* ''[[Digimon Frontier (Anime)|Digimon Frontier]]'' Lucemon anyone?

* The Amazon Quartet and Sailor Iron Mouse from ''[[Sailor Moon]]''.

* {{spoiler|Kyubey}} of ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]''. When you first see it, it's [[Ridiculously Cute Critter|the most adorable thing in the world]], but the {{spoiler|blank [[Red Eyes Take Warning|red eyes]] and [[Frozen Face|unchanging]] [[Cat Smile]]}} just get creepier and creepier every time you look at it. {{spoiler|[[Starfish Aliens|There is a very good reason for this]].}} This is also an [[Invoked|invocation]] of this trope, as [[Nitroplus|Gen Urobuchi]] specifically asked character designer [[Ume Aoki]] to make it "as cute as possible."

** And there's Charlotte, who's incredibly adorable [[One Winged Angel|until you see]] [[Sand Worm|her true]] [[Monster Clown|form]]...

* The [[Alien Invasion|Puchuus]] from ''[[Excel Saga (Anime)|Excel Saga]]''.

* ''[[Deadman Wonderland]]'' is set in a prison that is also a theme park. The inmates stage [[Blood Sport|shows]] for the visitors. This is mostly promoted by the... er... Promoter, who seems to run the place and is a [[Psychopathic Manchild]] who loves to put cute, evil props everywhere.

* This trope is inherent to many a ''[[Power Rangers]]'' monster, but also some villains. If the [[Five Bad Band]] has a small child, expect her to be [[The Starscream]].

* On ''[[Total Drama Island (Animation)|Total Drama Island]]'', Duncan is afraid of Celine Dion music store standees.

* On ''[[Robot Chicken]]'', in a ''[[Dragonball Z]]'' parody, the characters go to the North Pole. Their enemies? Little Drummer Boy, the Nutcracker, and Composite Frosty/Santa Claus. But the [[Big Bad]] is Mrs. Claus.

* Baby Doll of ''[[Batman ~~the~~ Animated Series (Animation)|Batman the Animated Series]]'' looks like a cute little girl but is a really a psychopathic adult.

* {{spoiler|Lotso Bear}} from ''[[Toy Story|Toy Story 3.]]''

* On ''[[Drawn Together]]'', we have a Strawberry Shortcake [[Expy]], whose people [[A Nazi By Any Other Name|almost completely exterminated Wooldoor's]]. Since nobody but the two characters had ever heard of this, we can assume they have been as successful at denying it as the Turks have been in denying the Armenian genocide. Oh, and she tries to kill [[The Last of His Kind|Wooldoor]].

* The Flores from the ''[[My Little Pony]]'' episode "Fugitive Flowers" look like cute and harmless talking flowers, but are really monstrous invasive weeds who trick [[Granola Girl|Posey]] into protecting them from the creepy-looking Crabnasties who are trying to capture them, then proceed to [[One Winged Angel|transform]] and go on a rampage.

** ''[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' has the parasprites from "Swarm of the Century". While they don't seem to be actively malicious, they're still adorable, multicolored bug/fairy critters who [[Explosive Breeder|breed rapidly]] and [[Big Eater|devour all the food they can find]]. Basucally, they are the unholy spawn of Tribbles and Piranhas.

* Clare of ''[[Titan Maximum]]'', whose [http://titanmaximum.wikia.com/wiki/Clare bio] states "she loves cute things and desires to be the cutest thing in the entire solar system! Oh, and by the way, she’s completely evil."
