Villains who are not humans but have a similar appearance to them. They may have been born like this, or they might have shape-shifted into a human-like form and are known for this form, even if their true form is revealed.

Characters that have originated as true humans but become something inhuman (either through shape-shifting, dark magic, lycanthropy or mutation) do NOT count. This category is solely for villains that are inherently not human, but have physical human-like features.

Types of Humanoids[]

• Winged Humanoids: Humanoid villains who possess wings which enable them to take flight.
• Humanoid Abominations: Humanoid villains with otherworldly characteristics which make their appearance too much for anyone to comprehend them (in other words, their appearance alone can induce madness).
• Androids: Robots that are designed to look like humans are called androids.
• Demonic Humanoids: Certain demons disguised as humans who plague the human realm.

Qualifications[]

To qualify, a character should display the following traits:

• Bipedal structure: walks on two legs; may also be "knuckle-dragging," like great apes, or vary between walking on two legs to a more feral "four-legged" position, as is the case with werewolves;
• Roughly human anatomy: a head, a torso, several arms and legs (although the best would be two, characters with more members can be allowed if they still respect the rule).

Note: Humanoid characters possess human-like physical attributes, making them Anthropomorphic in nature. However, anthropomorphic characters can, but don’t have to, resemble humans physically; they can embody mental human-like traits or behaviors while being of different physical forms. Humanoid animals, objects, and other non-human beings can also fall under both categories. For instance, a humanoid animal is both anthropomorphic physically and falls under the humanoid category by having human-like bodies, standing upright, and having opposable thumbs, while maintaining their animalistic forms (e.g., Mr. Puzzles, as a humanoid object). General humanoid characters may specifically resemble humans more closely (such as MX), but certain humanoid characters, such as animals and other beings, can have distinctive non-human forms with human-like characteristics.
