== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* The entire premise of the ''[[NyarkoNyaruko: SanCrawling with Love]]'' media franchise.
* Would ''[[The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya]]'' count? {{verify}} {{spoiler|The girl is a [[Reality Warper|reality warping]] [[Humanoid Abomination]] who has the hots for the (normal) boy, and there are some arcs focused on trying to prevent her from [[Locked Out of the Loop|unknowingly]] re-writing the universe.}}
** Or at least, that's how we think it is. {{spoiler|A very common fan theory is that the "normal" boy is the actual [[Humanoid Abomination]] [[Tomato in the Mirror|and doesn't realize it]].}}
** And he has a friend who lusts after one alien, then dates another one for a few months.
Line 23:
* In ''[[Tsukihime]]'', the protagonist, Tohno Shiki, has the option of falling in love with the "True Ancestor" of the series' "Vampires", Arcueid Brunestud. Considered an abomination even among her own kind for her monstrous power.
** It should be noted that, from her point of view, ''Shiki's'' the Cthulhu of their relationship, what with him being a natural-born killer of non-humans like herself and his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception meaning that his mind is on the same wavelength as ''death itself.'' And considering that the other bearers of those eyes in the Nasuverse are a Celtic God who can make you die with a glance and the living embodiment of Akasha, she's got a good point.
* ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]]'', Works both ways, with Tsunami, Washu and Tokimi ''supposedly''{{verify}} being the omnipotent beings that created ''everything.'' They're after Tenchi who is an '''[[Inverted Trope|even more]]''' [[Fridge Brilliance|omnipotent]] being than they are.
* ''[[Bakemonogatari|Kizumonogatari]]'' has this as the premise.
* The [[OAV]] of ''[[El-Hazard: The Magnificent World]]''. The Demon God destroyed the [[Precursors]]; brought ruin upon the land; and threatened to do the same to present-day El Hazard. Then she and the hero fell in love...
 
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* In the ''[[Buffy]]'' comics ''Dawn'' infamously does just this in [http://www.whedon.info/Buffy-Season-8-Comic-Book-Issue-25.html?id_document=99028#documents_portfolio cover art] ([[Not Safe for Work|not safe for humanity]]) In Dawn's defense, the cover is the only illustration of Kenny's true form; for all other appearances he is in human form.
* The [[Incredible Hulk]] and [[Eldritch Abomination|Umar]] once had a fling, [[Black Comedy Rape|if you can call it that]].
** And now [https://web.archive.org/web/20160317105829/http://www.comicbookresources.com/prev_img.php?pid=9307&pg=3 she's come back for seconds.]
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20140219013516/http://files.myopera.com/cabernet/albums/20735/El%20hijo%20de%20la%20Muerte%20-%20Quino.png This] strip from Argentinian cartoonist ''[[Quino]]''; actually its a ''[[Black Comedy Rape|Did You Just Rape Cthulhu]]?''
* A violent deconstruction in [[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]], where the [[Satan|Demon lord]] [[Our Demons Are Different|Trigon]] mated with human female Arella Roth. He raped her, did this only so she could give him a child that would serve as his portal to the real world, and she almost committed suicide after the act. The child grew up to become the [[Dark Is Not Evil|superheroine]] [[Dark Magical Girl|Raven]], who then [[Anti-Anti-Christ|focused on preventing her father from succeeding]].
* In Marvel Comics, Thanos is in love with the embodiment of Death; his motive for universal genocide being attempts to please her. This often leads to Thanos feeling jealousy on account of...
** [[Deadpool]]. He's fallen in love with Death too, as he's had so many near-death experiences. Ironically, she actively demonstrates affection for Deadpool on a regular basis, something she very rarely does towards Thanos.
* Duncan, the protagonist of ''[[Fire Breather]]'', is the son of a human woman and a Kaiju. Seriously. (His parents are separated and have joint custody.) [[How Is That Even Possible?]] Duncan doesn't know, Duncan does not ''want'' to know.
 
== [[Fan Works]] ==
Line 41 ⟶ 42:
** For example, Reimu X Yukari, aka the Border Ship: human [[Miko]] paired with a virtually godlike [[Youkai]] [[Reality Warper]]. Who may or may not actually be [[A Form You Are Comfortable With|as humanoid as she appears]].
* [[Naruto]] is often paired with Kyuubi.
* In the ''[[Harry Potter]]/[[La Blue Girl]]'' crossover ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5739420/1/La_Blue_Wizard La Blue Wizard]'' by "canoncansodoff", James Potter is a Shikima, a variety of demon that feeds on human sexual energy. And so is baby Harry...

Line 56 ⟶ 58:
** [http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CvgEnPIYQ_U/TL7T2mAtBHI/AAAAAAAAAIs/qRu7hZJaKTk/s1600/barney_stinson.jpg Challenge Accepted]!
* [[Star Wars Expanded Universe|Star Wars]] [[Fate of the Jedi]]: Luke has an ''encounter'' with [[Sealed Evil in a Can|Abeloth]]. {{spoiler|She ''impersonates each of his previous girlfriends'' and then [[Yandere|sets out to kill the ones that are still alive]].}} Loving a Skywalker can be so complicated.
* The entire point of the ''[[LightNyaruko: NovelsCrawling with Love]] '' [[NyarkoLight SanNovels]]'', except that it's the Cthulhu-side person herself who initiates the relationship to the human protagonist (to varying degree of success). And no, it's not nasty... most of the time.
** [[Girls Love|Cthugga x]] [[Brain Bleach|Nyarlathotep!]]
* ''[[Beowulf]]'': Grendel's mother was allegedly an eldritch abomination - and supposedly the biblical Cain decided she was just too sexy to resist. The gods struck him dead on the spot, and his lover then birthed the monstrous Grendel to remember her late lamented beau by. In some accounts Grendel had two brothers that were almost as nightmarish, including a shark that swam through the sky.
