** Some actual goddesses seem to have the same attitude (and lack of dignity) as mariliths. (Be warned, the following links are NSFW.) For many years it was a [[Running Gag]] among AD&D players that [[Evil Is Sexy| the Finnish goddess Loviatar]] got far more than her fair share of player character worshippers solely because of [http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_DJgVg1XpB64/R7pKcL4uhWI/AAAAAAAAAgg/U4EIIEwex_I/s1600-h/Loviatar.jpg her bare-breasted portrayal] in the 1980 ''Deities and Demigods Cyclopedia''. The Babylonian goddess [https://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/84512-.html Ishtar] came in a close second for having nipples visible through her top in one edition's image (and fully topless in [https://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/84939-Copyright%20Tsr,%20Deities%20And%20Demigods,%20Dungeons%20And%20Dragons,%20Retro%20Review.html another]). Not that all of these "goddess with no dignity" examples are [[Fanservice]], however. One can hopefully assume [https://www.blackgate.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/bast1.gif Bast] didn't receive as much devotion despite equally bare breasts, as there weren't many horny teen boys in the 1980s into [[Catgirl]]s who were quite ''that'' much cat. And let's not even discuss [[Fan Disservice| the problems]] facing [https://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/85638-Copyright%20Tsr,%20Deities%20And%20Demigods,%20Dungeons%20And%20Dragons,%20Retro%20Review.html Blibdoolpoolp].
** While Lolth doesn't fit this Trope, lesser Drow goddesses sometimes do. In her original write-up for ''Monster Mythology'', Kiaransalee (goddess of death and vengeance) supposedly only wore silver chains upon her otherwise unclothed body; later versions, however, gave her more modesty. Eilistraee is always depicted as naked, with nudity representing the concept of Freedom, which she represents, her worshippers adopting the Trope as well, at least for rituals done in her name.
** No illustration of Verenestra (a goddess revered by nymphs, dryads, and sylphs) was provided in the original ''Monster Mythology'' splat book, but she is described as "wearing only gossamer garments the size of handkerchiefs to provide her with a semblance of modesty."
