Contradictory

Heroes who turn out to be Contradictory are either the opposite of a normally hostile career, race, or appearance, or are overall surprisingly well-intentioned despite whatever terrifying or harmful-sounding name they possess.

The common themes for this type of hero include but are not limited to: demons, bogeymen, vampires, dark beings, orcs, trolls, goblins, lycanthropes, and weapons; things that are supposed to represent guiltiness, feud, or horror donning a theme then what is expected of them.

Note: Do not add angels to this list as they no longer contradict what they are meant to be. Also, such characters must take on this form/guise for the majority of the work they are in, and not for a short time.

Also, do not add individuals whose species is portrayed as evil in certain mythologies, but are not seen in a negative light in modern times in most cases (for example: fairies or elves).
