[[Opposite Tropes|Opposite Trope]] to [[Transhuman Treachery]]. [[Super-Trope]] to [[Vampire Refugee]] and [[Phlebotinum Rebel]].
This character has been hit with a [[Viral Transformation]], [[Emergency Transformation]], become a [[Cyborg]], demon, magical creature, [[Alien]] or [[Tomato in
This can also include [[
If the transformation is due to [[The Virus]], this requires copious [[Heroic Willpower]]. These characters can usually pull off a [[Sheep in Wolf's Clothing]] gambit. See also [[Monster Adventurers]]. Related to [[My Species Doth Protest Too Much]], which refers to creatures that aren't former humans.
{{examples|Examples: }}▼
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In ''[[Claymore]]'', the eponymous warrior are [[Half-Human Hybrid|Half human half demon]] who choose to fight for humanity's sake. {{spoiler|Just about every one who finds out that the organization which transformed them does ''not'' have the best interests of the citizenry at heart ends up going rogue.}}
* In ''[[Silent Möbius]]'', some {{spoiler|Type 4}} Lucifer Hawks ( {{spoiler|Rally and Katsumi!}}) raised as humans decide to serve humanity.
* The protagonist in ''[[Blue Gender]]'' has a "disease" called B Cells which are a form of [[Gaia's Vengeance]]. It's intended to cause humans to rebel against their peers and go kill crazy (which it does spectacularly to two other characters). He manages to stay sane despite the various hardships Gaia and humanity throw at him.
* Ayato in ''[[
* [[McNinja|Schwartz Bruder]] in ''[[G Gundam]]'' is this. {{spoiler|He is a dead body occupied by the DG (Devil Gundam) Cells to live. Despite being made up by the cells of the [[Big Bad]], he is the Devil Gundam host Kyoji Kasshu's physical manifestation, driven to save his brother and stop the Devil Gundam}}.
* In ''[[Hellsing]]'', while most vampires revel in their non - humanity even if they fight for humans, Seras does everything in her power to remain as human as possible without neglecting her duties to the organization... which involve drinking blood in order to use her vampiric powers killing vampires that threaten humanity.
* In ''[[
* In ''[[Trinity Blood]]'', Abel Nightroad is a Cruznik, a being that feeds upon vampires (and is thus two steps above humans in the [[Food Chain of Evil|food chain]]). That doesn't stop him from devoting his life to defending humanity, and using his relatively harmless default form to masquerade as a normal human. He is an interesting example of a Pro-Human Transhuman in that he was a [[Designer Baby]] and thus born a transhuman. {{spoiler|He was also originally quite anti-human.}}
* Kira in ''[[Gundam Seed]]'' is accidentally this, being a Coordinator fighting for an army consisting entirely of Naturals (in a war started to exterminate his kind!). Not really his intention: he only fights to protect his friends.
* This is [[Invoke

* In [[Fred Saberhagen]]'s ''[[Berserker (Literature)|Berserker]]'' stories, Hilary Gage, an artificial intelligence designed to mimic every aspect of the human thought process, continues to think of "himself" as human, at least with respect to interstellar politics, despite being very much aware of the fact that "he" has no biological body parts. Later, he {{spoiler|downloads himself into a berserker warship's central AI, and has to make sure he maintains enough control to prevent the warship from continuing its fight against humanity.}}
* In ''[[Old
* In [http://www.karenetaylor.com/ Karen E. Taylor]'s ''[http://www.goodreads.com/series/65538-the-vampire-legacy Vampire Legacy]'' series, [[Vampire Detective]] Dierdre prefers working with humans to other vampires, despite the [[Fantastic Racism]] that carries.
== [[Live
* In ''[[Being Human (UK)]]'' the three main characters are a vampire, a werewolf, and a ghost who still care about humans and are trying to live as normally as they can.
* This happens a couple of times in the new ''[[Doctor Who]]'' with Cybermen who haven't been 100% perfectly converted. Specifically, in "Doomsday" converted Torchwood head Yvonne Hartman shoots a bunch of Cybermen while [[Madness Mantra|repeating]] "I did my duty for queen and country...I did my duty for queen and country..."
* ''[[Kamen Rider]]'' series does this as a tradition. For instance, the original show (also named ''[[Kamen Rider (TV series)|Kamen Rider]]'') involves the main character becoming a Shocker cyborg monster, but he didn't lose his humanity and used the same transformation to fight the [[Monster of the Week|Shocker creations]]. The shows that followed more or less follow the same idea of their ability to transform being related to the villain of the show.
** In ''[[Kamen Rider 555]],'' Orphenochs are supposedly the next evolution of mankind, and the evil organization forces them to attack normal humans (in hopes of siring more Orphenochs. However, about one in a hundred can be transformed; most just ''turn to dust.'') Some just go nuts on their own. However, there's a trio of renegade Orphenochs living together ''[[Being Human (UK)]]-''style. The Rider suits were created by the bad guys, but are not themselves part of the transformation, though for the main Rider, {{spoiler|it turns out there's a very good reason he can use a [[Transformation Trinket]] that isn't supposed to work for humans.}}
== [[Tabletop
* MasterBook RPG ''The World of Species'', based on the film ''[[Species]]''. Humans are injected with some of Sil's DNA, causing them to gain some of her abilities. This allows them to hunt down and destroy Sil's progeny, but they must constantly fight against the alien thoughts and personality traits generated by the DNA in their systems.
* ''[[Dungeons
* In ''[[Warhammer 40
** It does actually vary by Chapter to Chapter on whether they're the protectors of humanity or the executioners of the Emperor's enemies. Chapters such as the Ultramarines, Space Wolves, Blood Angels, Imperial Fists, and Raven Guard give much more emphasis on protecting the Imperium's civilians, but the only chapter which places more emphasis on protecting humanity over killing the Emperor's enemies is the Salamanders.
** Chaos Space Marines on the other hand, almost all seek the favor of their dark gods for personal gain.
== [[Video Games]] ==
* In ''[[Videogames/Bioforge|Bioforge]]'' the [[Mad Scientist]] hoped that you would succumb to [[Transhuman Treachery]] after he upgraded (and deformed) you, but instead made you into a vengeful [[Phlebotinum Rebel]].
* In ''[[Alpha Centauri]]'', eventually you gain the technology to turn your people into transhuman "transcendii," who are basically energy beings via [[Brain Uploading]]. They're still loyal citizens, each and every one.
* If one plays [[Deus Ex: Human Revolution
== [[Web
* People in ''[[Crimson Dark]]'' with lots of [[Cyborg|augs]], despite often [[Hollywood Cyborg|being less than 20% flesh]], still act just like normal humans.
* [[The Kingfisher]]: Vampirism doesn't make one inherently evil, but the pro-human vampires are few: mainly Helen, Vitus, Jack, Tristan, and Darren. Notably, some of the least powerful characters in the story.
== [[Web Original]] ==
* The Sephirotic Archailects and their ancestors, the early pro-human transapients, from ''[[
