History EldritchAbomination / Webcomics

** And then there's "Himself", the king of the devils, who somehow managed the paradoxical feat of masking ''himself''. According to Abbadon Himself is exempt from reality's laws and exists beyond time and causality; he's already broken one of the fundamental laws and as such the rest don't apply to him any more. Himself lives in a TailorMadePrison, guarded by the thirteen most powerful devils in existence (aside from Himself) and pierced by a dozen weapons that cause devils' bodies to explode on impact, and is only in there because He permits it. In his one conversation with Allison He is able to hear Allison's thoughts, and [[WordsCanBreakMyBones his speech bubbles corrode his prison]].

** [[spoiler:Jones a.k.a Wandering Eye]] is the oldest, most bizarre and mysterious creature on the planet. "Creature" because they aren't really alive, being immortal, indestructible, and unchanging since the very first second of their existence, "oldest" because their existence began ''[[TimeAbyss 4.5 billion years ago]]'' (and they remember every second of it), and "mysterious" because not even they have the slightest clue what they are. Annie's reaction to learning this is priceless.
* ''Webcomic/{{Guttersnipe}}'' features H.P. Lovecraft as a sort of 1920s Creator/StephenieMeyer, complete with eldritch abominations standing in for sparkly vampires.

* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'': The Snarl is an incomprehensible being born from deific rage and strife, kept in check from destroying the world and the gods only by [[strike:five]] one measly gate. He's depicted as nothing but lines of blue and purple energy in a very vaguely humanoid form. And, ironically, it's also more "real" than the Gods themselves, because the more pantheons involved in a single creation the more stable it is, and the Snarl's "creation" involved a pantheon that doesn't exist anymore in combination with all the others that remain. Part of its terrible power is that it's more fundamentally stable than anything every God combined together could make, so it just slices through creation and can wear down any gate.

*** [[spoiler: Kat]] was shown to see many more esoteric things of the Court as completely mundane and is was capable to interact/modify them based on this view, so the perception kinda makes sense...

--> '''Kozoaku''': Rithuly, you've been a [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos great, old, one]] heck-of-a-pal but I'm sick of this place. I feel like I've been here ''forever''.

* ''Webcomic/IncubusTales'' features recurring antagonists known only as "Abominations", which are said to be anathema to everything that is not them. They have been shown to take a variety of shapes and forms, all of which are appalling and traumatic to everything and everyone around them. One of the most prominent, the Lord of Abominations, was so monstrous it was not shown and may have been incomprehensible.
* ''Webcomic/KeychainOfCreation'' has the Primordials, entities from before time, as is normal for ''TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}''.
-->'''Secret:''' ''[looking at a mural]'' What are these, Misho?\\
'''Misho:''' Mostly, they're images of the primordials, as they were before the war. The gods felt it important we be reminded who we were fighting... thought we would feel a bit more confidence if we knew the nature of our foes.\\
'''Secret:''' Who's that?\\
'''Misho:''' That would be Adrián, the River of All Torments. The gods weren't... used to humans, at that point.
* ''Webcomic/AllNightLaundry'' "What kind of maggot grows in the corpse of a day?"
** [[spoiler: This quote sums up the "Botfly," or the "Green Lady," a bizarre time parasite that travels through time and breaks reality. The best glimpse we've ever gotten of it is a horrifying, blurred out, tentacled monstrosity that follows Bina closely. When she turns around, it turns into a television, preventing us from witnessing the true horror.]]
* ''WebComic/{{Apothecia}}'' has the alien that Jesse meets, which can best be described as a writhing, fungal stew with MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily and eyes [[spoiler: and BlueAndOrangeMorality that makes killing things as important to it as breathing is for us.]]
* In ''WebComic/{{DeepRise}}'' [[StarfishAlien The Nobles]] build their cities around huge sleeping things that emit a steady stream of heat, radiation and other useful things.

** The Denizens are beings that act as the boss of each player's personal planet and are responsible for creating most of the enemies in the game that are not Carapacians. However they are far more than just ordinary Sburb [=NPCs=]. They posses knowledge of events in other timeless and are even able to affect events in other timelines, and it is in fact implied that each of them is the same being in every version of Sburb in every timeline and not just parallel versions of each other like other recurring Sburb characters. Most of them look like gigantic snakes with faces that shine like suns. Each of them speaks in a StarfishLanguage that can only be understood by players that were assigned them. Several of them are named after gods and monsters from Greek Mythology, many of which are also listed in the section on EldritchAbomination/MythologyAndReligion. The most powerful of them all is [[UsefulNotes/{{Gnosticism}} Yaldabaoth]]. They are [[AboveGoodAndEvil not good or evil]], as it normally isn't actually necessary for the players to fight them and if the player does not attack them they offer players a choice which helps them towards their destiny, although they are just as willing to help evil players as good ones.

*** Feferi's lusus is capable of killing every troll in the Universe with a ''sound''. And she's an ''emissary'' of the Noble Circle of Horrorterrors, implied to be a lesser version.

* ''Webcomic/NewYorkMagician'': Hello, [[spoiler:Cthulhu]]!

* In ''Literature/TheSalvationWar'' setting, according to WordOfGod, whatever lives on the opposite side of the Minos Portal in Hell (the portal through which the human dead arrive in Hell) exists in a reality so different and alien that nothing from either "Universe-One" (Earth) or any of the "Universe-Twos" (Heaven, Hell, and other assorted "higher-level" realities) can exist on it. Nothing either living or mechanical from either set of universes that passes through the portal has ever returned.

* While bound devils in ''WebComic/KillSixBillionDemons'' are not particularly eldritch -- just AlwaysChaoticEvil humanoid monsters -- there is the chaos outside reality from which they are made via magical masks. It's ambiguous whether devils even exist as individuals prior to being given masks, or whether it's just some kind of chaotic and evil soup. In any case, it's a lot more freaky than the masked devils. When, on one occasion, a devil decides to break its [[DealWithTheDevil deal]] with a mortal and discards its mask to become an unbound devil, it starts getting eldritch-looking very fast.

* ''Webcomic/{{Goblins}}'' has the horrifying [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/03252011/ Mr. Fingers]], a creature who crawled out of a young boy's nightmares in a very literal sense. Who just [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/04262011/ got loose again]].
** Later it is detailed to be know as a ''Lesser'' Finger Horror. Which implies the existence of its bigger brothers.

** Subsequent events have confirmed that Sam may not technically be one but he can play the part extremely well: when [[ItMakesSenseInContext he takes his pants off]], it's revealed that chromatophores in his [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff2800/fv02758.htm skin make his tentacles appear to exist in more dimensions than is standard.]]

* ''Webcomic/AwfulHospital'': Most everything in The Abyss]] is likely this. Depending on the in-universe nature of the readers, [[WordOfGod which will apparently not be revealed]], they may very well be this too.

* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' has the eponymous "whale" of the January 2013 story arc. It's simultaneously of and NOT of our reality, and it's even [[NonstandardCharacterDesign depicted in a very odd way compared to other characters.]] However, it seems to be benevolent, and is dropping some rather large [[WhamEpisode plot]] [[MrExposition bombs.]]
