History Main / CuteMonsterGirl

Subtrope of MonstrousHumanoid. Related to MoeAnthropomorphism and Gijinka in FanArt circles. Often subject to FantasticArousal. Compare [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Cute Alien Girl]], [[AdorableAbomination Cute Eldritch Abomination Girl]], [[HumanoidFemaleAnimal Cute Humanoid]] [[LittleBitBeastly Animal Girl]], CuteGhostGirl, AttractiveZombie, FemBot, RobotGirl, SeductiveMummy, and SlimeGirl. Related to YouSexyBeast, although males are the more common recipient of that. Also related is GiantWoman, since the majority of giantesses are portrayed as sexually attractive.

** [[spoiler: Fangirls were able to look past Dain's monstrous and demonic appearance (upon his revealing himself a [[VoluntaryShapeshifting Ol]]) and still squeal over him. Despite Dain being a heavy case of EvilMakesYouUgly before Lief kills him]].

* Gali, or Galacta, daughter of ComicBook/{{Galactus}}. She appears to be an attractive human woman.

** Female Igors, known as Igorinas, are every bit as svelte and beautiful as their male counterparts are deformed, hunchbacked, and misshapen. Handwaved by the fact that Igors of both sexes are crazy-talented at all forms of surgery, including cosmetic, and as Igors are devoted followers of "tradithion" it is probably that male Igors remain ugly because male assistants to {{Mad Scientist}}s are ''supposed'' to be ugly, just as female assistants are meant to be beautiful. Most Igorinas have one visible stitchmark, just to show they're Igors There is only one subversion in ''Literature/MonstrousRegiment'' with [[spoiler:well, Igor, a SweetPollyOliver who has used the abovementioned surgery skills to resemble a male Igor, and keeps her hair in her pack. Not as a keepsake, but so she can stitch it back on later]].

** Male trolls, especially as drawn by Paul Kidby, resemble vaguely humanoid piles of rocks. Female trolls, most notably Kidby's version of Ruby, resemble human women made of stone (although more BigBeautifulWoman than "cute"). There's one exception in, again, ''Literature/MonstrousRegiment'' with [[spoiler: Carborundum/Jade, who is described in the book as an absolutely classic (male) troll, and appears as such on Kidby's cover. She later explains "I'm nat'rally craggy. I don't see why I should polish", implying that, like the Igors, the difference between male and female trolls is an artificial one.]]

* In the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' books female Igors, known as Igorinas, are every bit as svelte and beautiful as their male counterparts are deformed, hunchbacked, and misshapen. Handwaved by the fact that Igors of both sexes are crazy-talented at all forms of surgery, including plastic, and as Igors are devoted followers of "tradithion" it is probably that male Igors remain ugly because male assistants to {{Mad Scientist}}s are ''supposed'' to be ugly, just as female assistants are meant to be beautiful. There is only one subversion in ''Literature/MonstrousRegiment'' with [[spoiler:well, Igor; although this is something of a continuity bust, because the character is part of the overall Sweet Polly Oliver scenario, and no one seems to spot this]].

* Every single girl except for Kyoko (Tsukune's cute but human cousin) in ''Manga/RosarioToVampire''. They spend the most of their time hiding their monster traits, though, so they look completely human except during fights, and when transformed the main gals (and many of the supporting cast) are STILL cute (Moka is devastatingly so, Kurumu becomes ultra exotic, etc.).

* ComicBook/LadyDeath's villain ComicBook/{{Purgatori}} is a rather unique creature: a vampire distantly descended by [[FallenAngel fallen angels]]. She has a demonic appearance with crimson skin, horns and wing, but she still looks extremely gorgeous and tends to dress in {{Stripperiffic}} outfits.

* In ''WesternAnimation/ScreamStreet'' Cleo the mummy fits this trope, as do "Cute Monster Boys" Resus the vampire (with his CuteLittleFangs) and Luke the werewolf (though not so much when he's in his full wolf form!). Series 2 also adds another [[CuteMonsterGirl cute]] [[FrankensteinsMonster Frankenstein's]] [[CuteMonsterGirl monster girl]] in the form of Six.

* In ''WesternAnimation/ScreamStreet'' Cleo the mummy fits this trope, as do "Cute Monster Boys" Resus the vampire (with his CuteLittleFangs) and Luke the werewolf (though not so much when he's in his full wolf form!)

** ComicBook/{{Jubilee}} becomes this after becoming a vampire.

* ''WebVideo/DrCrafty'' has Nurse Worse, the lab assistant of the titular doctor. Her design evokes FrankensteinsMonster with stitched green skin and metal bolts on her head and arms, but she's also a BigBeautifulWoman who provides helpful commentary on the process for Dr. Crafty's creations.

* ''Franchise/LapisReLights'' has IV Klore, a DarkMagicalGirl IdolSinger unit composed of Emilia (a succubus), Salsa (a werewolf), α ("Alpha", a {{Magitek}} RobotMaid), and Garnet (a CuteGhostGirl). They mostly resemble humans with some clearly inhuman features or behaviors like CuteLittleFangs, RedEyesTakeWarning, or partial transparency, and are referred to as "Demi-Humans" in-universe. Salsa and Emilia are hinted at as having more monstrous forms they can shift into, however.

* The ''Franchise/StarWars: Comicbook/{{Legacy}}'' comics have made almost a running gag of "prettying up" females of various alien races - [[https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Darth_Maladi Darth Maladi]] and [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Kee_(smuggler) Kee]] are good examples, and contrast [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Nakia_Yoru Nakia]], a female Anzat, with a [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/File:AnzatNEGAS.jpg typical male example]] of the same species (at least her husband wasn't exactly ugly either). There's also a quite good-looking male Twi'lek (compared to the films, anyway) like Shado.

* Franchise/{{Buffyverse}}, Joss Whedon being Joss Whedon this trope happens more often in both [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Buffy]] and [[Series/{{Angel}} Angel]]. Though to his credit, hideous monster girls are more common

* ''Series/GoodOmens2019''

* ''Series/{{HerculesTheLegendaryJourneys}}'': Already Herodot said Herc and Echidna made hot love (the series version isn't very cute though). So it's not surprising her daughter, the She-Demon has [[IncrediblyLamePun a crush]] on him too. (He doesn't fall for her charms - a snake tail isn't a turn on for anybody[[superscript:[=[=]''[[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom citation needed]]''[=]=]]] - and things go rapidly downhill.)

** Medusas, [[GorgeousGorgon unsurprisingly]], [[ZigZaggingTrope zigzag]] depending on the edition. Those in 1st edition were horribly ugly, 2nd edition made them very comely if you could look past the snake hair (without being TakenForGranite), 3rd edition kept the comely bodies but the effect was somewhat marred by the scales [[ButterFace and a face that looked like a cross between a viper and a hag]], and 4th edition seems to go for a middle-of-the-road approach. ''TableTopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'' (aka [[FanNickname D&D 3.75]]), meanwhile, takes the "playmate with mildly scaly skin and snakes for hair" road.

** ''TableTopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'''s driders (spider-centaurs) are sexually dimorphic. The females look like beautiful drow women from the waist up (except for the fangs), and their black widow-like lower bodies have a certain elegant sleekness. The males have bulkier and more arachnid features.

* ''Tabletopgame/YuGiOh'':

* ''[[WebAnimation/SAtina Satina (Wants a Glass Of Water)]]'': Satina herself has basically ''every'' [[MOe personality trait]] and [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter design feature]] that you could ever want from the world's cutest demon girl, most notably her ''astonishingly'' round head, her bendable-by-emotions horns that are shaped like giant cat ears, her pitifully-yet-adorably tiny wings, her big and pudgy hands, her Main/CuteLittleFangs, her [[HumanlikeFootAnatomy even cuter little feet]], her also-extremely-cute little tail, her [[TheCutie youthful innocence]], and her extremely sweet-and-girly-sounding voice. In fact, her own parents often underestimate how dangerous she actually is due to said ludicrously extreme cuteness of hers.
** Lucia (Satina's mother) also easily qualifies as an example of the trope, as well as a ''major'' [[MsFanservice Ms. Fanservice]] of her show; she's basically an [[GiantWoman incredibly massive]] grown-up version of her aforementioned daughter, with the [[NonMammalMammaries surprisingly]] [[CurvesInAllTheRightPlaces potent]] [[HartmanHips sex]] [[TsunDere appeal]] to match. Satina's father is ''such'' a lucky guy for ''[[DidYouJustRomanceCthulhu so]]'' [[HotSkittyOnWailordAction many]] [[HotMom reasons]].

* ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'': Any time you see a fembot, it's a safe bet she'll look like a robotic swimsuit model, while male transformers look as bulky and blocky as you'd expect. (Strika from ''Animated'' is an exception.) Becomes even more confusing when you consider that Cybertronians don't reproduce sexually and has literally no need for a gender concept. The developers didn't even want female transformers to begin with, as they believed their customer base (young boys) wouldn't like girl toys. Until they hit puberty, maybe...

* Mayu of ''LightNovel/GoshuushouSamaNinomiyaKun''. For a succubus, she's cute, busty, and DoesNotLikeMen. She's training to work on the last part, though. Later, her [[spoiler:friend and love rival Reika]] is revealed to be a succubus as well, albeit without the Androphobia, instead having a healthy dose of CannotSpitItOut.

* Mavis Dracula in ''WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvania'', a vampire girl with a pixie haircut and CuteLittleFangs.

* Attea from ''WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse''. In her first appearance back in ''[[WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce Alien Force]]'' she was an adorable looking (if bratty and insane) frog girl. Then she popped back up in Omniverse looking like [[http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130306104402/ben10/images/9/9e/Attea_OV.png this.]]

* Charlie from WebAnimation/HazbinHotel is utterly adorable for someone who is suppose to be the princess of Hell. She is constantly smiling and her goal is to redeem sinners so they don't have die to deal with the overpopulation problem.
