Line 5:
 
Such a character is potentially subject to [[Merlin Sickness]] -- being born old but then proceeding to age backwards. It's also possible that the character [[Really Was Born Yesterday]].

== Anime and Manga ==
Line 31:
* [[Disney Fairies]]: Fairies come into being appearing to be young adults.
* The cloned super-soldiers of the Ghost Brigades in the [[Old Mans War]] series.
* The golems in the ''[[Discworld]]'' novels are created (forged) in adult form. And they stay that way for a [[Who Wants to Live Forever?|long, very long time]].
* [[Frankenstein]]'s Monster.
* ''[[The Curious Case of Benjamin Button]]''.
Line 69:
** If the Clone and Stasis Clone spells were used on adults, the clones they created would be adults too.
** In the [[Forgotten Realms]] setting, Living Constructs ({{spoiler|Alias}} and her "sisters") were based on one of their creators' modified clone and thus created in adult form. The first has escaped after receiving [[Fake Memories]], but the second generation was released as is and thought they had an incurable amnesia. Their built-in protection from divination magic prevented anyone from discovering the truth.
* ''[[Promethean: The Created]]'': The vast majority of [[FrankensteinsFrankenstein'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.
 
Line 86:

* [[We Are Our Avatars (Roleplay)|Luca]], the Lucario gijinka has the body of a teenager when she first showed up, but since she was [[Artificial Human|artificially]] [[Half -Human Hybrid|made by]] [[Pokémon Black and White|Dr. Araragi]], this is justified.
