Some creatures are [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter all around adorable]]. Others are [[GrotesqueGallery hideous in every way]]. Most beings are somewhere in the middle of the spectrum of cuteness to ugliness, however, and this can manifest in odd ways. For whatever reason, it's oddly common to have a creature that would be absolutely adorable... until they open their mouth.
Cute Creature, Creepy Mouth is when a being's design would be cute, except for the fact that their mouth is decidedly not. This usually comes in the form of the once-cute critter's mouth being [[MonsterMouth weirdly shaped]] or having [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily lots]] of [[ScaryTeeth freaky]] teeth.
