This is largely due him to being a CompositeCharacter with Tenchi, as it's eventually revealed that Yosho/Katsuhito Masaki is his maternal grandfather.

** The Godzillas' [[note]]1954, his son from 1985-1994 "Senior", and his adopted son "Junior" from 1992-Present[[/note]] vaguely defined base species, the "Godzillasaurus" is either a Tyrannosaurid or not a dinosaur at all, but a non-mammalian Synapsid depending on which Toho source is used. Here the Godzillasaurus is explicitly identified as a type of Ceratosaurid.
** Baragon, Anguirus, Yonggary, Rodan, Varan, and Raiga have all gone from unidentified dinosaurs to chimeras created through ancient science and mysticism altering a base template. In particular Baragon's template was instead a Dicynodont therapsid and Varan is mentioned to have her genome modified from a monitor lizard. Yonggary has also gone from a theropod to a prosauropod and Raiga is now a modified Godzillasaurus.
** Mothra Lea is referred to as a mothra, however she is actually a hybrid of a mothra and battra.
** In the spin-off ''Fanfic/EquestriaGirlsDinosapien'', Eno is no longer a descendant of ''Dromaeosaurus'' and is instead a Troodontid; whereas his enemies have gone from similar to a ''Prenocephale-Pinacosaurus'' mixture to descendants of ''Dakotaraptor''.
** King Kong is identified not as a gorilla or descendant of ''Gigantopithecus'', but a Hominin descendant of ''Ardipithecus'', meaning he is actually a close relative of humans.
** Monster X is no longer a single specimen entity but the results of an Xillian volunteer splicing himself with Grand King Ghidorah's genes and essence.
** The Sirens are no longer a unique species but the results of very nonconsensual crossing of three Windigos forcing themselves on two mermares; meaning they are hybrids.

*** Peter in the original is a OneShotCharacter who was merely human, at least at first, because Victor injects him with serum and he shows dinosaurian eyes... but we never learn if he ever changes otherwise from it because he never appears again. In both versions of [=DinoSquad RX=], Peter is Victor's second-in-command because of both his UndyingLoyalty, and him being the first success story that Victor has had with trying to create a perfect dinosaur all on his own; specifically giving Peter the morph of an ''Alamosaurus'', and thus completing his status as an AscendedExtra.
*** Victor himself is a human from the modern age, unlike his canon self who was a dinosaur mutated with a human form just like Moynihan, who both survived into the present day when they were originally from the Late Cretaceous. Moynihan is otherwise unchanged in her origins except being an ''Acheroraptor'' instead of ''Velociraptor''.

** ''[=DinoSquad RX=]'' has gone through two iterations, both being fanfics named after and based upon the series ''WesternAnimation/DinoSquad''. With the exception of [[TyrannosaurusRex Max]], every cast member from the canon who could transform has their animal form's species changed completely. Roger goes from ''Styracosaurus'' to ''Triceratops prorsus'' specifically, Fiona goes from ''Spinosaurus'' to ''Edmontosaurus'' in the most drastic of the changes, Caruso goes from ''Stegosaurus'' to ''Ankylosaurus'', specifically a juvenile one due to his AgeLift. Buzz, meanwhile, becomes a ''Quetzalcoatlus'' compared to ''Pteranodon'', and unlike everyone else, the term Dinosaur doesn't even get remotely branded upon him. Victor and Moynihan were originally ''Dakotaraptor'' and ''Acheroraptor'' respectively, but then the second iteration of ''[=DinoSquad RX=]'' changed Victor into a completely fictional species that resembles a Haast's Eagle but is significantly bigger in both general size and wings, and having a tail akin to Acheroraptor [[spoiler:and is heavily implied to have been a man made species.]]

** Thorin and his party are replaced by Jaune and his party of humans and faunus, with the dwarven civilization as a whole replaced by [[TheClan the Valkyrie clan]](as in, Nora Valkyrie's massive extended family, who are master miners, stoneworkers, and resident [[DugTooDeep people who delve to greedily and too deep]])
** Elves are replaced by humans and faunus, depending on the group.
** Uruk-hai, trolls, [[spoiler:Smaug]], and other such things are Grimm, though [[spoiler: Smaug WasOnceAMan, the Mad King of Vale [[TheCorrupter Felix]](yes, ''that'' [[Machinima/RedVsBlue Felix]])]].
* In the DarkerAndEdgier ''Comicbook/CaptainCarrotAndHisAmazingZooCrew'' fic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/673833/1/Amazing-Zoo-Crew-The-Harmony-Trap The Harmony Trap]]'', the counterpart of Rubber Duck (and [[CompositeCharacter sometimes Fastback]]) is an eagle, and the counterpart of Little Cheese is an armadillo. Since they're both shapeshifters, they can take the appearances people expect [[ATrueStoryInMyUniverse from the comics]], but those are their true forms.
* ''Fanfic/ChildBornOfLove'': Many characters received changes due to the fanfic being written and concluded before the finale of [[Manga/SoulEater the canon manga]].
** Death the Kid was [[spoiler:a full shinigami created from an aspect of Shinigami-Sama's soul]] in-canon. Here, he is a HalfHumanHybrid.
** In-canon, Chrona is the androgynous non-witch child of Medusa (implied to have been [[ArtificialHuman created artificially]]). Here Chrona is female and [[spoiler:a demi-witch (a rare and dangerous breed of witch that is usually exterminated at a young age) and eventually revealed to be the fabled "Witch of Destruction".]]
** In-canon, Noah is revealed to be [[spoiler:an ArtificialHuman spawned from the Book of Eibon as a conduit to spread the Madness of Knowledge]]. Here, he is a warlock and former mister-partner of Kid's mother Maria.

** Pyrrha is Pyrrhanykos, an {{Adorkable}} young[[note]]Well, young for a dragon. She notes that, for dragons, saying you've been somewhere for thirty years is equivalent to saying you've been there for twenty minutes[[/note]] red dragon.
** [[spoiler: Ruby, Yang, and their family are werewolves, with Summer, Raven, and Qrow also being [[OurOrcsAreDifferent orcs]]]].

** [[spoiler: Winter and Weiss are [[WingedHumanoid hailene]]]].
** [[spoiler: Blake is a cat hengeyokai]].
* ''Fanfic/TheDarkLady'': Downplayed. Gideon is still human, but because he was conceived and born in the Enchanted Forest while Rumpel's curse was still in full-effect, Gideon was born with the same scaly-skin, as well as an affinity for magic.
** Robin II's name is brought up as being nothing but a coincidence, instead of being named after Robin Hood. This is because Robin Hood is not her father, with mentioning that she is a [[DivineParentage Demi-god]], implying her father to be Hades.
* In ''Fanfic/StevenUniverseAndTheHuntersOfArcadia'', Jamie is revealed to be [[spoiler:a changeling spy sent by the Janus Order to gather intel on all of the magical weirdness in Beach City]].
* The ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' fanfiction story ''Fanfic/ValesUnderground'' takes place in a real-world setting. So various [[LittleBitBeastly Faunus]] characters in canon who appear in the story can be assumed to be just plain humans.
* ''Fanfic/BecomingTheMaskTrollhunters'': James Lake Jr. is not the protagonist of the story. Instead, the story is centered around Jim, the changeling that replaced the actual James Lake Jr. and has lived his life in his place since infancy, and it is this very changeling that looks after Barbara, has made friends with Toby and is chosen by the Amulet to become the Trollhunter.
* In ''[[Fanfic/RedSadie The Eye of the Storm]]'', it's revealed that Sadie's father is actually [[spoiler:a Gem, making Sadie a HalfHumanHybrid]].
* ''Webcomic/DisneyHighSchool:'' All of the main characters are humans, even if they were [[Disney/TheLittleMermaid mermaids]], [[Disney/{{Hercules}} gods]], [[Disney/WreckItRalph video game human characters]] or [[Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit Toons (human ones or of other species)]] in their respective movies. The creator has noted that she won't be trying to humanize outright animal characters, however; perhaps the most radical change so far is [[Disney/{{Frozen}} Kristoff]]'s family, [[{{Gonk}} who still look pretty trollish]].
* In ''Fanfic/NeitherABirdNorAPlaneItsDeku'', Izuku Midoriya is a Kryptonian instead of a Quirkless human, with both the SuperpowerLottery and the angst that comes with being the Last Son of Krypton.
