* ''[[The Chronicles of Narnia]]'' has a mild case of this trope. In ''[[The Horse and His Boy]]'', different characters claim that the Calormene nobles are descended from Tash, the chief Calormene deity, who is eventually seen in ''[[The Last Battle]]''. Assuming that's literally true, it means Tash- a creature with a vulture's head, a skeletal humanoid body and four taloned arms who stinks of death- periodically mates with human women. Oh, and Aslan describes Tash as a demon. |

** "Assuming that's literally true" is a pretty big assumption. How many [[Real Life]] rulers have claimed to be descended from gods? And how would that mesh with Aslan's claim that [[Squick|every positive act of worship towards Tash was accepted by Aslan]] (and every negative to Aslan accepted by Tash)? |

*** Still, it's not impossible to consider. Lewis wrote a universe that at least in part used Greek mythology. While Tash wasn't derived from those myths, it's not out of the question that Lewis knew about the whole [[Double Standard Rape Divine On Mortal]] thing. |

*** If that's the case though, it is entirely possible that Tash would take a more desirable form for the...erm, courtship. |
