* ''Series/Fallout2024'' does this to "The Ghoul" compared to the ghouls of the games. In the games, his kind are depicted as zombie-like monstrosities with rotting flesh, sunken eyes and lipless jaws. In contrast, besides his missing nose and baldness, "The Ghoul" looks like a unscarred human being with normal eyes and intact lips. Even his skin merely looks aged and leathery instead of rotten or disfigured. Several other ghouls with more minor roles vaccillate in terms of attractiveness, although the ferals by and large are much more conventionally zombie-like, with one in particular being severely burnt, with empty eye sockets and an exposed skull.

* ''Series/AlexRider'': [[TheDragon Eva Stellenbosch]] in the book was a champion weightlifter described as extremely ugly and borderline monstrous in appearance. The most flattering description is "like a man in drag" and she's explicitly compared to ''Film/KingKong''. In the series, she's played by Creator/AnaUlaru. [[invoked]]WordOfGod says this is because it was considered more interesting if she was intimidating for psychological rather than physical reasons.

* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959'': In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS3E89ToServeMan To Serve Man]]", the Kanamits are much less ugly than in the short story by Creator/DamonKnight. The story describes them as looking "something like pigs and something like people." They are short with snoutlike noses, small eyes and thick, bristly brown-grey hair all over their bodies and have three fingers on each hand. In the television adaptation, they are nine feet tall and have bulbous foreheads but resemble humans facially.
** "[[Recap/TheTwilightZone1959S3E8ItsAGoodLife It's a Good Life]]" does this with [[CreepyChild Anthony Fremont]]. While [[Literature/ItsAGoodLife the original short story]] never gives us a full description of Anthony's appearance, the mention of things like his "wet, purple gaze", "odd shadow", and the fact that when he was born the doctor was so horrified by his appearance that he tried to kill him suggest that he [[HumanoidAbomination doesn't quite look human]]. In the TV episode, he looks like [[TheyLookJustLikeEverybodyElse an ordinary child]].

* ''Series/TheToyCastle'': In the 1992 special ''The Tin Soldier'', the Goblin in the Jack-in-the-Box had heavy black makeup, exaggerated facial features, and generally looked very sinister. Here, his expressions are softened up, and he has larger eyes and a more genuine smile, making him look more approachable (fittingly, this Goblin also went through AdaptationalNiceGuy from an upfront villain to a JerkWithAHeartOfGold).

** Helmeppo, even after TakingALevelInBadass from a skinny fop to legitimate fighter, is far from good looking in the source material. Here he's played by Aidan Scott, a Mr. Fanservice whom even has a [[FemaleGazeFemale Gaze-y]] nude scene, showing off his ass in the very first episode, though he remains quite foppish.

* ''Series/DoomPatrol2019'':
** Downplayed with Mr. Nobody, who is still an abstract and formless being, but at least has part of a human-looking face after his transformation.
** This continuity's interpretation of Mr. 104 is portrayed by the handsome Creator/SendhilRamamurthy, when his comic counterpart was a gray-haired creep who was wrinkly and shifty-looking.

* ''Series/{{Percy Jackson and the Olympians|2023}}'': Due to Rick Riordan's preference of open-casting, some characters look far more conventionally attractive than how they are described in the books:
** In the books, Grover is said by Percy to look like he was held back several grades, as he's the only sixth-grader with acne and signs of a wispy beard on his chin. Here, he's clean-shaven and looks slightly more convincing as a sixth-grader (Creator/AryanSimhadri was 16 during filming).
** Clarisse is not exactly attractive according to Percy's description of her. Here, she's played by Creator/DiorGoodjohn, who is far easier on the eyes.
** Echidna's human disguise, a FatBastard in the book, is a fairly skinny woman here.
** Like Uma Thurman, Medusa is, for the second time, a young beautiful woman instead of a hideous old crone.
** Mr. D is not as chubby as Percy describes him as, something the books and the ''Sea of Monsters'' film adaptation kept true to. Here, he is ''very'' thin.
** Like Creator/JoePantoliano's interpretation of the character, Gabe Ugliano is pretty thin, but he has a full set of hair instead of being bald.

* ''Series/OnePiece2023'':
** Usopp in the manga/anime does become more attractive and muscular later on, but still borders on {{Gonk}} with his GagNose and huge lips. Here he's played by the very handsome Jacob Romero with his comical schnoz getting removed for practicality reasons.
** Helmeppo, even after TakingALevelInBadass from a skinny fop to legitimate fighter, is far from good looking in the source material. Here he's played by Aidan Scott, a Mr. Fanservice whom even has a [[FemaleGazeFemale Gaze-y]] nude scene, showing off his ass in the very first episode, though he remains quite foppish.
** Sham is a creepy hunchback in the manga/anime, but due to getting a GenderLift is played by the attractive (and non-hunchedbacked) Bianca Oosthuizen instead.
