* The Croccos from ''ThePhantom'' wear loincloths (and are either a SingleGenderSpecies or an aversion of NonMammalMammaries), but since they live in the ocean . . . where do they get them?

* HellBoy wears little more than a long coat and brown underwear with a UtilityBelt.

Sometimes, if a person is transforming into a monster, they may have MagicPants, invoking this trope. Often overlaps with WalkingShirtlessScene. This [[DoubleStandard rarely happens to female monsters.]] If it does, expect it to have at least a little FanService along with it.

Monsters are fun. It doesn't matter if it's a demon, genetic freak, lab accident, or just some kind of alien that happens to look really monstrous. Whatever the case may be, the creators want to show off this monster in all of his or her glory. This means, they will wear as little as possible. Of course, they want to avoid NonhumansLackAttributes for whatever reason. What do they do instead? Why, they'll slap on a loincloth, pair of underwear or maybe just some pants. The monsters in these situations are almost always sentient but decide to just run around in underpants, rarely with anyone saying anything.

* The Beast from {{XMen}} is another fine example. He started off looking reasonably normal. During this time, he was covered up almost completely. Once he turned into a furry monster, he stripped down to underwear. This is especially odd since the character is a very educated, polite individual who would normally be the type to dress in a dignified manner.

* The Abosrbing Man from {{Thor}} can morph his body into anything he touches (if he touches steel, then his body turns to steel). For whatever reason, he often goes shirtless.

* Marrina from AlphaFlight and Namorita from NewWarriors are both FishPeople who where {{Stripperific}} bikinis.

* From DC, [[http://namtab.com/jla/254batman.gif most]] [[http://www.lobobrasil.com.br/imagens/enciclopedia/versus_despero.jpg versions]] of [[http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/0/229/96075-25506-despero_super.png Despero]].

** In fact, many characters on that team had pretty {{Stripperiffic}} costumes. They were all aliens, genetic creations, or otherwise metahuman.

* Pip the Troll from MarvelComics usually just wore a loincloth: attire usually suited for savages.

This becomes really inexplicable when you have a ReluctantMonster character who is horrified by the way he looks. One would think he would want to cover up, but he doesn't.

* Pip the Troll from MarvelComics usually just wore a loincloth: attire usually suited for savages.

* HellBoy wears little more than a long coat and brown underwear with a UtilityBelt.

* During MarvelComics' monster-era, many of the monsters would wear a pair of underpants. They ranged from giant space dragons such as ''Fin Fang Foom'' to radioactive creations.
* HellBoy wears little more than a long coat and brown underwear with a UtilityBelt.
* Fin Fang Foom, a giant alien dragon that is from such an advanced race that... they are apparently okay with walking around in underwear.
