* The Nomad from ''Fim/Hardware1990''. He shows up in exactly three scenes and has less than a handful of lines, but his presence is captivating. His sinister [[MalevolentMaskedMan gas mask]], MachineMonotone and BadassLongcoat certainly cement that.

* Two big ones from ''Manga/SamuraiDeeperKyo'':
** Kyo himself, at times. He's vicious, rarely shows anything resembling empathy (especially near the beginning), and his kills can be brutal. But he's also a badass among badasses, and his ImplausibleFencingPowers and [[DeadpanSnarker impressive snark]] make him highly entertaining.
** Hishigi. Being an EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette AntiVillain who remains [[TheStoic expressionless]] and [[BewareTheQuietOnes soft-spoken]] in nearly all situations, is [[EyesDoNotBelongThere covered in Devil Eyes]], and harbors a ''terrifying'' [[NotSoStoic vicious]] [[TranquilFury streak]] when [[BerserkButton provoked]], he's walking NightmareFuel. Add his [[DarkAndTroubledPast tragic backstory]], {{Determinator}} nature, [[spoiler:RasputinianDeath]], and swordsmanship so impressive that he can one-shot the main character despite [[HandicappedBadass severe deterioration of his body from the Death Disease]], and he's also a walking CMOA.

* Once again, The Skeksis from ''Series/TheDarkCrystalAgeOfResistance''. Special mention goes to [[BloodKnight SkekMal the Hunter]]. Being the only of his decadent kind to be [[BadassNormal physically active]] and poses a consistent threat to the heroes.

** Tsukiyama is a consummate predator that is introduced ripping a woman's eyes out and having them sauteed, before becoming a StalkerWithACrush utterly obsessed with eating Kaneki. His flamboyant behavior, amoral nature, and willingness to do anything for Kaneki make him very popular in the fandom.
** Eto is a beloved villain, partially because of her child-like and sinister actions. [[spoiler: Her One-Eyed Owl form is considered awesome partially because of how monstrous it is and how twisted her actions are while in that form]].

** Shinobu Kocho definitely qualifies as a [[CreepyGood heroic example]]. She's generally nice and pleasant, but has a certain DissonantSerenity attitude towards about everything (later revealed to be [[StepfordSmiler because of the death of her sister]]) and even acts cheerful towards demons, [[BewareTheNiceOnes right before brutally killing them with poison.]]

Added DiffLines:

* Emperor Belos from ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse''. Emperor Belos ''defines'' the trope. A terrifying masked figure whose throne room is adorned with a giant beating heart, who delivers a CurbStompBattle to everyone who tries to fight him. Where Belos really shows his stripes as a figure of horror, however, is "Hollow Mind"-- an episode that reveals that [[spoiler:he's an insane, manipulative WitchHunter driven by [[BlackAndWhiteInsanity an unshaken belief that all humans are good and all witches are evil]], and has twisted relationship with his deceased brother, simultaneously [[{{Yandere}} both loving and hating him]] by creating Grimwalkers like Hunter before executing them for failing to live up to his impossible expectations, and all accompanied by a brilliant SoftSpokenSadist delivery from Matthew Rhys]]. The sheer level of genuine horror and Macbeth-like tragedy of his character has gained him tons of praise for just how ''twisted'' he and his entire storyline are. Plus, the design of his monstrous form that lies underneath his human-like guise is well-received being genuinely terrifying and yet miserable looking monster.

* Dr. Septimus Pretorius from ''Film/BrideofFrankenstein''. Dr. Pretorius (Ernest Thesiger) is a CampGay MadScientist who grows tiny people in jars, does not so much tinker in God's domain as wage open war against him, dreams of creating a race of monsters and interrupts his grave robbing to hold cozy picnics with Frankenstein's monster in the crypt. To put it another way, this is a MadScientist who scares Dr. Frankenstein.

* ''VideoGame/SpookysJumpScareMansion'': The bad ending of this horror game has the protagonist become an ax wielding specimen. A fair amount of people actually liked this ending better than the basic good ending because of how badass the protagonist looked.
* ''Website/{{Neopets}}'': While most Darigan and Mutant pets are genuinely terrifying and others are CreepyCute, a good amount of them are seen as so cool that they become heavily sought after.
