Deathbringer the Adorable: Difference between revisions

* Doña Clotilde from ''[[El Chavo Del Ocho]]'' likes to adopt puppies and baptize them as "Satan" and "Lucifer". Her poor pets also have a tendency to run off, so she tries to bring them back by calling their names loudly. Add this to the fact that her neighbors doesn't always know she has a pet, and [[Hilarity Ensues]] (she's called The Witch of Apartment 71...)

* Subverted in an episode of ''[[That's So Raven]]'' which featured a Yorkshire terrier named Monster.

'''Chelsea:''' No, they named it Monster because [[Killer Rabbit|it'll rip your arms and legs off]]. }}

* The GIANT DEATH RAY from ''[[That Mitchell and Webb Look]]''. It's actually an oversized barcode scanner named after its creator, [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Professor Death]].

** The Professor himself is something of an example: an ardent pacifist whose inventions are intended for peaceful endeavours<ref> Yes, that includes the Armored Scorpion of Death</ref>, who happens to have the surname Death.

* In Season 4 of ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'', the gang is plagued by Gachnar, a fear demon. Buffy is overzealous and breaks his giant symbol, revealing that he was only a couple of inches tall. After some cooing, Gachnar then gets squashed by the slayer's boot.

'''Giles:''' No, it's just tacky. }}

* Same joke, ''way'' different execution occurred in ''[[Angel]]'' when Cordelia, as a princess, and to her vocal disgust, is coerced to mate with a hideous, destructive monster called the Groosalugg...until she finds out 'Groo' is only hideous by ''demon'' standards; he's actually an incredibly handsome and skilled human warrior and really quite sweet in temperament. (She still doesn't mate with him, but for different reasons.)

== Webcomics ==

* In the ''[[Housepets]]'' universe, wolves traditionally name themselves. Babylon Garden's resident wolf has [[Ridiculously Cute Critter|half-a-dozen kids]] who can't wait to name themselves. Among current suggestions are "Deathaxe" and "Space Laser".

* This trope is named after ''[[Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures|DMFA]]'' 's "[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_372.php Deathbringer]", an incredibly cute bubble-gum creature. While she picked out her own name, she has so far demonstrated absolutely no aggression nor offensive capabilities whatsoever. The two characters that know she exists also call her Deebs for short.

* ''[[Casey and Andy]]'' has the [http://www.galactanet.com/comic/view.php?strip=312 PLANET DEVOURER!] However, it does eat Mars. {{spoiler|A model of Mars, not the actual planet.}} Later on, it proves able to chew through Satan's most powerful magical artifact. The Planet Devourer actually ''can'' devour anything... it just has to do so one dainty nibble at a time.

* ''[[PvP]]'' features an adorable kitty cat named Scratch Fury, Destroyer of Worlds. It could be called subverted--Scratch actually wants to conquer the Earth--but he's so easily distracted by cat things that he's ultimately ([http://www.pvponline.com/2006/10/05/oct-5-2006/ mostly]) harmless.

* ''[[Flintlocke's Guide to Azeroth|Flintlocke vs. The Horde]]'' has [http://pc.gamespy.com/flintlocke-vs-the-horde/hares-and-heroines-/913756p1.html Bun'kar, the warrior bunny]. Being a hunter's pet, it might become [[Killer Rabbit]] later, though. While Bun'kar, the warrior bunny, never fights, he and his hunter manage to overpower at least three characters, one of which was significantly stronger. The healer(Doc) remarks "That rabbit was dynamite."

* When ''[[8-Bit Theater (Webcomic)|Eight Bit Theater]]'''s Light Warriors had Drizzl surrounded and down for the count, Drizzl attempted to summon the "True Guardian" of the cave, which he had bought from [[Con Man]] Akbar based on its description as a fierce [[Biological Mashup|chimera]] with claws, fire breath, and potent venom. Drizzl discovers at the worst possible moment that the creature was just a platypus with a makeshift flamethrower strapped to its underbelly.

* Strange variation: there's a song on one of the ''[[Homestuck]]'' soundtrack albums titled "[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/walls-covered-in-blood Walls Covered in Blood]." Where the title might imply [[Paint the Town Red|a murderous rampage]], it's actually the [[Leitmotif]] of [[Moe]] [[Catgirl]] Nepeta Leijon, whose bedroom walls are indeed covered in blood because [[Shipper on Deck|she uses it to draw charts shipping all her friends]], and the song itself is a [[Tastes Like Diabetes|painfully cutesy]] upbeat [[Mario Paint]] track.
