Let's face it. We all love [[Rule of Cute|Cute]] things. Some like Cute for [[Nostalgia Filter|Nosta]][[Sonic the Hedgehog (Franchise)|lgia]]. Some like cute for... [[Freud Was Right|Perverted]] reasons. There are even people who think [[Ugly Cute|ugly]] things are [[What Measure Is a Non Cute|cute!]] But sometimes [[Rule of Cute|Cute]] overlaps with [[Rule of Scary|Terror]]. [[Bonus Points]] if it's something from an animated work. Can overlap with [[Killer Rabbit]].▼

There are even people who think [[Ugly Cute|ugly]] things are [[What Measure Is a Non -Cute?|cute!]] But sometimes [[Rule of Cute|Cute]] overlaps with [[Rule of Scary|Terror]]. [[Bonus Points]] if it's something from an animated work. Can overlap with [[Killer Rabbit]].
 
Compare [[Grotesque Cute]]. Not to be confused with [[Cute Is Evil]], but it can overlap.

* The Stitchpunks from ''[[Nine (Animation)|Nine]]''.▼
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Besides Plushes, some of the [[WALL-E]] items are kinda creepy.▼
* [[Higurashi]]. Practically everyone in it is cute, but sooner or later they all end up killing one another. ▼
* This is what the people in charge of Heloise's personallity in [[Jimmy Two Shoes]] seem to want to protraied as. [[Rule of Funny|It]] [[Crowning Moment of Funny|doesn't]] [[For the Lulz|work]]▼
* ''[[Elfen Lied (Manga)|Elfen Lied]]''. There was a scene where a little girl was in a house, and two firefighters came to get her, but she kills them both on the spot. ▼

* Toothless from the ''[[How to Train Your Dragon (Film)|How to Train Your Dragon]]'' movie can switch from Cute to Fierce by changing his eyes.▼
* [[Cats Are Mean|Kamineko]] from ''[[Azumanga Daioh (Manga)|Azumanga Daioh]]''. Sure, he looks cute, but he has a grin that resembles a bear trap and a bite to match. At Times [[Leitmotif|they'll even play what sounds like the theme]] [[Jaws (Film)|from Jaws]] when he appears! ▼
* Not even [[Yu-Gi-Oh]] is safe. Behold (Cue Drum Roll)... Kureboh!▼
* The Cybermat from [[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]. It's a little silver thing that scoots around the floor. And then you see the razor-sharp teeth.▼
* [[Whateley Universe (Literature)|Whateley Universe]] example: Josie Gilman's cute little black kittycat. It loves to be hugged, it loves to be fed, it... '''oh my god it's an [[Eldritch Abomination]] with a huge gaping maw!!!'''▼
** The cuddly stuffed cabbit Generator made for Tennyo should count too. Especially when the claws and fangs pop out.▼
* Some species of Heartless and Unversed from [[Kingdom Hearts]] fall into this trope. All are [[Eldritch Abominations]]; some happen to be adorable.▼
* Hazuki from ''[[Tsukuyomi Moon Phase (Anime)|Moon Phase]]''. A cute little girl right? But when the moon comes out and she goes into Luna mode... bad things happen.▼
* ''[[Pokethulhu]]'' and ''[[Mortasheen]]'' display two very different ways to apply this to the [[Mons]] genre. The former is full of cute, adorable creatures that love to eat souls, while the latter is full of frightening, hideous monsters that become friendly and loyal when tamed.▼
* [[Kirby]], at least according to ''[[Kirby of the Stars]]''. Also, Gooey from the games, who is a piece of [[Eldritch Abomination|Dark Matter]] who broke off, turned good, and became Kirby's friend.▼
* {{spoiler|Kyuubey}} from [[Madoka Magica]]. Given that he's actually a [[Starfish Alien]] with [[Blue and Orange Morality]], and that at one point he {{spoiler|''eats his own corpse''}}, yeah, he qualifies.

* [https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-999 SCP-999] from the ''[[SCP Foundation]]'' is arguably the friendliest SCP, it's a cute, happy, ball of yellow goo who loves giving people hugs. Only the 05 Council and their most trusted underlings know that SCP-999 is, in fact, the offspring of [[Big Bad|the Scarlet King]], making it a baby [[Eldritch Abomination]], and possibly the strongest weapon the Foundation would have against its father's apocalyptic goals.
** [https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-053 SCP-053] is believed to be another offspring of the Scarlet King. While far more dangerous than SCP-999, she has the appearance, personality (and unfortunately, naivety) of a small child.
