A
human disguise (also
human guise and sometimes
human form) is a concept in
fantasy,
folklore,
mythology,
religion,
literary tradition,
iconography, and
science fiction whereby non-
human beings such as
aliens,
angels,
demons,
gods,
monsters,
robots,
Satan, or
shapeshifters are
disguised to seem human. Stories have depicted the
deception as a means used to blend in with people, and science fiction has used the dichotomy to raise questions about what it means to be human.
