History Main / BenevolentAbomination

** The Doctor's TARDIS, a sapient EldritchLocation that's BiggerOnTheInside and can travel anywhere in time and space, is just as much in love with humanity as the Doctor is.

* ''{{Film/Glorious}}'': Ghatanothoa is a god or titan (though he acknowledges such human terms are insufficient to truly describe him) who was created by his "father" to wipe out all life in the universe when he enters the material realm, but was banished to the aether by his siblings. Ghat has grown rather fond of life and does not want to see it destroyed, making a sincere effort to befriend the human Wes to help him [[ArchnemesisDad save the universe from his father]]. Only to do so requires Wes to satisfy Ghat physically...

** [[spoiler:Kulkulkan]], who is one of your main allies for Lostbelt 7, turns out to be this. [[spoiler:She is the ripped out heart of ORT, the Ultimate One of the Oort Cloud. For the record, ORT is the most powerful being seen in ''Franchise/{{Nasuverse}}'', as it is some kind of immortal cosmic spider-like thing with {{Precognition}}, and unknown levels of intelligence, hellbent on destroying humanity. That ripped out heart bit? It took MILLIONS of years to accomplish. And now the heart serves as the Earth's ''new sun'']]. Fortunately for Chaldea, [[spoiler:Kulkulkan]] decided that she loves her namesake and life, and so she joins in as a GenkiGirl who is unquestionably your ally.

** {{God}} is a possible UrExample of this trope. An ancient, unknowable entity that can drive humans mad by the mere sight of Him, and possesses unlimited omnipotent powers, but happens to [[GodIsGood have humanity's best interests at heart]] ([[GoodIsNotNice though you don’t want to cross Him or mess with His creations]]).

* In ''LightNovel/HowNotToSummonADemonLord'', we have the [[MaouTheDemonKing Demon Lord]] Krebskulm. While she was just as evil as the other Demon Lords when [[SealedEvilInACan sealed away]], she underwent a HeelFaceTurn upon being unsealed. Initially, this was because she was only partially unsealed without her memories and took a liking to (demi)human-made sweets, but upon spending time with Diablo and the others, her [[EvilRedeemedInACan outlook didn't change]] even after her memories returned upon the completion of breaking her seal.

* Pretty much the entire point of ''LightNovel/NyarukoCrawlingWithLove'', which reveals that the malign deities of the Franchise/CthulhuMythos are space aliens and can be quite pleasant once you get to know them. The title character is Nyarlathotep the Crawling Chaos, who appears as a beautiful, [[GenkiGirl energetic teenage girl]] who makes friends easily due to her honest, outgoing nature and endless cheer (and came to Earth because [[DidYouJustRomanceCthulhu she fell]] in LoveBeforeFirstSight with OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent Mahiro Yasaka). She's quickly joined in Mahiro's household by Cthuguha the Living Flame and Hastur the Yellow King, who are an {{Emotionless|Girl}} GamerChick and [[AdorablyPrecociousChild Cute Shotaro Boy]] respectively.

** The Doctor themself is an impossibly ancient being with an ability to perceive the universe in ways far beyond human understanding, and they're feared by their enemies, even by the Daleks. They're even an EldritchAbomination to ''their own species'' of Eldritch Abominations because [[spoiler:they're also a mysterious entity from another dimension that even the Time Lords were unable to deduce anything about.]] And yet, they're (mostly) benevolent and ''love'' humanity and Earth, and will do anything to save their beloved adoptive planet.

* ''WebAnimation/ChiknNuggit'': Chikn Nuggit appears to be an adorable yellow "pubby", but frequently displays anomalous properties such as stretching his neck and ears, swapping his and Cheezborger the cat's species, and -- when deciding to "change things up" -- briefly appearing as a yellow mass of writhing tentacles and teeth. Even Iscream, a demonic eldritch entity themselves, is intimidated by Chikn.

** [[Characters/SCPFoundationSCP999 SCP-999]] is perhaps the best-known example of an anomalous SCP entity that is completely friendly and harmless, being an {{adorable|Abomination}} orange BlobMonster with an [[AllLovingHero omnibenevolent personality]], and has the ability to induce feelings of pure happiness in anyone it makes physical contact with. One popular story suggests that is is the [[spoiler:spawn of the Scarlet King, a DestroyerDeity whose other spawn notably includes (at least depending on the continuity) the unkillable and omnicidal lizard SCP-682]].

* ''{{Film/Glorious}}'': Ghatanothoa is a god or titan (though he acknowledges such human terms are insufficient to truly describe him) who was created by his "father" to wipe out all life in the universe when he enters the material realm, but was banished to the aether by his siblings. Ghat has grown rather fond of life and does not want to see it destroyed, making a sincere effort to befriend the human Wes to help him save the universe from his father. Only to do so requires Wes to satisfy Ghat physically...

* ''Website/SCPFoundation'':

** [[spoiler:Rei Ayanami]] is eventually revealed to be this. [[spoiler:Being a clone of Shinji's mother Yui imbued with the soul of the BlueAndOrangeMorality progenitor of humanity Lilith, she at first unknowingly enacts Gendo Ikari's plan to use her as a method of initiating Instrumentality by achieving ultimate power. While initially seemingly emotionless, she comes to grapple with an understanding of humanity and her care for Shinji, being resolved upon discovering her true nature from Kaworu[=/=]Adam. Upon understanding the disgusting moral reaches that Gendo went to and how he had emotionally manipulated both her and Shinji, she betrays him and puts the choice of Instrumentality into Shinji's hands under the impression he'd do the right thing. Shinji, having gone past a DespairEventHorizon, uses it to destroy humanity, but Rei still pleads with him to stop. While the creature she has fused into ultimately initiates Instrumentality, it's as a result of Shinji's decision and not her own. After the physical body of the creature she's fused into is destroyed by Shinji rejecting Instrumentality, [[HumanityIsInfectious her metaphysical form is shown to still be that of her human identity.]] ]]

* In the Franchise/CthulhuMythos, Yog-Sothoth, the Lurker at the Threshold, serves as one of these, to the point where he's almost a TokenGoodTeammate among his fellow Outer Gods. He [[TheOmnipresent exists simultaneously at all points in time and space]] and so [[TheOmniscient knows everything]], and is surprisingly willing to share that knowledge with his loyal followers. He's also known for having casual chats with human beings and even granted the occultist Randolph Carter a wish on one occasion. There are several stories where Yog-Sothoth is [[SummonBiggerFish invoked against less powerful deities]] as a protector; in Lovecraft's own final tale, "The Haunter of the Dark," the protagonist fervently prays to Yog-Sothoth to save him from the titular monster. Even Yog's appearance is less nightmarish than the other Eldritch Abominations: while they're monstrous, he takes the form of a series of glowing spheres. It's somewhat [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] in that Yog-Sothoth can still drive people insane and operates on BlueAndOrangeMorality--he's just generally nicer about it than the rest of the group.
* ''Literature/TitusCrow'': Kthanid, Cthulhu's brother, and the head of the Elder Gods, eldritch entities who are "the good guys" against the Outer Gods and Great Old Ones. He looks exactly like him, save the fact he has orange eyes. Whereas Cthulhu radiates evil, people in Kthanid's presence feel benevolence - and he backs it up by making sure to protect the title character, even if it requires some scheming.
* In general, the expanded Lovecraft universe has "Elder Gods", who are at best actively safeguarding humanity against Eldritch terrors and driving away unspeakable things (such as the God Nodens denying Nyarlathotep his victory in ''Literature/TheDreamQuestOfUnknownKadath''). At worst, they are indifferent to humanity but unwittingly protect them against worse things. The Pantheon includes [[Myth/EgyptianMythology Bast]] and [[Myth/JapaneseMythology Amaterasu]].

* ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'': While "abomination" is perhaps a bit of a stretch, the [[RiddleForTheAges incredibly mysterious]] Tom Bombadil fits the trope well. To begin with, no one's sure what the heck he even ''is''--he's definitely not a human, hobbit, wizard, elf, or any other known species. He claims to remember "the first raindrop and the first acorn," and it's hinted that he was around before Middle-Earth itself was created. Tom is also the most powerful creature in the entire world: the [[ArtifactOfDoom One Ring]] has no effect on him, and it's said that even if Sauron's forces took over the entirety of the world, Tom's home would be the last area to fall. For all his strength, though, Mr. Bombadil lives simply as a jolly, food-loving fellow who likes to tell stories, pick flowers for his wife Goldberry, and entertain guests with songs and stories...when he's not utterly destroying any monster who threatens those guests.

* ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'': [[spoiler:Kulkulkan]], who is one of your main allies for Lostbelt 7, turns out to be this. [[spoiler:She is the ripped out heart of ORT, the Ultimate One of the Oort Cloud. For the record, ORT is the most powerful being seen in ''Franchise/{{Nasuverse}}'', as it is some kind of immortal cosmic spider-like thing with {{Precognition}}, and unknown levels of intelligence, hellbent on destroying humanity. That ripped out heart bit? It took MILLIONS of years to accomplish. And now the heart serves as the Earth's ''new sun'']]. Fortunately for Chaldea, [[spoiler:Kulkulkan]] decided that she loves her namesake and life, and so she joins in as a GenkiGirl who is unquestionably your ally.
* ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'' is an almost indestructible being of ambiguous origin who can [[PowerCopying steal the abilities of others]] by eating them and repeatedly is shown to have likely limitless power. He is also a [[AdorableAbomination sweet-natured and happy-go-lucky glutton]] who [[NiceGuy never hesitates to help others]] and repeatedly protects existence from other actually evil abominations.

* In ''{{WesternAnimation/Amphibia}}'', [[spoiler:a CosmicEntity known as the Calamity Guardian appears in the final episode. They initially take the form of an outdated computer model, because they think that's how Anne's peers communicate. When Anne points out they're a few decades behind, they instead take the [[AFormYouAreComfortableWith form of Anne's cat Domino]]. Their true form is a [[EnergyBeing mass of incandescent transdimensional energy]], the mere presence of which [[YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm shakes entire planes of existence and drives people mad]]. Anne has a FreakOut merely catching a glimpse of it. Nevertheless, they're indeed a benevolent being, but have a habit of being BrutallyHonest and InnocentlyInsensitive, as well as [[NiceJobBreakingItHero not foreseeing how some inhabitants of Amphibia would abuse the Calamity Stones they have given them]] ([[GodIsFlawed and haven't really done much to stop them]]).]]

-->'''Santa:''' Stay... Good...

* Manga/GetterRobo: This is, more or less, the true nature of [[spoiler: the Getter Rays themselves]], who are without a doubt ''the'' most terrifying entity in the series but also firmly on humanity's side.

* ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'': [[spoiler:Kulkulkan]], who is one of your main allies for Lostbelt 7, turns out not to be this trope. [[spoiler:She is the ripped out heart of ORT, the Ultimate One of the Oort Cloud.

* ''Anime/HousingComplexC'': [[spoiler:Kimi Shirokado is heavily implied to be none other than Yog-Sothoth, trapping everyone on the island in a perpetual time loop... which is meant to serve as a utopia, and she has no ill will whatsoever. The only people she gruesomely kills are the Big Bad Duumvirate, the Koshide family, and while she becomes disappointed in humanity as a whole, she chooses to leave them rather than destroy them.]]

** [[spoiler:Rei]] is eventually revealed to be this. [[spoiler:Being a clone of Shinji's mother Yui imbued with the soul of the BlueAndOrangeMorality progenitor of humanity Lilith, she at first unknowingly enacts Gendo Ikari's plan to use her as a method of initiating Instrumentality by achieving ultimate power. While initially seemingly emotionless, she comes to grapple with an understanding of humanity and her care for Shinji, being resolved upon discovering her true nature from Kaworu[=/=]Adam.

** [[spoiler:Despite initially being an antagonist and set up in life to annihilate humanity by fusing with what he believed to be Adam, Kaworu also ends up becoming this, viewing humanity as more deserving to exist than angels and therefore sacrificing himself in the process. He also appears with Rei after Shinji rejects instrumentality, providing lines that demonstrate their benevolent natures.]]

* In ''LightNovel/HowNotToSummonADemonLord'', we have the [[MaouTheDemonKing Demon Lord]] Krebskulm. While she was just as evil as the other Demon Lords when [[SealedEvilInACan sealed away]], she underwent a HeelFaceTurn upon being unsealed.

* In ''Videogame/{{Starcraft}}'', the Xel'Naga are a mostly benevolent and aloof species of {{Precursors}} who seed life in the universe and then sit back to watch it grow and expand. The end goal is to develop a species with "purity of essence" (strong physical adaptability) and a species with "purity of form" (powerful psychic ability). [[spoiler: Those two species would then merge together to ascend and form a new Xel'Naga.]] The Xel'Naga themselves are massive, immortal creatures of colossal scale who resemble multi-eyed squid and whose primary bodies exist in the Void, separate from other physical universes. The majority of the Xel'Naga are benevolent beings, but [[spoiler: Amon, the BigBad of ''Videogame/StarcraftII'', seeks to end the cycle of Xel'Naga rebirth by annihilating all life because he believes it causes nothing but endless suffering.]]
