** The Dynamax phenomenon introduced in ''VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield'' means that ''any'' RidiculouslyCuteCritter Pokémon can become this. Of particular note are [[http://cdn2.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/6/6b/025Pikachu-Gigantamax.png/800px-025Pikachu-Gigantamax.png Gigantamax Pikachu]], which evokes Pikachu's [[https://m.archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/0/03/025Pikachu_RG.png earlier design]] but is somehow even chubbier, and [[http://cdn2.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/2/2e/133Eevee-Gigantamax.png/800px-133Eevee-Gigantamax.png Gigantamax Eevee]], with longer ears, a permanently cheeky facial expression, a far more playful personality, and ''tons'' of fluff around its neck.

* ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'': We have [[NationsAsPeople Russia]] [[AnthropomorphicPersonification personified]] as a [[HuskyRusskie buff and strong 6-foot-tall man]], who is also quite baby-faced and has the [[ManChild mentality of a child]]. [[PsychopathicManchild A very cruel, manipulative, creepy child]]... [[CuteAndPsycho but still adorable]].

* Mana Emiya from ''Manga/SuperDreadnoughtGirl4946''.

** Princess Shirahoshi, an attractive mermaid girl who's about as big as a ship. (That her mother was the size of an ordinary human raises some... interesting questions.)

* Kyaa from ''Manga/PleaseSaveMyEarth''.

[[PsychopathicManchild A very cruel, manipulative, creepy child]]...[[CreepyCute but still adorable]].

* Tio from ''Manga/MonsterMusume'' is a 227cm (7'4") tower of a girl who works for an extraspecies SWAT Team. She goes full on GenkiGirl at the sight of anything cute, acts as the full on [[TheHeart heart]] of the team thanks to her warming presence, and in general has one of the cheeriest, kindest, and sweetest personalities in the entire series, even managing to make the most obstinate or well prepared characters like Kii and Polt melt like butter absolutely effortlessly in front of her.
* Makoto Kino (AKA: Sailor Jupiter) from ''Anime/SailorMoon'' is [[HugeSchoolgirl the biggest of the Inner Guardians at 5'6 (168cm)]] as well as the toughest. She is also a very sweet and adorable individual who fawns over boys, chases butterflies, loves cooking and gardening. She wants to own a flower shop and bakery one day.

* A lot of the float balloons in the Macy's holiday parades.
* Many animals in real life:
** Bears. Why else would they be so commonly [[BearyFunny portrayed as]] [[BearyFriendly endearing]] and have the most popular form of plush toy based on them? Of course, this is easily {{subverted|Trope}} [[BearsAreBadNews from time to time]].
** [[BigFriendlyDog Some breeds of domestic dog]]. (St. Bernards, for example, are rather large while still remaining endearing.)
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDW2ZYbZTHY This]] rabbit, which comes from a species known as the Grey German Giant.
** Giant Tortoises. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdckqUnOGwY Just look at this tortoise having his neck scratched!]] Heck, even sea turtles are some of the gentlest animals you can come across in real life.
** Whales. [[http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2009/03/090304-newborn-baby-blue-whale-missions.html Baby blue whales!]]
** Orangutans. Their deep brown eyes, intelligence and gentle demeanor make them incredibly endearing.
** Dolphins. Nearly all of them have this huge dopey smile plastered on their face. It's this, along with their quick learning that makes them the star of Aquarium shows.
** Horses. They're like giant puppies that usually weigh around 1,200 pounds.
** Cats are usually considered pretty cute to begin with, but many of the largest breeds (like Maine Coons and Ragdolls) tend to also be among the very sweetest.
** Capybaras, the [[RodentOfUnusualSize largest living rodents.]] They're basically giant semi-aquatic guinea pigs, even making similar chirping noises when pleased.
** Elephants. They're the largest land animals on Earth and also among the most [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge dangerous]], yet their [[GagNose long trunks]], intelligence and stocky builds make them extremely endearing.
** Cows! Massive beasts with soft, round features and sleepy-looking eyes that spend days serenely grazing pastures. The Ancient Greeks would even describe a cute and beautiful woman as "cow-eyed."
** Giraffes. They're the tallest living land animals, and their long necks, spots and adorable faces make them look almost cartoonish in nature.
** The Hippopotamus is often grouped into this category (and occasionally into UglyCute) but is actually among the most aggressive and lethal of all animals, despite being herbivorous.
