* You can have your pick of adorable ''VideoGame/{{Palworld}}'' critters. Many of the starting ComMons are cute like Lamball, Chikipi, Cattiva, Lifmunk, and Foxparks, but they are by no means the only ones. Even boss-level monsters like Chillet and Quivern can have rather sweet faces, and the expressions they make in the sauna are quite charming too. There are some Pals which fall into [[UglyCute other]] [[TroubledButCute definitions]] of cute, such as the amusingly squat Wumpo or the scowling yet endearing Depresso.

* ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'' introduces the Aranara in its Sumeru update. The Aranara are a race of mystical plantlike spirits who reside in the secluded Mahavanaranapna in Sumeru, and are only visible to young children or adventurers who have received the blessing of Dendro. They are characterized by their very short height, simple and rotund body shape, a cute leafy hat as well as facial features which look like a child doodled them on. They also have a youthful singing voice, a cutesy sound to their footsteps and are overall pleasant little creatures to be around who only wish for the well-being of the Traveler and the rainforest.

* The Baliflids in ''VideoGame/{{Ascendancy}}'' are described this way in universe -- although judging from the art, this is a case of either UglyCute or InformedAbility (they are rather scrawny rodentoids with three tongues). Alien species find them so irresistibly cute that their special ability is to force all other species to make peace with them at once.
* [[VideoGame/AuraAuraClimber Aura-Aura]] is possibly the cutest star ever. And if the game says anything, it's that [[http://yctag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/aura-3.jpg he's no bigger than a basketball]]!
* ''VideoGame/{{Bomberman}}'' is just OOZING with them, to the point of risking CutenessOverload. Let's start listing them off:
** The roois[=/=]Louies from ''Bomberman '94''[=/=]''Mega Bomberman'' onward, [[KangaroosRepresentAustralia adorable kangaroos]] that [[PowerupMount give Bomberman a ride]]. White Bomber in ''VideoGame/BombermanJetters'' also has a small one as a pet companion.
** The dinosaurs that [[PowerupMount also serve as mounts]]. In ''Super Bomberman 4'', they start off as generic enemies early in the game until you blast them, at which point they turn into eggs. Walk over your first egg and you get to ride one, as well as gaining spike bombs. Any additional eggs you collect follow behind, Yoshi-style. ''Saturn Bomberman'' instead features different dinosaurs as general Louie replacements, also with unique abilities.
** The [[{{Mons}} Charaboms]] in general, but especially Pommy, debuting in ''VideoGame/Bomberman64TheSecondAttack'' He even introduces himself to a few {{Mook}}s as "the cutest hero in the galaxy"!
** If ''Anime/BombermanBDamanBakugaiden IV'' qualifies, there's the B-Darons; mostly {{Funny Animal}}s that don't talk, but clearly show intelligence nonetheless. And many of them are indeed adorable, to the point of young Bomberwomen getting CutenessProximity reactions around them right in the third episode!
** See something at the start of the stage that looks innocent and adorable? [[EverythingTryingToKillYou It'll probably kill you on contact.]] They might be kid mice holding balloons at an amusement park or weird panda umbrella [[BuffySpeak things]], but they're still every bit as deadly as everything else.
* Lex from ''{{VideoGame/Bookworm}}'' looks unbelievably proper and adorable despite being, well, a bookworm.
%% * The cats in VideoGame/CatPlanet!
* ''{{VideoGame/Chrono Cross}}'' has Draggy, for being a cute newborn dragon and Pip, a creature that can evolve into cute forms as well.
* The ''Franchise/DragonQuest'' series is ''chock-full'' of endearingly adorable monsters no matter which entry. Even the "menacing" monsters like dragons/golems/inanimate suits of armor/etc. tend to be UglyCute at worst. Several notable examples include:
** The most famous of them all are the [[CuteSlimeMook Slimes]]; cute little blue droplets with a big happy smile. Whenever they talk, they tend to replace certain words and syllables with slime-related puns (like "gooman" instead of "human"), and they're always given child-like voices.
** Imps are diminutive demons with googly eyes, a big tongue sticking out ([[ElmuhFuddSyndwome which makes them talk like Elmer Fudd]]), and a big pitchfork that looks more like a table fork. They're also a subversion of [[KillerRabbit Killer Rabbits]]; although they have access to incredibly dangerous spells like [[OneHitKill Kathwack]], their MP is way too low to cast it.
** Drackys, bat-like creatures with adorable toothy grins.
** Great Sabrecubs, the younger versions of the fearsome Great Sabrecats, are essentially just kittens with the same flowing mane as their adult counterparts.
** Sham hatwitch, a recent monster in [[VideoGame/DragonQuestX later]] [[VideoGame/DragonQuestXI entries]], they are small warthogs with comically-oversized hats.
%% * A good slew of ''VideoGame/DragonQuest'' monsters also apply, particularly the iconic Slime creatures.
* The fluffy wamblers from ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress'' are described as, "known and beloved for their warm hearts, gentle natures, and stumble bumblings... They are widely held to be 'adorable,' and many [[EatTheDog dwarves consider them to be a delicacy]]." They're also respected as killers of [[ImplacableMan bronze colossi]].[[note]]After a famous occurrence of an adventurer (somehow) killing a colossus by throwing a wambler at it.[[/note]]
* ''[[VideoGame/ExtrapowerAttackOfDarkforce EXTRAPOWER Attack of Darkforce]]'': Three of the Hikari Warriors have adorable NonHumanSidekick, Pururu for the Blue Warrior, Pororo for the Green Warrior, and Purara aids the Red Warrior.
* The ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' series has several:
** Most iconic are the Moogles, little white fuzzballs who [[VerbalTic say "kupo" all the time]]. [[VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy Not even]] [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI Terra]] [[http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091008034808/finalfantasy/images/b/b5/DFF_Terra_and_Moogle.png can resist the cute]]. [[EmotionlessGirl Lightning can]].
** Chocobos, yellow birds used as [[HorseOfADifferentColor mounts]], may or may not be ridiculously cute depending on the ArtShift of the game.
*** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXI'', not only do you have cute chocobos, you also have the even cuter BABY chocobos. Baby chocobos have also made it as merchandise as a [[http://www.playonline.com/ff11eu/topics/special/imgs/goods14.jpg noisy but oh so cute toy]].
*** There's a number of Final Fantasy spinoffs known collectively as the Chocobo series, all featuring the same [[http://www.vgblogger.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/06/FFF-Chocobos%20Dungeon.jpg ridiculously adorable protagonist]].
*** From ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'', Sazh's baby chocobo fits into this trope. It's essentially a fluffy infant chicken that can fly. Amping this up is an optional scene on Gran Pulse in which Sazh's baby chocobo meets baby chocobos of Gran Pulse.
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'' has Moombas, apparently an [[EvolutionaryLevels evolved form]] of the big ugly humanoid Shumi.
** Tonberry is certainly cute as he slowly waddles across the battlefield, pokes you with his cute little knife, and [[KillerRabbit you fall over dead]].
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' has Cait Sith. He's essentially a bipedal cat, but with an oversized head to make him even cuter.
** The Carbuncle, in the games where it is portrayed as a cat (or fox)-like mammal with huge ears, beady eyes, and rounded snout, like ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'' or ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXI''. Not so much in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV'' or ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'', where it's more reptilian (and is actually a large and menacing boss monster in the former.) Or ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyCrystalChronicles'', where it looks like something entirely different. DoubleSubversion with ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV'': You have to fight a very feral-looking one at first, but then you [[SummonMagic summon]] it and instead get the adorable, Reflect-buffing, shiny-[[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Espeon]]-esque creature that's pretty much standard for the later games. Yes, including ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI''. ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'' outright [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] how increasingly adorable it gets with each game.
*** Even in Crystal Chronicles it's pretty adorable, [[http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080324225046/finalfantasy/images/7/74/Ffcc_carbuncle.jpg looking like some big fluffy green Totoro]].
** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'', they threw in some literal [[KillerRabbit Killer Rabbits]] by introducing some bosses in the form of the game's terribly cute Dream Hare creatures (imagine a tiny bunny with a giant puffball tail and feathers for ears, and that's about the gist of it). Fury, one of the optional mini-bosses, is one of those.
** The Nu Mou race from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTacticsAdvance'' and ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTacticsA2''. They've got big furry tails, long and droopy ears like a dog, and their face finishes the rest of their cuteness. Of course, these cute factors run away when you start to see them slaughter your team with powerful magic spells if you find them as enemies. Their ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'' incarnations goes the [[UglyCute complete opposite end of cute]].
** The Lalafells of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'' are an entire humanoid race that seems devoted to this concept. They have the largest, most expressive eyes of any playable race in the game (and even a choice to have shimmering pupil less jewel eyes), tiny beady noses, and large pointed ears. Also, they max out at about three feet tall. Even their battle cries will make you want to drop your weapons and give them hugs!
*** In the same game, there's the Namazu, which are a beastmen race that are modeled after catfish. Their googly eyes, short and chubby stature, doofy personalities, and the squeaks they make when they waddle make the Namazu ridiculously cute. There's also merchandise made after them.
*** ''Shadowbringers'' introduces the Great Serpents of Ronka (Scree!), a species of {{Tsuchinoko}} with beady eyes and CuteLittleFangs that get around by bouncing on their chubby bellies rather than slither. Three variations of them are available as minions (one with a mining helmet, one with a farmer hat and bandana, and the original hatless variety), and two larger specimens as mounts hiding inside levitating pottery.
* If you have the right items, you can turn yourself into a small cute frog, rabbit, dog, etc. in ''Website/GaiaOnline''. Cue the delight if you enter the Zomg! game as a frog. Not to mention all the fluffs in the game itself.
* ''VideoGame/GhostTrick'' gives us [[http://superdrama.deviantart.com/art/WP-Ghost-Trick-Missile-166878180 Missile]], the BadAssAdorable Pomeranian. Missile was previously featured in ''Franchise/AceAttorney'', where he looked more like a Shiba Inu, but with the same amount of adorableness.
* ''VideoGame/GuildWars'' has rollerbeetles, giant [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin rolling beetles]] that make cute little chittering noises. During Canthan festivals, you even get to participate in ''Mario Kart''-style rollerbeetle races.
** ''VideoGame/GuildWars2'' features [[spoiler:[[http://scontent.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/s480x480/e35/14449096_100584140408218_8027467603356155904_n.jpg?ig_cache_key=MTM0NzI4NjgyNzc0MDA4NTY4MQ%3D%3D.2 Aurene]], Glint's very recently hatched adorably cute offspring.]]
* ''VideoGame/HelloKittyOnline'': ''All'' of the mooks are even cuter than they are dangerously aggressive. As is pretty much everything else in this SugarBowl world.
* Pretty much any character in the ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'' games is some degree of cute, given the [[SugarBowl setting]]. [[Characters/KirbyKirby Kirby himself]], a round little pink orb of cuteness, is no exception, as are the [[TheGoomba Waddle Dees]], a race of adorable {{Waddling Head}}s that look a bit like stuffed toys. But [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/elfilin.png Elfilin]], the BigGood of ''VideoGame/KirbyAndTheForgottenLand'', takes the cake. He's basically a chinchilla with fluffy blue-green fur and huge ears he can use to [[EarWings fly around]]. And just when you've finished staring into his InnocentBlueEyes, you'll realize his entire body is ''shaped like a heart''. It's like [=HAL=] made him to be loved.
* ''VideoGame/{{Klonoa}}'': [[MixAndMatchCritters Nobody's really sure just what]] the eponymous protagonist is, beyond the adjectives "cute", "long-eared", and "fuzz-covered". WordOfGod claims that Klonoa's a cat with long ears. This really applies to pretty much almost everything in his games, as well.
* [[TheGoomba Shadows]] from ''Franchise/KingdomHearts''. Big heads, big, wide eyes, and so little and huggable looking. A lot of the smaller Heartless fall into this category. They are so huggable you can almost ignore the fact that if you get within an arms' reach they will plunge whatever limbs they have inside your chest and rip your heart out.
** Most of the Dream Eaters in ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance'' were designed with this intent.
** The Chirithy from ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsX'' and ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII''. An adorable race of Dream Eaters resembling small stuffed cats with capes and little pouches [[https://kh.wiki.gallery/images/1/11/Chirithy_KHIII.png See here.]]
* The Yordles from ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' count, pretty much being [[Franchise/FinalFantasy Moogles]] in all but name. Teemo in particular was the game's first designated cute champion.
** Also Fizz, who is basically an amphibian Yordle.
** [[https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Poro Poros]] which inhabit the Howling Abyss map, who are tiny white furballs with very small limbs, disproportionately large tongues and goat-like horns. They can be fed a Poro-Snax, which will [[http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/545/044/0cf.gif cause them to happily run around in a circle]] once and grow larger.
*** If fed by Braum, they grow a moustache. If fed by enough players ''and'' Braum, however, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlhLiih9joI this happens]].
** Poros ''really'' came into their own in the ''VideoGame/LegendsOfRuneterra'' CCG, giving us a look at various different varieties of poros and the crazy, adorable things they do. Loremaster Necrit did [[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+11%3A12-14&version=NIV an analysis]] of all the poro cards in the game's first release after Riot declared that every card in the game was canonical. Their fluff is truly infinite, to the point where the collective noun for a group of poros is a ''fluft''.
* ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'' introduces the Aranara in its Sumeru update. The Aranara are a race of mystical plantlike spirits who reside in the secluded Mahavanaranapna in Sumeru, and are only visible to young children or adventurers who have received the blessing of Dendro. They are characterized by their very short height, simple and rotund body shape, a cute leafy hat as well as facial features which look like a child doodled them on. They also have a youthful singing voice, a cutesy sound to their footsteps and are overall pleasant little creatures to be around who only wish for the well-being of the Traveler and the rainforest.
* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'':
** Link's [[BecomingTheCostume Deku form]] in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Majora's Mask]]''. He retains his cap, which is almost as big as he is!
** ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Skyward Sword]]'' has Remlits, little siamese cat-raccon things with big bat ears... at least, during the ''day''. At night they're a [[http://www.zeldawiki.org/images/6/6b/Remlit.png whole different matter]]... You can make the Remlits stay ridiculously adorable ''all the time'' if you complete a certain sidequest, however.
** Also in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Skyward Sword]]'', the Kikwis, who resemble a cross between a penguin, a beaver, and a shrub. Not to mention their VerbalTic...
** The Maiamais from ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkBetweenWorlds A Link Between Worlds]]'' are small crab-octopus creatures that you have to collect. They make cute squeaky noises and you bring them back to their mother, which looks like a PuniPlush version of an Octorok.
* Nall and Ruby from ''VideoGame/{{Lunar}}'', being what appear to be adorable winged cats with high-pitched voices. [[spoiler:Until they become full-fledged dragons.]]
* Furrikin in ''VideoGame/{{Lusternia}}''. Bipedal, intelligent little fuzzballs, they resemble anthropomorphic archetypical animals. Furrikin can look like anything from a panda bear to a raccoon to a sheep, but don't let their appearance fool you - they're smarter than humans and ''very'' fast. [[KillerRabbit And not all of them are peaceful, either.]]
* ''VideoGame/NellyCootalot'' has spoonbeaks from the Barony of Meeth, which are not only cute for their eponymous spoon-shaped bills, but also serve to show [[spoiler:how evil [[BigBad Baron Widebeard]] can be when he enslaves them to work in the Saul Mines]].
* Creator/NipponIchi games have Prinnies, dood. Fat, cuddly looking penguins with squeaky voices.
** Also the Eryngi, goofy dancing/boxing mushrooms with adorable faces and high-pitched voices.
* Chibiterasu of ''VideoGame/{{Okamiden}}'', [[SpinOffspring a puppy replacement]] for Amaterasu of ''VideoGame/{{Okami}}'', is undeniably cute. All the brush gods' offspring qualify, as well. Especially [[http://timenerdworld.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/okamiden-thunderstorm.jpg?w=212&h=300 Gekigami's]].
%% * Ori from ''VideoGame/OriAndTheBlindForest''.
* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'': About half of all Pokémon start off like this, then get [[GiganticAdultsTinyBabies bigger]] and (slightly) less cute as they evolve. (Kind of like [[TruthInTelevision real baby animals]].)
** Except [[VideoGame/PokemonXAndY Goomy]], who becomes ''cuter'' as it evolves. Feebas is an intentional exception; it starts off as an ugly, ratty fish, [[TrueBeautyIsOnTheInside but evolves into a gorgeous]] (and [[MagikarpPower somewhat overpowered at times]]) Milotic. The drooling Gloom becomes a pretty Bellossom when you use a Sun Stone on it.
** ''[[VideoGame/PokemonXAndY Generation VI]]'' has a whole category for this kind of Pokémon (well, except [[{{Gonk}} Granbull]]), the aptly-named "[[SuperCuteSuperPowers Fairy]]" type, and a [[SugarBowl matching]] gym dedicated to it in XY.
** ''VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield'' not only showcased [[SillySimian Grookey]], [[BunniesForCuteness Scorbunny]], and [[LovableLizard Sobble]] as the starters; the utterly fluffy [[SweetSheep Wooloo]] is described as a timid and peaceful creature that rolls away from conflict. Wooloo is so adorable that the [[EnsembleDarkHorse Pokémon has gotten tons of fanart minutes after its reveal.]]
** Depending on your thoughts on spiders, Joltik and Galvantula can come off as either this or UglyCute. Both of them are fluffy yellow spiders with big blue PuppyDogEyes that make you want to pick them up and snuggle them to death (Joltik moreso). Not to mention the large amount of cute Galvantula artwork such as [[https://tse2.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.4si754vQZUhjbxP78mNEZwHaFj&pid=Api&P=0&w=300&h=300 this]].
** ''VideoGame/PokemonScarletAndViolet'' introduced ''many'' very adorable Pokémon. To name just a few:
*** The starters this Generation: Sprigatito the CuteKitten with the ability to create relaxing therapeutic auras, Fuecoco the happy-go-lucky fire crocodile that loves to eat, and the Water-type duckling Quaxly with its meticulously cared-for pompadour.
*** Fidough, a Fairy-type dachshund puppy made of bread dough with a tiny face. Its evolution Dachsbun, looking like a walking loaf of fresh bread, manages to be every bit as cute.
*** Tandemaus consists of two tiny white mice [[BattleCouple working together to fight]] which will eventually become a Maushold, consisting of the same two mice from before but now accompanied by one or two even tinier mice who fight alongside their parents/guardians.
*** Cetoddle, a land-whale with enormous eyes and a round, very huggable appearance which can often be found in large groups that walk up to the player to watch them curiously.
*** [[spoiler: Ogerpon]], introduced in the Teal Mask DLC campaign, is initially feared by the populace of the Kitakami region, but [[spoiler:is ultimately revealed to be a very sweet-natured and fun-loving Pokémon (but nevertheless [[BadassAdorable a force to be reckoned with when the chips are down]]) and [[https://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/7/7b/Unmasked_Ogerpon_ScViTM.png.png whose face behind her various masks is exceedingly cute]].]] Once the misunderstanding is cleared up, [[spoiler:one of the villagers even comments on how adorable she is]].
*** [[spoiler:Terapagos]] from ''The Indigo Disk'' is also very cute, especially in its initial form. [[spoiler:It looks like a tiny blue turtle with a gem for a shell, and it has big eyes with star-shaped pupils. Its first action upon waking up is to yawn adorably and look curiously up at the player character]].
* [[https://fingerguns.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/117735_co1kyk.jpg This]] is [[PlayerCharacter who you play as]] in ''VideoGame/{{Tamarin}}''.
* ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'':
** Being [[AmazingTechnicolorWildlife colorful animals]], the main characters are naturally predisposed to cuteness, and many a dedicated fan has even made the likes of the stubborn, cold-faced Blaze the Cat into [[http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs26/i/2009/166/c/6/Blaze_Cat_I__m_a_kitty_cat_by_blazedacat.jpg something adorable]].
** Anyone who's seen the [[https://nintendoeverything.com/wp-content/uploads/sonic-chao.jpg Chao]] would think they're cute.
%% ** [[http://www.sonicgear.org/AustraliaPages/Australia%20Photos/HappyPlushF.jpg Sonic's original Genesis design]]. It started to leave the trope around ''Sonic 3'' and it left entirely around VideoGame/SonicAdventure. It came back in VideoGame/SonicGenerations.
%% ** [[http://calmdowntom.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Tails_gen.jpg Tails]], especially [[http://images.wikia.com/sonic/images/1/11/Tails_classic.jpg before Sonic Adventure]].
%% ** [[http://media.sonicscanf.org//gallery/chao-3/sonic-channel.png Chao]], the adorable little pet {{Mons}} who debuted in ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'', and [[http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130806073615/fantendo/images/b/b0/Wisps.png the Wisps]], who got their start in ''VideoGame/SonicColors''. So cute!
%% ** [[http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140805225907/sonicfanon/images/f/f8/Cream_the_rabbit_by_terrarita-d4zk6cl.png Cream the Rabbit]] was likely designed just for this.
%% ** [[GenkiGirl Amy Rose's]] [[http://info.sonicretro.org/images/7/78/Sonicjam_amy_32.png classic design is adorable too]], as is [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/sonic/images/7/79/Amy_Rose_Lost_World.png/revision/latest?cb=20150909071641 her modern design]].
%% ** The small animal friends you rescue in the older ''Sonic'' games, and ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog4''.
%% ** The Chao in the ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'' games.
%% ** The Wisps in ''VideoGame/SonicColors''.
%% ** ''VideoGame/SonicRunners'' introduced baby Wisps, which, among other changes from their older counterparts, all constantly have pacifiers in their mouths.
* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'':
** Yoshi easily falls under this. Being a small dinosaur with huge but adorable eyes, a big nose, orange boot-like shoes, and sounding cute whenever he "speaks" (saying "Yoshi!", various exclamations such as "Wow!", "Whoa!", "Yay!", "Ha!" and "Wah!", and several unintelligible noises), who's to say he's not cute? Though he does get less cute when you find out [[CuteBruiser how exactly he can whip some ass]] in the Mario and ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' series.
** The Toads are very cute with their small proportions and their big heads, giving the impression that they are a race consisting entirely of little kids. This is even lampshaded in WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosMovie, where they make PuppyDogEyes in one scene.
--->'''Toad:''' How? Look at us! We're adorable!
** Ever since his first appearance in ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' Dorrie, the adorable blue plesiosaur-like creature who can be found in Hazy Cave Maze constantly swimming in circles and will gladly give Mario a ride across water and lowering his neck to allow Mario to climb onto his head to reach high areas. A signpost near the lake in which he resides states that he might eat visitors who come too close, although he is completely harmless. In the [[VideoGame/SuperMario64DS remake]], his design has changed from a beady-eyed creature into a design which has strong elements akin to Yoshi, sharing a similar round, friendly face and placement of the eyes and nostrils, with the most noticeable change is wearing a pair of goggles. In ''VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey'' Dorries of different colors can be seen swimming around wearing hats.
** The Ukiki from ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'', which is an adorable little monkey you see when scaling Tall, Tall Mountain. Most curious players have picked him up in hopes of carrying him around the level, and then he steals your hat...
** ''VideoGame/SuperMario64DS'' introduces some adorable colorful rabbits you chase after in order to gain access to a location due to each of them having a key.
** The Lumas, introduced in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy'', are little sparkly star-shaped critters that also sound very cute when speaking. Many of them live under the care of their adoptive mother Rosalina, whom they call "Mama", which does not help matters.
** ''VideoGame/SuperMario3DWorld'' introduces Plessie, which can be summed up as "Yoshi's possible distant cousin"; he has the face of Yoshi with the body of a cartoon Loch Ness monster and wears a red bandana. You ride Plessie like a super fast jet ski during some water sections of a level and when you have to leave him behind, he gives you a friendly wave goodbye. You can even tickle him using the Gamepad, causing him to giggle!
** ''VideoGame/PrincessPeachShowtime'' has Peach's magical companion, Stella who's a small adorably cheery 8-pointed star sprite who's the guardian of the Sparkle Theater. She serves as Peach's guide through the plays she reenacts in her quest to defeat the WickedWitch Grape with the magical ribbon she conjures for Peach when they first meet serving as the princess' TransformationTrinket.
** While not directly involved in the mainline Mario games, [[VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry Diddy Kong]] tends to give off this vibe thanks to his large eyes, red baseball cap with the Nintendo logo on it, long prehensile tail, and rather adorable voice.
*** Ditto for his girlfriend Dixie Kong, who is just as adorable if not more so. Her little sister Tiny Kong used to qualify for this, but after a redesign looks more mature and less cutesy.
* The main Monsters you run into in ''VideoGame/WarioLandShakeIt'' are little bandana-waring red balls with feet and mouths known as Bandineros. They don't actually do any damage, they just walk about and bounce off your fat gut, and grabbing them causes them to panic in a way that can cause just a little bit of empathy for them. Also, they come in multiple types - yellow (they jump all about the stage), blue (they inflate and float, making a face that looks suspiciously like that anime "Hey-I'm-cute" face we all know and love (:3, to be exact) all the while), and a lighter blue (they have forks on their head which can actualy harm you, but cause them to get stuck to the cealing or walls when thrown, with struggling included). It seems even the game likes them, as some missions to unlock the music soundtrack require you to get through a stage without killing a single baddie.
* Cute little Kyu-Kyu of ''VideoGame/VanguardBandits'', a platypus who's always hanging around his human [[BadassAdorable Nana]].
* ''VideoGame/WorldOfMana'':
** Rabites. As the name suggests, the look a little like rabbits, but rounder and fluffier. They are usually the earliest and weakest enemies in each game, but ''VideoGame/TrialsOfMana'' features the Black Rabite as the ridiculously powerful {{Superboss}}. [[KillerRabbit Evil in its cutest form!]]
** Flammie from the same franchise. He's a fluffy, four angel winged dragon with big eyes and ears.
%% ** The cat enemies and [[http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/1/10234/267690-neko.jpg Neko shopkeeper.]]
* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' has many "Vanity Pets" (as opposed to Combat Pets [[AnAdventurerIsYou used by]] [[TheBeastmaster hunters]]) that fall into this category, including a panda cub (which ups the ante by ''falling asleep''), dragon whelps and baby murlocs. Okay, not many consider murlocs cute, but the baby version is so much cutie-fied (and does a funny dance) that most people don't care. In ''Wrath of the Lich King'' there is a quest where you have to rescue baby murlocs being kept locked up in cages... and when you open them, sometimes they say, "Mama?" or "Dada?" and then they follow you in a little scampering group.
* The ''VideoGame/{{Zork}}'' universe has the minx, "an irresistibly cuddly animal which shares all the most ingratiating characteristics of kittens, koala bears, and piglets."
* The titular VideoGame/{{Knytt}} and [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YcJN5ZAyGRg/RjMk6tqDDOI/AAAAAAAAAN0/v7R8Wh5ADd4/s400/knytt1.GIF its mouse-like scurring up walls.]] It is (and his species) a cross between a kangaroo and a tiny T-Rex.
%% * The Djinn from ''VideoGame/GoldenSun''. Look at [[http://goldensunwiki.net/w/images/c/c4/Djinn.png this]].
* Teddie from ''VideoGame/Persona4'', it's like this trope page is describing him on purpose. As the name would suggest, he looks like an overly large, animate teddy bear, with short arms and legs and a ''huge'' head and eyes. Funny enough, it ''is'' kind of describing him on purpose-Teddie looks the way he does because he wanted humans to like him.
* ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'':
** Baby mobs are just the normal mobs with a smaller body and a head of the same size as the old ones, but they're still very cute.
** As of the "Pretty Scary" update, bats count as well. They're small brown flying bundles with big ears that make adorable squeaks and hang on walls by their tiny little feet.
* The Nopon in ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1''. Small? Check. Fluffy? Check. [[YouNoTakeCandle Adorable speech pattern?]] Check. This cuteness causes a stark contrast from the other more-humanoid sentient beings in the world, and they are fully aware of it. Some Nopon lament that other races tend to not take them seriously, while others use their cuteness to their advantage (resulting in sidequests covering material darker than one'd expect from a token cutesy species, like [[spoiler:breaking up a drug-smuggling ring]]).
** They're back in the sequel ''VideoGame/XenobladeChroniclesX'', where they're natives of planet Mira. That's right, the cute little merchant puffballs have evolved and survived on a planet where humans with mini-mecha are experiencing severe survival issues. They achieve this by hiding and traveling smart, though, so they're noncombatants.
** They show up once again in ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2''. Only [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/xenoblade/images/8/85/XC2-Bana.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20170914010207 Bana]], [[CorruptCorporateExecutive the chairman of the Argentum Trade Guild]], is designed to be [[{{Gonk}} not-so-cute]] compared to the rest of his species to showcase his slimy nature.
*** ''2'' also reveals in a sidequest that, centuries prior, Nopon were capable of speaking the common language just as well as any other race. Then, the famous Nopon pirate Captain Nopopon proposed that, since everybody else already perceived Nopon are harmless furballs anyway, they should go the whole hog to get people to underestimate the fuzzy ProudMerchantRace. He promptly fluffed himself up and started talking like an idiot, and the ''entire species'' followed suit. What was at first merely [[TheFakeCutie a deliberate attempt to play up the ridiculous cuteness inherent to Nopons]] ultimately became a legitimate part of their culture.
%% * The titular monkey and his sombrero from ''VideoGame/SambaDeAmigo''.
%% * ''VideoGame/ChuChuRocket'' has the Chuchus and even the [[BigBad Kapu Kapus]].
* ''VideoGame/{{Shadowverse}}'':
** The [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/101541010 Cerberus]] card grants the player two cute puppy like cards, [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/900544010 Mimi]] and [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/900544020 Coco]].
** Runecraft has a [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/101311010 Penguin Wizard]]. That's right, a ''penguin wizard''.
** The [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/101411010 Ivory Dragon]] from the Dragoncraft deck is pretty cute as well.
** [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/101611050 Blood Wolf]] staggers between this and SavageWolf.
** [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/103011060 Hamsa]] card is basically an adorable ''duck''.
** [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/104011040 Owlcat]] is a bizarre cross between an owl and cat, but its expressions in both its forms make it widely adored.
** [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/105221030 Bladed Hedgehog]] is a hedgehog that happens to be insanely adorable despite having dozens of sword-like quills sticking out of its back.
* ''VideoGame/SpiralKnights'' has snipes, adorably pudgy birds that fly around using helicopter wings. The mewkats also fit in, being tiny, higher-pitched, non-aggressive versions of the spookats.
* Omnom from ''VideoGame/CutTheRope''. Especially with the puppy dog eyes he makes if the player fails a level.
** In the sequel, the other nommies.
* ''Vegemon Farm'' is filled with [[http://w.livedoor.jp/vegemon/d/%A5%D9%A5%B8%A5%E2%A5%F3 adorable vegetable creatures]] that serve as the player's front lines against monsters and are residents of the player's farm.
* Taomee's ''VideoGame/LittleFlowerFairy'' has the pet flower fairies the player get from harvesting selected plants.
* The titular Kaburin in the mobile game of the same name, which is now defunct. They are creatures wearing an bag or bucket over their heads. In gameplay, the player throws them to attack enemies.
* The Mimigas from ''VideoGame/CaveStory'' can count. Cute little bunny/dog creatures with big ears. What's not to like? When they're given [[PsychoSerum Red Flowers]], that's what.
* Nugs in ''Franchise/DragonAge'', a combination of the most pleasant traits of piglets and rabbits. You can acquire one as a pet for Leliana in the first game.
** Nugs are somewhat of a subversion due to the fact many people find their tiny little hands to be creepy. As well, they're a primary food source for the dwarves.
* ''VideoGame/{{Pikmin}}'', of course, which utilize every last one of the tricks listed up at the top of the page. Many of the monsters would qualify as well.
* Wiki the bell monkey from ''VideoGame/ZackAndWikiQuestForBarbarosTreasure'' can certainly qualify, with his almost unfaltering cheery face and adorable voice.
%% * Fidget from ''VideoGame/DustAnElysianTail''.
* Mary's dream world in ''VideoGame/DreamingMary'' is exclusively inhabited by cute animal companions. [[spoiler: Except for the Otherworld, that is.]]
* The eponymous critters from Popcap's ''VideoGame/{{Chuzzle}}'' are little more than brightly-colored balls of fur with eyes. They also sneeze if you click on one too much, causing them to suddenly shed all their fur (it grows back), and leaving your pointer hovering over one too much makes them angry, causing them to fling your pointer away with an irritated squeak.
* All of the monkeys that appear in the ''VideoGame/SuperMonkeyBall'' series [[http://files.planet3ds.net/2011/02/main_chara_all_1214.jpg are very cute to look at]]. Especially Baby and [=MeeMee=]!
* The Felynes of ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter''. They're two-foot tall anthropomorphic Siamese cats with the cutest meow ever ("mywah!") and speak in gratuitous catspeak ("purretty" and "beclaws"). They enjoy dancing, and being a SupremeChef is their [[PlanetOfHats racial hat]]; ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter3Tri'' adds a French Felyne chef who says things like "meown ami", and yes, he has the little hat. Let's not forget Poogie, a little pig you can dress up in different costumes, pet, and carry around. [[RuleOfCute There's no real in-game benefit to do this]].
* ''VideoGame/DragonProject'' gives us [[ShoulderSizedDragon Linton]], the adorable friendly orange baby dragon as the mascot for both the Kingdom of Heiland and the game.
** The Mufu family [[note]] Mufu-Mufu, Fu-Fu, Kalulu, and [[OddNameOut Rabbot]] [[/note]] too, although they're just as threatening as other behemoths if you're not careful, especially Rabbot. {{Killer Rabbit}} indeed...
** Ange's HeadPet, a white fluffy squirrel thing, is also pretty adorable.
** The Kraken Story Event introduces the squishy and cuddly Nebbi, as they are so docile that they never attack you. In fact, [[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/470713608838578176/591615106861760522/image0.png they even get their own accessory]] for the PlayerCharacter to wear!
* ''VideoGame/FreedomWars'': Like ''VideoGame/DragonProject'' above, the game also has its own cute orange mascot in the form of [[BearyFriendly Percy Propa]], an adorable teddy bear wearing a large blue Panopticon hat and a civilian's utility belt who helps motivates the Sinners to contribute to their Panopticon for the Greater Good!
* Falling somewhere between being a {{Feelie|s}} and a Ridiculously Cute Critter gives us [[http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2015/14/1427970179-yoshis-woolly-world-amiibos.jpg these adorable yarn Amiibo]] figures that accompanied the launch of ''VideoGame/YoshisWoollyWorld''. Based on the already-cute-as-a-literal-button Yoshis from the game, many media outlets have remarked Nintendo has outdone themselves with these little guys.
* ''Franchise/{{Splatoon}}'':
** Inklings are pretty adorable in both squid and human form. Their competitive, TotallyRadical natures and the upbeat rock-flavored soundtrack offset the cuteness somewhat. The same goes for their octopus counterparts, Octolings, who are more serious and diligent (and their introduction to the series has them trying to kill you), but [[NotSoAboveItAll still know how to have a good time]]. Helps that they all make the cutest noises when excited. Woomy!
** InUniverse, Squee-Gs garner this reaction from a few characters, being small, polka-dotted fish robots that clean up ink. They'd probably be cute to the player as well if them cleaning up ink didn't get in the way of you trying to climb that wall over there.
* All the slimes from ''VideoGame/SlimeRancher'', this is pretty much what the whole game is about. They're almost constantly smiling and make cheerful noises and they look like giant living gumdrops.
* The entire point of ''VideoGame/NekoAtsume'' is to invite adorable cats to play in your yard.
* While most of the monsters in ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' are UglyCute, several of them fall square into the cute critter territory:
** Toriel is a motherly goat monster with such an adorable face that some people just want to hug her.
** [[spoiler:Asriel, who was Toriel's son,]] is ridiculously cute and [[spoiler:his tragic backstory]] only makes him more endearing when you finally meet him. [[spoiler:You can even give him a hug.]]
** Temmies, which are adorable white [[MixAndMatchCritter cat-dog hybrids]] with bizarre, misspelling-ridden speech patterns.
* ''VideoGame/YoKaiWatch'' gives use Jibanyan, Komasan, Komajiro and especially Pinkipoo and Pookivil.
* The Sackboys and Sackgirls from ''VideoGame/LittleBigPlanet''. They even spend much of their time with their mouths open, possibly with their tongues hanging out like little happy puppies.
* ''VideoGame/{{Insaniquarium}}'' has many. The adorable Starcatchers pparticularly stand out with their innocent, big eyes and their CatSmile.
* The Iggles from ''VideoGame/IgglePop'' are literal fuzzy balls of fluff with wide, innocent eyes.
* The moles featured in ''VideoGame/WiiPlayMotion'' are ungodly cute and round. Too bad you have to whack them with a hammer as they are stealing vegetables from your garden.
* Almost every character from ''VideoGame/TheLegendaryStarfy'' series qualify. Heck, the hero is a cute yellow starfish with a huge smile which makes the most adorable noises.
* The various planctons in ''VideoGame/{{Electroplankton}}'' are designed to be adorable: bright, colourful, simplistic, small and smiling.
* While the titular octopus monster from ''VideoGame/{{Octogeddon}}'' isn't anywhere near this trope, its animal buddies do qualify - a smiling pufferfish with big eyes? A bandana-wearing Kung-Fu starfish? The cutest electric eel you have ever seen? Sold!
* All the squids from ''VideoGame/SquidInk'' qualify, what with having a Cat Smile and many having friendly dispositions to boot.
* ''VideoGame/TalesSeries'':
** ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'' has Corrine, a tiny fox-like Summon Spirit under the ownership of Sheena. He's so cute that the even normally {{Stoic}} Presea can't resist getting close with him.
** ''VideoGame/TalesOfBerseria'' has Pengyons, which are brightly-colored piscine penguins native to the tropics. They're actually farmed as a staple food source in Southgand, which means the party have a good deal of fun ribbing TokenGoodTeammate Eleanor for doing something as barbaric as eating such a cute creature (and finding them delicious, apparently).
** ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss'' has the cheagles. The mere sight of them sends Tear into a [[CutenessProximity stupor]] over the sheer cute of them; she's not alone as all the girls enjoy the TeamPet Mieu just for cuteness value. Luke isn't too fond of them however and finds Mieu irritating; even after he TookALevelInKindness he still calls him annoying to his face.
** ''VideoGame/TalesOfArise'' has owls, which are round, fluffy, and happen to make all sorts of cute noises. One of them, Hootle, who's also FunSize due to being a chick, also acts as the party's TeamPet.
* ''VideoGame/PhantasyStar'' series has the Rappy (at first called "Chirper"), a [[https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/phantasystar/images/1/19/Toyo_chirper.png chubby yellow bird]] that slowly but surely [[https://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/phantasystar/images/0/0c/Rag_rappy.gif evolved]] to become the [[https://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/phantasystar/images/d/d1/Rappyconceptz.png adorable mascot]] we now know of.
* ''VideoGame/BoxxyQuestTheGatheringStorm'':
** In Chapter 6, the Hype Train is staffed entirely by chibi-esque talking frogs and kittens. They speak childishly, and seem to be largely oblivious of the [[ThrillerOnTheExpress murder mystery that's unfolding on their train]].
** Later in the same chapter, we meet the Turnip Tribe, who are utterly ''adorable'' with their derpy little eyes and smiles. The baby turnip/crab hybrid manages to be super cute despite being only a few pixels tall. [[SugarApocalypse Sadly, things don't end too well for them]].
* An orange, crazy, genetically modified marsupial doesn't exactly sound like this trope, but Videogame/CrashBandicoot is very much this and UglyCute at the same time, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1w5kMoYcTSs especially when he dances]]. His {{Moe}} younger sister Coco even more so.
* ''VideoGame/ReachinPichin'' stars Pichin, an adorable bird-flan-peach creature. His evolved forms are equally cute.
* ''VideoGame/RocoKingdom'' [[TheMockbuster follows greatly in the steps of]] ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' in multiple ways, including having a cute electric mouse {{mon}} named Dimo to serve as main character Roco's partner, similar to Pikachu.
* ''VideoGame/PillarsOfEternity'': Itumaak, Sagani's AnimalCompanion is an utterly adorable, bright white arctic fox. Edér is very upset that Itumaak bites him whenever he tries to pet Itumaak.
--> If I'm not meant to pet him, then WHY IS HE SO SOFT?!
* The Tims in ''VideoGame/BalanWonderworld'' are fluffy animalistic squeaky blobs that follow the player and can sometimes assist in levels.
* A few of the potential species portraits in ''VideoGame/{{Stellaris}}'' fit into this mold. Of particular note are [[https://stellaris.paradoxwikis.com/Species#/media/File:Reptilian_16.png Reptilian portrait #16]], which are guranteed to be the appearance of [[spoiler: the [[BloodKnight aggressive]] AbsoluteXenophobe [[CuteIsEvil Prikkiki-Ti]]]].
* The protagonist of ''VideoGame/{{Tunic}}'' is an adorable little orange fox in a green adventurer's tunic.
* The entire monster design philosophy of ''Videogame/PatchQuest'' is to make bright, cute, cartoony creatures.
* ''VideoGame/MyFriendlyNeighborhood'' has the mice puppets; being small, round, hopping in place and making little adorable squeaks.
* [[VideoGame/AuraAuraClimber Aura-Aura]] is possibly the cutest star ever. And if the game says anything, it's that [[http://yctag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/aura-3.jpg he's no bigger than a basketball]]!
* ''VideoGame/{{Bomberman}}'' is just OOZING with them, to the point of risking CutenessOverload. Let's start listing them off:
** The roois[=/=]Louies from ''Bomberman '94''[=/=]''Mega Bomberman'' onward, [[KangaroosRepresentAustralia adorable kangaroos]] that [[PowerupMount give Bomberman a ride]]. White Bomber in ''VideoGame/BombermanJetters'' also has a small one as a pet companion.
** The dinosaurs that [[PowerupMount also serve as mounts]]. In ''Super Bomberman 4'', they start off as generic enemies early in the game until you blast them, at which point they turn into eggs. Walk over your first egg and you get to ride one, as well as gaining spike bombs. Any additional eggs you collect follow behind, Yoshi-style. ''Saturn Bomberman'' instead features different dinosaurs as general Louie replacements, also with unique abilities.
** The [[{{Mons}} Charaboms]] in general, but especially Pommy, debuting in ''VideoGame/Bomberman64TheSecondAttack'' He even introduces himself to a few {{Mook}}s as "the cutest hero in the galaxy"!
** If ''Anime/BombermanBDamanBakugaiden IV'' qualifies, there's the B-Darons; mostly {{Funny Animal}}s that don't talk, but clearly show intelligence nonetheless. And many of them are indeed adorable, to the point of young Bomberwomen getting CutenessProximity reactions around them right in the third episode!
** See something at the start of the stage that looks innocent and adorable? [[EverythingTryingToKillYou It'll probably kill you on contact.]] They might be kid mice holding balloons at an amusement park or weird panda umbrella [[BuffySpeak things]], but they're still every bit as deadly as everything else.
* Lex from ''{{VideoGame/Bookworm}}'' looks unbelievably proper and adorable despite being, well, a bookworm.
%% * The cats in VideoGame/CatPlanet!
* ''{{VideoGame/Chrono Cross}}'' has Draggy, for being a cute newborn dragon and Pip, a creature that can evolve into cute forms as well.
* The ''Franchise/DragonQuest'' series is ''chock-full'' of endearingly adorable monsters no matter which entry. Even the "menacing" monsters like dragons/golems/inanimate suits of armor/etc. tend to be UglyCute at worst. Several notable examples include:
** The most famous of them all are the [[CuteSlimeMook Slimes]]; cute little blue droplets with a big happy smile. Whenever they talk, they tend to replace certain words and syllables with slime-related puns (like "gooman" instead of "human"), and they're always given child-like voices.
** Imps are diminutive demons with googly eyes, a big tongue sticking out ([[ElmuhFuddSyndwome which makes them talk like Elmer Fudd]]), and a big pitchfork that looks more like a table fork. They're also a subversion of [[KillerRabbit Killer Rabbits]]; although they have access to incredibly dangerous spells like [[OneHitKill Kathwack]], their MP is way too low to cast it.
** Drackys, bat-like creatures with adorable toothy grins.
** Great Sabrecubs, the younger versions of the fearsome Great Sabrecats, are essentially just kittens with the same flowing mane as their adult counterparts.
** Sham hatwitch, a recent monster in [[VideoGame/DragonQuestX later]] [[VideoGame/DragonQuestXI entries]], they are small warthogs with comically-oversized hats.
%% * A good slew of ''VideoGame/DragonQuest'' monsters also apply, particularly the iconic Slime creatures.
* The fluffy wamblers from ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress'' are described as, "known and beloved for their warm hearts, gentle natures, and stumble bumblings... They are widely held to be 'adorable,' and many [[EatTheDog dwarves consider them to be a delicacy]]." They're also respected as killers of [[ImplacableMan bronze colossi]].[[note]]After a famous occurrence of an adventurer (somehow) killing a colossus by throwing a wambler at it.[[/note]]
* ''[[VideoGame/ExtrapowerAttackOfDarkforce EXTRAPOWER Attack of Darkforce]]'': Three of the Hikari Warriors have adorable NonHumanSidekick, Pururu for the Blue Warrior, Pororo for the Green Warrior, and Purara aids the Red Warrior.
* The ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' series has several:
** Most iconic are the Moogles, little white fuzzballs who [[VerbalTic say "kupo" all the time]]. [[VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy Not even]] [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI Terra]] [[http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091008034808/finalfantasy/images/b/b5/DFF_Terra_and_Moogle.png can resist the cute]]. [[EmotionlessGirl Lightning can]].
** Chocobos, yellow birds used as [[HorseOfADifferentColor mounts]], may or may not be ridiculously cute depending on the ArtShift of the game.
*** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXI'', not only do you have cute chocobos, you also have the even cuter BABY chocobos. Baby chocobos have also made it as merchandise as a [[http://www.playonline.com/ff11eu/topics/special/imgs/goods14.jpg noisy but oh so cute toy]].
*** There's a number of Final Fantasy spinoffs known collectively as the Chocobo series, all featuring the same [[http://www.vgblogger.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/06/FFF-Chocobos%20Dungeon.jpg ridiculously adorable protagonist]].
*** From ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'', Sazh's baby chocobo fits into this trope. It's essentially a fluffy infant chicken that can fly. Amping this up is an optional scene on Gran Pulse in which Sazh's baby chocobo meets baby chocobos of Gran Pulse.
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'' has Moombas, apparently an [[EvolutionaryLevels evolved form]] of the big ugly humanoid Shumi.
** Tonberry is certainly cute as he slowly waddles across the battlefield, pokes you with his cute little knife, and [[KillerRabbit you fall over dead]].
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' has Cait Sith. He's essentially a bipedal cat, but with an oversized head to make him even cuter.
** The Carbuncle, in the games where it is portrayed as a cat (or fox)-like mammal with huge ears, beady eyes, and rounded snout, like ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'' or ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXI''. Not so much in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV'' or ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'', where it's more reptilian (and is actually a large and menacing boss monster in the former.) Or ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyCrystalChronicles'', where it looks like something entirely different. DoubleSubversion with ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV'': You have to fight a very feral-looking one at first, but then you [[SummonMagic summon]] it and instead get the adorable, Reflect-buffing, shiny-[[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Espeon]]-esque creature that's pretty much standard for the later games. Yes, including ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI''. ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'' outright [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] how increasingly adorable it gets with each game.
*** Even in Crystal Chronicles it's pretty adorable, [[http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080324225046/finalfantasy/images/7/74/Ffcc_carbuncle.jpg looking like some big fluffy green Totoro]].
** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'', they threw in some literal [[KillerRabbit Killer Rabbits]] by introducing some bosses in the form of the game's terribly cute Dream Hare creatures (imagine a tiny bunny with a giant puffball tail and feathers for ears, and that's about the gist of it). Fury, one of the optional mini-bosses, is one of those.
** The Nu Mou race from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTacticsAdvance'' and ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTacticsA2''. They've got big furry tails, long and droopy ears like a dog, and their face finishes the rest of their cuteness. Of course, these cute factors run away when you start to see them slaughter your team with powerful magic spells if you find them as enemies. Their ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'' incarnations goes the [[UglyCute complete opposite end of cute]].
** The Lalafells of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'' are an entire humanoid race that seems devoted to this concept. They have the largest, most expressive eyes of any playable race in the game (and even a choice to have shimmering pupil less jewel eyes), tiny beady noses, and large pointed ears. Also, they max out at about three feet tall. Even their battle cries will make you want to drop your weapons and give them hugs!
*** In the same game, there's the Namazu, which are a beastmen race that are modeled after catfish. Their googly eyes, short and chubby stature, doofy personalities, and the squeaks they make when they waddle make the Namazu ridiculously cute. There's also merchandise made after them.
*** ''Shadowbringers'' introduces the Great Serpents of Ronka (Scree!), a species of {{Tsuchinoko}} with beady eyes and CuteLittleFangs that get around by bouncing on their chubby bellies rather than slither. Three variations of them are available as minions (one with a mining helmet, one with a farmer hat and bandana, and the original hatless variety), and two larger specimens as mounts hiding inside levitating pottery.
* If you have the right items, you can turn yourself into a small cute frog, rabbit, dog, etc. in ''Website/GaiaOnline''. Cue the delight if you enter the Zomg! game as a frog. Not to mention all the fluffs in the game itself.
* ''VideoGame/GhostTrick'' gives us [[http://superdrama.deviantart.com/art/WP-Ghost-Trick-Missile-166878180 Missile]], the BadAssAdorable Pomeranian. Missile was previously featured in ''Franchise/AceAttorney'', where he looked more like a Shiba Inu, but with the same amount of adorableness.
* ''VideoGame/GuildWars'' has rollerbeetles, giant [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin rolling beetles]] that make cute little chittering noises. During Canthan festivals, you even get to participate in ''Mario Kart''-style rollerbeetle races.
** ''VideoGame/GuildWars2'' features [[spoiler:[[http://scontent.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/s480x480/e35/14449096_100584140408218_8027467603356155904_n.jpg?ig_cache_key=MTM0NzI4NjgyNzc0MDA4NTY4MQ%3D%3D.2 Aurene]], Glint's very recently hatched adorably cute offspring.]]
* ''VideoGame/HelloKittyOnline'': ''All'' of the mooks are even cuter than they are dangerously aggressive. As is pretty much everything else in this SugarBowl world.
* Pretty much any character in the ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'' games is some degree of cute, given the [[SugarBowl setting]]. [[Characters/KirbyKirby Kirby himself]], a round little pink orb of cuteness, is no exception, as are the [[TheGoomba Waddle Dees]], a race of adorable {{Waddling Head}}s that look a bit like stuffed toys. But [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/elfilin.png Elfilin]], the BigGood of ''VideoGame/KirbyAndTheForgottenLand'', takes the cake. He's basically a chinchilla with fluffy blue-green fur and huge ears he can use to [[EarWings fly around]]. And just when you've finished staring into his InnocentBlueEyes, you'll realize his entire body is ''shaped like a heart''. It's like [=HAL=] made him to be loved.
* ''VideoGame/{{Klonoa}}'': [[MixAndMatchCritters Nobody's really sure just what]] the eponymous protagonist is, beyond the adjectives "cute", "long-eared", and "fuzz-covered". WordOfGod claims that Klonoa's a cat with long ears. This really applies to pretty much almost everything in his games, as well.
* [[TheGoomba Shadows]] from ''Franchise/KingdomHearts''. Big heads, big, wide eyes, and so little and huggable looking. A lot of the smaller Heartless fall into this category. They are so huggable you can almost ignore the fact that if you get within an arms' reach they will plunge whatever limbs they have inside your chest and rip your heart out.
** Most of the Dream Eaters in ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance'' were designed with this intent.
** The Chirithy from ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsX'' and ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII''. An adorable race of Dream Eaters resembling small stuffed cats with capes and little pouches [[https://kh.wiki.gallery/images/1/11/Chirithy_KHIII.png See here.]]
* The Yordles from ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' count, pretty much being [[Franchise/FinalFantasy Moogles]] in all but name. Teemo in particular was the game's first designated cute champion.
** Also Fizz, who is basically an amphibian Yordle.
** [[https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Poro Poros]] which inhabit the Howling Abyss map, who are tiny white furballs with very small limbs, disproportionately large tongues and goat-like horns. They can be fed a Poro-Snax, which will [[http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/545/044/0cf.gif cause them to happily run around in a circle]] once and grow larger.
*** If fed by Braum, they grow a moustache. If fed by enough players ''and'' Braum, however, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlhLiih9joI this happens]].
** Poros ''really'' came into their own in the ''VideoGame/LegendsOfRuneterra'' CCG, giving us a look at various different varieties of poros and the crazy, adorable things they do. Loremaster Necrit did [[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+11%3A12-14&version=NIV an analysis]] of all the poro cards in the game's first release after Riot declared that every card in the game was canonical. Their fluff is truly infinite, to the point where the collective noun for a group of poros is a ''fluft''.
* ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'' introduces the Aranara in its Sumeru update. The Aranara are a race of mystical plantlike spirits who reside in the secluded Mahavanaranapna in Sumeru, and are only visible to young children or adventurers who have received the blessing of Dendro. They are characterized by their very short height, simple and rotund body shape, a cute leafy hat as well as facial features which look like a child doodled them on. They also have a youthful singing voice, a cutesy sound to their footsteps and are overall pleasant little creatures to be around who only wish for the well-being of the Traveler and the rainforest.
* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'':
** Link's [[BecomingTheCostume Deku form]] in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Majora's Mask]]''. He retains his cap, which is almost as big as he is!
** ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Skyward Sword]]'' has Remlits, little siamese cat-raccon things with big bat ears... at least, during the ''day''. At night they're a [[http://www.zeldawiki.org/images/6/6b/Remlit.png whole different matter]]... You can make the Remlits stay ridiculously adorable ''all the time'' if you complete a certain sidequest, however.
** Also in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Skyward Sword]]'', the Kikwis, who resemble a cross between a penguin, a beaver, and a shrub. Not to mention their VerbalTic...
** The Maiamais from ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkBetweenWorlds A Link Between Worlds]]'' are small crab-octopus creatures that you have to collect. They make cute squeaky noises and you bring them back to their mother, which looks like a PuniPlush version of an Octorok.
* Nall and Ruby from ''VideoGame/{{Lunar}}'', being what appear to be adorable winged cats with high-pitched voices. [[spoiler:Until they become full-fledged dragons.]]
* Furrikin in ''VideoGame/{{Lusternia}}''. Bipedal, intelligent little fuzzballs, they resemble anthropomorphic archetypical animals. Furrikin can look like anything from a panda bear to a raccoon to a sheep, but don't let their appearance fool you - they're smarter than humans and ''very'' fast. [[KillerRabbit And not all of them are peaceful, either.]]
* ''VideoGame/NellyCootalot'' has spoonbeaks from the Barony of Meeth, which are not only cute for their eponymous spoon-shaped bills, but also serve to show [[spoiler:how evil [[BigBad Baron Widebeard]] can be when he enslaves them to work in the Saul Mines]].
* Creator/NipponIchi games have Prinnies, dood. Fat, cuddly looking penguins with squeaky voices.
** Also the Eryngi, goofy dancing/boxing mushrooms with adorable faces and high-pitched voices.
* Chibiterasu of ''VideoGame/{{Okamiden}}'', [[SpinOffspring a puppy replacement]] for Amaterasu of ''VideoGame/{{Okami}}'', is undeniably cute. All the brush gods' offspring qualify, as well. Especially [[http://timenerdworld.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/okamiden-thunderstorm.jpg?w=212&h=300 Gekigami's]].
%% * Ori from ''VideoGame/OriAndTheBlindForest''.
* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'': About half of all Pokémon start off like this, then get [[GiganticAdultsTinyBabies bigger]] and (slightly) less cute as they evolve. (Kind of like [[TruthInTelevision real baby animals]].)
** Except [[VideoGame/PokemonXAndY Goomy]], who becomes ''cuter'' as it evolves. Feebas is an intentional exception; it starts off as an ugly, ratty fish, [[TrueBeautyIsOnTheInside but evolves into a gorgeous]] (and [[MagikarpPower somewhat overpowered at times]]) Milotic. The drooling Gloom becomes a pretty Bellossom when you use a Sun Stone on it.
** ''[[VideoGame/PokemonXAndY Generation VI]]'' has a whole category for this kind of Pokémon (well, except [[{{Gonk}} Granbull]]), the aptly-named "[[SuperCuteSuperPowers Fairy]]" type, and a [[SugarBowl matching]] gym dedicated to it in XY.
** ''VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield'' not only showcased [[SillySimian Grookey]], [[BunniesForCuteness Scorbunny]], and [[LovableLizard Sobble]] as the starters; the utterly fluffy [[SweetSheep Wooloo]] is described as a timid and peaceful creature that rolls away from conflict. Wooloo is so adorable that the [[EnsembleDarkHorse Pokémon has gotten tons of fanart minutes after its reveal.]]
** Depending on your thoughts on spiders, Joltik and Galvantula can come off as either this or UglyCute. Both of them are fluffy yellow spiders with big blue PuppyDogEyes that make you want to pick them up and snuggle them to death (Joltik moreso). Not to mention the large amount of cute Galvantula artwork such as [[https://tse2.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.4si754vQZUhjbxP78mNEZwHaFj&pid=Api&P=0&w=300&h=300 this]].
** ''VideoGame/PokemonScarletAndViolet'' introduced ''many'' very adorable Pokémon. To name just a few:
*** The starters this Generation: Sprigatito the CuteKitten with the ability to create relaxing therapeutic auras, Fuecoco the happy-go-lucky fire crocodile that loves to eat, and the Water-type duckling Quaxly with its meticulously cared-for pompadour.
*** Fidough, a Fairy-type dachshund puppy made of bread dough with a tiny face. Its evolution Dachsbun, looking like a walking loaf of fresh bread, manages to be every bit as cute.
*** Tandemaus consists of two tiny white mice [[BattleCouple working together to fight]] which will eventually become a Maushold, consisting of the same two mice from before but now accompanied by one or two even tinier mice who fight alongside their parents/guardians.
*** Cetoddle, a land-whale with enormous eyes and a round, very huggable appearance which can often be found in large groups that walk up to the player to watch them curiously.
*** [[spoiler: Ogerpon]], introduced in the Teal Mask DLC campaign, is initially feared by the populace of the Kitakami region, but [[spoiler:is ultimately revealed to be a very sweet-natured and fun-loving Pokémon (but nevertheless [[BadassAdorable a force to be reckoned with when the chips are down]]) and [[https://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/7/7b/Unmasked_Ogerpon_ScViTM.png.png whose face behind her various masks is exceedingly cute]].]] Once the misunderstanding is cleared up, [[spoiler:one of the villagers even comments on how adorable she is]].
*** [[spoiler:Terapagos]] from ''The Indigo Disk'' is also very cute, especially in its initial form. [[spoiler:It looks like a tiny blue turtle with a gem for a shell, and it has big eyes with star-shaped pupils. Its first action upon waking up is to yawn adorably and look curiously up at the player character]].
* [[https://fingerguns.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/117735_co1kyk.jpg This]] is [[PlayerCharacter who you play as]] in ''VideoGame/{{Tamarin}}''.
* ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'':
** Being [[AmazingTechnicolorWildlife colorful animals]], the main characters are naturally predisposed to cuteness, and many a dedicated fan has even made the likes of the stubborn, cold-faced Blaze the Cat into [[http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs26/i/2009/166/c/6/Blaze_Cat_I__m_a_kitty_cat_by_blazedacat.jpg something adorable]].
** Anyone who's seen the [[https://nintendoeverything.com/wp-content/uploads/sonic-chao.jpg Chao]] would think they're cute.
%% ** [[http://www.sonicgear.org/AustraliaPages/Australia%20Photos/HappyPlushF.jpg Sonic's original Genesis design]]. It started to leave the trope around ''Sonic 3'' and it left entirely around VideoGame/SonicAdventure. It came back in VideoGame/SonicGenerations.
%% ** [[http://calmdowntom.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Tails_gen.jpg Tails]], especially [[http://images.wikia.com/sonic/images/1/11/Tails_classic.jpg before Sonic Adventure]].
%% ** [[http://media.sonicscanf.org//gallery/chao-3/sonic-channel.png Chao]], the adorable little pet {{Mons}} who debuted in ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'', and [[http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130806073615/fantendo/images/b/b0/Wisps.png the Wisps]], who got their start in ''VideoGame/SonicColors''. So cute!
%% ** [[http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140805225907/sonicfanon/images/f/f8/Cream_the_rabbit_by_terrarita-d4zk6cl.png Cream the Rabbit]] was likely designed just for this.
%% ** [[GenkiGirl Amy Rose's]] [[http://info.sonicretro.org/images/7/78/Sonicjam_amy_32.png classic design is adorable too]], as is [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/sonic/images/7/79/Amy_Rose_Lost_World.png/revision/latest?cb=20150909071641 her modern design]].
%% ** The small animal friends you rescue in the older ''Sonic'' games, and ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog4''.
%% ** The Chao in the ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'' games.
%% ** The Wisps in ''VideoGame/SonicColors''.
%% ** ''VideoGame/SonicRunners'' introduced baby Wisps, which, among other changes from their older counterparts, all constantly have pacifiers in their mouths.
* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'':
** Yoshi easily falls under this. Being a small dinosaur with huge but adorable eyes, a big nose, orange boot-like shoes, and sounding cute whenever he "speaks" (saying "Yoshi!", various exclamations such as "Wow!", "Whoa!", "Yay!", "Ha!" and "Wah!", and several unintelligible noises), who's to say he's not cute? Though he does get less cute when you find out [[CuteBruiser how exactly he can whip some ass]] in the Mario and ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' series.
** The Toads are very cute with their small proportions and their big heads, giving the impression that they are a race consisting entirely of little kids. This is even lampshaded in WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosMovie, where they make PuppyDogEyes in one scene.
--->'''Toad:''' How? Look at us! We're adorable!
** Ever since his first appearance in ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' Dorrie, the adorable blue plesiosaur-like creature who can be found in Hazy Cave Maze constantly swimming in circles and will gladly give Mario a ride across water and lowering his neck to allow Mario to climb onto his head to reach high areas. A signpost near the lake in which he resides states that he might eat visitors who come too close, although he is completely harmless. In the [[VideoGame/SuperMario64DS remake]], his design has changed from a beady-eyed creature into a design which has strong elements akin to Yoshi, sharing a similar round, friendly face and placement of the eyes and nostrils, with the most noticeable change is wearing a pair of goggles. In ''VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey'' Dorries of different colors can be seen swimming around wearing hats.
** The Ukiki from ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'', which is an adorable little monkey you see when scaling Tall, Tall Mountain. Most curious players have picked him up in hopes of carrying him around the level, and then he steals your hat...
** ''VideoGame/SuperMario64DS'' introduces some adorable colorful rabbits you chase after in order to gain access to a location due to each of them having a key.
** The Lumas, introduced in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy'', are little sparkly star-shaped critters that also sound very cute when speaking. Many of them live under the care of their adoptive mother Rosalina, whom they call "Mama", which does not help matters.
** ''VideoGame/SuperMario3DWorld'' introduces Plessie, which can be summed up as "Yoshi's possible distant cousin"; he has the face of Yoshi with the body of a cartoon Loch Ness monster and wears a red bandana. You ride Plessie like a super fast jet ski during some water sections of a level and when you have to leave him behind, he gives you a friendly wave goodbye. You can even tickle him using the Gamepad, causing him to giggle!
** ''VideoGame/PrincessPeachShowtime'' has Peach's magical companion, Stella who's a small adorably cheery 8-pointed star sprite who's the guardian of the Sparkle Theater. She serves as Peach's guide through the plays she reenacts in her quest to defeat the WickedWitch Grape with the magical ribbon she conjures for Peach when they first meet serving as the princess' TransformationTrinket.
** While not directly involved in the mainline Mario games, [[VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry Diddy Kong]] tends to give off this vibe thanks to his large eyes, red baseball cap with the Nintendo logo on it, long prehensile tail, and rather adorable voice.
*** Ditto for his girlfriend Dixie Kong, who is just as adorable if not more so. Her little sister Tiny Kong used to qualify for this, but after a redesign looks more mature and less cutesy.
* The main Monsters you run into in ''VideoGame/WarioLandShakeIt'' are little bandana-waring red balls with feet and mouths known as Bandineros. They don't actually do any damage, they just walk about and bounce off your fat gut, and grabbing them causes them to panic in a way that can cause just a little bit of empathy for them. Also, they come in multiple types - yellow (they jump all about the stage), blue (they inflate and float, making a face that looks suspiciously like that anime "Hey-I'm-cute" face we all know and love (:3, to be exact) all the while), and a lighter blue (they have forks on their head which can actualy harm you, but cause them to get stuck to the cealing or walls when thrown, with struggling included). It seems even the game likes them, as some missions to unlock the music soundtrack require you to get through a stage without killing a single baddie.
* Cute little Kyu-Kyu of ''VideoGame/VanguardBandits'', a platypus who's always hanging around his human [[BadassAdorable Nana]].
* ''VideoGame/WorldOfMana'':
** Rabites. As the name suggests, the look a little like rabbits, but rounder and fluffier. They are usually the earliest and weakest enemies in each game, but ''VideoGame/TrialsOfMana'' features the Black Rabite as the ridiculously powerful {{Superboss}}. [[KillerRabbit Evil in its cutest form!]]
** Flammie from the same franchise. He's a fluffy, four angel winged dragon with big eyes and ears.
%% ** The cat enemies and [[http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/1/10234/267690-neko.jpg Neko shopkeeper.]]
* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' has many "Vanity Pets" (as opposed to Combat Pets [[AnAdventurerIsYou used by]] [[TheBeastmaster hunters]]) that fall into this category, including a panda cub (which ups the ante by ''falling asleep''), dragon whelps and baby murlocs. Okay, not many consider murlocs cute, but the baby version is so much cutie-fied (and does a funny dance) that most people don't care. In ''Wrath of the Lich King'' there is a quest where you have to rescue baby murlocs being kept locked up in cages... and when you open them, sometimes they say, "Mama?" or "Dada?" and then they follow you in a little scampering group.
* The ''VideoGame/{{Zork}}'' universe has the minx, "an irresistibly cuddly animal which shares all the most ingratiating characteristics of kittens, koala bears, and piglets."
* The titular VideoGame/{{Knytt}} and [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YcJN5ZAyGRg/RjMk6tqDDOI/AAAAAAAAAN0/v7R8Wh5ADd4/s400/knytt1.GIF its mouse-like scurring up walls.]] It is (and his species) a cross between a kangaroo and a tiny T-Rex.
%% * The Djinn from ''VideoGame/GoldenSun''. Look at [[http://goldensunwiki.net/w/images/c/c4/Djinn.png this]].
* Teddie from ''VideoGame/Persona4'', it's like this trope page is describing him on purpose. As the name would suggest, he looks like an overly large, animate teddy bear, with short arms and legs and a ''huge'' head and eyes. Funny enough, it ''is'' kind of describing him on purpose-Teddie looks the way he does because he wanted humans to like him.
* ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'':
** Baby mobs are just the normal mobs with a smaller body and a head of the same size as the old ones, but they're still very cute.
** As of the "Pretty Scary" update, bats count as well. They're small brown flying bundles with big ears that make adorable squeaks and hang on walls by their tiny little feet.
* The Nopon in ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1''. Small? Check. Fluffy? Check. [[YouNoTakeCandle Adorable speech pattern?]] Check. This cuteness causes a stark contrast from the other more-humanoid sentient beings in the world, and they are fully aware of it. Some Nopon lament that other races tend to not take them seriously, while others use their cuteness to their advantage (resulting in sidequests covering material darker than one'd expect from a token cutesy species, like [[spoiler:breaking up a drug-smuggling ring]]).
** They're back in the sequel ''VideoGame/XenobladeChroniclesX'', where they're natives of planet Mira. That's right, the cute little merchant puffballs have evolved and survived on a planet where humans with mini-mecha are experiencing severe survival issues. They achieve this by hiding and traveling smart, though, so they're noncombatants.
** They show up once again in ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2''. Only [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/xenoblade/images/8/85/XC2-Bana.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20170914010207 Bana]], [[CorruptCorporateExecutive the chairman of the Argentum Trade Guild]], is designed to be [[{{Gonk}} not-so-cute]] compared to the rest of his species to showcase his slimy nature.
*** ''2'' also reveals in a sidequest that, centuries prior, Nopon were capable of speaking the common language just as well as any other race. Then, the famous Nopon pirate Captain Nopopon proposed that, since everybody else already perceived Nopon are harmless furballs anyway, they should go the whole hog to get people to underestimate the fuzzy ProudMerchantRace. He promptly fluffed himself up and started talking like an idiot, and the ''entire species'' followed suit. What was at first merely [[TheFakeCutie a deliberate attempt to play up the ridiculous cuteness inherent to Nopons]] ultimately became a legitimate part of their culture.
%% * The titular monkey and his sombrero from ''VideoGame/SambaDeAmigo''.
%% * ''VideoGame/ChuChuRocket'' has the Chuchus and even the [[BigBad Kapu Kapus]].
* ''VideoGame/{{Shadowverse}}'':
** The [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/101541010 Cerberus]] card grants the player two cute puppy like cards, [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/900544010 Mimi]] and [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/900544020 Coco]].
** Runecraft has a [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/101311010 Penguin Wizard]]. That's right, a ''penguin wizard''.
** The [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/101411010 Ivory Dragon]] from the Dragoncraft deck is pretty cute as well.
** [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/101611050 Blood Wolf]] staggers between this and SavageWolf.
** [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/103011060 Hamsa]] card is basically an adorable ''duck''.
** [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/104011040 Owlcat]] is a bizarre cross between an owl and cat, but its expressions in both its forms make it widely adored.
** [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/105221030 Bladed Hedgehog]] is a hedgehog that happens to be insanely adorable despite having dozens of sword-like quills sticking out of its back.
* ''VideoGame/SpiralKnights'' has snipes, adorably pudgy birds that fly around using helicopter wings. The mewkats also fit in, being tiny, higher-pitched, non-aggressive versions of the spookats.
* Omnom from ''VideoGame/CutTheRope''. Especially with the puppy dog eyes he makes if the player fails a level.
** In the sequel, the other nommies.
* ''Vegemon Farm'' is filled with [[http://w.livedoor.jp/vegemon/d/%A5%D9%A5%B8%A5%E2%A5%F3 adorable vegetable creatures]] that serve as the player's front lines against monsters and are residents of the player's farm.
* Taomee's ''VideoGame/LittleFlowerFairy'' has the pet flower fairies the player get from harvesting selected plants.
* The titular Kaburin in the mobile game of the same name, which is now defunct. They are creatures wearing an bag or bucket over their heads. In gameplay, the player throws them to attack enemies.
* The Mimigas from ''VideoGame/CaveStory'' can count. Cute little bunny/dog creatures with big ears. What's not to like? When they're given [[PsychoSerum Red Flowers]], that's what.
* Nugs in ''Franchise/DragonAge'', a combination of the most pleasant traits of piglets and rabbits. You can acquire one as a pet for Leliana in the first game.
** Nugs are somewhat of a subversion due to the fact many people find their tiny little hands to be creepy. As well, they're a primary food source for the dwarves.
* ''VideoGame/{{Pikmin}}'', of course, which utilize every last one of the tricks listed up at the top of the page. Many of the monsters would qualify as well.
* Wiki the bell monkey from ''VideoGame/ZackAndWikiQuestForBarbarosTreasure'' can certainly qualify, with his almost unfaltering cheery face and adorable voice.
%% * Fidget from ''VideoGame/DustAnElysianTail''.
* Mary's dream world in ''VideoGame/DreamingMary'' is exclusively inhabited by cute animal companions. [[spoiler: Except for the Otherworld, that is.]]
* The eponymous critters from Popcap's ''VideoGame/{{Chuzzle}}'' are little more than brightly-colored balls of fur with eyes. They also sneeze if you click on one too much, causing them to suddenly shed all their fur (it grows back), and leaving your pointer hovering over one too much makes them angry, causing them to fling your pointer away with an irritated squeak.
* All of the monkeys that appear in the ''VideoGame/SuperMonkeyBall'' series [[http://files.planet3ds.net/2011/02/main_chara_all_1214.jpg are very cute to look at]]. Especially Baby and [=MeeMee=]!
* The Felynes of ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter''. They're two-foot tall anthropomorphic Siamese cats with the cutest meow ever ("mywah!") and speak in gratuitous catspeak ("purretty" and "beclaws"). They enjoy dancing, and being a SupremeChef is their [[PlanetOfHats racial hat]]; ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter3Tri'' adds a French Felyne chef who says things like "meown ami", and yes, he has the little hat. Let's not forget Poogie, a little pig you can dress up in different costumes, pet, and carry around. [[RuleOfCute There's no real in-game benefit to do this]].
* ''VideoGame/DragonProject'' gives us [[ShoulderSizedDragon Linton]], the adorable friendly orange baby dragon as the mascot for both the Kingdom of Heiland and the game.
** The Mufu family [[note]] Mufu-Mufu, Fu-Fu, Kalulu, and [[OddNameOut Rabbot]] [[/note]] too, although they're just as threatening as other behemoths if you're not careful, especially Rabbot. {{Killer Rabbit}} indeed...
** Ange's HeadPet, a white fluffy squirrel thing, is also pretty adorable.
** The Kraken Story Event introduces the squishy and cuddly Nebbi, as they are so docile that they never attack you. In fact, [[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/470713608838578176/591615106861760522/image0.png they even get their own accessory]] for the PlayerCharacter to wear!
* ''VideoGame/FreedomWars'': Like ''VideoGame/DragonProject'' above, the game also has its own cute orange mascot in the form of [[BearyFriendly Percy Propa]], an adorable teddy bear wearing a large blue Panopticon hat and a civilian's utility belt who helps motivates the Sinners to contribute to their Panopticon for the Greater Good!
* Falling somewhere between being a {{Feelie|s}} and a Ridiculously Cute Critter gives us [[http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2015/14/1427970179-yoshis-woolly-world-amiibos.jpg these adorable yarn Amiibo]] figures that accompanied the launch of ''VideoGame/YoshisWoollyWorld''. Based on the already-cute-as-a-literal-button Yoshis from the game, many media outlets have remarked Nintendo has outdone themselves with these little guys.
* ''Franchise/{{Splatoon}}'':
** Inklings are pretty adorable in both squid and human form. Their competitive, TotallyRadical natures and the upbeat rock-flavored soundtrack offset the cuteness somewhat. The same goes for their octopus counterparts, Octolings, who are more serious and diligent (and their introduction to the series has them trying to kill you), but [[NotSoAboveItAll still know how to have a good time]]. Helps that they all make the cutest noises when excited. Woomy!
** InUniverse, Squee-Gs garner this reaction from a few characters, being small, polka-dotted fish robots that clean up ink. They'd probably be cute to the player as well if them cleaning up ink didn't get in the way of you trying to climb that wall over there.
* All the slimes from ''VideoGame/SlimeRancher'', this is pretty much what the whole game is about. They're almost constantly smiling and make cheerful noises and they look like giant living gumdrops.
* The entire point of ''VideoGame/NekoAtsume'' is to invite adorable cats to play in your yard.
* While most of the monsters in ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' are UglyCute, several of them fall square into the cute critter territory:
** Toriel is a motherly goat monster with such an adorable face that some people just want to hug her.
** [[spoiler:Asriel, who was Toriel's son,]] is ridiculously cute and [[spoiler:his tragic backstory]] only makes him more endearing when you finally meet him. [[spoiler:You can even give him a hug.]]
** Temmies, which are adorable white [[MixAndMatchCritter cat-dog hybrids]] with bizarre, misspelling-ridden speech patterns.
* ''VideoGame/YoKaiWatch'' gives use Jibanyan, Komasan, Komajiro and especially Pinkipoo and Pookivil.
* The Sackboys and Sackgirls from ''VideoGame/LittleBigPlanet''. They even spend much of their time with their mouths open, possibly with their tongues hanging out like little happy puppies.
* ''VideoGame/{{Insaniquarium}}'' has many. The adorable Starcatchers pparticularly stand out with their innocent, big eyes and their CatSmile.
* The Iggles from ''VideoGame/IgglePop'' are literal fuzzy balls of fluff with wide, innocent eyes.
* The moles featured in ''VideoGame/WiiPlayMotion'' are ungodly cute and round. Too bad you have to whack them with a hammer as they are stealing vegetables from your garden.
* Almost every character from ''VideoGame/TheLegendaryStarfy'' series qualify. Heck, the hero is a cute yellow starfish with a huge smile which makes the most adorable noises.
* The various planctons in ''VideoGame/{{Electroplankton}}'' are designed to be adorable: bright, colourful, simplistic, small and smiling.
* While the titular octopus monster from ''VideoGame/{{Octogeddon}}'' isn't anywhere near this trope, its animal buddies do qualify - a smiling pufferfish with big eyes? A bandana-wearing Kung-Fu starfish? The cutest electric eel you have ever seen? Sold!
* All the squids from ''VideoGame/SquidInk'' qualify, what with having a Cat Smile and many having friendly dispositions to boot.
* ''VideoGame/TalesSeries'':
** ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'' has Corrine, a tiny fox-like Summon Spirit under the ownership of Sheena. He's so cute that the even normally {{Stoic}} Presea can't resist getting close with him.
** ''VideoGame/TalesOfBerseria'' has Pengyons, which are brightly-colored piscine penguins native to the tropics. They're actually farmed as a staple food source in Southgand, which means the party have a good deal of fun ribbing TokenGoodTeammate Eleanor for doing something as barbaric as eating such a cute creature (and finding them delicious, apparently).
** ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss'' has the cheagles. The mere sight of them sends Tear into a [[CutenessProximity stupor]] over the sheer cute of them; she's not alone as all the girls enjoy the TeamPet Mieu just for cuteness value. Luke isn't too fond of them however and finds Mieu irritating; even after he TookALevelInKindness he still calls him annoying to his face.
** ''VideoGame/TalesOfArise'' has owls, which are round, fluffy, and happen to make all sorts of cute noises. One of them, Hootle, who's also FunSize due to being a chick, also acts as the party's TeamPet.
* ''VideoGame/PhantasyStar'' series has the Rappy (at first called "Chirper"), a [[https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/phantasystar/images/1/19/Toyo_chirper.png chubby yellow bird]] that slowly but surely [[https://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/phantasystar/images/0/0c/Rag_rappy.gif evolved]] to become the [[https://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/phantasystar/images/d/d1/Rappyconceptz.png adorable mascot]] we now know of.
* ''VideoGame/BoxxyQuestTheGatheringStorm'':
** In Chapter 6, the Hype Train is staffed entirely by chibi-esque talking frogs and kittens. They speak childishly, and seem to be largely oblivious of the [[ThrillerOnTheExpress murder mystery that's unfolding on their train]].
** Later in the same chapter, we meet the Turnip Tribe, who are utterly ''adorable'' with their derpy little eyes and smiles. The baby turnip/crab hybrid manages to be super cute despite being only a few pixels tall. [[SugarApocalypse Sadly, things don't end too well for them]].
* An orange, crazy, genetically modified marsupial doesn't exactly sound like this trope, but Videogame/CrashBandicoot is very much this and UglyCute at the same time, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1w5kMoYcTSs especially when he dances]]. His {{Moe}} younger sister Coco even more so.
* ''VideoGame/ReachinPichin'' stars Pichin, an adorable bird-flan-peach creature. His evolved forms are equally cute.
* ''VideoGame/RocoKingdom'' [[TheMockbuster follows greatly in the steps of]] ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' in multiple ways, including having a cute electric mouse {{mon}} named Dimo to serve as main character Roco's partner, similar to Pikachu.
* ''VideoGame/PillarsOfEternity'': Itumaak, Sagani's AnimalCompanion is an utterly adorable, bright white arctic fox. Edér is very upset that Itumaak bites him whenever he tries to pet Itumaak.
--> If I'm not meant to pet him, then WHY IS HE SO SOFT?!
