Line 170:
** Still played straight in ''[[Trespasser]]''. The Velociraptors are still closer to Utahraptors. And the actual Utahraptor that's the [[Final Boss]]? It's closer to [[Primal Rage|Talon]] in scale.
** And the newest addition to the list is {{spoiler|Troodon}}, which will make its debut in the upcoming ''Jurassic Park: The Game''. They're tiny (by dinosaur standards), but if even ONE of them bites you ({{spoiler|They're venomous too, just like the dilos!}}), it's probably too late to run away.
* ''[[Night of the Lepus]],'' a movie about '''[[Attack of the 50
* The gopher in ''[[Caddyshack]]''.
* ''[[Cats and Dogs]]'' had their antagonist Mr Tinkles--the cute cat who's also a [[Diabolical Mastermind]].
Line 284:
** Several of the weaker [[The Heartless|Heartless]] fall under this, especially the Shadows, which are the first type of Heartless that you encounter in the original game.
*** Wyverns too. Yes, they're man-sized dragons, but they're very cuddly-looking man-sized dragons.
** And in the prequel game, ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep|Birth by Sleep]]'', some of the Unversed [[Your Mileage May Vary|may or may not qualify]], but they also notably feature a ''[[Hair-Raising Hare|literal]]'' [[Killer Rabbit]] amongst their ranks, called (amusingly enough) the Hareraiser, which is described as being "the anti-cuddly".
** Pay [[The Lion King|the Pride Lands]] a visit in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' and Sora turns into one of these. A cute little lion cub who is more than cabable of taking on all the Heartless the world can offer, including the ''[[Attack of the 50
** The Me Me Bunny dream eater in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D]]'' is another literal killer rabbit, and it also has a nasty magic using cousin that appears in the final world.
* An almost literal example from ''[[Odin Sphere]]'' is Prince Cornelius. He looks all cute and stuff, but easily he'll hand you your ass with his [[Mega Man Zero|Zero]]-like fighting style.
Line 312:
** ''[[Final Fantasy XII]]'' has several classes of cutesy enemies, including mandragoras, onions, cacti, and some fiends that actually look like rabbits. The cute enemies your party encounters early in the game generally will not attack unless you attack them first, but later versions are more hostile and can inflict lots of nasty status effects. The king of them all is Fury, a cute little boss bunny who lives in the Necrohol of Nabudis.
** There's also an enemy that's actually called the "Vorpal Bunny".
** The bunnies (okay, "Dreamhares") in ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics
** Cactuars. They look like cute little cactus people. but they have a [[Fixed Damage Attack]] that can deal 1,000 damage, no matter what. Even worse is that some games have a second version that can do 10,000 damage, more than the normal HP cap, meaning instant death to anything it hits.
*** Then there's ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'''s optional superboss version, King Cactuar. His version of the [[Fixed Damage Attack]] does 99,999 damage.
Line 374:
** Then, of course, there's quite possibly the reigning king of this trope (screw seniority) Peter Puppy. A little, pink puppy who, if he gets hurt, changes into a massive, purple, spikey monster with lots of teeth and drains a third of your heath as it literally chews you up and spits you out.
* The deadliest monsters in ''[[Valkyrie Profile]]'' are neither dragons nor demons. No, the deadliest creatures in the game are... hamsters. [[Boss in Mook Clothing|And they will slaughter your party if you don't know how to handle them]]. In the [[Bonus Dungeon]] of both games, there is a possibility that you may fight hamsters right before the [[Bonus Boss]] ...it's actually ''worth'' killing the Angel Iseria Queen, [[Bonus Boss]] of the game, ''10 times'' to receive the [[Infinity+1 Sword|Angel Slayer]] as it may give you a chance to hurt the hamsters.
* Similarly, in another one of tri-Ace's games, ''[[Star Ocean: Till the End of Time]]'', the Sooties (little balls of soot with eyes) are by far the most difficult regular monsters you'll ever meet. They're insanely fast and strong, and due to their tiny size are really difficult to hit. Incidentally, the first ''[[Star Ocean 1]]'' includes a "Vorpal Bunny" as one of its enemies. Though it does look cutesey, it's also twice the size of a human, so not ''all'' that cute.
* This is pretty much the entire point behind the ''[[Gaia Online]]'' MMO: ''zOMG!''. Yes, that is actually the name. The basic plot is that relatively harmless inanimate objects such as garden gnomes, cotton balls, and cloves of garlic are somehow becoming animated. A literal case of [[Everything Trying to Kill You]], if you will.
** The result can be best summed up in a promotional poster featuring a musclebound, heavily armored Orc trapped up a tree by a ''Lawn Gnome'', "Cute? Cute never tried to eat your leg."
Line 388:
* Near the end of ''[[Wizardry]] VI: Bane of the Cosmic Forge'', you may run into faeries in the same areas you're routinely facing down dark crusaders, greater demons, elite samurai squads, and mind flayers. The faeries are much more dangerous than any of the enemies just mentioned, and indeed one of the toughest enemy types in the game. Just be glad these unassuming [[Demonic Spiders]] don't show up until around the final dungeon.
* ''Perfect World'' has antelope. They look almost harmless compared to the typical werewolf or protoplasmic ooze, but they are both aggressive and equipped with a dangerous [[Mana]] burn.
* ''Every single monster'' in the obscure [[Game Boy Color]] RPG ''[[Lil' Monster]]'' is like this. Although some of them are meant to be fierce and imposing, every monster in the game is rendered in a cute, [[Super-Deformed]] style. Even the final boss, portrayed as a kind of [[Eldritch Abomination]], still has a head that's half the size of his body and dewy eyes.
* The Hairy Bulborb from ''[[Pikmin]] 2'' has huge blue eyes, a tubby round body, and is covered all over in incredibly soft-looking white fuzz. It's downright ''cuddly.'' However, as with any enemy in ''Pikmin'' games, if you so much as ''look'' at it wrong, the Pik-carnage ''will'' be endless.
* The Liir from ''[[Sword of the Stars]]'' are a playable example. They look like friendly whales and dolphins, and are, whenever possible, [[Actual Pacifist|Actual Pacifists]]. However, if you push them to the point that this is no longer possible, it can easily lead to ''bad'' things. The game's resident [[Abusive Precursors]], the Suul'Ka did this by enslaving the Liir and threatening to pollute their oceans to an uninhabitable state. There are no more Suul'Ka in this sector of the galaxy, and possibly in the universe; the Liir used their talent for biotechnology to wipe them out with a genetically engineered retro-plague.
