** Over on Team Evil, Oona has set herself up as one for Redcloak. She intends to stick by him and make sure that he never has to choose between achieving salvation for the goblinoid races and satisfying his own ego, fully realizing that Redcloak will always put his ego first, [[NeverMyFault no matter how many hoops he has to jump through to justify it]].

* In ''Webcomic/EightBitTheater'' Black Mage is an inversion. [[https://www.nuklearpower.com/2006/07/15/episode-720-a-lesson-is-learned-but-the-damage-is-going-to-take-forever-to-clean-up/ As this page indicates,]]His murderous, psychopathic presence is what keeps the Light Warriors a scourge upon the land rather than being the heroes they are supposed to be.

** While not evil, Vaarsuvius also has a morality chain in the form of Haley, who helps reign them in. Her absence contributes to V's gradual breakdown during ''Don't Split the Party.'' [[spoiler:When Blackwing and Vaarsuvius patch their relationship up, Blackwing also becomes a link in Vaarsuvius' morality chain, acting as the elf's conscience.

** Roy to Belkar. Without Roy (and by extension, the rest of the party) to play the role of commanding officer and coax him into coming along on their adventurers under the occasional threat of force, Belkar would be dropping the 'heroic' part of HeroicComedicSociopath ''very'' quickly. This is given a LampshadeHanging when [[spoiler:Roy goes to the afterlife and]] a character reveals that Belkar's growth on the 'Evil-O-Meter' began to reverse after he signed on with the Order. Note that Roy isn't making Belkar behave any less evil -- he's merely got him pointed in the direction of people who deserve it slightly more.
*** For comparison, without Roy's guidance, his evilness level would have quickly gone to 8 Kilonazi within a year. This surpasses the hypothetical offspring of [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Sauron]] and [[Literature/TheHundredAndOneDalmatians Cruella de Ville]] by 3 [[HiroshimaAsAUnitOfMeasure KiloNazis]]. That would have been pretty freaking evil.
** Belkar's cat, Mr. Scruffy, seems to be becoming this as well. [[spoiler: While Belkar seemed to be faking it at first, it may be that Belkar is BecomingTheMask somewhat.]]

The main page for Morality Chain was becoming too long. Certain sections, like Web Comics, were removed from the main page and split into subpages.

Added DiffLines:

* After [[spoiler: Mike's death]] in ''Webcomic/CollegeRoomiesFromHell'', Marsha comments on her insanity, saying he was the rope on her catapult. Now he's gone, and she can soar...
* Dan's mother Destania from ''Webcomic/DanAndMabsFurryAdventures'' was a powerful, manipulative, cunning and utterly ruthless Succubus with little to no regard for Beings (the "Normals" of the setting). Then she fell in love with Dan's adventurer father and gave birth to Dan and grew to love life as a loving mother to Dan and his half-sister Alexi; so much so that she renounced her previous life as Destania. [[spoiler: Then Dan's father was kidnapped by dragons]]. While scheming to get him back, and without the presence of her children, Destania is slowly but surely reverting to her past villainous self.
** Well, maybe. She has left Lost Lake Inn to [[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_712.php protect her children]], the [[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_726.php plot she's involved in]], if successful, will eliminate not only the threat to her family, but a major re-occurring threat to her kind. And if the plot seems genocidal, that seems to have been the nature of the conflict already.
* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', all known AlternateUniverse variants of Tedd got a good friend Elliot and at least once the female counterpart Ellen is his girlfriend; the only exclusion is Lord Tedd's world -- and instead of Grace there's a big ill-mannered BloodKnight.
* In ''Webcomic/{{Freefall}}'', [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff400/fv00301.htm Sam thinks of himself as an immorality chain to Helix -- Florence's noble example is corrupting him.]]
* This is one aspect of [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004301 moirallegiance]] in ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'''s troll society. Unlike most examples, it is expected to be a reciprocal relationship.
** Feferi was this to Eridan. While they were together, Eridan was a racist {{Jerkass}} with genocidal ambitions. After she breaks up with him [[spoiler:he snaps completely, murdering her and Kanaya. He also destroys the Matriorb, ensuring their race's destruction]].
-->'''Feferi:''' I am really sorry, Eridan. [[{{Deconstruction}} It has just been so hard looking after you and keeping you out of trouble! It has taken its toll, and honestly I am really exhausted.]]
** At this point, Karkat is probably this for [[spoiler:Gamzee, as the creation of their moirallegiance was the only thing stopping his [[AxCrazy murder spree]], but at this point no-one knows whether Gamzee would revert back without his influence.]]
** It might not be quite "morality", per se, but the [[HypercompetentSidekick Draconian Dignitary's]] influence and nagging is pretty much the only thing keeping [[BigBad Jack Noir]] from killing everyone and obliterating everything, and instead keeping his murder and [[EarthShatteringKaboom Earth-Shattering Kabooms]] reasonably limited to ensure that Derse still has ''some'' people to oppress and tax.
* In ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob,'' Bob and Molly are this for Galatea.
* Their relationship is no more than that of good friends, but the green-haired girl definitely appears to be this to ''Webcomic/{{minus}}''. When she is around, minus generally uses her powers for beneficial ends. When she ''isn't'' around, on the other hand, [[RealityWarpingIsNotAToy bad things tend to happen]]. Mind you, minus isn't actually ''evil'', just [[MikeNelsonDestroyerOfWorlds clueless about the consequences of her actions]].
* Asia Ellis in ''[[{{Webcomic/Morphe}} morphE]]'' is the morality chain for the entire seedling group but particularly Billy. In their captivity Asia is unwilling to compromise morals and Billy advocates "anything to survive". Without Asia to keep Billy in check he would go too far before too long.
* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick''
** Roy to Belkar. Without Roy (and by extension, the rest of the party) to play the role of commanding officer and coax him into coming along on their adventurers under the occasional threat of force, Belkar would be dropping the 'heroic' part of HeroicComedicSociopath ''very'' quickly. This is given a LampshadeHanging when [[spoiler:Roy goes to the afterlife and]] a character reveals that Belkar's growth on the 'Evil-O-Meter' began to reverse after he signed on with the Order. Note that Roy isn't making Belkar behave any less evil -- he's merely got him pointed in the direction of people who deserve it slightly more.
*** For comparison, without Roy's guidance, his evilness level would have quickly gone to 8 Kilonazi within a year. This surpasses the hypothetical offspring of [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Sauron]] and [[Literature/TheHundredAndOneDalmatians Cruella de Ville]] by 3 [[HiroshimaAsAUnitOfMeasure KiloNazis]]. That would have been pretty freaking evil.
** Belkar's cat, Mr. Scruffy, seems to be becoming this as well. [[spoiler: While Belkar seemed to be faking it at first, it may be that Belkar is BecomingTheMask somewhat.]]
* As the story progresses in ''Webcomic/CobwebAndStripes'', Lydia is growing to be either this or a MoralityPet for Betelgeuse.
* O'Malley of ''Webcomic/{{Widdershins}}'' isn't evil, just [[TheCynic cynical]] and antisocial; but his {{Heterosexual Life Partner|s}} and [[IncorruptiblePurePureness incredibly]] NiceGuy Heinrich Wolfe is always there to say YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre, break through his JerkassFacade, and inspire him to save the day -- grudgingly.
* ''Webcomic/TheNightBelongsToUs'': Because Ada doesn't want Hank to be afraid of her, Hank acts as this for Ada. As illustrated during their confrontation with Sienna.
-->'''Ada (thought bubble)''': If you weren't here, she would be dead.
