** ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'' but ''not'' ''WesternAnimation/MonstersUniversity''. Randall Boggs was a decent guy for most of the prequel and hadn't really developed the slinky way of moving until the events of the first film.

Evil is seductive, and to drive that point home, bad guys can be LeanAndMean, elegant, creepy, or [[EvilIsSexy sexy]]. Some bad guys even combine those traits in different combinations, giving you creepy-sexy bad guys as just one example.

* In ''VideoGame/StreetFighter6'', A.K.I.'s movement patterns are gloriously fluid, contorting herself into all sorts of bizarre shapes, even for standard hits. Her walk is more of a glide, complete with spaghetti-arms flaying, and she can even slither across the arena floor on her back like a snake.

Sexy Walk was renamed/retooled into Supermodel Strut by TRS.


* ''Series/GoodOmens2019'': Demon Crowley's alternative form is a snake, and he walks in a way that reflects this. It straddles the line between SexyWalk and SillyWalk.

Quetzalcoatl isn't evil in any of the sources we have and Ouroboros has nothing to do with morality; it's just a snake.


* Quetzalcoatl is a winged snake that slinks and flies. It is a god-creature, so it may be more ineffable than evil.
* Ouroboros is a snake that does not slink as it is perpetually eating its own tail.

** Gollum from ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' originally looked like a hobbit, but the Ring's corruption turned him into a hideous mutant who crawls around on all fours. Sam even gives him the nickname "Slinker". Credit must go to mocap actor Creator/AndySerkis for the on-screen slinkage in TheMovieOfTheBook.
** Smaug from ''Literature/TheHobbit'' also moves in a slinky, reptilian way, due to being a dragon with a serpentine body. According to WordOfGod, his name comes from the primitive Germanic word ''smúgan'', meaning "to squeeze through a hole" (Gollum's other name, Sméagol, derives from the same word). Just as in Gollum's case, in TheMovieOfTheBook (specifically ''Film/TheHobbitTheDesolationOfSmaug''), actor Creator/BenedictCumberbatch had to crawl on all fours to create the motion capture reference.

** Medusa slinks like a snake and is evil because she's enraged about her punishment for sleeping with Poseidon in Athena's temple. Or in a different version she claimed to rival Athena in beauty. Or possibly just because she and her equally-monstrous sisters were born to primordial sea-monster-gods.

** Or she slinks like a snake and is ''not'' evil because she's grateful to Athena for making it so men cannot touch her against her will ever again after seeing her loyal priestess get raped by Poseidon despite being in the "safety" of Athena's own temple. This was once thought to be [[SadlyMythtaken a modern interpretation,]] as Athena transforming Medusa is more traditionally depicted as a victim-blaming hissy fit on Athena's part, but there ''have'' been other versions found where she's sympathetic to Medusa, and apparently the victim-blaming version was considered extreme ''[[EveryoneHasStandards even for misogynistic Greece.]]''
