Anti-Human Alliance: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

 

The motivating factor behind this alliance can vary, here are a few common causes:

== Anime & Manga ==

* In ''[[Princess Mononoke]]'', apes, boars, and wolves don't care at all for humans. The apes want a more limited war. The boars argue for a more all - out war because it's [[Better to Die Than Be Killed]]. The wolves end up siding with the boars more out of sympathy than anger.

* Done by [[Transformers|Optimus Prime/Megatron]] expies in ''[[Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt|Panty and Stocking With Garterbelt]]'' - the eponymous characters kill them when they arrive on Earth, and they merge into a single powerful [[Monster of the Week|Ghost]] that wants to wipe out all humanity (after making peace with each other).

 

* In the ''[[Star Wars]]'' EU ''[[Young Jedi Knights]]'', there's the Diversity Alliance. Who plan on killing humans with a [[Depopulation Bomb|bio-weapon]] that only targets humans.

** Far earlier, there were several anti-human [[La Résistance|resistance movements]] on Coruscant, mostly in reaction to the oppressively human-centrist government.

* In ''[[The Stainless Steel Rat]] Wants You'', humanity is attacked by a coalition of alien races hell-bent on wiping out all humans simply for looking ugly. Their only similarities are that they're all slimy, ugly (from a human point of view), and reptilian/amphibian.

 

 

== Live Action TV ==

** According to the non-canon Shatnerverse novels, it was Tiberius himself who manages to convince the Cardassians and the Klingons (who hate each other) to join against the weakened Empire, after Spock ousts him. Then they pull an [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]] on him.

** There are also the Xindi, who are hell-bent on eliminating humanity. While they're all originally from the same planet, they are five (formerly six) distinct species.

** The blood elves are another example. They used to be part of the Alliance, but a racist human leader decided to betray them before they could betray him. This set off a series of events that led to them being new members of the Horde.

* The Scoia'tael in [[The Witcher]] is an alliance formed between elves, dwarves and a few other fantasy races, who commit acts of terrorism against humans in retaliation for the [[Fantastic Racism]] humans subject them to.

* In ''[[The Elder Scrolls]]'' series, both before Tiber Septim's rise to power and after the fall of the Septim Dynasty and the beginning of the Fourth Era, the Summerset Isles (the Altmer) and Valenwood (the Bosmer) were a unified nation known as the Aldmeri Dominion (which is decidedly anti-human in its overall stance). Before, Tiber Septim used a massive golem to conquer it. After, as of the books (which are set 160 years before Skyrim, and this section MAY need to be revised when new information from Skyrim dumps out), the Dominion is in direct conflict with Titus Mede's reborn Empire. Given the lore of the Altmer (who are the dominant partner in the Dominion), it would stand to reason that they are quite decidedly anti-human in stance, even if the two power blocs are powerful enough to discourage open war.

* If you played the Renegade path in ''[[Mass Effect]] 1'', the Citadel species become a lesser version of this in ''2'': they aren't openly hostile to humanity, but they resent humanity's quick rise to power and the implication that Shepard deliberately threw the Battle of the Citadel in order to kill the Council.

 

 

* In ''[[The Order of the Stick|Order of the Stick]]'', [[The Dragon|Redcloak]]'s goblins & hobgoblins fight alongside [[Big Bad|Xykon]]'s undead against the mostly-human Azure City. Redcloak may be a [[Card-Carrying Villain]], but he and his forces are also fighting their right [[What Measure Is a Mook?|not to exist only to be killed for]] [[Experience Points]]. On the other hand, Xykon's fighting to accomplish his current [[Evil Plan]] and [[For the Evulz]].

* In ''[[Goblins]]'', there's a generalized conflict between the humans and their allies (dwarves and elves), and creatures such as goblins, orcs, ogres, etc. The main reason for the conflict seems to be [[Fantastic Racism]] on part of the humans, most of whom aren't very bright.
