History Main / AlienAmongUs

* The main character in ''Film/SuburbanCommando'' is a HumanAlien stranded on Earth due to a mishap with his spaceship. He ended up having to rent a room in a house owned by a nuclear family to live in while he's getting his ship fixed.

* Creator/MikhailAkhmanov's ''Literature/ArrivalsFromTheDark'' series has an alien character whose name roughly translates as Exile. He is a Proteid (or Metamorph), a species of [[VoluntaryShapeshifting Voluntary Shapeshifters]], whose [[PlanetOfHats hat]] is observing other races using their shapeshifting and PsychicPowers. Exile has a rare genetic disorder that only allows him to fully shapeshift once, at which point he is stuck in this form for life (and they're, effectively, immortal), only able to make small cosmetic alterations. He chooses to be an observer on Earth and arrives in the 13th century during the Mongol invasion. He has secretly observed humanity, only interfering occasionally to subtly boost progress. When the [[HumanAlien Faata]] arrive to conquer Earth, humanity is far from ready to take them on, still being stuck in the Solar System and lacking advanced weapons. Exile gives the humans the means to destroy the Faata ship in such a way that it can be studied and its technology reverse-engineered. Since then, Exile has taken a slightly more active role in helping humanity, although he has always remained in the shadows, revealing himself to a select few individuals and changing identities (and faces) every so often.

* Lala from ''Anime/StarTwinklePrettyCure'' is a HumanAlien who lands on Earth and befriends the human PinkHeroine, Hikaru. She averts AliensSpeakingEnglish at first, but once the two of them become {{Magical Girl Warrior}}s, the TransformationTrinket takes care of translating. Though there's an AlienNonInterferenceClause, she gets around it by enrolling into school as a human, where her odd behavior sometimes raises eyebrows. She also brings along the squid-like alien Prunce, who usually disguises himself as Lala's backpack. Later on, they also take in a CatGirl alien named Yuni, who doesn't enroll in school and just kind of hangs out in tree branches until she's needed.

* ''Series/{{Tracker}}'': Cole/Dagon doesn't really make much effort to blend into human society. His speech is strange and monotonous, although it gets better in later episodes. He has trouble understanding things we take for granted (such as trying to explain to Mel, who knows who he really is, what ''Franchise/StarWars'' is). Even ''bathing'' is new to him, though that’s possibly {{justified|Trope}} since his species are indicated to be EnergyBeings. It's a lot easier for the alien fugitives, since they were forced to take human bodies to survive and absorbed their skills and memories. Cole arrived on his own and took on human form from an underwear ad.

* ''Literature/DemonicHousehold'': [[spoiler: The man who gives the protagonist the bug zapper in “Zapping Filth Away” is actually an insectoid alien in a human suit. He then secretly records him shocking himself on it again and again [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments so he can put it on the alien equivalent of the Internet]].]]

** ''Anime/{{Daimos}}'': The series begins with [[SpaceRomans Planet]] [[AngelicAliens Baam]] launching a war against Planet Earth after blaming them Earthlings for the death of their monarch, King Leon. Participating in the war are Leon's children, Prince Richter and Princess Erika, but while Erika is tending to the wounds of some of the Baam soldiers, her ship crashes and she loses her memory. She wakes up on Earth, having lost her memories, and is touched by the kindness of the humans that try to help her. She instantly falls in love with the human who rescued her, Kazuya, who feels the same way. Erika's love for Kazuya is undercut when Richter sends a transmission to Earth challenging the pilot of [[SuperRobot Daimos]] - the voice of her brother jogs her memories and she remembers that she's the Princess of the Baam and she's complicit in their war crimes against Earth. Scared that Kazuya would hate her if he knew the truth, Erika tries to run away from the base and fakes her death so he would stop worrying about her, but she's caught in the act and Kazuya notices her [[WingedHumanoid wings]]. Even then, Kazuya refuses to stop loving her and vows that they will reunite. Once Erika hears this, she becomes filled with relief. The rest of the anime is about the two trying to quell the fighting between their homeworlds and trying to establish everlasting peace, just like what King Leon would have wanted.
** ''Anime/{{Daltanious}}'': [[spoiler: When Planet Helios was destroyed, Emperor Palmillion ordered his senator, Earl, to take his son, Prince Harlin, and flee to safety. After they landed on Earth, Earl programmed his cryo-sleep device to awaken both of them in 1995, so that they could fight the Zaal invasion in time. Unfortunately, a malfunction happened in the device and Harlin awoke much earlier than he should have, in 1945, while Earl remained asleep. Prince Harlin (then three years old) escaped his ship and began wandering the mountains, where he was found by a Japanese kite painter, Kazuto Tate. Kazuto decided to adopt the boy and named him Hayato. Due to his young age, he forgot his DarkAndTroubledPast, and believed he was an ordinary Japanese boy. However, he would freqiuently have vivid dreams of his memories of his birthplace, the Planet Helios, which he chalked up to {{Hallucinations}}, until as an adult, he was discovered by fellow Heliosian Melipole and informed of the truth.]]

* In the short story [[http://sfreader.com/contest-2008-1.asp "On a Clear Day You Can See All the Way to Conspiracy"]] by Desmond Warzel, there are two aliens among us--one was sentenced to live here, and the second is here to keep an eye on the first guy.

* ''Anime/BraveRaideen'': [[spoiler: Akira's mother, Reiko Hibiki, is actually Princess Lemuria of the fallen Mu Empire. She is over [[Really700YearsOld 12,000 years old]], and has been feuding with Demon Emperor Barao her entire life as he destroyed Mu and fears her due to her immense power. Akira does't find out that she's a Mu until late into the series.]]

** ''Anime/VoltesV'': The Boazanian Empire is a planet located 14,000 light years from Earth, in the Scorpius Constellation. The Boazanians are split it into two classes - the [[HornedHumanoid those with horns]] and the [[HumanAliens those without them]]. The ones that have them look down on the ones that don't, and enslave them so that they can live in luxury. During the reign of the 123rd Emperor of Boazania, the next heir apparent to the throne, in spite of his RoyalBlood, was born without horns. After narrowly escaping fillicide, he was given prosthetic horns so he could live in peace. Things took a turn on the day of his coronation, when his [[BigBad sleazy bastard of a cousin]] exposed his dark secret to the public. The witnesses of the coronation were shocked at his deceit, and derided him as a "traitor". Humiliated, abused, and separated from his first wife (who later [[DeathByChildbirth died in childbirth]]), the ex-Prince of Boazania took up arms and began leading slave rebellions all over the planet, using his skill in technology to manufacture weapons for them. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, the Empire continued to crackdown on protests, to the point all chances for an equal Boazania seemed hopeless. Knowing that his intelligence was too valuable for the anti-slave cause to be lost, the ex-Prince's fellow rioters urged him to flee the planet and prepared a spaceship for him. The ex-Prince eventually landed on Earth, where a kind-hearted scientist discovered him and rescued him from dying. With the other humans he met treating him like an equal, the hornless Boazanian fell in love with the planet and felt a new hope for the future. That man is Kentaro Gō/Prince Gohl, the father of our main protagonist Kenichi Gō - which means him and his brothers are this trope too.]]
