History Main / CuteMonsterGirl

** The earlier Angewomon, [=LadyDevimon=], Lilymon and Rosemon. The BishonenLine means most female Digimon are gonna end up like this at some point.

* Mink from ''DragonHalf'', though granted, she's [[HalfHumanHybrid half human]] herself; her mother is a dragon. Her mother is usually [[{{Shapeshifter}} transformed]] into a humanoid form but tends to break it when she becomes angry.

* Lum from ''UruseiYatsura'' looks like a cute teenaged girl with green hair and little horns, but is explained as being an alien whose race is the [[AncientAstronauts inspiration]] for Japanese ogres. Her being such is actually lifted straight from Japanese mythology, where Oni woman are supernaturally beautiful, but capable of [[DemonHead assuming fearsome visages when angry or jealous]].

* Little Ghoul on ''Series/{{Beetleborgs}}'' was a variation of the theme, "cute" in the same was an eight-year-old little girl [[LittleMissSnarker(although a rather precocious one)]] was cute. (Of course, the reason she kept her face hidden behind her hood was because it was [[BrownNote so incredibly terrifying that no-one could bear to look at it.]])

** There were even a few [[MonsterOfTheWeek Monsters of the Week]] who might qualify, including Madame Woe, but they tended to be rare.

* Yeto of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'' is a big, hulking yeti with a face that one would expect a yeti to have. His wife Yeta, on the other hand, is a walking ball of fur with a much cuter face. [[spoiler:At least when she's not possessed by the dungeon boss, then her face [[NightmareFace goes all scary-like]]...]]

* QueensBlade video games have Gal Monsters that can be caught and fight for the player.

* Hala River from ''[[http://subcultura.es/webcomic/elis/1 Irregular Elis]]'' is a HotMom alien.

** Given that Mortasheen's standards of beauty are... [[NightmareFetishist different]], it's not surprising to learn they consider Mothstrous one of the most hideous and grotesque of all Arthropoids. For comparison's sake, [[http://www.bogleech.com/mortasheen/blighterfly.htm ''this'']] is one of the Arthropoids they consider "beautiful".

** Much of this is due to ArtEvolution. In ''Brood War's'' cinematics and menus, Kerrigan looked [[http://images.wikia.com/starcraft/images/1/18/InfestedSarahKerrigan_SC1_Art3.png like this]]. Then she developed into [[http://images.wikia.com/starcraft/images/6/66/InfestedSarahKerrigan_SC1_Art2.jpg this]]. And nowadays her appearance is locked onto [[http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090704143245/starcraft/images/thumb/1/1a/InfestedKerrigan_SC2_Phys3.jpg/640px-InfestedKerrigan_SC2_Phys3.jpg this]]. It's also lampshaded in-universe that her beautiful human face has mostly been unaffected by infestation, and is another tool she can rely on to distract an enemy if she's ever in close-quarters combat.

* Most, if not all, the female demons & deities in the ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' series of games, especially ''ShinMegamiTenseiNocturne'', as even the ones who are officially supposed to be hideous still manage to look really sexy (with perhaps the only exception definitely being the "Old Hag" type of demoness)!

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. (The rise of Cute Monster [[SpearCounterpart Boys]] could negate these implications, however.)

* The {{anime}} ''MagicalPokaan'' gives us ''four'' {{Cute Monster Girl}}s - a [[WolfMan werewolf]], a [[FriendlyNeighborhoodVampires vampire]], a [[CuteWitch witch]], and an [[RobotGirl android]].

* The ''Shadow over Innsmouth''-based BMovie ''Dagon'' throws in a Deep One CuteMonsterGirl 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.

* ''MoreInformationThanYouRequire'' features a CuteMonsterGirl mole-man as part of a BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy gag. [[spoiler: She's this universe's version of Sally Hemings.]]

* Many of the monsters in the ''VideoGame/{{Castlevania}}'' games are also {{Cute Monster Girl}}s, such as the Succubus, and the Perspherone, a demonic ''[[{{Meido}} maid]]'' who happens to know Kung-Fu.

** [[{{Disgaea 3}} Raspberyl]] is a FunSize CuteMonsterGirl.

* ''PlanescapeTorment'' features a number of odd {{NPC}}s you can add to your party. Only two are female, and both of them are conventionally very attractive, with some add-ons (a tail in the case of Annah and wings in the case of Fall-From-Grace). With Grace it's expected; she ''is'' a demon, and a [[HornyDevils succubus]] at that. However, Annah is a tiefling; that is, someone descended from a fiendish grandparent (possibly with a few "greats" thrown in), and most fiends in ''DungeonsAndDragons'', even female ones, aren't very attractive.

** This seems to the entire [[PlanetOfHats hat]] of the [[HalfHumanHybrid tiefling]] race. Male, female, whatever. They all seem to be [[CuteMonsterGirl cute monster people]] versions of fiends. Case in point: not just Annah but [[VideoGame/NeverwinterNights Valen]] and [[VideoGame/NeverwinterNights2 Neeshka]] as well (and, depending who you ask, I would imagine [[BaldursGate Haer'Dalis]]). It's also explicitly mentioned in the [[DungeonsAndDragons 4e]] writeup of the race in the ''Player's Handbook''.

** Aylee adopts her forms to defend against specific dangers (such as developing mind-shielding with a telepathic foe around). The current form was taken because she feared what humans would do unless she could fit in among them better. In other words, she (subconsciously) made herself into a CuteMonsterGirl to gain acceptance.

** The Nymphs from ''FinalFantasyIX''. They have completely humanoid (and scantily clad) bodies, simply with what looks like grass and leaves for hair. The villainous ones have purple skin while the good ones have green skin but they're still pretty hot.

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

** Advanced (2nd edition) and 4th edition also features a gender flipped version - there are indeed male Medusas, but apart from being [[BaldOfEvil bald]], they're actually pretty handsome (and being scaly folk, the baldness isn't that bad).

* 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.]] Averted with plenty of underground female mutants though. Such deformities include slimy green skin, horizontal mouths, extra arms and tentacles.

* In ''Film/LetTheRightOneIn'', [[UndeadChild Eli]] fits this trope. She's a vampire, who has the appearance of an adorable 12-13 year old girl. Oskar, when he finds out what she is [[spoiler:Is horrified at first, not only over what she is but what she might want from him. However, by the next night he actively invites her into his apartment and is planning on a romantic evening with her...Before his mother unexpectedly comes home, that is]]. When Eli leaves, [[spoiler:after being forced to kill the town drunk who finds her daytime resting place]], Oskar is inconsolable. That makes it all the sweeter when [[spoiler:Eli returns the next night, saves Oskar from the bullies and they proceed to [[FourthDateMarriage leave town]] to both start a new life together.]]
