Had an idea to (basically) re-mash Grimm's fairy tales creatures with science & nursery tales to find a more interesting "middle ground" between horror and inocence... 
For example: 
Unicorn (theme)
A tribe of people who "seek the unicorn who gives blessed powers", in the far North. 
The "unicorn" is a horse infected with a parasitic brain worm, which will infect the human hosts; the effect of this is in 3 stages, stage 1, human grows a small "horn" similar to the unicorn; stage 2, the human manifests permanent mental enhancements, like the ability to always tell if people are telling the truth, strength and weather resistance, night vision, and immunity to poisons, and a severe aversion to anything iron. 3rd stage of infection is a high fever and death, but the tribe have a "ritual" which removes the parasite & kills it before it kills the host human, leaving them with the horn & the powers. 
Thus being infected by the Unicorn God to gain thier powers becomes a rite of passage into adulthood for every tribe member, and they aren't considered true members until they "receive thier horn". 

Cockatrice (theme)

A lonely orphan girl (teenager) finds a strange egg, & hatches out a creature whose beauty & gaze mesmerizes anyone (except the child) so completely that they will do whatever they're commanded to. The girl is horrified to discover that they can command people to turn to stone, spontaneously catch on fire, turn inside out, etc, and decides to hide the creature, but can't figure out how. They eventually show the creature a mirror and command it to become human (accidentally maybe?), whereupon the creature becomes a teen boy, falls in love with her (the girl) and becomes her protector; since he is human now, he is prevented from ever using his powers on his own. He can only do whatever she commands. And in staying by her side while she uses his powers, she gains fame as a mage & eventually becomes ruler of the kingdom..? 

   Can't think of any more now but I'm sure more will come to mind...
