* In the horror movie ''Embryo'', Rock Hudson is a scientist who develops a way of fast-aging fetuses in incubators, so they're adults by the time they become conscious.

Their built-in protection from divination magic prevented anyone from discovering the truth.
* ''[[Promethean: The Created]]'': The vast majority of [[Frankenstein's Monster|Prometheans]] come into the world as adults. In fact, it's a necessity for the creation process that the body used has to have undergone puberty. Mind you, when they're born, all they have is a rudimentary understanding of the old body's main language and a set of autonomic functions.
* ''[[Paranoia]]'' sometimes has clone bodies quick-grown to an adult state.
