** ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019'': [[Characters/MonsterVerseAlanJonah Alan Jonah]], the movie's resident human BigBadWannabe, is a ruthless and utterly genocidal MisanthropeSupreme who is all too happy to engineer millions of global casualties in the name of his EcoTerrorist cause (and when that comes apart, [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist in the name]] [[ItsAllAboutMe of himself]]). However, the movie implies and the official {{novelization}} more explicitly confirms that Jonah genuinely cares about his MookLieutenant Asher. Jonah cries out in a rare show of raising his voice when Ash is killed in front of him, and the novelization explicitly shows that Ash is just about the only living person whom Jonah genuinely gives a damn about, and his death severs Jonah's last remaining link to humanity. The novel also states that Jonah had a daughter in his backstory, and her part in his life stalled Jonah's descent into darkness until her grizzly murder marked the turning point.

** Giovanni serves this role for Molly. No, not the other way around - Giovanni, despite his [[HighHopesZeroTalent aspiration to supervillainy]], is very much a NiceGuy, while Molly's ExtremeDoormat tendencies mask a [[BeneathTheMask steadily growing core of entirely justified rage at how she's treated]], and per WordOfGod, the main thing standing between Molly and violently snapping in a couple of years when the [[TripleShifter endless work]] she has to do to make up for the [[AllTakeAndNoGive selfishness and irresponsibility of her father and sister]] is the weirdo who calls his projectile attacks "lavacid grenades" because he inexplicably thinks that will stop people from realising they're just tomato basil soup.

* Vaggie from ''WebAnimation/HazbinHotel'' appears to dislike just about everyone in the room at any given time with the exception of her girlfriend, Charlie, who she is consistently nice and pleasant too.

* On the ''WebVideo/DreamSMP'', Technoblade is an [[BombThrowingAnarchists anarchistic]] BloodKnight who believes that UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans, but would drop everything on the spot for his OnlyFriend, Philza. Case in point, [[spoiler:when Techno was captured by the Butcher Army, one of his main concerns was Phil being held under house arrest by them rather than his own impending ''execution'']].

* [[RobotBuddy ED-E]] plays this role to [[VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas The Courier]] in ''WebVideo/CouriersMindRiseOfNewVegas''. The Courier can be quite a JerkAss (and who wouldn't be [[ButtMonkey with the kind of life he's leading?]]), but will typically do the right thing if ED-E bugs him about it.
* [[LoveInterest Penny]] and [[OnlyFriend Moist]] in ''WebVideo/DrHorriblesSingAlongBlog'' definitely acts as morality pets. Moist manages to invert this in one scene, where his suggestions for evil acts are [[EvenEvilHasStandards too overboard for Dr. Horrible.]]
