History Main / CreepyChild

* Little [[MoralityPet Keiko]] in ''ComicBook/UsagiYojimbo''. Her only relative was robbed and killed by bandits, and they were about to kill her too when Jei, the book's most [[ImplacableMan stubbornly recurring villain]], appeared, declared them to be "evil" and killed them. Keiko almost got the same treatment, but he randomly decided she wasn't evil. She's been traveling with him since then, calling him "uncle", and her ability to remain [[CheerfulChild cheerful]] through massive bloodbaths is [[DissonantSerenity chilling]].
** What's also chilling that if this is a result of Jei's evil spirit suppressing her emotional development, the resulting emotional whiplash that is bound to happen if and when that suppression is lifted might likely traumatize her into insanity.

->'''Marge:''' (''looking out the window to the front lawn'') There's just something about flying a kite at night that's so ''unwholesome.''\\
'''Bart:''' (''turns head to the window. In monotone with lidded eyes and an eerie smile'') ''[[http://youtu.be/Xwwm8NDH9Ls Hello, mother dear.]]''

* The sister series to ''Higurashi'', ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'', features Maria, the protagonist's nine year old cousin who has a creepy fixation with the occult and a tendency to start [[EvilLaugh laughing whenever someone's murdered]]. She's much worse in the anime than in the original sound novels thanks to {{Flanderization}}. However, despite her strange behaviour she isn't actually evil, just ''very'' [[NoSocialSkills socially maladjusted]], and her obsession with the occult is a way for her to cope with being bullied and her mother's [[AbusiveParents abusive treatment]].

* TabletopGame/{{Malifaux}} being Malifaux, this pops up several times. The main contenders are from the Neverborn: Candy is the Woe of Innocence Lost, who takes the form of a small girl with pigtails and a basket of (poisoned) sweets; Baby Kade is a wild eyed baby with a knife and a penchant for killer teddies. There are also more sympathetic examples, The Stolen are [[PeterPan Lost Boys]]-style pre-teen boys lured into The Breach and [[PoweredByaForsakenChild used ruthlessly as meat shields or sources of power]].

* Chelsie Warner of ''Webcomic/{{Concession}}'' appears to be a cuddly anthropomorphic lamb-girl in a pink dress. On her first appearance, she stabs Artie Crowley in the eye with a crayon. Shortly thereafter, [[spoiler:she has sex with him when he's too delirious to realise what he's doing. When he wakes up, he is horrified not only because of what he's done, but because "Chelsie is actually a '''[[UnsettlingGenderReveal boy]].'''" It's recently been revealed that Chelsie's hypersexual behaviour is related to a form of childhood bipolar disorder. She became significantly less creepy with proper medication and hormone treatment, after being adopted by the local (quite definitely ''non''-paedophile) preacher. The WhereAreTheyNow epilogue shows her in her late teens, [[{{Transsexual}} fully transitioned]], apparently recovered from her unfortunate past, and calling Father Tim "Dad".]]

* Cameron in [[http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Gj6IyOrMWnQ The Babysitter.]] He speaks seldomly, won't respond to the babysitter or his mother, watches the same YouTube video over and over again, and has a nasty habit of showing up behind people. Additionally, when [[spoiler: he somehow summons the [[UncannyValley host of the show]] and his giant teddy bear sidekick, both dripping blood and sporting SlasherSmile s]], he has no reaction; in fact, he seems ''happy'', even after [[spoiler: his babysitter is killed before his eyes and it is implied his mother is next.]]

** [spoiler:Bill's] reincarnations. Toby, a sweetheart with some...interesting personality quirks such as calling pain "funny feelings", is a good example of one. This is often subverted though.

* TheWyattFamily used creepy children, most notably wearing sheep masks and brown cloaks, and having [[CreepyChildrenSinging the children sing Christian hymns in a evil manner]] in several of their feuds, most notably with Wrestling/JohnCena, Wrestling/DanielBryan and their girlfriends [[Wrestling/BellaTwins The Bella Twins]]. In several matches, children under the Wyatt Family's control have interfered in their matches against Cena and Bryan.

* ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'' has [[spoiler: Diana]], whose [[PsychicPowers empathic abilities]] make her uncomfortably knowing, which along with her purposefully calm demeanour, frequently creeps people out, until they get to know her at least.

* ''Fanfic/{{Sleepless}}'' contains several examples. The first installment has Diamond Tiara [[spoiler: a nine-year-old serial killer with insomnia]], and a couple of residents of mental clinic for foals in Trottingham. The third story in the series, ''Manehattan Blues'' adds White Dove [[spoiler: who doesn't hesitate to burn a warehouse with her classmate inside]]. ''Children of Equestria'' gives us also [[spoiler: Diamond Tiara's hallucinations of Silver Spoon and Curtain Call]].

* TheWyattFamily used creepy children, most notably wearing sheep masks and brown cloaks, and having [[CreepyChildrenSinging the children sing Christian hymns in a evil manner]] in several of their feuds, most notably with Wrestling/JohnCena, DanielBryan and their girlfriends [[Wrestling/BellaTwins The Bella Twins]]. In several matches, children under the Wyatt Family's control have interfered in their matches against Cena and Bryan.

* ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'' provides the example of [[spoiler:Rika Furude, the little miko girl]] who usually serves as a DeliberatelyCuteChild but knows way too much about what has happened and what will happen, and who also possesses a rather disturbing fixation with torture and mutilation. However, this later revealed to be because she's [[spoiler:ReallySevenHundredYearsOld in mentality and often on the receiving end of the aforementioned torture and mutilation due to a GroundhogDayLoop that only she and Hanyuu are aware of]].

* The kids from the Nick.com clickamajig ''Black Licorice''. In the game you're supposed to give them candy but you CAN'T give them black licorice because it causes them to [[TransformationTrauma transform into horrible grotesque monsters]].

* Manna from ''Anime/RoyalSpaceForceTheWingsOfHonneamise'' is one of the best anime examples -- she doesn't really ''do'' anything creepy, per se (although she keeps a pet spider on a string!), but her muteness, sullen nature, and absence of anything even remotely feminine distance her from kawaii anime girls by a huge chasm.

* ''SurvivalOfTheFittest'' v2 has Brandon Cuthbert, a 12 year old genius who skipped a few grades and is in highschool. Before getting sent to the island, he had a fascination with dissecting woodland creatures. And while on the island, he killed at least 3 different characters, including slicing one open after suffocating him to unconsciousness with an X-Box controller. It also happens in quite a few backstories for some characters.

* [=MistBunny=] of ARG/DarkDreamChronicle is a cute little girl who has tea parties and everything. She also just so happens to work for a certain [[TheSlenderManMythos tall, faceless gentleman]]. [=KarmA=] has stated that she really creeps him out.

* ''{{ComicBook/Crossed}}'' has a few of these. There are the Kindergarteners in Volume 1, who are uninfected, but still set traps for people who are passing through the town where they're holed up. Any children who become [[spoiler:or are born as]] Crossed are creepy by default, including [[spoiler:Patrick]].

* ''ThereWillBeBrawl'': [[spoiler: Ness and Lucas.]] And ''How!''

* Little Joel from ''LawnJustice'' seems innocent at first, but [[spoiler:(he's actually responsible for all the destruction in the series)]]. Mommy's little hero.

* [[spoiler: Alyssa Storm]] on Blog/AskTheNewHopesPeak. [[EstablishingCharacterMoment Her very first appearance has her]] [[CruelAndUnusualDeath kill her grandmother by]] [[BrownNote using a sonic weapon that causes her victim to]] [[BloodFromEveryOrifice bleed out from every orifice in their body.]]
