics of Mon series where the mon is the POV character. See Xenofictional Literature for an index of Xenofiction. Contrast Most Writers Are Human. Compare to Narrative-Driven Nature Documentary for nature documentaries that anthropomorphise the animals. Not to be confused with Xenafication, or the Xeno games, or Xenomorph fiction.

Humans, to those beings capable of noticing them at all, are seen as pitiably odd for being constrained to a single, ephemeral, matter-bound form and only existing in one layer of perception at a time.

Xenofiction / int_185cf06d	comment	War With No Name is a case of this involving Uplifted Animals given a full Anthropomorphic Transformation. The first book begins with the protagonist Sebastian as a normal cat, and the way the story is conveyed early on reflects the somewhat vague understanding he has of his environment. Over the course of the first chapter, Sebastian slowly becomes more and more cognizant of the things happening around him. It comes to a head when the actual spoken dialogue of the humans is finally shown to the reader, firmly establishing that Sebastian has achieved enough sapience to understand them.

However, the whole thing is from the god Dormin's perspective, and they're definitely not human; they have radically inhuman senses and run into trouble explaining how they perceive things to humans as well as trouble understanding normal human experiences, such as why Wander gets angry when they first try directly intervening in his nightmares without asking permission. Their morality is also a little blue and orange, given they initially consider the very abnormal situation with the Queen of the Castle in the Mist to still be a mortal problem for the mortals to solve.

An example of Xenofiction happens, however, when the Always Chaotic Evil harmsters arise, and very quickly eradicate themselves. The trope is much stronger with the Calliducyonidae, a family arising 45 million years after the harmsters, containing two genera of dog-like sophonts, the wolf-like southhounds and the fox-like northhounds, which are depicted from the stories they tell and their perspectives on life.

Xenofiction / int_468bebb0	comment	It's not a major theme, but occasionally crops up in Discworld, most prominently in the Witches books which deal with "Borrowing" (a sort of light possession) of animal minds. They are described in synaesthetic terms: herbivore minds are coiled silver springs, always cautious and ready to flee; predator minds are purple arrowheads of directed purpose; human minds are complicated silver clouds that are impossible to Borrow, but may narrow down to an arrowhead when, for example, a hunter focuses his attention on his kill; and bees are a literal Hive Mind also considered impossible to Borrow. Because The Mind Is a Plaything of the Body, any human who tries to fully possess an animal is drawn into that animal's different and limited perceptions and eventually loses their sense of self. Witches Abroad also deals with a wolf that was anthropomorphised by the villain to fulfil the role in Little Red Riding Hood, and had been driven insane by its predator mind being forced to think.

Xenofiction / int_8192cba	comment	Toy Story explores this trope as applied to sentient objects: Most of the conflict revolves around issues that are specifically "toy problems," such as destructive children and animals that play too dangerously hard, being separated from or abandoned by a child, being broken, malfunctioning, or losing parts, being put into storage, getting thrown away, friends and Love Interests being separated from them in garage sales, etc... They all have a strong psychological need to be played with by a child, and suffer if that need is not met, and they get very attached to their owners, who all eventually get rid of them or get too old to play with them anymore. Failure to meet these needs causes at least two toys to become villains. It's a surprisingly hard life to be a living toy. The first movie's villain is actually only "evil" in the toy's perspective. He is just a kid that is too destructive with his things, and didn't know his toys are alive. Which is really the toys' own fault when you think about it. In Toy Story 4, Ducky and Bunny react to another damaged plush toy's exposed fluff much like a human would react to gore.

Xenofiction / int_83d41855	comment	Gargoyles is a relatively mild example, but its use of the trope is still definitely noticeable. For the most part, the titular winged reptilian humanoids are able to communicate and interact with ordinary humans with ease, but they have trouble grasping the human concepts of naming and individual parenthood. To elaborate: Because they turn to stone during the day, Gargoyles think of themselves as part of nature, and they don't think to go by personalized names unless humans assign them names. They also consider it strange to assign names to places, since they have trouble recognizing human boundaries in the natural world. Hudson adopts his chosen name as a grudging joke, after he claims that naming people is just as foolish as naming the sky or naming a river (only for Elisa to tell him that New York's river is, in fact, named "The Hudson"). Gargoyles collectively raise eggs in rookeries, and all hatchlings are considered to be the collective children of the clan.note To underscore the point: Greg Weisman personally stated that Hudson is actually Broadway's father, and that Othello/Coldstone is Gabriel's father. Because of Gargoyle ideas about childrearing, none of the characters ever think to bring this up in the show. This ends up causing some drama in the later seasons, when Goliath meets his long-lost biological daughter Angela, who was raised by humans on Avalon. With her human upbringing, Angela has trouble understanding why her father doesn't acknowledge the significance of their familial bond, and why he doesn't treat her any different than the other members of his clan. Perhaps part of the reason is because of his bad relationship with Demona (Angela's mother—and, if anything, Angela's relationship with Demona is worse).

Some are just from the perspective of Ax, the team's Token Non-Human, and often involve him trying to understand humanity; we also have the Chronicles, prequel books focused on other alien characters. The Hork-Bajir Chronicles and the quite trippy Ellimist Chronicles are especially notable, having no humans outside of the Framing Device. Meanwhile The Andalite Chronicles tells Elfangor's backstory, beginning when he rescued a pair of humans from Alien Abduction by The Greys, while Visser is a Villain Episode about Visser One's initial encounters with humanity. Morphing has xenofictional elements built in; while in morph, The Mind Is a Plaything of the Body, so you have to fight to control the animal's instincts, which can be incredibly difficult (especially for hive insects, which trigger Loss of Identity pretty quickly). We also have books focusing on Tobias, who got Shapeshifter Mode Locked as a hawk in the first book.

There are no humans in the entirety of the game, and although its android protagonists are based on the template of human body and behavior, they are also fundamentally alien in their interaction with the world, seeing how both human-built androids and the alien-created machines are primarily software constructs steering expendable mobile platforms to physically interact with each other. This leads to all sort of predictable weirdness (often supported by the core game mechanics), from androids routinely opting for explosive self-destruction to defeat enemies (after backing up their data) to the easy and readily available memory manipulation and personality reprogramming (including hacking oneself).

She has Named blood, although her wild life and childhood trauma means she doesn't initially enjoy the benefits of it. As Thakur tries to befriend Newt, he finds his own thoughts slipping uncomfortably between sapience and instinct.

Xenofiction / int_b2afdc9d	comment	Chronicles of Darkness: While the Old World of Darkness has elements of this, Chronicles steps it up a notch by making all supernatural templates something very definitely distinct from human that just happen to want or need to wear a human skin occasionally, going so far as to give each supernatural template a Karma Meter with wildly variant and mutually-exclusive requirements and mechanically punishing them for any attempt to play a human that just happens to have a bunch of funky superpowers, usually to the point that if you keep it up you go mad, become a ravening evil something-or-other, and turn into an NPC antagonist. Mage: The Awakening, where the players are biologically fully human, ironically enough has the most of this, as your baseline powers cause you to see the world in a dramatically different way and something like half of your potential abilities automatically ding the karma meter or in themselves have the potential to drive you or the entire local world severely, literally insane. By comparison, the splats with the LEAST xenofictional elements are the ones where you're playing an actual beast that craves human blood and/or flesh. Werewolf: The Apocalypse also has heavy elements of this, as a good number of werewolves in the game are Lupus (wolf-born). While each tribe has a certain amount of Lupus in it, the Red Talons are almost exclusively Lupus, with no human members; as such, their tribe book is written from the perspective of a wolf who regards strictly human constructs with uncertainty (and a heaping pile of scorn).

They have their own culture based on wolf behaviour and lifestyle - for example, since wolves mate for life, they believe that a mated pair become one soul. If one dies, the other may die of a broken heart, since half his or her soul is gone. They also have great respect for their prey and are very confused when they see a human kill something without then eating it. They are horrified to learn that humans kill just for fun. The same author has a similar book told from the point of view of lions, The Way of Kings (2021), and a collection of short stories, The Dream Eaters and Other Stories, the majority of which are from a non-human perspective.

Hogarth, follows a three-gendered alien race that has two chances to change sex in puberty, and is prone to complete Identity Amnesia after severe trauma. Identity issues that are extremely rare or nigh-nonexistent in humans are commonplace to them, to say nothing of how complicated relationships get with them.note Because childbirth usually inflicts the mind death on the mother, homoromantic relationships are the norm, with females typically treated as little better than breeding stock. However, there are many exceptions in the stories, most often involving one of the sterile neuters who aren't supposed to have any sex drive.

They can talk to each other but, unlike most talking animals in movies, they don't understand human speech—therefore, they're completely caught off-guard when their human family drop them off on a farm and have no idea if they'll ever return. It gives the whole film a bit of a Humans Are Cthulhu vibe; the three pets love their humans, but simply never have any idea what's going on.

Human nature and society is a mystery to them, so they usually keep to themselves when discussing the wonders of the strange world they exist in and the meaning of their own existence. The irony perhaps is, that the humans in their world have become so mechanical and withdrawn, that nobody notices that these robots have become far more human than themselves. But nobody wants to bother giving a reply to a machine that wants you to explain God to them.

But it half-fits this trope: while the author goes into great deal about owl biology and incorporating aspects of that into their culture, there's still some stuff going on that's unambiguously human — forges, and a giant colony of owls of various species ruled by a monarchy. Plus the first half of the series is a pretty blatant Beast Fable about World War II.

Xenofiction / int_de8ae019	comment	Star Carrier: Three out of four books intersperse two human points-of-view with a POV of alien antagonists. Ian Douglas heavily explores what the world looks like to them, for example with the Slan, a heavily collectivist species that sees by echolocation, or the H'rulka, Living Gasbag colony organisms 200 meters long that view a Boarding Party of Navy SEALSnote old acronym updated to "Sea, Air, Land, Space" as bizarre parasites. When the Slan capture a female human, their ship commander scans her using his echolocation and tries to figure out human internal structure, as the echolocation can see into objects. Some organs are properly identifies, while others are completely off (the Slan determines that the brain is somewhere in the stomach area, for example). It then tries to figure out how the human captive echolocates. Since the Slan have two appendages whose ends emit sound to be reflected back into their ears, they determine that the closest analogy would be the two bumps on the prisoner's body (i.e. breasts). Later, when communicating with Captain Trevor Grey, the Slan commander assumes that Grey is blind/deaf because he lacks the echolocating organs.
