Line 82:
* ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]''. Tia Dalma isn't just a nutty voodoo priestess. {{spoiler|She's [[Plot Tumor|the living incarnation of the sea itself, Calypso.]]}}
** Also occurs in the first film where Elizabeth is forced to dine with Barbossa, during which she stabs him in the heart. Barbossa calmly pulls it out, revealing to her that he's actually Undead.
{{quote| '''Barbossa''': I'm curious, after killing me, what is it you're planning on doing next?}}
* In ''[[Return to Oz]],'' Dorothy and her companions eventually confront the Nome King, a shapeshifting [[Dishing Out Dirt|earth elemental]] that all but doubles as the mountain that contains his [[Supervillain Lair]]. As it happens, he's also a [[Affably Evil|polite and warmhearted]] host who provides Dorothy with a meal of limestone pie and hot molten silver -- up until the conditions of his game are revealed.
* According to ''[[Monsters, Inc.]].'', the Abominable Snowman is actually a very welcoming host, who often wonders why he wasn't known as the 'Adorable Snowman', or the 'Agreeable Snowman'. He also happens to be very good at making lemon snowcones.
Line 169:
** The skull, in this case, is totally justified in being weirded out, because to say Baba Yaga is not a nice person severely underestimates her capacity for ill will. In some versions of the traditional fable "Vasilisa the Brave", every last one of Baba Yaga's minions lets Vasilisa go free during her escape attempt, because she showed each one a gesture of kindness as she left, which was baffling and refreshing to beings that had previously only known Baba Yaga's cruelty.
* Orz from ''[[Star Control]] II''. Funny, friendly <ref>if you don't [[Berserk Button|ask them about the Androsynth]] again</ref>, chatty, rather warlike and a bit creepy <ref>''Androsynth are not here. Orz are here.''</ref> [[Eldritch Abomination]] <ref>''Orz are not *many bubbles* '', Orz is ''one with many *fingers* ''</ref>. {{smallcaps|[[Starfish Language|You are help Orz with *parties* ]].}}
{{quote| '''Orz:''' Perhaps after the biggest *party* you will understanding the Orz and I can showing you other *levels*.}}
** Note that the Orz, if their [[Berserk Button]] isn't pushed, are the easiest allies to recruit.
* While [[Strange Girl|Elizabeth]] from ''[[Persona 3]]'' isn't evil, she is still [[Bonus Boss|one of the most deadly foes in the game]] and the motivations of her and Igor are left highly ambiguous. However in the [[Updated Rerelease]], the protagonist has the delightful option of escorting [[Dark Magical Girl|the princess of darkness]] around town on several innocent dates where Elizabeth's [[No Social Skills|lack of knowledge on human social behaviour]] causes [[Hilarity Ensues|hilarity to ensue]]. For bonus points, [[Did You Just Romance Cthulhu?|you even get to sleep with her]], and unlike the other romance options, there is no doubt whatsoever what happened during the [[Fade to Black]].
Line 197:
** Also, any encounter with [[Living Doll Collector|Kharla'ggen]] that doesn't end in an [[And I Must Scream]] scenario is one. [http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=1211 Bringing gifts helps].
* In ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'', Torg is kidnapped by an [http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=041027 Arachnaseuse], a spider-like monster from the Dimension of Pain that ... gives him a relaxing massage.
{{quote| '''Arachnaseuse:''' How do you feel now, mortal spec of meat-flesh?<br />
'''Torg:''' Terrific! Wow, my neck can, like, turn 45 degrees more than before! That was awesome!<br />
'''Arachnaseuse:''' Thank you, mortal spec of meat-flesh! }}
** There's also a whole dimension (an alternative version of the Dimension of Pain) where the demons capture you and serve you delicious food. Mind you, the weight gained from the demon food never comes off, and you'll be enslaved for eternity if you can't pay.
Line 228:
** Veeeeerrrrrry occasionally, though. 99.9% of the time, she'll just eat you.
* Possibly [[X Meets Y|meets]] [[Chess with Death]] in "[http://andersson.elfwood.com/Naught-or-Cross.2524315.html Naught or Cross]" by Fredrik K.T. Andersson, where

* An example from [[Homestar Runner]]: The Horrible Painting "likes to entertain."
* This happens in the ''[[Global Guardians PBEM Universe]]'' once, when one of Los Hermanos's duplicates comes across [[Complete Monster|The Blood Red King]] in an empty New York coffee shop. The villain hadn't even killed any of the shop's staff.
{{quote| '''The Blood Red King:''' Sit down, sit down... if I had wanted to kill you, your entrails would already be hanging from the ceiling fans. Here... have a cup. It's Indonesian. Cream? Sugar?"}}
