Valentine gives a demonstration on how not to take off one's shirt.

As Guybrush Threepwood once said, "The human body is a beautiful thing. Most of the time."

No purely pornographic Eroge examples, please, as per wiki rules.

  • In 2Dark, Scarlett's tower has a painting of her laying practically naked on a couch, in all her obese glory.
  • 6 Days a Sacrifice infamously failed at this — two leading characters who've lost most of their hope for survival proceed to hop into bed with each other, in what Word of God says was supposed to be representative of their descent into near-savagery. This was widely assumed to be badly done Fanservice.
  • In AI: The Somnium Files, Date is able to admire Amame's hips, or rather hip structure... by looking directly at her skeleton.
  • In Asterix and Obelix XXL 2, The Dragon is a Whole Costume Reference to Lara Croft, and also a fat, unkempt, ugly, and stupid man, so the clothes do not flatter him at all. Various areas in the game have large posters of him imitating the sexy poses on the Tomb Raider covers.
  • Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean has Geldoblame's One-Winged Angel form, which is basically a giant torso, with tentacles for legs, malformed wings, one giant deformed arm, and huge man boobs. Eeeuuuugghh.
  • Bayonetta: Joy's introduction and execution. The execution in particular is borderline misogynistic, since it basically boils down to the protagonist engaging in bondage-flavored rape of another woman to her death on a spiked sawhorse in a game that's otherwise goofy and tongue-in-cheek. Major Squick. Given the guy behind the game, it may be intentional.
  • The Binding of Isaac:
    • After activating the item "Mom's bra", Isaac will wear this piece of clothing as a hat and enemies will be frozen on the spot. It also shows Mom in that bra upon activation. The problem? She is the protagonist's abusive mother, and so portrayed, in detail, as an unattractive woman drawn in the best Grossout Show fashion.
    • One of the bosses added in Afterbirth has a very noticeable ass. The catch is that said boss is Ultra Greed, the giant, dried-up corpse of a child with coins in his eye sockets. And since he is designed to be a Marathon Boss thanks to the damage scaling mechanic, you'll be looking at his undead, rotting butt a lot.
  • Blaster Master Zero II: Eve gets noticeably bigger between the events of the first game and this one... but it comes about because of a parasite infection, which severely hampers her looks. If you achieve the Golden Ending, Eve's looks return to normal while retaining her "upgrades".
  • BlazBlue:
    • Taokaka is a curvy, dark-skinned, blonde Cat Girl wearing nothing but a hooded cat-themed jacket, panties with suspenders, and boots. She also has a (lack of) face that looks like the result of a Black Mage, a Black Isz, a Jawa, and a random Cat Girl getting really drunk one night and deciding to do something they'd never speak of again. It's never made clear if that's just what she looks like or if her face is hidden in perpetual shadow, but there's a reason one of the most common ways of drawing her Off-Model is to give her a normal catgirl face. And, to make this totally weird, despite giving her quite possibly the least sexy face possible, they've done some very fanservicey official art with her... except in one instance where her hood is down and she's facing away from the viewer. At this point, it's anyone's guess whether they wanted her to be genuinely sexy, sexy mixed with a bit of The Faceless-fueled Squick for flavor, or something else entirely.
    • There's a bad end in BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger where the resident Ms. Fanservice, Noel, gets a very notable moment. It's the first time in the series that people are treated to really seeing her butt. But it comes at the expense of her being beyond terrified as she gets brutally killed by the Black Beast. Being a Sound-Only Death, there's nothing left to see after, so it's unknown if she was killed quickly, eaten alive, ripped limb-from-limb, or worse. It's a brutal fate for such a kind and sweet girl.
    • Once he became playable in BlazBlue: Continuum Shift, Relius Clover's Astral Heat involves restraining the enemy in more often than not very fetishistic poses as he gets ready to experiment on them... then the doors close, and sometimes the character about to be experimented on lets out a scream. For a few examples, the aforementioned Taokaka is locked in a cage and looking like she has no idea of what's going on, the Hospital Hottie Litchi is tied up to a short post with her long hair down and in a pose that flaunts her boobs, Noel is totally naked and strapped to a huge machine with her naughty bits barely covered by devices, and latecomer Hibiki is strapped to a mix between a clock mechanism and a breaking wheel. Nothing of this is appealing in the least when it's right before Relius does Gods-know-what to any of them behind the scenes.
  • Bloodline Champions:
    • The female versions of the Vanguard has the same-sized paunch as her male counterpart. The left side of her face has a number of moles on it as well.
    • The default Metal Warden wears a tubetop while her male counterpart is a Walking Shirtless Scene, but their curse causes symmetrical shards of metal to out of their body along their spine.
    • The female version of the Glutton is no better clothed or less fat than the male version.
    • The Blood Priest is Stripperiffic in all forms. Fat and unattractive in all forms also.
  • An unlockable story scene in Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter has a scene of Nina clones floating naked in tanks. And if the uncanny valley lolicon isn't enough, the camera pans up to reveal that none of them have heads.
  • Brutal Orchestra:
    • Some attack animations involve the enemy blowing a kiss at the target. None of the enemies in Brutal Orchestra are things anyone would want to receive sexual attention from.
    • The Fla Ming Goa is a blue, eel-like creature inhabiting a seemingly female corpse with flopping breasts and severed extremities.
    • In His Image and In Her Image are naked male and female humans with floating severed heads and creepy Eyeless Faces. If given the chance, the two enemies can fuse together into the Zeitgeist, a giant, pulsating blob of flesh with limbs unnaturally scattered across its body and a bleeding orifice.
  • Bully the second monster of the carnival Freak Show "The Fat, Ugly, Bearded Woman" is a morbidly obese woman with beard with also wearing a dark red bikini.
  • The Caligula Effect: Overdose has a Character Episode with Thorn where you can go to the hot spring with her. Regardless of your protagonist's gender, she joins you in the bath, not even wearing a towel... because she's instead opted to censor her body, covering her entire torso in black, flickering boxes.
  • One of the Spider Queen's attacks from Castlevania 64 is to reel in your character with web and chew on him with her second mouth. The one that's right at crotch-height on her, latches onto him at waist-height, and is complete with thrusting movements. It's not a pretty sight.
  • Nox from Child of Light is a beautiful young teenage girl whose dress leaves her shoulders exposed... and she is a heartless psychopath who takes a sickening pleasure in traumatizing a child by forming a close sisterly bond with them, only to lure them into a trap in an attempt to kill them.
  • Clive Barker's Jericho:
    • Hanne Lichthammer, a once-human-turned-demon, after she was assimilated by the Firstborn. She wears a very, very tight-fitting, S&M-style SS uniform which just barely manages to contain her breasts. This is made considerably less sexy when you consider that she is skinned from her lower jaw down to her torso, has her lips torn open (exposing her teeth in a ghastly permanent grin), the skin on the back of her head has been slashed into little strips, and she is absolutely covered with blood (some of which is pouring out of her eyes, nose and mouth). Oh, and she can vomit acid.
    • The demonic Sumerian priestesses also count, particularly Inanna, who, while sporting gratuitous sideboob, also has a skeletal, flayed face, and is covered in blood.
  • Clive Barker's Undying has Lizbeth walk around in a shredded white dress, complete with Jiggle Physics, which would look sexy if not for the fact that she she's a cursed undead and the sheer amount of blood staining down the front from her previous meal. She's so horrifying that it's not even remotely attractive. This is driven home when you use the scrye on one of her pretty portraits. However, her victory pose over Patrick makes it obvious she was intended to be hot in uncomfortable ways. Clive Barker's stuff tends to be "interesting" like that.
  • Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls:
    • Want to see a clear view of Komaru's underwear? Enjoy the sight of a Game Over... as long as you don't mind her screaming as she is being Eaten Alive.
    • Later on, there is a sequence where Komaru is strapped to a machine and you have to swat hands that are groping her away. Keep in mind that she is essentially being sexually assaulted by a child sexual abuse survivor during this.
  • Dante's Inferno lives off this trope — the majority of nude imagery the player will experience throughout the game are the denizens of the levels of hell, most specifically Lust and Gluttony. A prime example of this trope however occurs in a scene where Dante's wife Beatrice is brutally murdered. During the assault, her dress is torn open, exposing one breast.
  • Dark Cloud is pretty tame in terms of content, but loads of Fan Disservice comes from the Fortune Teller in Queens. When entering the tent to have their fortune told, the player will be asked what they want to know about. The moment an answer is selected from the list of options the old woman literally leaps on top of Toan's head so that her dress covers it entirely. She proceeds to grind her hips and screams "Pumpkin Panty Fortune Telling, here we go!", and what's worse, she does so from the front, which means that her crotch is all over Toan's face. Thankfully, getting your fortune told is not mandatory so don't. do it. ever.
  • Darksiders has Tiamat, a Bat Out of Hell with breasts.
  • Dark Souls has a bit of this. For example, meet Chaos Witch Quelaag. She's a beautiful naked woman with a major case of Godiva Hair. Oh, and everything below her waist is a giant lava spider. As if that wasn't enough, you later meet her sister, who not only has the same condition, but is also blind, crippled, and perpetually near death, as a result of sucking toxic pus out of her servants.
  • The journal in Dawn of Magic has a section which includes black-and-white drawings of every object and being encountered by the player. Two of the latter are the Goblin Matron, a fat woman in two metal cups and a belt; and the Profiteer, a fat, topless male demon with man-boobs.
  • Dead by Daylight:
    • The Hag is partially nude, exposing one breast. She's also horrifically mutilated, partially cannibalized, and extremely emaciated.
    • The Spirit is a shapely young woman, whose default appearance is naked except for a Sarashi covering the necessary parts. She is also a walking can of Body Horror as an undead, mutilated creature riddled with broken glass, dismembered limbs, and bloody wounds that kills anyone she sees out of hate and anger.
    • Charlotte Deshayes, one half of the Twins, wears a raggedy dress that's partially open in the front, which would expose one of her breasts if not for the fact that this happens to be where the giant body cavity that her otherwise Conjoined Twin Victor crawls in and out of is located.
  • Few games have more buxom women in bikinis than Dead Island. Too bad that most of them are zombies whose heads you have to bash in.
  • The Dead or Alive franchise has always allowed you to beat the tar out of beautiful girls until they're unconscious while their undergarments are exposed, but in Dead or Alive 6, those beautiful girls can have globs of blood and spit knocked out of them from the Break Blow attacks. After the attacks, they'll have bruises and dried blood on the corner of their mouths.
  • The Dead Rising franchise:
    • Dead Rising:
      • Jo the Cop on the un-infected side, as she kidnaps and apparently rapes female hostages repeatedly before Frank West arrives.
      • About a million unfortunately-dressed female zombies from the infected.
    • Dead Rising 2:
      • They upped the ante from just scantily-clad zombies to zombie showgirls.
      • Next to that is two survivors; the first is a showgirl in a bikini and headdress, but she's hung-over and starts vomiting, and the other is a tanner who was locked in a tanning bed. She's wearing a revealing swimsuit, but she is sunburnt to a crisp (as she was locked into the bed after the outbreak happened) and can barely walk.
    • Dead Rising 3:
      • One of the psychopaths is morbidly obese, to the point where her stomach ripped through her dress and she has to move around by means of a mobility scooter. She also belches, farts, and weaponizes her vomit throughout most of the battle, after eating whole burgers in one bite. If the developers wanted to make a psychopath based on gluttony, they certainly took it up a notch.
      • There is also a boss battle with a big-busted policewoman who equates sex with guns. She gets off on her minions being shot. And when she herself dies.
  • Death Stranding:
    • Fragile isn't bad looking herself; however, she has the body of an old woman as a result of Higgs forcing her to run though timefall naked (actually wearing a tank top and underwear) except for a mask.
    • The Player Character, Sam, is pretty muscular and played by Norman Reedus, whom many people find attractive. There are multiple dream sequences when we can see him fully naked and walking on the Beach. What takes away from supposed fanservice is that the Beach is a completely desolate, eerie place, with plenty of dead cetaceans that have washed ashore around, and Sam being visibly frightened and confused. The nudity is clearly there to emphasise Sam's vulnerability, not for fanservice.
  • When the trailer for Diablo IV released, many foot fetishists marvelled at the closeup shot of Lilith's feet touching the ground (despite her body not being fully formed yet, and appearing to consist mostly of muscle mass at that moment). However, while Lilith does go barefoot in the game, her feet are never seen in any other cinematics and are only just barely visible during the first phase of the fight with her.
  • Disco Elysium indulges in a lot of Does This Remind You of Anything? and Something Else Also Rises during a scene where the player is rooting around in the decomposing corpse of the murder victim, perhaps to reinforce the erotic circumstances of the victim's death. Out of context, it's fun to think about description like "all the muscles in your body harden. Time to *enter* him. The pain is barely noticeable under the adrenaline rush" — the player character can even ask his heavily Ho Yay-based partner Kim for "a little help, Lieutenant?" — but in context it is Nausea Fuel, especially since, before this scene, the Player Character has probably vomited from the sheer horror of proximity to the corpse at least once.

    A lot of the player's other actions to the corpse also imply Ho Yay, including allowing you to stroke his hair and touch his penis (repeatedly). If you stroke the corpse's hair, then talk to it using your Inland Empire skill, the corpse will thank you, as nobody has treated him that kindly since he was a little boy.
  • Klump from the Donkey Kong Country games is a Kremling mook who is basically a fat crocodile that has man boobs and nipples. No other Kremling has nipples (not even King K. Rool, who is even fatter than Klump), which only proves that Klump was designed to look unflattering as a fat enemy.
  • Dragon Age: Origins:
    • The Broodmother. For anyone who doesn't know, she's a fully naked woman with many boobs... who's disfigured and morbidly obese to the point that she's just a pink blob. And oh yeah, she has tentacles. And she fondles one of her breasts. And she used to be a normal female dwarf, before she was gang-raped, force-fed the flesh of her family members and of poisonous monsters, and transformed into a horrible thing that gives birth to thousands of darkspawn.
    • Another contender would be the human Broodmother who serves as the prime antagonist in Awakening. The Broodmother from the main game shrieks and snarls, and looks very different from the species she once was. Not so with the Mother, who still has a distinctly human face and can speak coherently, implying a sense of self that is just brimming with Fridge Horror. Imagine regaining your sentience only to find yourself looking like that. Also, the shape of her body is reminiscent of a caterpillar. It gets even worse when you go to fight her—she screams in rage, revealing that her mouth actually stretches in five directions across her entire face.
  • Parodied in Duke Nukem Forever. One of the monsters Duke faces is a giant Eldritch Abomination whose only identifiably human anatomy is a giant pair of bare breasts, but Duke makes perfectly clear that he still wants to sleep with it.
  • Elden Ring has the character of Malenia. She's an 8-foot-tall badass whose beauty is famed in-universe. In the second phase of her boss fight she bursts out of her armor and is left almost entirely in the nude. Nice view for those who can spare the time to look while desperately trying not to die, right? She's been decaying from the Scarlet Rot for decades by the time you find her, and both her breasts and crotch have essentially rotted away by this point, so wrong.
  • In The Elder Scrolls series, female Goblins tend to show a lot of skin, including veiny green cleavage. Oblivion's female Goblin shamans provide an excellent example of this.
  • The infamous Bathtub Scare from Eternal Darkness has Alexandra Roivas getting a vision of her naked corpse in a bathtub full of bloody water.
  • EXTRAPOWER: Attack of Darkforce: Yukiko is usually the Stripperific Ms. Fanservice who dresses in Combat Stilettos and a bikini. It's sexy, but less sexy when Kurogane discovers her headless body leaving a blood smear on the wall. Unnerving, but luckily for Yukiko a minor setback with her vampiric healing.
  • Fallout: New Vegas has Beatrix Russell, a cowboy-type with a taste for whips and domination. When you recruit her to work as a dominatrix at the Atomic Wrangler, she dons a Stripperiffic outfit consisting of a Black Bra and (Leather) Panties, a corset, cowboy hat, and chains. Only problem? She's a ghoul, meaning she has large patches of skin and her nose missing. You can sleep with her as well. The screen fades to black out and you don't see anything, but you can hear... sounds...
  • The final battle of F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin involves Becket shooting it out with Keegan interspersed with the disturbing and extremely unerotic images and sounds of Alma raping Becket's body. It doesn't help that half the time, Alma is an emaciated corpse, and for most of the above sequence, the sounds she's making are hideously distorted and almost inhuman.
  • Final Fantasy:
    • Final Fantasy VII:
      • Jenova, in her tank, has a curvaceous woman's body. She also has no head and an eyeball for a nipple. Oh, and her skin is blue. And that isn't even mentioning the giant red something, the lack of arms, the disturbingly invasive test tubes, and the veins. If the player manages to get her Crisis Core version into a model viewer, they will learn that she has an external seven-chambered heart◊. Along with several other external organs that just add to her Bizarre Alien Biology, and there appears to be a hole that the giant red tube/vein/umbilical cord's coming out of when the headless Jenova is seen. Some of those organs may not have always been on the outside... In the Compilation renders of the scene, the player can also spot her resemblance to Sephiroth, which makes even him attain some inherited Squick as a result.
      • In Part 2, Sephiroth is completely shirtless. Bad thing, this is the Sephiroth encased in Mako in the Northern Crater — meaning he's a huge torso lacking his whole lower half. To make it even worse, he appears right after one of the most mind screwy scenes of the whole game. The original intention for Sephiroth's appearance in this scene was that he should have a feminine body to allude to Jenova, but it was changed.
      • The Remake gives us a generous helping of Jiggle Physics... in the form of Don Corneo's belly.
    • Final Fantasy X has Yunalesca, who is covering probably about five to ten percent of her body. When you fight her and defeat her first form, she summons a series of Combat Tentacles as part of her second form. After that, she summons the rest of that part — a giant Medusa head which may terrify you if you don't expect it.
    • Final Fantasy XIII: A l'Cie who fails their Focus is turned into a Cie'th, a monster covered in crystals. Normally, who they used to be is completely lost under the transformation, but two major characters who have turned into Cie'th have managed to retain both their sense of self and most of their form. Both of them have been attractive-looking men whose Cie'th transformations take off their shirts... to reveal their bodies covered in grotesque webs of crystal. note 
    • Final Fantasy XV has the trailer "Omen", which features the handsome protagonist Noctis losing pieces of his clothing in a great battle, until the ending leaves him shirtless, showing off his impressive physique that is currently covered in the blood of the Oracle Lunafreya, the woman he loves, after he had been corrupted by evil forces to kill her, bringing about the end of the world, as he collapses to his knees crying out in agony.
  • Fire Emblem:
  • Five Nights at Freddy's:
  • God of War:
    • Clotho, from God of War II. She's completely nude. The catch: she's an Eldritch Abomination and something between a Hutt and a baby blue whale. Also, she has multiple boobs. And by "multiple" we mean "several dozen dotted all over her grotesque body".
    • Female enemies tend to mix attractive and sensual traits with horrifying ones: Sirens have large busts, but monstrous faces with large mouths and fangs; Gorgons are usually topless, but they have snakes for hair; Empusas are completely naked, but sport blades instead of limbs.
    • Megaera is a tall woman wearing a skimpy, cleavage-baring armor, but has a sickly green skin and her chest is made of porous, rash-like tissue from where her parasytes are spawned.
  • Grand Theft Auto:
    • El Burro is a fat, hairy man dressed in nothing but a vest that is several sizes too small, calls you a "pretty boy" and is blatantly trying to reward you with sex. And, to top it off, is seemingly boasting about his big dick.
    • In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, a mission involves taking blackmail photos of the Congressman with a bikini-clad porn star. All well and good — until the Congressman wanders out in pantyhose and heels, insisting to be called "Martha".
    • Maccer in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is revealed to have had a liaison with a hillbilly woman, giving her an ugly case of "the red bumpies." That, and most of Maccer's masturbation fantasies are nauseating in general.
      "I LOVE YOU MAGGIE!"
    • J.D. O'Toole in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories has never met a sex toy he didn't like, horrifying the game's protagonist.
    • And then there's the infamous depiction of full frontal nudity in The Lost and Damned. Specifically, full frontal male nudity of Thomas Stubbs at a spa, complete with a rather visible and well-endowed penis.
    • Grand Theft Auto V has many examples, usually involving Trevor. A memorable scene that occasionally shows when transitioning to him has him furiously masturbating into his trailer's filthy toilet, before wiping his hand on the wall and leaving.
  • Raven from Guilty Gear is a pretty good-looking guy, especially after he removes the mask he had in his first apparitions... but his weird albino-like looks, the huge spike jammed in his head, and his blatantly sexual reactions to pain kinda kill that.
  • Gwent: The Witcher Card Game: Very common in the monsters factions, where the features of shapely, often naked women are combined with bloody fangs/claws, gore, withered skin, and other unpleasant features. The Gernichora leader skin in particular is the epitome of this, with withered human arms and legs tipped in claws, grey saggy skin, pendulous breasts, a human-like head with blonde hair and no nose, a tadpole-like tail coming from between her legs, and beady blank white eyes. She's covered in warty growths and has leech-like "fruits" hanging from her chest and torso. You can tell she was a sexy woman once... but not anymore!
  • Harvester, gross and disturbing as it is, would naturally turn all potentially titillating moments into really unpleasant stuff.
    • At one point in the game, there's a sex scene between Steve and Stephanie. Aside from Steve's pasty physique, it's a little hard to find it at all hot, mostly because Stephanie's father is watching them through a peephole in the wall.
    • One room in Steve's house is quite the sight. It is full of BDSM equipment, tacky pictures, and blood. Steve's father lies in bed and is heavily bandaged up to cover his wounds, plus he's willing to describe what Steve's mother does to him. And if the protagonist tries to enter at night, he'll catch his mom dressed up in dominatrix gear and putting the whip to good use, before she shoots him in the head.
    • Inside the Lodge, Steve can take part in an Optional Sexual Encounter with a hooker for 200$. Not only is almost nothing shown of the act (just a shoulders-up view of the woman with her face down most of the time), but it's revealed shortly afterwards she has an STD through a Gross-Up Close-Up of her lesion-covered legs, which Steve can die from if he fails to find a vaccine.
    • One ending has Steve — in order to free himself from the VR simulation The Order of the Harvest Moon have trapped him in, sadly becoming the monster himself in the process — despining Stephanie, with the latter wearing only lingerie at the time. Needless to say, it isn't a pretty sight.
  • Haunting Ground has Fiona Belli, a pretty blonde in a tight dress with jiggle physics that put the PS2's processing power through its paces. The problem is, everyone else in the game is trying to kill her for various reasons and one of her tormentors wants to have a kid with her, whether she's willing or not.
  • I=MGCM has some disservice elements:
  • Kane & Lynch: Dog Days features a level with the main characters, two strong, rugged, manly Nineties Anti Heroes, running around bare-ass naked in the rain. Of course, they're both grizzled, middle-aged, and fall somewhat short of the Heroic Build. Also, both of them are covered in freshly-opened gashes.
  • In Kindergarten 2, the overweight Ms. Applegate wears exercise gear in gym class, which features her "scantily-clad", as Nugget describes it, effectively wearing a bra and shorts with an exposed belly. Despite the pixel art, it still does not look good on her.
  • The King of Fighters:
    • In The King of Fighters XI the player's led to think that Magaki's a super classy man... but as he/she gets ready to face him in battle, Magaki's skin turns pink, he has blue energy markings around his body, and his face looks more insectoid than human. Not to mention his fighting stance◊ is really creepy-looking.
    • In XIII, Saiki fights the player's team in the nude. Considering Saiki is a gorgeous man in white, it should be good. Save for the fact that this form of Saiki is an SNK Boss from Hell, that his skin is all red, that several parts of his naked body (face, limbs and crotch) are oozing dark energy... and that he obtained said super-powerful form through a massive Kick the Dog moment (murdering Mukai, who held quite the Undying Loyalty for him, to absorb his powers). Daaaaaammit.
  • The final boss of Koudelka is a demon-possessed doppelganger of a dead woman that emerges from a flower on a giant tree, naked but for the Sephirot tree on her body (with two sephirot covering her breasts and one obscuring her groin, naturally). She'd be a very pretty woman, except for the fact that she is obviously mindless, hostile, and occasionally twists her head around completely or bends her limbs backwards to spider-walk on the walls and ceiling. Then she vomits corrosive acid on you. And then turns into some kind of spider/flower/tree thing with a warped human upper body poking out of the center of mass.
  • Kuukiyomi 3: Consider It More and More!: Played for Laughs. In a certain situation, the player character has to react if the Virtuber Z-Ko (Z.Z. in the English version) is present by adjusting the avatar projection. A technical glitch accidentally reveals her true identity, which is a middle aged man. It's actually a reference to Noracat's accidental identity reveal.
  • In Labyrinth of Refrain: Coven of Dusk, the female (and occasionally male) enemy designs generally follow this trope or its opposite, but for specifics, the true form of King Alice is perhaps a standout. The character ends up having the top of a cute girl as well as being topless but having the lower body of a maggot alongside Black Eyes of Crazy and their tongue hanging out in a deranged manner. The narrative itself describes it as "A hideous chimera of flesh, flies and maggots".
  • In what has got to be the cruelest joke ever played by the producers of a video game, your final reward for completing the Hell Temple of La-Mulana, a Platform Hell level in an already Nintendo Hard game, is a skimpy swimsuit. The Fan Disservice comes when you then see Professor Lemeza, the very male main character, wearing the thing. The game itself tells you, twice, that you don't want it. On the other hand, if you're into guys, Lemeza's at least pretty good-looking. The whole thing leans more toward fanservice in the remake, in which you can get Mulbruk to wear it herself in the end credits, although you could still consider it a bit of this trope in that the swimsuit was made for her by her father.
    DeceasedCrab: Ha! Nothing can make me regret the effort I've put into this. Nothing!
  • Yes, L.A. Noire has full-frontal female nudity. Too bad every instance of it involves women who were brutally beaten and/or strangled to death. And you have to take a close look at them all.
  • Left 4 Dead:
    • The Witch from the first game, who is wearing a tank top and some undies. She also looks like a 50-year-old crack whore with claws and has a scream that will make you jump out of your skin.
    • Left 4 Dead 2:
      • The Spitter, a recurring character dressed in a tight tank top, shorts, and a highly visible pink thong. This is a horribly mutilated zombie that shoots acid from her corroded, torn-open mouth.
      • The Boomer is an extremely bloated zombie covered in boils while wearing a shirt that is way too small for him. This game adds a female version of the Boomer, and while she doesn't have boils, she has rotten teeth and wears a tank top and shorts while being bloated. The female Boomer also has jiggle physics.
  • The Legend of Zelda:
  • Leisure Suit Larry 1: In the Land of the Lounge Lizards: The hooker. She tends to be drawn as unattractively as possible while still being just attractive enough to retain her current line of work.
  • Loadout has Helga, who was put in alongside the two male characters after the initial release. The main difference between Helga and the males? Helga is really fat. And has Jiggle Physics galore. This was most likely the point with her design, given how the developers simply make it worse by giving her a load of Stripperiffic clothes and taunts that only serve to exacerbate the Nausea Fuel.
  • Lobotomy Corporation: The Clouded Monk fully strips down when he breaches containment. However, he's not a very conventionally attractive man, especially when he unhinges his jaw (not unlike a snake) to devour your employees.
  • Played for Laughs in Lollipop Chainsaw. The protagonist, Juliet, wears a cheerleader uniform with a very short miniskirt. You'll get some nice upskirt shots, provided your view isn't obstructed by Nick, her boyfriend who is the severed human head dangling from her belt. He seems to enjoy the view.
  • Love & Pies
    • Amelia is disgusted at the thought of her Love Interest Joe once dating Edwina, the latter who's around Amelia's mother, Freya's age. She imagines them kissing on the beach in their swimwear, but can't get the mental image of Edwina in a two-piece swimsuit out of her head.
    • Sebastian's proposed changes to the Windmill Café posters show a sexualized Amelia lying seductively on top of an apple pie. Amelia and Betty both agree that the design doesn't suit the former, although Joe still likes it.
  • The Lunar games have Bromides, pin-up sort of images, of the heroines hidden around the world for the player to collect. These are usually either cute, character-establishing everyday stuff or Fanservice. Lunar: Eternal Blue has a Bromide of Borgan, an obscenely obese male villain, in the tub, which he tells you to never look at. So of course, you do.
  • Mass Effect 3:
    • Think asari are hot? Want to see one naked? This game grants your wish — in the form of the Banshee◊, the asari husk, complete with uncovered breasts. And then there's their cries, which are exactly what you'd expect something called a Banshee to sound like.
    • There's also shirtless Kaidan, which under most circumstances would be something a particular set of fans would like, but not when he's shirtless because he's lying in a hospital bed with a horribly bruised face because he almost got killed.
  • Metal Gear:
    • Psycho Mantis from Metal Gear Solid. He's dressed in very, very sexual bondage gear, and psychically forces the main female character to seduce Snake. He's also incredibly emaciated, and when his mask is taken off, his face is revealed as horribly mutilated.
      Meryl: [mind controlled, sounding not quite right] Hold me Snake! Make love to me, quickly!
      The Metal Gear Solid artbook contains gorgeously drawn artistic nudes of Sniper Wolf, Solid Snake, and Psycho Mantis. It's worth observing that Mantis is the only one whose genitals are visible, and he appears to be pierced.
    • Metal Gear Solid 2:
      • Olga Gurlukovich, a tomboyish Russian woman with an appropriate accent. Pretty face, nice body, doesn't shave her underarms...
      • The "naked Raiden" scene. Not because of the nudity, so much as Raiden being choke-tortured and being forced to sneak through an area with no weapons, no hanging mode, and no choking ability, and dealing with one of the biggest Mind Screws in the game, which includes the Colonel and Rose AI's becoming corrupted.
    • In Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater:
      • The boss unzips her Spy Catsuit, showing plenty of skin, in order to show Snake a large, ugly scar.
      • Any enjoyment that could be had from Big Boss shirtless and bound is destroyed by the brutal torture to which he's being subjected. If that wasn't bad enough, he even, quite literally, pisses himself because of a powerful electrical current and loses muscle control during the scene, and the dark stain remains for the whole sequence. And then The Boss takes out her knife and heads straight for his eyes...
      • Handled quite subtly when the sexy, beautiful EVA is walking around in her black underwear... revealing her scarred back from being physically and sexually abused by Volgin. Probably the only time Snake actually reaches out to her instead of the other way around is when he runs two fingers along an ugly one on the small of her back, looking very guilty about what she's having to go through.
    • Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots:
      • Some partly-Twincestuous Ho Yay kisses, dialogue, and touching, which would have been much hotter had both characters looked roughly thirty years younger, weren't currently dying, and weren't mortal enemies actively trying to kill each other.
      • The Beauty and the Beast Unit consists of extremely beautiful women who wear heavily-armed Power Armor. When removed from said armor, they basically rub themselves all over Snake in the most sexual possible way. However, they are all dangerously insane, suffering from intense PTSD caused by the horrors of war they witnessed and endured. Snake is injured by their touches, and responds in confused horror to their advances, as if he was the victim of a rape. Most obviously, there's also the fact that Snake looks about seventy-five years old. It could have been even worse. Originally, Kojima had planned on having them completely nude under their armor. This would have undoubtedly made the Fan Disservice even more disturbing than it already is, but the idea was scrapped due to them being unable to find a way to pull it off without heavy censorship and/or raising the game's rating. Instead, they settled for the skin-tight outfits and Male Gaze camera angles, even when they clearly shouldn't be used.
      • The "sexy photoshoot" Easter Egg. Many male gamers seem to see it as regular Fanservice, but some people think it's just plain creepy (probably intentionally, this being MGS). Crying Wolf's poses include her hugging herself in a way that could be alluring if she wasn't doing it a traumatized, hurt way.
      • Naomi tells Snake that she has to "examine his body" — "Undress." This is accompanied by a slow pan up Snake's legs, stopping at his crotch, implying a rather physical reaction, although it's obvious from Snake's reaction that he has misgivings about the situation due to his physical state in that game and what she actually wants to look at his body for. When we finally do get to see Snake undressed, it's made far less appealing than the prospect sounds due to the fact that he's extremely physically aged and due to the fact that the camera mostly concentrates on Naomi bursting into tears when looking at him.
    • Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain:
      • Quiet, a bikini-clad female sniper, wears what she does because her lungs were burned to the point of being unusable, so her skin was replaced with parasites that breathe for her. At one point she gets tortured with electric rods. In general, she's a creepy, mysterious woman who never speaks, violently refuses to wear normal clothes, only stays at Mother Base because she wants to, and is clearly trying to Honey Trap Big Boss... or is she?

        You can watch Quiet in her cage at Mother Base, and she has a number of sexy actions. And you can't watch any of them without also seeing the bars, because you're watching a woman in a cage, you perv. Even if you're into BDSM or pet play or anything like that, you know she's only staying there by choice, not because she's actually surrendered any control. There's also a moment where she takes a shower, and just convulses a little as she absorbs water.
      • Both male and female Skulls wear very tight and skimpy clothing. They are also completely bald, walk like zombies, and have corpse-like skin. The females are introduced by a moving pan across their bouncing breasts as they fade into view, before panning up to one's face. Her blank, grey face, lips the color of a tar pit, cold, lifeless eye, some sort of Terminator-like device with a glowing red light over the other eye, and E2 stamped on her forehead. She looks kind of like a Borg cosplayer.
      • When you find Paz in Mother Base, she's wearing nothing but her underwear. She also acts very childlike and at one point pulls open a stitched-up wound in her abdomen, complete with squishing sounds.
    • In the "Blade Wolf" DLC of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Mistral sits in a chair made of arms, supporting her and touching her body in sexual way, much like a cybernetic dominatrix. There's lots of fanservicey camera angles, and it would probably be sexy if a) she wasn't a horrible person, and b) the arms belonged to humans, instead of those creepy Dwarf Gekko robots. Who still respond with apparent sexual pleasure. Then again, maybe you're into sexually aroused robot chairs.
  • Mortal Kombat:
    • Whenever Mileena removes her veil, she goes straight from sexy Dark Action Girl to piranha lady of your darkest nightmares. Mortal Kombat X changes up Mileena's design into a more Cute Monster Girl-like one, giving her more human-shaped lips simply bordered by her infamous Tarkatan teeth. Whether this makes it better or worse is up to the player.
    • Mortal Kombat X also introduces D'Vorah, with her compound eyes, grotesque insectoid limbs, vertical slit in her belly that opens up and releases a swarm of bugs, and horned shoulders making her chillingly creepy and stand out in stark contrast to the other female characters in the series, despite her curvaceous silhouette. It gets worse in Chapter 6 of Story Mode, where D'Vorah is seen kissing Mileena. And it turns out this is how she can spread her bugs inside a victim, to eat them from the inside out. Cassie's reaction at that mirrors that of many players:
      Cassie Cage: I know I'll never eat again.
    • Mortal Kombat 9 is easily is the king of this trope for the franchise. It has the best graphics for how revealing the women dress, but there are also potential moments like Jade's breasts shaking because her arms just got violently ripped off by Kintaro, or Sonya's chest flopping around and most of her butt exposed after she's torn in half by Mileena. Indeed, it's hard to find any of the Kombatants sexy when they're covered in blood. But special mention should go to the aforementioned Mileena, who actually attempts to put on a sexy winning pose after pulling off a Fatality.
    • It's both better and worse in Mortal Kombat X. In general, the outfits for the women aren't as skimpy, but they look much more lifelike with the improvements in graphics. Some costumes for Cassie and Kitana have their breasts rendered, so you can often see a good amount of them, even after they've been cut in half down the middle. A fatality like Jason's Kill For Mother will cut right through the breasts of many female characters, especially well-endowed ones like Jacqui, who sports a lot of cleavage in her "Boot Camp" costume.
  • The end of the first chapter of Ninja Pizza Girl gives us a lovingly detailed panel of a fat customer who opens the door in his underwear. Judging from Gemma's reaction, she feels pretty darn disserviced as well.
  • Octopath Traveler II:
    • Mother's battle sprite shows that she has an enormous pair of breasts that are almost as big as her head. However, she's also a very fat and ugly woman who makes unnerving facial expressions when she attacks, and she also happens to be Throné's extremely abusive parental figure.
    • Claude's battle sprite makes it apparent that he's an attractive individual who leaves his shirt open, exposing his toned chest. He's also a sick psychopath and an implied rapist.
  • Odin Sphere has Odette, the Queen of the Underworld. Her lovely face and her impressive breasts are pretty much the only areas of flesh that haven't rotted away to bare bone. And she lifts up her skirt several times... to reveal that her crotch is a giant spider. Not a turn-on.
  • Outlast has many, many instances of this, and every one is horrible. For example:
    • Early in the game you come across a man having sex. With a headless corpse.
    • You meet two stark-naked men who calmly describe how they are going to kill you and eat your organs; later they stalk you through the asylum and, if they catch you, will gruesomely stab you through the chest. Again, while completely naked.
    • You encounter an emaciated, disfigured "doctor" who is wearing nothing but an apron. At one point he bends over a sink to wash his hands, giving you an unpleasantly full view of his bare ass.
    • The tradition is continued in the Whistleblower DLC, notably in two occasions: once when you come across a patient loudly masturbating over a pile of corpses, and once when you are knocked unconscious and stripped naked. This wouldn't be so bad, except for the fact that you are then strapped to a table, molested by a blood-covered Serial Killer with some serious Facial Horror, and then come within inches of having your penis mutilated with a buzzsaw.
  • Overlord II has this. Unfortunately. The priestesses of the Mother Goddess? They're just hugely fat. Try looking at the mermaids or fairies, who are not just fat, but ancient, withered, liver-spot-ridden old hags.
  • Pandora's Tower: Elena's Vapor Wear dress often slips down on one side, more than far enough to reveal a breast. Or it would, if the reason for it wasn't that side of her body becoming severely mutated, looking like it's rotting in places and oozing purple gunk everywhere. Something to note is that the dress isn't magical and remains displaced as the curse is suppressed, though she immediately falls into Aeron's arms, preventing the audience from seeing anything. By the time she wakes up, he's fixed it for her.
  • In Parasite Eve, the eponymous villain transforms in increasingly Squicky ways, losing more and more of her humanity (not to say dress) every time. By the end, she's completely naked, with several dozen breasts and a mass of pulsating flesh in which the Ultimate Being is gestating. What makes this worse is that, to a point, she's actually doesn't look all that bad. Initially, she looks monstrous but quite humanoid and feminine, then she advances to the pregnancy bit, which at one brief moment (in a cutscene where she looks extremely feminine and maternal) has a weird "pregnancy brings out your inner beauty" kind of appeal. However, right after this brief interlude, the game segues back to normal and the disservice hits you in the face like a brick.
  • Persona:
    • Persona 4 is a game drenched in confused teenage sexuality. The results are as to be expected.
      • Most notably, Shadow Rise. It's already disturbing to watch an underaged girl with creepy gold eyes in an equally golden bikini threaten to strip in front of her television audience, as the real Rise insists this isn't her while in tears, but the horror hits critical mass during the boss fight itself, where she transforms into a rainbow-colored giant with a censor mosaic for a face and attacks by humping a stripper pole with now-infamous squishing noises. There's also a good deal of Fridge Horror with the original Rise not only unwilling to do this, due to her backstory note , but mentioning her shadow's bust is bigger than hers.

        Then in Persona 4: The Animation, in the middle of her verbal beatdown to Rise, the Shadow produces six clones of herself: one in sports clothes, another in kimono, one as a cheerleader, etc. Seeing these "six sides" would be hot... if not for the six siding with Shadow Rise and ganging up on the crying real one, verbally bullying the emotionally exhausted girl until she gives in and screams that neither is her.
      • Shadow Chie. She turns Chie's feelings of inadequacy compared to her best friend Yukiko into some kind of cross between a dominatrix and an executioner, piggybacking on a tower of schoolgirls that she drives with a whip.
      • Shadow Yukiko, while not as bad as some of the other examples, isn't free of this either. A tall and pretty girl in a pink Pimped-Out Dress? A-okay. A tall and pretty girl in a pink Pimped-Out Dress who moans in the most sexual way possible and sounds like she's about to get while she turns into a giant bird, riding a huge chandelier? Brain bleach time.
      • Shadow Kanji. Usually the dude's fine, probably ripped, if a lil' scary in the form of a short temper. Then you see his Shadow as a naked, towel-wearing him who is flamingly gay and enjoys naked men, all while the original keeps denying him with his already short temper... Did he just turn into a gigantic muscular body whose neck is adorned with tons of flowers and has himself naked from head to crotch as its head!? Eeeeeww!
      • Kanji crossdressing as Marilyn Monroe. Let's just say he doesn't pull it off at all.
      • The Fat Bitch Hanako enters a beauty pageant, wearing the skimpiest bikini ever. Brain Bleach, please.
    • Persona 5:
      • One of the villains, Suguru Kamoshida, is a decently built high school phys-ed coach. His Shadow self has the same build, except he's wearing naught but shoes, a crown, a royal cape, and a pink speedo. However, the physical/sexual abuse he inflicts on his students makes him far from attractive. His hideous demon form, Asmodeus, loses all of that build and none of the attire.
      • Kamoshida's mental projection of a female party member, Ann, has her in nothing but a bikini and plastic princess crown. This might sound appealing on paper, but it's really not: Kamoshida only sees Ann as a submissive and shallow sex object and frequently lusts over her in real life, which Ann does not reciprocate. Ann is a minor whereas Kamoshida is presumably middle-aged. The real Ann eventually cuts the mental image in half upon awakening her Persona, causing it to melt into a misshapen pile of black goo.
      • The scene prior to the Phantom Thieves' intervention on the real Ann's behalf has them come across a harem of Kamoshida's volleyball students topless and writhing on the ground. Ryuji's revulsion on the subject matches the player's.
      • In Royal, Kamoshida summons a cognitive copy of Shiho in a playboy bunny outfit during his boss fight. This is meant to be seen as repulsive even in-universe, given this is his mental image of the student he raped.
      • Another villain, Samael, is a muscular shirtless man whose muscles keep growing more and more grotesquely huge as your battle with him continues.
    • Persona 5 Strikers: Alice Hiiragi is Monarch of the Shibuya Jail, a fashion designer with an Alice in Wonderland motif who uses the Metaverse to steal men's desires and turn them into Loony Fans of hers. Her Shadow dresses in a Wonderland-inspired Burlesque outfit, but it loses some of the appeal when she turns into Mad Rabbit Alice, a monstrous Playboy bunny wearing a fake tail with fangs and the words "Eat Me" written on it, whose face looks like stitched-on fabric in the shape of a Slasher Smile.
  • Pokémon:
    • Nidoqueen from Pokémon Red and Blue is a reptilian Pokémon that resembles a vaguely feminine dinosaur with a rhino-like build. Its animations in the Pokémon Stadium have it jiggling when released and when using certain attacks such as Body Slam.
    • Slaking from Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire is an obese, lazy sloth/gorilla hybrid that tends to come out in a Ready for Lovemaking pose, with its Gen 4 sprite in particular wearing a suggestive grin on its face and showing off a Pec Flex.
    • Pokémon Sun and Moon:
      • Pheromosa, one of the Ultra Beasts. She looks like a Cute Monster Girl, possibly the seductive and coy type, and the PokéDex does say that she's less destructive than the other Ultra Beasts... Then you realize, this Mon is part cockroach. Eww...
      • Salazzle is an intentionally sexualized Pokémon that has quite a lot of rapey overtones in it (having a reverse harem of males that it brainwashed with its pheremones).
  • Produce's ending features a naked woman. The problem is that she is at the same time getting her flesh ripped open by tentacles and absorbed by an Eldritch Abomination.
  • In Quest for Glory IV there is a character known as Rusalka, who is a naked woman with Godiva Hair who invites you to swim with her. Of course, if you do she drags you under the water and drowns you. If you're a paladin, you're allowed to save her. The final step is kissing her. By the time you get to that step she has become a rotting corpse, who's in the exact same pose.
  • Resident Evil:
    • Resident Evil 2 In both the remake and original, the female zombie model has a torn tank top which leaves the stomach bare, but their flesh is rotting since, well... they're dead.
    • Resident Evil – Code: Veronica started this trend in the series with Alexia Ashford, who starts off as a fairly attractive blonde in a purple dress. Then she catches on fire and all her clothes fall off, just in time for her to morph into a Stripperific bug monster with Barbie Doll Anatomy. You might still find her attractive, at least until she completely goes One-Winged Angel.
    • Resident Evil 5 has Jill Valentine walking around in a black and purple spy suit. In a battle with her, she unzips the suit to reveal a strange device above her cleavage. Pulling it off leaves the flesh mangled and scarred... and rather than zip the suit back up, she leaves it all exposed for the rest of the game.
  • Rule of Rose:
    • The game itself involves scenes of children binding up, beating, doing water torture, and sucking on the fingertips of the heroine, an adult woman. The effect is every inch disturbing.
    • The whole point of the trailer was to disturb the viewer with its implied sexuality. There is no actual sex or anything remotely graphical in the game itself, but it still manages to allude to early development of sexual feelings, and the problems and awkwardness that result from it.
    • Diana is particular is the master of this. The source of a good half of the above material, her obvious attractiveness, mixture of vulnerability and sadism, charisma, and mastery of her own sexuality have made her extremely popular with both male and female fans... which is somewhat spoiled by the fact that she's almost certainly a sexual abuse victim and about fourteen years old. Her abusive relationship with her Dragon Meg doesn't help.
  • Saints Row allows the Boss to streak if naked. In-universe, regardless of their appearance, most of the residents do not like the sight.
  • In Shadows of the Damned, whenever Paula shows up, she's usually half-naked. Unfortunately, she also spends most of the game getting brutally killed and resurrected by the Big Bad.
  • Shadow Warrior (2013) features lots and lots of naked women. Unfortunately, they've all been killed and skinned, along with everyone else unfortunate enough to encounter the demons who isn't named Lo Wang, Orochi Zilla, or the Kyokagami Twins.
  • Satan as depicted in most Shin Megami Tensei games. A male demon with six female breasts.
  • In Silent Hill, anything remotely sexy will be anything but:
    • Silent Hill 2:
      • The Mannequins, representative of the protagonist's severe issues with women and sex. The Mannequin's body is sexually suggestive, but is arranged in a completely alien way, having two pairs of long, feminine legs and no arms or head, nor anywhere for arms or a head to go.
      • The Bubble Head Nurses carry the same symbolism as the Mannequins; they're dressed in Naughty Nurse Outfits, but their disfigured faces and jerky movements remove anything remotely sexy about them. The nurses were in fact so successful at this trope that they have become almost as emblematic of the series as its Dark World. They make reappearances in the fifth game and the movie, improved graphics and incredible makeup and acting respectively increasing the disturbing factor by at least a magnitude, while an altered version in the third game replaces the deformed head with blood-splattered mouths (which also happen to scream horribly when hit).
      • Pyramid-Head has a hot body and wears nothing but a long apron, and then, y'know, the pyramid torture helmet and a gallon or so of blood. And has a tongue that's black and about a foot long. If it has legs, he rapes it. So any semblance of sexiness that his body had is lost when you first see him fucking a screaming mannequin. But, then again, this is Silent Hill we're talking about.
    • The revealing dress that Eileen wears, which exposes the numerous injuries she suffered when Walter almost beat her to death.
    • The vampish Maria splayed out on a bed, dead and covered in blood.
  • A recurring theme in Skullgirls. Woe to the poor sap who buys this game expecting it to be Super Fap Fighter II.
    • Starting with main character Filia, a buxom girl in a school uniform... with a fierce sentient hair parasite (as in her hair is the parasite) with More Teeth than the Osmond Family.
    • Eldritch Abomination Double, who happens to have just as many panty shots and just as much Jiggle Physics as the rest of the all-female cast.
    • Resident Cat Girl Ms. Fortune is playful, has a cute Stripperiffic outfit, and is all-around likable... until she fights using her internal organs that she voluntarily rips out of herself as well as letting her head fall off and having her body fight headless. Oh, and she also uses her blood to propel herself across the screen.
    • Painwheel seems to be the logical conclusion. She wears a revealing Qipao and would likely be a very cute Anime Chinese Girl in any other game. But this is Skullgirls, so literally every other feature about her screams Nightmare Fuel. She's a "walking" (for lack of a better word) experiment who has a giant blade attached to her spine which is ripped out of her body, spikes that were forced inside of her which she shoots out at the opponent in a very gory fashion, and on top of all that her overall appearance is akin to that of a zombie with a mask, covered in scars, growling at the things she doesn't want to kill and howling with rage at the things she does.
      A Nico Douga comment: [Painwheel does her high hard kick] The attack motion is so painful, I can't concentrate on the panties.
    • Squigly is a very cute opera singer with really, really big hips... but you also have to take into account the fact that she's a zombie and only walking around of her own volition due to the bone-snake thing that's growing through her head. Also, her mouth is sewn shut, and her left eye always covered by her hair? There's no eye beneath, only an empty socket.
    • Eliza is a diva that walks around in very little clothing and would definitely be one of the hottest women in the game... were it not for the fact that her entire fighting style centers around attacking with her shapeshifting blood and ripping what is essentially her skeleton out of her body to plow through enemies. And that's not even mentioning the Gorn that comes from her hitstun animations, stuff which wouldn't look too out of place in a Darkstalkers game... Of particular note is the ending of her story mode. One piece of artwork shows her on a throne with Ms Fortune in a slave bikini and Filia in what can only be described as latex mummy bondage both sitting at her feet. Any kinkiness this scene might have is undercut by the frankly absurd amount of puppy punting Eliza committed over the course of her story, and the fact that she came out on top and is planning world domination. Oh, and the aforementioned latex mummy bondage is made out of blood.
    • An example that doesn't involve an entire character is Valentine's Infinite Prevention animation (pictured above). She attempts to tear apart her already revealing Naughty Nurse Outfit... only to burst into a pile of gore and bones that fall to the floor, where Valentine then reforms and comes out of her body bag.
  • Murray, dressed as a Geisha, doing a "sexy" dance routine to distract the guards in Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time. Rioichi Cooper is thoroughly perplexed, since the bad guys find this sexy — although being drunk may have something to do with that. Even worse is the woman he is impersonating, an obese rhinoceros, would have been even less appealing. Later in the game, this concept is revisited, and though Murray tries to get in on the act, he is overruled and it is played as straight fanservice when it's Carmelita's turn to be the sexy distraction. It's as if the developers were apologizing to the female-inclined players for the aforementioned scene with Murray.
  • SMITE: Neith is a curvaceous and bubbly young woman who wears an extremely skimpy outfit accentuating her beauty. So, who gets to wear a replica with the "Neith's Biggest Fan" skin? Zhong Kui, who's obese, hairy and considered to be so repulsive the Chinese use his face to drive away evil spirits.
  • Spooky's Jump Scare Mansion has Specimen 13, who appears as an attractive woman wearing only a sheet around her waist. Like everything else in the house, though, she will try to kill you, this time using similar mechanics to the water monster in Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Her death screen also shows that she has a pretty face, but a second later it distorts horrifically. Like the rest of the Specimens, she too has a horrible backstory: The logs in her area reveal that she likes to eat whales from the inside, but she doesn't mind luring humans out into the water to drown them. She's a siren, after all.
  • Street Fighter:
  • The Suffering: Luther "The Creeper" Stickwell and his Combat Tentacles made of hookers' bodies. Yeah, you might find those scantily-clad prostitutes vaguely alluring, but there's no escaping the fact that all three of them are conjoined to the torso of a bloated, giggling, doll-eyed monstrosity in a dirty raincoat. And all three of those girls have daggers for tongues. Oh, and just in case you hadn't lost sight of the sheer horror of the situation, The Creeper seems to have a thing for you, and gives you a phone call in a high-pitched effeminate voice just to let you know. Even his defeat is not that satisfactory as you see him being stabbed by his own hookers, like he's finally the one to be raped, and he perversely enjoys it.
  • In Super Metroid you can see a clear animation of Samus in a sports bra and her panties before the 100% Completion ending. When she's killed, her suit disintegrates. So not only is a beautiful blonde with big boobs being left to die to the hostile environment or to be ripped to shreds by her enemies, but she's only in her underwear when it happens. Not only that, her boobs have noticeable bounce when she's killed.
  • Rinnosuke is one of the fewer than a handful of males in the entire Touhou verse, and some smart-aleck decided that he deserved a truly epic ability. A giant duck head and manpits. Ugh.
  • Tomb Raider III finally adds the infamous nude cheatcode, if you happened to own a Game Genie-esque peripheral called Video Game Xplorer and inputted an absurdly long code. Problem is, it's not sexy at all, it just looks like shit. It looks like Lara's default model with the costume peached over and a pair of nipple dots tacked onto the polygons (and it makes her blonde, because of course it does).
  • Tormented Souls: We see protagonist Caroline (a young, attractive woman) topless in the first few minutes of the game. There are two problems. First: she's in a filthy bathtub with a tube stuck down her throat. Second: her body model is a bit plasticky, with visible joins at the shoulders. Then she finds out that one of her eyes was surgically removed and you even get a Gross-Up Close-Up of the raw red cavity!
  • You do get to see Cybil's bare breasts in Trauma Center, but only by the time you're slicing her body open to remove the Paraskevi that's attacking her.
  • Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines:
    • The Nosferatu, hideously mutated vampires with a predilection towards overly tight S&M style gear. The ugliest, most horrifying representations of the undead show the most skin. It's like a paradox for your libido, except instead of you being confused you're just horrified beyond belief.
    • The female Malkavian PC. Hot goth chick in stripper outfit? Fanservice. Hot giggling goth chick in stripper outfit bashing people through walls with a sledgehammer while on fire? Terrifying.
    • Jezebel Locke: Gorgeous redhead with a sultry contralto voice, talking seductively to you about the holiness of hastening the end of the world through spreading disease and decay.
    • Ming Xiao spends most of the game as a beautiful, elegant Dragon Lady. However in the penultimate battle you're likely to have against her, she transforms into a hideous, slug-like warform, complete with a goo trail and gelatinous sound effects when she moves. Said warform even has certain... physics to make it just that much more unappealing.
  • Waxworks (1992): At one point in the Graveyard level, you find a relatively good-looking woman with impressive cleavage. Unfortunately, she's dead, there's a huge open hole in her chest, and you can take her heart from it to use it for a healing spell.
  • WET features a dark-haired and sultry Tattooed Crook Dark Action Girl protagonist who gets a scene where she's wearing nothing but a tank top and panties. Unfortunately for her and the audience, the context of this scene is she has been captured and is being beaten and electrocuted by a bad man.
  • Geralt of Rivia from The Witcher is quite a dashing Silver Fox with a toned upper body. However, you can tell when he takes his shirt off that his profession as a monster slayer has taken a heavy toll, as his torso and arms are covered in scars from where he has been savagely slashed and bitten.
  • Bloody Mary's true form from The Wolf Among Us. Bloody Mary appears as an attractive, Cute and Psycho woman, who's very visually appealing. However, it turns out that her attractive form is used as a guise to blend in among the humans. Her true form looks like a decaying zombie with blood dripping out of her eyes, hissing like a demon, with mirror shards sticking out of her back. Not helped by her partially torn tank top.
  • Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus has a moment of Anya taking out a Panzerhund (a giant Nazi robot dog that can breathe fire) with Guns Akimbo. She happens to be shirtless when doing so. She also happens to be heavily pregnant, screaming, and soaked in blood. Incredibly cool, certainly, but very far from sexy.
  • World of Warcraft:
    • The way Sylvanas Windrunner dresses is kind of disturbing when you think about it. While she's got the classic appealing elven form, she is undead, her skin blue from discoloration caused by decomposition and necromantic energies.
    • Princess Theradas wears a bikini... but has three tusked faces, four arms, and is almost spherical.
    • Her mother Therazane is just about spherical herself, to the point that her arms just stick out to the sides and her legs are basically stubs. Her breasts have only her hair covering them, but they're made of cracked rock. And that's before you get to her mouthful of dagger-sharp purple crystals...
  • Wanna see Charlie Nash completely shirtless in X-Men vs. Street Fighter? Yes! Wanna see him completely shirtless while Strapped to an Operating Table and about to be subjected to Cold-Blooded Torture so that he can be Reforged into a Minion? NO.
  • One gameplay mechanic in Yandere Simulator is doing favors for Info-chan so that she'll provide you with information and supplies. There are multiple ways of doing this, but one of the most infamous is taking upskirt photos of students around school and sending them to her so that she can sell it or use it as blackmail. Thing is, it's treated in-universe as something awful, to the point where you can damage your reputation or even get a Game Over if you're caught. Word of God has confirmed that the intent wasn't Fanservice, but to make the player uncomfortable with their actions the same way as murdering or bullying characters in-game. However, the resulting Squick worked too well, to the point where other methods of paying Info-chan were added.
  • You Are Empty starts you off fighting nurses. Sexy nurses with long legs, miniskirts, and cleavage. Never you mind their slightly damaged faces◊...
  • Zanki Zero: The final boss. Middle-aged buff man in the buff? Nice. Middle-aged main villain in the buff, covered in goo and thick tubes? Not nice at all.
