Basic Trope: The only member of a group who isn't a human.
- Straight:
- In the Five-Man Band, Archer is the only non-human - he's a tiger-man.
- Exaggerated: Archer is the only non-human in existence.
- Downplayed:
- None of the other characters in the group are completely human either, but Archer is still less humanoid than they are.
- Archer is a non-anthropomorphic tiger that serves as the Team Pet.
- Justified:
- The group found that Archer's abilities made him more powerful in combat.
- Inverted: Token Human
- Subverted: Archer is revealed to just be a person in a tiger costume.
- Double Subverted: And then the band gets another member, who is a living skeleton.
- Parodied: ???
- Zig-Zagged: In addition to the non-human, one of the characters is half human, so it is debatable whether or not the only non-human should be considered.
- Averted: The group consists of all humans, or all non-humans.
- Enforced: "We established that this story takes place in a world of Lions and Tigers and Humans... Oh, My!, right? Well, we don't have any non-humans in the group yet, so how about we make a tiger-person one of the main characters?"
- Lampshaded: ???
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: "We're not going to have any tiger-people in our group."
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: "Why do these fantasy stories often feature the one non-human member of the team?"
- Played for Drama:There is racism against his kind , which creates tension.
