Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Monsters are fun. Whether it's a demon, genetic freak, lab accident, or just some kind of alien that happens to look really monstrous, the creators want to show this monster in all its glory. This means they will wear as little as possible to really let the audience see how, well, monstrous they are. Of course, they usually can't get away with a naked monster running around, but they want to avoid Nonhumans Lack Attributes for whatever reason. What do they do instead? Why, they'll slap on a Loincloth, pair of underwear, or maybe just some pants. The monsters in these situations are almost always sentient but decide to run around wearing as little as possible, rarely with anyone saying anything. This becomes really inexplicable when you have a Reluctant Monster character who is horrified by the way he looks. One would think he would want to cover up, but he doesn't. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Sometimes, if a person is transforming into a monster, they may have Magic Pants, invoking this trope. Other times they may have strategically growing natural moss or plants. Often overlaps with Walking Shirtless Scene. This rarely happens to female monsters, but if it does, expect it to have at least a little Fanservice along with it. Usually, this trope is found in comic books. Contrast with Exposed Extraterrestrials and Nonhumans Lack Attributes. Not to be confused with Monster Delay, where a monster seems oddly modest about appearing in front of the camera at all. |

For Dr. Manhattan of Watchmen, the level of clothing he wears at a given point of time indicates his growing detachment from humanity. At first, he continues to appear fully dressed after his transformation. But as time goes on, he pares down the uniform more and more until it's barely there at all, from full-body spandex, to a leotard, to speedos, then literally nothing. His last TV appearance creates a capsule version of this, going from a rather smart suit on the set to pretty much nothing after his abrupt departure cuts his last ties to Earth. | |

The Absorbing Man from The Mighty Thor can morph his body into anything he touches (if he touches steel, then his body turns to steel). For whatever reason, he often goes shirtless. Maybe so he doesn't accidentally turn into cloth? | |

X-Men: The Beast is another fine example. He started off looking reasonably normal. During this time, he was covered up almost completely. Once he turned into a furry monster, he stripped down to underwear. This is especially odd since the character is a very educated, polite individual who would normally be the type to dress in a dignified manner. Hank explained at least once, though it may not have been fully serious (or even canonical), that he dresses the way he does because all that fur got downright HOT when all covered up. When he DOES get fully dressed, he's about as dapper as a bulky, stocky man with bright blue fur all over his body can be. Another interesting case is Colossus. He is normal-looking but can turn himself into a metal humanoid. Usually, he wears very little, showing off his metallic form. In his earlier appearances, Marvel Comics editors felt it was unacceptable to have a half-naked man but it was fine if he was made of metal at the time. Because of this, Colossus was shown in full-glory while in his metal form but when it came time to change back into a human, the bare parts of his costume were colored blue. This mandate didn't last long, though. |

Hellboy wears little more than a long coat and brown shorts with a Utility Belt. The animated and live action versions of him gave him long pants, boots (the comic version had hooves), and sometimes even a shirt. | |

Vampire spirits from the Imperivm saga, which are barely meat-covered decayed skeletons, wear loincloths. Given that they are actually corpses of fallen men, one has to question how is that a piece of cloth resisted decaying while the rest of their bodies did not. Interestingly, the image for the spirits summoned from Carthage shamans' bodies show them wearing tattered robes, though their final aspect is the same. | |

Dark Souls: The Capra Demon, an infamously savage creature resembling a twelve-foot-tall human with a goat skull for a face. It inexplicably wears a tattered pair of pants. This is made even more odd by its similarly-built cousin, the Taurus Demon, being an example of Nonhumans Lack Attributes (as befits the story given by the game of where all the world's demons came from). In the DLC, there are bush-like creatures that also wear pants. This case is more justified, as these enemies' garb, gardening tools, and group cohesion help establish that these are past versions of previously-encountered enemies that went feral over the centuries. Of course, their pants-less future selves have no genitalia either, meaning they either lost them over time or simply donned pants purely as an expression of their own (relatively) civilized nature. |

Fullmetal Alchemist: Despite being an animated suit of armor, Alphonse Elric wears a loincloth to cover where his private parts would be were he human. (Though later he puts that spot to good use as a hiding place.) Justified in that the loincloth is actually covering what is likely several gaps in the armor that allow movement. Without the cloth, there would be more of an issue in that Al doesn't have any parts. |

Discussed in The Bartimaeus Trilogy. Bartimaeus appears to Kitty in a monstrous, demonic form in order to intimidate her... and Kitty tells him to put some pants on. Bartimaeus is baffled by this, as he's never bothered with clothes in that form and didn't think they would go with it very well. Kitty recommends Lederhosen. Then again, when he's in human form he apparently just wears a loincloth if he can get away with it, so maybe spirits just have different standards in general. | |

Discworld: Trolls (except Detritus, who wears a Watch uniform, and Chrysophrase, who wears a suit) mostly just wear a loincloth "to conceal whatever it was that trolls found it necessary to conceal." Golems usually avert this (some have been painted to resemble clothes, but in any case they lack attributes), but Going Postal has Gladys the Post Office golem, who wears a dress (and is called Gladys) because Miss Maccalariat objected to a "male" golem cleaning the ladies' restrooms. |

Mortal Kombat: Goro and Kintaro both wear black briefs, though there have been more substantial variations on their costumes over the years. This was blue for Goro and red for Kintaro, at least in the comics and novelizations, but obviously black in the video games. After adding a loincloth to Kintaro's design (he's still wearing the black briefs beneath it) in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, they seem to have followed this pattern with Goro in MK 9, adding a loincloth and various accessories (wristbands, etc) to Goro's outfit. Not to mention Sheeva, who's a female Shokan, who wears a Stripperific outfit. This is the source of more attention from fans than a four-armed muscular brawler would suggest. |

The Gargoyles are certainly intelligent, but apparently don't feel the need to wear anything more than loincloths. It's specifically mentioned that Gargoyles don't share all their values with humans, and heavily implied that they cover up as much as they do so as not to creep their human friends out. At least, the ones from 10th century Scotland are like that, gargoyle tribes from other areas (and times) have varying levels of dress. Interestingly, the main cast's elderly member is significantly more dressed than the others. Out of universe, a potbellied, beige-skinned old man would look stranger in a loincloth than the others. In-universe, he could use an extra layer of leather for protection since he's not as agile as he used to be. | |

Incredible Hulk: The Hulk often just sports a pair of pants. When Hulk gets a bump in intelligence he often starts wearing clothes. For example, when grey Hulk was thought to be dead and was free from transforming back into Bruce he lived a more normal life and developed a taste for tailored suits. She-Hulk likewise wears very revealing clothes with a combination of this trope and Fanservice. |

Superman villain Doomsday, in spite of being a berserk, rabid killing-machine, always takes care to wear a pair of green trunks to cover his junk. We see in his first appearance the trunks are the remnants of his containment suit that conveniently survived before blown off by the heroes, though it does seem weird for him to always be wearing them given modesty should be a totally alien concept to him. | |

Ben 10: Zig-Zagged: some aliens like Heatblast and Wildvine wore nothing more than the Omnitrix symbol, while others like Four Arms and Grey Matter wore a suit patterned like Ben's shirt. Some even had natural markings like Ben's shirt, such as Cannonbolt. In the first two sequel series, this is averted entirely for all aliens except NRG (who's in a containment suit) and Four Arms (who wore a much-maligned speedo and chest belt combo). And then in Ben 10: Omniverse, it's Zig Zagged yet again with aliens such as Diamondhead and Four Arms sporting uniforms based on 16-year-old Ben's shirt, and other less humanoid aliens such as Humongousaur and Shocksquatch sporting Thing-esque shorts while aliens like Heatblast and Bloxx go around with nothing on them. Meanwhile, Feedback, like Cannonbolt, is naturally colored like 11-year-old Ben's shirt. Omniverse plays with this with Rath, a tiger man alien form who is never clothed. When Ben meets other members of Rath's species, he's rather shocked to find out they normally do wear clothes, meaning any time he fought as Rath he really was, by their standards, running around bare-ass naked. |

Martian Manhunter wears a cape, underwear, and a weird x-shape vest that barely covers his chest. Not only is he highly intelligent, he is also a Shapeshifter so he could very easily form a nice suit if he wanted to. On the other hand, maybe the shape-shifting just makes the Martians indifferent to anything related to physical appearance, clothes/nudity included? Or he wears the uniform of a Manhunter (police officer) as seen in the 1998 Martian Manhunter series | |

Futurama: Strangely, Bender suddenly seems to feel the need to cover up in any situation where a human would, such as getting out of a bathtub, or sitting in a steam room. On at least one of these occasions, his towel has fallen... exposing nothing, lampshading just how ridiculous it is for him to be using one in the first place. Presumably it's for his own amusement. Bender's antenna (on top of his head) is generally treated as if it were the robotic equivalent of genitals (Bender calls it "Little Bender", there are jokes made about its size, it's explicitly involved in robot reproduction in "Bots and Bees", etc.), but he rarely if ever covers it, instead tending to cover the portions of his body that a human male would when he wears anything at all. |

The later Geneforge games lampshade this — thahds don't care whether or not they're clothed, and the Shapers that made them are too familiar with thahd anatomy to be concerned about the subject, but thahds that are around outsiders must wear loincloths to avoid "offending delicate sensibilities." | |

Played with in the case of Naal'suul in Drowtales, who after being fully possessed by a demon is not at all humanoid below the waist but retains her appearance above it, and quickly grows out of the clothes she had on when possessed in both senses of the word and goes around topless. And yet despite this she retains enough of her original personality that she covers her chest in the presence of others. | |

The Silver Surfer ran around in silver underwear in his earlier appearances. He has now been reduced to Nonhumans Lack Attributes. | |

In Teen Titans, Cyborg doesn't wear anything. He used to wear a jump suit hoodie with the hood up but Beast Boy convinced him he looks better wearing nothing. In Cyborg's case, though, half his body is robotic and he has nothing left to show. | |

Wildguard featured the massive rock-man Crag Langley among the contestants vying for a spot on the titular team. Crag doesn't wear a shirt because the large. craggy protrusions on his back would make doing so look really stupid. He does, however, wear pants and boots. | |

Tigra from The Avengers is a Cat Girl who usually walks around in just a bikini. Like in the Beast example above, it's been explained that having fur all over your body makes any other style of clothing both impractical and overbearingly hot — and since she's now operating out of Los Angeles, it'd just make things worse. | |

The Gargoyle race from the Monolith FPS Blood wear absolutely nothing, accessories or otherwise. While you always encounter them simply as enemies to deal with, the story information and character bios seem to indicate that they are sentient and do possess intelligence to interact on-par with humans. Nevertheless, they are always seen completely in the flesh (literally, as the common variety's full name is "Flesh Gargoyle"). This coupled with their skinny body physique tends to make their choice of attire stand out as well. | |

Sean and Patrick in The Monster Squad engaged in some Conversational Troping about this trope in regards to the Wolfman in an earlier scene. Sean points out that the Wolfman had to wear pants because those movies were made in the 40s and they didn't want us to see his..."wolf dork." Later on in the film, they actually have to face the Wolfman, and it is confirmed through Horace's Groin Attack that Wolfman does, indeed, have nards. | |

And then in Ben 10: Omniverse, it's Zig Zagged yet again with aliens such as Diamondhead and Four Arms sporting uniforms based on 16-year-old Ben's shirt, and other less humanoid aliens such as Humongousaur and Shocksquatch sporting Thing-esque shorts while aliens like Heatblast and Bloxx go around with nothing on them. Meanwhile, Feedback, like Cannonbolt, is naturally colored like 11-year-old Ben's shirt. | |

In Goblins, some of the characters, particularly the monsters released from the dungeon in Brassmoon City, fit this trope. | |

The Thing from the Fantastic Four is a prime example. He was turned into a monster and was traditionally disgusted with his appearance. Despite this, he often just wears blue underpants. When the team donned their costumes for the first time in Vol. 1 issue 3, Ben had a full-body costume and a silver helmet completely covering his head, but he quickly discarded them, complaining that the costume restricted his movements. Although usually sticking with his team-colored trunks, he wore a singlet in his solo book and his brief stint with the West Coast Avengers. Around the time the Invisible Woman began wearing a rather Stripperiffic version of her costume, the Thing adopted a new bodysuit, which also saw the return of the helmet for a while after Wolverine slashed the right side of his face during a tussle over the fugitive status of the Human Torch, leaving Ben's face vulnerable for a time. More recently he's been wearing pants, but still no shirt. In the a recent reboot of the team, after the Human Torch was believed dead, as the Future Foundation he's taken to actually wearing a full uniform.◊ At various points he's also been seen in a tank top, especially during his stint as a wrestler. The amount of clothing he's wearing at any given time probably has to do with the artist's deadlines as much as anything else. | |

The Beast in Beauty and the Beast wears only pants and a cape. As the story progresses he wears more clothes and Word of God said that if Belle had never showed up eventually he would have stopped wearing clothes entirely. | |

Completely averted with The Thing in Fantastic Four (2015). Unlike his comic book counterpart, he wears nothing and has nothing to hide. | |
