History Main / NonHumanLoverReveal

* There's a Japanese myth about [[{{Youkai}} Yuki-Onna]], which plot was used for the ''Film/TalesFromTheDarksideTheMovie'' mentioned above.

* The Selkie myths of Ireland, almost exactly the same as the kitsune-wives, but the men capture the women by hiding the pelts that let them turn back into seals.

* In GreekMythology there were a few examples of this type. For instance, male gods would occasionally reveal who they were on taking leave from the woman they had just impregnated. In a more spectacular example, Hera posed as an old woman to trick Semele, one of her husband Zeus' lovers, into getting him to promise to do her a favour and then make that favour to show himself to her in his true form. She did not survive the experience.

* ''KumikoTheDemonGirl'': Boy meets [[HornyDevils Succubus]].

* ''FateStayNight'': Boy meets superpowered ghost of [[spoiler:{{Gender Flip}}ped KingArthur]]. Boy meets superpowered magus. Boy meets [[spoiler:corrupted Holy Grail]].

* ''{{Demonbane}}'': Boy meet MoePersonification of [[TomeOfEldritchLore Necronomicon]].

* The comic OrangeMarmalade focuses heavily on the main character Ma-ri's dilemma to both keep the fact she is a vampire hidden from her boyfriend but also struggling over whether or not she should tell him she is.[[spoiler: When he eventually discovers the truth from a third party, he is disgusted and horrified to say the least.]]

* BigWolfOnCampus in the second season has this. Human girl [[BadassNormal Lori Baxter]] dates werewolf Tommy Dawkins. However, towards the end of the season, [[spoiler:they break up because their relationship was getting in the way of their monster fighting.]]

* The revival of Series/TheOuterLimits had an episode titled "First Anniversary" in which two aliens stranded on Earth use their power to fool people's senses in order to pass as human. Specifically, as [[UglyGuyHotWife very pretty human women who act romantically interested in some rather plain-looking men]]. Unfortunately, people tend to become resistant to their power after about a year or so, and the men who marry them tend to GoMadFromTheRevelation after seeing their true appearances. (In an aversion of TakeOurWordForIt, when they let down their disguise, it's on-screen - and they really are horrifying.)

* Retroactive example: DragonballZ: woman learns her husband is an alien. He didn't know either until his brother showed up.

* ''{{FLCL}}'': Boy meets a girl who eventually turns out to be an alien. Alien seduces boy, uses him, then tosses him away.

* ''FruitsBasket'': Girl meets boy(s) who turn to have a secret, magical association with the signs of the Chinese Zodiac, and turn into total animals whenever they're hugged by a member of the opposite sex.
* ''MahouSenseiNegima'': Boy meets [[UnwantedHarem all]] [[FantasyKitchenSink of the above]].

* In MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic tale "Fanfic/FluttershyIsFree", this is what happens to [[spoiler:Fluttershy's mother]], when she wakes up just a bit too soon and discovers she's lain with [[spoiler:a Changeling]].

* ''LightNovel/HatarakuMaouSama'': Girl develops crush on [[BlandNameProduct MgRonald's]] coworker. Girl goes out with coworker. Coworker's [[HeIsNotMyBoyfriend alleged ex-girlfriend]] interrupts date and warns girl to stay away from coworker, as he is {{Satan}} incarnate. Girl discovers that alleged ex (really a [[HalfHumanHybrid half-angel hero]]) was being literal.

She did not survive the experience.

* Novembersmith's RPS fan-novel TheAnatomyOfAFall has boy meets ghost, with a fairly beautiful [[TheReveal reveal]] around the middle of the fic.

* In ''{{Film/Halloweentown}} III,'' Dylan (a [[HalfHumanHybrid half-human]] [[WitchSpecies warlock]]) who DoesNotLikeMagic) gets involved with a girl [[PairTheSmartOnes just as dorky as he is]], only to find out she's a furry pink [[AllTrollsAreDifferent troll]] wearing a costume. He reacts badly, tries to apologize, only for ''her'' to respond that he looks weird and ugly to her too. By the end of the movie they've made up and are about to have their big kiss...but she suddenly backs out of it, he acts relieved, and they agree that they're BetterAsFriends.

* In ''{{Cinder}}'', the cyborg Cinder falls in love with the human Prince Kai, but at the ball is revealed to be a cyborg [[spoiler: and a member of a race of people living on the moon called Lunar.]]
