Much like the TokenNonhuman, with a slight twist; in this case, almost the entire cast consists of non-humans, leaving only a single Token Human to round things out. He (or less commonly she) will be among a cast of RubberForeheadAliens, {{Robot Budd|y}}ies, StarfishAliens or other, similar beings. Sometimes, the cast will have to make allowances for their Token Human friend's [[PunyEarthlings human failings]]; at other times, some human ability (such as the ability to reach the top shelf, or to immerse oneself in water safely, or simply an immunity to a deadly alien poison) will come in very handy at some point in the plot. These characters often tend to be TheHero (fantastic variant of AllAmericanFace) or TheLoad (or in particularly bad cases, both); however, some works put them in the role of the villain to convey that HumansAreTheRealMonsters. Sometimes they're only AmbiguouslyHuman.

* In the Japan-exclusive ''Anime/AnimalCrossingTheMovie'', the main character -- a girl named Ai -- is the only human in her town. There's also Yu, a human boy who visits from another town, but they're still vastly outnumbered. This is true to [[VideoGame/AnimalCrossing the games it's based on]].



* ''Anime/DoraemonNobitasDriftsInTheUniverse'': Doraemon and friends meets the [[SpaceCadet Space Knights]], whose members consist of the human Lian, hulking alien brute Goro-goro, the fairy-like Freya and RobotBuddy Log. Naturally, [[HumansAreLeaders Lian is the leader of the crew]].

* Liz Sheridan in ''Film/{{Hellboy|2004}}'' is the main team's only human (albeit with pyrokinetic powers) alongside a NobleDemon, a {{fish pe|ople}}rson, and (in the sequel) a ghost.

Corrected spelling of character's name.


* The forest ranger and his family in ''WesternAnimation/TheRaccoons'', who were the original owners of Bruu, though not long after the humans were phased out entirely. Though since they never actually interacted with the anthropomorphic animals they may not count for this trope.
