* ''Literature/TheDreamQuestOfUnknownKadath'': ghouls, including those who used to be human, like [[spoiler:Pickman]], do not wear clothing. The "sinister" part is downplayed, since despite all their [[HorrorHunger unpleasant dietary habits]] and sanity-roll inducing appearance, ghouls are [[CreepyGood friendly and helpful]] to Carter.

* In the ''Literature/CodexAlera,'' the more advanced Awakened [[HordeOfAlienLocusts Vord]] [[HiveQueen Queens]] resemble naked women wearing only capes. Far from being sexy, they're quite eerie.

to:

* In "Literature/TheChadbourneEpisode": Ghouls prefer to go nude, but will wear clothes to go undetected among humans. The chauffeur's wife likely wears clothes when she abducts Truman Curtiss but all other times she doesn't. Her children don't wear clothes either. The chauffeur himself wears clothes while working for the ''Literature/CodexAlera,'' Rustum Dadhs, but goes naked when his family moves to the Merritt Family tomb. Canevin encounters him at the cemetery wearing only a coat and trousers that he evidently slapped on in a hurry.

* In the later chapters of ''Literature/TheTerror'', Mr Hickey is found dancing naked in the Arctic wasteland. At first, this scene is played for dark laughs, as Lt Irving believes that he's [[NakedNutter succumbed]] to PolarMadness. However, it's soon revealed that [[spoiler:Hickey is naked because he wants to murder Irving without getting blood on his clothes, and he's dancing so he can keep warm until Irving gets close enough for the killing blow.]] Once this becomes clear, naked Hickey is described in almost inhuman terms, being more like a malevolent goblin than a human.

Added DiffLines:

* ''TabletopGame/BattleTech'': In one instance Khan Malvina Hazen stripped naked on a planet wide broadcast. She then cuts her arms, and covers herself on her own blood. This is her way of saying that she will bathe on the blood of her enemies, and Malvina is by far one of the most cruel and unhinged Clan characters to date. Which is saying a lot in the setting where at least one such character is bound to show up once or twice every hundred years.

* The [[SuccubiAndIncubi Succubus]] of ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' is a common enemy that first appeared in ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight'' as a minor villain and boss out to feed on Alucard's life-force in his nightmares. She's commonly depicted as an EvilRedhead with demon wings and an ImpossibleHourglassFigure, dressed in long silk gloves, a topless corset, silk stocking, and ''nothing else'', leaving her crotch on full display shown to their victims. [[note]] Of course this got BleachedUnderpants in some artworks and figures, especially in their 3D pachinko versions and some merchandising[[/note]] Though this is sometimes played for titillation, in the original, it was more played for horror thanks to the nightmare in which the battle was set and the Succubi's gleefully predatory behavior around Alucard.

* ''VideoGame/KidIcarus'': Syrens were initially depicted as being topless in manual art and are underworld monsters sent by Medusa to kill Pit when he reaches the final level. Subverted in the [[VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising sequel]] where they were redesigned with a breastplate for censorship reasons.

* In ''{{VisualNovel/Tsukihime}}'' when Ciel was possessed by Roa she only ever wore a cloak with clasps around her neck. It represents both her inhumanity in this state as well as how depraved she was since besides killing her victims she was also sexually assaulting them.

** [[HumanoidAbomination Ur-Shulgi]] of the Assamites [[note]]known as the Banu Haqim in more recent editions[[/note]] is a terrifyingly powerful Methuselah of the Clan who likes to emphasize just how inhuman he's become over the course of his millennia-long unlife by refusing to wear clothes except on special occasions. For added horror and revulsion, ur-Shulgi is an eyeless UndeadChild CoveredWithScars.
