** Pinkie Pie's straight-haired, unstable, alter ego (dubbed "Pinkamena" by fans) is as huggable as she is disturbing. It helps that she's TheWoobie by nature, since Pinkie only turns into her when she's very depressed.

* In [[VideoGame/TRIOfFriendshipAndMadness TRI: Of Friendship and Madness]], you'll almost never run into another living creature within the Odd Gods' World - well, until you get to the ''Prisons'' chapter. Lurking inside breakable pots in a single room are little four-legged 'Eye Bug' creatures which might be startling to some - they resemble spiders, and as their name suggests, have one big eye in the center of their head. They're actually harmless, and you'll have to make use of them to solve a puzzle.

** The De Famme twins in ''SoJ,'' especially the "evil" one.

* Manga/BlackLagoon: Frederica Sawyer gets hired to brutally execute people with her chainsaw, which she does without remorse. She dresses like a surgeon at work and covers her face with a mask and goggles. She has empty eyes and got her throat slit, resulting in a huge scar. She can't speak anymore and uses a voice box that emits a robotic, monotone voice. She also has scars on her wrists, suggesting she practices self-harm. However, she is a goth girl and blushes when she becomes the center of attention. She drops into the fetal position if she loses her voice box, ignoring everyone and everything around her, which can invoke pity in viewers.

* Frederica Sawyer from Manga/BlackLagoon is a cleaner who is hired to brutally execute people with her chainsaw, which she does without remorse. When she is at work, she dresses like a surgeon and covers her face with a mask and goggles. She has {{empty eyes}} and a huge scar on her throat because it was slit in the past. As a result, she can't speak anymore and uses a voice box which emits a robotic, monotone voice. She also has scars on her wrists, suggesting she practices self-harm.

She is emotionally unstable and drops into fetal position if she loses her voice box, ignoring everyone and everything around her, which can be seen as creepy but also invokes pity in viewers.

* Pretty much all of the [[CreepyChild SCP children]] from the ''Wiki/SCPFoundation'', such as [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-053 SCP-053,]] [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-239 SCP-239]] and [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-134 SCP-134.]]

* Shouko from ''LightNovel/BakaAndTestSummonTheBeasts''. Her crush on Yuuji and her ways [[AbhorrentAdmirer to come on to him]] is downright creepy, but you can't deny that she is pretty cute.

** ''Oswald Cobblepot''. He's small (and his slight stature is often emphasized next to other characters), kind of awkward, quite affectionate towards his loved ones, and has a big teary smile coupled with wide green eyes that make him appear very nearly childlike at times. He's also a psycho mob boss prone to screeching rage at the blink of an eye who has stabbed a man to death with a garden trowel before, and will happily murder people with a smile on his face.
*** {{Exaggerated|Trope}} when they form a VillainousFriendship. They genuinely care for each other and their relationship is full of PetTheDog moments for both of them, but then they're also weirdly obsessed with each other and murder people as a bonding activity.

* The Virginia Opossum. Their bald, rodent-like tail, jagged teeth,, scraggly fur and BlackBeadEyes set into a long, eerie white face give them the appearance a big mutant rat. They're also very docile, almost completely harmless (their main defense is to play dead and hope you'll go away), and extremely resistant to rabies. They can also look much less creepy with their puffy winter coat.

* River Tam of ''Series/{{Firefly}}'', the [[MysteriousWaif tiny]], cute, [[BarefootLoon barefoot]] IllGirl, who randomly blabs creepy stuff, cases in point:

** Shino Aburame; like all the Aburame, his body is a hive for mutualistic beetles, but he's one of the good guys and sulks when people forget him. Taken UpToEleven in fan-works.

** Curtis and Erik. Despite being cannibalistic and the former is a werewolf and sometimes reanimate the dead, the two are fun-loving [[PerkyGoth Perky Goths]], and it's adorable.

* [[ADogNamedDog Dog]] from Series/GoodOmens2019. Looks like an innocent and adorable little pup, but he’s actually a hellhound disguised as one owned by Adam, the son of Satan.

-->'''Selina''': Let's go. Don't turn around!
-->'''Bruce''': Why? She's just a little girl.
-->'''Selina''': She's creepy!

* ''RolePlay/TheDoomyAdventuresOfIrkenDoominess'': has two psychopathic female Irkens named Gar and Melissa who are insanely creepy, yet quite adorable.

* For those who find BlackBeadEyes cute, {{Toys/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.

* Flandre Scarlet from ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'', who is a cute girl with crystalline wings, and also a mentally unstable vampire and a PersonOfMassDestruction who has a high chance of blowing you to smithereens ''without even trying''.

* In [[{{Videogame/TRIOfFriendshipAndMadness}} TRI: Of Friendship and Madness]], you'll almost never run into another living creature within the Odd Gods' World - well, until you get to the ''Prisons'' chapter.

They're actually harmless, and you'll have to make use of them to solve a puzzle.

* The antagonists of ''Videogame/OneNightAtFlumptys'' tend to be rather silly and adorable when roaming around the building, and [[NightmareFace not drastically changing their face when attacking you]]. Special mention goes to Flumpty, who even does a mocking "peekaboo" before draining your exposure meter in the sequel.
* The Little Sisters from ''Videogame/BioShock'' are five year old little girls in cute dresses who just want to run around and play. They also have glowing eyes, have not had a bath in quite a while, and drink blood from corpses. The Little Sisters and their protectors (the Big Daddies, specifically the Bouncer type) are the SeriesMascot.

* This trope is a staple of [[Webcomic/BloodyUrban Bloody Urban's]] art style- most of the monster characters are fairly silly-looking while still retaining their spookiness.

* ''All'' of the characters from Webvideo/DontHugMeImScared were obviously 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.

* Sphynx Cats, the Canadian-native hairless felines may look like Voldemort in cat form. But they are some the most affectionate cats to own, tending to them can be timely due to their lack of fur. But like many cat species, they have their quirky moment.s

* Also from Zelda, the Great Fairy Queen from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'' is a CreepyChild with empty eyes, holding an equally CreepyDoll as a disjointed, uncanny variation of the Great Fairy theme plays in the background. That being said, she's nothing but friendly and helpful to Link.

* Boos of the ''[[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]]'' series. They're roundish little {{Bedsheet Ghost}}s with a mouthful of fangs and beady eyes. They also stick their tongues out like {{Bratty Half Pint}}s, and let out a hilariously high-pitched cackle when they spot you.

* The developer of the visual novel ''Love At First Sight'' has actually chosen the name Creepy Cute. In fact the love interest from this game can be also considered that, being a {{Cyclops}}... but this is mostly a gimmick because it's a very standard romance. The art style of the whole game is also creepy but cute according to several gamers.

* ''WebAnimation/HazbinHotel'': The main characters like Charlie and Alastor have forms that tend to be nightmarish and terrifying but Charlie is a cute, adorable, and nice girl while Alastor is polite, friendly, and has a sense of honour as he keeps his word to make the hotel clean and tidy even if his reason for doing it is less sincere.
