History EldritchAbomination / VideoGames

* ''Videogame/BrokenAge'': Mog Chothra, a colossal creature resembling a floating brain, with countless CombatTentacles on the underside, and glowing red hexagons all over its body that might be eyes, but no one is completely sure. And to think that his species is implied to have a thriving population. [[spoiler: Ultimately [[Main/SubvertedTrope subverted]], he's actually a robot.]]

* ''Videogame/DeadByDaylight'' has the Entity, which the killers sacrifice the survivors to for an unknown purpose. In game, the Entity is never seen in full, though it has spider-like limbs to snatch up hooked corpses.
* ''Videogame/DeadlyRoomsOfDeath'' has the Pit Thing. He manifests as a voice rising from various pits throughout the world and the portrait that appears when he speaks looks like some tentacles trying to squeeze through a crack. When the truth vessels try to describe him, they don't get any further than "a network of gentle strangulations." He refers to another godlike being as his sister, and claims that a thousand of his hearts die every time he makes himself understood. Evidently, he's something that's simply too weird to explain.

* In ''Videogame/{{Evolve}}'', this is the true nature of [[spoiler: the monsters. They are the manifestations of a largely unknown force, likened to a 3D being pressing against a 2D universe. Their forms are created by drawing on the subconscious fears of humans, fears that they themselves may have created millennia ago. Killing one merely destroys that manifestation, forcing it back to its dimension of origin until it can remanifest from an egg, which are self-contained interdimensional gates. The monsters themselves can sense dimensional distortions and have limited telepathy, while their genetic code somehow involves the equation used for the reality warping tech of the humans. All of this is meant to perpetuate their end goal: to change the base energy state of the universe to a more stable one, annihilating everything in the process.]]

** VideoGame/ArNosurgeOdeToAnUnbornStar has the Interdimend players, extra-dimensional beings who can use the Interdimend to interact with other worlds by taking control of the inhabitants at any time they wish.

* ''[[VideoGame/FallenLondon Fallen London]]'s'' world has a whole variety of them, including sentient stars, giant space crabs, cthulhu-looking humanoids, a nomadic mountain that shouts at you in an [[BrownNote eldritch language]], and Mr. Eaten, who scares most of the previous ones listed by way of [[spoiler:starting as the servant of one such crab before getting betrayed in such a manner as to leave the most vengeful phantom to ''ever'' exist and who seeks to be its downfall no matter what it takes. [[MindScrew Sort of]]]].

* ''VisualNovel/HatofulBoyfriend''Holiday Stars's [[spoiler: [[SpellMyNameWithAThe The King]]/the real Kazuaki Nanaki's true form is a [[BodyHorror bunch of ]][[EverythingsBetterWithRainbows colourfull]] [[BodyHorror serpentine bird heads sticking out of a quails corpse]]]]

* The {{Roguelike}} ''Videogame/{{Incursion}}'' has among its pantheon [[http://www.incursion-roguelike.org/man/Pantheon.html#KY Kysul]], the Watcher Beneath the Waves, an unspeakably ancient and foreign being from a long-dead world, keeper of eldritch, [[GoMadFromTheRevelation mind-shattering secrets]], whose mere form is so alien that [[BrownNote it can cause insanity in the unprepared]]. It is also, in a spectacular [[SubvertedTrope subversion]] of the expected attitudes of such a creature, strongly LawfulGood.

* As far as we know, ''Videogame/KerbalSpaceProgram'' doesn't actually have any of these. However, a certain series of bugs that caused spaceship parts to flail like crazy, accelerate in weird directions without any reason, and even spontaneously implode, without going over [[BodyHorror what it does to unprotected Kerbals]] was called the Deep Space Kraken, with any and all spaceships and Kerbals who died to the bugs being devoured by it. The name stuck, and any similar bug that came in after the original was fixed has been blamed on this creature.

** [[spoiler:Fecto Forgo]], the BigBad of ''VideoGame/KirbyAndTheForgottenLand'', is [[spoiler:a bizarre embryo-like creature with immense PsychicPowers. Although they have little energy of their own and spends much of the game locked inside the [[DarkLordOnLifeSupport Eternal Capsule]], they still manage to [[TheChessmaster influence the plot]] by [[{{Brainwashed}} brainwashing]] King Leongar and [[ThinkingUpPortals summoning up dimensional vortices]], all so they can gain [[SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil Waddle Dee slave labor]] and reunite with their "other half". They can [[TheAssimilator assimilate]] any creature they want into their body, transforming them into an absolutely horrifying gelatinous amalgamation of animal faces that wouldn't look at all out of place in a ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil'' game. However, it turns out they can actually [[TheDisembodied survive without their body entirely]] as long as their soul remains intact. The Beast Pack even refers to them as "the Great One", which calls to mind Lovecraft's [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos Great Old Ones]].]]

** In ''VideoGame/{{Persona 2}}'', we have Philemon and Nyarlathotep. Both are similar in nature and origin, in that they are not merely [[DeityOfMortalCreation gods and demons born from human beliefs]] in the Collective Unconscious, but rather [[HumansAreCthulhu sentient structures of the collective itself, existing as a consequence of humanity's most primal instincts]]; the former personifying the instinct to reinforce the sense of self, the latter being the impulses to weaken and destroy it. Naturally, the latter is the main villain; he also fits the trope straighter since he often manifests in the human world under various guises, as a human or a Persona. His authority and power over human cognition is such that he can turn rumors into reality with little effort, create a device which can rewrite the world, and [[spoiler:actually manage to destroy human civilization as we know it]] at the end of ''Innocent Sin''. While he drops his pretenses, his forms become ''especially trippy'', notably his form Crawling Chaos (this page's image), which emphasizes just how different beings like Philemon and Nyarlathotep are when compared to ''mere'' gods and demons.
** ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'' reveals a primordial entity who existed long before humanity even existed, and actually helped shape humanity's mind during the dawn of civilization through the awareness of death. It is referred to as the 'maternal entity', Death, and Nyx. It hibernates [[spoiler:within the moon]], sleeping until humanity's mind become too clouded by self-destructive desires. If that happens, Nyx becomes convinced [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt it's time to bring upon The Fall]] to end all life on Earth. Naturally, that only happens because of humanity's actions; a group of humans gathered Shadows en masse, and used the condensed human negativity to give physical form to an aspect of Nyx -- Death itself -- who in turn, becomes the Harbinger of the Fall to unleash Nyx upon Earth. [[spoiler:As Death becomes Nyx Avatar, the heroes fight it [[DoNotGoGentle to assert themselves as living beings]] (on the slimmest of chances they might even win). In response, it simply ''allows itself to be beaten'' as a courtesy to let the heroes live to their fullest, then [[TheBattleDidntCount shrugs off the defeat]] and continues to bring about The Fall]]. Ultimately, [[spoiler:this fate is only averted when the Main Character receives an EleventhHourSuperpower courtesy of ThePowerOfFriendship, and even that only succeeds because he manages to prevent humanity's self-destructive desires from reaching Nyx... and by doing so, he ''dies''. Still, Death and Nyx do express relief and appreciation for his actions to avert the apocalypse, as both entities fully understand and possess compassion for humans]].

** In ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'', many things from beyond the TV screen count, as does [[spoiler:Izanami-no-Okami]], who is a god representing humanity's collective unconscious, specifically the willingness to lie and desire to run away from truth. The fog from the TV world serves as a reminder of this, as it is toxic to normal humans and will turn them into Shadows through prolonged exposure.
*** The ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4 Arena}}'' series has [[spoiler:Hi-no-Kagutsuchi]], the collective will of those who abandon all connections, and strive to live only for themselves.
*** ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4 Dancing All Night}}'' has [[spoiler:Mikuratana-no-Kami]], the embodiment of the desire for an eternal, painless bond, even if said bond is false.
** ''VideoGame/{{Persona 5}}'' continues the trend with [[spoiler:Yaldabaoth]], the embodiment of the collective desire to maintain social order, regardless of the costs or actual morality of such actions. He is the first of his kind to [[spoiler:actually break into the Velvet Room, imprison Igor, and split the current attendant into two amnesiac halves he could order around]].

** Similar yet distinct from the above is the reverse: [[NatureSpirit naturally formed living phenomenons]]. In some games humans don't seem to shape the essence of reality into demons (at least not actively), yet the processes which give rise to demons ''still happen anyway'' [[note]]usually because there are forces ''other'' than humanity which had dictated reality first; games like ''[[VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIIINocturne Nocturne]]'' have [[GodIsEvil God]], other games have [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute counterparts]] like [[VideoGame/DigitalDevilSaga Brahman]], ''[[VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiStrangeJourney Strange Journey]]'' has [[spoiler:previous generations of advanced civilization which were wiped by the Schwarzwelt, and also [[GaiasVengeance the Earth itself]]]], ''VideoGame/DevilSurvivor2'' has alien {{Reality Warper}}s; ''[[VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiV V]]'' also implies there are worlds which are ''inherently structured'' to give rise to demons, no matter what[[/note]]. These demons are a fair bit different from the above type in a number of ways. While they have similar traits and can harness power from humans, they are closer to being true lifeforms: though the ''genesis'' of these demons [[NiceJobBreakingItHero could be affected or catalyzed by humans]], their ''continued existence'' [[OntologicalInertia are not]]. Thus, these demons are ''very'' prone to KillAllHumans. On the other hand, individual demons of this type can be killed and won't come back naturally -- though new demons of similar natures might still spawn. It is also possible for demons of the above category to become this one. In ''Persona'', demons and gods who possess and incarnate within a human would not disappear even if humans are no more to create cognition; [[spoiler:the Malevolent Entity of ''VideoGame/Persona4ArenaUltimax'' tries to do exactly that]]. ''IV'' and ''Apocalypse'' also have the Divine Powers planning to use human souls to essentially become an axiom in reality, while [[spoiler:Vishnu-Flynn]] and [[spoiler:Satan]] use FusionDance with powerful humans to ''wield'' Observation to their advantage.

** Dark Gaia, a SealedEvilInACan Eggman released in ''Videogame/SonicUnleashed'', is a ''sentient force of nature'' who ''helped create the universe'' (by destroying the old one, but meh). [[spoiler:Since the "stars ''aren't'' right" this time around, though, it breaks up into various [[TheHeartless Heartless-esque]] critters and the BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil causes his [[EvilCounterpart Good Counterpart]] to be released as well, and he helps Sonic seal Gaia up again.]]

* VideoGame/SoulSeries: Soul Edge started out as an ordinary sword, but became the avatar of Inferno, a soul-eating abomination that [[GrandTheftMe takes over its wielder]]. While it still resembles a sword that changes form depending on its wielder, it transforms anyone infected by its curse into Malfested, monsters bound to its will. When damaged, it retreats into [[EldritchLocation Astral Chaos]] and either repairs itself or scatters its shards around the world. And [[spoiler:[[DistaffCounterpart Soul Calibur]]]] isn't as different as many expect... In MassiveMultiplayerCrossover ''VideoGame/NamcoXCapcom'', the Soul Edge is the missing half of BigBad [[MultiversalConqueror 99]] and has power to cut ''anything''. Its mere presence accidently severs the link between [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Morrigan Aensland and Lilith]]]], which mean it can ''cut souls in half''.

*** [[LightIsNotGood Galeem]]. In terms of appearance, Galeem wouldn't appear out of place in [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Evangelion]], consisting of a core of pure light surrounded by multiple floating, ribbon-like wings, with no other real body to speak of; it looks practically [[OurAngelsAreDifferent angelic]] in nature. That's not even getting into the fact that it (or "he", [[AllThereInTheManual according to the website]]) apparently controls an entire ''army'' of Master Hands, or that the ''very first thing'' we see him do in the game is launch an attack so powerful that not only does it [[HeroKiller straight-up kill all of the fighters]] (except [[SoleSurvivor Kirby]], who narrowly managed to escape), but expands to encompass what appears to be '''the entire universe''' in its wave of destruction.

** The game's FinalBoss, the Moon Lord. Also known as "[[Franchise/CthulhuMythos Cthulhu]]". He's somehow still alive after having his eyes, spine, skeleton, and ''brain'' ripped out hundreds of years ago (and each of those body parts is independently alive despite this, being the pre-Hardmode bosses) and even in that weakened state is the most powerful boss in the game. His only weak points are three eyes, one in his forehead, and two in his palms. And defeating those eyes just turns them invincible and lets them fly around attacking independently while the Moon Lord himself continues the fight. It's also implied that many of the game's supernatural enemies are tainted and being manipulated by the Moon Lord's power even before he's summoned.

* ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' gives us the Saigyou Ayakashi, a demonic entity taking the form of a cherry tree. It drew people to its side with its beauty, tempting them to sleep under its branches... at which point it devoured their souls. Out of all of the characters in the series, it's one of the miniscule handful that can actually be called evil. Currently it's SealedEvilInACan, the body of a powerful young woman being buried beneath its roots to render it comatose; ''Perfect Cherry Blossom'' revolves around keeping Yuyuko from unknowingly breaking that seal by bringing the woman back to life (thanks to GhostAmnesia, [[spoiler:she's forgotten that she ''is'' that seal]]).

** There's also [[spoiler:the trio]] from ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'': Iblis, a massive beast of destruction made only out of fire; Mephiles, a gasseous-liquid mind of complete corruption and shadowy powers; and [[spoiler:Solaris, an ''interdimensional being trying to destroy reality'']].

** In ''VideoGame/SonicFrontiers'', the game’s BigBad [[spoiler:The End, is an ancient malevolent entity that once fought the Ancients in the past before getting sealed away by its opponents. When Sonic arrives on the Starfall Islands in the present day, it tricks him into defeating the Titans so it can resume its multiversal conquest, starting with his own universe. In the final battle, it appears as a living moon but ccording to WordOfGod, this is not it's true form. Instead, The End's appearence changes based on how the viewer would percieve the embodiment of death.]]

* The ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' series in general seems to have a soft spot for Eldritch Abominations. The Dunwich Company of ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}}'' and ''[[VideoGame/{{Fallout 4}} 4]]'' serves as an homage to ''The Dunwich Horror'', a famous Lovecraft story. While no Abominations physically appear, the higher-ups of the Dunwich Company regularly sacrifice humans to their version of the Great Old Ones. Same goes for [[spoiler:Lorenzo Cabot]] in ''Fallout 4'': his son describes an ancient, alien city in the Southwest were his father found an ancient artifact that granted [[spoiler:Lorenzo]] psychic powers and seeming immortality.
** The Master from ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 1}}'' qualifies as well, given that he's [[spoiler: an amorphous blob of flesh fused to a computer and speaks through four voices.]]

* ''VideoGame/MikuMonogatariYumeToTaisetsuNaMono'': at the last stage of every world, you face bizarre, eldritch creatures as a boss. Each one of them has only one eye and look out-of-place within the colorful storybook world. The final boss in particular has a pair of gigantic disembodied claw-like hands that tries to crush you and [[DreamEater eats dreams]].

* ''VideoGame/StarCraft'':

* The [[BonusBoss Nemeses]] from ''VideoGame/BravelyDefault'' have unexplained origins, bizarre appearances and some highly unusual methods of attack, putting them firmly into this category. Their sucessors, the Ba'als from ''VideoGame/BravelySecond'' do eventually get an origin, but they still qualify (if anything, they're even ''more'' bizarre than the Nemeses). The TrueFinalBoss of the first game, [[spoiler: Lord Ourorbouros]] also qualifies, with the second game's FinalBoss, [[spoiler: Providence]] being a debatable example as well.

* ''VideoGame/CopyKitty'' has the [[BonusBoss Bonus Bosses]], Exgal and Aekros. Their names cannot be displayed except as bizarre characters, and they have triple life bars that regenerate instantly. Instead, Boki has to destroy their three Ulsev puppets. Each time she does so, she can absorb one of their similarly unnameable but ''extremely'' powerful abilities. The skull-like, demonic Exgal only goes down when Boki combines all three of its BlackMagic abilities and... um... well, whatever actually happened, it was something that [[DivideByZero crashes the entire training simulation]] and wasn't even supposed to be possible. Afterward, if you try to view Exgal's data in the enemy list, it corrupts the interface and makes everything unreadable. Aekros on the other hand is angelic-looking and is powered by light magic, but is otherwise just as incomprehensible as Exgal, as well as being even more powerful. Said entities are controlled by the Cybers, an ancient collective that brainwashes and converts [[PsychicPowers entanma]] into Cybers themselves, twisting their native abilities to serve them in mechanical bodies. What their ultimate goals are, if any, are unknown and they've been attacking the setting's solar system for more than 10000 years. Characters -in-universe speculate they may have come from an alternate dimension to seek resources, but that's all anyone knows.

* EVERY SINGLE TrueFinalBoss in the ''VideoGame/EtrianOdyssey'' series. [[BonusBoss The one]] in the third game [[YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm takes the cake]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A16h1BwsFyE Just try to count all those eyes and tentacles...]]

* In ''VideoGame/ManaKhemiaAlchemistsOfAlrevis'', [[spoiler:the ''main character's'' wish-granting powers given "physical form"]] comes close. It was given a BonusBoss PaletteSwap [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast called "Pain"]], described this way:

* ''EldritchAbomination/Minecraft''

*** Legion (Corpse) from ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaHarmonyOfDissonance'' is ''even worse'' in this regard. It can break off and animate pieces of itself to attack you, its core is a corpse that squirms when you hit it, and it lets out blue blood and [[HellIsThatNoise a horrible scream when hit]].

* The FinalBoss of ''VideoGame/MetalSlug'' 5, known as the Evil Spirit Incarnate. This giant...''thing'' [[GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere comes right the hell out of nowhere]] with an absolutely [[HellIsThatNoise demonic screech]] and the sound of its beating wings. It's enormous and demonic-looking, with [[RedEyesTakeWarning bright red eyes]], CelestialBody, and ''[[BodyHorror it has a mobile human skull on its chest]].'' That's not to mention the SinisterScythe it's armed with. [[NothingIsScarier And what even is this thing? Is it the Grim Reaper? Is it some sort of demon god? Or something else entirely? We simply don't know.]] Perhaps the only comforting thing is that it's not immune to human weapons. [[spoiler: Even then, all you manage to do in the end is drive it off. It's still out there somewhere...]]

* ''[[VideoGame/MikuMonogatariYumeToTaisetsuNaMono Miku Monogatari: Yume to Taisetsu na Mono]]'' : at the last stage of every world, you face bizarre, eldritch creatures as a boss. Each one of them has only one eye and look out-of-place within the colorful storybook world. The final boss in particular has a pair of gigantic disembodied claw-like hands that tries to crush you and [[DreamEater eats dreams]].

* ''VideoGame/CassetteBeasts'' has the Archangels, a group of mysterious, powerful beings scattered across the island of New Wirral. Their forms are broken and disjointed (and implied not to be their ''true'' forms - Kayleigh notes that looking at them feels like "trying to watch a movie through binoculars"), being around them causes {{Ominous Visual Glitch}}es, and in battle they don't obey the same mechanics as the other monsters on the island. Harbourtown has existed for over a century by the time the player arrives and nobody still has any idea what the hell the Archangels are.

** In ''VideoGame/{{Persona 2}}'', we have Philemon and the Lovecraftian deity Nyarlathotep. Both are similar in nature and origin, in that [[TheHeartless they came from humanity's collective unconscious]], with Philemon representing the "creative side" of humanity's mind, while Nyarlathotep represents its "destructive side". Naturally, the latter is the main villain; he also fits the trope straighter since Nyarlathotep often manifests in the human world with various human guises and Personas. His authority and power over human cognition is such that he can turn rumors into reality with little effort, create a device which can rewrite the world, and [[spoiler:actually manage to destroy and recreate human civilization as we know it]] at the end of ''Innocent Sin''. While he drops his pretenses and guises, his forms are very eldritch and true to its Lovecraftian origin, especially his Crawling Chaos form (this page's image), which emphasizes just how different beings from the collective unconscious are when compared to the typical Personas or Shadows.
** ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'' reveals a primordial entity who existed long before humanity even existed, and actually helped to shape humanity's mind during the dawn of civilization through the awareness of death. It is referred to as the 'maternal entity', Death, and Nyx. It hibernates [[spoiler:within the moon]], sleeping until humanity's mind become too clouded by self-destructive desires. If that happens, Nyx becomes convinced [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt it's time to bring upon The Fall]] to end all life on Earth. Naturally, that only happens because of humanity's actions -- a group of humans gathered Shadows en masse, and used the condensed human negativity to give physical form to an aspect of Nyx -- Death itself -- who in turn, becomes the Harbinger of the Fall to unleash Nyx upon Earth. [[spoiler:As Death becomes Nyx Avatar, the heroes fight it [[DoNotGoGentle to assert themselves as living beings]] (on the slimmest of chances they might even win). In response, it simply ''allows itself to be beaten'' as a courtesy to let the heroes live to their fullest, then [[TheBattleDidntCount shrugs off the defeat]] and continues to bring about The Fall]]. Ultimately, [[spoiler:this fate is only averted when the Main Character receives an EleventhHourSuperpower courtesy of ThePowerOfFriendship, and even that only succeeds because he manages to prevent humanity's self-destructive desires from reaching Nyx... and by doing so, he ''dies''. Death and Nyx do express relief and appreciation for his actions to avert the apocalypse, however, as both entities fully understand and possess compassion for humans]].
*** In the UpdatedRerelease, ''Persona 3 FES'', reveals an abomination more similar to the ones from previous games. The heroes learn the existence of Erebus, an entity embodying humanity's instinctive and conscious desire for death. This thing is the real problem of the story; its very existence causes Nyx to try and end humanity, as it is implied it was influencing the events of the main game from behind the scenes. [[spoiler:The protagonist is revealed to have become a Great Seal, barring Erebus from reaching Nyx within the collective conscious.]]
** In ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'', many things from beyond the TV screen count, as does [[spoiler:Izanami-no-Okami]], who is another representative of humanity's collective unconscious, specifically the willingness to lie and desire to run away from truth. The fog from the TV world serves as a reminder of this, as it is toxic to normal humans and will turn them into Shadows through prolonged exposure.

** Finally, in Persona 5 Royal, [[spoiler:Maruki's persona is aptly named Azathoth and has the power to rewrite cognition. The shadows it draws to its palace are also all themed around the Cthulhu mythos.]].

* ''VideoGame/ShadowHearts'' is filled with these things. The FinalBoss of the first game, Meta-God, [[spoiler:is a SufficientlyAdvancedAlien crossbred with a horse and is beyond human reasoning.]] ''Covenant'' sets up Amon, one of Yuri's strongest Fusions from the first game ([[spoiler:second to Seraphic Radiance]]), as part of a triumvirate of eldritch horrors, opposed and matched by Asmodeus and Astaroth.

[[folder: O-S]]

[[folder: T-Z]]

** Speaking of the Metal Heads, there's also the Metal Heads' second-in-command [[spoiler: Kaeden]], an insectoid, four-winged monstrosity who serves as the final boss of ''VideoGame/{{Daxter}}''.

** ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'' manages to up the ante even further with [[LightIsNotGood Galeem]], the BigBad of the game's Adventure Mode, "World of Light". In terms of appearance, Galeem wouldn't appear out of place in [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Evangelion]], consisting of a core of pure light surrounded by multiple floating, ribbon-like wings, with no other real body to speak of; it looks practically [[OurAngelsAreDifferent angelic]] in nature. That's not even getting into the fact that it (or "he", [[AllThereInTheManual according to the website]]) apparently controls an entire ''army'' of Master Hands, or that the ''very first thing'' we see him do in the game is launch an attack so powerful that not only does it [[HeroKiller straight-up kill all of the fighters]] (except [[SoleSurvivor Kirby]], who narrowly managed to escape), but expands to encompass what appears to be '''the entire universe''' in its wave of destruction.
** Speaking of Galeem, its dark counterpart, [[DarkIsEvil Dharkon]], is even ''worse''. It's a gigantic, monstrous eyeball with a blue sclera and a yellow iris that's surrounded by monstrous spike-studded tentacles whose appearance is comparable to [[ComicBook/DoctorStrange Shuma-Gorath]] and [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos Yog-Sothoth]]. It's also described as the embodiment of chaos and darkness that seeks to smother everything in everlasting darkness and eradicate all forms of life wheras Galeem wishes to remake the entire universe in its own image. It also apparently commands an army of Crazy Hands similarly to Galeem's own Master Hand army[[spoiler:, and it introduces itself by making a crack in the sky and ripping through it following Galeem's first defeat. And then there's the fact that the two are fighting against each other and can only perform TeethClenchedTeamwork at best when [[DualBoss they're both fighting the fighters at the same time]], with one of them willingly taking the opportunity to [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown attack the other when it becomes stunned]]]].

** In ''VideoGame/SonicFrontiers'', the game’s BigBad [[spoiler:The End, is an ancient malevolent entity that once fought the Ancients in the past before getting sealed away by its opponents. When Sonic arrives on the Starfall Islands in the present day, it tricks him into defeating the Titans so it can resume its multiversal conquest, starting with his own universe.]]

** Distinguished from the above two: [[OutsideContextProblem entities who are neither humans who can affect the essence of reality, nor demons who are formed from said essence,]] but [[RealityWarper warp reality nonetheless]]. A lot less prominent category, entities of this type are usually [[StarfishAlien aliens]] (''Raidou Kuzunoha Vs. The Lone Marebito'', ''VideoGame/DevilSurvivor2'', ''VideoGame/{{Catherine}}'') or primordial [[CosmicEntity cosmic entities]] (''VideoGame/LastBible'', ''VideoGame/DevilChildren'', ''VideoGame/Persona3''). Some games seem to imply certain incarnations of YHVH are also this type of being (particularly those stated to have created humans, like ''Nocturne'' and ''Strange Journey''), assuming it is indeed YHVH and not [[AboveTheGods the Great Will]] (which exists as PowersThatBe on a YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm levels, even for the most powerful entities in the franchise).
