* In ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'', every SpaceMarine is a bioengineered Transhuman, yet they serve humanity with zealous ferocity. It helps that the transformation, and the very reason they exist, is explicitly to protect humanity better. Of course their methods of protecting humanity include ruthlessly exterminating anything that isn't human. [[note]]Of course, they also gleefully exterminate humans that oppose the Imperium (heretics!) or those too deviated from the human holy form (mutants!).[[/note]]

* Sergeant Tarkus from DawnOfWarII, to the point where he has the FanNickName of "Grim Dark Kenshiro" by 1d4chan.

** While most vampires revel in their non-humanity even if they fight for humans, Seras does everything in her power to remain as human as possible without neglecting her duties to the organization... which involve drinking blood in order to use her vampiric powers killing vampires that threaten humanity.
** Alucard's a weird case. He'll gleefully slaughter people, but he also believes that monsters like himself are even less inherently noble beings. He truly believes that humans are the only ones who could ever truly defeat him, the way Abraham Van Helsing and his companions did in the past. Thus he has a loathing to humans who choose to become a monster to have a chance at defeating him.

* ''DungeonsAndDragons'' supplement ''Knight of the Living Dead''. A lich brings a paladin of Torm back from death as an undead creature. The lich orders him to gather magic items to help the lich conquer the city of Waterdeep, but instead he decides to fight against the lich's forces and protect the inhabitants of the city.

** The second comic series, ''Dark Days'', has an originally less-than-nice vamp pulling a gradual HeelFaceTurn (at first helping Stella out purely for revenge against the BigBad, but later on out of genuine feelings for her); by the end of the story, he doesn't even try to feed on her, despite having the perfect opportunity, which is saying something as vampires in that 'verse are pretty much all bloodthirsty (in both senses) AlwaysChaoticEvil sociopaths from the moment they're turned, even if they were dedicated vampire killers just before. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, after his resurrection, vampire!Eben is not quite so inclined...]]

* The Confessor in ''AstroCity'' is a Batman-like hero who is secretly [[spoiler: a vampire. He wears a cross as his ChestInsignia so the constant pain will help distract him from his thirst. After he's destroyed, his sidekick is surprised to find the Cross Breed, a local Christian super hero team, mourning him; they assert that as far as they're concerned, he was always doing the Lord's work.]]

* The shinigami of {{Vathara}}'s ''Fanfic/ProjectTatterdemalion'' are {{Super Soldier}}s made this way through a live virus vaccine against a superbug, giving them CombatTentacles, [[PoisonousPerson venom]], AbsurdlySharpClaws, an {{EMP}}-based StarfishLanguage, SuperStrength, FlashStep, [[MindOverMatter destructive psychokinesis]], a [[HatesBeingAlone loneliness]] that can only be alleviated by staying near the [[TrueCompanions pack]], a HealingFactor that works fast and a bad case of CuddleBug. Because TheRepublic [[NoTransHumanismAllowed does not allow]] BioAugmentation, they are {{UnPerson}}ed.

* [=MasterBook=] RPG ''The World of Species'', based on the film ''Film/{{Species}}''. Humans are injected with some of Sil's DNA, causing them to gain some of her abilities. This allows them to hunt down and destroy Sil's progeny, but they must constantly fight against the alien thoughts and personality traits generated by the DNA in their systems.

*** A good example of a Pro-Human mage would be the father of [[VideoGame/DragonAgeII Hawke]] who taught his mage children to use their powers responsibly and had his own BadassCreed where he reminded himself that his magic would "serve what was best in (him)." Mage player characters can be this as well... or not.

** Michael Costner, a young thief and grifter is activated as a regular powered OMAC unit to help rebuilding a thrashed Brother Eye. A peculiar combination of [[TheAtoner guilt for his past as a common burglar]], lack of self worth, his earlier bout with drug addiction and ThePowerOfLove enable Michael to shake off his programming and fight against Brother Eye for the sake of the world and his girl. [[spoiler: In the end, while his pregnant girlfriend Vienna acquires his very same powers and rushes to his help, she dies and with Brother Eye deactivated, Micheael loses access to his powers. In a bittersweet ending, Clark Kent manages to have Michael and Vienna revered as heroes and saviors of the human race]].

** In "The Pandorica Opens", Rory Williams' UnexplainedRecovery as a Roman soldier despite being [[{{RetGone}} erased from history]] is discovered to be because he was ''[[TomatoSurprise really]]'' being an Auton duplicate and ManchurianAgent. Despite shooting Amy when his programming briefly took over, his genuine love for her allowed him to break his programming and he vowed to spend the [[TheSlowPath next 2000 years]] protecting the Pandorica with Amy inside until she could be safely revived. [[{{Determinator}} And he did]].

** One could argue that [[spoiler: [[HumanoidAbomination The Architect]]]] in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOriginsAwakening'' qualifies, although technically he's [[spoiler: a TokenHeroicOrc]] who is not so much concerned with preventing further Blights to help humanity as much as he desires to [[spoiler: free the Darkspawn from the influence of the Old Gods.]] However, he's not been particularly successful so far, since the last time he tried to help [[spoiler: he ended up accidentally ''causing'' the Fifth Blight.]]

* In ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'', the Dragonborn is a HumanoidAbomination, prophecied to protect Mankind by [[TheHunter hunting down]] and [[YourSoulIsMine consuming the souls]] of Dragons.

* The player characters Vent and Aile in ''MegaManZX'' are, like most people in this period, crosses of human- and Reploidkind, and fight to protect everyone. In the [[MegaManX earlier series]], Dr. Light is this, having become [[BrainUploading an infomorph]] and continues protecting humanity through aiding his "son" X.
** In the AlternateTimeline of ''MegaManBattleNetwork'', Megaman.EXE[=/=]Hub Hikari, an infomorph in the form of a Net Navi, is fully pro-human.

{{Opposite Trope|s}} to TranshumanTreachery. SuperTrope to VampireRefugee and PhlebotinumRebel.

* Kira in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED'' is accidentally this, being a Coordinator fighting for an army consisting entirely of Naturals (in a war started to exterminate his kind!). Not really his intention: he only fights to protect his friends. When it's revealed that both sides have genocidal intentions, he and his girlfriend, Lacus, form the Three Ships' Alliance, which includes deserters from both the Natural and Coordinator armies, and want an end to the war. Naturally enough, several other {{Pro Human Transhuman}}s, including Lacus, Athrun, Dearka, and the Desert Tiger, end up in this faction.

** Technically, Paragon Shepard became Transhuman during the second game, having been resurrected with cybernetic implants, as well as undergoing extensive genetic modification that not only gives them increased speed and stamina, but resistance to small arms fire and strong enough to wield weapons that when fired, would normally shatter every bone in a normal person's arm. Shepard is a ProHumanTranshuman in either case; paragon Shepard is a hero who protects all sentient life in the galaxy, while renegade Shepard [[FantasticRacism helps humans and nobody else.]]
