User blog comment:Scary5/Creepypasta Anti-Hero?/@comment-5564808-20140416205459

There are stories such as Always With You, which is a rather unique example but also the first one to come to mind, in which the antagonist/"monster" is not exactly malevolent. Also, in Marble Hornets, the masked men have ambiguous motives (sometimes even seeming to help the protagonists in some way or another), the Slender Man also has unclear (i.e. maybe not "evil") intentions in quite a few stories... uncertain motives, alignment, behavior, etc. is very common in creepypasta, including other well-known stories apart from those that I cited as examples. Even if these don't exactly count as archetypical anti-heroes, their status of being in the grey area in terms of morality and actions essentially makes them, to some degree, the equivalent of such a type of character.
