Cute Monster Girl: Difference between revisions

(→‎Video Games: adding example.)
Line 213:
** ''The Fiendish Codex: Hordes of the Abyss'' introduces Obyriths, outrageously bizarre demons (as opposed to the more humanoid Tanar'ri) whose forms exude such a primal ''[[Eldritch Abomination|wrongness]]'' that looking at them can do permanent damage to your mind. Pale Night (their queen, more or less) has a "soft, feminine form," though it would be hard to describe her as cute, but then you find out that that's just the veil surrounding her, which formed because the plane of ultimate, horrible madness that spawned her refuses to accept that she is real. If looking at her true form doesn't simply kill a victim, he won't remember what he saw; and if it ''does'' kill the victim, and magic is used to raise him from the dead or communicate with his soul, he ''still'' won't be able to describe what he saw.
** In ''[[Planescape]]'', female tieflings and aasimar often fit; PC versions of both have Charisma bonus to show it.
** Forgotten Realms heroine [https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Alias Alias]. When the bardic hero Finder Wyvernspur wanted a daughter who could carry on his legacy, he was duped into allying himself with an evil organization who magically created one. They had meant to mold Alias into a brutal assassin, but [[I Am Not a Gun| instead she became a heroic sellsword]].
* Used to its fullest in the ''[[Talislanta]]'' game-setting with the [[Bizarre Sexual Dimorphism|Batrean race]], whose females are [[Green-Skinned Space Babe|green-haired space babes]] (except when they're ''[[Flip-Flop of God|blue]]''-haired) with [[Love Is in the Air|seductive pheromones]], and whose males are gangling hairy ogres. Technically also true of the singular race of Gnorls and Weirdlings, although not for the usual reasons: Although Gnorls (the females) look like someone's 80-year-old grandma, that's ''still'' prettier than their male counterparts, the Weirdlings (who look like anorexic Yodas in their skivvies).
* In ''[[Changeling: The Lost]]'', a woman who has become a draconic Fairest is this by default, as Fairest are literally "the fairest of them all", and draconics have aspects of the Great Beasts of Faerie, such as [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|dragons]].
