* {{Subverted}}, or even {{averted}}, for [[OmnicidalManiac Black Mage]] of ''Webcomic/EightBitTheater''. Though he has an humongous crush on [[HotWitch White Mage]], her presence isn't enough to prevent him from being evil. At most, he tries to be evil without her noticing.



* [[ShrinkingViolet Cali]][[SpeechImpededLoveInterest xta]] serves as a morality pet to [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Max Pritchard]] in ''Webcomic/EnnuiGo.'' Max generally acts like a [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]], [[ClusterFBomb foul-mouthed]], [[AxCrazy occasionally violent]] [[{{Jerkass}} douche]] toward everyone (including [[VitriolicBestBuds his friends]] and, to a lesser extent, [[DysfunctionalFamily his family]]). However, when he's around Calixta, he drops his nastier quirks, treats her (relatively) kindly and genuinely tries to be a good boyfriend to her. This is especially true in the "How Do I" mini-arc, where he asked her to be his date for the prom and was determined to not stand her up, not even letting kidnappers and a cougar get in his way.
** Likewise, Izzy and her twin sister Adelie were [[spoiler:almost]] these for [[PracticallyJoker Florida Man]], who genuinely tried to help the girls escape their [[AbusiveParents mother]] and [[ParentalSubstitute began to bond with them.]] [[spoiler:Of course, they soon broke ties with him when he causally reveals that he was [[TheCorrupter the one who introduced their mother to drugs]]. By the present, the sisters, mainly Izzy, clearly hate his guts.]]

* While he's antisocial rather than villainous, [[Webcomic/SomethingPositive Davan Macintire]] and his relationship with Rory fit this trope. He's still grouchy and sarcastic around Rory, but he seems to give more of a damn about the kid than he does about most people even upon learning that [[spoiler: Rory isn't actually his son]].

* In the FanWebcomic ''Webcomic/FriendshipIsMagic '', Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie are mutual ones. It was Twilight's cry of anguish that stopped [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Pinkamena]] from killing [[DragonWithAnAgenda Haze]], and [[spoiler: Pinkie was the one who helped Twilight fight off [[DemonicPossession the Tantabus]] and (mostly) purged her of it's BlackMagic]].

* ''Webcomic/ErikaAndThePrincesInDistress'' : Pita acts as one for Erika. Despite her strong "[[HeroicNeutral everyone for themselves]]" mentality, Erika does look out for her squire, and tries to protect her from danger, even if it means involving herself in fights [[BystanderSyndrome she'd rather ignore altogether]]. In fact, the very first time Erika brings herself to ask someone for help (which by the standards of her people would be seen as a very dishonorable sign of weakness) is when [[spoiler:Pita is about to die from a barley sugar overdose]]. It's also the influence of Pita that makes her spare [[spoiler:Glucose]] at the very last moment.

* Used unusually in ''WebComic/TowerOfGod'', where TheHero [[WideEyedIdealist Baam]] is kind of a MagneticHero because of his Morality Pet like tendencies. The amoral characters [[BloodKnight Rak]] and [[ManipulativeBastard Koon]] become functionally heroic due to their affection for him, and the in principle quite evil character Jinsung Ha is only introduced after he's been [[http://www.webtoons.com/en/fantasy/tower-of-god/season-2-ep-36/viewer?title_no=95&episode_no=116 softened up]] by mentoring Baam.

** Prior to, and unbeknownst to anyone else, the Beemahs were sort of the Morality Pet the Klegs wished they had-the meeting between the Beemah and the Kleg ambassador is kind of a [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments Crowning Moment Of Heartwarming]], as the usually rude and self-serving Klegdixal pours his heart out with gratitude to Buck for reuniting the two species, as the Klegs had apparently been the original creators of the Beemahs and their one selfless urge as a species was to fix all the things that had gone wrong in the process (many of them flaws which are used to exploit the Beemahs by another party).

* In ''[[Webcomic/AccursedDragon Accursed Dragon!]]'', [[AntiVillain Wizard]] has Humpbrett, a strangely pet-like boy who has been referred to as a "stray" Wizard picked up.
* ''Webcomic/{{Bomango}}'': Didi, Pablo, and Andy act as Morality Pets for Gogo. Gogo is violent, impulsive, and [[NoSocialSkills socially inept]] to the point where she comes off more as immoral than awkward. However she is very [[MamaBear protective of the people she likes]]. Andy tries to help her out when he can even if it means BrutalHonesty.
* ''ComicBook/{{Buck Godot|Zap Gun for Hire}}'' has the Beemahs become this for the Klegdixal, starting in [[http://www.airshipentertainment.com/buckcomic.php?date=20090214 this]] comic.
** Prior to, and unbeknownst to anyone else, the Beemahs were sort of the Morality Pet the Klegs wished they had-the meeting between the Beemah and the Kleg ambassador is kind of a [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments Crowning Moment Of Heartwarming]], as the usually rude and self-serving Klegdixal pours his heart out with gratitude to Buck for reuniting the two species, as the Klegs had apparently been the original creators of the Beemahs and their one selfless urge as a species was to fix all the things that had gone wrong in the process (many of them flaws which are used to exploit the Beemahs by another party).
* Teeko from ''Webcomic/{{Chirault}}'' has proved that Kiran is not as much of a stoic loner as he thinks he is.
* ''Webcomic/{{Collar 6}}'' gives antagonist Mistress Butterfly three personal slaves (somewhere between pet and spouse) who love her and know her to be a good person, though one of them is surprised at her changed personality and [[WhatTheHellHero calls her on it]], getting [[KickTheMoralityPet kicked]] for his trouble.
* As the story progresses in ''Webcomic/CobwebAndStripes'', Lydia is growing into either this or MoralityChain for Betelgeuse.
* In ''Webcomic/DrFrost'', Pavlov could be a literal morality pet, as he's a puppy who seems to help Frost in some ways. But in a straighter example, Professor Song says that she thinks his assistant, Seonga, is a reason, if not entirely responsible, for Frost becoming more human.
* Creator/JonStewart seems to be this for a vampire Creator/StephenColbert in ''[[Webcomic/AndShineHeavenNow The Eagle of Hermes]]''.
* {{Subverted}}, or even {{averted}}, for [[OmnicidalManiac Black Mage]] of ''Webcomic/EightBitTheater''. Though he has an humongous crush on [[HotWitch White Mage]], her presence isn't enough to prevent him from being evil. At most, he tries to be evil without her noticing.
* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' Lord Tedd tried to wipe out [[AlternateUniverse his alternates]] and sometimes [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2003-01-06 looks batshit insane]]. Then we see him looking much like Tedd we know, not just sane, but [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2003-11-07 downright nice and caring]] as far as his "[[SubordinateExcuse voluntary servant]]" Nioi is concerned. In turn, [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2004-05-17 she claims]] he's not a bad guy.
** Another side of it approaches MoralityChain, as all known AlternateUniverse variants of Tedd got a good friend Elliot and at least once the female counterpart Ellen is his girlfriend; the only exclusion is Lord Tedd's world -- and instead of Grace there's a big ill-mannered BloodKnight.
* Subverted in ''Webcomic/{{Furmentation}}'' -- Alexi goes into a violent, psychopathic rage when his teddy bear is stolen, but having it doesn't seem to make him any nicer than usual.
* In the FanWebcomic ''Webcomic/FriendshipIsMagic '', Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie are mutual ones. It was Twilight's cry of anguish that stopped [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Pinkamena]] from killing [[DragonWithAnAgenda Haze]], and [[spoiler: Pinkie was the one who helped Twilight fight off [[DemonicPossession the Tantabus]] and (mostly) purged her of it's BlackMagic]].
* Built in to troll psychology/romance on a fundamental level in ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}''. MOIRALLEGIANCE pairs are basically this trope, where a calmer troll keeps a more hot-tempered or violent troll's dangerous tendencies in check and they balance and complement each other's personalities. Three examples exist at the beginning of the troll arc: Kanaya for Vriska, Feferi for Eridan, and Nepeta for Equius. Subverted in that Vriska is still a [[MemeticMutation HUGE BITCH BLUH BLUH]] even with Kanaya's [[InsistentTerminology help]], since Kanaya has less-platonic feelings for Vriska and therefore fails to exercise any real control over her, and Feferi broke up with Eridan early on because of the emotional toll of keeping him constantly in check. Nepeta plays it straight except for the fact that on closer examination Equius might not have been that bad a person without her anyways. (He says he might have been.)
** The Equius <> Nepeta dynamic is also interesting as Equius believes that he is the one protecting Nepeta; later on, he admits conversely that, without Nepeta's support, he believes he would probably be violently unstable. And since they represent the zodiac, it isn't a very big surprise that Sagittarius and Leo are a dreampair.
** [[TheHero John]] became one for Vriska.
** Kanaya also finds herself accidentally slipping into this role for Rose, but when Rose mentions it she tries to backpedal because she doesn't want a repeat of her relationship with Vriska.
** As of late, Feferi dumping Eridan has had [[MoralEventHorizon bad consequences]] for the team. On the flipside, Karkat became one of these for the [[AxCrazy psychotic]] [[MonsterClown Gamzee]], successfully ending his murder spree without any further bloodshed. [[spoiler:Though he stays evil afterwards, acting as a ManipulativeBastard to Terezi and later raising Lord English]].
** Draconion Dignitary ''tries'' to be this to Jack Noir [[spoiler: after he's prototyped with Becquerel and becomes [[OmnicidalManiac crazy]] but fails since Jack's too far gone.]] Interestingly played with in that DD ''isn't'' a nice guy like this trope usually requires; he's just in favor of PragmaticVillainy and thinks that Jack is going to ruin everything with his behavior (though there ''may'' be some EvenEvilHasStandards going on as well). Also subverted with Courtyard Droll who has a lot of traits in common with this trope but is to weak and easily manipulated to be an effective Morality Pet for Jack, and is hated by him anyways.
* Richard from ''Webcomic/LookingForGroup'' may be a cold blooded (literally, he's undead), ChaoticEvil, OmnicidalManiac, but no one messes with his [[FanNickname Felbunny]].
* In ''Webcomic/{{Misfile}}'' Eponine appears to be the only creature Cassiel genuinely cares about. It even trumps her desire to spite Rumisiel.
* The AxCrazy Red of ''Webcomic/NoRestForTheWicked'' takes this attitude toward November.
* While technically human, Piffany from ''Webcomic/{{Nodwick}}'' is the only reason Artax and Yeager actually display any kind of heroism ever. There's a reason ''A World Without Piffany'' is so [[CrapsackWorld crapsacky]] it makes even the normal ''Nodwick'' world seem pleasant.
* In ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'':
** Mr. Scruffy the cat is probably the only living thing Belkar genuinely cares for besides himself. While Belkar starts out appreciating what a vicious little bastard the cat can be, this [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0807.html eases him into]] the foreign idea of having loved ones.
--->'''[[SpoonyBard Elan]]:''' I can't tell if the cat is a good influence on Belkar, or Belkar is a bad influence on the cat.
--->'''Haley:''' Both, I think, but it probably still averages out somewhere south of Neutral.
** Played straight with Blackwing the raven: as the wizard Vaarsuvius' {{familiar}}, he gets to mitigate Vaarsuvius' anger issues and remind them of problem-solving strategies that don't involve [[KillItWithFire large explosions]].
* ''Webcomic/PixieAndBrutus'': As tough and scary-looking as he is, [[HeroicDog Brutus']] immediate thought process upon meeting [[CuteKitten Pixie]] is, "She doesn't stand a chance against attackers. Well, looks like I have to protect her, then."
* Criminy to Fuchsia in ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}''.
* Played with early in ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'', when Kiki the ferret's CatchPhrase was "Stay good, [name]! Stay good!"
* Used unusually in ''WebComic/TowerOfGod'', where TheHero [[WideEyedIdealist Baam]] is kind of a MagneticHero because of his Morality Pet like tendencies. The amoral characters [[BloodKnight Rak]] and [[ManipulativeBastard Koon]] become functionally heroic due to their affection for him, and the in principle quite evil character Jinsung Ha is only introduced after he's been [[http://www.webtoons.com/en/fantasy/tower-of-god/season-2-ep-36/viewer?title_no=95&episode_no=116 softened up]] by mentoring Baam.
* While he's antisocial rather than villainous, [[Webcomic/SomethingPositive Davan Macintire]] and his relationship with Rory fit this trope. He's still grouchy and sarcastic around Rory, but he seems to give more of a damn about the kid than he does about most people even upon learning that [[spoiler: Rory isn't actually his son]].
* In ''Webcomic/WildeLife,'' [[WickedWitch Zulime]] deliberated started TheVirus that [[WasOnceAMan permanently turns people into bloodthirsty monsters]], uses MindControl and was planning to engage in SuperHumanTrafficking...but also took in several runaway teenagers who, unaware of her other activities, were crushed when [[spoiler:[[BigGood the White-Faced Bear]] [[GoodIsNotSoft killed her]]]].
