* In one ''[[Fantastic Four (Comic Book)|Fantastic Four]]'' story Reed Richards hypnotized some alien shapeshifters called the Skrulls into thinking they were ordinary Earth cows. Years later those alien cows got mixed in with Earth cows and some were slaughtered for beef. The alien flesh though gave some people a virus that let them [[Cursed with Awesome|shapeshift their bodies into deadly weapons and detect hidden skrulls]] and it would also eventually kill them. The best part? [[Paranoia Fuel|There is no way of telling which cow is a Skrull until you eat it.]]
 
 
Line 59:
* There's an episode of ''[[Invader Zim]]'' with warlike alien raiders who look exactly like babies.
* In one ''[[Darkwing Duck (animation)|Darkwing Duck]]'' episode ("Twin Beaks"), the hero gets help from aliens that look exactly like Earth cows -- though this is not exactly this trope, since it is probably only these cows that are aliens, not all cows on Earth.
** Possibly a [[Shout-Out]] to the ''[[Fantastic Four (Comic Book)|Fantastic Four]]'' story mentioned above, in which Reed hypnotized some shapeshifting aliens into [[Shapeshifter Mode Lock|mode locking]] themselves as cows.
* In the animated series of ''[[Men in Black (animation)|Men in Black]]'' it is revealed that Frank the Pug looks very much like a dog anyway underneath his disguise suit.
* [[Kid vs. Kat|Kat]] comes from a planet where everyone not only looks like cats, but their language is cat-like, and they have many of the same behavorial patterns as Earth cats. Oh, and there's a race of alien hamsters, too. [[Paranoia Fuel|They're everywhere!]]
