So adorable that [[spoiler:Zorbak's attempt to turn them into an evil army and take over the world failed because the people of Amityvale adopted them as pets]]. [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments Awwww]].

* Hellephant on Regretsy (the site has been shuttered), who inspired some adorable fan art despite still being stained and missing an ear.
* ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'': The Cheat and his old-timey cousin, The Sneak. Maybe it's just the art style -- the Cheat's baffling physiology probably ''would'' make for a pretty horrific-looking creature in a more realistic style.
* ''WebOriginal/LoomingGaia'': Despite being a [[OurKoboldsAreDifferent kobold]] with lumpy skin and a misshapen face, Tojum looks rather cute in her dress.

* ''Website/{{Neopets}}'': Some of the mutant, "prehistoric", Halloween-themed, and "evil" versions of the Neopets.
* ''WebOriginal/ProtectorsOfThePlotContinuum'': When a canon character's name is misspelled in badfic, a 'mini' creature appears: a small version of a monster from that canon. For Lord of the Rings, Mini-Balrogs, and for Harry Potter, there are Mini-Aragogs, etc. These are cute, but also just as ugly as their larger counterparts.
* [[https://www.furaffinity.net/view/8602654/ Rotarr]], a character created by Lisa Heschl, is an anthropomorphic housefly. While she's got some {{Squick}}y aspects (including an insect tongue and a mottled, gray, hairy body), she's still much closer to a CuteMonsterGirl than to [[Film/TheFly1986 Brundlefly]].

** Instances of [[PetMonstrosity SCP-040-1]], the [[LEGOGenetics creations]] of SCP-040, could also be seen like this.
** SCP-811's description makes her sound like a revolting predatory beast, but her interview log makes her sound like a little child with a cute speech impediment.
** SCP-1471a is described as "cute" (in a macabre sort of way) by those affected by SCP-1471 after they get over its NightmareFace. Keep in mind that it is a shadowy HumanoidAbomination with black hair and a dog's skull for a face that stalks you through texted-pictures and reflections. Its harmless, and is implied to be created as a companion for lonely people, but it is still unnerving to see for some.

* ''WebAnimation/{{Shrapnel}}'': Like the meme they are based on, the Ugandan Knuckles are these weirdly deformed bug-eyed [[FunnyAnimal echidna people]], but their big eyes make them kind of cute in a weird way.
* ''Podcast/WelcomeToNightVale'': The eponymous creature from "[[Recap/WelcomeToNightValeEp43Visitor Visitor]]", which Cecil initially fawns over as being straight up ''adorable''. However, his description of it is very... odd, with it being vaguely spherical, with stubbly little nubs for limbs are large, staring 'duck eyes', until even Cecil is forced to admit it might not be cute so much as just plain ''weird''. [[spoiler: Of course, after what it does to the station cat, its hard to think of it as cute in any capacity.]]
* ''Zombies a la Mode'': The waiter zombie you play as is strangely adorable, especially because of the messy bangs of hair sticking out from under his hat and the [[TheWoobie permanent expression of distress]] upon his face throughout the game. This is [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded by the female zombie at the shop, who frequently mentions him being cute]].

Added DiffLines:
[[folder:Webcomics]]
* ''Webcomic/CatanaComics'': The characters are all drawn in a very simplistic design that features round heads, bulging round eyes, and tiny mouths almost between their eyes. However, it somehow works quite well and gels with the incredible wholesomeness of the comic's content.
%%* ''Webcomic/{{Catena}}'': Mr. Cuddles the tarantula.
%%* ''Webcomic/CheckPlease'': {{Gonk}}y [[http://omgcheckplease.tumblr.com/post/119042940532 baby Jack]]. As a young adult he's a {{Hunk}}.
* ''Webcomic/{{Chimneyspeak}}'': Chelsea Grinn is a ravishing young woman... who's covered with scars and is utterly psychotic... and still is adorable in her own way.
* ''Webcomic/{{Cloudscratcher}}'' has Toosus, which have the body structure of a spider, and the texture of a puppy.
* ''Webcomic/CursedPrincessClub'' has Princess Gwendolyn of the Pastel Kingdom. She has a creepy goblin-like appearance complete with ScaryTeeth, but her kind personality, girly PrincessClassic clothes, and the close relationship that she and her non-creepy siblings have with each other make her quite lovable.
* ''Webcomic/DaddyLongLegs'': The characters are all [[BigCreepyCrawlies giant insects and arachnids]], but come across as ''incredibly'' cute. (With the possible exception of [[NightmareFace Scapegrace]], though YMMV.)
* ''Webcomic/{{Digger}}'': This is a common theme, as well as Creator/UrsulaVernon's other work. Currently she's on a kick of making adorable phalloi -- which are Greek fertility symbols that are basically penises with wings and feet.
%%* ''Webcomic/DominicDeegan'': Bort, who seems to be one of the few characters that the Hatedom itself accepts.
* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'': It's yet another horrible death trap of fun in the AxCrazy building Castle Heterodyne, but the Nyar spider is just so cute (it even eats its victim with a little knife and fork.)
%%* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'': Chaos in her CreepyChild form.
* ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'': Zimmy has very nearly MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily, greyish skin, hair like a StringyHairedGhostGirl, inexplicable black stuff that usually covers her eyes (which are [[RedEyesTakeWarning bright red]] under all that), and is strange, mean, and prickly and enjoys chasing rats -- but there's a certain charm to her appearance and she has her nice moments, and is therefore rather adorable. Plus, her relationship with Gamma is very, very sweet. I couldn't help but go "awww" when Zimmy and Annie [[spoiler:arrived where Gamma was in Zimmy's dark, terrifying hallucination (which seems to come right off a ''Franchise/SilentHill'' game), and Gamma was sleeping peacefully on top of a giant pile of cute, brightly colored stuffed toys, representing just how much she means to Zimmy]].
* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'':
** All of the Trolls other than [[CatGirl Nepeta]] [[BadassAdorable Leijon]] and [[{{Adorkable}} Tavros]] [[NiceGuy Nitram]] (who are more just plain cute) count too. Exaggerated [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/mspaintadventures/images/f/f9/Grubs.png/revision/latest?cb=20101026203741 when we see them as wrigglers.]] And look what would happen [[http://nire-chan.deviantart.com/art/HS-Grub-Tier-290575781 if they would godtier.]] Who knew little [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation rainbow-colored]] maggot things could be so cute?
** Some of the lusii may count too. Tinkerbull is under this category, though he's more just plain adorable. Aurthour, the weird-looking centaur-cow-man lusus of Equius, fits better. He's definitely not cute by normal standards, but his mannerisms help him to achieve a similar effect. Kanaya's lusus definitely falls under this. It's basically a truly gigantic winged bug with a skull for a face. But she's such a caring guardian to Kanaya! Look at her [[spoiler:as a sprite]] [[http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100909215161/mspaintadventures/images/0/03/Kanaya2.gif comforting Kanaya]]. And Kanaya mentions reading stories to her on [[YouMeanXMas 12th Perigee's Eve]]. Aww.
** This is the only way to describe how [[spoiler:[[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006997 Calliope]]]] looks. One is led to believe that she is a different and more attractive-looking species right up to her reveal, making your first reaction be "What the '''''hell''''' is that thing!?", but then you realize that she's ''adorable''. About half the fanbase thinks [[spoiler:her brother [[CardCarryingVillain Caliborn]], the juvenile form of [[BigBad Lord]] [[EldritchAbomination English]],]] is almost as adorable. How can you honestly take [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/storyfiles/hs2/05958_2.gif this face]] seriously as that of [[spoiler:the angel of double-death]]?
** Some of the members of the Midnight Crew and the Felt are rather endearing-looking in a cartoony sort of way, despite being alien gangsters. [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003081 Clubs Deuce]] especially so.
%%** [[http://mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/Mutie Mutie]], the four-eyed kitten.
%%** And the imps. Easy to kill, but how can you hate them?
* ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob'': Molly's pet Snookums is a space monster Bob calls a "tentacle bunny". Molly herself is a pretty weird-looking creature. Roofus the Robot would not be especially cute if not for his innocent personality; well, okay, the construction-worker cap built into his head is kind of cute. And Voluptua, even in her alien butterfly form, still manages to be very attractive.
%%* ''Webcomic/LovelyLovecraft'': Phil in his Earthly form is almost cute, and presumably the other Night Gaunts are too.
* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'': Due to the art style, many normally horrific monsters can turn out this way. For example, Tsukiko apparently sleeps with a plushie version of Xykon, and the instant that comic appeared all the fans wanted one. For context, Xykon is an undead MagnificentBastard. He's also an adorably drawn stick figure skeleton with [[ExpressiveMask expressive glowing eye-sockets]], a cheerful-looking skeletal grin, and a little golden crown floating just above his head. In plushie form, too cute for words.
* ''Webcomic/PlanescapeSurvivalGuide'': Tchick the Beholder is's a giant floating eyeball who has extra eyes on stalks around his bulbous body. And all the other beholders won't even let him play their beholder games!
%%* ''[[https://www.rustledjimmies.net/comic/ Rustled Jimmies]]'': The chubby little bald dudes.
* ''Webcomic/{{Selkie}}'': The titular character is an [[FangsAreEvil orthodontic nightmare]] with HellishPupils and a bluish skin tone more commonly associated with walking corpses. She describes herself as "[[http://www.selkiecomic.com/?p=80 a pretty one]]", and the fans are inclined to agree. (The tipping points seem to be that a): she has normal human hair, and b): apart from the fangs, her smile is the same as that of any other HeartwarmingOrphan.)
* ''Webcomic/SomethingPositive'': Choo Choo Bear has to fall under this trope. A hairless cat, over thirty years old, whose cancer treatments in his younger days reduced his bones to a gelatinous substance that let him contort into various shapes and travel through sewage pipes. He's a bit of a freak, but he's ''so %*!& cute'' that he gets forgiven for just about anything he does, up to and including suspected murder.
%%* ''Webcomic/TalesOfTheQuestor'': Squidge the bogeyman is somewhat reminiscent of Gollum and Stitch.%%And?
* ''Webcomic/{{tinyraygun}}'': The Geckoids, who have these big oxygen helmets that make them look like they've got a huge overbite, and an eternally grumpy look in their eyes.
* ''Webcomic/UglyClub'': The various {{Public Domain Character}}s (FrankensteinsMonster, Literature/ThePhantomOfTheOpera, [[Literature/BeautyAndTheBeast the Beast]], [[Literature/TheManWhoLaughs Gwynplaine]], and [[Literature/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame Quasimodo]], with guest appearances by Theatre/CyranoDeBergerac) who make up the MassiveMultiplayerCrossover cast. The artist averts AdaptationalAttractiveness and does not diminish the characters' canonical deformities, but between the cartoony art style and the humorous characterization, they still come across as quite endearing.
%%* ''Webcomic/TheUnspeakableVaultOfDoom'': The cartoony {{Eldritch Abomination}}s.
%%* ''WebComic/{{Wurr}}'': Pretty much all of the hellhounds. Underfed, deformed doggies never looked so cute.

-->'''Tex Talks [=BattleTech=]:''' You see, the Urbanmech is like a pug. Derpy, small, and full of character.

** Eyeball beholderkin have huge central eyes, magic-beam-shooting eyestalks, and fanged mouths like their larger, more dangerous relatives -- and are [[FunSize about the size of large grapefruit]].
** [[http://www.aidedd.org/dnd/images/devilImp.jpg Imps]] and [[http://www.aidedd.org/dnd/images/quasit.jpg quasits]], the smallest of devils and demons respectively.
** Most baby dragons don't look very much better than their adult forms, but are still able to pull this off. Especially blue dragons, for some reason. [[http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110429071257/forgottenrealms/images/8/87/Blue_dragon_Wyrmling.jpg Blue dragon wyrmlings]] have huge eyes, faces that look like they've run face-first into a brick wall, big ears (which no other chromatic dragon has) and nubby horns. They're like spiky blue pugs the size of golden retrievers. [[http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/forgottenrealms/images/e/ed/Pseudodragon.JPG Pseudodragons]], also described as having "the personality of a common housecat". D'awww, I want one!
** Flumphs embody this trait. Think of a pancake crossed with an octopus floating around and you've got the idea.
** Goblins and kobolds. Two races of three-foot-tall people whose apparent racial destiny is to be killed by first-level [=PCs=] -- you have to feel for them a little.%%[[http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Kobold Cutebolds]] are the logical conclusion of this trope.%%How and why?

** The infamous [[http://blogs-images.forbes.com/davidewalt/files/2014/09/rust-monster-close.jpg rust monster]] resembles a giant mix of a cockroach and an armadillo, but according to the 5th Edition Monster Manual, they're very docile and friendly creatures that make great pets as long as one has no metal on them. Awwwww...No wonder one was chosen as the mascot for ''Webcomic/RustyAndCo''.
%* ''TabletopGame/IronKingdoms'': Pygmy trolls and troll whelps.

* ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'': Goblins are the game's MascotMook for a reason. They're a race of [[PluckyComicRelief cartoonishly stupid]] pyromaniac murderous chibis with a penchant for morbid little songs and wacky antics.
* ''TabletopGame/{{Pokethulhu}}'' tends to aim here with its, direct quote, "adorable eldritch monsters from the icy depths of space". The game's mascot, Pikathulhu, is Pikachu as a {{Cthulhumanoid}} (within a sufficiently loose definition of "humanoid").
* ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'':
** There's a race of [[OurOrcsAreDifferent Orks]] who are so exaggerated and silly, some find them oddly adorable. Everyone else finds them all kinds of awesome.
%%** The Orks' pet Squigs solidly fall into this category, as do Gretchin on occasion.%%How?
** Chaos has Nurglings, rotund little goblinoid daemons who can often be seen clinging to their larger kin. Possibly the most adorable pustulent hellspawn you will ever meet. [[https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Chaos-Daemons-Nurglings Now in Miniature form]]

* The legendary "Robert The Doll" would fit in this trope. Sure, he's a haunted doll rumored to curse you if you don't ask him permission before taking his picture, but he is [[http://www.robertthedoll.org/ kinda cute.]]
* This aesthetic is pretty much why that frog doll... thing... ([[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/get-out-frog-the-something-awful-frog-frogout here, just look at it]]) is a [[MemeticMutation popular icon]]. Commonly associated with the phrase "[[GetOut GET OUT]]", probably because it looks kind of mean.

** Squishables has made plush versions of all sorts of oddly adorable creatures from octopi to jellyfish to axolotl to even Cthulhu. Yes, there's a squishy Cthulhu.
* This is pretty much the explanation for the success of Troll dolls.
* The ''Toys/MyPetMonster'' toy line (and associated media) from the 1980s was a deliberate attempt to invoke this trope, especially with the "My Monster Pet" toys, [[http://www.ghostofthedoll.co.uk/Toys_MyPetMonster.htm which were more dog-like]]. The 2001 Toymax version retooled the Monster making him more conventionally cute, but still falling into this trope.
* ''Toys/TheTrashPack'' is a standard gross-out series filled with disgusting creatures and rotten food. However, the characters are charming enough to have gained a good-sized female fanbase as well. They remain off-beat in the cartoon series, but still keep their gross charm. Its successor, ''Toys/TheGrosseryGang'', also has a similar gross-but-cute charm to it.

There are some who argue that this trope has much to do with parental instinct. Consider: very young human babies aren't conventionally cute at all; that takes a few months. They come into the world as discolored wrinkly blobs that [[CuteButCacophonic scream like the world is ending]] whenever anything upsets them. And yet, all these traits seem to say, "Gotta love me!"

She's a thickset white lioness with a hunchback, extra toes, deformed toes, an smaller extra limb, a useless ear and eye, and overlarge fangs. She's heavily deformed, but cute in her own way, and exceedingly kind. In the words of Rinjapine, "its like she hit the ugly event horizon and shot out the other side to passably cute."
