A rotting pile of gaming's cutest undead

Skeleton Bee (Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins)

Anoth🌜er fantastic example of how something that’s cute when alive can be even more charming when undead, the skeleton bee brings it with delightful body patterns and a very fashionable skull face. Like his landbound counterpart Dry Bones, Bee isn’t about to let some fat Italian stop him from delivering his death pollen - a simple stomping isn’t enough to slow down this harbinger of cutemageddon.

Cutest features: Turns being originally rendered in black and 🌠white from a liabဣility into an asset 

Endearing flaws: Yes he’s a stinging insect, but he juꦉst wants to sting you with love.

Mummified Cats (Tomb Raider)

We would be fired from the internet if we wrote an entire article about cute things and didn’t include at✃ least one kitten on our list. Thankfully, Lara Croft and her bizarre bestiary are here to save our ridiculous “jobs” b🌟y way of mummy kitties, hands down the cutest thing on the planet that’s been wrapped in bandages and had its brain liquefied. Cats that play the keyboard or lol a lot are fine we suppose, but we prefer our felines a little more ferocious, and in this case, considerably more dead.

Cutest features: Who needs soft ki𝔍tty fur when you💙’ve got desiccated bandages occasionally moistened by cat/adventurer blood?

Endearing flaws: Minor attitude problem, but you’d be ornery too if you coulꦇdn’t see anything and had to wﷺatch your brain trickle out of your nostrils in smoothie form.

Cuter than: Imagine a picture of 𝔉y𒈔our cat with some band-aids on its face here.

Count von Count (Sesame Street: Countdown)

Oh, come the fuck on. A vampire muppet that wants to teach children/animals how to count and is called Count von Count? He’s married to a lady muppet named ? He vants to suck your fruit juice? Where slipping razor fanged corpses into children’s media is concerned (and being ridiculously adorable ꦓin the process), nobody beats the Stღreet.

Cutest features: As obsessions go, arithmomania’s gotta be the cutest. The Count once stopped Ernie from answering the phone because he wanted to count the rings. Swoon.

Endearing flaws: Any of hiꦬs flaws aܫre apparently too endearing for us to notice. Never change, Count.
