** In ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'', Cyborg doesn't wear anything. He used to wear a jump suit hoodie with the hood up, but [[HoYay Beast Boy convinced him that he looks better wearing nothing]]. In Cyborg's case, though, half his body is robotic and [[BlessedWithSuck he has nothing left to show]].

* The Gargoyle race from the Monolith FPS ''VideoGame/{{Blood}}'' wear absolutely nothing, accessories or otherwise. While you always encounter them simply as enemies to deal with, the story information and character bios seem to indicate that they are sentient and do possess intelligence to interact on-par with humans. Nevertheless, they are always seen completely in the flesh (literally, as the common variety's full name is "Flesh Gargoyle"). This coupled with their skinny body physique tends to make their choice of attire stand out as well.

** During Marvel's "monster era", many of the monsters would wear a pair of briefs. They ranged from giant space dragons such as ''Fin Fang Foom'' to radioactive creations. The non-sentient monsters didn't make much sense, considering they shouldn't know enough to have any modesty while the intelligent monsters should be a bit more selective in what they wear. Case in point, the aforementioned Fin Fang Foom, a giant alien dragon from such an advanced race that... they are apparently okay with walking around in proportionally sized briefs. Fin Fang Foom occasionally appears without the shorts and may not even need them. This is spoofed to hell and back (like everything else) in ''ComicBook/{{Nextwave}}'', in which Fin Fang Foom's giant monster pants are a source of constant derision. It's the trope image for a reason.

** Tigra from ''ComicBook/TheAvengers'' is a CatGirl who usually walks around in just a bikini. Like in the Beast example above, it's been explained that having fur all over your body makes any other style of clothing both impractical and overbearingly hot -- and since she's now operating out of Los Angeles, it'd just make things worse.

*** The Thing is a prime example. He's turned into a monster and is traditionally disgusted with his appearance, but he often just wears blue shorts. When the team don their costumes for the first time in Vol. 1 issue 3, Ben has a full-body costume and a silver helmet completely covering his head, which he quickly discards, complaining that the costume restricts his movements. Although usually sticking with his team-colored trunks, he wears a singlet in [[ComicBook/TheThing his solo book]] and his brief stint with the ComicBook/WestCoastAvengers. Around the time when the Invisible Woman begins wearing a rather {{Stripperiffic}} version of her costume, the Thing adopts a new bodysuit, which also sees the return of the helmet for a while after ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} slashes the right side of his face during a tussle over the fugitive status of the Human Torch, leaving Ben's face vulnerable for a time. More recently, he's been wearing pants, but still no shirt. As a member of the Future Foundation, he's taken to [[http://www.petpeoplesplace.com/petstore/pet-image-large/ff-fantastic-four-variant-1-djurdjevis-gatefold-cover_140537862800.jpg actually wearing a full uniform]]. At various points, he's also been seen in a tank top, especially during his stint as a wrestler. The amount of clothing he's wearing at any given time probably has to do with the artist's deadlines as much as anything else.

** The Absorbing Man from ''ComicBook/TheMightyThor'' can [[MaterialMimicry morph his body into anything he touches]] (if he touches steel, then his body turns to steel). For whatever reason, he often goes shirtless -- [[WildMassGuessing maybe]] so that he doesn't [[PowerIncontinence accidentally turn into cloth]]?
** The ComicBook/SilverSurfer ran around in silver briefs in his earlier appearances. He has since been reduced to NonHumansLackAttributes.
** Pip the Troll from ''ComicBook/Warlock1967'' usually just wears a loincloth, attire usually suited for savages. In fact, Pip is a member of [[http://i.annihil.us/u/prod/marvel//universe3zx/images/thumb/f/fb/IWatch.jpg/406px-IWatch.jpg the Infinity Watch team]], whose members tend to have pretty {{Stripperiffic}} costumes. They're all aliens, genetic creations, or otherwise superhuman. Adam Warlock himself -- the guy in the background of the picture -- wears a cape but also ran around in briefs at different points in his career.

*** The Beast is a fine example. He started off looking reasonably normal. During this time, he was covered up almost completely. Once he turned into a furry monster, he stripped down to briefs. This is especially odd since the character is a very educated, polite individual who would normally be the type to dress in a dignified manner. Hank has explained at least once -- though it may not have been fully serious, or even canonical -- that he dresses the way he does because all that fur gets downright ''hot'' when all covered up. When he ''does'' get fully dressed, he's about as dapper as a bulky, stocky man with bright blue fur all over his body can be.
*** Another interesting case is Colossus, who is normal looking but can turn himself into a ChromeChampion. Usually, he wears very little, showing off his metallic form. In his earlier appearances, Marvel editors felt that it was unacceptable to have a half-naked man, but it was fine if he was made of metal at the time. Because of this, Colossus was shown in full glory while in his metal form but when it came time to change back into a human, the bare parts of his costume were colored blue. This mandate didn't last long, though.

* Played with in the case of [[spoiler:Naal'suul]] in ''Webcomic/{{Drowtales}}'', who after being fully possessed by a demon is not at all humanoid below the waist but retains her appearance above it, and quickly grows out of the clothes she had on when possessed [[GagBoobs in both senses of the word]] and goes around topless. And yet despite this she retains enough of her original personality that she [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=10601 covers her chest]] in the presence of others.

** And ''then'' in ''WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse'', it's Zig Zagged yet again with aliens such as [[GemstoneAssault Diamondhead]] and Four Arms sporting uniforms based on 16-year-old Ben's shirt, and other less humanoid aliens such as [[EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs Humongousaur]] and [[BigfootSasquatchAndYeti Shocksquatch]] sporting [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Thing-esque shorts]] while aliens like Heatblast and [[BuiltWithLego Bloxx]] go around with nothing on them. Meanwhile, [[EnergyAbsorption Feedback]], like Cannonbolt, is naturally colored like 11-year-old Ben's shirt.

!Examples:

** In the first two [[WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce sequel]] [[WesternAnimation/Ben10UltimateAlien series]], this is averted entirely for all aliens except [[ILoveNuclearPower NRG]] (who's in a containment suit) and Four Arms (who wore a [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks much-maligned]] [[UnderwearOfPower briefs]] and chest belt combo).

->'''Sean:''' Look, Wolfman doesn't go to work, he's not like a "guy."\\

'''Sean:''' He had to wear pants. See, those movies were made in the 40's! He had to wear 'em so you wouldn't see his... wolf-dork.\\

* ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'': Despite being an [[AnimatedArmor animated suit of armor]], Alphonse Elric wears a loincloth to cover where his private parts would be were he human. (Though later he puts that spot to good use as a hiding place.)
** Justified in that the loincloth is actually covering what is likely several gaps in the armor that allow movement. Without the cloth, there would be more of an issue in that ''Al doesn't have any parts''.

* The Thing from the ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'' is a prime example. He was turned into a monster and was traditionally disgusted with his appearance. Despite this, he often just wears blue shorts. When the team donned their costumes for the first time in Vol. 1 issue 3, Ben had a full-body costume and a silver helmet completely covering his head, but he quickly discarded them, complaining that the costume restricted his movements. Although usually sticking with his team-colored trunks, he wore a singlet in his solo book and his brief stint with the ComicBook/WestCoastAvengers. Around the time the Invisible Woman began wearing a rather {{Stripperiffic}} version of her costume, the Thing adopted a new bodysuit, which also saw the return of the helmet for a while after ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} slashed the right side of his face during a tussle over the fugitive status of the Human Torch, leaving Ben's face vulnerable for a time. More recently he's been wearing pants, but still no shirt. In a recent reboot of the team, after the Human Torch was believed dead, as the Future Foundation he's taken to [[http://www.petpeoplesplace.com/petstore/pet-image-large/ff-fantastic-four-variant-1-djurdjevis-gatefold-cover_140537862800.jpg actually wearing a full uniform.]] At various points he's also been seen in a tank top, especially during his stint as a wrestler. The amount of clothing he's wearing at any given time probably has to do with the artist's deadlines as much as anything else.
** FF villain the [[MoleMen Mole Man]] has an army of Moloids and monsters of varying intellect. More often than not, they all wear multicolored briefs and little else. Odd considering that Mole Man is fully-clothed, highly intelligent, and wants to turn the Moloids into a proper civilization.
* In ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'', ComicBook/{{Cyborg}} doesn't wear anything. He used to wear a jump suit hoodie with the hood up but Beast Boy convinced him he looks better [[HoYay wearing nothing]]. In Cyborg's case, though, half his body is robotic and [[BlessedWithSuck he has nothing left to show]].
* ''ComicBook/XMen'':
** The Beast is another fine example. He started off looking reasonably normal. During this time, he was covered up almost completely. Once he turned into a furry monster, he stripped down to briefs. This is especially odd since the character is a very educated, polite individual who would normally be the type to dress in a dignified manner. Hank explained at least once, though it may not have been fully serious (or even canonical), that he dresses the way he does because all that fur got downright HOT when all covered up. When he DOES get fully dressed, he's about as dapper as a bulky, stocky man with bright blue fur all over his body can be.
** Another interesting case is Colossus. He is normal-looking but can turn himself into a metal humanoid. Usually, he wears very little, showing off his metallic form. In his earlier appearances, Creator/MarvelComics editors felt it was unacceptable to have a half-naked man but it was fine if he was made of metal at the time. Because of this, Colossus was shown in full-glory while in his metal form but when it came time to change back into a human, the bare parts of his costume were colored blue. This mandate didn't last long, though.
* ''ComicBook/IncredibleHulk'':
** The Hulk often just sports a pair of pants. When Hulk gets a bump in intelligence he often starts wearing clothes. For example, when grey Hulk was thought to be dead and was free from transforming back into Bruce, he lived a more normal life and developed a taste for tailored suits.
** ComicBook/SheHulk likewise wears very revealing clothes with a combination of this trope and {{Fanservice}}.
* During Creator/MarvelComics' monster-era, many of the monsters would wear a pair of briefs. They ranged from giant space dragons such as ''Fin Fang Foom'' to radioactive creations. The non-sentient monsters didn't make much sense, considering they shouldn't know enough to have any modesty while the intelligent monsters should be a bit more selective in what they wear. Case in point, the aforementioned Fin Fang Foom, a giant alien dragon that is from such an advanced race that... they are apparently okay with walking around in essentially underwear. Fin Fang Foom occasionally appears without the shorts, and may not even need them. There is also the question as to where they found [[FridgeLogic giant pairs of briefs.]]
** Spoofed to hell and back (like everything else) in ''ComicBook/{{Nextwave}},'' where Fin Fang Foom's giant monster pants are a source of constant derision. It's the trope image for a reason.
* ComicBook/{{Hellboy}} wears little more than a [[NoShirtLongJacket long coat]] and brown shorts with a UtilityBelt. The animated and [[Film/Hellboy2004 live action]] versions of him gave him long pants, boots (the comic version had hooves), and sometimes even a shirt.
* Spoofed in ''ComicBook/{{BPRD}}'': When he was introduced, Ben Daimio insisted on having [[OurHomunculiAreDifferent Roger]] wearing pants. But after actually seeing (a very proud) Roger wearing them, Ben told him to take the pants off again because he looked ridiculous.
* The Absorbing Man from ''ComicBook/TheMightyThor'' can morph his body into anything he touches (if he touches steel, then his body turns to steel). For whatever reason, he often goes shirtless. [[WildMassGuessing Maybe]] so he doesn't [[PowerIncontinence accidentally turn into cloth?]]
* Pip the Troll from Creator/MarvelComics' ''Infinity Watch'' usually just wore a loincloth: attire usually suited for savages. In fact, many characters on that team had pretty {{Stripperiffic}} costumes. They were all aliens, genetic creations, or otherwise metahuman. The guy in the background of [[http://i.annihil.us/u/prod/marvel//universe3zx/images/thumb/f/fb/IWatch.jpg/406px-IWatch.jpg this]] picture wore a cape but also ran around in briefs at different points in his career.
* The ComicBook/SilverSurfer ran around in silver briefs in his earlier appearances. He has since been reduced to NonhumansLackAttributes.
* Marrina from ''ComicBook/AlphaFlight'' and Namorita from ''ComicBook/NewWarriors'' are both FishPeople who wear {{Stripperific}} bikinis.
* Mephisto, also from Creator/MarvelComics, is an odd EldritchAbomination example of this trope. He's the MU's version of Satan but he often wears a loincloth and cape with nothing else.
* ComicBook/MartianManhunter wears a cape, briefs, and a weird x-shape vest that barely covers his chest. Not only is he highly intelligent, he is also a ShapeShifter so he could very easily form a nice suit if he wanted to. [[FridgeBrilliance On the other hand]], maybe the shape-shifting just makes the Martians indifferent to anything related to physical appearance, clothes/nudity included? Or he wears the uniform of a Manhunter (police officer) as seen in the 1998 ''Martian Manhunter'' series.
* From DC, [[http://namtab.com/jla/254batman.gif most]] versions of [[http://images.wikia.com/marvel_dc/images/c/c0/Despero_002.jpg Despero.]] Athough [[http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/0/229/96075-25506-despero_super.png some]] fall into NonhumansLackAttributes areas.
* Another Franchise/DCUniverse example, ComicBook/TheSpectre, who is a ghost in a green cloak and matching shorts. In ''ComicBook/KingdomCome'', he was hinted to only be wearing the cloak, as several of his poses had him holding the cloak as if covering up his lower body.
* For Dr. Manhattan of ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'', the level of clothing he wears at a given point of time indicates his growing detachment from humanity. At first, he continues to appear fully dressed after his transformation. But as time goes on, he pares down the uniform more and more until it's barely there at all, from full-body spandex, to a leotard, to briefs, then literally nothing. His last TV appearance creates a capsule version of this, going from a rather smart suit on the set to pretty much nothing after his abrupt departure cuts his last ties to Earth.
* ''ComicBook/{{Wildguard}}'' featured the massive rock-man Crag Langley among the contestants vying for a spot on the titular team. Crag doesn't wear a shirt because the large, craggy protrusions on his back would make doing so look really stupid. He ''does'', however, wear pants and boots.
* Inverted in ''ComicBook/AtomicRobo:'' the title robot always wears full pants and usually wears a shirt and sometimes a hat because it helps him fit in better (or as he puts it "I wear pants because it's the law"). Note that, aside from general outline, he has nothing approaching a human anatomy.
* Tigra from ''ComicBook/TheAvengers'' is a CatGirl who usually walks around in just a bikini. Like in the Beast example above, it's been explained that having fur all over your body makes any other style of clothing both impractical and overbearingly hot -- and since she's now operating out of Los Angeles, it'd just make things worse.
* ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'' villain Doomsday, in spite of being a berserk, rabid killing-machine, always takes care to wear a pair of green trunks to cover his junk. We see in his first appearance the trunks are the remnants of his containment suit that conveniently survived before blown off by the heroes, though it does seem weird for him to always be wearing them, given modesty should be a totally alien concept to him.

* The [[FishPeople Croccos]] from ''ComicStrip/ThePhantom'' wear loincloths (and are either a SingleGenderSpecies or an aversion of NonMammalMammaries). Since they live in the ocean, one wonders where do they get the cloth.

* The Beast in ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'' wears only pants and a cape. As the story progresses he wears more clothes and WordOfGod said that if Belle had never showed up eventually he would have stopped wearing clothes entirely.

* Sean and Patrick in ''Film/TheMonsterSquad'' engaged in some ConversationalTroping about this trope in regards to the [[Film/TheWolfMan1941 Wolfman]] in an earlier scene. Sean points out that the Wolfman had to wear pants because those movies were made in the '40s and the filmmakers didn't want us to see his... "wolf dork." Later on in the film, they actually have to face the Wolfman, and it is confirmed through Horace's GroinAttack that Wolfman does, indeed, have nards.

* Franchise/StarWars: For ''Film/ANewHope'', studio executives wanted Chewbacca [[https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/little-known-sci-fi-fact-studio-execs-pushed-chewbacca-wear-pants to wear lederhosen]], apparently worried that the bandolier only accented his nakedness and lead to censorship, thus reducing the film's distribution. [[https://img-9gag-fun.9cache.com/photo/a27vBn1_700bwp.webp Some concept art]] tried to satisfy this change, until it was eventually discarded.

** Golems usually avert this (some have been painted to resemble clothes, but in any case [[NonhumansLackAttributes they lack attributes]]), but ''Literature/GoingPostal'' has Gladys the Post Office golem, who wears a dress (and is called Gladys) because Miss Maccalariat objected to a "male" golem cleaning the ladies' restrooms.

* In ''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians,'' the plot really kicks off when Percy comes face-to-face with the Minotaur...who's wearing nothing but bright white Fruit of the Loom underpants. Percy notes that this would probably be funny if he wasn't terrified for his life.
** On a related note, Mr. Brunner revealing himself to the centaur Chiron does not cause him to ditch the tweed jacket that he always wore while disguised as a human.

[[folder:Web Comics]]
* Combined with DefeatByModesty in ''Webcomic/{{Exiern}}'', when the protagonist inflicts ClothingDamage on a woman who is [[WasOnceAMan transforming into a dragon]]. It triggers her human social conditioning and she flees after using her [[HandOrObjectUnderwear hands]] to protect her [[NonMammalMammaries soon-to-be-irrelevant modesty.]]

* Played with in the case of [[spoiler:Naal'suul]] in ''{{Webcomic/Drowtales}}'', who after being fully possessed by a demon is not at all humanoid below the waist but retains her appearance above it, and quickly grows out of the clothes she had on when possessed [[GagBoobs in both senses of the word]] and goes around topless. And yet despite this she retains enough of her original personality that she [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=10601 covers her chest]] in the presence of others.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}'':

* The {{Wendigo}} in ''WesternAnimation/Ducktales2017'' wears a loincloth on his lower half. What's especially odd about this example is [[spoiler:when the Wendigo was the [[YetAnotherChristmasCarol Ghost of Christmas Past]] the 'dressed' part of HalfDressedCartoonAnimal was the ''top'' half, meaning he had no pants then.]]

-->-- '''Film/TheMonsterSquad'''

Sometimes, if a person is [[HulkingOut transforming into a monster]], they may have MagicPants, invoking this trope. Other times they may have [[GardenGarment strategically growing natural moss or plants.]] Often overlaps with WalkingShirtlessScene. This [[DoubleStandard rarely happens to female monsters]], but if it does, expect it to have at least a little FanService along with it.

* The Bokoblins in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword'' either wear clothes or go without, but they ''always'' have some form of underwear worn, to which your companion comments about when you ask her for enemy info. There's also a RunningGag of all the Bokoblin species being obsessed with their undergarments.

* During Creator/MarvelComics' monster-era, many of the monsters would wear a pair of briefs. They ranged from giant space dragons such as ''Fin Fang Foom'' to radioactive creations.

* The behemoths in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'' and its sequels wear unusually well-made leather shorts, despite being beasts that show no sentience whatsoever.

* The [[MoleMen Mole Man]] from the ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'' series has an army of Moloids and monsters of varying intellect. More often than not, they all wear multicolored briefs and little else. Odd considering that Mole Man is fully-clothed, highly intelligent, and wants to turn the Moloids into a proper civilization.

* The ComicBook/SilverSurfer ran around in silver briefs in his earlier appearances. He has now been reduced to NonhumansLackAttributes.

* The Thing from the ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'' is a prime example. He was turned into a monster and was traditionally disgusted with his appearance. Despite this, he often just wears blue shorts.

* ''Literature/StoneBurners'', despite being about six foot tall dragon girl, one of the first points on Olivia's agenda after she regains consciousness is to find clothing.
* In ''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians,'' the plot really kicks off when Percy comes face-to-face with the Minotaur...who's wearing nothing but bright white Fruit of the Loom underpants. Percy notes that this would probably be funny if he wasn't terrified for his life at the moment.

* The ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' fanfic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6748504/1/Attack-of-the-50-Ft-Half-Klingon Attack of the 50-Ft Half-Klingon]]'' has an [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever oversized]] B'Elanna Torres appearing in the [[Film/TheAdventuresOfCaptainProton Captain Proton]] holodeck program to wreck revenge on a philandering Tom Paris. As she doesn't have MagicPants she's wearing a {{loincloth}} made from stitched bedsheets and [[GoingCommando no underwear]]. Later Tom returns to seek revenge as Film/TheAmazingColossalMan, but he hasn't been able to find underwear either, which makes him vulnerable to a JetPack-wearing heroine using the [[GroinAttack kind of attack]] that wouldn't be contemplated in a 1950's monster movie.

* Sean and Patrick in ''Film/TheMonsterSquad'' engaged in some ConversationalTroping about this trope in regards to the Wolfman in an earlier scene.
