* Zombie Godzilla in the webcomic ''Webcomic/{{Megatokyo}}'' that is shrunk and kept as a pet.

* ''Videogame/HalfLife2'' has Lamar, a debeaked [[GoddamnBats headcrab]].

** The Stark children each get a direwolf pup that is soon capable of ripping out throats. Robb even becomes infamous among his enemies for taking his into battle. Fortunately, the wolves [[UndyingLoyalty are very loyal to their masters and family]] and generally [[NobleWolf don't attack]] without good reason. They do become aggressive if [[EvilDetectingDog there really is a good reason]], but their owners tend to ignore these warnings.

** The Stark children and their bastard half-brother Jon Snow each get a dire wolf pup, which quickly become capable of tearing out throats, although they're very loyal to their master and generally don't attack people unless they're a threat, with the exception of [[FluffyTheTerrible Shaggydog]], who is extremely vicious and feral.
** Danaerys has three dragons that hatched from petrified eggs. They grow fast and soon begin to terrify even her because she can't tame them completely. They were thought to be extinct and she doesn't know how to train them properly.

* Stitch from ''Disney/LiloAndStitch'', who is actually supposed to be one of the most dangerous alien experiments created by Dr. Jumba Jookiba.
* Toothless from ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon''. Despite his name, Toothless actually ''does'' have teeth. Retractable ones.
%% * WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'': Puffy Fluffy. ''Oh sweet lord''... PUFFY FLUFFY.

* [[MythologyGag Referenced]] in ''WesternAnimation/LegionOfSuperheroes'' with Drax's PhantomZone pets, which look like two larger versions of the same creature, but ''with full Kryptonian powers''.

* Muffet of ''VideoGame/Undertale'' has a pet giant, freakish spider/cupcake fusion with a voracious appetite, which seems appropriate given her love for her fellow spiders and for baking.

* ''VisualNovel/DeusMachinaDemonbane'': Al Azif keeps a freaking ''shoggoth'' as a pet. Its name is Dunsany, and she primarily uses it as a water bed. The fact that she can call upon the powers of the [[EldritchAbomination Great Old Ones]] probably goes a long way toward explaining why it never rebels.

* In ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'', Bizarro gets a horrifying three-mouthed beast as a pet, which bites him constantly. Of course, being an [[GoneHorriblyWrong imperfect clone]] of Superman, it [[NighInvulnerable can't hurt him]] and is in fact amused by its attempts, and he treats the monster like a dog (even calls it "[[MythologyGag Krypto]]").

->''You already have a pet. He's an Arco-flagellant combat {{cyborg}}. He's seven feet tall, and eats 30 pounds of raw flesh a day. You named him [[FluffyTheTerrible "Skippy"]]''.

* Mouse from ''Liiterature/TheDresdenFiles'' is a dog that can take on a van, or TheFairFolk, or he gets shot, and shakes it off. He's great with kids.
