* The Pols Voice from ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' are small, hopping, bunny-looking creatures that are lacking in limbs and mouths. ''VideoGame/PhantomHourglass'' reveals they do have mouths: large, leech-like ones on their undersides.

* ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'': [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/digimon/images/e/ed/Tokomon_b.jpg/ Tokomon]] looks like a marshmallow with bunny ears and a CatSmile. Said smile conceals extremely detailed, shiny red gums and multiple rows of teeth.

* The Hoppycats in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBrosWonder'' are fairly cute for the most part...until they reveal the jagged teeth on their undersides, making them look rather off-putting. It gets even more off-putting when Mario and crew, turned into Hoppycats, display the teeth in the moments before they bounce off enemies.

* ''VideoGame/MetroidOtherM'': Little Birdie is a small, cute creature that looks like a rabbit with chicken legs. However, it opens its mouth to reveal large, carnivorous teeth and a long, ravenous-looking tongue. To make things worse, it happens to be the larval form of Ridley, who will become Samus's nemesis.

* The Hoppycats in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBrosWonder'' are fairly cure for the most part...until they reveal the jagged teeth on their undersides, making them look rather off-putting.

** The [[https://bogleech.com/mortasheen/gobblegeist.htm Gobblegeist]] has a mouth full of hideously sharp teeth, but the drawing at the end of its article shows that it's face doesn't look that much different from a HaveANiceDaySmile when its mouth is closed.

* In ''Film/CaptainMarvel'', [[spoiler:Goose]], an alien pet, looks just like an ordinary housecat, until its head unfolds into a mass of four-meter long tentacles. It turns out to be an incredibly dangerous alien known as a Flerken, and [[KillerRabbit both the Kree and the Skrulls are afraid of it for that reason.]]

* ''{{WebOriginal/Mortasheen}}''

* ''Film/{{Evolution}}'': One scene shows one of the aliens as a cute little pug. But when it opens its mouth, [[NestedMouths it reveals a scary vulture head inside.]]

Compare: ButterFace (an attractive body with an ugly face), CuteMonster (where a monstrous entity has cute aspects), KillerRabbit (in which something is very dangerous in contrast to its cute appearance), and NightmareFace (gor scary faces in general), ScaryTeeth (for scary teeth in general).

* A few ''VideoGame/{{Pokemon}}'':

* The Pols Voice from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZelda'' are small, hopping, bunny-looking creatures that are lacking in limbs and mouths. ''VideoGame/PhantomHourglass'' reveals they do have mouths, large leech-like ones on their undersides.

* ''Series/DoctorWho'': The Pting in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS37E5TheTsurangaConundrum "The Tsuranga Conundrum"]] is a creature with a small, childlike stature and plenty of sharp teeth.

* ''{{VideoGame/Off}}'': The Judge is a [[TalkingAnimal cute talking cat]], with a jarringly large, creepy smile. It's even drawn with detailed teeth, unlike the rest of him.

* Downplayed in ''VideoGame/{{Splatoon}}''. The inklings have fairly intimidating three-fanged mouths (technically squid beaks), but they are still overall very cute when they smile.

* The ''{{WesternAnimation/Madagascar}}'' short "The Madagascar Penguins in a Christmas Caper" has Mr. Chew, a tiny poodle with plenty of vicious-looking canine teeth.

* ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'': [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/digimon/images/e/ed/Tokomon_b.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/320?cb=20090128050113 Tokomon]] looks like a marshmallow with bunny ears and a CatSmile. Said smile conceals extremely detailed, shiny red gums and multiple rows of teeth.

* Slightly subverted in Season 2 of ''Series/StrangerThings'' when Dustin keeps a baby demogorgon. He seems to be the only character who finds the creature remotely cute; however, any potential there evaporates as soon as it [[EldritchAbomination opens its mouth]].
