* The Rainy Devil in ''Literature/{{Bakemonogatari}}'' makes a deal with Kanbaru Suruga that obviously references ''Monkey's Paw'', to the point where she actually gets her arm replaced with that of a monkey and interprets wishes very liberally and dangerously for everyone involved. [[spoiler:Subverted, as instead of misinterpreting anything the devil simply obeys her hidden desires to the letter, which are far darker than what she'd expected.]]

The other kids were all crippled by an attacker, at least temporarily, rendering them unable to run and her hidden desires to the letter, which are far darker fastest by default. [[spoiler:However, what the Rainy Devil was actually granting was not her stated wish to be a fast runner but her ''subconscious'' wish for revenge, meaning it's actually a BenevolentGenie. Her current wish is similar: More than what she'd expected.wanting Senjogahara to love her, she wants to beat up Koyomi for taking her away, though as a normal person she wouldn't normally act on this desire.]]

-->'''Alptraum:''' For most people, they don’t enter my realm until they make a wish at night that they lived a different life, and then go to sleep. That’s how I got the fifty who wound up in the hospital. They’ve all got their own little problems. [...] Now, they’re in my arena, fighting and running from every horrific monster I can dream up! That’s certainly a change of pace, isn’t it?

* The ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' fic "[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12937703/1/Maggie-of-Manhattan Maggie of Manhattan]]" raises the possibility of Puck being this to justify why Maggie- the cat-mutate who has chosen to remain with the Manhattan clan in this version of events- doesn't accept Puck's suggestion that she ask him to turn her back into a human. Having witnessed how everyone else transformed by him briefly lost the memory of their true identities after the change, Maggie decides that she doesn't want to risk losing her memories of the gargoyles if she asks Puck to turn her back into a human his way, choosing to keep her personal growth and find her own way forward rather than go back to the weak human she was before.

* ''TabletopGame/LegendOfTheFiveRings'' suggests this as a possible way that the [[CosmicHorror Nothing]] might grant "favors". One of the source books includes an example of a Shiba bodyguard who was being blackmailed by the [[DesignatedVillain Scorpion Clan]] and made a deal with an agent of the Nothing to get rid of the Blackmail. The agent did so--by telling everyone the Shiba's secret, eliminating the hold that the Scorpion had on him but ruining his life in the process.

* Warren Plotnik from ''WesternAnimation/{{Cyberchase}}'' is apparently an evil genie described by Hacker as the evilest being in all of Cyberspace, and actually wants to free him in one episode so he can overthrow the Mother Board and take over Cyberspace himself. Unfortunately, Warren's only weakness turns out to be his own mother.

* The witch from the ''WesternAnimation/{{Teen Titans|2003}}'' episode "Cyborg the Barbarian" is an odd case. She screws her master over at every turn, but she is perfectly straight with Cyborg, even offering to send him home when her master clearly intends to kill him. Of course, her master is a complete {{Jerkass}} and she is obviously twisting his wishes on purpose.
