* ''ComicBook/RomSpaceKnight's'' enemies the Dire Wraiths come in two flavors: the technology-using males, who look like ugly, fanged, gangly-limbed Pillsbury Doughboys; and the sorcery-using females, who are pure StarfishAliens. The Dire Wraiths are eventually revealed to be offshoots of the [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Skrulls]]. For a race of [[VoluntaryShapeshifting shapeshifters]], appearance isn't that important.

** Technically, the true male Wraith form has never been seen since all male Wraiths have so far only been depicted in either assumed forms (while posing as humans or other species) or in their "transitory shape" which was once specifically stated to not be their true form. The fact that a group of female Wraiths once stated that they, unlike the male Wraiths, were not ashamed of the way they looked is considered to strongly imply that the true male form resembles (or is even identical to) the true female form. However, this theory has never been confirmed in any story.
** Similarly, the reason why the Dire Wraiths look so different from the Skrulls has only been vaguely explained. One story claims that their Skrullian Deviant ancestors just happened to "mature" into two different strains. Another source claims that the Dire Wraiths look different because their ancestors began practicing black magic that, over generations, caused them to evolve into a different form that was less humanoid.
** Male Wraiths generally used technology because the females had usurped sorcery for themselves.

* ''VideoGame/GranblueFantasy'': {{Downplayed}} with the vaguely bovine-themed Draphs - males and females have the same [[HornedHumanoid horns]], PointyEars and great physical strength, but drastically different builds. While male Draph are [[WorldOfMuscleMen slabs of muscle]] who tower over every other race in the game (averaging around 220cm tall), female Draphs are the second-shortest ([[http://i.imgur.com/2QgqZjU.jpg averaging at only 130cm]]) and also have [[WorldOfBuxom huge chests]] (ranging [[https://i.imgur.com/SAEWG9v.jpg from G all the way to L-cup]]). {{Deconstructed}} in that, because Draph architecture is designed for people of wildly varying sizes, it's accommodating to a wide range of races as well, which has lead the Draph to gain a reputation as a welcoming people.

* ''Literature/AlienInASmallTown'' has bizarre sexual ''trimorphism.'' The alien Jan have three sexes. The male Workers are the bulk of the population – conical and the size of a car, with three stumpy legs and three tentacles at their apex, one ending in a bowling ball-like eyesphere. The female Matriarchs are physically similar except that they eventually plant themselves in one spot and grow to be the size of a mountain (becoming super-intelligent in the process). The sterile Warriors are bigger and faster than the Workers, with six arms ending in hooks, the eyesphere flush with the top of the body, and a giant fanged mouth in the side of the body.
