Some authors have adopted the Morlocks and adapted them to their works, often completely unassociated with ''The Time Machine'', or were named in-universe in homage to H.G. Wells' works. The Morlocks appeared in a story by [[Alan Moore]] titled ''[[Allan and the Sundered Veil]]'',{{when|date=April 2025}} which appeared as part of the [[comic book]] collection ''[[The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Volume I]]''. In the story, the Time Traveller takes some of the regular League characters into his future world, where he has made a base out of the Morlock sphinx. The party is soon attacked by Morlocks, who are fierce, [[simian]] creatures in this story.  They are physically much more powerful than Wells' creatures, although they're similar to the Hunter Morlocks from the [[The Time Machine (2002 film)|2002 film]].

[[Larry Niven]] included a version of the Morlocks in his ''[[Known Space]]'' books.{{when|date=April 2025}} They appear as a [[wikt:subhuman|subhuman]] alien race living in the caves in one region of [[Known Space|Wunderland]], which is one of [[human]]ity's colonies in the [[Alpha Centauri]] system. Many of these stories are by [[Hal Colebatch (author)|Hal Colebatch]] in the shared spin-off series, "[[Man-Kzin Wars|The Man Kzin Wars]]", especially in vols. X, XI and XII. They are also mentioned in stories in the same series by M. J. Harringtom. In [[Joanna Russ]]' short story "The Second Inquisition",{{when|date=April 2025}} ''The Time Machine'' is referenced a number of times, and the unnamed character referred to as "our guest" (who is evidently a visitor from the future) claims to be a Morlock, although she does not physically resemble Wells' Morlocks.

In the fictional universe of ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'',{{when|date=April 2025}} Morlocks are the elite warriors of the Iron Hands chapter of space marines and feature in several [[The Horus Heresy (novels)|Horus Heresy novels]] where they act as bodyguards for their primarch Ferrus Manus.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Morlocks - Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum |url=https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Morlock |access-date=2025-04-04 |website=wh40k.lexicanum.com}}</ref> The inhabitants of the Moscow metro are sometimes sarcastically referred to as Morlocks in Dmitry Glukhovsky's ''[[Metro 2033 (novel)|Metro 2033]]''.{{when|date=April 2025}}
