* As it's name implies, the Curious Cat from WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} is this. [[spoiler: And he HATES IT. He spends the entirety of volume 9 trying to psychologically ''break'' Ruby in order to take possession of her, hoping to escape the Ever After and find his creators in order to demand an answer as to why they abandoned him after "cursing" him with curiosity, with his primary method of doing so being to constantly pepper her with questions that remind her just how badly she's failed at stopping Salem's plans.]]

* As it's name implies, the Curious Cat from WebAnimation{{RWBY}} is this. [[spoiler: And he HATES IT. He spends the entirety of volume 9 trying to psychologically ''break'' Ruby in order to take possession of her, hoping to escape the Ever After and find his creators in order to demand an answer as to why they abandoned him after "cursing" him with curiosity, mainly doing so by asking questions designed to rub her nose in her failures.]]

* An interesting variant in ''VideoGame/TearsToTiara2'' in that Tart, the one ConstantlyCurious, is ReallySevenHundredYearsOld. She's curious because she's a God/Elf and spends most of her time living underground.

Contrast CuriousAsAMonkey, which describes someone who believes in discovering how things work by experiment. A Constantly Curious person is a more persistent nuisance but doesn't make trouble on quite so grand a scale. Will often be palmed off with LiesToChildren, but this frequently doesn't work as the next thing they do is poke holes in the simplified explanation.

* Eru Chitanda of ''Literature/{{Hyouka}}'' is essentially made of this trope. Once something catches her interest, [[CatchPhrase she can't stop thinking about it]].

* ''Anime/KemonoFriends'': [[CatGirl Serval]] responds with her CatchPhrase ("Su~goi!!" (Amazing!!)) to any new discovery.

* In ''Film/{{Religulous}}'', Bill Maher uses this tactic during his interviews with religious believers:

'''Miles:''' I'm a kid -- that's my job.

* ''Webcomic/{{Nebula}}'': Earth, in total innocence, asks the questions no one else wants to- like what's beyond the solar system, or what Jupiter plans to ''[[AndThenWhat do]]'' if he succeeds in replacing Sun as leader. This really doesn't endear her to the others, especially since [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority Sun]] makes it clear that he thinks questions are irrelevant at best and dangerous at worst.

* ''ComicBook/TheSandman'': In the story arc "Brief Lives", Dream is more or less guilted into chaperoning Delirium around trying to track down their missing brother, and all through the sequence Del keeps asking "What's the word for [insert thing there isn't a word for]?" She's generally ignored, to the point that the reader usually gives up trying to find answers to questions that clearly don't have them. [[spoiler:Eventually she asks "What's the word for things not being the same always?" as they're driving away, and Dream answers "Change."]] It's quite nicely done.

* ''WesternAnimation/Luca'': The titular character is a young sea monster who is eager to learn about the surface and how humans live.

* ''ComicBook/Hilda'': The titular character, because of her adventurous drive, is always eager to know and understand the fantastic creatures around her, sometimes even to her own detriment.
