* Living [[ProfessionalWrestling pro wrestling]] legend Wrestling/RickySteamboat was born Richard Blood. Most wrestlers would kill to be able to use their birth name if it was [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast a name like]] ''[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast that]]'', but the reason he didn't was because of his career as a [[{{Face}} babyface]], and he became one of the most esteemed in the business.

* ''Stygimoloch spinifer'' means "spiky Moloch lizard from the river of death"! This is an outdated name for the dinosaur ''Pachycephalosaurus''. [[note]]Originally, the ''Stygimoloch'' fossils were thought to be a distinct but related genus, but are now considered to just be juveniles of the same species.[[/note]]

** In Season 4, the gang is plagued by Gachnar, a fear demon. Buffy is overzealous and breaks his giant symbol, freeing him to the revelation that he was only a couple of inches tall. After some cooing, Gachnar then gets squashed by the slayer's boot.

Here it comes. The Harbinger of Death, [[NameThatUnfoldsLikeLotusBlossom It Which Devours Your Soul]], YourWorstNightmare.

** Yay "Spookybot" Newfriend keeps two dogs, named [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos Azathoth]] and Mr. Smooches. According to Yay, "Azathoth is the real [[TheCuddlebug cuddle bug]] while Mr. Smooches is more reserved."

* On ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'', 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 Mockumentary ''WesternAnimation/MarchOfTheDinosaurs'' has its main protagonist be named Scar. Is he a giant, grizzled badass [[KingOfTheDinosaurs tyrannosaur]] or [[TemperCeratops ceratopsid]], or at least a badass adult who can hold his own? Nope, he's a cute little baby ''[[UsefulNotes/StockDinosaursOrnithischianDinosaurs Edmontosaurus]]'' who got his scar from a predator attack, and spends a good chunk of the movie being chased by or antagonized by the afromentioned dinosaurs.

* Vlad in the ''WesternAnimation/HortonHearsAWho'' movie. No, not Vlad Vladicoff the genuinely menacing vulture; Vlad the cute little bunny who bakes cookies.

* The Bandersnatch from the ''Film/{{Alice in Wonderland|2010}}'' movie turns out to be this, only to people and things it likes. To everything else, it's FluffyTheTerrible.

* You expect an artist whose name is Sankrit for "the hell where the worst sins are punished" to play death metal or black metal... Except Avicii played mostly cheerful Pop-EDM music.

--> '''Other bot:''' You're right, that ''is'' more feminine!\

* In ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'' there's an ordinary purple robot named Corpse Witch. Meanwhile her intimidating combat droid employee is named [[FluffyTheTerrible Bubbles]]. Of course, once you get past their physical appearances, the names aren't quite that unfitting after all. Corpse Witch is a manipulative SmugSnake who's involved in... less than legal ventures; meanwhile, although being a combat droid and former soldier prevents Bubbles from being all that bubbly, she's still pretty nice if you get to know her.

* In ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'', "Bloodfeast the Extreme-inator" started out as an apt name for a badass ''Allosaurus'', but in the very same strip where he's given a name, he's already been [[BalefulPolymorph turned into a harmless little lizard]]. That being said, due to the nature of the RPGMechanicsVerse, Bloodfeast still has the HP total of a full-grown ''Allosaurus'', so the trope can be considered subverted.

* You'd expect the covenant of Chaos Servants in ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsI'' to be at least BombThrowingAnarchists from that name alone, but no, they are just collecting humanities for their IllGirl leader, who happens to come from a family with deep ties to elemental Chaos (hence the name), but is likely the kindest and most selfless person in the entire game. "Collecting humanities", by the way, is best done by exterminating vermin in the Lordran sewers, so they might have just as well called themselves "[[HeroDoesPublicService Community Servants]]" in the first place.

** Even better, try ''Stygimoloch spinifer'', which means "spiky Moloch lizard from the river of death"! This is an outdated name for the dinosaur ''Pachycephalosaurus''. [[note]]Originally, the ''Stygimoloch'' fossils were thought to be a distinct but related genus, but are now considered to just be juveniles of the same species.[[/note]]

* ''Gigantiops destructor'' jumping ants are named "gigantiops" for their unusually large eyes, but the "destructor" part doesn't match at all. They imitate the appearance of the agressive ''Neoponera apicalis'' but are actually very docile to humans and can neither bite nor sting them.

* When ''Webcomic/EightBitTheater'''s Light Warriors had Drizzl surrounded and down for the count, Drizzl attempted to summon the "True Guardian" of the cave, which he had bought from ConMan Akbar based on its description as a fierce [[MixAndMatchCritters chimera]] with claws, fire breath, and potent venom. Drizzl discovers at the worst possible moment that the creature was just a platypus with a makeshift flamethrower strapped to its underbelly.

* ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'' 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.

* [[http://daegaer.livejournal.com/205042.html The fearsome Dwarf Tigers of Dour.]]
* In ''Fanfic/MyHuntsmanAcademia'', Team MNVW adopts a puppy that Nora names "Lulu-Bell, Lord of Thunder". Aside from the fact that the title is [[SheIsTheKing gender-inappropriate]], Lulu also has nothing to do with thunder. Because of this, everyone else just calls her Lulu.

* Strange variation: there's a song on one of the ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' soundtrack albums titled "[[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/walls-covered-in-blood-2 Walls Covered in Blood]]." Where the title might imply [[PaintTheTownRed a murderous rampage]], it's actually the {{leitmotif}} of {{moe}} {{catgirl}} Nepeta Leijon, whose bedroom walls are indeed covered in blood because [[ShipperOnDeck she uses it to draw charts shipping all her friends]], and the song itself is a [[TastesLikeDiabetes painfully cutesy]] upbeat ''VideoGame/MarioPaint'' track.

* ''WesternAnimation/PlanetSheen'': Boh-Rok, a rainbow-colored pony, was thought to be a destructive monster. [[spoiler:Sheen manages to remove a nose hair that was bothering Boh-Rok and it turns out that he isn't as evil as the aliens thought, but rather, [[TastesLikeDiabetes a cheerful, happy pony]].]]

* The Mockumentary ''WesternAnimation/MarchOfTheDinosaurs'' has its main protagonist be named Scar. Is he a giant, grizzled and badass tyrannosaur or ceratopsid? Nope, he's a cute little baby ''[[UsefulNotes/StockDinosaursOrnithischianDinosaurs Edmontosaurus]]'' who got his scar from a predator attack, and spends a good chunk of the movie being antagonized or even chased by the afromentioned dinosaurs.

* You expect an artist whose name is Sankrit for "the hell where the worst sins are punished" to play death metal or black metal... Except Music/Avicii played mostly cheerful Pop-EDM music.
