What Measure Is a Non-Cute?	comment	Humans, being as prejudiced as we are, tend to only like certain animals. Oh, how our dog smiles and plays! Oh, how our cat rolls on the rug asking for a tummy rub! Oh, how the hamster stuffs his chubby little cheeks! Oh, how pretty the Mute Swan is as he glides across the pond! Oh, how the Coelacanth... is a boring old fish. You may have noticed that only cute, cuddly, and cool animals are good guys while unpopular or unattractive animals are brought in to be the Designated Villains. This usually plays into the "Carnivores are Mean" subtrope of Carnivore Confusion. Wolves were cast as baddies for centuries. Owls and hawks and corvids basically exist to drop down on our cuter protagonists from above. Wasps and termites are mini villains. Rats and Weasels are the go-to pocket-sized villains. Octopuses and squid are more or less discount Krakens. Friendly sharks pretty much exist only as a subversion. Don't even ask about snakesnote Well, maybe you can about the non-venomous kinds, like garter snakes or pythons, but these are rare. The heroes, on the other hand, will be cute or cool animals like doggies and kitties and bunnies and duckies and turtles and froggies and ladybugs and bees and ants and monkeys and friendly playful dolphins and Reticulated Chipmunks and... You see where we're going with this right? Wolves and Foxes, and Lions and other big cats can be heroes as well because their babies are cute and thus remind people of puppies and kittens, and the adults look badass. All butterflies are marked "Cute", even those you won't like to see in your garden. Spiders and bats are marked "Mean" even though they usually don't bother humans at all and even devour lots of annoying and dangerous insects. And if you'll encounter an Antlion in the role of horrible predator, its adult form is not likely to appear in next scenes (it looks like a cute, pretty dragonfly). For any animals not in this short list, it's usually divided into one of these. Ugly - Predatory - Scavenging - Parasitic - Mean Cute - Fluffy - Herbivorous - Pacifistic - Nice Cool - Brave - Predatory - Badass - Heroic Some fiction goes even further, casting only cute, cuddly, and cool animals â€” ugly and unpopular animals tend to be non anthropomorphic, villainous, or outright absent. It should be noted that which animals get to be considered cute/cool or the opposite tends to vary by culture. For example, foxes are generally cute or roguish in America, mean in some parts of Europe and Magnificent Bastard types in others, magical tricksters in Japan, and Ax-Crazy evil in Korea. Cats are generally seen as bad and mean in the West (kittens being the obvious exception), but in other parts of the world such as Japan and the Middle East, cats are generally playful and cute animals, even if they are strays. Rats are portrayed as vermin in the western world, but are revered in India and are the first of twelve animals that represent the years on the Chinese Zodiac. Pigs are often outrightly dirty and greedy in western culture as well as in Middle East, but tend to get more consideration in China, where they are part of the aforementioned Zodiac as well. Dogs, while seen as cute, heroic and lovable in the West (certain breeds notwithstanding), are reviled in the Middle East as filthy scavengers. Another factor may be the animal's size and/or place in human society. For example, both Mice and Rats can be cute, but they can get a bad rap because they're commonly household pests. Even then, the tiny Mice are likely to be portrayed more positively than the larger Rats. Consequently; if a cat is chasing a mouse, the cat is often portrayed as the villain, but a cat chasing a rat is usually the hero. Whatever the case may be, if you happen to think any of the animals in the "Designated Villains" list are cute and/or cool, you are a weirdo in the eyes of the mainstream. It is worth noting that there are some exceptions to this rule, because perceived slyness and/or cunning are often important determining factors along with cuteness. Rats and weasels, for example, are almost always portrayed as mean and/or evil, even though they are small and fuzzy. However, mice, who appear nice or mostly harmless quite a bit, are commonly thought to be unable to think their way out of a wet paper bag. For this reason, though cats are indisputably adorable, they are often seen as mean or a villain's pet in Western media. This trope is pervasive enough that simply associating a human character with a certain animal or, in fantasy and science fiction, giving him the features of an animal can immediately peg them as good or bad. In extreme cases, this can start to look like the animal equivalent of Fantastic Racism. This trope is Truth in Television and a major problem in wildlife preservation, with animals that appeal to humans termed charismatic megafauna, like the panda for example. It doesn't matter if, like the aforementioned Coelacanth, you've survived damn near everything else the world can throw at you; if you aren't generally thought of as cute by most people, you're in serious trouble. Few people really care about ugly or unpopular animals, regardless of their ecological importance. The Coelacanth example can also lead us towards the subtrope Prehistoric Monster, about the whole extinct animal ensemble, which often receives in media the same treatment as modern-day "non-cutes" or even worse. The Uncanny Valley is somewhat related, as it was born from the scientific study of this trope. It is a supertrope of No Cartoon Fish. It often cross-pollinates with Beauty Equals Goodness, Animal Stereotypes, Carnivore Confusion, and What Measure Is a Non-Human?. See also Ugly Cute, Bat Out of Hell, Bug War, Ominous Owl, Reptiles Are Abhorrent, You Dirty Rat!, and Always Chaotic Evil. Contrast Dark Is Not Evil, Light Is Not Good, and Grotesque Cute. Also contrast Fluffy Tamer and Friend to Bugs for people with unconventional opinions on what animals qualify as cute or lovable. This trope is pervasive enough that the Killer Rabbit and some of the Bad Kitties exist to subvert it. Time period and location seem to affect public opinion of mustelids, as shown by the contrasting tropes Weasel Mascot and Wicked Weasel. One way to subvert audience expectations with this trope is to turn the moralities of the characters on their head, but not the characteristics of the animals themselves. For example, use animals normally seen as unpopular (such as horseshoe crabs), and retain their "undesirable" qualities while showing that they're good at heart. Conversely, use popular animals (like dogs) to display pleasurable features, while hiding their malevolent nature. Can overlap with Black Comedy Pet Death if "non-cutes" are killed for laughs. Related to Mammal Monsters Are More Heroic.

On the one hand, the heroes are ants and a circus troupe which includes a ladybug and a chubby caterpillar, while the main villain is an ugly, voracious locust. On the other hand, the circus bugs include in their ranks a praying mantis and a black widow spider; while both are considered cool-looking by some, neither are most people's idea of cute. The remaining grasshoppers are only Punch Clock Villains. But the biggest subversion of all is that the one creature the others fear the most is...a Goldfinch. Which from their perspective is the equivalent of the T. Rex in Jurassic Park. The sight of Hopper meeting his demise at the beaks of her fluffy little chicks gives new meaning to the phrase Grotesque Cute.

However indiscriminately the player acts, the deer-like Kelbi and the cat-like Felynes and Melynxes, as well as the little tiki-like Shakalakas, can't be killed. They'll be stunned, and then they'll leave. Despite having entries in Monster guides, Felynes are even friendly NPCs and seem to be on the same social standing as humans. The ones you meet out in the wild don't even bother you until you attack them. The Shakalakas and Melynxes attack on site, but the third generation has two friendly Shakalakas that join you and act as your party on single or two-player hunts.

One is an intelligent lemur race that is so cute that several of the human characters want to sleep with them. The other is an Always Chaotic Evil race that evolved from raptors, and engage in genocidal wars, violent slaughter, and collect the skulls of their enemies. The lemurs are, obviously, the more heroic ones.

And all but the last two pull a Heelâ€“Face Turn. Especially bad in the episode "Hatchery". The ship discovers a heavily damaged and abandoned Insectoid ship. In the most hardened part of the ship is their hatchery with ~30 soon to be hatching insectoid offspring. Archer is shown to be caring for their fate and trying to save their hatchery from failing. He gives a story about his great grandfather having to deal with a school during the war and saving the children inside the school at great personal cost. Everyone else on the ship looks at the Captain like he's nuts. In the end it turns out his paternal feelings were only due to his being infected by an enzyme the eggs gave off.

What Measure Is a Non-Cute? / int_22d74b2e	comment	Redwall has a heavy-handed combo of this trope and Carnivores Are Mean. At first glance, it appears as though all the heroes are herbivores and the villains are carnivores — but then you notice badgers and otters in the cast of heroes and figure out that, as usual, the heroes are all cute, cool, and popular animals and the villains are all unpopular and ugly animals (and still, no herbivores). The series goes on to get downright confusing on this point. You'd expect the owl to be a straight-up, bloodthirsty villain but... The badger is somewhat subverted when you imagine graphically what one of them does to their enemy. Subverted again in The Bellmaker which contained a searat who eventually reformed and remained friends with the Redwallers. He didn't live there, though... Then it looks like the good guys are animals that aren't minded around farms in England, and the bad guys are the creatures considered to be "vermin" (which they're actually referred to as in the Redwall series, just to drive the point home.) But then you remember the badgers and rabbits in the good guy's ranks. And technically mice and squirrels come under the heading of "vermin" in Real Life. It's confusing from the get-go. Stoats are part of Cluny's evil horde in the first novel. They look like this. And then there's the cats. Cats are generally accepted as "cute" in fiction, and they're about the only neutral species in the entire series, though the feline Big Bad of High Rhulain had severe facial disfigurement. The psychotic barbarian Wolverine cannibal. Here, "cannibal" is used to refer to eating other Talking Animals. Wolverines actually are as violent as that in real life, though not with any more genuine malicious intent than your average animal, but they look like teddy bears with fluffy tails. Reptiles, Amphibians, and (in the first two books) foxes are even worse than the Vermin. While foxes were shown to be disloyal to either side and played hem both up, cold-blooded animals, especially snakes, are portrayed as sapient monsters. There was a ferret Mook (or two, or three...) being maimed, killed, and possibly eaten by a Mute Swan somewhere in "Mossflower" (come to think of it, that darn bird spent a good portion of the book terrorizing the Goldfish Poop Gang, and gave the foxes Fortunata and Bane a run for their money.) And then there was that crazy, vermin-eating stork in "Martin the Warrior". He had a knack for crying out "I am the laaaawwwwww..." as he descended upon his prey. Needless to say, Martin and his cohorts were pretty darn worried that they could end up on his menu themselves while he was escorting them across his territory.

What Measure Is a Non-Cute? / int_27b0262b	comment	There has apparently been talk about banning goldfish as pets in San Francisco due to them often being bred in unethical conditions or something along those lines. Whether you agree with the ban or not, many people's reactions have been telling of this trope. The worst comments claimed that they can't even feel pain, which has been scientifically proven wrong (and if it wasn't, why not give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they can?). Goldfish are generally often treated badly, for example kept in far too small bowls, again probably due to this trope. It's hard to make people understand that not only do they in fact have memories longer than 3 seconds (as busted by the MythBusters among others), they are actually rather smart and can learn tricks and even recognize humans by voice.

It turns out the author just made up the previous version of the Locust Court and it's actually the domain of Surolam, where creatures can gain respite from the harsh consequences of knowledge of miracles. It's called the Locust Court because it is constantly filled with insects, the only non-miraculous beings who can remember their time spent within.

What Measure Is a Non-Cute? / int_2f3aa7ef	comment	My Little Pony, surprisingly enough, played with this trope quite a bit: The first episode featured a frightening gargoyle-like guy who turned out to be an unwilling slave to the Big Bad and was in actuality a genuinely nice person. In The Movie, the Grundles are ugly little trolls whose appearance is initially frightening to our heroes, but they are kindly and helpful and are really just upset about the fate of their Doomed Hometown. The TV series gives us the episode "Fugitive Flowers". In it, Hippie-Chick Pony Posey is (way too) easily convinced by a group of cute little talking flowers that the giant, scary crab monsters following them are evil. Then the talking flowers soon reveal their terrifying true forms and wreak havoc on the Ponyland ecosystem - they're gigantic, invasive weeds that happen to look pretty. The crab monsters were actually Proud Warrior Race Guys hoping to stop them. Also, the Ponies being so quick to distrust the crab monsters is a little more explainable when one remembers that A: they introduce themselves by ripping apart everything in sight (making for a bad first impression) and B: they won't stop and explain themselves, and C: they call themselves "Crabnasties". That's not exactly the sort of name to inspire confidence in their fundamental benevolence. My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: The episode "Swarm of the Century" has Fluttershy finding an adorable bug in the forest and taking it home. The other ponies coo over its cuteness (minus Pinkie Pie, who seems to know what it is, but fails to share her apparent knowledge with anyone), despite the fact that it has suddenly become three bugs. All too soon, the ponies realize that these bugs not only multiply rapidly, but also eat everything in sight and create mayhem and destruction wherever they go. By episode's end, they are over their initial enamor. This trope is frequently subverted with Fluttershy, who is truly a Friend to All Living Things. She has absolutely no problem with any animal, including mythical creatures like a Manticore (except adult dragons, which she was terrified of, but she got over that), as well as normal animals not usually considered cute, such as vultures, snakes and bats. While she's usually accompanied by a rabbit named Angel, he's generally a Silent Snarker at his best. As the series has gone on it has begun to subvert this frequently. Originally the cute ponies were the good ones and the villains were sinister in appearance like Nightmare Moon and Discord. Now we have cute ponies as villains like the Flim-Flam Brothers and Doctor Caballeron, and both Nightmare Moon and Discord have since become good guys with the latter keeping his sinister appearance. Starlight Glimmer, The Season 5 Premiere villain, despite being an otherwise normal unicorn with one nasty spell in her arsenal is debatably the scariest villain the series has produced yet. Inverted in "Bats!", where Applejack and Fluttershy argue over the fate of some vampire fruit bats that are a threat to Sweet Apple Acres. During their song cue when Applejack is singing they look like the post-transformation mogwais from Gremlins and when Fluttershy describes them they look quite fluffy and cute, showing that Applejack sees them as monstrous because of the threat they pose while Fluttershy sees them as cute because she sympathizes with them.

What Measure Is a Non-Cute? / int_301f27ff	comment	65: Most of the animals seem to be intentionally designed to be as nasty and vicious-looking as possible, with gaunt, emaciated frames, misaligned snaggletoothed jaws, uniformly black or dark grey hides, naked scaly skin for animals we know were actually heavily feathered, random spines and spikes jutting from their bodies, all carnivorous, frequently slobbering, and being ridiculously savage and bloodthirsty, routinely prioritizing killing the protagonists own their own survival. This makes it less likely for the audience to feel bad when Mills slaughters them by the dozens despite not actually being villainous.

Now notice how things like spiders, bees and centipedes get crushed, mutilated, or turned to pulp. If you consider that they all have at least some sapience since they can form contracts, then the Jiraya/Pain fight where the former snaps all the joints of the latter's giant crab is downright cringe-worthy. This is actually not true for all summons. One of Tsunade's most prominent is a giant acid-spitting slug that splits off and forms smaller slugs Asteroids Monster style yet is apparently one of the quietest and most docile summons compared to Jiraiya's toad, Gamabunta, and Orochimaru's snake, Manda. In addition Anko, who was one of Orochimaru's test subjects, can also summon snakes which she used to help the protagonists a few times, and Temari once summoned a giant scythe carrying weasel to defeat one of Orochimaru's minions. It's not necessarily about protagonist vs. antagonist. Aside from Katsuyu, invertebrate summons are treated like expendable Mooks that can (and do) get graphically slaughtered on-screen. And the snakes definitely get injured a lot more severely than the mammals and cute toads.

However enemy dice which Lexx kills/almost kills show up they tend to be big scary mute reptilian creatures. Remember that the dice are all considerably smarter than normal animals, and that they have no more choice about fighting than the main character. Turns out it's a subversion: dice, like Pokemon, get uglier and nastier-looking as they evolve. Lexx tends to get pitted against the toughest dice in the game, but his own dice are starting to look pretty hardened as well. (Granted, the dice we've seen in cute forms are the ones who've stayed nice as they've evolved, but that can just as easily be credited to the fact that Lexx is much less abusive than most masters.)

When Gaia sends the rings to the five kids, each of them gets a short scene illustrating their affinity with their element. Ma-Ti's Heart is demonstrated by him saving a trapped monkey from... being eaten by some sort of large wild cat, sending the message that carnivores don't count as Gaia's creatures. A bit of a Broken Aesop when watched with an adult view of ecology. It goes beyond that; while the show is meant to teach kids about respecting animals, how do we instantly know Hoggish Greedly and Verminous Skumm are bad?

What Measure Is a Non-Cute? / int_57965cef	comment	Done cleverly in Captain Marvel (2019): even a viewer who knows nothing about the villainous role the Skrulls have played in the comics for years would naturally assume that the scary-looking, Orc-like, shapeshifting aliens who dress in black are the bad guys, which makes it a genuine shock to learn that it's actually the Kree.

Most of them tend to be violent barbarians who run around pillaging, raping, and occasionally eating the humans they come across. Most notable in this category are the Wolfmen of the North and Raksi's baby-eating Apemen. However, the Hawkmen and Snakemen of Halta and the Sharkmen and Squidmen of Luthe are perfectly civilized people. Granted, however, that the little sharkgirl in the comic preceding the Luthe chapter of Compass of Terrestrial Directions: West was quite adorable.

What Measure Is a Non-Cute? / int_5e17f6cd	comment	The Animals of Farthing Wood subverts this for its first two seasons with non-cute animals as heroes (Weasel, Toad) and a semi-realistic art style that neutralised the animals' features- although arguably if you were a bad animal not part of the band of Farthing Wood friends, you were a bloodthirsty predator that didn't talk. Similarly, it was a-okay for the owls and foxes to eat mice, rats, etc- as long as they were non-talking, non-Farthing wood mice. Then in the third season...whoa. A bunch of rats were introduced to the story, and since they were all evil, they all had over the top, cartoony evil features (Claws! Fangs! Glowing pink eyes!) that didn't fit at all with the rest of the animation. Even then it is played with since one of said cartoonish rats defects to the hero side.

What Measure Is a Non-Cute? / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons does this quite a bit. Werewolves and wererats are Always Chaotic Evil and Always Lawful Evil respectively while werebears are Always Lawful Good and werecats are always neutral. Then there are anthropomorphic Hyenas, also known as gnolls, which are...well...they have a penchant for enslaving other humanoids, and that's when they're not eating them (and they have a knack for eating their slaves sooner or later.) Gnolls just do it because they're sadistic - the Monster Manual outright states that "they enjoy intelligent prey because they scream more." Depending on the source, gnolls themselves subvert this trope. They're never described as 'good' but they can certainly have more noble aspects to them. The origin story is that Yeenoghu, their demon god fed a pack of demons to mortal hyenas and so gnolls have the two sides to them...demon and hyena. Monsters and Hunters. Blink Dogs are good monsters with a built in ability like the blink spell, while their evil counterparts (displacer beasts) resemble emaciated, tentacled panthers. There's even a race of always neutral good celestials that are essentially anthropomorphic animals. There are lion people, wolf people, horse people, bird people, mouse people, and bear people among the celestials. There's also an anthromorphic dog type of celestials, the Hound Archons, who are Always Lawful Good. Most insect monsters favor evil over good — the exception being Formians, who are always lawful neutral (though in AD&D2 Planescape, before they replaced now-corrupted Modrons, were lawful neutral/good) instead and Thri-Kreen, if they aren't removed again) There are a few exceptions. Naga (snakelike creatures) has good, neutral and evil variants, and lizardfolk are generally viewed as neutral, if usually primitive and hostile to PCs. Lizardfolk are a little like the gnolls in terms of being vicious and sometimes predatory, but lizardfolk only do it if they need to survive - survival is their top priority, actually, and they don't have any other agendas (well, in most cases. Some lizardfolk can be downright vile.) Dragonborn (a PCs Lizard Folk) are Always Lawful Good Proud Warrior Race Guys and are the meanest looking of the PC races. As for the eponymous dragons, it's an interesting variation. The metallics are always good, and tend to look noble and/or wise. The chromatics are always evil and tend to look fierce and, subjectively ugly. in 4th Edition this overlaps with Designated Hero, since metallic dragons are described as equally brutal, greedy, self-centered, dictatorial and arrogant as chromatic dragons, and about the Tiamat-Bahamut conflict they are even more cruel and racist than the chromatic ones. yes, a chromatic dragon would kill a metallic one at sight, but metallic dragons enjoy not just killing chromatic ones(even wyrmlings aren't spared!), but mafia-style intimidating and forcing them into betraying their own kin too. why they are described as 'good'? because they're slightly more benevolent to humanoids. 3+ ed. includes it in the game mechanics. See monster types: "Magical beasts usually have supernatural or extraordinary abilities, but sometimes are merely bizarre in appearance or habits." while "An aberration has a bizarre anatomy, strange abilities, an alien mindset, or any combination of the three." If the two looks synonymous, well...and both see in the darkness. What's the difference? Rule of thumb: if it's "cute", it's a Magical Beast, if not, it's an Aberration. Lords of Madness, later in the line, took some steps towards codifying what qualifies as an "aberration", specifically qualifying them as having unnatural origins rather than merely exotic characteristics. Several prominent aberration species received expanded explanation that qualified their otherworldly, alien, or unnatural makeup. Another defining distinction is their lack of an ecosystem role (providing Chuuls' lack of natural predators as one example).

The staff includes a warthog, a chameleon, a goldfish, a baboon, a pixie frog and an elephant, all of whom have personalities that vary wildly with their appearances; the snake is friendly, helpful and a member of the main cast (one notable episode had him apparently fighting with a mongoose, only to be revealed that they were just playing tag); the (spider) monkey is the resident Jerk with a Heart of Gold; and the human, instead of being a bastard, is just trying to survive amongst the insanity.

Tellingly, the puppies become vicious, unhuggable Rottweiler types as they become more indoctrinated to Napoleon the pig's side. And Moses the raven is ambiguous. As far as the pigs, even the implicitly cute little Snowball was not as okay as he seemed; during the turning point of the novel (when the pigs claimed the apples and milk for themselves), even Snowball's own greed was apparent, as this was one of the few issues that both he and Napoleon could agree upon. The book itself says that the pigs were chosen as the leaders because they're the smartest animals on the farm, which is Truth in Television. Symbolically, they were also most likely chosen for their association with greed.

What Measure Is a Non-Cute? / int_81692f99	comment	Uncomfortably applied in Star Trek, where you'd think they'd know better. Some episodes subvert this, however. Star Trek: Enterprise: They introduce the Xindi, a planet made up of five different races: a humanoid race (who looked very human), a sloth-like race (who looked mostly human), a dolphin-like race, an insect-like race, and a lizard-like race. And all but the last two pull a Heelâ€“Face Turn. Especially bad in the episode "Hatchery". The ship discovers a heavily damaged and abandoned Insectoid ship. In the most hardened part of the ship is their hatchery with ~30 soon to be hatching insectoid offspring. Archer is shown to be caring for their fate and trying to save their hatchery from failing. He gives a story about his great grandfather having to deal with a school during the war and saving the children inside the school at great personal cost. Everyone else on the ship looks at the Captain like he's nuts. In the end it turns out his paternal feelings were only due to his being infected by an enzyme the eggs gave off. Subverted in the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Nemesis" where Chakotay is caught in a war between human-looking aliens and Predator Pastiche aliens. The human ones have a poetic type of speech, fight for their families and home, and are True Companions, and the Predator ones commit rape, genocide, and desecrate the dead For the Evulz. It's later revealed that he's in a simulation being brainwashed by human-looking aliens, and nothing he's experienced is real. He's ultimately rescued by the Predator-looking ones, who deny the crimes they are accused and accuse the human-looking ones of the same atrocities. Star Trek: The Original Series: This was the lesson in the episode "Devil in the Dark": Miners are being attacked by a hideous "monster" that looks like a big, rocky blob and secretes acid. They want to kill the creature, but Kirk realizes she's just protecting her eggs, and refuses to let them. In "The Trouble with Tribbles", whose title creatures do nothing except eat food, reproduce — and look cute. Near the end of the episode, Kirk is horrified at the possibility that Scotty beamed them out into space. Averted in "Arena", where Kirk spares the repulsive-looking Gorn, despite its brutal attack on a Federation outpost, after realizing that the Gorn was merely giving in to base instincts after what it perceived as an attack on its people, no different from Kirk's own rash initial reaction to finding out about the massacre.

What Measure Is a Non-Cute? / int_8258e260	comment	The Koopa Troopas of the Mario games have become increasingly more anthropomorphized as the series has gone on. They started out as slightly cartoony four-legged turtles that you couldn't care less about killing off. As the series has gone on, their appearance has changed. They were given the ability to walk on two legs in Super Mario World, and one was made a playable character in Super Mario Kart (though he was bumped off by then newcomer Wario until the more recent entries in the series). The current character design for Koopa Troopa (and its winged brethren, Paratroopa) is now on a level of cuteness rivaling Yoshi. Nintendo has noted this, and Troopas hardly ever appear as enemies anymore, and when they do they're either in short supply (like in Super Mario 64 or Super Mario Galaxy) or they're usually given some sort of accessory that lowers their cuteness factor, such as the spiked armband and pointy sunglasses wearing variants of the Paper Mario series (there all Koopas with sunglasses are evil and those without are friendly NPCs. At a certain point in Chapter 3 a normal Koopa gets brainwashed by the villains and suddenly wears sunglasses). They also make frequent appearances in spinoff games either as playable characters or harmless NPCs. Now contrast this with the Goombas, who've hardly had any major design changes, usually require accessories to make them cuter in the few games where they exist as an ally, have only been in the RPGs and Mario Baseball games as playable characters, and are the most common enemy type even in the latest games.

What Measure Is a Non-Cute? / int_83d41855	comment	Figures heavily in Gargoyles, where the eponymous species was nearly hunted to extinction because of their monstrous appearance. Most of the gargoyle-friendly humans don't mind and, indeed, some fans of the show find them rather cute. Goliath — if you can get past the wings, fangs, horns, and talons — could be seen as downright handsome. (And let's face it, any character with Keith David's voice is going to have less trouble with the ladies than he might otherwise.) Humorously subverted in one episode, where Elisa (the lead human) is turned into a gargoyle herself. Goliath admits that he never realized she was so beautiful, and it is implied that gargoyles find humans just as physically unattractive as humans find gargoyles. In the same episode, Elisa was just short of being all over Goliath in the few moments when they were both humans. Although they were already close friends beforehand, it seems that seeing each other as the same species kick-started it into an attraction. As well, the later seasons/comic series makes it pretty explicit that it's something both sides can get over. In the show, from their globe-wandering on, the two of them display as much sexual frustration about their relationship hurdles as you could get away with in a Disney show. The comic rather implies that the frustration part may be a thing of the past, as Elisa dons a dress that could only be called "boobtastic" (though not really Stripperiffic) in preparation for a night out with Goliath that she muses should be "quite the hot time". In the Halloween episode she was dressed as Belle. Because of his pterosaur-like features (his clawed wings and, more obviously, his humongous beak), Brooklyn is sometimes treated as the ugliest in the show, especially by humans who get outright scared. Being horned and red doesn't help. Then we have Demona, who evokes some outright Satanic imagery (her name is Demona, for one), and yet is drawn in such a way as to evoke every fanservice trope imaginable from Stripperiffic and Bare Midriffs Are Feminine, to Leg Focus and so on. Evil is sexy even if you're a giant lizard-bat-thing.

But compared to its sequel Terror on Rannoch-3, which is described as Darker and Edgier and whose cover shows a glamourized "roach" (a bug-eyed vampiresque humanoid) screaming in fear, the gung-ho attitude to killing the comparatively cuter cockroaches makes this an inversion.note Unlike the games, the episode they're referencing leans more into What Measure Is a Non-Human?.

Sir Humphrey tricked them into thinking that the badgers had left, and the only animals that would be displaced would be a colony of rats, and the protests ceased.

The thing is, Rufus is drawn in an overly cute and cuddly Disney manner rather than anything resembling a real Naked Mole Rat. Additionally, Rufus started out as a pretty ugly Naked Mole Rat baby. This would make one guess that it was Ron's wonderful friendship with him that turned him cute...Or his Bueno Nacho Junk-Food diet.

What Measure Is a Non-Cute? / int_90c73dda	comment	Subverted in Animorphs — the Hork-Bajir are enormous lizard people with natural blades on their limbs, and act as shock troops for the invading Yeerk army. When the lead characters are told that they "are to be pitied" upon first seeing with them, this advice is met with puzzlement and immediately dismissed. However, it soon becomes apparent that the Hork-Bajir are naturally gentle, nonviolent herbivores; they use their blades only for stripping off the tree bark they eat.note A prequel novel involves one of them being attacked by a controller and being unable to realize what is happening to him, because he is completely unfamiliar with violence. The main cast are surprised at this revelation, and Tobias is ashamed at the more vicious and destructive nature of humans. After the main cast assists in freeing some Hork-Bajir from Yeerk control and setting up a free settlement, they help (usually in non-combat ways) to fight the invaders. Generally played straight with the Yeerks. Lampshaded by Visser One: "Snails, slugs, leeches...the comparisons are never endearing." Even then, the Yeerk Empire might be evil, but the average yeerk is not necessarily so. Played straight with the Taxxons, mostly. The insatiable hunger doesn't help them any... Subverted later on in the series though, when it's revealed that the Taxxons are intelligent beings that made a deal with the Yeerks in the hopes that the Yeerks would be able to control their hunger. Subverted with the Andalites as well. They are a race typically described as deer-like centaurs that have great respect for nature and honor. And they are so xenophobic and intolerant of the handicapped, it would make many types of Elves say Screw You, Elves!. Goes without saying that this is a series where The Empire is a representative Democracy that hides their head of state in part to prevent a Cult of Personality and the Designated Hero race seems to be governed by the Military Hierarchy. As a whole, Animorphs relished in subverting Always Chaotic Evil... but they also through out Always Lawful Good.

In truth, Shrek has a good heart, and this behavior is really because he just wants to be left alone. He explains that he'd be much happier if the stereotype didn't exist in the first place. The trope is then further played with by Fiona, who is the conventional vision of beauty...but in her "cursed" ogress form Shrek finds her beautiful, and she's happy to stay that way because he loves her and thinks she's beautiful no matter how she looks. (And she is still pretty cute after her transformation.)

While the allegiances are kept the same, the slovenly human-like Urpneys are Punch Clock Villain Protagonists while the cutesy bunny-like Noops are Hero Antagonists. Zordrak on the other hand, is as hideous and as evil as they come. Still played straight to a erroneous degree in the sense that the Land of Dream was still conveyed as a saccharine borderline embodiment of good, despite often being far more vindictive and self righteous than the uglier but pragmatic Urpneys (who were almost always Harmless Villains Just Following Orders) and often taking their retaliations far beyond self defense for the sake of sadistic fun. The narrative still vigorously conveys the heroes as righteous and properly provoked and the Urpneys deserving whatever they dish them, with all of a couple of instances the Noops were even vaguely depicted as taking things too far.

What Measure Is a Non-Cute? / int_9a25d7a3	comment	Toho manages to subvert this with the film Godzilla vs. Destoroyah. Godzilla himself can rarely be considered "cute", but what he goes through in the movie turns him into a major Woobie (Most notably, there's the moment when he sees his own son being brutally murdered by Destoroyah. Made worse by the fact that Godzilla himself is dying and that Destoroyah decides to torment the mourning kaiju by curling his tail around his throat and dragging him around...and it doesn't hurt that the film itself is a major Tear Jerker. The original 1954 film Gojira also manages to subvert this. Godzilla appears terrifying and spends the film destroying Tokyo and killing thousands (if not millions) of people. However, he's also portrayed as a Non-Malicious Monster and Tragic Villain who is shown to be just as much a victim of the atomic bomb as the Japanese were.

They want to kill the creature, but Kirk realizes she's just protecting her eggs, and refuses to let them. In "The Trouble with Tribbles", whose title creatures do nothing except eat food, reproduce — and look cute. Near the end of the episode, Kirk is horrified at the possibility that Scotty beamed them out into space. Averted in "Arena", where Kirk spares the repulsive-looking Gorn, despite its brutal attack on a Federation outpost, after realizing that the Gorn was merely giving in to base instincts after what it perceived as an attack on its people, no different from Kirk's own rash initial reaction to finding out about the massacre.

The show concerns an interplanetary war between the Toads and various mammalian species. Now, it's not like this isn't typical for this trope, but consider this: it isn't just that "Toads are ugly so it's okay to antagonize them". The Toads' planet had been taken over by an evil computer which militarized their society and brainwashed the Toads into conquering other worlds. So now the other animals are fighting what are armies of brainwashed minions. Additionally, in an early episode, Al Negator tries to get a job on Bucky's ship, the Righteous Indignation. As he's a shifty-looking reptile, the crew is generally suspicious. But Captain Bucky O'Hare hires him anyway. The only one who distrusts him is Deadeye Duck, the ship's gunner. It looks as though the episode is aiming for a subversion of this trope, and Deadeye is being set up as the complainer. But then Al betrays the crew and steals classified information.

Early in the episode, the Wongs' urban developments threaten to eliminate a species of leech. Leela rescues one, which immediately starts attacking her and trying to drain her blood. She fights it off, nearly kills it, then resuscitates it before the cycle repeats itself. Eventually she ends up caging it, the apparent lesson being that just because an endangered species is ugly and hostile doesn't mean it should be exterminated. Then, mere minutes before the ending it turns out that this species of leech is the most recent manifestation of an Always Chaotic Evil race bent on exterminating other species. She does this in several other episodes, like the time she rescued Nibbler from an imploding planet and allowed him to eat all the other rescued animals with no repercussion, all because he was adorable. She hated Mr. Peppy, Fry's bone vampire, even though he was actually pretty nice. At least there was something apologetic in the fact that her will requests that her body be fed to the Cyclophage - a giant beast that only eats cyclopes.

As the general public see sharks as big scary killersnote Only around six people per year are killed by sharks; statistically you are more likely to be killed by a dog, cow, deer, or falling icicles, very few people outside of shark experts actually care. Fortunately, awareness on the plight of sharks is steadily growing: many nature documentaries are starting to highlight their importance in the ecosystem and play them off as cool and fascinating rather than vicious man-eaters, and the overfishing of sharks and shark finning is gaining widespread opposition. It's also noteworthy that the directors and producers of Jaws have expressed regret at contributing to the bad public image of sharks that played a part in their overhunting.

What Measure Is a Non-Cute? / int_b4edcc7b	comment	Subverted in the 1999 film Gamera 3: Awakening of Irys. In the film, Gamera has become rather fearsome-looking and has lost most (if not all) of his empathy towards humans to the point where he obsessively attacks the Gyaos (and kills them) without any regard to whether or not innocent people get hurt...and the JSDF decide that Gamera may be too big of a threat to keep alive. Likewise, a Heartwarming Orphan named Ayana finds an oddly adorable creature that she names "Irys" (after her late cat) and adopts it as her new "pet" stating that "both their families were killed by Gamera" (Ayana's family was killed by a Gyaos in a flashback to the first movie in the Heisei Trilogy). Turns out Irys is pure evil and is trying to manipulate Ayana's emotions so that it can merge with her and become powerful enough to kill Gamera and allow the Gyaos to wipe out all of humanity. Unlike its "weirdly adorable" baby form, Irys's adult-form can best be described as an Eldritch Abomination.

The one that turns out to actually be the good guy is, surprisingly, the frog alien. The true form of the titular â€œGolden Manâ€�, however, is even uglier than the frog alien.

If you can get past his lead-grey complexion, odd elbow protrusions, mismatched set of blood red and glowing gold eyes, and frighteningly huge size, he's really handsome. Indeed, he's the demigod Herakles from Greek myth, who was quite popular with the ladies and the guys. But he's not as pretty as the other manly warrior of the game, and except for a brief time in one scenario, he's always under a mental compulsion that reduces him to a constantly growling and bellowing monster. A pity, considering who they got to voice him in The Anime of the Game. Then again, he does have those moments with Ilya...

What Measure Is a Non-Cute? / int_bca72091	comment	Animal Crossing is a particularly egregious example of this. It has lots of cute fluffy animals, and their character type seems to be determined by just how cute the animal in question is (i.e. the kitten animal is a cute girly airhead type while the rockhopper penguin is a grumpy little fellow). Meanwhile, the Coelacanth only makes a cameo appearance as the most expensive fish you can fish up, and insects are only present to either be caught and added to your collection, or to be a nuisance. Of all the marine life that appear, only octopi (which tend to be seen as cute in media) get the villager treatment. No Cartoon Fish is in full effect for the rest, used only for catching and eating. Played with concerning Blathers. He'll enthusiastically tell you about anything you give him, no matter how non-cute we consider it, but he's terrified of insects. He gives butterflies a pass, though, due to how cute he finds their bellies. While the villagers themselves don't invoke this trope on each other, the players (especially the villager trading circuit) frequently indulge in it. "Cuter" animals like bunnies, dogs, and cats are highly desired for towns, while the "non-cute" species like frogs, gators and gorillas rank lower. Though even that is variable; if the villager is more on the Gonkish side, no matter how pleasant they are, then the player's perfectly free to bully and report them until they feel like moving out and bringing in a villager that matches the town's aesthetic. Even if they have the same personality, a Lazy villager like Beau (an orange deer with sleepy eyes) would generally be seen as endearingly lazy compared to, say, Prince (a frog with wide eyes, a 5-o'-clock shadow, and cream lips), who is generally treated as a Lazy Bum.

What Measure Is a Non-Cute? / int_bfef9cdb	comment	Welcome to Night Vale actually deconstructs this pretty brutally. The station's (and Cecil's) pet cat Khoshekh is consistently praised by Cecil as being cute and sweetly tempered. Note, the first time we hear what Khoshekh sounds like (his "I'm hungry" meow), it's something like the basilisk from Harry Potter overlayed with a growling lion, and most headcannons depict the cat as purple, sometimes unnaturally thin or mangy, rarely with superfluous eyes, and almost always with poisonous ridges protruding from its spine and bigger fangs than a house cat should have. Also he floats, and somehow gives birth to a litter of kittens. In episode 43, Cecil finds a little creature in the studio that looks like a Tribble, only with visible eyes and little nubs that approximate legs. Cecil has a standard reaction to the creature. The wham happens when the creature bites Cecil's leg, follows the injured radio host to the bathroom (where Khoshekh is stuck floating next to the sink) and then viciously mauls Khoshekh in front of Cecil. The Tribble-creature turns out to be a synthetic organism invented by Strex Corp. and given to Cecil "as a birthday present, because he loves animals so much", as explained to Cecil by one of their representatives minutes after he's just watched his "birthday present" almost murder his precious cat. It's also not Cecil's birthday...

This is the point; the manga especially challenges viewers by making the characters sympathetic and cute, but then you have to contrast this with the fact that they are living weapons. The dichotomy even begins to take its toll on their handlers after a while. A cyborg is a living creature with some mechanical parts, so they would look human regardless. Also, potentially dangerous things can still be cute. The fact that they could be really destructive doesn't mean it contradicts.

What Measure Is a Non-Cute? / int_c4282b71	comment	My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: The episode "Swarm of the Century" has Fluttershy finding an adorable bug in the forest and taking it home. The other ponies coo over its cuteness (minus Pinkie Pie, who seems to know what it is, but fails to share her apparent knowledge with anyone), despite the fact that it has suddenly become three bugs. All too soon, the ponies realize that these bugs not only multiply rapidly, but also eat everything in sight and create mayhem and destruction wherever they go. By episode's end, they are over their initial enamor. This trope is frequently subverted with Fluttershy, who is truly a Friend to All Living Things. She has absolutely no problem with any animal, including mythical creatures like a Manticore (except adult dragons, which she was terrified of, but she got over that), as well as normal animals not usually considered cute, such as vultures, snakes and bats. While she's usually accompanied by a rabbit named Angel, he's generally a Silent Snarker at his best. As the series has gone on it has begun to subvert this frequently. Originally the cute ponies were the good ones and the villains were sinister in appearance like Nightmare Moon and Discord. Now we have cute ponies as villains like the Flim-Flam Brothers and Doctor Caballeron, and both Nightmare Moon and Discord have since become good guys with the latter keeping his sinister appearance. Starlight Glimmer, The Season 5 Premiere villain, despite being an otherwise normal unicorn with one nasty spell in her arsenal is debatably the scariest villain the series has produced yet. Inverted in "Bats!", where Applejack and Fluttershy argue over the fate of some vampire fruit bats that are a threat to Sweet Apple Acres. During their song cue when Applejack is singing they look like the post-transformation mogwais from Gremlins and when Fluttershy describes them they look quite fluffy and cute, showing that Applejack sees them as monstrous because of the threat they pose while Fluttershy sees them as cute because she sympathizes with them.

However, it is ultimately subverted when Dug defeats the alpha male doberman and the rest immediately follow his lead. Only Alpha really comes off as evil; most of the other dogs are Punch Clock Villains who live for praise, treats, and the occasional game of fetch (presumably) from the Big Bad. More directly addressed in the short preceding Up, "Partly Cloudy", where a stork in charge of delivering sharks, alligators, porcupines, rams, and electric eels is getting tired of never getting any puppies or kitties.

The main characters are all bats, traditionally a creature humanity considers menacing. The divide between "good" and "evil" bats is at least somewhat racial — the villains are carnivorous False Vampire Bats, while the "good" bats are smaller, more conventionally cute ones. However, the villains are primarily marked not by their frightening appearances, but by their predatory habits and worship of an evil deity. The Big Fat Traitor is the vampire bat, by the way, it's straightened like an arrow in the cartoon.

Later on though, Ash got a Muk (essentially a live pile of sludge) and Charmander gradually changed into the big, scary — but badass — Charizard. Additionally, Team Rocket started a sort of running gag where they acquire increasingly cute PokÃ©mon in the newer seasons. It's also revealed that Ekans and Koffing aren't really evil (although it's stated that no species of PokÃ©mon is inherently evil). In "Island of the Giant PokÃ©mon" they are revealed to be Punch Clock Villains and bear no anger or malice towards Pikachu. The first PokÃ©mon Ash captures is a Caterpie. It does evolve soon, but in the meantime Misty gets to scream about it because she's afraid of bugs and thinks it's gross. Also, Ash later gets an adorable Gligar which evolves into Gliscor — which is a huge, demonic-looking, flying scorpion thing with fangs and batlike ears. It's affectionate and a little slow in the head. But then there's also the uncomfortable realization that Ash's team hardly ever get to evolve. Unless their adult form looks cool. Ash's rival Paul has some pretty scary PokÃ©mon on his team, all of them evolved. He eventually released the only one that didn't belong that he kept for a good amount of time...Ash ended up capturing it minutes later. The summer camp arc of the anime had a Dusknoir that tried to warn people about the evil ghost girl that was really trying to harm them, and getting beaten up for its trouble. It still chose to help, even putting itself at risk and clearing its name. You just want to take it with you and give it snacks. In PokÃ©mon: The Rise of Darkrai, Darkrai is blamed for destruction in the city, whereas it was Palkia that caused it and Darkrai tried to protect the town and the garden in which he lived. He goes as far as to sacrifice himself to prevent the effects of one of Palkia's Spacial Rends and Dialga's Roar of Time colliding. He gets better in the end.

What Measure Is a Non-Cute? / int_d9c602eb	comment	South Park: "Fun with Veal" revolves around the boys getting into a standoff with the FBI to stop a bunch of calves from being slaughtered. While the episode still mocks vegetarians —not eating meat causes Stan to start turning into a literal vagina— it surprisingly never calls attention to the fact that they're only going to such lengths to save the calves because they're considered cuter than adult cattle (which none of them particularly care about). The episode "Whale Whores" concerns Stan's attempts to stop the Japanese from killing dolphins and whales. In typical South Park fashion, it is revealed the Japanese believe those species are responsible for the atomic bombing. After Stan makes them think chickens and cows are the real culprits, the Japanese go after them. Everyone watches approvingly.

To the fish population of the Reef, Lenny the Shark is scary as a shark, but cuddly and safe when he disguises himself as a dolphin, which eat fish too, but are cute (This led to a few reviewers reading a stronger metaphor into it). Funny thing, is, the movie actually uses this, when Oscar tries to subvert I Have Your Wife by having Lenny fake eating his girlfriend. The "attack" appears to be just as quick and almost as savage as...well, a shark attack. The whole thing with dolphins is particularly disturbing considering certain aspects of real dolphin behavior.

What Measure Is a Non-Cute? / int_e3ed54c7	comment	Pretty Cure: The standard Monster of the Week in the series is a random object turned into a rampaging beast but there's also cases of animals and even people getting possessed. In those rare instances, the heroines use a special attack that purify the monster without harming the victim. The catch is this only happens if the possessed animal is of the cute sort, like the Mama Bear from Futari wa Pretty Cure or Inori's Big Friendly Dog Lucky from Fresh Pretty Cure!. But if they're ugly animals like insects or fishes, they simply get blasted at pointblank with whatever this season's Finishing Move is, regardless of the chances of that being fatal or not. Heck, this sometimes doesn't apply to humans as well: Vice-principal Kometsuki from Futari was transformed into a Zakenna in Episode 7 and still got Marble Screw'd. But again, it wasn't completely undeserved. Fresh Pretty Cure! officially adopted this trope when Eas/Setsuna had her Heelâ€“Face Turn. Both of her forms were equally good looking; instead of being killed off like most other female Pretty Cure villains, she's spared and converted to the side of good as Cure Passion.

Devon and Cornwall, a two-headed dragon duo who serve as comic relief, are drawn to look rather silly and harmless. A little comic relief chicken-thing is also silly-looking. A loyal falcon named Ayden has a round, sweet face, big soft eyes and cute fluttery movements. In contrast, the "evil" dragons are sharp-toothed, have squinty eyes, and look altogether more feral and the griffon henchman has another set of scary squinty eyes, a long crooked beak, bat ears, and a small head compared to his thick-maned neck — and the voice of Bronson Pinchot (we're not sure what to make of that last thing). The gryphon, though, at least was meant to be cuter than his original design, which was deemed "too frightening for little girls". He's also Affably Evil at most.

She's a pint-size Perky Goth raised by bugs, and nearly every episode involves her helping out some kind of "creepy-crawly" creature. There's one called Scorpophobia, where a horror movie about scorpions opens in Creepie's town and is invaded by scorpions that scare all the human moviegoers out; Creepie finds out not only that they're just there to see the movie (since "Scorpions haven't had a starring role in a movie for years") but that the queen scorpion in the movie itself turns out to be a good guy.

A bonus short on the DVD cheekily acknowledges the relationship between humans and rats throughout history. Although they do have a history of carrying fleas that spread disease, rats in and of themselves are actually pretty fastidious. Also mentioned in the DVD bonus short is the fact that the brown rats drove the Bubonic-Plague-carrying-flea-carrying black rats out and away from humans wherever they spread.

However, once it dies, you find out that NPC Tieve, the town's oracle, can actually talk to the spider; and she reacts about as the same as a girl her age would react to losing a beloved cat or dog. The spider itself was formerly a friendly guardian of the town, and the giant spiders have been allies of the humans up to that point. Heavily implied that it was only attacking because it was under the control of an enemy wizard. A later quest has you hunting for a giant spider egg for Tieve, that she can hatch and raise as a pet.

Even animal-loving Piemur calls his runnerbeast (= horse) "Stupid" and remarks on how ugly it is, presumably because it's neither as smart nor as glamorous as a dragon. Runnerbeasts are not necessarily horses, they merely serve the same purpose for that world and have only the most basic physical resemblance. Additionally the dragons resemble equines...and watch-whers, a close cousin of dragons and fire lizards, are considered the ugliest things in existence. But dolphins, normally considered "cute", are regarded as ugly, vicious predators for much of Pern's history.

What Measure Is a Non-Cute? / int_fb9c177d	comment	Transformers has played around with this in their animal-like characters: Generation 1 had the Dinobots and Insecticons. The Dinobots were rather brutish and anti-authoritarian, but generally good; after all they're Transforming Robot Dinosaurs! The Insecticons, however, were more devious and evil than Megatron and Starscream combined. In Beast Wars, the majority of the Maximals were mammals or birds, or fusions of the two. Dinobot and Blackarachnia subvert this as they were incoming Heel Face Turns. The toyline did this a lot as well, though again, subverted from time to time with the inclusion of Cybershark (a hammerhead) and Claw Jaw (a squid) for the Maximals. Transformers: Animated returns both the Dinobots, who are (mostly) happy to just be left alone, as well as Blackarachnia, who is a pretty cruel little spider (though she at least get the benefit of a sad Backstory).
