Much like the [[Token Non-Human]], with a slight twist; in this case, almost the entire cast consists of non-humans, leaving only a single

{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[Shirokuma Cafe]]'' has Sasako, the cafe's sole waitress and Mr. Handa, the zookeeper. The cafe is run by a polar bear and the zoo employs the majority of the cafe's animal patrons.
* This is half the premise of ''[[Rosario
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"|Sensei/Modern Lit]] is the only significant human in [[Upotte!!]]. All the other characters are anthropomorphized guns.
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* The [[Big Bad]] of ''[[Usagi Yojimbo]]'', Lord Hikiji, is the only human in the setting. He's only been shown unmasked once, right at the start of the series, and creator Stan Sakai has since said he regrets making him human. (Since that time, barring a couple of brief flashbacks where he turns up so heavily armored that his species cannot be discerned, the character has only been alluded to.)
== [[Fan Works]]
* [[Ace Attorney|Phoenix Wright]] becomes this in ''[[

* Every now and then, ''[[Doctor Who]]'' has a situation like this. At one point, the Team TARDIS was three [[Human Alien
* Mike/Joel on ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'', not counting the various crazy people sending him movies. They both spend most of their time surrounded by [[
* ''[[The Muppet Show]]'' usually had one human guest and all muppets otherwise, though some muppets are human-like muppets.
* Every so often, the cast of ''[[Being Human (UK)|Being Human]]'' picks up one. They tend to not last, though. The most prominent would be Nina (until she is turned into a werewolf) and Lucy (until she {{spoiler|was murdered}})
* ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]'' has in its main and recurring cast of characters Bajorans, Ferengi, Cardassians, a Trill, a Klingon, a shapeshifter ... and a couple of humans.

* Can happen in about any fantasy/sci-fi roleplaying game where humans are only one of the playable races.

* Karn in the first ''[[Breath of Fire]]'' game. The protagonist comes closest in ''Breath of Fire II'' but is at least half-dragon.
**
*** Momo has kitsune ears, so definitely is not the token human.
** The fourth game in the series averts this, as there are no humans in the players party! Protagonist looks like a human but is actually {{spoiler|second half of an ancient dragon god}} and the others being a wyndian, woren, sentient armor, anthropomorphic dog and a humanoid with kitsune-like features.
* Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik in the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' series until ''[[

* Tip, token human of ''[[Skin Horse]],'' is just as eccentric as his friends, being a [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]. Though the rest of the team consists of a transgenic superdog, a crazy zombie, a clockwork killer robot, a swarm of bees, and a helicopter with a human brain in a jar.▼

** The "Hyoo-mans", a type of fish-human hybrid, were probably once fully human. It is most likely a result of the Mushroom War, whose title implies a nuclear war. Also, there is still no solid confirmation on whether {{spoiler|Susan Strong}} is indeed a human.
