** The Rachni queen you meet on Noveria also calls herself the "mother." [[spoilers: However, [[SubvertedTrope she's not evil]].]]

* Ma Fratelli from ''TheGoonies''.

* Mother Slime in ''KingdomOfLoathing''.

* ''{{Galerians}}'' has the supercomputer Dorothy, who is referred to as Mother by her children.
* In ''DragonAge'', you have the extravaganza that is the broodmother. In ''Awakening'' [[spoiler: you meet "The Mother" - the first of her kind.]]

* ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'' has a variant with [[GirlScoutsAreEvil the Den Mother]], the boss of the MilkmanConspiracy.

* Mother from ''{{Psycho}}'' - if not the trope maker, then definitely a popularizer.

* All of the ruling demons in the latter half of ''StrangeJourney'' are "Mother"-type demons, based on over-arching entities like Tiamat and Ouroboros. The final demon is "Mem Aleph," the mother of thought and the "memory of the earth."

* There is a song by Danzig called "Mother" and it is musical gothariffic NightmareFuel.

* The Qedeshah, a bloodline of vampires from ''VampireTheRequiem,'' is imbued with a strong mothering instinct. Members of the bloodline with high Humanity and willpower tend to be kind and caring, but as one of these slides down the [[KarmaMeter Humanity scale]], they start to resemble this trope more and more. It doesn't help that they have trouble siring their own childer, with all male versions [[NightmareFuel dying in a very unpleasant manner]]. And you had better hope you don't [[ActionMom hurt one of their "children"...]]

* In ''DragonAge'', you have the HighOctaneNightmareFuel extravaganza that is the broodmother. In ''Awakening'' [[spoiler: you meet "The Mother" - the first of her kind.]]

* Mother Brain in ''ChronoTrigger''. Not quite certain why it [[NamesTheSame shares a name]] with the ''{{Metroid}}'' example.

* The WebOriginal/SCPFoundation: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/SCP-597 SCP-597]], referred to as "The Mother" by those it enslaves -- well, at first, anyway.

* ''{{Psychonauts}}'' has a variant with [[GirlScoutsAreEvil the Den Mother]], the boss of the MilkmanConspiracy.

* Mother of ''[[WildArms1 Wild ARMs]]'' is the BigBad and OmnicidalManiac leader of the demons.

* The SCPFoundation: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/SCP-597 SCP-597]], referred to as "The Mother" by those it enslaves -- well, at first, anyway.

* The witch from ''{{Rapunzel}}'' is traditionally named Mother Gothel. In ''{{Tangled}}'', she's a MyBelovedSmother who psychologically manipulates her daughter into staying with her for life so that her source of immortality (Rapunzel's hair) will always be close.

* Mom from TheBindingOfIsaac, commanded by her Lord to offer Isaac as a sacrifice. She is the FinalBoss. [[spoiler:Her heart is the TrueFinalBoss.]]

* Elizabeth Greene in ''{{Prototype}}'' has the in-game codename of "MOTHER".

* The ship computer in ''{{Alien}}'' was MU-THR 182 or something like that. And it wasn't the villain, nah, it was just programmed by the Weyland-Yutani Company (who we all know are eeeeeevil). If anything, Ash turned out to be a sort of villain.

* Mother Gothel from {{Tangled}}.
* Averted in {{Sneakers}}--Dan Aykroyd's character was named "Mother", but was a good guy.

** Interestingly, one of the ''{{Animorphs}}'' spinoffs had had an intermediate villain named "Father."
