History Main / CuteMonsterGirl

* Mavis Dracula in ''WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvania'', a vampire girl with a pixie haircut and CuteLittleFangs. Winnie is a Werewolf pup and, until the sequels, is the only girl among her 300 brothers.

* Aquaria Innsmouth from ''Roleplay/FreedomCityPlayByPost'' acts like a Cute Monster Girl [[GenkiGirl with a bubbly personality]] who loves helping people - [[SubvertedTrope Subverted in that she looks hideous to Surface eyes.

Subtrope of MonstrousHumanoid and CuteMonster. 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, GorgeousGorgon, 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.

* ''Wiki/SCPFoundation'': While there's no images of her on the website, [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-811 SCP-811]] gives off the feel of this trope due to her simplistic third-person manner of speech and her child-like cheerfulness when she learns new things. It probably also helps that she [[spoiler:[[WasOnceAMan used to be a human being]]]].

* Most of the girls in Creator/SeananMcGuire's ''Literature/InCryptid'' novels.

* The ''Jade Regent'' Campaign from ''Podcast/RPGMP3'' features a character called Misty the [[HornyDevils Succubus]]. Misty is a [[TheDitz bubbly]], [[BrainlessBeauty bouncy]], [[DumbBlonde charmingly naïve]] teenage girl with [[BuxomIsBetter talents that make her invaluable to the team]]. She also happens to be a demonic Succubus from the deepest pits of the Abyss, who enjoys long walks on the beaches by the lakes of fire and brimstone, and [[CreepyGood occasionally starts singing while disemboweling people with her claws]]. She's really a very nice person, once you get to know her.

** All editions of the game are chock full of these, including gender-inverted versions. The odds of a Cute Monster Girl or Guy rise exponentially if that creature is being portrayed sympathetically. Tieflings are descended from fiendish creatures and often play this trope straight. Genasi and the various races like them are touched by elemental blood and often depicted as quite attractive. An occasional handsome or NubileSavage half-orc or even full orc will not surprise players. Then there are the not-that-monstrous sorts like tritons, merfolk, various nymphs, fae, giants, and so on, all of whom have a decent chance to be attractive in human eyes. In short, BeautyEqualsGoodness is frequently, but not always, in effect. Evil races get their chances, such as various yuan-ti creations of serpent people. Even demons and devils get in on it. Most versions are horrific, but [[HornyDevils those specifically intent on seduction and temptation]] are frequently beautiful. For a broad enough definition of "Monster," so do the celestial races, as they usually represent angels or even good takes on TheFairFolk (pre-4th Eladrin and Pathfinder's Azata).

* ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'' has Baby Blue and Fuchsia. They're Devil Girls (presumably succubi), so there's [[HornyDevils some]] [[EvilIsSexy justification]] for this. Also, [[{{Satan}} their boss]] is depicted as pretty handsome.

* ''Webcomic/WhiteDarkLife'' has a plethora of these, notably [[HornyDevils Artemis]] and [[SpiderPeople Entegra]]. The timeskip later introduces Damien and Inu, a pair of [[InvertedTrope Cute Monster Boys]].

* The Monster Girl Encyclopedia revolves entirely around this trope ([[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin as the name states]]). A [[HornyDevil Succubus]] ascends to the position of MaouTheDemonKing, 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]] towards Humans into Lust and Affection. It [[GoneHorriblyWrong doesn’t quite go]] as [[GoneHorriblyRight well as they hoped]].

* ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse'': Because of the various ways the Exemplar trait can manifest, and the various BodyHorror side effects of mutant powers, there are several inhuman-looking students on campus, some of whom are still reasonably attractive nonetheless. Notable instances include {{Kaiju}}[[note]]it is specifically stated in-story that [[BollywoodNerd Sadhira Patel]] got this codename from her resemblance to the 'Kaiju Girls' style of MoeAnthropomorphism FanArt which would give rise to the [[WebAnimation/KaijuGirls anime series of the same name]] a few years after she was introduced[[/note]], [[WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}} Demona]], [[SnakePerson Diamondback]], and [[HornyDevil Adore]]. One could argue that the Drow Swarm would count as well, though calling them 'monsters' in front of Jobe Wilkins[[note]]the MadScientist responsible for turning [[GenderBender herself]] and the rest into Drow[[/note]] would probably lead to you [[ForcedTransformation getting turned into]] a [[SpiderPeople drider]] or worse.

** Among the Flying Six there’s Ulti and Black Maria who unlike their male teammates are still quite cute and attractive when transformed into their [[EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs Pachycephalosaurus]] and [[SpiderPeople Rosamygale Grauvogeli]] forms respectively. In Maria's case this actually a InvokedTrope, as being [[ProudBeauty vain]] she disliked how [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E-R33VDXIAQOz4l.png ugly her hybrid form looked]] and took a drug similar to Chopper's Rumble Ball so that only her lower body is spider-like.[[spoiler: This becomes a crippling AchillesHeel when a CombatPragmatist like Robin targets her upper body in their fight.]]

* Holo from ''LightNovel/SpiceAndWolf'' is a ''very'' [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cit_spicy_wolf_-_Horo_-_in_a_field_-_elevens_dont_know_L_R.jpg cute girl]] with wolf ears and a big fluffy tail, both of which she keeps hidden under clothing when she wants to pass for human. Her true form is that of [[CanisMajor a wolf as large as a bus]], which is rather less cute.

* ''LightNovel/TsukimichiMoonlitFantasy'': Tomoe/Komoe, Mio, and [[spoiler:Shiki]] start out as an ancient dragon, a giant spider and [[spoiler:decrepit lich]], only to become highly attractive humans after becoming Makoto's Subordinates. To some extent, Ema and the other female Orcs, who tend to look more like cute pig {{Funny Animal}}s in dresses and so forth than the more standard monstrous portrayals, also fit the description.

* ''LightNovel/ReZero'':

* ''LightNovel/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'':

* ''LightNovel/SoICantPlayH'': All three of the shinigami females look human, until they assume [[TransformationSequence their true forms.]] Though they still [[LittleBitBeastly look mostly human]] afterward.

* ''LightNovel/SoImASpiderSoWhat'': Four of the Reincarnators were reborn as monsters rather than humans or elves. Of these, Sophia is the only one who was born a humanoid (being a vampire), and grew up to be very beautiful. The others all eventually either gained the ability to assume a human-like shape (Feirune, a lesser dragon), or evolved into a humanoid form (Wrath, a goblin), and all of them are at least moderately good-looking.

* Celty from ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}'' is a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dullahan Dullahan]] that looks like a beautiful, though deathly pale, woman from the neck down. From the neck up? Well, [[HeadlessHorseman she has no head]]. [[spoiler:When we ''do'' finally see her head, it's that of a cute, auburn-haired girl -- A far cry from the hideous, rotten-fleshed heads of the Dullahan of Celtic legend.]]

* The dragon Sylphid from ''LightNovel/TheFamiliarOfZero'' [[VoluntaryShapeshifting can change her shape]]. Her human form looks like an ordinary girl with blue hair.

* Mayu of ''LightNovel/GoodLuckNinomiyaKun''. 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.

* ''LightNovel/IsThisAZombie'': Virtually every female introduced, except Haruna, a MagicalGirl, and the two girls who are {{Muggle}}s.
* The animal people in ''LightNovel/IsItWrongToTryToPickUpGirlsInADungeon?'' could qualify, but they're not actually considered monsters in universe. [[spoiler: However, the Xenos ([[ItCanThink sapient versions of otherwise unthinking monsters]]) are. A DraconicHumanoid with an unusually human appearance ends up becoming a part of Bell's harem... and by extension, gets Bell into a lot of hot water, as Xenos suffer from FantasticRacism thanks to the perception that they must be AlwaysChaoticEvil.]]
* The manga anthology ''Jingai no Yome to Ichaicha suru'' is a collection of stories about human men and cute monster girls (vampire, kitsune, CuteGhostGirl, and DraconicHumanoid among others). Some are continued in the second volume.

* Various female demons in ''LightNovel/{{Maoyu}}''. Most notable is Grand Princess Fire Dragon, who is herself an attractive rather petite woman with only token nonhuman features; her father is a ten-foot-tall barely-anthropomorphic dragon-man. Maou might technically count, though she doesn't appear to be anything other than completely human most of the time.

* This is the point of the ''LightNovel/NyarukoCrawlingWithLove'' series, with bonus DidYouJustRomanceCthulhu levels. All the {{Eldritch Abomination}}s appear in completely humanoid (and rather cute) forms, but the most diabetes-inducingly cute character ([[spoiler:Hastur]]) is a boy.

* Emilia from ''LightNovel/ReZero'' is a beautiful [[OurElvesAreDifferent half-elf]] with silver-white hair and pointed ears. Subaru thinks she is the prettiest girl he has ever met.
** Ram and Rem are two [[{{Oni}} oni]]. Neither of them are visually different from humans, except that they have red (Ram) or blue (Rem) eyes and hair. And when they fight, a big horn grows on their foreheads.
** Frederica is a quarter of an [[LittleBitBeastly 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.

* Raphtalia from ''LightNovel/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'' is a pretty, feminine demi-human. The only thing that differentiates them from a human are their ears and their raccoon tail.
** Filo, who belongs to a breed of magical birds, is also added later. However, she has a human form in which she looks like a young girl with blonde hair, blue eyes and two white wings.

* ''LightNovel/SoICantPlayH'': All three of the shinigami females look human, until they assume [[TransformationSequence their true forms.]] Though they still [[LittleBitBeastly look mostly human]] afterward.
** Lisara: gains a small pair of bat wings that extend from the sides of her head and her irises change from red, to amber.
** Ilia's [[CuteLittleFangs fang]] enlarges slightly and a short gold and black horn grows from the center of her forehead.
** Quele's is the simplest transformation. She only grows a short pair of black horns on her head, which curve backward.
* ''LightNovel/SoImASpiderSoWhat'': Four of the Reincarnators were reborn as monsters rather than humans or elves. Of these, Sophia is the only one who was born a humanoid (being a vampire), and grew up to be very beautiful. The others all eventually either gained the ability to assume a human-like shape (Feirune, a lesser dragon), or evolved into a humanoid form (Wrath, a goblin), and all of them are at least moderately good-looking.
** The last one and the protagonist, "Kumoko", explicitly made it her goal to eventually achieve the Arachne evolution in order to gain the ability to communicate through speech. The result is a monstrous spider lower body (complete with massive scythe-like arms) with the upper body of a beautiful woman sticking out of its head. The human torso's appearance carries over [[spoiler:post-apotheosis]] into an eventual full-fledged human appearance (with the ability to [[VoluntaryShapeshifting freely switch between the Arachne and human forms]]), with the catch that [[MorphicResonance a few traits of her previous monster bodies]] ''[[MorphicResonance also]]'' [[MorphicResonance carried over]]; namely, her coloration and her spider eyes, rendering her a super pale white-haired woman wearing pure white clothes with [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eyes]] which have [[EyesDoNotBelongThere four pupils per eyeball.]]

* From the ''Literature/SeekersOfTruth'', Natalie Beckett aka Golem. Fairly attractive if you can ignore the stone skin. Apparently her boyfriend, Timothy Landerman aka Echidna, can. It helps that he's a venomous lobster-man.

** ComicBook/BettyRoss' 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 mostly plain hideous... although when [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRvXNB7Yq45QaH4q9bo0hQE4bC64UykL3_6_Q&usqp=CAU she’s not enraged]] she can come off as a downplayed GorgeousGorgon. [[spoiler: She’s still attractive enough as Red Harpy for Joe Fixit (one of Bruce’s split personality personas) to willingly sleep with her.]]

[[folder:Anime and Manga]]

* ''Animation/WhiteSnake2019'':

[[folder:Mythology and Religion]]

* ''Website/FourChan'', [[SarcasmMode always with infallible taste]], brought us (at least) Ebola-Chan, Zika-Chan, Malaria-chan and now Corona-chan. (If you miss Yersinia-Chan, she stars in an old ''ComicBook/{{Vampirella}}'' story, which goes back, maybe via a detour over [[Literature/TheMasqueOfTheRedDeath Poe]] to "Frau Pest" from German fairy tales, so it's OlderThanTheyThink. Not even mentioning [[Creator/OsamuTezuka Mode]], see Anime and Manga above.)

* ''Wiki/SCPFoundation'': While there's no images of her on the website, [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-811 SCP-811]] gives off the feel of this trope due to her simplistic third-person manner of speech and her child-like cheerfulness when she learns new things. It probably also helps that she [[spoiler:[[WasOnceAMan used to be a human being]]]].

* On ''Website/{{Tumblr}}'', [[https://imgur.com/a/240NK one user]] posted fan art of a gender-swapped ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'' and declared this would never happen, that guys would never give an "ugly" girl a chance. Someone who was aware of the Monster Girl Fandom and the UsefulNotes/FurryFandom was ''very'' quick to point out how wrong she was using this trope.

* {{WebAnimation/Hololive}}'s English branch features a shark, a phoenix, a {{Shinigami}}, and an EldritchAbomination.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' has the monstrous forms of Sunset Shimmer, Twilight Sparkle, Gloriosa Daisy, and Juniper Montage from the ''WesternAnimation/EquestriaGirls'' series, with Juniper's form being HollywoodHomely at absolute rock-bottom worst.

** Goku himself being a alien counts as a [[BadassAdorable kid]] with a tail, his cuteness is dialed UpToEleven when he dances or plays with animals or his friends.

** [[ComicBook/JubileeMarvelComics Jubilee]] becomes this after becoming a vampire.

** In an anime-only episode when Goku travels to the demon world he meets a demon lady called Melee whose very attractive.

** Stitches or not, undead Victoria Cindrey [[https://comicvine1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/original/5/55020/1211446-748d1b0ec9348cc011e4dcdc6312bfed1272394114_full_1_.jpg is still pretty damn hot]].

** Among the Flying Six there’s Ulti and Black Maria who unlike their male teammates are still quite cute and attractive when transformed into their [[EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs Pachycephalosaurus]] and [[SpiderPeople Rosamygale Grauvogeli]] forms respectively.

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

* The Music/{{Tsukiuta}} and Music/{{Tsukipro}} stage plays feature the {{yokai}} AU setting, where all the idols are Cute Monster Boys. Rui is a cute {{Karakasa}}, Kai and Tsubasa are cute (or hot) {{tengu}}, Hajime and Shun are cute {{kitsune}} (who may also be gods of life and death), Ichiru and Issei are kamaitachi, Rikka is a (male) YukiOnna, and so on. Three of the stage plays featured this setting. Kurenai Enishi also featured original tengu characters, but they appeared more or less human. Only Hajime and Shun had [[LittleBitBeastly monster attributes]] in that production.

* [[WesternAnimation/TotalDrama Total Drama: Revenge of the Island]] contestant [[AttentionWhore Dakota]] gets exposed to toxic waste and mutates into a huge monster, and her love interest Sam, a nice gamer guy, sees her as this, finding her even more attractive than before.
