The trope's name is a play on the iconic {{Catchphrase}} from UsefulNotes/KentuckyFriedChicken: ''"It's Finger Lickin' Good!"''

* The ''LightNovel/TrinityBlood'' manga has a relatively rare heroic male example: We have Abel Nightroad [[SuperpoweredEvilSide helpfully reminding us just how scary the world would be given the existence of [[FoodChainOfEvil vampires that feed on vampires]].

* Nao from ''Anime/MyHime'' -- check the page pic. Whether she's evil is up for debate, but at minimum she's an AntiHero and she certainly plays the part.

* In ''Roleplay/TheGamersAlliance'', [[DemonLordsAndArchdevils Vaetris]] and her succubi minions from the [[HornyDevils Eastern Horde]] tend to lick their fingers clean of the blood of their enemies after battle.

* Another male example would be the title character of Inuyasha, who uses his claws as his main form of attack until acquiring his ''{{BFS}}''.

** Yoshikage Kira, the [[BigBad Big Bad]] of part 4, licks not his fingers, but the fingers on a dead hand he cut off. He's comfortable with this, probably because he has a hand fetish.

* Sarah from the ''Comicbook/{{Witchblade}}'' comics sometimes does this.

* Lady Deathstrike has extendable adamantium fingernails (originally she was just an insane swordswoman from ''Comicbook/{{Daredevil}}'', now better known as a foe of the ComicBook/XMen, and Wolverine in particular) and occasionally licks them.

* In the ''Anime/MaiHime'' fan fic ''The Sword of the Lord'', Nao, who has since become a TheAtoner AntiHero, resists the temptation to lick her Element, because "[[LampshadeHanging That's supervillian behavior and it gets your ass kicked]]".

* Nao from ''Anime/MaiHime''. (Whether she's evil is up for debate, but she certainly plays the part.)

* ''Fanfic/WhatChapter372OfFairyTailShouldHaveBeen'' features Erza licking the blood from her fingers as she tortured Kyouka, and gloating about enjoying the taste.

* In ''[[Literature/SwordOfTruth Wizard's First Rule]]'', BigBad Darken Rahl has a few tics, among them licking his fingertips and running them over his lips and eyebrows, stemming from his being burned by Wizard's Fire when he was a boy and wanting to do that to the burns. He does that to the scars from these burns as well, when they are not covered by clothing.

* In both the ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'' game and comic, Sniper Wolf gashes Snake's face with her nails to symbolise that he's her "special prey". In the comic, she licks her fingers. It looks cool as hell until the plot explains to you that the reason the QuirkyMinibossSquad is so worried about Snake is that he's carrying ''a deadly virus in his bloodstream''. Though [[spoiler: considering she's a DeathSeeker]] it makes sense.

* From ''Roleplay/{{AJCO}}'': Frances licks her robo-claws clean of [[spoiler: Cain's]] blood after she nearly rips him apart. It's as disgusting as it sounds.

[[DarkActionGirl Evil girls]] (generally {{cat girl}}s or {{dark magical girl}}s) are frequently armed with [[FemmeFatalons razor-sharp fingernails]] or claws as their primary melee weapon. If such is the case, her trademark gesture is to lick her claws in a cat-like fashion with a sinister grin on her face, sometimes after drawing blood with them.
