* ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStoneOcean'': The Speedwagon Foundation sent an envoy codenamed "Savage Garden" to help Jolyne deliver an item from the prison she's incarcerated in. This Savage Garden turns out to be a small, white messenger pigeon. Made even sillier in the English anime adaptation, where its name is changed to ''Savage Guardian''.

* ''Vampyroteuthis infernalis'' translates to the "vampire squid from hell". It's a harmless animal that eats plankton. It's also kinda ugly cute.

** Gorebyss's name immediately brings to mind "an abyss of gore," [[https://m.archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/3/37/368Gorebyss.png unless you know what it looks like]]. In all fairness though, it is "gorgeous," and does live in an "abyss", as in "the bottom of the sea". However, that's just a facade. It's actually very aggressive and hunts by [[MindRape Mind Raping]] its prey, shoving its extremely sharp mouth into their unconscious bodies, and sucking their fluids out. Yes it's beautiful, but the name fits.

* On ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'', main character King claims to have once been the most feared creature in the Underworld. In reality, he’s small, harmless, and considered absolutely adorable by pretty much everyone.

* The entire schtick of [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCamWjoOZB-4O9prcjLb0LUQ this]] YouTube channel, which features an UglyCute, snuggly, affectionate, adorable Sphynx cat named, of all things, The Dark Lord.

* Drake sounds like a name of a [[InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons draconic]] species, but it also means a male duck.

* ''WesternAnimation/RubyGloom'' has the Doom Kitty, an otherwise normal, if intelligent and expressive, black cat. Who meows like a violin.

* From ''Film/MuppetTreasureIsland'', the infamous pirate Big Fat Ugly Bug-faced Baby-eating O'Brien, is a rather attractive-looking young woman. With a ''[[VocalDissonance really deep]]'' voice...

* ''Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia'' has Chimamire Hana-Tamago (Bloodstained Flower-Egg), a cute, little, white doggie who gains the ability to talk during Christmas specials, in which she vehemently denies the "Chimamire" part and wishes that she had been named something nice like Charlotte.

* Doña Clotilde from ''Series/ElChavoDelOcho'' likes to adopt puppies and baptize them as "Satan" and "Lucifer". Her poor pets also have a tendency to run off, so she tries to bring them back by calling their names loudly. Add this to the fact that her neighbors doesn't always know she has a pet, and that the kids believe that she's a witch (often calling her "The Witch of apartment 71") and HilarityEnsues.

* ''Series/PersonOfInterest'' features an ArtificialIntelligence known simply as "The Machine". It's {{benevolent|AI}}, {{adorkable}}, [[AmbiguousGender and even apparently self-identifies as female]].

The polar opposite of FluffyTheTerrible. Suptrope to NonIndicativeName. Also compare to SealedEvilInATeddyBear. If it ''does'' have the destructive power despite the innocent appearance, it is a KillerRabbit. Still, it's a good idea to BewareTheNiceOnes.

* In ''Literature/{{Dinotopia}}: Journey to Chandara'', the emperor of Chandara has the imposing name of Hugo Khan. Turns out that he's a ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microraptor Microraptor]]'', which is one of the smallest dinosaurs known. Even the ''name'' of the dinosaur sounds puny.

* This trope is named after ''Webcomic/DanAndMabsFurryAdventures''[='s=] "[[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_372.php Deathbringer]]", an incredibly cute bubble-gum creature. While she picked out her own name, she has so far demonstrated absolutely no aggression nor offensive capabilities whatsoever. The four characters that know she exists also call her Deebs for short.
* ''[[Webcomic/FlintlockesGuideToAzeroth Flintlocke vs. The Horde]]'' has [[http://pc.gamespy.com/flintlocke-vs-the-horde/hares-and-heroines-/913756p1.html Bun'kar, the warrior bunny]]. Being a hunter's pet, it might become KillerRabbit later, though. While Bun'kar, the warrior bunny, never fights, he and his hunter manage to overpower at least three characters, one of which was significantly stronger. The healer (Doc) remarks "That rabbit was dynamite."

* In''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'', we have Pal’s friend, Killer. She’s actually pretty tame and doesn’t look scary at all.

Turns out, the creature in question is just a cute animal, with a [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast scary name]] but completely harmless. Upon further inquiry, you'll learn that it was named by a child, an idiot, a [[TheTrickster Trickster]] or some mix of all three, with smugness or [[BunnyEarsLawyer bunny ears]] as optional extras.
