Line 89:
* The last guardians of the Pyramid in ''[[Yaiba]]'', namely Ruby, Sapphire, Diamond {{spoiler|and Emerald}}. The Platina Company is also apparently working on building the Ultimate Fighter.
* ''[[Rosario + Vampire]]'' revealed {{spoiler|Outer Moka}} to be a partial example. {{spoiler|She's a "fake personality" created to care for the sealed Inner Moka, but is also noted to be possibly the most lifelike one ever created, and was probably derived from her mother's personality}}.
* In ''[[Toward the Terra]]'', everyone could technically be considered [[Artificial HumansHuman]]s to some degree, as society under the SD System no longer uses natural birth and all children are developed in [[Uterine Replicator]]s. Within the context of the setting, however, {{spoiler|Physis}} and {{spoiler|Keith}} are especially noteworthy: rather than being concievedconceived using an egg and sperm from pre-selected parents, they were engineered completely artificially by the Mother Computers and grown nearly to physical maturity in [[People Jars]] - {{spoiler|Physis}}, deemed a failed prototype, was decanted fairly young and thereafter rescued by Soldier Blue, but {{spoiler|Keith}} didn't come out of the jar until the age of fourteen.

Line 185:
** And from the same universe, we have the fetches of ''[[Changeling: The Lost]]'', fake humans made by [[The Fair Folk]] to cover up their abductions. They're usually made from whatever stray garbage seems appropriate and a piece of the abductee's soul. They believe themselves to be the person they're meant to replace, but always seem to lack one feature (positive or negative) that went into the character of their template.
* [[Eclipse Phase]]'s Pod morphs—short for "pod people", since they are assembled out of vat-grown limbs and organs and equipped with a computer brain.
** Actually, all biomorphs (except flats and splicers) probably qualify as [[Artificial HumansHuman]]s, given that they are all gene-designed by various groups and grown in artificial wombs.
* The bioroids - "biological androids" - in ''[[GURPS]] [[Transhuman Space]]''.
** Guidelines for designing your own bioroids - and infinite other forms of [[Genetic Engineering Is the New Nuke|gengineered]] life - reappear in ''GURPS: Bio Tech''.
