** In a more traditional way, [[spoiler: Ramsus Kahran]] is a clone of [[spoiler: Emperor Cain]]. He has some issues with it...

* In David Wingrove's ChungKuo, the [=GenSyn=] corporation makes brutish animal-men, as well as attractive female servants.

* Fran Madaraki, Veronica, and most of Fran's household staff in ''FrankenFran'' are all creations of the FrankensteinsMonster variety. Fran even has bolts in her head.
** Let's not forget Gavrill, who was also created by Professor Madaraki.

* In ''Manga/AnimalLand'', [[spoiler: Human shaped Chimeras are artificial humans that are capable of BodyHorror transformations.]]

** Pandora in Greek myth was a sculpture that the Gods made and brought to life.
* Literature/TheBible, Literature/BookOfGenesis: The story of Adam and Eve, with two variants: Both being made from clay, or Adam being made from clay, then Eve from his rib.

* [[spoiler:Fate Testarossa]], the Wolkenritter, [[spoiler:Erio Mondial]], the members of the Numbers (including [[spoiler:Subaru and Ginga]]), [[spoiler:Vivio]], [[spoiler:Jail Scaglietti]] and all familiars from ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha''. Notable in that they're all three kinds; clones, living programs, ''and'' cyborgs.

* In ''DGrayMan'' you have the second Exorcists which include [[spoiler: Yu Kanda and Alma Karma]]

* ''TriGun'' 's [[spoiler: Vash, Knives, Tessla, Chronica, Domina, and all the other plants]] are genetically modified alien creatures with some astonishingly human characteristics.

* Ennis from ''LightNovel/{{Baccano}}!'' is a [[OurHomunculiAreDifferent homunculus]] created from the cells of the BigBad Szilard and an unspecified, unwilling female donor. The LightNovels introduce more homunculi, most notably PsychopathicManchild Christopher Shouldered.

* ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' occasionally features some of these. Examples include ''IMAGINE'''s Innocents and the ''Raidou Kuzunoha'' duology's [[RasputinTheMadMonk Rasputin]].

* In ''SuperRobotWarsAdvance'', the [[WarForFunAndProfit Shadow-Mirror]] employs troops of android {{mooks}} called the W-Series. The W-Numbers are a particular group of W-Series built to follow this trope, with female protagonist Lamia "W17" Loveless being a cyborg, who is apparently half and half. Her brain contains several computers, and parts of her limbs, sometimes entire limbs, are mechanical. She is made to [[TheMole infiltrate military organizations]], and [[RidiculouslyHumanRobot looks and acts so human, nearly no one can tell the difference]]. As well, she also has some form of super-strength and durability, but it isn't particularly important.

** The homunculi of the BigBad Duminuss in ''SuperRobotWarsReversal'' are this, each artificially created to be used as its minions.
** The Machinery Children in ''[[SuperRobotWarsAlpha Super Robot Wars Alpha Gaiden]]'' and the Database in ''SuperRobotWarsW''.

* The upcoming CrisisCrossover movie between KamenRiderDouble and KamenRiderOOO will feature an artificial human who is apparently a cell-medal-based clone of Oda Nobunaga, who was responsible for the unification of Japan in the late 16th century.

* ''VideoGame/DeusEx'' [[spoiler:the Denton 'brothers' are revealed to be completely artificially engineered.]]

* The [[strike:titular]] [[strike:main]] title character in ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow''.

* The most advanced models of Cylons on ''[[Series/BattlestarGalacticaReimagined Battlestar Galactica]]'' are biologically human to the point that they can mate with humans and produce offspring, and can only be readily identified as non-human by exposing them to certain exotic types of radiation. Some of them even [[TomatoInTheMirror fool themselves]].
* ''{{Caprica}}'' reveals that realistic humanoid (but not biological) Cylons could have existed 50 years ago (the accidental prototype was a ReplacementGoldfish for a scientist's daughter), but their creators ultimately chose the "toaster" design because the realistic androids were too [[UncannyValley unsettling]].

* [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Buffy's]] sister Dawn started out "life" as the Key to all dimensions, but was given a human form based on the Summers gene template and inserted into Buffy's family so that Buffy would protect the Key without question. A fake life-history was created for her and magically inserted into reality to facilitate this.
* [[TheSarahConnorChronicles Cameron]] is the most realistic Terminator ever made, capable of crying, eating and even occasional humor. Though often called a RobotGirl, she'll point out that she's a cyborg; living flesh over a metal endoskeleton. Calling her a "very scary robot" [[DeathGlare has been known to bother her...]]

* VideoGame/BladeRunner, like the film, features synthetic humans known as Replicants, which are only distinguishable from humans psychologically.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Xenogears}}'' the heroes find out that the species on the planet are not humans. Humans died out long ago (well, humanity's fate in ''VideoGame/{{Xenogears}}'' is ambiguous at best), and what's left evolved from the biological parts of their technology.
** In ''VideoGame/{{Xenogears}}'', [[spoiler: Ramsus Kahran]] is a clone of [[spoiler: Emperor Cain]]. And he has some issues with it....

* FrankensteinsMonster is one of the most classic and well known examples. While it is stressed at certain points through the original ''Literature/{{Frankenstein}} novel that the monster is an entirely unique species, he certainly has a human intelligence and personality.

** [[spoiler: As usual - with Kinoko Nasu that is - the 'truth' is more complex. Touko achieved a level of sophistication in "copying" herself, that the copy is no longer distinguishable from the original hence it ceases to be a copy and Touko can no longer tell which self is really "her".]]

** [[spoiler: As usual - with Kinoko Nasu that is - the 'truth' is more complex. Touko achieved a level of sophistry in "copying" herself, that the copy is no longer distinguishable from the original hence it ceases to be a copy and Touko can no longer tell which self is really "her".]]

* The Genetic Infantrymen from [[[ComicBook/TwoThousandAD 2000 AD's]] ''RogueTrooper'' series.

* ''Manga/DragonBall Z'' has Cell, who couldn't be called a human by any means, was a manufactured organism engineered by Dr. Gero by taking genes from each of the Z fighters.
