History FluffyTheTerrible / WebComics

* In ''WebComic/Can'tBuyHappiness'', during [[https://twitter.com/ChikoritaCheez/status/1553076269293740034 an argument with Sophie,]] Hazel namedrops the name of her pets: Cupcake, Sunshine, and Peaches. As Sophie raises her voice, Hazel warns her not to do that before three vicious-looking guard dogs come from off-screen to defend Hazel.

* ''Webcomic/{{Goblins}}'' supplies the page quote, in the form of an Owlbear, [[ColdBloodedTorture tortured]] over months by the guard quoted [[BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil in order to make it a killing machine.]] It works, [[spoiler:but [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/01102008/ not quite in the way]] the guard might have hoped]]. A little later in the comic we're introduced to "Mr. Fingers". [[spoiler: This is a very appropriate name since "Mr. Fingers" is an EldritchAbomination that is composed of pure {{Nightmare Fuel}}ed BodyHorror, [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/05062011/ one head, and unnumberable limbs that end in many-fingered hands]].]] After that, there's Biscuit the Orc. He was named after his favorite food as a child.

* The current page image as of June 2012 is Jared and [[FormallyNamedPet Mr. Fish]] the [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Gyarados]] from ''Webcomic/ManlyGuysDoingManlyThings''. To be fair, Mr. Fish was a Magikarp when Jared named him that, so it is an example of the second case of the "sometimes played with by writers" paragraph.

* ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'', while having its share of {{killer rabbit}}s, has a borderline example of this in the form of the large centipede called Fluffy -- it's small compared to a human, but it's large for a bug and considered scary and unpleasant by the humans in the strip. (It's the alien Aylee who considers it cute and gives it the name). Later, all its species get labelled "fluffies".
* Dragoon in ''Webcomic/EightBitTheater'' has a pet dragon named Muffin - who, like all dragons, he thinks is a parrot. She is also the world's most evil dragon that founded the order of Dragoons to kill all of the other dragons, without them knowing, and then killed all but one of them.
* ''Webcomic/SomethingPositive'' has the cutely named Choo-Choo Bear and Twitchy-Hug. The former, while terribly cute, is a shapeshifter, occasionally prone to fits of psychotic and homicidal violence. The latter was quite clearly homicidal. That's OK, though. Choo-Choo Bear had him shot. Then Davan made the remains into an ashtray.
* In ''WebComic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja'', Dr. McNinja's gorilla receptionist, who is known to take out hunters of giant lumberjacks and go toe-to-toe with velociraptors (named [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Yoshi]]), is named Judy.
* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'':
** Mr. Scruffy TookALevelInBadass by slaughtering a 1st level commoner - ''with one scratch''.
** Subverted with Little Whiskers the tiger. He's actually less threatening than Mr. Scruffy.

* Variation: ''Webcomic/{{Lackadaisy}}'' features the "Sunshine Special", a perfectly cheery name for a train, but that's hardly reassuring to Rocky when he's [[ChainedToARailway nailed to its tracks]]. The comic also includes a mob boss named Asa ''Sweet'' and little orange tabby over there who massacres a group of people while laughing maniacally? He's known as ''Freckle'' to his cousin.

* ''Webcomic/SequentialArt'' has [[ShowWithinAShow in-universe]] {{MMORPG}} "[[FictionalCounterpart Realm of Lorcraft]]" where the fearsome beast named Pickles scared everyone. An incredibly frightening and powerful creature is a [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=261 little, bug-eyed chihuahua-looking]] ''[[KillerRabbit puppy]]'' who can turn himself inside out. (See the start of that storyline [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=252 right here]]).

* ''Webcomic/CollegeRoomiesFromHell'' fans know the tentacle goo monster that spawned in the guy's kitchen as 'Mr. Friendly'.
* ''The Scout Report'', a ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' comic, features a hunter detailing the advanced features of her pet in a two-paragraph lecture ending as follows:
-->'''Scout:''' ...he can sneak up behind an orc, rip his throat out, eviscerate the corpse, and pee on the bloody entrails in four point two seconds. I've timed it.\\
'''Dorna:''' That's... nice. What's his name?\\
'''Scout:''' Precious.
* In a now-outdated Penn State in-joke, the first giant monster to appear in ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob'' was the mighty People-Eating Poly-Sorbate Insectoid: a "P.E.P.S.I." Snookums, in his original [[{{Kaiju}} giant monster]] form would fit this trope as well, except that Snookums is harmless.
* The strongest fighter in all of ''Webcomic/TheNoordegraafFiles'' is an emaciated sixteen year old girl named Violet. Doesn't sound so bad, right? She's also six foot eight, has a temper worthy of legend, and flies into a homicidal rage when angered. Everyone, including her closest friends, fears her to some extent.
* ''Webcomic/AModestDestiny'' has the Vampire Lord Fluffy, [[http://www.squidi.net/comic/amd/view.php?series=amd&ep=2&id=1 whose name was enough to strike fear into the heart of even the most brave]]. He has VillainDecay as a backstory. [[spoiler: The decay is later subverted with a vengeance.]]
* Yuki from ''Webcomic/MegaTokyo'' gets a pet {{FunSize}}d [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot zombie]] [[{{Kaiju}} 'zilla]]. She names him Zom-Zom-chan and ties all the pieces that fall off him back on with ribbons.
* The title character of ''Webcomic/TheGoodWitch'' is named [[VillainProtagonist Angel]], and her titular role as "the Good Witch" is explicitly to use her powers to help people and do good things. She's a [[TheSociopath self-centered sociopath]] who instead devotes her powers exclusively to making her own life better and amusing herself. Namely by transforming people at random into whatever she thinks would be fun, such as repeatedly {{Gender Bend|er}}ing a specific guy to mess with his head, or converting local kids into clothing for her mother's store. The comic has been described as a DarkerAndEdgier take on ''Webcomic/TheWotch''.

* In ''Webcomic/LifeWithLamarr'', Magnusson has a T-Rex that can [[EnergyWeapon fire laser from its eyes]], called Mr. Nibbles, and a ninja [[VideoGame/HalfLife2 Fast Headcrab]] called Noodles.
* ''Webcomic/{{Housepets}}'' has a gator named Fluffy, with an apparent history of eating other pets.
* The current page image as of June 2012 is Jared and [[FormallyNamedPet Mr. Fish]] the [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Gyarados]] from ''Webcomic/ManlyGuysDoingManlyThings''. To be fair, Mr. Fish was a Magikarp when Jared named him that, so it is an example of the second case of the "sometimes played with by writers" paragraph.
* Arthur in ''Webcomic/{{Wondermark}}'' was seen riding a [[http://wondermark.com/501/ piranhamoose]] and calling him "Fluffy".

* ''Webcomic/TheGamerCat'' has the main character angering a big, intimidating cat who later reveals his name as "Sweet". He turns out to be calmer once Glitch invites him to play VideoGame/SuperMario3DWorld. [[spoiler: Sweet choses to play as Peach]].
* ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'' has the tall and quietly intimidating combat droid named Bubbles. Meanwhile, her employer, a rather ordinary-looking purple robot, is named [[DeathbringerTheAdorable Corpse Witch]].
* Taking into account the powers Beings have in ''Webcomic/ButImACatPerson'', they have the capability to be this.
* Kor'la from ''Webcomic/{{EATATAU}}'' has a pet Great Knarloc he named Lily. For context, Great Knarlocs are T-Rex sized monsters used by the Kroot as beasts of war, and Kor'la says that Lily, who is already that big, is still just a baby.
* Of all the doctors in ''{{Webcomic/Sparklecare}}'', Dr. Cuddles is by far the most aggressive and violent. It's also worth mentioning he's a small pink squirrel.
* An interesting case seen in ''Webcomic/HoovesOfDeath'', because sugary names like Glitter, Blaze, Rose, or Sprinkles are fitting names for the ridiculously cute pastel unicorns they once were. After a few years of saving humanity from a ZombieApocalypse, even the background unicorns TookALevelInBadass and have the battle-scarred appearance to match.

* In ''Webcomic/LifeWithLamarr'', Magnusson has a T-Rex that can [[FrickinLaserBeams fire laser from its eyes]], called Mr. Nibbles, and a ninja [[VideoGame/HalfLife2 Fast Headcrab]] called Noodles.

* ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'', while having its share of {{killer rabbit}}s, has a borderline example of this in the form of the large centipede called Fluffy -- it's big compared to a human, but it's large for a bug and considered scary and unpleasant by the humans in the strip. (It's the alien Aylee who considers it cute and gives it the name). Later, all its species get labelled "fluffies".

** A Patterner cult are summoning a demon named...Kevin.

-->'''Tagon''': Oh, there's a nice, peaceful name. I assume it's one of [[spoiler:Petey's]] "Devastator" class warships.\\

* An interesting case seen in ''Webcomic/HoovesOfDeath'', because sugary names like Glitter, Blaze, Rose, or Sprinkles are fitting names for the ridiculously cute pastel unicorns they once were. However, since they've been fighting for years to save humanity from a ZombieApocalypse, even the background unicorns TookALevelInBadass and have the battle-scarred appearance to match.

* Of all the doctors in ''{{Webcomic/Sparklecare}}'', Dr. Cuddles is by far the most aggressive and violent. It's also worth mentioning he's a small pink squirrel.

* ''Webcomic/TheGamerCat'' has the main character angering a big, intimidating cat who later reveals his name as "Sweet". He turns out to be calmer once Glitch invites him to play SuperMario3DWorld. [[spoiler: Sweet choses to play as Peach]].
