* ''LightNovel/ShinkaNoMi'': Two of the members of Seiichi's harem started out as animals before evolving into humans. Saria was a pink gorilla who turned into a gorgeous redhead upon being fatally impaled while protecting Seiichi, and is able to [[VoluntaryShapeshifting switch between both forms at will from then on]]. Meanwhile, Rurune was a talking donkey and became human when she ate some Evolution Fruit seeds. Unlike Saria, she cannot revert to her donkey form.

** Similarly, in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsRainbowRocks'', [[EnthrallingSiren The Dazzlings]] were sirens in the form of [[SirensAreMermaids merponies]] who attempted to take over Equestria thousands of years ago. They were defeated by Star Swirl the Bearded and banished to the human world, where they were trapped in human form with a limited version of their powers.

* ''Fanfic/CardcaptorRad'': Because of a FreakyFridayFlip, Hot Shot the Franchise/{{Transformer|s}} and Rachel the human switch minds. Hot Shot thinks it's a chance to know humanity more acutely, but continually finds himself disenchanted; he hates how he has to breathe constantly, that you have to pay for things and that he can't take care of himself or even can't handle high levels of emotions in a human body. By the end, he's more than glad be back in his own body.

* In ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'', [[http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=4541 after a trike feminist derides his fembot as "fake," Slick brings her into the Reality Zone. This results in her control box breaking, and she runs off -- in "auto-pilot mode".]]

* ''Literature/IncarnationsOfImmortality'': In ''Literature/OnAPaleHorse'', to grant a client's last request for a good story, TheGrimReaper tells a story about a whale who gets transformed into a woman. She falls in love with a man, but gets disgusted when she finds out he's a whaler. Her lover tries to explain that whale meat is the village's main source of food, but she dumps him and returns to the sea. [[spoiler:However, she eventually meets a whale who is really a transformed ''squid''. He is trying to investigate why whales hunt his kind. She tries to explain that squid are the whale's main source of food, then realizes that humans and whales are NotSoDifferent. She returns to human form, reconciles with her lover, and they get married, presumably HappilyEverAfter.]]

* Gorilla Grodd's first appearance in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' ends with him being turned into a human after his devolution tech is put in reverse, though he's a gorilla again in later episodes.

** The ant transforming is treated similarly to the Literature/{{Discworld}} wolf below; Cassie remembers the Animorphs' [[ContinuityNod past experience of turning into ants]] and wonders what it would be like going from a mindless part of the colony to a human's sentience and independence, concluding that it would be [[HumansAreCthulhu just as horrible for the ant to become human as it was for the Animorphs to become ants]].
*** It screams as it loses its mind and its connection to the colony. One of the most terrifying scenes in a series packed with horror and ParanoiaFuel

* Downplayed but simultaneously [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructed]] and PlayedForDrama in the ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague''[=/=]''{{WesternAnimation/Castlevania}}'' crossover ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12849210/1/Lord-of-the-Castle Lord of the Castle]]''. The character in question, Alucard, is already [[HalfHumanHybrid half-human]] due to being a {{Dhampyr}} with his father being [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Dracula]], but an encounter with [[GreatGazoo Mr. Mxyzptlk]] ends up turning him completely human. In doing so, Alucard loses his regenerative powers (which served as his immune system) and ability to sustain on blood (essentially leaving him starved), which leads to his organs failing and needing urgent medical attention. Simultaneously, though, [[spoiler: him being human left [[EldritchLocation Castlevania]] without a lord, leading to [[TheBaroness Carmilla]], [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent Cornell]], [[HornyDevils Magnus]], and [[SinisterMinister Shaft]] escaping from Hell, and with the aid of [[TheDragon Death]] (who takes after his game portrayal of Dracula's [[UndyingLoyalty loyal]] servant instead of the animation's portrayal of him as the GreaterScopeVillain), intend to kill Alucard and bring Dracula back to life]].

** [[spoiler:From the same series: Melony, a simple watermelon outfitted with Meggy's headgear, also becomes human when a Fierce Deity Mask lands on it. The result is a cute, sleepy, hoodie-wearing girl with the voice of [[WebAnimation/{{Hololive}} Korone Inugami]] who likes to sleep on bushes.]]

* [[VideoGame/{{Splatoon}} Inkling]] Meggy Spletzer from ''Machinima/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers'' ends up turning into a human at the climax of the Anime Arc. [[spoiler:In order to stop Francis, she allows Axol to drain all of her ink to power up his magic pen, Inkweaver, to draw something that can defeat Francis' [[Anime/DragonBallSuper Super Saiyan Blue Goku]]. She survives, but loses everything about her Inkling self aside from her voice. And she loses ''that'' in the climax of the Website/YouTube Arc, where a remote command from the [=YouTube=] Master Control Remote switches her language from Inkling to English. According to the creators, Meggy's humanization was planned from the beginning]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'' episode "Night of the Living Grim", Grim contracts a magical disease called "Encroaching Doom Syndrome" that ends up turning him into a mortal human.

* ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob'' has the [[StarfishAliens butterfly creature]] Princess Voluptua, who spends most of her time in the comic disguised as a beautiful woman.

* The titular Nuku-Nuku of ''Manga/AllPurposeCulturalCatGirlNukuNuku'' was originally a cat, but her brain was implanted in a [[RobotGirl robot body]] to save her, also giving her human-level intelligence (so technically an UpliftedAnimal). She's [[{{Cyborg}} not technically human]], but that's not apparent unless her robotic cat ears are up.
