* ''Webcomic/CampCounselorJason'': Famed slasher villain [[Franchise/FridayThe13th Jason Voorhees]] is reimagined as a hulking yet kind camp counselor in this comic. Sure, he's still prone to scare people (albeit unintentionally) and [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength often forgets how strong he is]] but he has no murderous bone in his body and all he wants is to pet animals and make everyone feel safe and happy as he can.

* ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'': Elliott is huge, muscular, and works as a bouncer... but he hates having to bounce anyone (he can definitely do it, though). Beyond that, he's very anxious, is compulsively considerate, is passionately devoted to the craft of breadmaking, wouldn't hurt a fly, and has crushes on two of the other characters for ''years'' (at least in real time) before he works up the nerve to do anything about it. It's implied that some of this may be [[TheAtoner atonement]] for having hung around with/tolerated [[JerkJock Jerk Jocks]] in high school.

* ''Webcomic/BobAndGeorge'': Nate and Chadling are devils in the vein of the Yellow Devil from the ''VideoGame/MegaManClassic'' series (Nate is actually yellow, while Chadling is purple), taking the form of a giant demon or changeable size in battle while actually being nice guys (especially Nate).
* ''Webcomic/BronzeSkinInc'' Some giantesses fall in this trope, but not all!
* ''Webcomic/CurseQuest'': Mogarth, when not in battle, is very much this. In his first conversation with Walrus and Requiem he zoned out and acted like a dork.
* ''Webcomic/DaughterOfTheLilies'': The mercenary leader Orrig is this. He's a scary looking orc berserker, but a perfectly nice employer who considers it his job to take care of his employees. Ironically, he is way more mature and sensible than the half-orc and the ''elf'' in his team, both of whom have short tempers and are prone to violent outbursts.
* ''Webcomic/{{EVIL}}'': Kahn is easily the biggest and strongest character, but also the nicest.
%%* ''Webcomic/TheDreamlandChornicles'': The rock giant Paddington Rumblebottom the Third.
%%* ''Webcomic/DriveDaveKellet'': Veetans are usually this.
* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'':
** Justin, from Rhoda's point of view. She's normally scared of people bigger than her (and his 6' to her 5' is quite a difference), but also knows that he's friends with Nanase, and that Nanase wouldn't be friends with anyone bad.
** Greg is 6'10 and a martial arts master, but he has never been shown to be violent.
* ''Webcomic/FauxPas'': A giant by comparison to his companions, the Wallaroo Brisbane is one of the most laid-back characters of the strip.
* ''Webcomic/{{Freefall}}'': Sawtooth Rivergrinder is a construction droid who's very laid back most of the time, but gets a bit incensed when robots try to disassemble other robots. Not overly cautious about damaging buildings, although this is probably because, as a construction droid, he can repair most of the damage he'd be likely to do.
* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'': Adam (also known as Punch) is a mute FrankensteinsMonster style creature, often depicted as a lumbering moron in plays and stories. People who know him however describe him as a wise and gentle soul who spent his spare time making toys for orphan children.
* ''Webcomic/{{Glorianna}}'': Gith the bodyguard is a scary-looking brute, but turns out to be kind and friendly, if a bit shy.
* ''Webcomic/{{Goud}}'': Vincent is a massive ex-soldier with a heart of gold and a face like dog meat.
* ''Webcomic/HereUAre'': Li Huan stands at 196 cm at age 18, is pretty docile and quiet young man unless someone decided to mess with Yu Yang.
* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'':
** [[BlueBlood Equius]] is one of the strongest of trolls on Alternia. Even gently patting his beloved lusus -- one of the strongest creatures on his planet -- will leave a bruise. While he has a racist attitude, Equius speaks in a polite, formal tone and loves his moirail Nepeta (a CuteBruiser) more than anyone else. It's interesting to note that he is also one of the less violent trolls, and only spars with his robots.
** Gamzee is this before his freakout. A stoner LoveFreak who by himself did more damage to the Black King than anyone else on his team with the exception of the [[PhysicalGod God-Tier]] Vriska. He's also commonly depicted as the tallest of the trolls in fanart as no one has a canon length.
%%* ''Webcomic/ImpureBlood'': Roan.
%%* ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob'': Roofus the robot, Rocko Sasquatch, and Goona.
* ''Webcomic/ManlyGuysDoingManlyThings'': Mr. Fish is even bigger and stronger than the average Gyarados thanks to Jared feeding him well, but he's as docile as a well-trained dog. Though he does still make occasional attempts to eat other Pokemon.
* ''Webcomic/{{Morphe}}'': Malloy has a sprite so tall that it almost breaks the top of the frame and he certainly looks like he could hold himself well in brawl. Despite his imposing structure he is the only member of the cast to take pity on Asia for her inability to cast magic and actually plays a fatherly role to her, trying to get her adjusted to her new environment.
* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'': The "Monster in the Darkness" is a gentle giant played straight. Terribly powerful and scary, but turns out to be a nice guy. When challenged to a game of "hit the other person as lightly as you can", it earnestly tries (not realizing that its opponent was only trying to hit it with her sword)... and loses. How he loses? He hits his opponent and her horse ''straight through a stone wall and several hundred feet away''.
* ''Webcomic/{{Outsider}}'': The Barsam average 2.3 meters in height and are built like grizzly bears with horned faces, but are a peaceful and aesthetic race who routinely engage in missionary work and value peace, cooperation and brotherhood above all other things.
* ''WebComic/PrincessPrincess'': The ogre is big and fearsome looking. He destroyed a village, but it was accidental. Actually he just wants to dance!
%%* ''Webcomic/RubysWorld'' : Ruby keeps her kind nature after her transformation (unless [[BewareTheNiceOnes provoked]]).
* ''Webcomic/ScandinaviaAndTheWorld'': Norway is the largest of the Nordics, by a margin of at least half a head, but has the mellowest personality and is so in tune with nature that he can get butterflies to land on his finger.
* ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'': There exist flying tanks and low-profile armor that turns even the smallest grunt into a FlyingBrick, size isn't as important as one might think. Nonetheless, there are examples:
** Corporal Elizabeth, a gorilla like alien about the size of an elephant, is usually depicted as one of the kinder souls among her peers, and has been described as "like a kitten, really." Of course, when it comes time to fight, she knows how to throw her weight around at least as well as anyone else, even when it's just her fists against foes with firearms and PowerArmor.
** Burt Nicholson, even without armor, is the size of a shed and can safely deliver a punch that would shatter every bone in a 21st-century boxer's arm. [[HeroicComedicSociopath He's also one]] [[SociopathicHero of the few]] unambiguously ''good'' people in the entire series, is well-meaning and loyal, and once [[DivingSave dove off a platform]] to rescue a falling enemy spy who'd been playing him like a cheap record up to that point, simply because she'd been rendered unconscious and couldn't save herself.
** Jeffy "Brad" Bradley started out relatively scrawny, but a chain of events involving his own decapitation revealed that without deliberate stunting he would turn into the eight-foot mountain of muscle he spent the rest of his time as, but he never really lost the respectful habits he developed while smaller than a house. [[spoiler:His eventual death comes about when he blows up a crashing tank with improvised explosives rather than risk it crashing into a place it could inflict serious damage, hurling him out to freefall into the side of a building without functional armour.]]
%%* ''Webcomic/{{Thespiphobia}}'': Rich is usually this (''usually''). [[BerserkButton Mess]] [[BewareTheNiceOnes with]] [[PapaWolf his]] [[TrueCompanions friends]], [[OhCrap however]]...%%ZCE. Explain how he's a giant and how he's gentle.
* ''Webcomic/{{Unsounded}}'': Uaid, a [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot giant enchanted frog-man-cyborg]] He,[[http://www.casualvillain.com/Unsounded/comic/ch03/ch03_13.html sorrowfully regrets]] destroying the home of some squirrels, and then he [[SubvertedTrope eats them]], [[DoubleSubversion and then they fall out of his chest unharmed]]. He's generally very non-confrontational, but threatening Matty turns out to be quite the BerserkButton for him.
* ''Webcomic/{{Scurry}}'': Umf the rat. The mice accept him as a member of their colony mostly due to his gentle, affable nature, despite being huge even by rat standards.
* ''Webcomic/SlightlyDamned'': [[FullBoarAction Sahne]] is a mixture of this and BigFun. Unlike [[TheBrute most Earth demons]] in the story, she's a kind, fun-loving demon who easily makes friends with the main protagonists and [[spoiler: [[DefectingForLove defected from Hell]]]] so she could start a family with an angel woman named Kinako and a water demon named Lakritz. She also positively ''adores'' her stepson, Tirol (Kinako's [[CuteMute mute]] son).
* ''Webcomic/SkinHorse'': In the "Unsinkable" storyline, [[spoiler:Rhodey the {{Sea Serpent|s}}]] turns out to be this. [[spoiler: It seems to be in battle with the setting's superhero team, but it's only defending itself, and it turns out AG-I waited until the nationwide WeirdnessCensor kicked in before attacking it because otherwise the nearby town would have been ''horrified'' that someone was trying to take out their beloved town mascot]].
* ''Webcomic/TheWorldInDeeperInspection'': Bronx is significantly taller and broader than the rest of the main cast, but he has a very laid-back attitude and is an enthusiastic cat-lover.
* ''Webcomic/SuitorArmor'': The protagonist Lucia is falling for a suit of AnimatedArmor that is protecting her. Modeus has a rather frightening appearance, but is very gentle ''unless you threaten Lucia'', in which case he turns lethal very quickly.
* ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'': Elliott is huge, muscular, and works as a bouncer... but he hates having to bounce anyone (he can definitely do it, though). Beyond that, he's very anxious, is compulsively considerate, is passionately devoted to the craft of breadmaking, wouldn't hurt a fly, and has crushes on two of the other characters for ''years'' (at least in real time) before he works up the nerve to do anything about it. It's implied that some of this may be [[TheAtoner atonement]] for having hung around with/tolerated [[JerkJock Jerk Jocks]] in high school.
