* Ai of ''Manga/OshiNoKo'' has [[ExoticEyeDesigns pupils drawn like six-pointed stars]], and her two children Aqua and Ruby [[AllGenesAreCodominant have one eye each]] the same. In-series, her eyes are mentioned as having '''a''' distinct look, but nothing so completely obvious as to connect the three characters (even by one person who notices their family resemblance). When Akane imitates Ai for her on-screen persona, ''her'' eyes look the same to represent how close a match she is.

* Ai of ''Manga/OshiNoKo'' has [[ExoticEyeDesigns pupils drawn like six-pointed stars]], and her two children [[AllGenesAreCodominant have one eye each]] the same. They're all but stated to be invisible in-series, as no one comments or notices how obviously it connects the three characters (even by one person who notices their family resemblance).

* ''Manga/ThighHighReiwaHanamaruAcademy'': The manga is a typical gag moe series, but all the cute girls the show would focus on are now boys, ranging from {{Hunk}}s to {{Bishonen}}, though they still wear things like bras, panties, and skirts. It's unclear whether the characters are actually women being drawn as men to the audience, or if the story is set in a world with very different gender roles.

* ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'': Hobbes appears as a FunnyAnimal to Calvin, but a stuffed toy to everyone else. Whether Hobbes only comes to life when he's alone with Calvin, is always alive and only Calvin can see his non-toy form, or is [[ImaginaryFriend a toy Calvin only imagines to be alive]], is [[RiddleForTheAges left for the reader to decide]], and is one of the reasons given by Bill Watterson for not allowing merchandising or adaptations.

* ''LightNovel/SoImASpiderSoWhat'': The protagonist is reborn on the body of a spider monster, but she is presented in illustrations and in the manga and anime adaptations as a relatively cute animal: big anime eyes, human mouth, humanoid movements using her frontal legs as arms. The viewers are led to believe this is her true appearance, however, whenever the story is shown from someone else's perspective, it's revealed that she is actually as monstrous as the other spiders, and her cute traits are just there for the viewer to have an easier time empathizing with her.

* In an episode of ''Series/{{Bones}}'' the VictimOfTheWeek, when we finally see her headshot objectively, is superficially similar looking to Brennan. However, Brennan sees her as her exact double and therefor so do we, until the end of the episode. When other characters look at the headshot they don't see any similarity, which confounds Brennan and confuses the viewer - since we see the headshot the way Brennan does.

* It's implied in ''Webcomic/{{Drowtales}}'' that the glow of [[RedEyesTakeWarning of tainted eyes]] and the white spirals seen in the eyes of certain characters who are [[OurDemonsAreDifferent tainted in a specific way]] aren't visible to the other characters are and purely for the reader's benefit. This is most obvious when shapeshifter Ariel [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=10319 pretends to be]] [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=10334 her crazy half sister Kalki]] and changes her eye color to red but lacks the glow and spirals but no one except Kiel (who not only has them but [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou has fourth wall knowledge]]) seems to notice this. For comparison, the red glow seen in the pupils of all drow was originally thought to be this until [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=5332 another character specifically pointed it out]] in the eyes of Liriel, who looks like a dark elf but has the glow like a drow, meaning it's likely [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapetum_lucidum eyeshine]].

* Wiki/SCPFoundation: It is supposed to be impossible to photograph Dr. Alto Clef's face. His official profile photo shows him with a spider's head, but he apparently appears human in universe.

* SproutingEars is when a character suddenly sprouts animal ears and/or a tail to emphasize a certain personality trait, i.e. a mischievous character sprouts a fox's ears and tail.

* Characters who are TheNoseless or characters who have NoMouth usually do actually have them, however they're drawn without them.

->''"So are they, in reality, on all fours, [[TranslationConvention just roaring]], and they just think they are standing upright? Or do the humans notice that they are standi -- you know what!? Animated movie with ambiguously defined rules!"''

* Chibi-Neko from ''Manga/TheStarOfCottonland'' is a regular kitten and the other human characters treat her as one, but she's only ever depicted to the audience as a CatGirl due to her strong desire to become human.

* ''Manga/ThighHighReiwaHanamaruAcademy'': The manga is a typical gag moe series, but all the cute girls the show would focus on are now boys, ranging from {{Hunk}}s to {{Bishonen}}, though they still wear things like bras, panties, and skirts.

* In the animated adaptation of ''Literature/MoDaoZuShi'', when the deceased protagonist Wei Wuxian is summoned back to earth, his new body (which belonged to the man who summoned him, Mo Xuanyu) looks nearly identical to his old body in his first life (the only differences being the shorter hair and the smaller, less muscular build). This is solely for the audience's convenience -- InUniverse, the two men do not resemble each other and everyone who previously knew Wei Wuxian do not recognise him in his new body.

* The characters of ''Manga/FreeCollarsKingdom'' are regular stray cats and are viewed treated as such by the humans they interact with, but the cats see each other as [[CatGirl catboys/catgirls]].

* The characters of ''Manga/FreeCollarsKingdom'' are regular stray cats and are treated as such by the humans they interact with, but the art style shows them as [[CatGirl catboys/catgirls]].

* ''LightNovel/SoImASpiderSoWhat'': The protagonist is reborn on the body of a spider monster, but she is presented in illustrations and in the manga and anime adaptations as a relatively cute animal, with big anime eyes, a normal mouth, humanoid movements using her frontal legs as arms, and the viewers are led to believe this is her true appearance, however, whenever the story is shown from someone else's perspective, it's revealed that she is actually as monstrous as the other spiders, and her cute traits are just there for the viewer to have an easier time empathizing with her.

* ''Manga/ThighHighReiwaHanamaruAcademy'': The manga is a typical gag moe series, but all the cute girls the show would focus on are now boys, ranging from {{Hunk}}s to {{Pretty Boy}}s, though they still wear things like bras, panties, and skirts. It's unclear whether the characters are actually women being drawn as men to the audience, or if the story is set in a world with very different gender roles.
