* ''VideoGame/PartTimeUFO'': Despite being a sentient UFO, Jobski adjusts fairly well to Earth life and makes a lot of friends (and money) doing part-time jobs for various people. It helps that Jobski's not the weirdest thing there, what with the talking statues, mecha laboratory, and technicolor fish it encounters. Ankh is heavily implied to have been one of these as well, though she's established herself as a shopkeeper for galactic goods.

** Yuki Nagato is a humanoid interface created by an alien group called the Data Integration Thought Entity, being sent to Earth to observe the titular Haruhi Suzumiya due to the latter's RealityWarper abilities. It's later revealed that Ryoko Asakura is one as well, though she's much better at passing as human than Yuki (at least until she decides to kill Kyon with a knife just so she can get an observable reaction from Haruhi).

* ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya'': Yuki has the major stuff down, but when you get down to the details like how a computer is used or maybe what a glasses fetish happens to be...also Kuyou, the resident {{Starfish Alien|s}}, who is so different that she can't really have the concepts explained to her.

* ''LightNovel/TheDevilIsAPartTimer'': Satan Jacob, a demon lord from the magical world of Ente Isla, is forced to flee to another dimension with his most loyal general Alciel. Unfortunately, that world is Shibuya ward of Tokyo, Japan on modern-day Earth. BroughtDownToNormal by the lack of magic, "Maou Sadou" is forced to take a job at a fast-food restaurant while his room-mate "Shiro Ashiya" tries to find a way home.

Not to be confused with the aptly named ''VideoGame/AmongUs''.

* ''Series/MyHero'': Thermoman is a dim-witted Ultronian superhero who takes on a human alias (George Sunday) on Earth and tries to keep his identity as an alien superhero a secret. However, his unfamiliarity with human life leads to many humorous misunderstandings.

* The central plot of the ''Film/SonicTheHedgehog2020 movie universe''. The main character is an [[AlienAnimals alien hedgehog]] who meets a sheriff of a small town. The [[Film/SonicTheHedgehog22022 sequel]] expands on this.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddparents'', alien prince Mark Chang flees to Earth to escape an ArrangedMarriage. [[spoiler: He grows to like it enough that, even after the StoryArc is resolved, he doesn't go back.]]

* Happens in WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAndTheAlienInvaders.[[spoiler: Shaggy and Scooby's new girlfriends, Crystal (for Shaggy) and Amber (for Scooby), are eventually revealed to be aliens--specifically ones from a planet about twenty lightyears away from Earth. After the villains are apprehended, Crystal and Amber have to return to their home planet and are forced to ends things with Shaggy and Scooby, but they at least share a heartfelt goodbye with them.]]

* The short-lived Nickelodeon show ''Series/TheJourneyOfAllenStrange'', about a young EnergyBeing living incognito as a human on Earth.

** His counterpart in ''Series/MiraiSentaiTimeranger'' Sion, [[HumanAliens looks human]] and [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair tends to dye his hair]], but is the LastOfHisKind.

* ''ComicBook/MartianManhunter'': [[LastOfHisKind The last surviving Martian]] who was accidentally transported to Earth and has been forced to live here since. Also applies to his adopted niece, Miss Martian, who is a member of an offshoot species referred to as White Martians. Both of them are able to blend in thanks to their {{Shapeshifting}} ability, but struggle with loneliness over being the last survivors of their respective races.

This also have nothing to do with the game called among us.

* ''ComicBook/{{Icon}}'': A SupermanSubstitute who landed on Earth just prior to the American Civil War and took the form of a black slave. As a result of having a [[WeAreAsMayflies longer lifespan than humans]], he has been forced to take multiple identities over the last century by [[MyGrandsonMyself pretending to be his own descendant]]. In the Modern Day, his current identity is Augustus Freeman IV, the Great-Grandson of his original persona, who is inspired by a young teenage girl named Raquel to use his powers to help others as the Hero Icon, with Raquel becoming his {{Sidekick}}: Rocket.

* ''ComicBook/MartianManhunter'' is this thanks to his ability to shapeshift into human form.

* ''ComicBook/{{Icon}}''. When his ship crashed on Earth, he automatically assumed a human shape, but as he was found by a plantation slave in 1839 and has [[MyGrandsonMyself extreme longevity]], his experience is markedly different for a Superman {{Expy}}. He becomes TheCape when young [[WrongSideOfTheTracks Raquel Ervin]] urged him to use [[IBelieveICanFly his powers]] to be an inspiration, making herself the sidekick Rocket in the process, but doesn't give up his hope of returning to his home world.
* In some incarnations, J'onn J'onzz, the ComicBook/MartianManhunter, fits this trope.
