anthropomorphous
Having human form
Anthropomorphous means having human form or characteristics.
The term describes anything shaped like or resembling a human being—an anthropomorphous deity, an anthropomorphous robot.
It overlaps with *anthropomorphic*, though that word more often describes the attribution of human qualities to non-human things: The ancient Greeks worshipped anthropomorphous gods.
