History Main / CuteMonsterGirl

* 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]] Kitai with RapunzelHair" look with a few too many insectile features and a frightening lack of understanding of human emotion.

* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' has [[PrettyPrincessPowerhouse Princess Bubblegum]] (a candy person [[MeaningfulName made of gum]]), [[CuteAndPsycho Flame Princess]] ([[MeaningfulName a fire elemental]]), and [[VampireMonarch Marceline]] (a shapeshifting vampirised half-demon HalfHumanHybrid). Flame Princess and Princess Bubblegum are the most extreme examples, as the other (mostly male) fire elementals and Candy People look much less humanoid than they do. However, other female characters and creatures are varying flavours of weird; Lumpy Space Princess, for example, is basically a sapient cloud. In the GenderFlip episodes Ice Queen is very much less repulsive than the Ice King, but most likely this is due to her being [[spoiler:Ice King's [[SelfInsertFic self insert]].]] Due to the fact that the cast has LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters. there are a few more. However, they're still outnumbered by the weird ones.

** Though, it gets occasionally subverted from time to time with She-Hulk [[StatusQuoIsGod (always temporarily)]] gaining an uglier, more monstrous form. One such occurrence was during ''ComicBook/AvengersDisassembled'' after she lost control of herself as a result of the Scarlet Witch's manipulations. ''ComicBook/TheAvengersJasonAaron'' has She-Hulk in a more muscular orgress form, but [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTX1UBbyIuqtlvevbSrC_z7Gp--BuG-MUw16g&usqp=CAU Jen’s face]] is still pretty comely.

* The ''Shadow over Innsmouth''-based BMovie ''Film/{{Dagon}}'' throws in a Deep One Cute Monster Girl by way of OurMermaidsAreDifferent. They still get to play the initial reveal of her monstrous, octopoidal features for horror somehow. This trope allows the movie to play a [[spoiler:romantic angle on the original TomatoInTheMirror ending]], giving it minor justification.

* [[http://gremlins.wikia.com/wiki/Greta Greta, the female gremlin]] from ''Film/Gremlins2TheNewBatch''. Technically, not a girl, since gremlins reproduce asexually, but looks and ''behaves'' like one. Resulted from gremlins [[GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke playing in a genetics lab]]. [[spoiler:So cute, that authors did not kill her with the rest of gremlins.]]

* In ''Film/Venom2018'', [[spoiler:Eddie's love interest Ann quickly bonds with the symbiote and becoming She-Venom. Unlike her male counterpart, she has a very shapely and voluptuous figure instead of a bulky one when Eddie turns into Venom]].

* Marilyn Munster in ''Series/TheMunsters''. Unlike the other members of the family, she looks like a normal -- and beautiful -- human girl (although the other members of the family see her as ugly). She shares some of the other members' inhumanness like her very low body temperature.

** The Vidiians suffer from [[BodyHorror a disfiguring disease called the Phage]], but strangely the Doctor's love interest Denara Pel still retains some of her facial good looks. At least more than any other Vidiian we see.

* A common trope with ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' and ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' villainesses. The majority of villain teams are 3-4 male PeopleInRubberSuits and one hot (and very human) DarkChick whose monster-ness clearly appears to be worn and not integral (often, there will also be one older male human leading them). Of ''Power Rangers'' series, every season has one except ''[[Series/PowerRangersZeo Zeo]]'', ''[[Series/PowerRangersMysticForce Mystic Force]]'', and every season after ''[[Series/PowerRangersRPM RPM]]'' -- which all still have attractive female villainesses, just of the rubber suit variety. There are even a few [[MonsterOfTheWeek Monsters of the Week]] who might qualify, such as [[Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy Icy Angel]], but they tended to be rare.

* Cordie the [[SpiderPeople spider girl]] (although she also seems to have features of other archnids) from ''WebAnimation/CliffSide'' has [[MultiArmedAndDangerous four]] pincers for hands, four spider legs under her dress, can shoot strong web lines, her two large eyes are actually made of bunches of four smaller eyes, she's incredibly naive, and has an enormous crush on Waylon, the [[BlatantLies shamelessly fraudulent]] protagonist who she was originally planning on eating. She's adorably cute ([[NightmareFace most of the time]]).

** Therkla, a half-orc ninja. While the males of the orcs we see aren't exactly any more ugly, mishappen, or inhuman than the females, this could be a limitation of the art style.

* Aracia Paukoobraznyy from ''Webcomic/ZooAcademy'' is a spider Bifera (part human part animal) and she's very cute despite other characters thinking she's a little scary.

** ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAndTheAlienInvaders'' 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.

** Star looks like a fourteen year old girl with heart tattoos on her cheeks. She transformed temporarily into a monsterous butterfly-like form during mewberty, yet still looked adorable despite being terrifying.

[[caption-width-right:244:"Why are you running away?"]]

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'':

* ''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.)

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. See also BoyMeetsGhoul.

** Among the main characters there's DarkMagicalGirl Raven, the daughter of an EldritchAbomination PhysicalGod and a human (well, Azarathian anyway) woman. Most of the time, she looks like a cute human girl, save for her pale skin and purple eyes and hair (and in their {{animesque}} world, it's hard to say [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair just how unusual even some of those traits are]]). The [[YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry angrier she gets]], though, the more her father's monstrous traits start showing: when she has four glowing red eyes, an elongated body, and is spewing Lovecraftian amounts of darkness tendrils from her cloak, it's time to start running. Fast!

* ''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'' has several nymphs. They look like ordinary girls, but they have [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair unusual haircuts]]. They are also described as exceptionally pretty.

** 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.

* While the regular ComicBook/IncredibleHulk is generally seen as a berserk, hideously muscular, unintelligent monster when in Hulk form, ComicBook/SheHulk is just a somewhat larger, stronger, greener version of her human counterpart. Originally, the explanation was that an individual mutated by gamma rays subconsciously determines their transformed appearance; the Hulk transforms into a hulking angry brute because of Bruce Banner's repressed anger, the Abomination transforms into a hideous freak due to his inner self-loathing, and She-Hulk transforms into an AmazonianBeauty because of her subconscious desire to look like the ideal woman.

** Beast Boy covers Cute Monster Boy, with his green skin, pointed ears, and CuteLittleFangs.

** Though, it gets occasionally subverted from time to time with She-Hulk [[StatusQuoIsGod (always temporarily)]] gaining an uglier, more monstrous form. One such occurrence was during ''ComicBook/AvengersDisassembled'' after she lost control of herself as a result of the Scarlet Witch's manipulations. ''ComicBook/JasonAaronsAvengers'' has She-Hulk in a more muscular orgress form, but [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTX1UBbyIuqtlvevbSrC_z7Gp--BuG-MUw16g&usqp=CAU Jen’s face]] is still pretty comely.

** Betty Ross' original gamma mutate form, the Harpy, was basically Betty Ross-as-She-Hulk with the wings and legs of a giant bird. Her Red She-Hulk form is a crimson-skinned AmazonianBeauty. Sadly, her Red Harpy form is just plain hideous.

** ComicBook/JubileeMarvelComics becomes this after becoming a vampire.

* When Stella got turned into a monster in the ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'' episode "Fairy and the Beast", she was still pretty cute. A green-skinned, sharp-toothed, [[FrogMen amphibious monster girl]], [[BigBeautifulWoman with a nice fat layer as well]].

** As of the Matt Smith era, the female Silurians are [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcS9ybL-XNbkjk_0xZWFHPx_rG0I1nAOnovSBSUhQYY66uEfNMod this]]. Though they hide their features with more reptilian masks, when the Doctor takes the mask off first words out his mouth are [[{{Understatement}} "You're beautiful"]].

* The Monster Girl Encyclopedia revolves entirely around this trope ([[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin as the name states]]). A [[HornyDevil Succubus]] ascends to the position of DemonKingMaoh, falls in love with and corrupts the Hero, and together they try to end the conflict between Man and Monster by transforming all the monsters and demons of the world into half-succubi and turning their [[HatePlague increased Hatred and Aggression]] into Lust and Affection. It [[GoneHorriblyWrong doesn’t quite go]] as [[GoneHorriblyRight well as they hoped]].

** Female Buus unlike their male counterparts have voluptuous builds and way cuter than the fat male-Buu, they're so attractive they give the female Saiyans a run for their money and males in game express their attraction towards them. [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonball/images/b/bd/Taino.png/revision/latest/top-crop/width/360/height/450?cb=20170125012230 Taino]] and [[http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonball/images/9/9c/MissBoo%28DBO%29.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130901085335 Titima]] are definitely stands outs.

*** Baby Piccolo [[http://pm1.narvii.com/6467/0adf6098b4934367a4cf98cd63e616a88768fa1e_hq.jpg is kinda cute and gross]].

* 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. 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 Dean and later outright says that a reaper is [[AFormYouAreComfortableWith seen however the reaper chooses to be perceived]].

** Frederica is a quarter of an [[ALittleBitBeastly animal person]], and because of this she has [[ScaryTeeth sharp fangs]] in her mouth. Subaru thinks she'd be a really pretty woman if it weren't for those fangs. Plus, she can turn into a [[PantheraAwesome giant panther]] too.
