History Main / NonHumansLackAttributes

* In WesternAnimation/{{Bluey}}, most of the characters almost never wear clothes, [[CivilizedAnimal even though they are bipedal and civilized]], and you see nothing down there (since it's a kids' show of course). There are some times however when they do act as if they possess such parts:

* At the beginning of "Born Yesterday", Chilli is upset when she sees Bluey and Bingo taking pictures of her bottom while she's doing yoga, despite not really having anything to hide.

* Aliens in ''VideoGame/XCOMEnemyUnknown''. Then again, they are genetically engineered [[CloningBlues cloned]] cannon fodder grown in vats, so [[InvokedTrope genitalia would be a superfluous trait at best]], [[GroinAttack a weak point]] at worst, so why bother leaving them with genitalia?

* ''Webcomic/TheGreenhouse'':
** The demon 'Red'. She starts off as little more than anthropomorphized mist (plus [[HornedHumanoid horns]], but even as she gets increasingly solid and humanoid (including clearly defined breasts and legs) never develops 'attributes'. This may be an intentional choice; the way she describes her abs while [[spoiler:they're disintegrating]] suggests she has some control over the way her body develops. Or maybe she just hasn't developed far enough yet.

** And at the same time, meet a possibly demonic being by the name of Amihan, who plays it completely straight.

* ''Anime/VisionOfEscaflowne'': Various non-humans are shown naked and/or pantsless. No attributes.

* Played straight with Fitz and his friends from ''WesternAnimation/TwelveOunceMouse''. Averted in "Bowtime", where you can see Golden Joe and Peanut Cop's dicks (albeit pixelated).

-->-- ''Series/BabylonFive''

* Played with in the ''Series/{{Farscape}}'' episode "The Flax." A male alien drops his pants to show the crew murals on his legs from being in prison. The crew lampshades this trope with Zhaan even saying "For an anthropoid biped, there seems to be something missing." This is later hilariously explained [[spoiler: when the alien is revealed to be the female of her species and in love with D'Argo.]]
* In addition to the page quote above, Londo Mollari of ''Series/Babylon5'' also averts this trope by using his... *ahem* "attributes" to cheat in a poker game. HilarityEnsues when one of the other players accidentally puts a glass of ice water down on the appendage in question.

** Thassa, [[GenderNeutralWriting God]] of the Sea seems to be topless, but has no visible nipples.

* Parodied in the [[Series/SaturdayNightLive Saturday TV Funhouse]] ''WesternAnimation/YogiBear'' parody "The Anatominals". Both [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed "Kogi"]] and "Boo" seemed to be smuggling potatoes in their underwear, and [[GagBoobs Cindy Bear]] and [[{{Multiboobage}} her coyote friend]] have their own issues.

* Played straight with Fitz from ''WesternAnimation/TwelveOunceMouse''.

One of the common decency standards in comics, television, and other media is that aliens, monsters and other nonhuman creatures are never depicted with visible genitals, anuses, or nipples, even in scenes where [[ExposedExtraterrestrials such things should be plainly visible]]. This is helpful in conserving decency when the plot requires otherwise, but [[UncannyValley does the exact opposite]] if the nude in question is sufficiently humanoid, such as with {{Beast M|an}}en, {{Half Human Hybrid}}s, or mutants, especially if they also possess certain other features like NonMammalMammaries (which tend to come with the suggestion of breasts instead of actual ones) and/or are normally expected to wear clothes. Even when CensorSteam or dark shadows are present to preserve decency, a silhouette or outline of the character may reveal that there is... [[UnusualEuphemism something missing]]....

* Justified within the universe of ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' and coupled with BarbieDollAnatomy for the less deformed individuals. The [[HumanoidAbomination Titans]] are noted to lack any sexual organs, and have no lower digestive tract. In keeping with this, they notably also do not have navels. It brings about some ''serious'' UncannyValley vibes, since they otherwise look like giant, naked humanoids with various deformities.

* ''VideoGame/StarCraft'': After being infected by the Zerg, Sarah Kerrigan is turned into the stark-naked Queen of Blades, but lacks nipples or genitalia. Probably justified since she was built with intelligent design by Abathur, and Zerg [[BizarreAlienReproduction don't need reproductive organs]]. On the other hand, she has completely superfluous boobs. Then again, it would be like Kerrigan to insist on keeping them just to MindScrew Jim Raynor.
** The Protoss do not have anything resembling human genitalia: although they do have distinct sexes and a vaguely humanoid body-plan. This is because they are well...mushrooms. Sentient telepathic mushrooms. They reproduce via spores.

* In an aversion, Kiwi from ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko'', Odd's dog, is obviously NOT neutered.

* The Cunning Little Vixen TV movie adaptation averts this, both with chickens having x cloacas, and the titular character herself having a fully-drawn butthole and even a momentary line vagina when she pees on the badger.

* All [[OurAngelsAreDifferent angels]] in the Creator/VertigoComics universe (including ''ComicBook/{{Lucifer}}'', ''[[ComicBook/TheSandman1989 Sandman]]'' and ''ComicBook/{{Hellblazer}}'', notably) are generally depicted as genderless. They are, however, still apparently capable of intercourse. The closest we get to an explanation of this is someone who has experienced this whispering in someone else's ear and her looking shocked.

* The preservers in ''ComicBook/ElfQuest'' have androgynous bodies without genitals or nipples. Justified, as they're apparently asexual and [[NoBiologicalSex sexless]].

** {{Discussed|Trope}} with ComicBook/TheVision in ''Comicbook/WestCoastAvengers''. U.S. Agent demands that he "show some decency" and put some clothing on, but Vision points out that clothing would be pointless since as an android, he doesn't have nipples or visible genitals.

* In ''ComicStrip/ScaryGary'', the trope is Played straight with every monster without clothes except for Leopold. He is ''technically'' a heavily genetically mutated human who runs around buck-naked in every scene he’s in, yet his privates are always private. Possibly justified due to the "genetically mutated" part.
** The moment he accidentally temporarily un-mutates himself, he spontaneously gains a full suit & tie.

** {{Discussed|Trope}} with [[Characters/Avengers60sMembers the Vision]] in ''Comicbook/WestCoastAvengers''. U.S. Agent demands that he "show some decency" and put some clothing on, but Vision points out that clothing would be pointless since as an android, he doesn't have nipples or visible genitals.

** Averted with Roque Ja the giant lion, who when seen from behind has a very prominent scrotum.

* Justified in ''Comicbook/{{Concrete}}''. The aliens really don't have any of the typical anatomical features. It's brought up semi-regularly as well, much to Concrete's chagrin, [[FridgeLogic although if he did have any features they'd probably be equally discussed and mocked by the public]].
* All angels in the Vertigo universe (including ''Comicbook/{{Lucifer}}'', ''[[Comicbook/TheSandman Sandman]]'' and ''Comicbook/{{Hellblazer}}'', notably) are generally depicted as genderless. They are, however, still apparently capable of intercourse. The closest we get to an explanation of this is someone who has experienced this whispering in someone else's ear and her looking shocked.
* Averted in ''ComicBook/{{Planetary}}'', where a naked alien ComicBook/GreenLantern {{Expy}} falls on Earth. He has a very disturbing [[BrainBleach mangina]].

* Franchise/MarvelUniverse:
** An ''ComicBook/{{Exiles}}'' storyline introduces an alternate universe version of [[Characters/SpiderManNeutralCharacters Morbius]] who looks like [[BatOutOfHell a giant bat]]. He is naked all of the time and doesn't have genitals or nipples.
** Discussed with [[Characters/Avengers60sMembers The Vision]] in ''Comicbook/WestCoastAvengers''. U.S. Agent demands that he "show some decency" and put some clothing on, but Vision points out that clothing would be pointless since as an android, he doesn't have nipples or visible genitals.
** The [[Characters/FantasticFourSupportingCharacters Silver Surfer]], despite looking like a shiny human, displays no genitalia whatsoever. Presumably covered or removed as part of his transformation into the Silver Surfer. Other natives of Zenn-La apparently have the same attributes as humans, which they cover in similar ways.

** [=SpongeBob=] has been seen completely naked (well, completely naked except for his shoes) in multiple episodes. In "Spongebob Naturepants", SceneryCensor is used to cover that area most of the time, but it can still be seen a few times. In "Hooky", he is traumatized when Pearl and her friends (as well as the audience) sees his non-existent genitalia.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' plays with this. In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E15TheSuperSpeedyCiderSqueezy6000 The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000]]", Fluttershy is embarrassed when Rainbow Dash yanks the sheets off of her, despite the lack of any visible genitalia. Yet in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E25ACanterlotWeddingPart1 A Canterlot Wedding]]", Twilight Sparkle shakes her naked flank in Princess Cadance's face, treating the viewers to a view of featureless pony arse. In the general run of the show, attention is inadvertently drawn to their lack of attributes by the way their tails always point up rather than staying in line with the spine and frequent from-behind perspectives.

* Played with for laughs in ''WesternAnimation/IceAge3DawnOfTheDinosaurs''. Scrat is a saber-toothed squirrel... thing, and is presented with neither visible genitals or nipples. Until a patch of fur gets ripped off his chest, revealing two nipples on the skin underneath. The female Scratte plays this straighter, with the impression of having breasts, but once again no visible nipples.

* Aversion in ''VideoGame/{{Pikmin}} 3'', where the Bearded Amprats have visible anuses.
