** Miriam the [[SharkMan tiger shark]] [[NonHumanHumanoidHybrid wotan]] sits in a strange overlap between this trope, GiantWoman and BigBeautifulWoman. This CuteMonsterGirl is over 4 meters tall, with rippling muscles on her limbs, a soft potbelly, wide hips and breasts that are implied to be enormous even for her stature, with them being described as larger than her head. Despite her very visible muscles, she's beautiful enough that even Ranma Saotome, who has three very jealous would-be lovers, comments appreciatively on her beauty and bustiness, whilst the shyer Ryoga Hibiki passes out at the first sight of her in her trademark two-piece bikini. Future crewmember Harumi is also visibly smitten with her at first sight, blushing like a schoolgirl when she effortlessly lifts him to his feet and fawning on her when she shows off her strength by bulldozing a path through dense jungle, shoving aside boulders and pushing down trees with her bare hands.

* [[ActionGirl Mikasa Ackerman]] from ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' is pretty enough [[LoveAtFirstSight to leave Jean literally speechless]], but, man, is she ripped under that uniform. While you don't get to see much of her muscularity in the actual series, some official illustrations and a scene in one of the OVA’s have her wear a sport’s bra and shorts to show off her incredibly lean and well toned physique. And four years later, Mikasa had likely gotten even ''more'' ripped from training more intensely than before to prepare for the war against Marley; As she looks slightly bulkier compared to four years ago.

** Diana, when aged up in the same incident, is at least six feet tall as well as being both voluptuous and built like a tank, being considered quite literally jaw-droppingly gorgeous, with the narration remarking that her appearance was a living reminder that this young woman was the niece of [[WorldsMostBeautifulWoman Helen]] [[Literature/TheIliad Of Troy]].

* ''Series/GenV'': {{Downplayed}}, but Emma, thanks to her actress, is noticeably taller and more muscular than her female costars. She's got multiple men who find her attractive and have sex with her, though sadly for Emma she isn't treated well by all of them.

* ''ComicBook/BatmanAndTheOutsiders'': Grace Choi from ''ComicBook/{{Outsiders|2003}}'' is a seven-foot tall muscular amazon. Her outfit is usually pants with a sleeveless crop top or a sports-bra-like top, both of which show off her muscular arms and abs. Despite the muscles, height and being somewhat of a butch, [[ReallyGetsAround she's managed to rack up quite a few sexual partners]].

* ''Series/GenV'': {{Downplayed}}, but Emma, thanks to her actress, is noticeably taller and more muscular than her female costars. She's got multiple men who find her attractive and have sex with her, so sadly for Emma she isn't treated well by all of them.

* Tania from ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'', a literal Amazon. She is truly ''gigantic,'' towering over nearly every character in the show both in height and muscularity (her biceps are almost as big as her head). She completely blows Bastion's mind and he becomes hopelessly smitten with her (even [[IChooseToStay staying with her in her home dimension later]]).

* In ''Webcomic/{{Exiern}}'', Typhan-Nee, an unrepentant barbarian, gets gender-bent by an evil wizard very early in the comics (since the whole theme is "transgender barbarian"). The resulting woman, "Tiffany", is every bit the powerfully-built, able combatant she was when she was still a man... as long as his/her rather misogynistic views don't synergize with the curse and make her a weakling. Even other barbarian women are envious of Typhan-Nee/Tiffany's looks, as Tiffany's brother's mate attests.

* ''Fanfic/TheNakedJedi'': Yuuzhan Vong are taller and more thickly built than humans, and since they no longer practice ritual scarification or mutilation, Meelan Lah is a rather attractive example of her people. Description often pays attention to Meelan's thick, rippling muscles.

* ''Fanfic/VoyagesOfTheWildSeaHorse'': Miriam the [[SharkMan tiger shark]] [[NonHumanHumanoidHybrid wotan]] sits in a strange overlap between this trope, GiantWoman and BigBeautifulWoman. This CuteMonsterGirl is over 4 meters tall, with rippling muscles on her limbs, a soft potbelly, wide hips and breasts that are implied to be enormous even for her stature, with them being described as larger than her head. Despite her very visible muscles, she's beautiful enough that even Ranma Saotome, who has three very jealous would-be lovers, comments appreciatively on her beauty and bustiness, whilst the shyer Ryoga Hibiki passes out at the first sight of her in her trademark two-piece bikini. Future crewmember Harumi is also visibly smitten with her at first sight, blushing like a schoolgirl when she effortlessly lifts him to his feet and fawning on her when she shows off her strength by bulldozing a path through dense jungle, shoving aside boulders and pushing down trees with her bare hands.

* ''ComicBook/XWingRogueSquadron'': Over the course of the series, [[TomboyPrincess Plourr Ilo]] is drawn increasingly muscular and increasingly likely to bare her arms, which does better fit with her [[BoisterousBruiser personality]] than her original appearance. It's after this change that recurring agent Kapp Dendo mentions being attracted to her.
* Pash Davane in ''ComicBook/StarWarsMarvel2015'' was a buff WrenchWench who walked around in a ripped tank top showing off her massive biceps, abs, and large breasts.

* Grace Choi from ''ComicBook/{{Outsiders|2003}}'' is a seven-foot tall muscular amazon. Her outfit is usually pants with a sleeveless crop top or a sports-bra-like top, both of which show off her muscular arms and abs. Despite the muscles, height and being somewhat of a butch, [[ReallyGetsAround she's managed to rack up quite a few sexual partners]].
* Kate Kane's first appearance as ComicBook/{{Batwoman}} in ''52'' depicts her as extremely muscular and toned, and she was previously established as rather tall for a woman. Renee Montoya, who happens to be one of the people Batwoman is saving, rather likes what she sees.
* In ''ComicBook/{{Lazarus}}'':

* ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'' in ''ComicBook/ElseworldsFinestSupergirlAndBatgirl'' [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5YsHcdKj67c/TOWTksl9WoI/AAAAAAAABaU/elFp05zTdJ4/s1600/ElseworldsFinest-12%2BSupergirl%2526Batgirl.jpg looks more like a female version of Superman]] than the one in the main DC universe. Like him, she's tall, very muscular, and treated like a goddess by the public.
* The main-universe version of ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'' doesn't usually qualify for this trope, instead appearing as the GirlNextDoor who's also a FlyingBrick, but some more modern artists have drawn her as leanly muscular, with her classic midriff-baring costume showing off an impressive set of abs.
* Caitlin Fairchild from ''ComicBook/Gen13'' DependingOnTheArtist. It's explicitly stated that a muscular physique is part of her powerset, and characters in the series have described her as muscular, but her depictions go anywhere from skinny to slightly ripped to a muscular powerhouse. Regardless of how she's depicted, she is considered extremely beautiful by a lot of characters; her teammate Freefall has a [[http://i.imgur.com/Ln9CBMC.jpg long-standing inferiority complex]] because she feels she can't measure up to [[http://i.imgur.com/uKUTHHh.jpg Fairchild's ridiculous beauty]], for instance.
** Pictured is her ComicBook/New52 incarnation, who can become muscular at will by activating her powers. The first time she shows her abilities is in ComicBook/SuperboyNew52, where the increase in muscle size shreds [[DressedInLayers her first layer of clothes, revealing]] a [[http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/6/60598/2079418-jnjm.png swimsuit-like outfit underneath]].
* ''ComicBook/NewGods'': Big Barda, a former member of Darkseid's [[AmazonBrigade Female Furies]], is a bruiser who makes ''Franchise/{{Supe|rman}}s'' [[TinyGuyHugeGirl look like a midget in comparison]]. She's considered extremely beautiful in-universe, despite her humongous size and muscle tone. [[HappilyMarried (Unfortunately for her admirers, she's taken.)]]
* ComicBook/PowerGirl is often depicted with a muscular build and huge biceps. Her most muscular depiction is in ComicBook/KingdomCome, where she has [[http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s311/cmaeditor/Power_Woman.jpg bodybuilder-like proportions]]. Regardless of physique, she's considered extremely attractive InUniverse, though [[BuxomBeautyStandard it's usually for her softer features]] since she's the bustiest superheroine in the DC universe, and wears a leotard with a huge CleavageWindow showing off that fact.
* ComicBook/ShannaTheSheDevil is tall and has a muscular yet voluptuous body. Having men going ga-ga over her looks is not unusual in the comics (and in the Frank Cho miniseries, said men don't even try to conceal their perverseness... until Shanna finally learns this is not supposed to be done to a woman and nearly kills one of them in retaliation).
* ComicBook/SheHulk is almost seven feet tall, usually muscular. How muscular is [[DependingOnTheArtist dependent on the artist]], but it is a huge range, from just noticeable one issue to out-muscling most male superheroes in another. Still, the height and the muscles haven't stopped her from being one of the Marvel universe's [[ReallyGetsAround most promiscuous]] superheroines. Nor has it stopped her from providing huge amounts of {{fanservice}}, as she frequently finds herself fighting in her underwear, swimwear, or [[ClothingDamage clothes torn to shreds]].

* [[http://www.comicvine.com/images/1300-2511862 Brava]] from ''ComicBook/StrikeforceMorituri'', whose superhuman ability was superhuman size, strength, and resistance, even beyond that of her teammates. She ended up just under seven feet tall, with a muscular build, flowing black hair, and sculpted European facial features. Her costume is a skintight light blue leotard that accentuates her body; not only was she flattered by the attention she received, she was also not afraid to act on it.
* In the 2007 ''ComicBook/AlphaFlight'' reboot, [[Characters/CaptainAmericaHeroes U.S. Agent]] and [[ComicBook/SpiderWoman Arachne]] are sent after a criminal [[DifferentlyPoweredIndividual mutant]] named Daisy who was a tall muscular, blonde woman wearing tight pants and crop top, that shows off most of her physique. When a couple of onlookers call out Agent for [[WouldHitAGirl hitting a girl]], he retorts that the only thing "excessive" is her chest but gets sent flying by a MegatonPunch before he can finish the sentence, while Daisy [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/marveldatabase/images/2/2d/Daisy_%28Villain%29_%28Earth-616%29_from_Omega_Flight_Vol_1_2_001.jpg/revision/latest/top-crop/width/360/height/360?cb=20130531000513 shows off]] with a HeadAndHipPose.
* Knockout, who's made noticeable appearances in ''ComicBook/{{Superboy|1994}}'', ''ComicBook/SecretSix'', and ''ComicBook/BirdsOfPrey'', and is usually depicted with muscular arms. In addition to being, a ''very'' promiscuous MsFanservice, she had a romantic relationship with Superboy that ended when he realized [[CuteAndPsycho she's a violent sociopath]]. After Superboy, she started dating Scandal of the ComicBook/SecretSix. These relationships are likewise emphasized with a heavy dose of InterplayOfSexAndViolence.
* [[HuskyRusskie Heavy's sister Zhanna]] in ''Webcomic/TeamFortress2'' is almost as big and [[StoutStrength beefy]] as he is, yet manages to seduce Scout (before quickly changing her mind after he annoys her) and Soldier with no difficulty whatsoever.
* ''ComicBook/TotallyAwesomeHulk'' features the aforementioned She-Hulk, as well as a new character named Lady Hellbender, who is not only muscular (or at least is depicted as such by Frank Cho's art), but also wears an armored leotard. Her first appearance has the hero, Amadeus Cho, practically drooling over her.
* ''Franchise/WonderWoman'':
** ComicBook/WonderWoman is the WorldsMostBeautifulWoman and usually fights in a revealing, strapless, form-fitting leotard or bustier-hotpants combo. While she's usually depicted as tall and lithe in most issues, there are some where she is portrayed with a very muscular yet voluptuous build for her body, along with strong, toned muscles and legs. Also, a literal amazon.

** Giganta, a member of ComicBook/WonderWoman's RoguesGallery and the second ComicBook/SecretSix, [[MeaningfulName is quite the]] StatuesqueStunner (6'6" by default, and she can [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever grow to several hundred feet tall]]), but is commonly drawn with a muscular build. This is accentuated by her [[IconicOutfit usual attire]] of [[VaporWear a leopard print skirt and matching bra]], giving Giganta a very convincing NubileSavage vibe. Unfortunately for fans of this trope, following DC's ''One Year Later'' storyline, Giganta donned a [[HellBentForLeather leather]] [[SpyCatsuit catsuit]] and appeared to be much slimmer before going back to her original look in ComicBook/DCRebirth.
* Anissa in ''ComicBook/{{Invincible}}'' was a [[SupermanSubstitute Viltrumite]] with toned limbs and large breasts who ended up DefectingForLove after finding a human husband willing to start a family with her [[spoiler: and the [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil rape baby she had with Mark]].]]
* Over the course of ''ComicBook/XWingRogueSquadron'', [[TomboyPrincess Plourr Ilo]] is drawn increasingly muscular and increasingly likely to bare her arms, which does better fit with her [[BoisterousBruiser personality]] than her original appearance. It's after this change that recurring agent Kapp Dendo mentions being attracted to her.

* ''Fanfic/SOE2LoneHeirOfKrypton'': The story makes an emphasis on ''[[Comicbook/{{Supergirl}} Asuka]]'' gaining an impressive muscle build and Shinji being attracted to her.

* Grace Choi from ''ComicBook/BatmanAndTheOutsiders'' is a seven-foot tall muscular amazon. Her outfit is usually pants with a sleeveless crop top or a sports-bra-like top, both of which show off her muscular arms and abs. Despite the muscles, height and being somewhat of a butch, [[ReallyGetsAround she's managed to rack up quite a few sexual partners]].

* Games that allow for a [[CharacterCustomization Create-A-Character]] feature usually provide players with the option to create Amazonian Beauties of their own. The first videogame to have this was probably ''WWF Warzone'', which had three different builds one could give a female [=Create-a-Wrestler=] - normal, skinny, and buff. The [[VideoGame/WWFNoMercy AKI WWF series]] and [[VideoGame/WWEVideogames WWF Smackdown]] series picked up this style of doing [=CAWs=], with ''WWF No Mercy'' having ''seven'' different amazonian beauty body types. As the [=CAW editor feature=] got more advanced, the preset builds were supplemented by sliders which could increase muscle bulk and muscle definition separately and by individual bodypart. This feature was also adapted into non-wrestling games with customizable player characters such as the ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' series.

** And while she doesn't start out this way, main heroine and secondary protagonist Fuuko Izumo is eventually given leadership of the Union and the opportunity to go through a TimeLoop that effectively takes her 170 years in the past. As this also makes her TheAgeless, she spends a lot of the time leading up to the end of the loop preparing herself to [[KillTheGod battle God]]. When the story picks up with her after the loop, she's as [[BadassAdorable cute]] as ever, but she has also trained considerably and packed on a good amount of muscle mass; with several chapters displaying Fuuko’s much more well toned and athletic physique.

* Luisa in ''WesternAnimation/{{Encanto}}'' has a very muscular build, and during her reggaeton musical number she busts some seriously sensual dance moves with her donkey backup dancers.

* Mrs. Arrow, married to Super Arrow, from the ''VideoGame/FZero'' series was introduced in ''VideoGame/FZero X'' with a physique of a bodybuilder. In ''GX'', she's showing off said physique. Her {{Idle Animation}}s at the Settings screen, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MsdjhC7EPI her post-race interview,]] has her flexing one of her arms. In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyfymoXQx_o her ending video]], she's driving an audience wild doing bodybuilder poses in a bikini.

* ''Series/TheMandalorian'': Elia Kane, who's one of the bad guy variety. Her actress Katy O'Brian is a professional martial artist and bodybuilder, so Kane has a muscular build while also being quite attractive.
** Cara Dune, portrayed by mixed martial artist, Gina Carano is more of a heroine character in the series, and she is as beautiful as she is muscular.

* Esmeralda from [[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDameDisney Disney's adaptation of]] ''Literature/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'' is a large, muscular, broad-shouldered woman who wears revealing outfits that exemplify her toned and beautiful body, sensually fights and dances in ways that show off her athleticism, and has no shortage of men lusting after her.
* Eep from ''WesternAnimation/TheCroods'' is a muscular, broad-shouldered, and beautiful NubileSavage [[MusclesAreMeaningful with the strength such a physique would entail]]. She gets plenty of MaleGaze that focuses on her lovely muscles, and over the course of the movie, she steals the heart of the more evolved caveman [[AmazonChaser Guy]].

* The main protagonist Alex from Webtoon/{{Swolemates}}, is initially assumed to be just a normal gamer, and while she ''is'' a professional gamer, once she removes her hoodie to start working out at the college gym, reveals to be a very well toned and beefy bombshell underneath her outfit. And like many people comment in the series she looks absolutely gorgeous, leaving many impressed with her impressive physique. Even Brayden, the secondary protagonist and initially Alex’s narcissistic frenemy, is left amazed by her appearance. Which she is more than proud to show off as she occasionally flexes and lets her well toned biceps pop to “assert dominance". Yet is also pretty insecure about her appearance and doesn’t overly flaunt her muscles either.

Which she is more than proud to show off as she occasionally flexes and lets her well toned biceps pop to “assert dominance".
** However it’s also revealed later on that Alex wasn’t always like this. As Danielle explains to Brayden, a few years ago, Alex was actually overweight, but had a bright future ahead as a professional E-gamer back in high school. Unfortunately as Danielle theorized, the other students in their high school became envious of Alex’s talent and success and started unjustly bullying Alex. Causing the poor woman to suffer deep depression as she was constantly harassed for her appearance and for being a gamer. Even with Danielle’s support it still wasn’t enough to really cheer up during that dark period. But in her first major gaming tournament, the bullies attended the event and kept throwing their jeers, and reached a breaking point and fled from the tournament. Afterwards she suffered a short down spiral but recovered, where after some thinking became very determined to improve herself: starting with her physical health. Thus she worked out rigorously at the gym to reach her fitness goals and succeeded with flying colors; as she lost weight and got pretty swole. Which helped rebuild her confidence despite the trauma still lingering in her mind.

* Maki Zenin from {{Characters/Jujutsu Kaisen}} was already shown to be an incredibly athletic and formidable sorcerer thanks to her heavenly restriction granting her great strength at the cost of having no cursed energy, but after the Shibuya arc Maki sustained severe burns from Jogo’s flames, and was forced to recover from her critical injuries with Shoko’s reversed cursed energy technique. Yet Maki spent that time not only healing, but also training rigorously, and when she reappears is shown to now be sporting-post Shibuya-a much more well muscled physique than before. With her sleeveless outfit showing off her muscular arms and well toned upper body several times. Which may partially add further to her monstrous strength after fully awakening the superhuman strength granted by her Heavenly restriction and becoming a formidable warrior like her predecessor Toji Fushigoro.

* "Worth Her Weight In Gold" from the ''Film/PoliceAcademy'' [[WesternAnimation/PoliceAcademyTheAnimatedSeries cartoon]] gives us the aptly-named [[PunnyName Phoenix Amazona]], [[WorldsStrongestMan The World's Strongest]] [[GenderFlip Woman]]. Also pulls triple-duty as a GeniusBruiser (seeing as she's the mastermind ''and'' muscle behind a gold smuggling operation) and StatuesqueStunner. [[EvilIsSexy Oh, and she's a criminal.]] In fact, Amazona, knowing that the cops are on her tail, [[FemmeFatale actually invokes her appeal]] to string along the cowardly and smitten-at-first-sight Carl Sweetchuck, flirting with him (including addressing him by pet names and showing up for a "date" in [[ShowSomeLeg a slinky]] {{purple|IsPowerful}} dress) and sending him on errands to unknowingly do the dirty work for her as she tries to cover her tracks.
