** Midna from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'' is a black- and grey-skinned imp with [[RedEyesTakeWarning red irises]], [[YellowEyesOfSneakiness yellow sclera]], ScaryTeeth, and a freakily designed helmet/mask who has a faint resemblance to the Shadow Beasts that drag Link into the Twilight at the start of the story. And she does have some KickTheDog moments early on, such as riding on Link's back when he's in wolf form without asking, taunting both him over his kidnapped friends and Princess Zelda over the Twilight-corrupted state of Hyrule, repeatedly making clear she cares more about her native Twilight Realm than Hyrule, and overall being rather bossy. [[{{Tsundere}} Underneath it all]], however, she's still a heroic character who's nonetheless willing to help the people of Hyrule because that also means defeating Zant, and even underneath the snark still respects Link and especially Zelda for helping her. She also [[TookALevelInKindness becomes much nicer]] over the course of the game, especially after Link and Zelda save her from nearly dying.

*** The trend of Dark-type trainers being decent people outside of battle continues into ''VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield''. Rival Marnie is aloof but unquestionably polite and whose friendliness to the protagonist is only behind Hop (given her Morpeko ''really'' likes the player and lead Pokémon tend to mirror their trainer's feelings). Gym Leader Piers is the head of a punk band whose gym functions almost like ''Streets of Rage'', but is one of the more openly friendly Leaders and ends up playing a major role in the end-game and post-game definitively on the player's side.

* ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork'' has a fair few, both in Navi and Operator flavors:
** The {{Gonk}}ish Dex and {{Hulk Speak}}ing Gutsman.EXE look like stock shonenbullies, but are actually some of Lan and Megaman.EXE's closest and most loyal friends. Dex is also a devoted older brother to his little brother Chisao.
** Mr. Match has a BeardOfEvil (of the pointy goatee variety) and is an avowed PyroManiac (the man has set at least ''four'' different locations on fire) but turns over a new leaf in ''6'' and becomes, of all things, a fire safety teacher. He's still crazy HotBlooded and a little nuts, but now he genuinely means well. Similarly, Heatman.EXE is one of the most terrifying Navis out there, looking for all the world like a homicidal zippo lighter with flaming eyes and maw, but he's actually quite jovial and friendly, and is the only one of Mr. Match's three Navis to be unabiguously heroic.
** Raoul and Thunderman.EXE are both tall and imposing figures with stern expressions edging into PerpetualFrowner... while being some of the most noble, honorable, and nicest people in the series. Raoul not only helps Lan when Megaman suffers from a Curse effect that drains his HP over time, but even calls out the responsible party, [[spoiler:his own tribe's leader]] for such underhanded, short-sighted behavior, and refuses to even consider battling Megaman in that condition--not only is it unsporting, he prioritizes helping his friend first over a tainted victory.
** Knightman.EXE looks like a hulking, unfriendly brute ready to smash at a moment's notice thanks to his giant mace and dark armor... except he's a brave defender and has an innately noble and heroic nature, and is roped into evil acts only because [[MyMasterRightOrWrong he is steadfastly loyal to his mistress, even when she makes terrible life decisions]]. When given the opportunity to be a proper hero, he leaps at the chance and proves to be his team's BigGuy.
** Junkman.EXE doesn't even look like a Navi.. instead, he bears an uncanny resemblance to a broken, shrunken-down Life Virus, and he comes across as bitter and cruel at first after [[GrandTheftMe bodyjacking Megaman]]. Only after his defeat does he admit that he was desperately lonely, and looking for someone to be kind to him. Megaman reaching out and treating him like a fellow Navi, not a monster, is what finally allows him to feel a bit of peace, and his last words are acknowledging that he was glad to have met Megaman, however briefly.
** Dustman.EXE looks like some sort of stereotypical thug robot from ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'', between the evil eye shapes and various pointy parts... but he and his operator Mr. Press are nice guys who encourage recycling and help build roads, and Dustman himself actually saves Lan and Megaman once on his own.
** Dustman's best friend and counterpart Groundman.EXE looks like an evil beartrap-jawed drill-laden take on Guts-Dozer, but is actually also a nice guy who spends most of his time teaching geology and excavation to kids.
* ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork'' has a fair few, both in Navi and Operator flavors:
** The {{Gonk}}ish Dex and {{Hulk Speak}}ing Gutsman.EXE look like stock shonenbullies, but are actually some of Lan and Megaman.EXE's closest and most loyal friends. Dex is also a devoted older brother to his little brother Chisao.
** Mr. Match has a BeardOfEvil (of the pointy goatee variety) and is an avowed PyroManiac (the man has set at least ''four'' different locations on fire) but turns over a new leaf in ''6'' and becomes, of all things, a fire safety teacher. He's still crazy HotBlooded and a little nuts, but now he genuinely means well. Similarly, Heatman.EXE is one of the most terrifying Navis out there, looking for all the world like a homicidal zippo lighter with flaming eyes and maw, but he's actually quite jovial and friendly, and is the only one of Mr. Match's three Navis to be unabiguously heroic.
** Raoul and Thunderman.EXE are both tall and imposing figures with stern expressions edging into PerpetualFrowner... while being some of the most noble, honorable, and nicest people in the series. Raoul not only helps Lan when Megaman suffers from a Curse effect that drains his HP over time, but even calls out the responsible party, [[spoiler:his own tribe's leader]] for such underhanded, short-sighted behavior, and refuses to even consider battling Megaman in that condition--not only is it unsporting, he prioritizes helping his friend first over a tainted victory.
** Knightman.EXE looks like a hulking, unfriendly brute ready to smash at a moment's notice thanks to his giant mace and dark armor... except he's a brave defender and has an innately noble and heroic nature, and is roped into evil acts only because [[MyMasterRightOrWrong he is steadfastly loyal to his mistress, even when she makes terrible life decisions]]. When given the opportunity to be a proper hero, he leaps at the chance and proves to be his team's BigGuy.
** Junkman.EXE doesn't even look like a Navi.. instead, he bears an uncanny resemblance to a broken, shrunken-down Life Virus, and he comes across as bitter and cruel at first after [[GrandTheftMe bodyjacking Megaman]]. Only after his defeat does he admit that he was desperately lonely, and looking for someone to be kind to him. Megaman reaching out and treating him like a fellow Navi, not a monster, is what finally allows him to feel a bit of peace, and his last words are acknowledging that he was glad to have met Megaman, however briefly.
** Dustman.EXE looks like some sort of stereotypical thug robot from ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'', between the evil eye shapes and various pointy parts... but he and his operator Mr. Press are nice guys who encourage recycling and help build roads, and Dustman himself actually saves Lan and Megaman once on his own.

* Occurs in ''Franchise/FireEmblem'' games every once in a while:
** Gonzales from ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemElibe Fire Emblem: Sword of Seals]]''. Nice guy overall, looks like [[https://serenesforest.net/wp-content/gallery/binding-blade/path-of-radiance-gallery/gonzalez.png this.]]
** Garret [[https://serenesforest.net/wp-content/gallery/binding-blade/path-of-radiance-gallery/garret.png would qualify as well.]]
** ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Awakening]]''[='s=] Brady [[http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/File:Brady_(FE13_Artwork).png looks like]] a tough {{delinquent|s}}, but is in fact a [[TheMedic priest]] with poor reflexes, and a crybaby to boot.
** In ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemFates Fates]]'', [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/68e12125f630ad073f12a7ca2919fed8.jpg Benny]] is a hulking mercenary with a mohawk and scarred face, and a [[GentleGiant kind-hearted man]] who is [[AFatherToHisMen very protective of his comrades]]; his son Ignatius inherited this too as he looks unsociable but like his father he is actually timid.
*** Benny's son Ignatius is something of a downplayed example, as most of the other characters aren't outright scared of him, but his stern-looking face often makes them think he's in a bad mood.
** ''Fates'' also features the "generally intimidating" rather than "outright ugly" version of the trope with Xander. He's actually fairly handsome, but he tends to have a serious or stern look on his face most of the time. His supports with Mozu and Sakura specifically point this out; both of them start out intimidated by him.
** While it's [[DownplayedTrope not quite to the extent]] of the above three, as it only comes up in one support chain, Laslow refers to Saizo as a "scary guy in a mask" in ''Revelation''. It probably helps that [[HotBlooded Saizo]] looks rather angry most of the time, to the point that his ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'' title is "Angry Ninja".
** There's a downplayed example with Jesse in ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemGaiden Echoes: Shadows of Valentia]]''. While no one comments on his appearance during the main game (and he looks fairly pleasant), Silque assumes that he's a brigand at first and says that he has an "unwashed rogue" appearance in a flashback. This is an InformedDeformity as Jesse is clean-shaven, handsome and altogether heroic [[https://fireemblem.fandom.com/wiki/File:Jesse_Echoes.png in appearance]].
** Hubert in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'', while by no means deformed and in fact rather handsome, sports by default a very untrustworthy, thuggish face expression and is a high-class manipulator. He ends up playing a role similar to Gharnef, but on the Crimson Flower route, he's on your side and still capable of acts of decency and has nothing but contempt for "those who slither in the dark", while on other routes he's at least nice enough to leave behind a note that helps the party track down the Agarthans[=/=]TWSITD and exact retribution on them.
* ''Franchise/StreetFighter'':
** ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII'': Zangief has the ''face'' and ''voice'' of one, too. To elaborate: his face is usually contorted in anger with a [[BeardOfBarbarism barbaric]] and [[BeardOfEvil evil-looking beard]], his head is shaved aside from a [[DelinquentHair wild mohawk]] in the middle, his [[EvilSoundsDeep deep, booming]] [[EvilLaugh laugh]] rings through the air, his giant and intimidating muscular body is covered head to toe in red scars, with [[CarpetOfVirility hair everywhere]]. Yet he's one of the nicest characters in the cast, a GracefulLoser, and a GentleGiant that likes to help others, [[FriendToAllChildren especially children]]. Combined with his [[DirtyCommunists Soviet origin]] during the ''UsefulNotes/ColdWar'', many players mistook Zangief for a villain. No wonder he appears in a villain support group in ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph''.
* ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'' has Igor, whose evil-looking eyes and creepily long GagNose gives you the impression that he's a bad guy...except he's actually the series BigGood (from VideoGame/Persona3 onwards) and your most valuable ally in every game.
** Takeharu Kirijo, Mitsuru's father, from ''VideoGame/Persona3''. When he first appears, he's described as "scary-looking" (complete with an eyepatch!), but he proves to be a surprisingly noble man and a genuinely caring, if stern, father who admonishes Mitsuru to work in harmony with others rather than try to shoulder everything alone, and feels guilty that his daughter and her friends are forced to clean up after his father's mistakes.
** ''VideoGame/Persona4'''s Kanji Tatsumi, the tough guy who can take down a biker gang with his bare hands, is often mistaken for being ''in'' a gang, and...[[RealMenWearPink likes to sew]], being incredibly good at it. He's also the [[YoungerThanTheyLook youngest of the team]].
* ''VideoGame/HarvestMoon'':
** Hayden from ''VideoGame/HarvestMoonTreeOfTranquility[=/=][[VideoGame/HarvestMoonAnimalParade Animal Parade]].'' It's a bit of an InformedAbility, because he looks as cute and {{chibi}} as everyone else, but according to characters in-game, his bearded face and BigOlEyebrows are so offputting they ''scare children.'' Which is sad, because Hayden is a [[RealMenWearPink domestic,]] [[FriendToAllChildren softhearted]] [[MyLocal bartender]] who's almost universally liked in the town. Not to mention, he really wishes he could be a preschool teacher, and his wish is revealed to be "I wish my face didn't scare children".
** And then there's Gannon in ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonSunshineIslands Sunshine Islands]].'' He's got a pretty creepy/ugly face and walks/looks kinda like a gorilla, but once you befriend him, you see he's actually really nice. And even prior to that, his [[UglyGuyCuteDaughter adorable daughter Eliza]] says that while he "talks like a hooligan, he'll never leave my side." [[PetTheDog Awww.]]
* ''VideoGame/CorpseParty'' has Yoshiki Kishinuma. He enjoys teasing Satoshi, but so does everyone else, and he's a pretty decent guy overall.
* A large amount of the cast in ''VideoGame/InazumaEleven'' look like thugs and bullies like Someoka, Builder, Tobitaka, and other recruitable characters whose faces are just plain scary and weird. To put it, Someoka looks very similar to Garret example above.
* In [[GeniusBruiser Iron Tager]]'s Story mode in ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'', he is attacked by [[HighlyVisibleNinja Bang]], who claims he looks evil and will probably do something evil someday. This is not the case: Tager is a [[LawfulNeutral decent enough guy]] [[PunchClockVillain who's just doing his job]], and won't harm you unless you interfere with his mission or [[MissionControl Kokonoe]] orders him to, but he does look like a hulking red ogre. Then again, this is '''[[IdiotHero Bang]]''' we're talking about.
** {{Downplayed|Trope}} with Ragna, the main character. [[{{Bishonen}} He's quite a handsome guy]], [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold and quite a good guy deep down too]], but he's also a PerpetualFrowner, so people have trouble approaching him.
* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'':
** Hydreigon is frequently portrayed this way, as it's mentioned to be vicious, destructive, and all-in-all the closest thing the series has to a [[JustForPun Horsemon of the Apokélypse]], not helped because of [[BigBad Ghetsis's]] own [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard horribly underleveled]] Hydreigon. But ''VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeonGatesToInfinity'' has Hydreigon as an important character… and to be honest, you'd never find a nicer 'mon in that game. He's polite, well-spoken, a little bit of a [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} ditz]], [[BigEater has a massive appetite]]… and he says that an apt description of his species is ''[[WhereWhere really scary!]]''
** Elite Four member Sidney becomes this in the remakes of ''Ruby and Sapphire'' - [[http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/f/fa/Omega_Ruby_Alpha_Sapphire_Sidney.png he looks like he is going to skin your cat alive now,]] but still jokingly refers to himself as "this loser" and ''cheers you on'' when you defeat him.
** This trait appears to be a common trend among trainers who specialize in Dark types. Grimsley has an appearance that suggests that he's a vampire of some sort but in reality he's self-depreciating, and Nanu, Ula'Ula Island's Kahuna, also appears to be intimidating, but at the same time, he also appears to be pretty apathetic (although this may also be an act).
** Pokémon that evolved through a high friendship stat usually look very friendly. The same can't be said about Crobat, which evolved from Golbat. It always has a scowl on its face, baring its teeth and let's not forget its angry red eyes with yellow sclera. People new to the series wouldn't even know this grouchy-looking Pokémon is in that form, because it genuinely values its friendship with its Trainer so much.
** Other Pokémon may have intimidating appearances but their actual behavior is anything but: Granbull is a bulldog with huge fangs, but at the same time it's a timid fairy type. Its pre-evolved form Snubbull has a permanent case of Resting Bitch Face, but its Pokédex entries describe it frolicking with women. Golisopod is a giant 6-foot isopod covered in steel-hard scales and massive claws... that runs away when its health drops below half. Araquanid a massive spider that's nearly six feet tall and has a permanent glare, but also takes care of any weak or injured Pokémon it finds.
* ''VideoGame/ProfessorLaytonVSAceAttorney'' has Cutter, a minor character with a thuggish outward appearance who's actually a kind-hearted sculptor.
* From the ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'' and ''VideoGame/SoulSeries'', we have Yoshimitsu. What's interesting is that he's always wearing masks, so his actual face is concealed. However, the masks he always chooses to wear look downright creepy and menacing. Anyone unfamiliar with ''Tekken'' or the ''Soul Series'' would likely assume that he's a villain, but he's one of the most heroic and nicest guys in the series.
** The games lore have also suggested that there have been multiple Yoshimitsus throughout these series, and that Yoshimitsu is the title of the leader of the ninja clan that he belongs to rather than a specific characters name, meaning that the character is actually '''multiple''' good guys with an evil looking face.
* Letho of Gullet from ''VideoGame/TheWitcher2AssassinsOfKings'' looks like your typical DumbMuscle, [[ExploitedTrope except he's also acutely aware of it]] and takes advantage of others [[ObfuscatingStupidity once they start assuming he is]].
** Most Witchers you come across have the face of the thug. It comes with being quite hard to actually kill, yet working a job that has them waist deep in [[GoddamnBats drowners]], [[DemonicSpiders various wraiths]], and worse on a nearly constant basis. They may or may not be decent fellows, depending on the exact Witcher, but they've all got enough badass to back up their scars. They wouldn't be Witchers otherwise.
** Sigi Reuven aka [[spoiler: Sigismund Djikstra]] looks and sounds like a thug (and not even a badass action guy, just a fat, brutish bar-brawler,) but is actually the smartest crimelord of Novgorod and [[spoiler: former spymaster of Redania]].
* Mark Kimberly from ''VideoGame/{{Shenmue}}'' has a mean look about him, but is one of the friendliest ''gaijin'' Ryo can meet in Yokosuka. Mark's intimidating look has a lot to do with him [[WhatCouldHaveBeen originally being a member of the Mad Angels gang in pre-production]], but he was changed into a NiceGuy later on.
* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'':
** Grog from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' and ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'' is a rather pale and somber-looking young man who sits moping under a tree; in the latter game, he even has a spiky mohawk that makes him look like a typical punk. But under the seemingly grim exterior is a FriendToAllLivingThings; the ''Ocarina of Time'' version determines that Link must be a nice guy on account of the latter getting along with Grog's beloved pet Cucco, while the ''Majora's Mask'' version is able to soften his grimly fatalistic outlook on the imminent destruction of Termina by the Moon upon seeing his flock of Cucco chicks [[OvernightAgeUp grow into roosters before his eyes]].
** Batreaux from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword'' is a demon who looks the part, but he is actually a nice guy who gets along well with children and wants to become a human so he can interact with people without scaring them. Granted, he ''does'' unwillingly cause monsters to appear in Skyloft and make the Remlits aggressive because of his evil aura; making him human removes the aura and the enemies.
** Kilton from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'' is an ugly, grey-skinned man who wears makeup and clothes that make him look like the [[AdmiringTheAbomination monsters he obsesses over]] and owns a creepy shop called "Fang and Bone" that is only open at night. One guard character even requests that Link get a photo of Kilton to determine if the shopkeeper is really as sinister-looking as people have said. But Kilton is nonetheless a good guy who sells Link various items that help him kill monsters more easily.
** Due to the OffModel animation in its cutscenes, the ordinary citizens of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaCDiGames'' take this UpToEleven, looking scarier than even the villains of both games. In particular, Yokan first appears in an ExtremeCloseUp reminiscient of a ScreamerPrank, while Lika flashes a DeathGlare at Zelda that makes ''her'' look like one of the villains (or at least on serious drugs).
* Vandham from ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2''. He's a huge, scary-looking guy who is CoveredInScars (most notably an X-shaped scar covering his face centered on the bridge of his nose) and is introduced attacking Rex's team after their stranding in Uraya with the seeming intent to take Pyra for himself due to her being the Aegis (something that Torna and the Ardainians had been trying to do up to that point). But the fight turns out to be meant to gauge Rex's resonance with Pyra and see if he is truly worthy to be the Aegis's Driver (he even [[WhatTheHellHero chastises Rex]] for pushing her too hard), and Vandham soon afterwards happily invites them to rest at Garfont Village. Here, he's revealed to be the leader of the Garfont Mercenaries, a group dedicated to helping meet people's needs all across Alrest, and he's also known for taking in numerous war orphans of all nationalities to live in Garfont Village. For these and other reasons, he's known as a supreme NiceGuy in Uraya and AFatherToHisMen among his mercenaries. Rex and the others subsequently make plenty of comments about him being much kinder and gentler than his intimidating appearance would indicate.
** From the same game, Wulfric is a Blade who [[http://www.creativeuncut.com/gallery-32/art/xc2-wulfric.jpg looks like a demon spawned from hell itself,]] but is a friendly sort who likes to help people. He often howls in a scary fashion when he feels frustrated by peoples' reaction to his appearance, which, of course, only exacerbates the problem further. One [[ADayInTheLimelight Heart-to-Heart]] scene can result in him [[BlindAndTheBeast guiding an elderly lady with poor eyesight back to her house]], while the townspeople look on aghast; she, on the other hand, is quite happy to be helped by (what she assumes to be) such a strapping young man.
-->''One day, I will make friends with everyone!''
** Perceval is another [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/xenoblade/images/d/dc/XC2-Vasara.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20170922095202 demonic-looking]] Blade who also appears to be covered in flames, yet he is nonetheless a very compassionate and justice-oriented guy. His unique Blade Quest starts with him defending a woman who is being bullied by debt collectors and later sees him going on Merc Missions to hunt down not just those culprits but anyone who preys on the weak in a similar way.
* Pearl from ''VideoGame/Splatoon2'' is a rapper with a permanent glare who is usually seen frowning. Despite this, she's more nice, though overly energetic, than anything.
* ''VideoGame/UtawarerumonoMaskOfDeception'': Mikazuchi, Imperial Guard of the Left, usually terrifies everyone around him, and even the protagonist always feels like his life is in danger if Mikazuchi so much as looks at him. Actually, he is a pretty nice guy, he's just terrible at socializing and has a naturally intimidating presence. [[spoiler:In his disguise as Sakon the candy salesman he's much more approachable.]]
* [[ElderlyImmortal Octavian the Eagle]] of ''VideoGame/TheSecretWorld''; as if being taller and brawnier than just about every other human character in the game, he's got an [[{{Gonk}} immensely rough, craggy face]] CoveredInScars, with a heavy brow and [[LanternJawOfJustice a jawline like an entrenching tool]], and the fact that he never smiles only makes him seem even more intimidating. However, it turns out that Octavian has been a RetiredBadass for the last few hundred years, and actually refuses to get involved in any further conflicts, preferring instead to [[SeniorSleepCycle spend his days asleep on his couch]].
* Kiryu from ''VideoGame/{{Yakuza}}'' is a genuinely nice, helpful guy, but is also a former {{Yakuza}}, and people can often tell just by looking at his intimidating, [[PerpetualFrowner near-perpetually dour demeanor]].
* Kuro (last name Kiryuu, fittingly) of ''VideoGame/EnsembleStars'' used to be a delinquent and has the face and build of one. However, he gave up all of that to better take care of his younger sister, and while he looks intimidating, he's actually a very kind and helpful guy. He does have a bit of a complex about his face, though, insisting that IAmNotPretty and preferring to avoid interacting with the general public out of worry they'd be scared of him.
* Seika from '' VideoGame/MagiaRecordPuellaMagiMadokaMagicaSideStory'' is an example. Due to her social anxiety other people often mistakes Seika to be angry with them due to her face whenever she is anxious. She is painfully aware of this. In reality she is just your average good-hearted magical girl who does care for other people especially her closest friends Leila and Mitoto.
* Iron Bull from ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'' is huge and intimidating, and indeed a very fierce warrior. But anybody on his good side also knows him to be friendly and generally pretty easy to get along with.
** Gonzales from ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemElibe Fire Emblem: Sword of Seals]]''. Nice guy overall, looks like [[https://serenesforest.net/wp-content/gallery/binding-blade/path-of-radiance-gallery/gonzalez.png this.]]
** Garret [[https://serenesforest.net/wp-content/gallery/binding-blade/path-of-radiance-gallery/garret.png would qualify as well.]]
** ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Awakening]]''[='s=] Brady [[http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/File:Brady_(FE13_Artwork).png looks like]] a tough {{delinquent|s}}, but is in fact a [[TheMedic priest]] with poor reflexes, and a crybaby to boot.
** In ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemFates Fates]]'', [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/68e12125f630ad073f12a7ca2919fed8.jpg Benny]] is a hulking mercenary with a mohawk and scarred face, and a [[GentleGiant kind-hearted man]] who is [[AFatherToHisMen very protective of his comrades]]; his son Ignatius inherited this too as he looks unsociable but like his father he is actually timid.
*** Benny's son Ignatius is something of a downplayed example, as most of the other characters aren't outright scared of him, but his stern-looking face often makes them think he's in a bad mood.
** ''Fates'' also features the "generally intimidating" rather than "outright ugly" version of the trope with Xander. He's actually fairly handsome, but he tends to have a serious or stern look on his face most of the time. His supports with Mozu and Sakura specifically point this out; both of them start out intimidated by him.
** While it's [[DownplayedTrope not quite to the extent]] of the above three, as it only comes up in one support chain, Laslow refers to Saizo as a "scary guy in a mask" in ''Revelation''. It probably helps that [[HotBlooded Saizo]] looks rather angry most of the time, to the point that his ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'' title is "Angry Ninja".
** There's a downplayed example with Jesse in ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemGaiden Echoes: Shadows of Valentia]]''. While no one comments on his appearance during the main game (and he looks fairly pleasant), Silque assumes that he's a brigand at first and says that he has an "unwashed rogue" appearance in a flashback. This is an InformedDeformity as Jesse is clean-shaven, handsome and altogether heroic [[https://fireemblem.fandom.com/wiki/File:Jesse_Echoes.png in appearance]].
** Hubert in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'', while by no means deformed and in fact rather handsome, sports by default a very untrustworthy, thuggish face expression and is a high-class manipulator. He ends up playing a role similar to Gharnef, but on the Crimson Flower route, he's on your side and still capable of acts of decency and has nothing but contempt for "those who slither in the dark", while on other routes he's at least nice enough to leave behind a note that helps the party track down the Agarthans[=/=]TWSITD and exact retribution on them.
* ''Franchise/StreetFighter'':
** ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII'': Zangief has the ''face'' and ''voice'' of one, too. To elaborate: his face is usually contorted in anger with a [[BeardOfBarbarism barbaric]] and [[BeardOfEvil evil-looking beard]], his head is shaved aside from a [[DelinquentHair wild mohawk]] in the middle, his [[EvilSoundsDeep deep, booming]] [[EvilLaugh laugh]] rings through the air, his giant and intimidating muscular body is covered head to toe in red scars, with [[CarpetOfVirility hair everywhere]]. Yet he's one of the nicest characters in the cast, a GracefulLoser, and a GentleGiant that likes to help others, [[FriendToAllChildren especially children]]. Combined with his [[DirtyCommunists Soviet origin]] during the ''UsefulNotes/ColdWar'', many players mistook Zangief for a villain. No wonder he appears in a villain support group in ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph''.
* ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'' has Igor, whose evil-looking eyes and creepily long GagNose gives you the impression that he's a bad guy...except he's actually the series BigGood (from VideoGame/Persona3 onwards) and your most valuable ally in every game.
** Takeharu Kirijo, Mitsuru's father, from ''VideoGame/Persona3''. When he first appears, he's described as "scary-looking" (complete with an eyepatch!), but he proves to be a surprisingly noble man and a genuinely caring, if stern, father who admonishes Mitsuru to work in harmony with others rather than try to shoulder everything alone, and feels guilty that his daughter and her friends are forced to clean up after his father's mistakes.
** ''VideoGame/Persona4'''s Kanji Tatsumi, the tough guy who can take down a biker gang with his bare hands, is often mistaken for being ''in'' a gang, and...[[RealMenWearPink likes to sew]], being incredibly good at it. He's also the [[YoungerThanTheyLook youngest of the team]].
* ''VideoGame/HarvestMoon'':
** Hayden from ''VideoGame/HarvestMoonTreeOfTranquility[=/=][[VideoGame/HarvestMoonAnimalParade Animal Parade]].'' It's a bit of an InformedAbility, because he looks as cute and {{chibi}} as everyone else, but according to characters in-game, his bearded face and BigOlEyebrows are so offputting they ''scare children.'' Which is sad, because Hayden is a [[RealMenWearPink domestic,]] [[FriendToAllChildren softhearted]] [[MyLocal bartender]] who's almost universally liked in the town. Not to mention, he really wishes he could be a preschool teacher, and his wish is revealed to be "I wish my face didn't scare children".
** And then there's Gannon in ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonSunshineIslands Sunshine Islands]].'' He's got a pretty creepy/ugly face and walks/looks kinda like a gorilla, but once you befriend him, you see he's actually really nice. And even prior to that, his [[UglyGuyCuteDaughter adorable daughter Eliza]] says that while he "talks like a hooligan, he'll never leave my side." [[PetTheDog Awww.]]
* ''VideoGame/CorpseParty'' has Yoshiki Kishinuma. He enjoys teasing Satoshi, but so does everyone else, and he's a pretty decent guy overall.
* A large amount of the cast in ''VideoGame/InazumaEleven'' look like thugs and bullies like Someoka, Builder, Tobitaka, and other recruitable characters whose faces are just plain scary and weird. To put it, Someoka looks very similar to Garret example above.
* In [[GeniusBruiser Iron Tager]]'s Story mode in ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'', he is attacked by [[HighlyVisibleNinja Bang]], who claims he looks evil and will probably do something evil someday. This is not the case: Tager is a [[LawfulNeutral decent enough guy]] [[PunchClockVillain who's just doing his job]], and won't harm you unless you interfere with his mission or [[MissionControl Kokonoe]] orders him to, but he does look like a hulking red ogre. Then again, this is '''[[IdiotHero Bang]]''' we're talking about.
** {{Downplayed|Trope}} with Ragna, the main character. [[{{Bishonen}} He's quite a handsome guy]], [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold and quite a good guy deep down too]], but he's also a PerpetualFrowner, so people have trouble approaching him.
* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'':
** Hydreigon is frequently portrayed this way, as it's mentioned to be vicious, destructive, and all-in-all the closest thing the series has to a [[JustForPun Horsemon of the Apokélypse]], not helped because of [[BigBad Ghetsis's]] own [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard horribly underleveled]] Hydreigon. But ''VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeonGatesToInfinity'' has Hydreigon as an important character… and to be honest, you'd never find a nicer 'mon in that game. He's polite, well-spoken, a little bit of a [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} ditz]], [[BigEater has a massive appetite]]… and he says that an apt description of his species is ''[[WhereWhere really scary!]]''
** Elite Four member Sidney becomes this in the remakes of ''Ruby and Sapphire'' - [[http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/f/fa/Omega_Ruby_Alpha_Sapphire_Sidney.png he looks like he is going to skin your cat alive now,]] but still jokingly refers to himself as "this loser" and ''cheers you on'' when you defeat him.
** This trait appears to be a common trend among trainers who specialize in Dark types. Grimsley has an appearance that suggests that he's a vampire of some sort but in reality he's self-depreciating, and Nanu, Ula'Ula Island's Kahuna, also appears to be intimidating, but at the same time, he also appears to be pretty apathetic (although this may also be an act).
** Pokémon that evolved through a high friendship stat usually look very friendly. The same can't be said about Crobat, which evolved from Golbat. It always has a scowl on its face, baring its teeth and let's not forget its angry red eyes with yellow sclera. People new to the series wouldn't even know this grouchy-looking Pokémon is in that form, because it genuinely values its friendship with its Trainer so much.
** Other Pokémon may have intimidating appearances but their actual behavior is anything but: Granbull is a bulldog with huge fangs, but at the same time it's a timid fairy type. Its pre-evolved form Snubbull has a permanent case of Resting Bitch Face, but its Pokédex entries describe it frolicking with women. Golisopod is a giant 6-foot isopod covered in steel-hard scales and massive claws... that runs away when its health drops below half. Araquanid a massive spider that's nearly six feet tall and has a permanent glare, but also takes care of any weak or injured Pokémon it finds.
* ''VideoGame/ProfessorLaytonVSAceAttorney'' has Cutter, a minor character with a thuggish outward appearance who's actually a kind-hearted sculptor.
* From the ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'' and ''VideoGame/SoulSeries'', we have Yoshimitsu. What's interesting is that he's always wearing masks, so his actual face is concealed. However, the masks he always chooses to wear look downright creepy and menacing. Anyone unfamiliar with ''Tekken'' or the ''Soul Series'' would likely assume that he's a villain, but he's one of the most heroic and nicest guys in the series.
** The games lore have also suggested that there have been multiple Yoshimitsus throughout these series, and that Yoshimitsu is the title of the leader of the ninja clan that he belongs to rather than a specific characters name, meaning that the character is actually '''multiple''' good guys with an evil looking face.
* Letho of Gullet from ''VideoGame/TheWitcher2AssassinsOfKings'' looks like your typical DumbMuscle, [[ExploitedTrope except he's also acutely aware of it]] and takes advantage of others [[ObfuscatingStupidity once they start assuming he is]].
** Most Witchers you come across have the face of the thug. It comes with being quite hard to actually kill, yet working a job that has them waist deep in [[GoddamnBats drowners]], [[DemonicSpiders various wraiths]], and worse on a nearly constant basis. They may or may not be decent fellows, depending on the exact Witcher, but they've all got enough badass to back up their scars. They wouldn't be Witchers otherwise.
** Sigi Reuven aka [[spoiler: Sigismund Djikstra]] looks and sounds like a thug (and not even a badass action guy, just a fat, brutish bar-brawler,) but is actually the smartest crimelord of Novgorod and [[spoiler: former spymaster of Redania]].
* Mark Kimberly from ''VideoGame/{{Shenmue}}'' has a mean look about him, but is one of the friendliest ''gaijin'' Ryo can meet in Yokosuka. Mark's intimidating look has a lot to do with him [[WhatCouldHaveBeen originally being a member of the Mad Angels gang in pre-production]], but he was changed into a NiceGuy later on.
* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'':
** Grog from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' and ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'' is a rather pale and somber-looking young man who sits moping under a tree; in the latter game, he even has a spiky mohawk that makes him look like a typical punk. But under the seemingly grim exterior is a FriendToAllLivingThings; the ''Ocarina of Time'' version determines that Link must be a nice guy on account of the latter getting along with Grog's beloved pet Cucco, while the ''Majora's Mask'' version is able to soften his grimly fatalistic outlook on the imminent destruction of Termina by the Moon upon seeing his flock of Cucco chicks [[OvernightAgeUp grow into roosters before his eyes]].
** Batreaux from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword'' is a demon who looks the part, but he is actually a nice guy who gets along well with children and wants to become a human so he can interact with people without scaring them. Granted, he ''does'' unwillingly cause monsters to appear in Skyloft and make the Remlits aggressive because of his evil aura; making him human removes the aura and the enemies.
** Kilton from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'' is an ugly, grey-skinned man who wears makeup and clothes that make him look like the [[AdmiringTheAbomination monsters he obsesses over]] and owns a creepy shop called "Fang and Bone" that is only open at night. One guard character even requests that Link get a photo of Kilton to determine if the shopkeeper is really as sinister-looking as people have said. But Kilton is nonetheless a good guy who sells Link various items that help him kill monsters more easily.
** Due to the OffModel animation in its cutscenes, the ordinary citizens of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaCDiGames'' take this UpToEleven, looking scarier than even the villains of both games. In particular, Yokan first appears in an ExtremeCloseUp reminiscient of a ScreamerPrank, while Lika flashes a DeathGlare at Zelda that makes ''her'' look like one of the villains (or at least on serious drugs).
* Vandham from ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2''. He's a huge, scary-looking guy who is CoveredInScars (most notably an X-shaped scar covering his face centered on the bridge of his nose) and is introduced attacking Rex's team after their stranding in Uraya with the seeming intent to take Pyra for himself due to her being the Aegis (something that Torna and the Ardainians had been trying to do up to that point). But the fight turns out to be meant to gauge Rex's resonance with Pyra and see if he is truly worthy to be the Aegis's Driver (he even [[WhatTheHellHero chastises Rex]] for pushing her too hard), and Vandham soon afterwards happily invites them to rest at Garfont Village. Here, he's revealed to be the leader of the Garfont Mercenaries, a group dedicated to helping meet people's needs all across Alrest, and he's also known for taking in numerous war orphans of all nationalities to live in Garfont Village. For these and other reasons, he's known as a supreme NiceGuy in Uraya and AFatherToHisMen among his mercenaries. Rex and the others subsequently make plenty of comments about him being much kinder and gentler than his intimidating appearance would indicate.
** From the same game, Wulfric is a Blade who [[http://www.creativeuncut.com/gallery-32/art/xc2-wulfric.jpg looks like a demon spawned from hell itself,]] but is a friendly sort who likes to help people. He often howls in a scary fashion when he feels frustrated by peoples' reaction to his appearance, which, of course, only exacerbates the problem further. One [[ADayInTheLimelight Heart-to-Heart]] scene can result in him [[BlindAndTheBeast guiding an elderly lady with poor eyesight back to her house]], while the townspeople look on aghast; she, on the other hand, is quite happy to be helped by (what she assumes to be) such a strapping young man.
-->''One day, I will make friends with everyone!''
** Perceval is another [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/xenoblade/images/d/dc/XC2-Vasara.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20170922095202 demonic-looking]] Blade who also appears to be covered in flames, yet he is nonetheless a very compassionate and justice-oriented guy. His unique Blade Quest starts with him defending a woman who is being bullied by debt collectors and later sees him going on Merc Missions to hunt down not just those culprits but anyone who preys on the weak in a similar way.
* Pearl from ''VideoGame/Splatoon2'' is a rapper with a permanent glare who is usually seen frowning. Despite this, she's more nice, though overly energetic, than anything.
* ''VideoGame/UtawarerumonoMaskOfDeception'': Mikazuchi, Imperial Guard of the Left, usually terrifies everyone around him, and even the protagonist always feels like his life is in danger if Mikazuchi so much as looks at him. Actually, he is a pretty nice guy, he's just terrible at socializing and has a naturally intimidating presence. [[spoiler:In his disguise as Sakon the candy salesman he's much more approachable.]]
* [[ElderlyImmortal Octavian the Eagle]] of ''VideoGame/TheSecretWorld''; as if being taller and brawnier than just about every other human character in the game, he's got an [[{{Gonk}} immensely rough, craggy face]] CoveredInScars, with a heavy brow and [[LanternJawOfJustice a jawline like an entrenching tool]], and the fact that he never smiles only makes him seem even more intimidating. However, it turns out that Octavian has been a RetiredBadass for the last few hundred years, and actually refuses to get involved in any further conflicts, preferring instead to [[SeniorSleepCycle spend his days asleep on his couch]].
* Kiryu from ''VideoGame/{{Yakuza}}'' is a genuinely nice, helpful guy, but is also a former {{Yakuza}}, and people can often tell just by looking at his intimidating, [[PerpetualFrowner near-perpetually dour demeanor]].
* Kuro (last name Kiryuu, fittingly) of ''VideoGame/EnsembleStars'' used to be a delinquent and has the face and build of one. However, he gave up all of that to better take care of his younger sister, and while he looks intimidating, he's actually a very kind and helpful guy. He does have a bit of a complex about his face, though, insisting that IAmNotPretty and preferring to avoid interacting with the general public out of worry they'd be scared of him.
* Seika from '' VideoGame/MagiaRecordPuellaMagiMadokaMagicaSideStory'' is an example. Due to her social anxiety other people often mistakes Seika to be angry with them due to her face whenever she is anxious. She is painfully aware of this. In reality she is just your average good-hearted magical girl who does care for other people especially her closest friends Leila and Mitoto.
* Iron Bull from ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'' is huge and intimidating, and indeed a very fierce warrior. But anybody on his good side also knows him to be friendly and generally pretty easy to get along with.
