-->--'''Myra''', '''''MythicalDetectiveLokiRagnarok'''''

* In a HalloweenEpisode of ''FamilyMatters,'' there was an evil puppet-Steve named Stevil who wanted to steal TheUrkel's soul. ''Next'' year, Stevil returned, with a new one based on Carl... named [[IncrediblyLamePun Carlsbad]].

* "The Talons of Weng-Chiang," a classic ''DoctorWho'' story, had an awesomely evil puppet controlled by Magnus Greel.

* "Little Me" in {{Coraline}} is [[spoiler:[[ParanoiaFuel controlled by the Other Mother, who can see through its button eyes. Also, it can move around the house and change appearance when no one's looking.]]]] Sweet dreams.

* {{Fablehaven}}'s first book has Mendigo, a human sized lumberjack animated by the power of a demon working for the villain. [[spoiler: However during the second book when he is released again some faeries change his loyalty to the heroes.]]

* ''SuperMarioRPG'' features two perverse puppets as regular enemies: Remo Con in Booster's Tower and Puppox in Smithy's Factory. But it also subverts the trope by having Geno, a celestial being animating the body of a child's toy, as one of the heroes in your party.

!!Examples

** It's interesting to note that [[MonsterClown Quacker]][[CloudCuckoolander jack]] failed to realize that Mr. Banana Brain was possessed.

** And the doll Funzo, which destroys other toys. (It was programmed to do that however, and has no will of its own.)
* In the ''KimPossible'' movie 'So The Drama' Drakken's take over the world plot involves mass marketing tiny toy puppets called Diablo's who turn into gigantic killing robots. There's a hilariously bizarre scene at the end when they are stopped and revert back to their (arguably) cute puppet selves where a young girl who had just been menaced by one grabs the puppet joyfully as her mother looks on with disbelief.
