20->'''Thalia:''' Wow. Apollo is hot.\
21'''Percy:''' He's the sun god.\
22'''Thalia:''' That's not what I meant.

25When the [[OurGodsAreDifferent gods]] are divine in their beauty as well as power.
26
27Invariably, a LoveGoddess is ''always'' a Hot God. Note also that several goddesses (from a multitude of pantheons) were seen as befitting of the LadyOfWar[=/=]AmazonianBeauty archetypes, so it seems divine power may be telling of [[PowerIsSexy how attractive power is]].
28
29Of course, gods are supposed to be models that concepts are based on, so whatever concept they represent is one that they have, a thousand times more than any mortal could. So it would be a no-brainer that a goddess of love - or beauty, fertility, marriage, or pretty much any concept related to human interaction - would have unearthly beauty. A FertilityGod may also fall under this; after all, there's a reason people want to make babies.
30
31See the related AngelicBeauty for the divinely beautiful on the lower end of the cosmic totem pole. Consequently, see HotAsHell and FlamingDevil for a Hot God's infernal rivals in looks.
32
33JustForFun/NotToBeConfusedWith [[RougeAnglesOfSatin something]] that you [[Webcomic/SweetBroAndHellaJeff put ketchup or jelly on]]. Or SexGod, although the two can overlap. Contrast GrandpaGod, the one with the long white beard [[SilverFox (though even they have their admirers)]].

37[[foldercontrol]]
38
39[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
40%%* The goddesses of ''Manga/AhMyGoddess''.
41* ''Manga/DontMeddleWithMyDaughter'': Applies to Athena and her sister, Artemis, who first appear to be superheroines, but are later revealed to be the actual Greek goddesses of legend (chapter 9). Which makes Athena's daughter, Clara, a demigoddess, since she was fathered by a mortal. All three are portrayed as nubile and [[LeotardOfPower scantily clad]], with Athena being [[StacysMom acknowledged in-universe as a MILF]], who's [[LustObject constantly lusted after]] and sexually assaulted by Blowjob's forces.
42* [[spoiler:[[BigBad Father]]]] in ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'' after [[spoiler:he absorbs Truth and becomes a god, and winds up looking almost exactly like the {{Bishonen}} main brothers and the young version of their father. Perhaps to discourage {{Draco In Leather Pants}}ing, the anime had him [[VocalDissonance keep his old man voice while in that form]]]].
43%%* Suzaku and Byakko in ''Manga/FushigiYuugi''. When they're in their human forms, that is.
44* Just to mention any deity in the ''Literature/IsItWrongToTryToPickUpGirlsInADungeon'' falls into this trope. The most obvious example is Hestia, who became a British-tabloid-reported sex god, and Hephastios, who has undergone a ''serious'' Beauty Upgrade, which included a GenderFlip and changing (now) her disability to an eyepatch.
45** Though, as revealed in Volume 8, whatever is *behind* that (large) eyepatch is bad enough to have scared off every mortal who had seen it, and nearly every god(dess), with the exception of Hestia. [[spoiler:Until Welf anyway.]]
46%%* The whole point of ''VisualNovel/KamigamiNoAsobi'' -it's a CrossoverCosmology [[HaremGenre harem]] of gods in a magical high school.
47%%* ''Anime/KamisamaKazoku'' is quite possibly full of them.
48* ''Manga/MakenKi'':
49** The flashback mini-arc between chapters 51-53, reveals Himegami's mother, Yatsuno, was the [[spoiler: Eight-headed Orochi]] of legend in human form. She was such a hottie that Oousu couldn't take his eyes off her body and was [[LustObject determined to bang her.]] He eventually succeeded and fathered their two children.
50** Himegami also qualifies, given that she's a demigoddess. What she lacks [[ACupAngst 'up top']] is more than made up for with bedroom eyes, [[HartmanHips hips to spare]], a plump rump, and stewardess LEGS. It's the reason her fanclub, Takeru, Usui, and even ''her [[EvilUncle own uncle]]'' can't tear their eyes away from her scorching hot bod.
51* Lucoa from ''Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid'' is a hot ''ex''-goddess (specifically a {{Gender Flip}}ped [[Myth/AztecMythology Quetzacoatl]]; she was demoted from a goddess to a dragon after a certain incident) who usually takes the form of a large breasted woman [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl with a habit of showing off lots of skin]].
52%%* Bishamon and Yato from ''Manga/{{Noragami}}''.
53* [[spoiler:Ultimate Madoka]] from ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica''--demonstrated with [[ImpossiblyCoolClothes a gigantic, gorgeous dress]] and extraordinarily long hair, to work around limitations of the art style and because [[IncorruptiblePurePureness she's too pure for overt sex appeal]]. (Though she does, bizarrely, have a CleavageWindow.) [[spoiler:Demon Homura]] from ''[[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaTheMovieRebellion Rebellion]]'' takes a [[{{Stripperiffic}} more traditional approach]]. Both are very popular in fanart despite being {{Walking Spoiler}}s.
54%%* ''Franchise/SailorMoon'': All of the Sailor Senshi. ''All'' of them. Well, okay, not Chibi-Moon yet, but she'll get there. Eventually.
55%%* [[JerkassGods Zeus]] of ''AudioPlay/SaintBeast'' is every bit as good looking as his {{angelic|Beauty}} [[CastFullOfPrettyBoys harem]].
56[[/folder]]
57
58[[folder:Arts]]
59* ''Art/ThePlanetVenus'': Being the goddess of beauty and sexuality, Venus is completely nude without an ounce of physical modesty and the viewer can see everything. In fact, she points right at one of her breasts, a gesture drawing attention to her feminine form and implying her sexual fertility.
60[[/folder]]
61
62[[folder:Comic Books]]
63* ''ComicBook/BlackMoonChronicles'': [[spoiler:The Oracle]]'s true form is a nubile bald woman with shining skin. She also hasn't experienced earthly pleasures for several millennia and wants to make up the time. Cue threesome between the goddess, Wismerhill, and his succubus girlfriend.
64* ''ComicBook/TheMightyThor'': A solid number of the Asgardians, both male and female.
65** Thor himself is classically handsome and is in-universe a ''massive'' ChickMagnet, sometimes reluctantly so. In the 2010s he went through a HeroicBSOD that saw him cut his hair, grow a beard, and also lose an arm, and it just made him ''hotter''.
66** At least initially, this was Averted by Loki who was typically depicted as gangly, creepy looking, and overall portrayed as unattractive. After their CharacterDevelopment and HeelFaceTurn they've been reinvented as a PrettyBoy who attracts a lot of positive attention from both men and women, at least in their male form; as Loki has now came to terms with being gender fluid, they often take on a female form who is a stunningly beautiful EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette.
67** Valkyrie and Lady Sif, both ActionGirl warrior goddesses who have both romanced Thor at different times and are depicted as being exceptionally beautiful. [[AmazonChaser Their warrior skill, however, is typically the thing Thor notices the most about them.]]
68** [[Characters/MarvelComicsTheEnchantress Amora the Enchantress]] is probably the straightest example, being she's more-or-less a sex goddess, who is possibly the WorldsMostBeautifulWoman. As is natural for these kind of stories, she's ''quite'' vain about it.
69* In ''ComicBook/ShamansTears'', [[MotherNature Wakan Tanka]], the Great Spirit of the Sioux who grants Joshua his powers, usually takes the form of an incredibly [[NubileSavage sexy Native American woman]] when she manifests.
70* ''ComicBook/TalesOfTelguuth'': Lazalla Zal, mistress of the moons, is a beautiful goddess who was summoned by the ancient wizards of Zalazille so she could become their mistress. [[spoiler:In the thousands of years since then, she's aged quite a bit though.]]
71* ''ComicBook/TheWickedAndTheDivine'': All of the Pantheon are young people, and [[TheBeautifulElite becoming gods is implied to make them more beautiful]], though given Creator/JamieMcKelvie is the series' artist, none of them are ugly to start with.
72* ''Franchise/WonderWoman'':
73** Aphrodite's beauty is oft mentioned, and she's an attractive sex god that usually walks around in very little actual clothing.
74** Pre-Flashpoint in ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987'' Ares was a well muscled hunk, besides his eerie eyes, who knew it and when he wasn't hidden beneath his TinTyrant look he would wear open shirts to show it off.
75[[/folder]]
76
77[[folder:Fan Works]]
78* In ''Fanfic/TheBridge'': A contrast is made between those given powers from certain deities, usually with those granted a boon by benevolent ones being quite pretty as a case of what's on the inside shown on the outside.
79** Alicorns are considered SemiDivine [[spoiler: due to having some of their power derived from a Goddess of Creation]]. By Equestrian standards and when in human form, they are stunning.
80** The Mothra are already quite beautiful as a kaiju, and this is likewise shown in any Equestrian or human forms they take. Mothra Lea, even as a changeling queen, is remarked as looking far more beautiful than Chrysalis.
81** Benevolent Goddess of Creation, Harmony, is beautiful to behold and it puts even strangers at peace just glimpsing her.
82* ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'', has several examples:
83** [[{{Hunk}} Thor]] and [[PrettyBoy Loki]]. It also has [[SilverFox Frigga]], [[ChickMagnet Fandral,]] [[AmazonianBeauty Sif and Athena.]] In addition, there's Harry, [[ShesAllGrownUp who's getting all grown up]] and people are noticing, Diana, who's mentioned as being a pretty girl and on course to become absolutely stunning. Considering that she's Wonder Woman, this is hardly surprising.
84** Both Harry and Diana's future good looks are confirmed in a brief PlotRelevantAgeUp.
85** Considering it's basically been acknowledged that all the pantheons exist, this probably applies to all those it does in mythology, too.
86** And of course, there's [[AlphaBitch Amora the Enchantress.]]
87* ''Fanfic/ACrownOfStars'': Rayana is Goddess Empress of Avalon. She is a very bustier, long-haired FieryRedhead. Magic, Love, Beauty and Motherhood are some of her domains. She is so hot even straight women need a cold shower after seeing her.
88* Inverted in ''[[Fanfic/NotCompletelyAltogetherHere The Eternity Effect]]''. Elphaba and Glinda are horrified to find out that Lurline is not only not angelically beautiful and poised, but she's actually a bit frumpy looking. She's not unattractive but she's messy and completely unsophisticated.
89* ''Fanfic/TheGreatAlicornHunt'': At least three of the now-alicorn Mane Six are this trope:
90** Rarity gets a spotlight wearing a [[SexyBacklessOutfit backless]] [[PimpedOutDress gown]] in Chapter 12, and later makes boys swoon just by doing a [[HairFlip mane-toss]] in Chapter 51.
91** Fluttershy:
92*** It's given note that she used to be a former supermodel, and a fashion magazine has her in a ''lingerie shot''.
93*** A guard being teased for the butterfly logo on his armor (due to being inducted into Fluttershy's PraetorianGuard) only needs a photo of Fluttershy and said fashion magazine to be ''envied by every guard in the bar''.
94*** A recruitment criteria for said PraetorianGuard of hers even exploits this trope: they had to get [[BodyguardCrush soppy looks on their faces when she walks past them]].
95** Rainbow Dash tries to exploit this trope by (clumsily) flirting seductively to Mach One in Chapter 49. Unfortunately for her, [[EpicFail her target is not of legal age]] ([[YoungerThanTheyLook although he looks the part]]). The first lines of the next chapter say it the best:
96--> '''Narration''': "Mach was a touch bewildered as to what had just occurred. One moment a smoking hot she-alicorn had been purring at him from an inch away, so close he could smell her body wash (Mountain Racer Sport scent, if you must know), the next there had been an earsplitting scream and a flash of light, and now she was on the opposite side of the room, squared off and hyperventilating in panic."
97* ''Fanfic/IceIceBaby'': The four gods are all extremely attractive in their own divine ways, but Idris Elba, the god of paternal hotness, is certainly considered to be the most heavenly looking.
98* ''Fanfic/TheTasteOfPeaches'' sees Taylor Hebert become a DeityOfHumanOrigin after eating the titular peach. Thanks to inheriting Inari's Fertility domain, she has an ImpossibleHourglassFigure, with [[LittleBitBeastly fox ears and nine fox tails]] making her one exotic-looking package.
99* In ''Fanfic/ThousandShinji'':
100** Played straight with [[spoiler:Asuka]] -whose body is described as spectacular, heavily muscled and incredibly womanly- and with [[spoiler:Misato]] who was a beautiful human woman and becomes even more voluptuous after ascending to godhood.
101** Subverted with [[spoiler:Reigle,]] Goddess of Decay. [[spoiler:Shinji]] thinks that she's beautiful, but everyone else thinks she looks like a half-rotten corpse.
102* ''FanFic/TheTwilightChild'': Princess Cadence is mentioned as having the sort of beauty that would "turn even the most intelligent, witty and urbane being into a smiling, dribbling mess on the floor even on an average day". This statement is proven by a scene several chapters earlier when Shining Armor meets her for a Hearts and Hooves Day date, and is momentarily rendered speechless when he sees her.
103[[/folder]]
104
105[[folder:Film -- Live-Action]]
106* God (played by [[spoiler:Music/AlanisMorissette)]] in ''Film/{{Dogma}}'' could count as one. Jay mentions when God kissed him, he popped a semi.
107* Thor gets this ''a lot'' in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, including his original appearance in Film/{{Thor}}, but probably at its peak in ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'', when he is unconscious and being discussed by the Guardians Of The Galaxy:
108--> '''Drax:''' This is not a dude. You are a dude. This... This is a ''man''. A handsome, muscular man... It's like a pirate had a baby with an angel.
109* ''Film/OneTouchOfVenus'' has the titular LoveGoddess played by classic screen beauty Ava Gardener. Every male who encounters her is stunned by her beauty.
110* [[CelibateHero Hanuman]] from ''Animation/TheReturnOfHanuman'' has a HeroicBuild, which might be the reason [[SmittenTeenageGirl a squirrel]] is really attracted to him.
111* The Muses from ''Film/{{Xanadu|1980}}'', including Kira.
112[[/folder]]
113
114[[folder:Literature]]
115* In ''[[Literature/TheBelgariad Belgarath the Sorcerer]]'', Belgarath recalls that Torak was quite beautiful back before the Orb of Aldur burned off half of his face. It overlaps with BeautyIsBad as Torak was also very vain, and his ego led to a ruinous DivineConflict.
116* Aphrodite in Fred Saberhagen's ''Literature/BooksOfSwords'' trilogy is not merely extremely beautiful, but appears to whoever sees her as whatever that individual viewer's ideal of female beauty is.
117* In ''Literature/TheCampHalfBloodSeries'' members of the Myth/{{Greek|Mythology}} pantheon have the power to alter their appearances at will.
118** ''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'':
119*** Thalia swoons at Apollo, who is described as (and drawn as, in supplementary material) a young, bronzed hunk.
120*** Aphrodite, goddess of love. It's mentioned that her appearance [[AppearanceIsInTheEyeOfTheBeholder is different to all who look at her]], conforming to that particular person's "idea of true beauty."
121*** Percy personally believes that Calypso is more beautiful than Aphrodite, because her beauty is more natural, but is also smart enough to never, ever say that out loud.
122** In the second series, Percy, Frank and Hazel meet Thanatos, the god of death. Hazel describes him as the most beautiful man that she has ever seen. Percy himself describes Thanatos as a hot, buff Cupid.
123** The SequelSeries ''Literature/TheTrialsOfApollo'' tells the story of {{Humanity Ensu|es}}ing for the god Apollo. He's quite distressed at his new human body for how ''hideous'' it (supposedly) is ... [[FauxHorrific even though it's average by human standards]]. He did use to have the body of a Greek god, after all.
124* ''[[Literature/TheElricSaga Elric of Melnibone]]'' stories. The Lord of Law Donblas the Justice Maker and Arioch, a Lord of Chaos.
125** Arioch can take many forms, not all of which are appealing.
126* In ''Literature/{{Everworld}}'' pretty much all the gods are described this way, but [[LoveGoddess Aphrodite]], [[EvenTheGuysWantHim Ganymede]] and [[TwoFaced half of]] [[NightmareFetishist Hel]] are particularly notable. The Valkyries are also described as "not so much beautiful as flawless."
127** Dionysus tends to look more "approachable" than most gods, but at one point turns into a handsomer form just to show that he can. He notes that gods generally take whatever form will best fit their jobs, and specifically notes that Artemis looks hot because a [[ChasteHero vow of eternal chastity]] is kind of pointless if people don't ''want'' to have sex with you.
128* ''Literature/GodsOfJadeAndShadow'': Hun-Kamé, the supreme god of TheUnderworld, is [[TallDarkAndHandsome tall, black-haired, and beautiful]] in an ageless, utterly inhuman way. It's a sign that his powers are waning when he starts to look like an exceptionally beautiful young man instead.
129* Creator/NKJemisin's ''Literature/InheritanceTrilogy'': Nahadoth the GodOfChaos usually manifests as an amazingly beautiful [[SexShifter man or woman]] with [[RavenHairIvorySkin pale skin and long black hair]]. When his powers are suppressed, he only looks like a very attractive human, but in his inchoate true form, his beauty is outright unearthly.
130* Jesus gets this from Naomi Tiberias in the Dramatic Audio version of the ''Literature/LeftBehind'' book ''Glorious Appearing'' when she comments to Chang Wong on how handsome He is.
131* In ''Literature/MagnusChaseAndTheGodsOfAsgard,'' Freya shines with a light that illuminates her whole realm, and Magnus describes her as the most beautiful woman that he's ever seen, feeling as though he would risk his life just to keep her smiling at him. Which is a little weird, since he eventually learns that [[spoiler:she's his aunt]].
132* In the novel ''Literature/{{Psyche}}'' Eros doesn't let his wife Psyche look upon him because she is supposed to be married to a monster, and she would know the truth if she saw how hot he was.
133%%* Dweia from ''Literature/TheRedemptionOfAlthalus''.
134* The Valar in ''Literature/TheSilmarillion''. In their case they're [[OurSpiritsAreDifferent spiritual beings]] and when they walk among the Children of Eru they regard their bodies the way the Children of Eru regard fine clothes--as something to put on to impress others. In effect their bodies are a kind of ErmineCapeEffect.
135** Melian, specifically. In his ''Quenta Noldorinwa'' Tolkien stated "Melian was a fay. In the gardens of [the Vala] she dwelt, and amongst all [Thingol's] folk, none surpassed her in beauty." Her [[NonHumanHumanoidHybrid half-elfin daughter]], Luthien Tinuviel, is also the WorldsMostBeautifulWoman who's ''not'' a goddess.
136* One of the historical [[GodEmperor semidivine sovereigns]] in Fiona Patton's ''Literature/TalesOfTheBranionRealm'' series was named [[TheMagnificent Alexius the Fair]].
137* [[PhysicalGod The Returned]] in ''Literature/{{Warbreaker}}'' (not real gods, but close enough and worshiped as such in-universe) are all very physically attractive. It's ultimately revealed that this is because all Returned actually have VoluntaryShapeshifting powers that they're generally unaware of, but that causes them to subconsciously turn into idealized versions of what they looked like as humans prior to ascending.
138[[/folder]]
139
140[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
141* Although he doesn't appear in the episodes, Thor is referenced as such in ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD''.
142** In the pilot episode, when Ward mentions he doesn't think Thor and Asgardians are [[SufficientlyAdvancedAliens actual gods]], Maria Hill quips that Ward hasn't seen Thor's arms.
143** In "The Well," Skye calls Thor dreamy. When Coulson admits he's handsome, [[TheStoic May]] interrupts and [[InsistentTerminology flatly states that no, he's dreamy]].
144* On ''Series/{{Angel}}'', [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans Jasmine]], one of the PowersThatBe incarnated in our universe, had a magic beauty that made anyone who saw her instantly fall to their knees in worship, rhapsodizing about her infinite beauty and goodness. [[spoiler:[[GlamourFailure Unless her blood mixed with yours]], in which case you saw her true face]].
145* On ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer,'' [[GodInHumanForm Glory]] is an evil hell-god in the form of an attractive blonde woman. And she knows it.
146* In one episode of ''Series/{{Charmed|1998}}'', after the Titans were released, Leo gives the Charmed Ones the powers of the Greek gods to combat them. Phoebe became a LoveGoddess and basically turned any normal man who looked at her into a lovesick slave.
147* Pretty much every single God ever in ''Series/HerculesTheLegendaryJourneys'' and ''Series/XenaWarriorPrincess''.
148* ''Series/JoanOfArcadia'': God looks different every time Joan sees Him, but his original form was called "[[AllThereInTheScript Cute Boy God]]."
149* ''Series/TheLordOfTheRingsTheRingsOfPower'': Sauron is described as the beautiful servant of Morgoth. In his human form, he is an Aragorn look-alike and has all the charisma and FemaleGaze of a LoveableRogue.
150* Many Goa'uld from ''Series/StargateSG1'' tried to [[InvokedTrope invoke this trope]] with their choice of hosts to the point that on several planets being SoBeautifulItsACurse was really a curse.
151* ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'': The episode "[[Recap/StarTrekS2E2WhoMournsForAdonais Who Mourns for Adonais]]" features a {{Hunk}}y [[AncientAstronauts ancient astronaut]] who used to be worshiped as Apollo in ancient Greece.
152* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}''
153** In Season 5, Dean hits on an incredibly hot woman in a red dress at a hotel. She turns out to be the goddess, Kali.
154** In season 6, [[spoiler:Castiel]] is acting as God and makes numerous appearances around the globe. One parishoner describes him:
155-->We all saw him. No beard, no robe. He was young and... and sexy. He had a raincoat—
156** And then there's [[spoiler:Chuck]], who isn't just any god. He's ''the'' [[{{God}} Big Man Upstairs. The Alpha and Omega. The Allfather]]. There's also His [[spoiler:sister, Amara, the Darkness.]]
157[[/folder]]
158
159[[folder:Myths and Religion]]
160* In Proto-Indo-European Mythology, Hewsos (or Heusos or Hausos) was the goddess of dawn, beauty, dancing and merriment and the UrExample. As the embodiment of the "morning star" (Venus), she is considered the antecedent to goddesses like Inanna, Ishtar, Astarte, Aphrodite, and even Eos and Apollo from Greek myth, as well as Freya from Norse myth. All of whom share some combination of her extreme beauty, association with the sun, and voracious sexual appetite.
161* Myth/MesopotamianMythology: Inanna/Ishtar, the goddess of beauty, war and sex, is the TropeMaker. She was considered the most sexually-enticing god of the pantheon, to the point that when she was rejected by Gilgamesh (due to [[CartwrightCurse her lovers all meeting terrible fates]]), she became supremely insulted.
162* Myth/ClassicalMythology:
163** All of them. [[LoveGoddess Aphrodite/Venus]] got talked about the most, but the general perception was that gods were always good-looking, and even the ones who [[GrandpaGod looked older]] could always shapeshift. Hephaestus' claim to fame is that he was the only real {{Aversion}} among the Olympians, as well as being a DisabledDeity.
164** The ancient Greeks believed that beauty is actually a manifestation of divine favor or divine lineage. Hence why many demigods tend to be rather good looking and have women/goddesses (or in the case of the rare female demigod other gods) falling in love with them at first sight.
165* Myth/AztecMythology:
166** Xochiquetzal ("Beautiful Flower"), goddess of youth, prostitutes and musicians. As is for the thus inclined Xochipilli (translated both as "Prince of Flowers" or "Noble Flower"), patron god of homosexuals and male prostitutes.
167** Tezcatlipoca was also regarded as one of these, often described as the most youthful-looking and handsome god. One custom of the Aztecs involved selecting a particularly attractive young man to become an ''ixiptla'', "doppleganger" to the god, for an entire year. He would act as Tezcatlipoca's earthly incarnation over its course, be lavished with food and gifts and finery, taught to play music and sing. During the last 20 days of this year, he would be wed to 4 beautiful women (also ixiptlas of the 4 goddesses that were Tezcatlipoca's wives) and be able to lay with them as often as he wanted. On the final day of the year, he would be stripped of his riches, drugged, ascend a temple while breaking a flute on every step of the way, and finally sacrificed. The ceremony would start all over again the following day, as a new ixiptla would be chosen as a replacement.
168* Myth/EgyptianMythology: Isis and Nephthys were usually considered "near-perfect" women in Egyptian mythos, by whatever standard was appropriate at the time. The crowning jewel, however, was Hathor, the goddess of sex and music, who was considered such complete and utter feminine perfection that she inspired (or [[TheDividual was]]) an entire nymph-like race who were exact physical copies because her [[AngelicBeauty beauty was unsurpassable]]. Depending on the telling, Sekhmet and Bastet may also be considered aspects of Hathor.
169%%* Finnish: Loviatar
170* Myth/NorseMythology: Sif, known for her beautiful hair; Freyja, the "most beautiful woman" and a fertility Goddess; Gerd, ''also'' the "most beautiful woman"; and Baldr, who isn't a god of beauty but was well known for his [[{{Pun}} radiant]] beauty. [[VoluntaryShapeshifter Loki]] is this as well in some recountings, though presumably less so after his [[MouthStitchedShut mouth was sewn shut]] and he tore out the bindings, followed by having a snake drip venom in his face for an unspecified number of centuries.
171%%* Myth/JapaneseMythology: Benten, Amaterasu, and [[BigBeautifulWoman some renditions]] of Ame-no-Uzume.
172* Myth/CelticMythology: Aengus Og, the love god of the Tuatha De Danaan, was THE {{Bishonen}} amongst a tribe known for pretty men.
173* Zoroastrian mythology has fertility goddess Anahita, who was usually depicted as the epitome of what people of the time considered beautiful on a woman. On the male side was Mithras, the god of promises and pacts (which included Marriage). After the hellenization of Iran they were equated/merged with the Greek Aphrodite and Apollo, respectively.
174** Also, Sroasha (who was merged with Hermes) is always described as very pleasant to look at.
175%%* Several Hindu goddesses.
176* Most UsefulNotes/{{Wicca}}n depictions of the Goddess tend to represent her as beautiful, also the representation of Aradia in Stregheria. Some depictions of male Pagan deities also follow the same patern. Neo-pagans and Pagan reconstructionist religions including Asatru and Romuve also tend to represent their deities, specially female ones, as beauties.
177* Several Buddhist deities, most notable Tara. Also very common in Tantric traditions.
178* ZigZagged with UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}}, as descriptions of his appearance are rather vague and varied. Some Christians try to gleam into his appearance with descriptions from the Messiah in the [[Literature/TheBible Hebrew Bible]], which range from "fairer than the children of men"[[labelnote:Verse]][[Literature/BookOfPsalms Psalm 45:2]][[/labelnote]] to "no beauty that we should desire him"[[labelnote:Verse]][[Literature/BookOfIsaiah Isaiah 53:2]][[/labelnote]]. Artists from UsefulNotes/TheRenaissance onwards tended to go for the handsome young man people see in paintings and church windows.

182%%* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''
183%%** Literature/{{Dragonlance}}: [[http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/files/ova-9.jpg Takhisis (human form)]]
184%%** Elven: Eilistraee, Hanali Celanil, [[http://www.peldor.com/modules/fort9/selene.jpg Lolth (human/elf form)]]
185%%** TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms: Angharradh, Corellon Larethian, Sune, Sharess
186* ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'':
187** Pathfinder has [[http://cdn.obsidianportal.com/assets/183166/Shelyn-art.jpg Shelyn,]] the goddess of beauty, alongside her occasional lover Desna, who's a gorgeous elven woman who is almost always shown completely nude, with only a SceneryCensor covering anything, and Calistria, goddess of lust, who dresses like a dominatrix, complete with a whip. Several other gods, such as Sarenrae, Abadar, Iomedae, and even [[TheGrimReaper Pharasma]] are also quite attractive, but those three are the ones who actively flaunt it. Overlaps with BeautyEqualsGoodness, as none of the major evil gods are conventionally attractive, and Urgathoa subverts it. She appears as a very attractive nude woman up to just above the bust. A little further down, you find [[BodyHorror dangling organs and a blood-covered skeleton]].
188** There are exceptions to BeautyEqualsGoodness in the lesser gods of the setting, but the most notable exception, Nocticula, had a HeelFaceTurn and went from demon queen of succubi and assassins to goddess of exiles, artists, and midnight.
189** A few of the other Hot Gods:
190*** Kurgess, the Strong Man, as long as you equate physical fitness with attractiveness. The god and his followers certainly flaunt their bodies, but it's more about strength and competition.
191*** [[https://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/File:Hei_Feng_is_a_sore_loser.jpg Gruhastha]], an expy of the Buddha, is depicted as a very handsome and buff shirtless man with a halo and rainbow wings.
192*** Tsukiyo and Shizuru are expies of Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu, respectively, with the former very much a Bishonen PrettyBoy and the latter conventionally attractive when not a fiery dragon.
193*** [[https://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Arazni Arazni]], the minor goddess of the abused and unwilling undeath, is NeutralEvil, but can have good clerics. She is conventionally attractive and sensibly dressed, as a rejection of her former status as The Harlot Queen when she was enslaved. The subtext is almost certainly intentional.
194%%* ''TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}'': Luna is both a [[GenderBender Hot God and Hot Goddess]]. (This is in a setting where EveryoneIsBi.)
195%%* ''TabletopGame/{{Scion}}'' has notes about how the few aversions in each pantheon handle it.
196* ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'' and ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer40000}}'':
197** Slaanesh, the divinely beautiful and seductive Chaos Power of lust, desire and sensual excess. Slaanesh can assume a form of any gender (male, female, hermaphroditic, or androgynous) at will, and whatever Slaanesh chooses, it will always be an androgynously, supernaturally beautiful and alluring form... though since Slaanesh embodies hedonistic lust rather than love, its forms have a perverse UncannyValley effect and are almost as horrifying as they are beautiful. Devoted followers of Slaanesh are often rewarded with a fraction of this power. It's been stated that Slaanesh prefers masculine forms, though if it's like his daemons, it might be masculine on the left side and feminine on the right.
198** The Emperor of Mankind (who was effectively a PhysicalGod even if he [[AGodIAmNot denied being a true deity]]) was a golden-armored superhuman with long hair and classic chiseled good looks. Then the Horus Heresy happened.
199[[/folder]]
200
201[[folder:Video Games]]
202%%* ''VideoGame/AgeOfMythology'' contains portraits of many gods and goddesses from all over classical mythology, most of which are attractive and scantily-clad.
203* Depending on your interpretation, the {{Superboss}} of ''VideoGame/CrisisCore: VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'', Minerva, is strongly related to The Planet's [[TheLifestream consciousness]], either being its [[AnthropomorphicPersonification physical embodiment]] or goddess. [[http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy/images/6/61/Minerva.jpg Here,]] [[http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy/images/4/45/Minerva_Artwork.jpg take a look.]]
204* Gwynevere, the Princess of Sunlight, in ''VideoGame/DarkSouls''. Her CleavageWindow is bigger than you are. [[GiantWoman Literally]].
205%%* Cosmos of ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy''.
206* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'':
207** Dibella, the [[OurGodsAreDifferent Aedric Divine]] Goddess of Beauty, logically plays it straight. She is typically depicted as a voluptuous and attractive female. In ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIDaggerfall Daggerfall]]'', she is [[MsFanservice topless]].
208** On the other side of the coin, several of the Daedric Princes choose to manifest in female form, often in very {{Stripperific}} outfits. Of particular note is Noctural's NavelDeepNeckline dress in ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'', and in ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIDaggerfall Daggerfall]]'' Azura is shown topless. The lore is in-universe lore is highly divided on how "good" the Princes are though, so for some this would be more HotAsHell.
209** Almalexia, the Dunmeri [[PhysicalGod Tribunal deity]], is described as one of the most beautiful beings on Nirn in-universe. She also tends to wear {{Stripperific}} outfits and VaporWear, which do not hurt her case. She appears in-person in both ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind Morrowind]]'''s ''Tribunal'' expansion and ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsOnline Online]]''.
210* Several of the Summons in the ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' series could qualify, with Siren, Shiva, and [[https://res.cloudinary.com/lmn/image/upload/fl_lossy,q_80/f_auto/v1/gameskinny/3f0a72f4cbfdfe5ec499b47deea1e157.jpg Garuda]] being the three most people remember. This only works though if you assume that the Summons in the various Final Fantasy games represent actual Gods. ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' rejects this notion, though ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'' accepts this as actual {{Canon}} inside the game, and as WordOfGod. Though in the case of the known Hot God from Final Fantasy XIV, she would sooner rip you to ribbons on her talons than look at you with any romantic interests. It is also interesting to note that of the three mentioned above, Siren is the only one whose name is actually derived from a female mythological entity, and she is by and large the least popular of the three.
211** By the above logic, Terra Branford of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'' probably qualifies for this trope under the sub-category of Hot Demi-God as she is [[spoiler: the daughter of the Eidolon Maudeen, born to a human woman.]]
212* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'' has Ultima, one of only two female Espers. Although she's a CuteMonsterGirl, before her fall from grace, she radiated a divine light that dazzled everyone.
213* ''Franchise/FireEmblem'':
214** In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight''[[labelnote:*]](and by extension ''VideoGame/FireEmblemGaiden'', ''VideoGame/FireEmblemMysteryOfTheEmblem'', ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar Genealogy of the Holy War]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Awakening]]'', which take place in the same universe)[[/labelnote]] Naga is sometimes depicted in in-universe artwork as a [[http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/fireemblem/images/c/c5/NagaFE3.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100815045732 handsome giant man]], but when we meet Naga in person [[SamusIsAGirl she's actually]] [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/fireemblem/images/5/5d/Naga_Awakening_Sprite.png/revision/latest?cb=20160430025616 a beautiful female]] DivineDragon. She also [[AGodIAmNot explicitly denies being a god,]] so while the "hot" part is played straight, the "god" part is subverted.
215** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemGaiden'' has the goddess [[http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/File:Doma_and_Mila_(Manga).jpg Mila]] who is depicted as a beautiful woman; [[TheGhost according to the statues of her and the manga adaptation anyway]]. Oddly her brother Duma appears as a cycloptic undead dragon, though the Manga adaptation depicts him with an attractive human form. The ''Gaiden'' remake ''Echoes: Shadows of Valentia'' [[https://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/fireemblem/images/3/39/Mila_Echoes_Art.png/revision/latest?cb=20170412140340 confirms this]] ''AND'' [[https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/fireemblem/images/9/9a/DumaHalf.png/revision/latest?cb=20170601080443 gives Duma's human form]] the AdaptationalAttractiveness treatment.
216** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemRadiantDawn'' has Ashera, the Goddess of Order and Restriction. [[TheGhost While she is only mentioned in lore in]] ''Radiance'', she is actually seen in ''Dawn''. [[spoiler:Very beautiful, perhaps otherworldly so, but she's [[GodOfEvil evil]]. This is explained by the backstory: When the Goddess of Dawn Ashunera became so overcome by her emotions in response to the warring nations of the world, she accidentally summoned [[TheGreatFlood a calamitous deluge]] that wiped out most of the world. In order to prevent this from happening again, a grieving Ashunera discarded her emotions: Ashunera became Ashera (who retained her original self's maturity), while her emotions manifested as Yune, the cute, childlike Goddess of Chaos and Transformation. The player should [[GuideDangIt through a few hoops]] (namely, recruiting her [[TheDragon Dragon]] Sephiran/Lehran during a NewGamePlus), and as a reward the [[GodIsGood benevolent]] Ashunera will return during the extended epilogue.]]
217** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'':
218*** The game features prominent antagonistic deities in the form of [[https://fireemblemwiki.org/w/images/8/8d/FEH_Loki_01.png Loki]] and [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/feheroes_gamepedia_en/images/4/41/Thorr_Face.webp/revision/latest?cb=20190920234615 Thórr]], both of them being beautiful voluptous women with revealing clothing. Loki especially takes the cake, being a deliberate MsFanservice who makes suggestive dialogue and teases the player, with her [[https://fireemblemwiki.org/w/images/4/49/FEH_Loki_Spring_Trickster_01.png Regal Rabbits alternate]] amping things up by showing even more skin and commenting on fecundity.
219*** The main antagonist of Book IV, [[https://fireemblemwiki.org/w/images/2/24/FEH_Freyja_Lady_of_Nightmare_01.png Freyja]], is a goddess who has control over the realm of nightmares and cares little about mortals. Despite that, her attire has a light-theme and she's undeniably a fairly attractive woman. Her [[https://fireemblemwiki.org/w/images/f/fb/FEH_Freyja_Fleeting_Summer_01.png Fleeting Summer version]] somehow outdoes Loki in the fanservice department.
220*** A less antagonistic example is [[https://fireemblemwiki.org/w/images/8/87/FEH_Nifl_God_of_Ice_01.png Nifl]], Goddess of Ice, whose outfit leaves her legs bare.
221%%* The Greek goddesses in ''VideoGame/GodOfWar'' are hot and in some cases (Aphrodite especially) the scenes involving them are NSFW.
222* Being a game about Greek gods, ''VideoGame/{{Hades}}'' depicts all of said gods as attractive, though it's Aphrodite and Zagreus's looks that are explicitly noted. Having to converse with both at once leaves Artemis in awkward speechlessness, which Aphrodite wastes no time teasing her about. According to the game's art director, Jen Zee, this was deliberately by design:
223-->'''Jen Zee:''' Greg and I even had very intellectual conversations on why this should be so, which is that the ancient Greeks, like us, were huge fans of the human form and beauty, and they celebrated it a lot. So it was kind of a carte blanche to make everyone really hot.
224* ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising''
225** Palutena was redesigned so she now has a noticeably larger bust, wider hips, and sexier legs. Her gown also underwent changes to show off her new figure; including having [[SexyBacklessOutfit a low-cut back]] and [[ShowSomeLeg a splitseam.]] Her debut trailer in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosForNintendo3DSAndWiiU'' goes as far as having a shot focusing on her hips and another on her bust.
226** {{Medusa}} (the BigBad) originally co-ruled Angel Land with Palutena until she was banished for [[HumansAreBastards her spiteful action towards humans]]. Palutena cursed her, transforming her into a giant, snake-haired monster cyclops, but upon defeat, she assumes a less hideous appearance. [[http://images.wikia.com/nintendo/en/images/1/18/Medusa_Uprising.png Her redesign]] in ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising'' cements her as a CuteMonsterGirl[=/=]GorgeousGorgon.
227** [[spoiler:The true form of the Goddess of Calamity, [[https://cdn.wikimg.net/en/kidicaruswiki/images/d/d7/Amazon_Pandora_Artwork.png Amazon Pandora]], certainly qualifies, especially emphasized in her {{Stripperiffic}} outfit and how she behaves seductively during her fight.]]
228** Phosphora wears skimpy clothes and openly flirts with Pit, while having [[ShockAndAwe electricity powers]] strong enough to take down Thanatos, she works for a goddess herself and she's ReallySevenHundredYearsOld. [[SubvertedTrope She's never referred as a god throughout the chapter though making it unknown if she actually is one]].
229* ''VideoGame/{{Lunar}}'':
230** Althena, the goddess of love and beauty is admired (often lecherously) by [=NPCs=]. Players too, as evidenced by an winning entry from an old Creator/WorkingDesigns haiku contest: "''Heavenly bodies / Eyes gaze upwards in rev'rence / Goddess in a thong''"
231** The heroine of the sequel, Lucia, is in some [[EpilepticTrees ill-defined way]] a counterpart to Althena and is similarly admired.
232* Goddess Ilias from H-Game ''Monster Girl Quest'' may be a [[JerkassGods deceitful]] [[LightIsNotGood genocidal]] lunatic, but she is still VERY easy on the eyes. And of course, some of her scenes are NSFW.
233** Not to be outdone, her rival and resident dark goddess Alipheese I fits the bill, and she's a CuteMonsterGirl to boot (natch).
234* ''Franchise/MortalKombat'':
235** Raiden. He assumes the form of a handsome adult male with a nice hat; his alternate costume in the ''[[VideoGame/MortalKombatDeadlyAlliance DA]]/[[VideoGame/MortalKombatDeception D]]/[[VideoGame/MortalKombatArmageddon A]]'' trilogy ditches the hat, revealing Raiden to have a {{long|HairedPrettyBoy}} mane of white hair. In fact, he's one the prime sources of MrFanservice among female fans of the series. It's a bit of a stretch, but the likes of [[VideoGame/MortalKombatMythologiesSubZero Fujin and the nameless Water and Fire Gods]] could also fit the bill.
236** In ''[[VideoGame/MortalKombatArmageddon Armageddon]]'', the defeat of [[LivingMacGuffin Blaze]] usually results in the victor [[SuperEmpowering being granted a surge of godlike power]], but only a few of them actually become bona-fide gods. [[VideoGame/MortalKombat3 Rain]] and Taven (both demi-gods; [[DivineParentage they share a father in Edenia's protector god Argus]]) ascend to full godhood, whereas the [[VideoGame/MortalKombatII younger Sub-Zero]] and [[VideoGame/MortalKombatDeadlyAlliance Nitara]] respectively assume the form of an ice god and blood goddess. [[VideoGame/MortalKombatDeception Kira]] is transformed into a goddess of death at the behest of Kobra, who demands the Elder Gods to make him Lord of the Realms and give him [[MinionShipping his fellow Black Dragon clanswoman]] [[UnholyMatrimony to be his wife]] (this backfires, as [[KissOfDeath Kobra crumbles into ashes when Kira kisses him]]). The Elder Gods also turn [[VideoGame/MortalKombat3 Sheeva]] into a destroyer goddess in her ending. Liu Kang, on the other hand, defeats his former {{mentor|s}} Raiden ([[CameBackWrong now]] [[DarkerAndEdgier a]] [[DarkMessiah vengeful god]] [[WellIntentionedExtremist willing to protect Earthrealm at any cost]]) and succeeds him as protector god of Earthrealm. [[spoiler:The last one happens again in Liu Kang's Arcade Ladder ending ''[[VideoGame/MortalKombat9 MK9]]'', although Liu Kang ends up as a [[DrunkWithPower power-mad]] [[FallenHero tyrant]].]]
237* ''VideoGame/MuramasaTheDemonBlade'' gives us the pair of Fujin and Raijin. Fujin is more "Cute" than "Hot", while [[AmazonianBeauty Raijin]] plays this trope completely straight. Given their interactions in the story (notably, he being one of the few people who can bring out her [[{{Tsundere}} softer side]]), it's a safe bet to assume that they're lovers.
238* Everyone in ''VideoGame/NamuAmidaButsuUtena''.
239* Any of the goddesses in ''Franchise/{{Neptunia}}''. ''Especially'' former goddess Magiquone/Arfoire.
240** Averted with Magiquone in some games where she is merely a mortal instead of a goddess.
241** Note that the goddesses are mostly hot when they are in their goddess forms. Most of them are rather cute than hot in their human forms, but their hotness level increases a lot after their transformation.
242** The CPU Candidates on the other hand are not really hot, but just cute (still plenty of {{fanservice}}), even after they transform.
243* ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}: Golden''. [[spoiler:Marie turns out to become this if you get her to rank 10 social link, defeat her bonus dungeon, and get the True Ending. Turns out that all the major Bosses were fragments of the original Izanami: Marie is the Human part of Izanami and inherits all the power once they are all defeated.]]
244* ''VideoGame/LaPucelle Tactics'' has very well-named Goddess Poitreene, whose name derives from a French word for breast. She usually takes the form of a multi-winged blonde angel wearing next to nothing.
245* As a general rule, goddesses depicted in ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' games are this, as drawn by Kazuma Kaneko. A lesser amount are hags of varying kind with the occasional TokenMiniMoe. As for males, there's a goodly amount of HeroicBuild and {{Bishonen}}, though as a rule they are quite a bit uglier than their female counterparts.
246* The Harvest God (a [[FieryRedhead red-haired]] [[MrFanservice hunk]]) and the Harvest Goddess (who looks different in most of her incarnations but is still beautiful all the same) of ''VideoGame/StoryOfSeasons''.
247* Asura and Inanna (who were based on Hindu and Sumerian gods, respectively) from ''VideoGame/TalesOfInnocence''.
248* [[spoiler:Grune]] of ''VideoGame/TalesOfLegendia'' turns out to be one of these.
249* ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'': Kanako qualifies. Suwako is more Cute God than Hot God, but there is the fact that Sanae is her great-great-great-...-granddaughter.
250** Yukari may not technically be a goddess, despite being older than the land of Gensokyo itself and every bit as powerful as the actual gods, but she is ''quite'' attractive.
251%%** Shinki is HotAsHell and "[[BossSubtitles the God of Makai]]".
252** And side-manga ''Silent Sinner in Blue'' mentions that the rabbits find traditional Shinto god Lord Daikoku[[note]]aka Oogoninushi no Mikoto, who saved the legendary White Rabbit of Inaba[[/note]] very handsome.
253* ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}}'', ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' (and ''Franchise/WarcraftExpandedUniverse''):
254** The night elf goddess Elune is depicted (at least in the RPG book Shadows & Light) as an attractive night elf female with very little clothing.
255** The Titans, the {{Top God}}s of the setting, are generally depicted as, basically, really enormous humans in a mix of the Norse and Greek pantheons; as with the source material, beauty, or at least rugged handsomeness, is the rule rather than the exception. (Except, naturally, [[FallenAngel Sargeras]].) Sargeras apparently ''used'' to be an example, but his fall to darkness [[EvilMakesYouUgly came with an evil makeover]] (his skin split open and started spewing flame).
256%%* ''VideoGame/{{Ys}}'' features Feena and Reah.
257[[/folder]]
258
259[[folder:Web Comics]]
260* In the webcomics by Creator/AGnosis, most of the gods are this, but Dionysos more so than others. [[http://a-gnosis.deviantart.com/art/Lysios-Lenaios-503484537 Yes, he's a guy. He's just that pretty.]]
261* Several in ''Webcomic/BratHalla'':
262** Frigg doesn't look a day past her 30s.
263** The goddesses of beauty competing in the Pantheon Games
264** Hel. But [[{{Squick}} only from the waist up]].
265** Sif [[ShesAllGrownUp becomes one]] in storylines set in the future.
266** Balder is a male example, seeing as he's a god of beauty himself.
267* Though she was mentioned above under Tabletop [=RPGs=] she deserves special mention here as well due to her inclusion in the ''{{Webcomic/Drowtales}}'' comic's creation myth. Here, Sharess did not start off as a Goddess, but through her own actions in the story she becomes a Goddess to her people, even if she doesn't actually control their fates or anything of that sort. She does however sort of Ascend to a higher plane [[spoiler: When she transfers her Aura to the Nether Planes to battle the Nether Gods which enables her to close the various portals to the Nether Planes that were plaguing her people at the time. Once in the Nether Plane she shatters herself into shards, the most recent of which, according to a Daydream Story, is essentially a Goddess for the people in that world who can manipulate the very fabric of reality in that world by simply wishing it to be manipulated.]]
268** Also of note in the same Webcomic is the Vloz'ress Ill'haress Kharla'ggen whose aura is so massive that she is essentially a Goddess herself. Unfortunately she has a High Sorcery that turns people into inanimate objects that are still alive. And she is just insane enough to use it liberally to create her infamous doll collection.
269*** Being elves, both ladies are naturally exceedingly hot by human standards. Though in Kharla's case it is questionable since the reader never really gets to see her face, except for when she was really young.
270** Other Drowtales candidates for Hot Gods include Sha'sana [[spoiler:(arguably the oldest living entity in that world as of Pre-Timeskip)]], Ash'Warren [[spoiler:(Arguably the second oldest living entity in that world as of Post-Time Skip, and also the single strongest Empath in the entire story, and thus possibly the only power-check on Kharla.)]], both of whom have absolutely massive auras rivaling Kharla's, Khaless [[spoiler:(A Demon of unknown max-power-levels)]], Kiel'ndia [[spoiler:(only person to achieve what is termed the Safe-Taint without Snadhya'rune helping them, and arguably just as powerful as Khaless but for the polar opposite reasons, and the only person who has managed to TAME a [[EldritchAbomination Glutton Demon]]...)]], and of course Snadhya'rune herself [[spoiler:(the Chessmaster and evil mastermind of the entire series, possibly not very powerful in her own right, but she is smarter than everyone else in the series (except possibly Sha'sana), including her mother who was the reigning Empress of the Unified Drow Kingdoms before she was forced to abandon her own body for a slave's in order to escape.)]]
271* Some of the [[DimensionLord Demiurges]] in ''WebComic/KillSixBillionDemons'', though not necessarily all the time.
272** Mottom was originally a consort of the GodEmperor she would replace. He picked her for her looks, and it showed. She can still appear in the form of a youthful beauty with a NavelDeepNeckline... although she also doesn't mind appearing as a monstrously aged crone, either.
273** Incubus, fitting his having a name originally referring to SuccubiAndIncubi, repeatedly appears in the protagonist's dreams as a bare-chested pretty boy, though most of his real-world appearances as of the middle of "King of Swords" have tended to have him looking much more worn out and less fancy.
274** Solomon David is very tall, very muscular, and generally flawless-looking.
275* Agni from ''Webcomic/{{Kubera}}''. Punnily enough, a fire god.
276[[/folder]]
277
278[[folder:Web Original]]
279* ''Roleplay/FireEmblemOnForums'' has a few examples:
280** ''[[Roleplay/FireEmblemOnForumsLiberationOfIzzarra Liberation Of Izzarra]]'': The goddess Rhea, who was TakenForGranite after the first murder out of grief, was reputed to be the most beautiful being in existence.
281** ''[[Roleplay/FireEmblemOnForumsChainsOfHorai Chains of Horai]]'': Asha, the goddess of ice and love who is seen in the intro, is fairly attractive.
282** ''[[Roleplay/FireEmblemOnForumsWonderfulBlessing Wonderful Blessing]]'': The Goddess Dragons are this as a rule, with Freya fitting this as a LoveGoddess. Serena is more cute than beautiful, however, as is her sister Discordia.
283* In ''Roleplay/TheGamersAlliance'', Artemicia and Hivena, the Goddesses of Healing and Love, are very beautiful.
284* Subverted in ''Webcomic/SweetBroAndHellaJeff'': The trope is mentioned by name, but it's actually a misspelled hot ''dog''.
285* All the New Olympians at [[SuperheroSchool Whateley Academy]] in the ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse''. The avatar of Aphrodite, in particular, likes to use her beauty and lust aura to manipulate men. Fey, as one of the Nine Queens of the ancient Sidhe would count too.
286[[/folder]]
287
288[[folder:Western Animation]]
289* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'': The Avatar tends to take the form of an attractive human. So far, all the known Avatars (Wan, Yangchen, Kuruk, Kyoshi, Roku [[IWasQuiteALooker in his younger days]], Aang [[KidHeroAllGrownUp as an adult]], and Korra) have all looked pretty damn good.%%The Painted Lady and [[spoiler:Yue the moon spirit]] could also be considered examples.%%"Could be"?
290* ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'': Eris, the goddess of chaos. Blonde and with a curvy body.
291* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': Princess Celestia is a PhysicalGod who raises the sun. She's also drawn in such a way that indicates she is meant to be a radiant beauty among the pony folk.
292* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' has a woman known only as the Daughter, the physical embodiment of the light side of the Force. A slender beauty clad in [[GoldAndWhiteAreDivine white and gold]], with an [[PhosphorEssence angelic glow]], green hair that seems to float in the air behind her, and a NavelDeepNeckline on top of that.
293* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'': Blue Diamond is very elegant and beautiful and has fairly curvaceous figure to match. She is also an immensely powerful PhysicalGoddess who can shrug off having a entire barn and then two spaceships slammed onto her head.
