History Main / NonHumanLoverReveal

* ''TheDoorIntoFire'': Boy meets fire elemental.

* MarionZimmerBradley's ''The Wild One'': Boy meets [[spoiler:werelynx]].

* ''MermaidMelodyPichiPichiPitch'' has an inversion (mermaid meets boy), [[spoiler:which is later subverted as the boy isn't entirely human either; they are allowed to remain together.]] The other members of the PowerTrio, also mermaids, get human love interests as well; the manga makes it more clear that they'll probably end up StarcrossedLovers because of this, but the anime ends on a happier note. Finally, the series' backstory includes other stories of boy-meets-mermaid played straight; one is a legend with an ambiguous ending, but the other... [[StarcrossedLovers didn't]] [[LoveMakesYouEvil end]] [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge well]].

* From ''VampireKnight'', we have Yuki, a human, falling in love with the vampire Kaname. [[spoiler:But then we find out that Yuki is actually a vampire as well.]] All the students at the Night School are secretly vampires.

* On TheVampireDiaries, Elena unexpectedly meets Stefan and feels an instant connection with him in season one. However, Stefan is hiding a deep, dark secret: he is a century old vampire. As Stefan and Elena fall harder for each other, Elena eventually discovers that Stefan is a vampire.

* Red's backstory in the first season of OnceUponATime includes this. [[spoiler:Her boyfriend didn't know he was dating a werewolf. Course, Red didn't know that either, and, thinking it's he who is the wolf, ties him up before the change can take him. Then she turns into the wolf and kills him. Oops.]]

* The ending of ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek2}}'' has [[spoiler:Lillian discovering that her husband Harold is actually a frog who was turned into a human by the Fairy Godmother.]] Like Fiona [[spoiler:their daughter]] she takes it very well.

* All TheSookieStackhouseMysteries, where girl meets vampire, werewolf, were-tiger, etc.

* Teddie's crush on Labrys in ''{{Persona 4 Arena}}'' inverts this. He meets her thinking she was a normal human girl, feeling ashamed of his own [[PinocchioSyndrome non human nature]] when it is revealed to her soon after. The eventual reveal that she isn't human either, but an amnesiac [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots battle android]] only makes him ''more'' enthusiastic about winning her for himself, if anything.

* The main character of ''{{Moonlight}}'' was turned into a vampire by his wife on their wedding night, who forgot to [[IHateYouVampireDad run it by him first]] before doing so.
* ''TrueBlood'' has Tara and Sam, human meets shifter.
* ''Series/BeingHuman'' has werewolf George fall in love with regular human Nina.

* GenderFlipped in''FanFic/SonOfTheDesert'' Hohenheim tells Trisha of his true nature [[spoiler: as an immortal]] the night before they get married. Trisha takes it rather after her shock over his [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld actual age.]]

* ''TasogareOtomeXAmnesia'': Teiichi doesn't realize Yuuko is a ghost when he first meets her.

[[folder:Film]]

* Played with in ''{{Film/Shrek}}'': Princess Fiona finds out that the knight who saved her, the title character, is an ogre. Fiona is taken aback, but continues to travel with him anyway. One reason is because, before they got to know each other, he was only planning to take her to Lord Farquaad, rather than for himself. The other reason is [[spoiler: the fact that she's cursed to turn into an ogre herself by night.]]

* LetTheRightOneIn: as with the movie, a young boy meets a strange girl, and an innocent childhood romance develops, before he discovers that she's a bloodthirsty vampire. [[spoiler:The book is even more explicit than the movie about the fact that Eli is a mutilated boy.]]

* ''SpacePirateMito'' relates the story of her own reveal to her beloved Kagero to her HalfHumanHybrid son Aoi and asserts that he is the living embodiment of ThePowerOfLove because Kagero married her anyway. Aoi later gets a reveal of his own when the girl he's fallen for turns out to be a HumanAlien Galactic Patrol officer staking him out to capture his mother.

In another episode, Johnny goes on a date with a deer. No, not a humanoid deer, part-deer human, anything like that - an actual, albeit talking, deer. In another episode, Johnny goes on a date with a woman who turns out to be a werewolf, and he's actually desperate enough to try to make it work, until he discovers she's hiding an even worse secret.

* ''VisualNovel/{{Kanon}}: Boy meets [[spoiler:fox he [[PetBabyWildAnimal used to keep as a pet when he was younger]].]]
