FLCL Progressive reveals that this is true of Haruko Haruhara, as she takes on a much more disturbing form to devour Jinyu.She explains that she can assume the appearance that pleases her owner (Duke Everlue had a fetish for ugly women).
Later when Lucy obtains her key, she reappears with a petite yet curvaceous body and a delicate face. Fairy Tail: When we're first introduced to Virgo, she appears as a giant and bulky gorilla-like maid under the service of Duke Everlue.This is the reason why the Scab Coral created human form Coralians to interact with humanity in Eureka Seven.She asks them to take a cute form, but they have trouble with the concept, and she ends up having them change forms over a hundred times (offscreen) before settling on something that looks like a cross between Pikachu and Kerberos/Kero. They change into a shimmering vaguely-humanoid metallic shape, which reminds Mile too much of the bad guy from Terminator 2. When they originally appear to Mile, she complains that they look scary, like a swarm of metal bees. The anime adaptation of Didn't I Say to Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life? plays with this for "Nano", the physical representation of the nanomachines that enact this fantasy world's pseudo-magic.This becomes a plot point in the "Sakura Cards" arc when a magic field prevents both of them from returning to their "borrowed forms" and Sakura has to come up with a solution. Their true forms constantly emit magic (since both are the products of magic), which becomes dangerous if prolonged. It serves a practical function as well, particularly in the case of Yue. Probably because a large flying lion with some kind of helmet and a rather scary blueish angel would freak people out. At first, they sleep mode as a stuffed animal and ordinary human, but even after recovering their true forms, they don't use them much. Cerberus/Kero and Yue in Cardcaptor Sakura/Cardcaptors.That, or Sebastian just likes the clothes. Sebastian of Black Butler is strongly implied to have no form he's truly comfortable with, not even his own demon form, and simply chooses this human form for the sake of Ciel.Apparently the forms that gods and demons appear in to humans are a 3-dimensional translation of their true 10-dimensional bodies. It also appears that gods and demons don't have too much control over how they look, considering that Skuld is stuck looking like a kid, much to her chagrin. To be fair, he's only seen one demon's true form, which causes him to nearly lose his mind seeing it, and it did make him consider what Belldandy actually looked like.It's predictable that demons in Ah! My Goddess are actually monstrous, but it's revealed at the same time that even Belldandy isn't as human as she normally appears.See also God in Human Form and Interface with a Familiar Face. Contrast They Look Like Us Now and Prefers the True Form. Related to Lies to Children, especially if the form taken is in some way representative or symbolic of the thing's true nature.

This is a common practice among Sufficiently Advanced Aliens, along with Translator Microbes, to allow full communication.

Of course, the practical reason for this trope is that it is easier (and more realistic) to cast Morgan Freeman as God than it is to figure out what God really looks like.
In many cases, the nonhuman being will appear in the form of something, usually a humanlike form, that the human can wrap his head around, because not doing so might ruin the point of the entity talking to the humans in the first place. Or they fear having to deal with hours of questions and a great deal of prejudice humans tend to flip out when they see a dragon or learn that fairies are real. Sometimes the non-human being isn't so powerful, but still has a Masquerade to maintain. Sometimes, when God or some other vastly powerful or very strange Cosmic Entity needs to have a chat with mere mortals, they are aware that the meeting might be a little too overwhelming for the human to handle.
