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]].
 
Compare [[Grotesque Cute]]. Not to be confused with [[Cute Is Evil]], but it can overlap.
{{examples}}
 
* The Stitchpunks from ''[[9 (Animation)|Nine]]''.
* Besides Plushes, some of the [[WALL-E]] items are kinda creepy.
* 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]]
* [[Higurashi]]. Practically everyone in it is cute, but sooner or later they all end up killing one another.
* ''[[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 (Filmanimation)|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 (Filmfilm)|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.
