* ''{{Warhammer 40000}}'': Slaanesh. [[GenderBender Sometimes.]]

{{Satan}} appears! But it's not the Satan you recognise...this one has an hourglass figure and a cheeky smile...here to seduce our hero (pretty much never the other way round) and steal his soul! (REALLY never the other way around!)

This technically has a justification, or at least works as a blunt metaphor, since Satan is supposed to be tempting and sly when it comes to corrupting people, and being physically attractive would be a legitimate tactic in this case.

[[AC:{{Anime}} and {{Manga}}]]
* Hild from ''AhMyGoddess'', while not {{Satan}} him/herself is still the [[strike:ruler of Hell]] C.E.O. of the Infernal Realm, and being that she's Urd's mother, also doubles as a HotShounenMom.
** Likewise, in the most recent chapters of the manga, when [[spoiler: Hild is removed in a coup by her deputies]], and the the position is taken by [[BlondesAreEvil Hagall]], who is not a bad looker either.
* ''MyBalls'' - most of the demons are hot women, why would Satan be any different?

[[AC:{{Film}}]]

* [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Club_Dumas ''The Dumas Club'']] later filmed as ''Ninth Gate'' featured the devil aka [[SherlockHolmes Irene Adler]] described by the main character as the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

[[AC:{{Comic Books}}]]
* In JohnnyTheHomicidalManiac, the devil has a few different scary horned male forms, but assumes the form of a cute cheerleader girl because it's one of the things that Johnny least likes.

** Which he had been known to do on occasion in the mythology as well (for instance, Sleipnir's origin).

* MarvelComics tends to portray Hela, ruler of the Norse land of the dead as a beautiful seductive woman. In mythology she's often portrayed as half alive half corpse.
** In some continuities she still is half corpse. Her costume is enchanted to give her the appearance of a healthy beauty.

[[AC:LiveActionTV]]
* ''{{Supernatural}}'': The recurring [[AtTheCrossroads Crossroads Demon]] and Reaper may be in a different body every time, yet somehow they are always hot women.

* ''TheComicStripPresents'': "Demonella". The Devil is Jennifer Saunders, c.1988. Enough said?
* [[http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/Devil%27s_Due_%28episode%29 One episode]] on ''StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' had a presumed evil God-like entity claiming to be the devil in the form of a sexy woman.
** Good thing she didn't show up when Kirk was around.

* [[{{Warhammer 40000}} Slaanesh]]. [[GenderBender Sometimes.]]

[[AC:VideoGames]]
* Ultima from {{Final Fantasy Tactics}}.

* [[LouisCypher Louisa Ferre]] in StrangeJourney is what happens when Lucifer is portrayed as mysteriously seductive blond woman. Also, for the ladies, LouisCypher of the other SMT games looks like a dead ringer for David Bowie, who, given his real life MemeticSexGod makes him a desirable being to either gender.

[[AC:{{Webcomics}}]]

* In ''{{Jack}}'', the devil appears to the reader in the form of the cartoonist, but to Jack, it seems he appears as a woman, since Jack refers to the devil as "she."

[[AC:{{Literature}}]]

* Irial from {{Wicked Lovely}} can seduce this troper any day.

* One ''StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' episode had a presumed sinister God-like entity claiming to be the devil in the form of a sexy woman.

* The remake of {{Bedazzled}}. In the original version, Peter Cook wasn't too bad looking either.

[[AC:{{WesternAnimation}}]]
* In {{JusticeLeague}}, Hades himself is actually quite hunky and handsome.

--> ''Although the Devil represented everything we feared, we also really, really wanted to '''do''' him. ''
- '''''EarthTheBook'''''

** The series is a PinkBishoujoGhetto with maybe three males and a couple of undecideds in a cast of hundreds.

* [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Club_Dumas ''The Dumas Club'']] later filmed as [[AdaptationDecay Ninth Gate]] featured the devil aka [[SherlockHolmes Irene Adler]] as the [[SatanIsGood heroine]] described by the main character as the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
** I wouldn't go [[SatanIsGood so far]], the way I saw it, the girl helped Corso because it helped [[XanatosGambit further her interests]].

[[AC:{{Webcomics}}]]

* ''{{Supernatural}}'': She's in a different body every time, and yet somehow the [[AtTheCrossroads Crossroads Demon]] is always a hot woman.
** Or a [[NightmareFuel terrifying]], little British girl. Whatever floats your boat.
*** That was a different kind of demon. But another Crossroads demon has since been seen who was male.
*** Although never stated outright, considering that a few of them have been killed, its pretty obvious they're just another class of demon that prefers attractive women as hosts. Its their boss who had a male meatsuit.

This explanation will rarely be brought up in any of these works.
