It has no feelings or ideals as such, its chakra can only be sensed in the form of the same natural energy that pervades the world. It also serves as the progenitor of everything in the Shinobi world and it’s a nearly unstoppable force of nature.

** The ''[[Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion Rebuild]]'' films turned Ramiel, Sahaquiel, and Zeruel into this. Ramiel is now a living geometry that constantly morphs through [[AlienGeometries impossible transformations]] whenever it is about to attack with a WaveMotionGun capable of melting mountains in one shot, constantly ''singing'' with inhuman voices and ''[[HellIsThatNoise screams]]'' whenever damaged. Sahaquiel becomes (by {{Kaiju}}-standards) ''gargantuan'' thing that mixes traits from three Angels of the original series, including the aforementioned Leliel. Zeruel takes the cake, for while it visually doesn't look any different, now it has at least ''24 layers'' of AT-Field, can shoot off EyeBeams to one-shot a barrier that took Ramiel 10 hours to destroy, and [[spoiler:can consume an EVA whole, and transform its body (but not its head) into a naked, human woman body to gain the traits of an EVA]].

* A rare mechanical, [[AIIsACrapshoot robotic]] version of this trope coming from ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam'' is the Devil Gundam (or the [[{{Bowdlerise}} Dark Gundam]] depending on the dub). A Gundam designed to be completely autonomous and with no need for a pilot, and given the capacity for self-evolution, self-recovery, and self-replication, it's more akin to a giant MechanicalLifeform than a HumongousMecha. Given the resources, the Devil Gundam could build up its physical form at will, bordering on shapeshifting into configurations that look disturbingly organic. It could also infect people with "DG cells", with the progressing infection leading to influencing behavior, then possessing people, and even capable of ''overwriting them entirely''. It also [[BackFromTheDead resurrected twice]] over the series. The kicker is that it was intended to [[BenevolentAI help humanity]] (albeit not directly) by [[EarthThatUsedToBeBetter repairing and protecting Earth's biosphere]], so that humanity could live there comfortably again. It decided that its main goal would be best achieved by killing off the humans (who were responsible for wrecking it) that remained on Earth, and preventing them from returning. In the series climax, it possesses an entire colony (not the people on it, but ''the colony'') and intends to [[ColonyDrop crash it into the Earth]].

** ''Manga/DragonBall'': The anime-only [[https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonball/images/a/a1/Yami2.png/revision/latest?cb=20101020124053 Darkness]] is one of the most mysterious and disturbing beings in the early series. Residing in a deep dark maze-like cave in snowy mountain, Korin doesn't explain what the Darkess is and only says it's guarding the Ultra Divine Water so that only the worthy can drink from it. Darkness has no clear form and even has the power to send to demonic snowmen to attack Goku and Yajirobi on the Moutain's surface and even more creepily Darkness can create illusions of Goku's friends and Kami House to try convince to remain in the cave ''forever''. The simple minded Goku is fooled briefly and doesn't question why his friends are speaking in horrifying echoes voices, or why Kami House is sitting inside a dark cave. Goku escapes from the illusions and proves his worth by saving Yajirobi, this causes the Darkness to allow Goku to drink the Ultra Divine Water when offers it to him waking up Goku's latent power and gives him the strength to fight King Piccolo. The creepy part is the Darkness still lurks in below in the Dragon Ball World, it appears the based on the Umibōzu of Japanese folklore.

** The World of ''One Piece'' features a handful of shadowy figures that are so impossibly huge, they can stand in the middle of the ocean as if on land. First are the Sea Behemoths, immense humanoids that appear to be wearing some kind of armor and wield massive weapons, and The Florian Triangle monster. The former scared the Straw Hats to death to the point where they didn't even want to see what it was, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness which for them is very unusual.]] The latter is the largest creature ever seen in the series at around 54,000 feet tall. It's implied to be incredibly ancient and malevolent, as it's been destroying ships that enter its territory for hundreds of years and has glowing red eyes.

** The Lily Carnation from [[Anime/BaronOmatsuriAndTheSecretIsland Movie 6]] is probably the scariest monster in the franchise and there's absolutely no explanation to what exactly it is or where it came from other than being called a "a rare flower". In it's base form it's just a cute little flower with eyes and mouth that's seemly growing out of Omatsuri's shoulder but then it turns out the titular villain is the flower's host and his been feeding it pirate crews so it can produce plant-replicates of the his dead crew. The pure NightmareFuel comes in when the most of Strawhats (Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper and Robin) have been swallowed by the abomination and Omatsuri reveals it's [[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-n9qBBjXXub4/VOhGmuscLxI/AAAAAAAAAm0/gnK6PTziQ84/s1600/9908055_orig.gif horrifying true form]]. It's especially freaky when Baron Omatsuri uses the flower's power to reduce Luffy to a terrifying zombie-like state. Though the Lily Carnation is killed by a simple bow and arrow, it's nevertheless probably the most demonic and scary ''One Piece'' movie villain to date. Movie 6's writer Masahiro Ito is one of the creators of the ''Franchise/SilentHill'' series, which may explain the darker mood of the story compared the main series as well as the Eldritch Abomination in the aforementioned Lily Carnation.

* ''LightNovel/WorldEndWhatDoYouDoAtTheEndOfTheWorldAreYouBusyWillYouSaveUs'': The 17 Beasts wiped out all life on the surface within a year of their first appearance, driving the survivors to floating islands just barely out of reach. Each subtype of Beast differs drastically in form from the others, but they’re all united in their burning hatred for all other life forms. While they’re all Eldritch Abominations, Shiantor the Lamenting First Beast is by far the most alien. It’s powerful RealityWarper abilities and weird AlienGeometries, make it disturbingly similar to a [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Witch]]. No one has ever survived an encounter with this monster, so running is the only option if it’s in the area.

They were given a Divine Craft that allowed them to shapeshift, but lost their minds as a result.

Anomaly continues to absorb people to expand its mass, with no regard for friend or foe. Notably, Anomaly seems to no longer be a living thing in the conventional sense, as Fleonell's first Arcana (which affects living things) is unable to revert its body.

To fulfill its objective, a null-state for everything, it mutated into more and more alien forms, all inspired by the Franchise/CthulhuMythos (mixed correspondingly with designs of the Angels from ''[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Evangelion]]''). Unique in that it got ''worse'' when it became aware of humans as entities; it tapped into the agony and pain of ''one little girl'', amplifying and becoming TheHeartless and quite, quite insane by anyone's standard. It is both artificial and technological in origin, which is extremely rare outside the franchise, and unlike other franchise examples is most definitely '''''NOT''''' a digimon itself.
** Guilmon's Mega form,[[http://orig14.deviantart.net/0868/f/2013/217/0/a/megidramon_by_thenightmaredragon-d6gpt87.jpg Megidramon]]. Guilmon started off as friendly, but his Mega form is such an abomination that its very existence can tear the digital world.

* ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'': The titans would better fall under HumanoidAbomination, but the nature of the power behind them--regeneration, nimbleness despite their gargantuan sizes, and the ability to manifest flesh, bone, and sinew from seemingly nothing, among other things--are extremely alien, making it nearly impossible for our heroes to understand and combat them. However, one titan truly embodies this trope: [[spoiler:Eren Yeager's fully-realized Founding Titan dwarfs the Colossal Titan and even Rod Reiss' unusually large titan form in size, is made up almost entirely of bones, and doesn't look anywhere close to a human, instead more resembling a dinosaur or a caterpillar with how it walks with its ribs. His abilities in this form are also eldritch: he can flatten an entire continent in a few days with his control over ''thousands'' of Colossal Titans; summon an army of intelligent titans from the past; and finally has complete control over all Subjects of Ymir, being able to send them to an ethereal plane of existence, and can mind control, memory wipe, or even sterilize them.]]

* ''LightNovel/SukaSuka'': The 17 Beasts wiped out all life on the surface within a year of their first appearance, driving the survivors to floating islands just barely out of reach. Each subtype of Beast differs drastically in form from the others, but they’re all united in their burning hatred for all other life forms. While they’re all Eldritch Abominations, Shiantor the Lamenting First Beast is by far the most alien. It’s powerful RealityWarper abilities and weird AlienGeometries, make it disturbingly similar to a [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Witch]]. No one has ever survived an encounter with this monster, so running is the only option if it’s in the area.

* ''Anime/FushigiboshiNoFutagoHime'': The Black Crystal, which also serves as the GreaterScopeVillain. It takes the form of an otherwise inconspicuous crystal, but it has a will of its own and its real form is largely incomprehensible. It is an EmotionEater, and [[AsLongAsThereIsEvil as long as it can]] [[EmotionEater feed off of negativity]], it ''will'' continue to exist, no matter how many times it's defeated.
* ''Manga/GetterRobo'': A HumongousMecha work of Creator/KenIshikawa gave us another eldritch abomination. It is immensely powerful. Its sheer size dwarfs planets. Its mere passing destroys worlds. It is told it is able to devour a whole universe. One single beam from it can blow to cosmic dust a planet and its fist can crush tears in the fabric of time-space. Vast armies and armadas have tried destroying it, only to be easily obliterated in turn without even managing to damage it slightly. Its name?
