The Damsel in Distress and/or Dude is sitting in their cell with head in hands, or hanging by a thread from a cliff, when suddenly, the door is broken down, or a head peeps over the cliff edge. Joy turns to terror as he or she realizes it's The Dragon (who unbeknownst to them has made a Heel–Face Turn), an Eldritch Abomination, Fluffy the Terrible, a Killer Robot... and so on. Usually, it'll only be temporary until someone fills the rescuee in on current events, although it may lead to Complaining About Rescues They Don't Like. Sometimes it'll turn out they actually are in worse danger now such as with a Villainous Rescue or Destructive Savior. A Dark Messiah can be this on a global scale. See also Horrifying Hero and Terror Hero who tend to cause this reaction even when being 100% good. Compare Unwanted Rescue and Embarrassing Rescue. |

Terminator: In The Terminator, Sarah Connor is understandably freaked out when a guy pulls out a sawed-off shotgun in the Tech Noir and starts shooting. It's only after the bullets have stopped and he's hauled her outside that he explains that he was saving her from the hulking dude he shot. In Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Sarah's in the middle of escaping the institution holding her when that same hulking dude steps out of the elevator and approaches her. She remembers how impossible it was to kill last time, and right now she has no weapons capable of stopping him. She's trapped between the hospital guards and it, until it knocks out the guards, holds out its hand to her, and says "Come with Me If You Want to Live". And then her son shows up and vouches for it. |

Wonder Woman (1987): Ares rescues Cassie and Ferdinand from the furies, which they are understandably unsettled by. His rescue of the two and Diana from the recently unhinged Hades horrifies them even further since he captures them and his words make it sound like he's going to murder them, though Diana knows exactly what his carefully chosen words imply and is more resigned to him rescuing them by murdering Hades once she realizes her words can't get through to Hades. | |

Tenchi Muyo! GXP: Protagonist Seina is only rescued from the Space Pirate Tarant Shank (Knight of Cerebusnote you'd think, anyway) by the Betty of his Love Dodecahedron, Kiriko — covered in the blood of every mook between her and Seina. His first reaction is terror — which upsets her, and Seina spends most of his screentime in the rest of the episode upset at himself for being scared of his childhood friend/crush when she'd just saved his life. | |

In an episode of Street Fighter, Blanka rescues a drowning Japanese businessman. Upon seeing his savior, the man yells "Kaibutsu!" ("Monster!") and flees. This is part of Blanka's ongoing characterization of identity struggle caused by his forced mutation (the cartoon draws from the plot of the Street Fighter film). | |

The Night Unfurls: Kyril is a lean man in dark attire, has a saw-cleaver thing as a weapon, and a fearsome reputation. To his rescuees, he looks less like a saviour and more like a monster unleashed upon other monsters. The fact that Kyril's prey tend to be killed in a messy way further exacerbates this. Hugh's reaction when Kyril saves him and Sanakan by staring Shamuhaza to an agonising death. He is very lucky that he is not in the vicinity of his master's eldritch power. Lampshaded by Sanakan during Chapter 6 of the original, when she takes out some hobgoblins trying to smoke out a nun guarding children in a hut. She notes that, from the look of fear the nun gave her, she probably looked menacing when swinging a large hammer that has a sword as its haft. Grace is spooked after she is saved from three traitorous guardsmen thanks to Evetta having two of them stop breathing and the other maimed due to her Mind over Matter. |

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: In "Ghosts of Illyria", Pike and Spock are trapped in a building on a deserted space colony, threatened by a violent "ion storm". When plasma creatures living in the storm try to force their way into the building, they see this as another threat. However, when the storm and the creatures break through, the creatures huddle around the two of them, shielding them from the storm and saving their lives. It's strongly implied that the plasma creatures are the mutated survivors of the missing colony. | |

In Origins, averted and played straight with the same character. The first time, despite previous actions the heroes are more than willing to accept assistance from someone who had been terrorizing them for the better part of a year due to the stakes and an attitude adjustment. The second time, the character's previous actions are recalled and cause even a Badass in Distress to wonder why this individual would want to save them. However, they are called out on this due to being unaware of a Heel–Face Turn. | |

In Overlord, Momonga becomes this for the people of Carne Village, the first natives he encounters after coming to a new world. He discovers a small army is threatening to wipe out a defenseless village, and decides on a whim to come to their rescue, partly to test his strength. In his old world, he encountered some Fantastic Racism due to being a skeletal lich, but in this new world, the undead are rare, always malevolent, often mindless killing machines. When he first shows up, he saves a pair of village girls by effortlessly slaughtering the enemy soldiers that had attacked them. When he offers a healing potion to the injured girl, she doesn't trust him at all. Afterward, Momonga puts on a mask and hides the fact that he himself is undead, but when he turns one of the dead soldiers into an undead death knight and sends it to deal with the rest of the soldiers and save the village, the ensuing massacre is terrifying to the soldiers and the village. | |

In Resident Evil 4, Ashley attacks Leon when he first comes through the door. He's actually a fairly friendly-looking guy, but he's a heavily armed stranger who comes in the door with his gun drawn, isn't dressed like a cop or a government agent, and immediately calls her by name. Not to mention that a former American agent was involved in her kidnapping, though she may or may not be aware of it. Understandably, she assumes Leon is with her kidnappers. | |

Venom: Eddie Brock's attempts at being a "lethal protector" are frequently complicated by the fact that — as a hulking pitch-black monster with huge claws and fangs plus bad Mood-Swinger tendencies — he terrifies the innocents he wants to protect as much as the criminals he kills. He's particularly haunted and upset by one incident where he rescued a child from danger, only to later learn that the poor girl was traumatized for life… not by the dangerous situation she was in, but by him. Flash Thompson averts this for the most part, as he's far more mentally stable and composed then Eddie; resultantly, his default Venom form is more like "black ops Spider-Man" and he can engage with endangered innocents much more effectively. But during particularly stressful moments, he can lose control of the symbiote and succumb to its more violent urges, taking on the classic scary-ass Venom form and attitude. He learns of this problem on his first mission as Venom when a carelessly thrown grenade hits his Trauma Button by triggering memories of losing his legs, causing him to transform in a rage-and-terror-fueled panic attack and horrifically slaughter every terrorist in the building and traumatize the hostage he was meant to rescue. |

Batman Beyond: In "Heroes", the hero Magma terrifies a little girl when he rescues her from kidnappers. In "Unmasked", Batman tries to pull a small child out of a burning building, but the boy keeps crawling away, thinking he's some kind of monster. In order to get the boy to take his hand, Batman removes his mask to show that he's human. Unfortunately, this results in an evil organization trying to kidnap the boy in order to find out Batman's true identity. |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: At one point, while drifting around the Earth Kingdom in Season 2, Zuko defends a poor village from the "soldiers" (re: gang of thugs left behind after the army left to fight in the war) who have been "protecting" (re: bullying and robbing) them and saves a young boy they kidnapped. The townspeople cheer him on until he's forced to Firebend during the fight and reveals his true identity as Prince of the Fire Nation. They stand with Torches and Pitchforks at the ready as they watch him leave, and when Zuko tries to give the boy back the knife Zuko gave him earlier, the boy and his mother are both terrified of him. | |

In Mass Effect 2, if spared in the first game, Rana Thanoptis has this reaction to discovering that Shepard was the person shooting their way through the Blue Suns on Korlus. After thanking them for the rescue, she states her intention to leave as quickly as possible, since she was forced to outrun a nuclear explosion the last time they met. Shepard's initial reaction to Legion, after realizing that a Geth not only sniped the Husk that was about to attack them, but more importantly, is able to speak and knows who they are. |

Forgotten Realms: In Wyvern's Spur, an old adventurer told the stories of Cole Wyvernspur. One of the stories was about the carpenter's daughter who refused the mad red wizard and then was kidnapped and imprisoned by him. Cole who jumped to the rescue "looked so fierce when he arrived that Bette mistook him for one of Yawataht's minions and smacked him on the head with a hammer". In another Cole entered a hydra's lair unarmed and when he left a hour later, the monster was "everywhere" — in pieces. He was turned into a big wyvern. | |

BioShock In first BioShock, rescuing a Little Sister involves first killing her Big Daddy guardian and then finding her where she's trying to hide from you in absolute terror. In BioShock Infinite, Elizabeth is initially terrified by the sight of the heavily armed Booker, an understandable reaction given that she'd been locked alone in her tower for her entire life and that he'd just crashed through the ceiling. After accepting his offer to help her escape, her ease turns right back to terror again, after witnessing how brutally effective Booker is at killing people. |

Chainsaw Man: In his true form as the Hero of Hell, Pochita of was a terrifying figure who often killed the very devils who called out to him for help. Turns out having chainsaws for arms makes hugging people very difficult. When Quanxi thwarts a mass killing at a mall by the other Weapons working for the Chainsaw Man Church, she succeeds so well that she appears to onlookers to have just murdered three people out of the blue. The child who would have been the first victim otherwise even freezes in fear looking at Quanxi and she weakly growls at him so he'll go away. |

This does not help him in the comic "Mask Off" when he's trying to get a little girl to leave a building that's about to explode and she can't trust him due to his looks. It's only when he removes his mask that she trusts him. | |

Done a lot in One Piece. We have Monster Point Chopper in the Enies Lobby arc, inadvertently saving many of his True Companions while also trying to kill them. Aokiji saves Robin in her backstory, while killing his own ally right in front of her. Crocodile gets Luffy out of Impel Down and — while that had a reason; he wanted out too — he later takes blows for Luffy and orders Mr. 1 to do the same as they attempt to rescue Ace. This is partially because he's done a... well, a "Heel Neutral Turn," and partly because Luffy just has that much charisma. | |

In Tsukimichi, when Makoto gets summoned to a fantasy world to help humanity in its war against the demons, the first time he tries to fight, it's to rescue a random woman from a giant wolf monster. When he was first summoned, Makoto had been told that his strength got boosted significantly upon coming to this new world, so he tries hitting the monster with a flying kick... and ends up tearing through it like it's made of wet paper. Naturally, the woman he saved is even more terrified of him than she was of the monster. | |

Unfortunately, the sight of a massive, red-skinned demon with wings and talons is enough to make anyone who see him terrified. Not helped by the fact that the demon can't tell a human from the other and takes the wrong woman. | |

Shadow and Bone: When Alina is attacked by a Fjerdan soldier who comes within inches of killing her, the Darkling saves her by using his shadow powers to bisect the man, spattering Alina with his blood. Alina is already afraid of the Darkling and is almost as scared of him as the man who attacked her. When she expresses horror at him being capable of slicing in half a man from several feet away, the Darkling snarkily asks if she'd preferred him to have used a sword. | |

Among the characters of the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fanfic The Shadow Wars is Claire Pie — a giant, invisible, eight-headed Fluffy Pony with tentacular tongues and dimensional Gate powers. She is quite good at rescuing Ponies. How does she normally accomplish this? By opening a temporary Gate to the distressed Pony's location, reaching through with a couple of tentacles, and dragging the Pony through. This can be frightening, especially if you don't know her, especially since she has trouble speaking in normal Pony hearing registers and is thus The Unintelligible save to those who know her very well. | |

When Jud wades in to save Shiloh from a flooding river, Shiloh actually tries to paddle away, preferring to take his chances with drowning rather than dealing with Jud again. Jud whistles, and thankfully Shiloh's abuse-enforced training to come in response gets him close enough to be saved. | |
