* ''ComicBook/{{Venom}}'' has the Venom symbiote to be this as it is a sweet, kind, polite and nice alien being even though it does have awful social skills even when it is corrupted.

* ''Podcast/PokemonWorldTourUnited:'' The Pokemon Charmander is normally a cute little bipedal lizard and one of the first game's Starter Pokemon. Rose's Charmander, Pepper, is unusual in that he was bequeathed to her by the ghost of a dead Pokemon Trainer. As a result, Pepper is ''also'' dead, as indicated by the fact that it lacks the flame on its tail which is indicative of the Pokemon line's life force, is part Ghost-type when Charmander are normally pure Fire, floats in the air and tends to just vanish and reappear instead of physically moving, is described as having empty, sunken eyes, and speaks its PokemonSpeak in a CreepyMonotone. When Pepper evolves into Charmeleon in episode 24, it still manages this even though the GM Alan describes the evolution as going from CreepyCute to just plain creepy. Pepper affectionately holds Rose's hand and comforts Rose's Bulbasaur Sakura by booping her nose with his.

* For those who find BlackBeadEyes cute, {{Toy/Funko Pop}} figures can fall under this. Even characters like {{Film/Carrie}} and [[Literature/HarryPotter Voldemort]] tend to look rather endearing in Funko's chibi-esque art style. [[https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51QPeEB0YNL._AC_SY606_.jpg Voldemort]], in particular, has an almost confused expression and a shrugging pose that comes off as quite charming.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheMask'': Masked Dr Neuman is scary, psychotic, insane and terrifying but however he can act like he's a kid at times with him riding on a child bicycle, a book, a bouncy stick, has a high pitched voice that happens when he gets excited which though can make him scary but sometimes can make him very cute because of it, even pulls wedige straitjackets as well along with the fact that he has a polite nature as well.

* ''Film/Venom2018'': The Venom symbiote is violent, aggressive, likes eating people and has a scary sounding voice as well but however unlike Riot he does eventually end up caring about Eddie Brock his host despite at first he was using him to bring his kind to Earth and also ends up caring about Anne as well as it says at the end of the movie it's going to bring both Eddie and Anne together, the Venom symbiote is also very childlike and having a genuine cheerful nature as well as it tells Eddie that they should bite the heads off the people that went after them in the apartmen they were at and while bond with Anne it saves Eddie from the people that were going to kill him and after it decides to kiss him as a way of transfering back to him even though there were other ways which shows Venom loves Eddie very much which makes it a very adorable alien creature even though it can be creepy and violent at times.

* Kukuru from ''{{Manga/Joshiraku}}'' is this during her more sane moments.

* Either Russia or Belarus from ''Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia'', depending on the fans you're talking to.

* The ''Toys/{{Lalaloopsy}} dolls wouldn't look too out of place in a horror story like ''Literature/{{Coraline}}'' with their button eyes and stitched smiles, yet their innocent behaviors and bright colors do give off a nice appeal to a lot of people who aren't too scared.

*** The Big Finish audio drama Jubilee BRUTALLY deconstructs this tropes with regards to the Daleks by emphasising the "creepy" part and reminding us that, at the end of the day, they ''are'' actually [[ThoseWackyNazis ''Space Nazis'']], even LeaningOnTheFourthWall to criticise [[YouBastard the listener]], [[BitingTheHandHumour the franchise]], [[HumansAreBastards and humanity as a whole]] for the commercialisation, minimisation, and sensationalisation of UsefulNotes/{{Fascism}}. The episode Dalek, loosely adapted from this audio, does this too, albeit to a much lesser degree, by emphasising how deadly even the cute parts can be (for instance, the infamous sink plunger attachment can crush a human skull).

But, creepycute characters don't have to look creepy or cute in order to be creepycute, they can also have creepy personalities and habits that add to the creepycuteness.

* [[SoulPower Ghost-types]] from ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' are supposed to be scary or at least unsettling in-universe, but a lot of the unevolved forms appear to be {{Ridiculously Cute Critter}}s. Such examples include Misdreavus, Shuppet, Duskull, Drifloon, Litwick, Phantump and Pumpkaboo.

* ''All'' of the characters from Webvideo/DontHugMeImScared were obvious meant as parodies of the [[AccidentalNightmareFuel unintentionally creepy]] puppets often used in children's media, yet to many fans they have a strange charm to them.

** Young, pre-supervillainy Ed Nygma. On the one hand, eccentrically {{adorkable}} and reasonably good-looking in a [[CuteGlassesBoy nerdy sort of way]]. On the other hand, even before his SanitySlippage he's a NightmareFetishist with boundary issues.

* [[CreepyChild The]] [[CryingLittleKid Witch]] from ''VideoGame/Left4Dead'', who was intended as the scariest zombie of them all, but receives a lot of love and fanart from the base.
