Let's face it. We all love Cute things. Some like Cute for Nostalgia. Some like cute for... Perverted reasons. There are even people who think ugly things are cute! But sometimes Cute overlaps with Terror. Bonus Points if it's something from an animated work. Can overlap with Killer Rabbit.

Compare Grotesque Cute. Not to be confused with Cute Is Evil, but it can overlap. Has a high chance of overlapping with Cute Monster Girl if the abomination in question is humanoid.

Examples of Adorable Abomination include:

  • The Stitchpunks from 9.
  • Toothless from the How to Train Your Dragon movie can switch from Cute to Fierce by changing his eyes.

  • Whateley Universe example: Josie Gilman's cute little black kittycat. It loves to be hugged, it loves to be fed, it... oh my god it's an Eldritch Abomination with a huge gaping maw!!!
