Human suit

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A human suit is a costume intended to disguise one as a human being, or a different human being. It could be made out of fabrics, synthetic materials, animal skins, or, as in the movie Silence of the Lambs, human skin.

It could also be used as a rhetorical device to refer to the animal qualities of another. (i.e. He/She is like a ... in a giant human suit.)
