History Main / CuteMonsterGirl

* VideoGame/RagnarokOnline has a lot of these. Some examples: Moonlight Flower, Loli Ruri, Succubus, Valkyrie, Isis, Alice, Aliza. There are also many male examples.

* Snapdragon Fahrenheit, along with a number of other students (including a gorgon, a succubus and a Jotun) at the Doc Mars Academy, from Webcomic/HowToRaiseYourTeenageDragon all fall well within this trope.

* The {{H-Game}} VisualNovel ''MonsterGirlQuest'' is filled with these. They are actually all a OneGenderRace who rely on human males to reproduce [[EroticEating and as a]] [[ImAHumanitarian food source]]. Be warned, as YourMileageMayVary: They range from this to [[BodyHorror downright]] [[NightmareFuel terrifying]].

* ''Main/{{Primal}}'' gives us little [[CreepyChild Elizabeth]] in the realm of Aetha since the inhabitants of this realm are all zombies/vampires. She loves to dance and carries a dead rat as if it were a plush toy.

* The {{H-Game}} VisualNovel ''MonsterGirlQuest'' is filled with these. They are actually all a OneGenderRace who rely on human males to reproduce. [[EroticEating And as a]] [[ImAHumanitarian food source]].

* Possibly subverted, possibly just avoided by LoisMcMasterBujold's Sgt. Taura, of the ''[[Literature/VorkosiganSaga Vorkosigan]]'' books: a [[HalfHumanHybrid human/animal hybrid]] [[SuperSoldier superwarrior]] who happens to be 8 feet tall, fanged and clawed, and [[BoobsOfSteel built like a brick firehouse]]. (Miles Vorkosigan, her sometime lover, is half her size at most.) She's described as striking and attractive in her own way, but hardly the bikini model in face-paint one might have expected.

* In ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'', though they all look human, the male reapers usually look like balding old people that can keel over anytime, while female reapers are all at least conventionally attractive.
** Not true: the first time we see a female reaper it resembles a shade with wild hair. It then disguises itself as a conventional human to interact with [[spoiler:Dean]] and later outright says that a reaper is seen however the reaper chooses to be perceived.

Cute Monster Girls sometimes create the UnfortunateImplications (especially Type 1) that [[DoubleStandard the males of an intelligent species can look like whatever they want, but the females]] must ''always'' be attractive to male humans (because [[MarsNeedsWomen Men Need Martians]]!). [[Literature/ThroughTheLookingGlass Contrariwise]], it also implies that sex appeal is ''only'' important to said females. Beyond that it suggests that male monsters should be [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman killed]], while the females should be [[BoldlyComing screwed]]. Of course, this all stems from MostWritersAreMale so most times MaleGaze is at work.

** ''MonstersUniversity'' splits this trope down the middle: Claire Wheeler and the [[HornyDevils Python Nu Kappa sisters]] are on the "cute" side, while the other sororities and Dean Hardscrabble are on the "monstrous" side.

* Almost the entire female cast of DailyLifeWithMonsterGirl, which features a Lamia, a centaur, a harpy, a slime, a mermaid, and an arachnid. And those are just the main six.

** The series also puts much more focus on the monster aspect of the characters, every chapter tends to explore an interesting aspect of their race beyond their superficial appearance. Suu dissolves in large bodies of water. Mia has trouble shedding her skin when she's stressed. Papi, like all harpies, has a small figure which helps her fly.

* ''Manga/DailyLifeWithMonsterGirl'' runs on this. So far there is a lamia, harpy, centaur, slime, arachne, and mermaid.

#The result of a common form of BizarreSexualDimorphism in fiction, in which the female members of a nonhuman species are much more attractive/less monstrous than the males.

** The Zora race in this game's incarnation exhibit sexual dimorphism, where the females resemble humans by having clearly human faces and body shapes, while the males are distinctively more piscean-looking.

** With so many examples of this trope, inevitably it is occasionally subverted. Kogasa ([[http://www.obakemono.com/obake/karakasaobake/ a karakasa]]) is explicitly ''both'' the girl with the blue dress and MismatchedEyes ''and'' the umbrella she's holding. In one of Maribel's dream-excursions to Gensokyo she is attacked by a youkai rabbit which she describes as looking like a monster rather than a girl. The various beast-type youkai have shown the ability to transform back into an animal form. Played with by Nue (a, well, [[http://www.obakemono.com/obake/nue/ nue]]), who is embarassed by how unscary her ShapeshifterDefaultForm is and goes to great lengths to hide it.

* ''PrincessResurrection'' has Riza Wildman; granted, she's at least half human, but the other half (and DEFINITELY the side she takes after) is a flesh tearing, vicious werewolf. There is also got [[FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire Reiri]], [[RobotGirl Flande]], as well as the main character Hime [[spoiler:whose a phoenix in human form]] among a few others.

* Shia, from ''Pita-Ten'', is a demon/demon's apprentice (depending on whether you're reading the manga or watching the anime,) but she looks completely human and is also very, very, very cute. The males in canon all fawn for her and many develop actual feelings for her, as well. Although, another demon is also shown, Klaus, and he's also cute in a shoujo kind of way, himself.

* ''LightNovel/KoreWaZombieDesuKa'' virtually every female introduced except Haruna a MagicalGirl and the [[ThoseTwoGirls two girls]] who are {{Muggle}}s.

** The movie about aliens near Area 51 has [[spoiler:the cute native girl Shaggy had the hots for''(!)'' -and who seemed to share his feelings'''''(!!)'''''- who was a real (benevolent) alien; she looked somewhat like a metallic-skinned [[TheGreys Grey alien]], but with an attractive human bodyshape and expressive facial features.]]

* Leela from ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'', a beautiful one-eyed woman descended from a race inflicted with all kinds of BodyHorror, is a particularly justified example: [[spoiler:her parents and people are formerly human, subterranean {{mutants}} and the fact that she happened to be born looking almost human is why they were able to pass her off as a HumanAlien and send her to the surface world for a better life than they could give her.]]

* Subverted in ''Literature/CodexAlera''. Her Imperial Bugginess the [[HiveQueen Vord Queen]] ''tries'', but mostly just manages to [[UncannyValley give everyone the creeps]] by combining a "[[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe green]] [[WhiteHairedPrettyGirl Kitai]] with RapunzelHair" look with a few too many insectile features and a frightening lack of understanding of human emotion.

* Ginormica from ''WesternAnimation/MonstersVsAliens''. Your basic WhiteHairedPrettyGirl, [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever super-economy size]].

* ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' has a few of these, most notably Priscilla the Crossbreed, a 20 foot tall giant WhiteHairedPrettyGirl who happens to be half dragon. Quelaag and her [[NoNameGiven sister]] are beautiful women with horrible lava spiders for lower bodies.
