No one takes the saying "you are what you eat" literally; it's not as though being a vegetarian will make you a Plant Person, or eating pure beef will make you a Minotaur. Some non-human critters didn't get the memo though, because for them eating people means being people. For some supernatural, alien, or stranger creatures to pretend to be human at all requires that they make a periodic consumption of Human Resources. Or simply put: Ghoulie has to eat people to look like one.
For the non-human, this will allow them to shapeshift into a human form, potentially that of the eaten, though it may only allow them to become a human version of themselves. The non-human may use non-cannibalistic methods as well, for example a fae creature might steal the shadow of a human to maintain their Glamour, a mutant might graft skin or new appendages from healthy humans to avoid Power Degeneration, a robot or alien may use Replicant Snatching, and a vampire may have to drink blood to avoid turning into a hideous monster. It's worth noting that perfectly normal humans may be able to do this through a spell, ritual, or if they have the Cannibalism Superpower.
Depending on what the non-human takes, the victim may be mildly inconvenienced, severely injured or even killed. Some may be able to make a complete recovery, others will be scarred or crippled for life, and some unlucky souls will end up an Empty Shell, Killed Off for Real, or even Deader than Dead. Needless to say, this makes being nice pretty difficult.
Most non-humans do this in order to maintain a Masquerade, and pose as human. Especially Tragic Monsters may be doing this because they want to Become a Real Boy. Especially monstrous ones will enjoy Showing Off the New Body. If the non-human doesn't eat people, whether out of niceness or inaccessibility, they will revert to their Shape Shifter Default Form. Things may turn From Bad to Worse from there though if that entails turning into an unthinking, horrific monstrosity that can never fit in among humans. And of course things will Go Horribly Wrong if their cannibalism is also caused by a Horror Hunger, and deprivation has the nasty side effects of making them dangerously hungry. Subtrope of Eating the Enemy, Cannibalism Superpower, Collector of Forms, Face Stealer.

Phantoms features an Eldritch Abomination that absorbs the memories of the humans it eats. As a consequence, it has come to believe that it is the Devil, since that is what many of its victims thought when they encountered it and were consumed.

X-Men: The villain Dirt Nap gains the appearance and powers of people he swallows. The victims can survive if he coughs them up within a certain time frame. For some reason, he can't do anything about the smiley face symbol that always appears. He also winds up stuck in the form of a rat for much of his history. Eventually, he becomes an ally to Generation X. He is even able to separate M-Plate back into the twins and Emplate by sucking them up and separating them, though this ends up killing him.

Patternist: The master Biomancer Anyanwu learns new Voluntary Shapeshifting forms by consuming a small amount of flesh or blood from unfamiliar animals. This also lets her add traits from those animals to her own body, such as an eagle's vision or a dolphin's improved ability to process oxygen. Eventually, she learns to copy people so precisely that she can have children who are their genetic descendants.

Harry Potter: Polyjuice potion requires a bit of the person being impersonated as an ingredient. The good news is that this only takes something small, like a hair, to work. The bad news is that the person has to still be alive when the bits are taken. So anyone attempting long-term impersonation has to keep the original alive and captive, which happens to Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody when Barty Crouch Jr. impersonates him.

Supernatural:
Ghouls are scavenging monsters that eat corpses and take on the memories and appearance of the last person they ate.
Leviathans don't need to eat you to take your appearance. All they need to do is absorb a bit of your DNA (they can even pull it off using hair fished out of a shower drain), which allows them to shapeshift into a perfect copy of you. However, as Extreme Omnivores with limitless appetites, they'll quite eagerly eat you anyway if they get a chance.

Youma in Claymore can take the appearance of those they eat, and this also gives them the ability to draw from their victims' memories to fool their families (and eventually eat them too). Later revealed to be a lie. The Youma are really parasites that infest their victims' brains, mutating them into monsters and driving them insane with a hunger that only human entrails can satisfy.

The vampires in Daybreakers have to drink human blood or else they transform into subhuman monsters. Expanding on this, drinking vampire blood (even their own) causes the mutation to accelerate. And conversely, drinking the blood of an ex-vampire will turn the drinker back into a human.

Dungeons & Dragons: Mongrelmen are descended from beings that had this ability. Mongrelmen themselves are Mix-and-Match Critters comprising aspects of all the humanoid creatures their ancestors consumed... and a few clearly non-humanoid for good measure. At least, that's one version of their backstory. The more common one is simply that they are what happens when you breed together enough humanoid races.

A non-sapient example in Rebuild World: Organic Technology-based monsters left behind by the Neglectful Precursors called the Old World, originally designed to serve as security for facilities, evolve and change their capabilities based on what monsters they eat, creating wildly different subspecies based on the assimilated capabilities. They do this via Nanomachines that also infect their brains allowing them to be controlled (however due to an obvious lack of maintenance from their creators, this programming is usually corrupted.)

In the Urban Dragon series, ghouls gradually turn into an average of the creatures they consume. Eating animal meat turns them into bestial monsters, while eating humans allows them to keep a human appearance and intelligence. One ghoul, who works as a mortician, is noted for being exceptionally beautiful because she is able to select her meals from the most attractive corpses.

Anima: Beyond Fantasy: The D'Anjainy play this overlapping with Face Stealers, as they skin the face of the person who want to copy and place it over theirs to look as the previous owner of that face. The game says nothing about what happens to the unfortunate victim, by the way.

Tamaki Amajiki, one of the Big Three of UA in My Hero Academia, has the Quirk "Manifest". He can shapeshift his body into things based on what he's eaten in the last twenty-four hours. In the debut of his power, he turned his fingers into tentacles from some takoyaki, his left hand into a clamshell from some clams, and grew bird wings and talons from some fried chicken. The Yakuza Raid arc reveals this applies to anything he consumes, as he manages to eat a crystal created from the Quirk of one of the Yakuza members he was fighting, allowing him to augument his appendages with crystals and win the fight.

The History of the Galaxy:
A nightmarish version occurs in one novel in which a human ship arrives on a habitable world that does not appear to have any animal life. Then the humans get picked off one by one by strange shapeshifting creatures. In the end, all humans have been consumed, but the shapeshifters also absorb their memories along with their DNA and begin to think of themselves as human, not understanding why they are suddenly amorphous blobs able to form into anything they wish. Another novel has a scout ship re-discovering the planet only to realize that the shapeshifters are intelligent. The captain of the scout ship doesn't care and wants to exterminate them in order to claim the planet and retire on the fortune (habitable worlds are extremely valuable). The protagonist manages to get rid of the captain and leave, wiping the location of the world from the navigation computer, so the creatures can live in peace.
Yet another novel reveals that the shapeshifters are the result of an ancient experiment to create immortality. It worked. The resulting creatures went out of control and began consuming all the surrounding fauna, eventually leaving the half-dozen shapeshifters the only non-plant organisms on the planet. The same experiment on another world had slightly better results.

A two-part episode on Sliders involves the logistics behind moving a select portion of the population before their Earth is destroyed. It turns out that the man in charge has to ingest brain tissue from compatible donors due to treat a fungal brain infection. Injecting the tissue causes him to temporarily morph into the person while the donor goes into a coma. The list of people he handpicks to move on to the new world are all compatible; he intends to use them all to stay alive.

The Elder Scrolls: Some vampire bloodlines have an unusual inversion of this trope. The longer they go without feeding, the more powerful they become, as well as becoming more monstrous in appearance, which tends to give away their vampiric nature. Further, they risk going irrevocably insane and feral if they go too long without feeding, becoming "Bloodfiends". The vampire bloodlines the Player Character can join in Oblivion, vanilla Skyrim, and Online function in this way. (The Dawnguard DLC for Skyrim changes up the functionality, giving access to the Vampire Lord Super Mode form instead.)

Parodied in The Napoleon of Notting Hill when an extreme British nationalist who preaches cannibalism of non-British people discovers, to his horror, that this trope is true, and therefore he is now slowly turning into an Italian organ-grinder — which is apparently the only type of edible foreigner he could find in London.

Chronicles of Darkness: Spirits commonly consume other Spirits for their Essence; if the meal isn't a spirit of the same type or of a type that makes thematic sense for the spirit to be eating (like a wolf spirit eating a rabbit spirit), the meal's Essence can infect and alter it, sometimes to the point of creating a hybrid "Magath" mishmash of concepts.

Invader Zim: In "Dark Harvest", Dib tells Zim that he knows he's an alien because humans don't have a squeedlyspooch, and Zim doesn't have any normal human organs. Zim's solution is to stalk his classmates, steal their organs, and stuff them inside himself. This trope is played with, however, in that Zim doesn't so much eat the organs as teleport them out of his victims' bodies. At one point, the nurse tells Zim he's extra human for having multiple organs, while Dib almost gets hauled off by the MIB for missing some.

In the music video for "Best Friend" by Foster the People, a supermodel devours other supermodels whole and alive and so she can take on desired aspects of their appearance and further her career. Over the course of the video, she eats one woman for her beauty mark, another so she can have her legs, and others. However, over time, with all the clashing body proportions, she starts to look less like a beautiful woman and more like a spindly, freakishly tall, disproportioned alien. By the video's end, she winds up barfing up the dress of a woman she had eaten, chokes on it, loses her newly acquired features, and dies on the catwalk.

Warhammer 40,000: Several alien species have this trait, but the two most prominent are the Kroot and the Tyranids:
The Kroot are a race of humanoid avians which evolve primarily by eating other beings and absorbing their genetic traits, with the various subspecies (Krootox, Kroot Hounds, Knarlocs...) being Kroot who ate too much of a certain species and are now stuck in that role. In fact, the reason Kroot are able to build spaceships is because they ate a bunch of Orks and absorbed the Mekboyz' genetic memory. Kroot also have a taboo against eating Tyranids to avoid creating some sort of horrendous feedback loop (a fear the Tyranids do not share, though the Imperium was too busy glassing the planet to figure out the full extent of the consequences).
Tyranids are the stereotypical Horde of Alien Locusts who use Organic Technology, so their main approach to warfare is consuming new species and splicing in genes from consumed creatures to mutate new subspecies that fit specific roles.
There's also an alien species called the Simulacra, which in their natural form look like mostly featureless humanoids. They can mimic the appearance of other humanoids by eating their brains, which also grants them the victim's memories. The knowledge and ability to maintain the form vanishes once the brain is digested, forcing them to find new victims every so often. They're also the only one race that plays this trait fully straight, as neither Kroot nor Tyranids can directly metamorphose into their victims.

Drowtales: This is apparently the method that Vel'akar (sentient demons) use to appear more humanoid, since by default they resemble Blob Monsters. Khaless, Snadhya'rune's protector twin, is actually such a demon that devoured the original Khaless and seems to have taken over her role, and she later inflicts the same thing on Lulianne and Sael Dutan'vir and is able to pose as them without anyone noticing.

In Mistborn: The Original Trilogy, the kandra are creatures who can take on the appearance of a person after consuming their bones. They do this for humans as a service for a very specific kind of payment. They are literally contractually obligated not to kill humans, though. Their employers provide the corpse. Particularly skilled kandra can assume someone's form without having eaten them. They still need a skeleton, though, since they're basically Blob Monsters in their true forms and don't have any rigid bones of their own.

From Dusk Till Dawn's version of vampires, culebras, have this as an ability. After drinking someone's blood (as well as their soul, based on Carlos' description), they can shapeshift into that person's form, complete with their memories and the ability to mimic their attitudes and behavior.

Doctor Who New Adventures: In Human Nature, one of the members of the Family is a shape-shifter who can imitate any animal he's eaten part of, including humans. If he does it while they're alive, he can also gain their memories.
