9	The animators did a pretty good job drawing the [[EldritchAbomination scariest creatures imaginable]].
10	----
11	* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'':
12	** Hunson Abadeer, an unkillable, hideous monstrosity who rules [[EldritchLocation the Nightosphere]] in a perpetual state of chaos and pain, has a OneWingedAngel form Lovecraft would have been proud of, and whose first order of business when he managed to escape was to [[YourSoulIsMine suck up the souls]] of everyone in Ooo. According to [[ComicBook/AdventureTime the comics]], he became ruler of the Nightosphere by deposing some even nastier abominations.
13	** [[Characters/AdventureTimeTheLich The Lich]], the closest thing the show has to a BigBad. He's a monstrous necromancer/''thing'' that looks like a rotting, horned corpse in its natural state and can possess mortals, wearing their corpses like suits. [[TimeAbyss He's existed for about a thousand years and doesn't appear to age in any manner]]. He is also an OmnicidalManiac who claims to be the personification of death and cannot feel empathy, seeking to destroy all life. What's most unsettling is that it's strongly implied that [[spoiler:he WasOnceAMan. Specifically, he was apparently a semi-normal person or creature who was hit by a magically enhanced warhead from the Great Mushroom War, which transformed him into the Lich]]. The Lich may very well have existed before even nothingness... but even if he didn't, he can provide some images of some horrible, horrific abominations from that not-time.
14	--->'''The Lich:''' Before there was time... before there was anything... there was nothing. [[TheDarkTimes And before there was nothing...]] there were ''monsters''.
15	** Bella Noche is "a being of pure AntiMagic" from another dimension. It first appears as a slimy green head, and upon entering our dimension it is a giant black cube that constantly expands and neutralizes the magic in anything it comes into contact with. Attempts to stop the expanding cube only caused it to expand and mutate further. [[spoiler:Doesn't stop Betty from defeating it by [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu punching it in the face]] since its true form is really a weak humanoid.]]
16	** The strange, shapeshifting, dimension-hopping, blue monster from the flashback episode "[[Recap/AdventureTimeS6E16JoshuaAndMargaretInvestigations Joshua and Margaret Investigations]]". [[spoiler:It is revealed that [[MisterSeahorse Jake was born from a lump on Joshua's head after he was bitten by this thing]]. This explains where Jake's powers came from]] and this likely means that he is an [[AnimalisticAbomination abomination himself]] and doesn't know it.
17	** [[spoiler:In "[[Recap/AdventureTimeS6E40Orgalorg Orgalorg]]", the titular creature is an Eldritch Abomination who was banished to Earth, possibly prior to the Great Mushroom War, and was compressed into a harmless form-a form we know as Gunter. During The Lich's speech about the "monsters" before time, Orgalorg can be seem among them, indicating that he is older than the universe.]]
18	** [[spoiler:The Catalyst Comet itself is revealed to be one in "[[Recap/AdventureTimeS6E43TheComet The Comet]]", although it wasn't malevolent.]]
19	** The being known as GOLB that cameos in a few episodes also counts, as he appears as a cosmic destroyer that comes around every once in a while, striking fear into even [[RealityWarper Magic Man]]. GOLB appears to have strange geometric shapes floating around him, and those he kills [[spoiler:([[FreudianExcuse Magic Man's wife]] among them) are either unaffected by magic, or erased from existence entirely.]] "[[Recap/AdventureTimeS9E13Whispers Whispers]]" heavily hints that [[spoiler:he may in fact be the series' GreaterScopeVillain, as [[BigBad the Lich himself]] describes himself as "the last scholar of GOLB"]]. In the GrandFinale, [[spoiler:GOLB becomes the ultimate threat to the Land of Ooo. He is revealed to be [[GodOfChaos the very embodiment of chaos itself]], and is shown creating a lesser EldritchAbomination out of an entire army just by releasing his BreathWeapon. He can also "digest" people by breaking them down to their original forms.]]
20	* ''WesternAnimation/AngelWars'': In one episode, the angels-in-training try to travel underground to avoid being detected by demons patrolling a city. While underground, they confront a monster made of trash that attempts to eat them. Unlike other monsters in the series that're implied to be manifestations of negative human emotions, there isn't even any implication about what this monster is, why it's there, or why it's acting as if it can get nourishment from eating an angel.
21	* ''WesternAnimation/Ben10UltimateAlien'':
22	** Lucubra, the main antagonist of the episode "The Creature From Beyond" [[spoiler:and one of the breed of monstrous minions to the BigBad of the season, Dagon]]. This extra-dimensional horror boasts SuperStrength, NighInvulnerability, [[EnergyWeapon Frickin' Laser Beams]], and the power to devour a person's thoughts with MindControl as a bonus.
23	** Dagon. It's held behind the same seal as Lucubra, but is ''much'' worse (Gwen says compared to Dagon, Lucubra is an ''insect!''). In the next episode, they're actually shown the Dagon, and while the audience doesn't see it ([[TrailersAlwaysSpoil though commercials very clearly show him]]), Gwen and Kevin react to seeing him as if they were ''in pain''. [[http://ben10.wikia.com/wiki/Dagon Just take a look.]] He comes from another dimension, is referred to as an "Old One" by Charmcaster, and has enough power to match and defeat a powered up Way Big (one of Ben's most powerful aliens, if not THE most powerful).
24	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Centaurworld}}'' has [[spoiler:the Nowhere King, a strange, gigantic monster resembling [[AnimalisticAbomination a cross between a deer and a wasp]] made of OminousObsidianOoze. It's not clear ''what'' exactly it is yet, but it's rather disturbingly implied to have [[WasOnceAMan started off a normal centaur]] and is implied by its VillainSong to desire the complete annihilation of all life on both Horse's homeland and Centaurworld]].
25	* ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog'' has a few. Horst’s Box Demon is an inexplicably BiggerOnTheInside ChestMonster. The episode "Muted Muriel" features a destructive giant starfish as the result of a curse. And The Spirit of the Harvest Moon is a [[MindOverMatter telekinetic]] DemonHead that defies comprehension, save for his vehement desire for Eustace to grow something.
26	* ''Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse'':
27	** ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'':
28	*** The titular entity from "[[Recap/SupermanTheAnimatedSeriesS3E10Unity Unity]]" is a HiveMind alien blob thing that uses a creepy preacher as its primary avatar, turning [[spoiler:Smallville]] into a TownWithADarkSecret and nearly absorbing all of the townsfolk into itself.
29	*** In the comics, Ian Karkull is a guy with shadow powers, but in this, it's like the writers didn't know if they wanted Cthulhu or Satan and so ''combined them''. A common hood gets his hand on a tablet and reads it aloud. ''Bad'' idea. He becomes the host to a shadowy tentacled ''something'' that wants to create HellOnEarth and basically overwrites the Daily Planet with his own unreality, everyone caught within, Lois and Jimmy included, becoming possessed and transformed by the demonic creatures that live there. There's a seemingly bottomless pit in the center. In the end, Superman has to chase the dropped tablet (ComicBook/DoctorFate needs the original tablet to undo it all) down this pit, and it turns out that if you go far enough, farther than the eye can see from the surface, the pit ''does'' have a bottom. The bottom ''has a mouth''. The bottom is also '''rising'''.
30	** In the two-part ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' episode "[[Recap/JusticeLeagueS2E15And16TheTerrorBeyond The Terror Beyond]]", Superman and Co. go fight [[LawyerFriendlyCameo Ichthultu]]. A giant alien monstrosity not bound by time or space going up against a group of superheroes in a work that sits firmly on the Idealistic side of the SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism? The [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu beatdown]] was the source of much awesomeness. For extra fun, said Abomination is voiced by Music/RobZombie.
31	* ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'': The interdimensional beast "Jojo" in "Mandarker". He apparently helped Mandark write the book ''The Magic of Science by Mandark and Jojo'', but when Mandark summons him as part of a science fair project, he goes berserk and tries to eat Dee Dee.
32	* ''WesternAnimation/FinalSpace'':
33	** Mooncake is a [[AdorableAbomination cute flying green ball]] that appeared after John Goodspeed closed the gap leading to [[EldritchLocation Final Space]].
34	** The Arachnitects are [[GiantSpider giant]] [[MechanicalAbomination mechanical]] [[AnimalisticAbomination spiders]] that created the universe.
35	** This also includes the Beings of Unimaginable Light, the creators of the Arachnitects, about whom nothing is really known.
36	** The Titans are a race of cosmic beings created by the Arachnitects, but distorted by Invictus, as a result of which they are trapped in Final Space.
37	** [[SatanicArchetype Invictus]] is an ancient, out of nowhere evil that is responsible for the distortion of the Titans. It takes the form of an incorporeal demonic head and is described as a creature of pure darkness.
38	** [[AnimalisticAbomination Werthrent]] is a terrifying, serpentine deity from another dimension who was worshiped on Ash's home planet. People who are consumed by it are [[AndIMustScream kept alive]] in a pocket dimension in its stomach, where it feeds on their wellness.
39	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'':
40	** Yivo from "[[Recap/FuturamaM2TheBeastWithABillionBacks The Beast with a Billion Backs]]", a genderless (it prefers to be referred as "shklee" or "shkler"/"shklim") GeniusLoci with one eye and thousands of tentacles the size of a very large planet that [[DidYouJustRomanceCthulhu attempts to romance with the entire universe]]. However, Yivo is a ''friendly'' cosmic horror that really only seeks to be in a relationship with somebody (or in this case, everybody). The friendly aspect may not be entirely true, due to the fact that it was using all of its tentacles to engage in a form of reproduction with everyone they were attached to. Which boils down to the fact that this creature borerline ''raped'' almost every living being in the universe.
41	--->'''Yivo''': [[NeverMyFault Your universe dresses provocatively]].
42	** [[GreaterScopeVillain The Brain Spawn]] could certainly count. These giant flying brains were born only a few miliseconds after the universe came into existence. They despise all other lifeforms and visit planets to drain everyone of their intelligence before destroying it. When not destroying other worlds, they collect information from them to be stored in a gigantic member of their kind, and then intend to [[OmnicidalManiac destroy the universe]] once it is done, so that no new information will exist.
43	** The eponymous SpaceWhale from "[[Recap/FuturamaS6E15MobiusDick Möbius Dick]]" could certainly count. It is an enormous leviathan that is actually native to the fourth dimension, but "breaches" into ours because it breathes the vacuum of space. It also has a Mobius colon and feeds on the obsessions of the space captains who hunt it, slowly absorbing them into its own mass.
44	* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'':
45	** An EasterEgg in the episode "[[Recap/GravityFallsS1E8IrrationalTreasure Irrational Treasure]]" lists on the top-secret Northwest Cover-Up document that there is an enormous, evil, time-devouring baby from another dimension [[SealedEvilInACan that is frozen in an Antarctic glacier]]. "[[Recap/GravityFallsS1E9TheTimeTravelersPig The Time Traveler's Pig]]" reveals that the "Time Baby", as its mortal supplicants dub it, is eventually released and conquers the world... or at least establishes the TimePolice.
46	** Bill Cipher, a [[SinisterGeometry triangle-shaped]], [[PaperPeople two-dimensional]], [[RealityWarper reality-warping]] [[OurDemonsAreDifferent demon]] who interacts with the dimension Earth by [[DreamWalker appearing in people's dreams]]. [[spoiler:The 3-D form that he takes after breaking into the physical world in "[[Recap/GravityFallsS2E18Weirdmageddon Weirdmageddon]]" is an even better fit than his standard 2-D form.]]
47	** In "[[Recap/GravityFallsS2E18Weirdmageddon Weirdmageddon]]", we get to meet Bill's friends, who are also Eldritch Abominations: 8-Ball, Kryptos, [[SpeakOfTheDevil The Being Whose Name Must Never Be Said]][[note]]Aww, what the heck? It's Xanthar.[[/note]], Teeth, Keyhole, Hectorgon, Amorphous Shape, Pyronica, Pacifier, and the eye bats.[[note]][[MyFriendsAndZoidberg Dubbed by Bill as "these guys".]][[/note]]
48	* ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'':
49	** The Nergals, especially Junior. In addition to [[VoluntaryShapeshifting shapeshifting]], he can walk through walls, freeze people in stasis, and spawn bat-like imps from his own body. His true form is so hideous that they didn't even show it onscreen until it (ostensibly) appeared in "The Greatest Love Story Ever Told Ever". Note that Junior isn't ''always'' evil. (If you don't make him angry, he can be somewhat decent.)
50	** Cthulhu and an {{Expy}} of Yog-Sothoth also made appearances.
51	** Mandy herself is often treated like and heavily implied to actually be some kind of cosmic horror.
52	* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Hilda}}'' reveals that witches banish people to [[EldritchLocation the Void of No Return]] for [[DisproportionateRetribution overdue library books]] because otherwise, the void gets hungry and starts to reach long black arms covered in eyes and mouths into the world.
53	* ''WesternAnimation/IHeartArlo'' gives us the Bog Lady, a witchy {{Planimal}} with moss hair and leaf skin, who commits herself to all life in the Louisiana swamp where Arlo was raised all his life, and insists everything goes the way they should. She happened to take an interest in Arlo most of all, as she secretly protected him ever since he first came to the swamp as a baby, and he didn't even know of her existence. When Edmée let Arlo leave the swamp for New York City after his fifteenth birthday, this infuriated the Bog Lady over losing the one thing she watched over, and thus casts a dark curse on the swamp, holds Edmée captive as bait, and lures Arlo back to the swamp to get him to apologize for leaving her and never do it again.
54	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Inhumanoids}}'' revolves around the heroic "Earth Corps" fighting against ancient, {{kaiju}}-like horrors from the center of the Earth. The three main antagonists are Metlar (a giant mineral-based demon who throws globs of molten rock/iron at his foes), D'Compose (a rotting zombie dinosaur who can revive the dead and turn the living into decaying zombie slaves with a touch) and Tendril (a Cthulhu-like [[WhenTreesAttack plant-monster]]). Others appear in several episodes, like Gagoyle and Ssslither, while the recurring foe Nightcrawler is a HumanoidAbomination created by D'Compose from the corpse of a human enemy.
55	* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/MovilleMysteries'' reveals that the school janitor is a former AdventurerArchaeologist who has one these (all we see of it are red tentacles) [[SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan sealed]] in [[EvilHand his big toe]].
56	* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
57	** [[Characters/FriendshipIsMagicDiscord Discord]] is an [[GodOfChaos embodiment of chaos]] with [[MixAndMatchCritter parts from many animals]] who dwells in an EldritchLocation. His powers are completely uncontrollable by anyone less chaotic than him, and have once opened a portal to a live-action puppet dimension. His powers also allow him to, among other things: [[RealityWarper break the laws of reality]], MindRape the protagonists, bring villains back from the dead, and easily NoSell King Sombra's attacks.
58	** There's also the [[{{Wendigo}} Windigos]], otherworldly creatures that [[EmotionEater feed on]] [[ThePowerOfHate hatred]] that are apparently unkillable and are so mysterious that many ponies thought they didn't even exist. The inhabitants of Equestria are essentially held hostage by them because the second they stop being nice to each other, the Windigos come back into existence and [[EvilIsDeathlyCold freeze the land]]. They greatly resemble Ithaqua, a beast that came from the mind of Creator/HPLovecraft himself.
59	** The Tatzlwurm is a bizarre SandWorm-esque creature that lives underneath a [[ToweringFlower massive flower]] at the edge of Equestria. Even Discord has no idea what it is, and when it sneezed on him [[spoiler:he got sick. Discord, the RealityWarper who knows things he never had the opportunity to learn, is completely shocked by it]].
60	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Ninjago}}'':
61	** The Great Devourer, which was worshiped by the Serpentine Tribes. It's said that if unleashed, it'll consume the world in TheNightThatNeverEnds.
62	** The OverLord is much worse, he is an ancient entity [[MadeOfEvil made from darkness]] who is behind most of the villains in the series, including The Great Devourer herself, and The Overlord simply can't be destroyed [[AsLongAsThereIsEvil as long as there is darkness]].
63	** The Preeminent, the DimensionLord [[spoiler:([[GeniusLoci and actual dimension]])]] of the Cursed Realm whose goal is to curse all realms, is a tentacled {{Oculothorax}} who [[spoiler:appears as a {{Kaiju}} in the finale and uses ghost-ified houses and buildings to enhance her physical form, giving herself limbs]].
64	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Pibby}}'': The trailer sets up the series' main antagonist: a formless, [[OminousVisualGlitch glitchy]] mass that invades various worlds and relentlessly consumes anything it can touch. If someone gets [[TheAssimilator assimilated]] into it, they become a part of it -- either their face appears on its body or they become one of its minions, sporting an eerie grin and glitch-marred facial features in both cases. (Several shots depict it with a lower FPS than anything else in the scene to further indicate how alien it is.)
65	* ''WesternAnimation/TheGhostAndMollyMcGee'' has The Chairman as its [[BigBad Big Bad]], he is a mysterious entity who is the leader of the Ghost Council and ruler of the Ghost World who forces other ghosts to be miserable and scare living people, if a ghosts fails to do their job, they will be punished by being sent for an eternity to the [[FateWorseThanDeath Flow Of Failed Phantoms]]. [[spoiler: [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu Molly defeats him at the end of season one by overriding his misery with her joy, disintegrating the undead abomination]].]]
66	* ''WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters'':
67	** The Ghostbusters take on Cthulhu in "The Collect Call of Cthulhu". According to Egon Spengler, the infamous elder god "makes [[Film/Ghostbusters1984 Gozer the Gozerian]] look like Little Mary Sunshine". Of course, [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu Punching out Cthulhu]] is pretty much their job description.
68	** There was also the unnamed Old One from the subsequent episode "Russian About", complete with evil {{Cult}} and TomeOfEldritchLore.
69	** Mee-Krah might just count. A giant of an abomination which fed on the ectoplasmic energies of ghosts. Once sated it would fall into hibernation for a thousand years. However, as it fed its body temperature would rise, destroying the environment surrounding it. Egon theorized it was responsible for the creation of the Gobi desert.
70	* ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' has one where Benson's boss, Mr. Maellard demotes him and introduces the new park manager who goes by the name of Susan. But after she fires Benson who proves to be an ever bigger slacker than Mordecai and Rigby, which he decides to get his job back after he discovers how bad it feels to be jobless, he discovers that [[spoiler: Susan has been commanding the Park Managers until they begin to [[BodyHorror look just like her]] and [[BadBoss follow her every command]]. And after they turn back to normal thanks to Benson, Susan's [[RageBreakingPoint breaking point has reached a limit]] and then she summons [[OneWingedAngel a giant version of herself]] to crush the employees into obedience. If it wasn't for [[EveryoneHasStandards Mr. Maellard discovering the horrible things Susan is doing that shouldn't be part of the business]], causing him to give Benson his job back and his car keys and have Leon drive the limo to [[AttackItsWeakPoint break the heels off of Susan's shoes]] which forces Susan to fall into the hole where she is [[VisualPun literally fired]], then she would have [[KilledOffForReal killed off]] all the main characters of the show with the prison building she was holding.]]
71	* In ''WesternAnimation/SabrinaTheAnimatedSeries'', when Sabrina, Harvey and Salem are trapped inside Harvey's comic book world, they encounter an entity known as the Dreaded Dysphilia. It appears as a flying blob of fungus that erases everything in its path forever, and Harvey's negative self-esteem makes it bigger. That's right -- a monster that is powered by the negative self-esteem of a ''teenager''. What's more is that it's completely alien to the comic book world -- Harvey didn't even create it.
72	* In the backstory of ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'', the gods, Odin, Vishnu and Ra, hunted and defeated Evil itself, a [[OminousObsidianOoze black mass]] of pure ''nothing''. A single fragment survived and fell to Earth and eventually becoming another eldritch horror known as [[Characters/SamuraiJackAku Aku]], a vaguely HumanoidAbomination of [[MadeOfEvil pure evil]] with [[VoluntaryShapeshifting shapeshifting powers]] and immunity against all conventional weaponry. The only thing that can truly hurt [[spoiler:and kill]] him is the [[CoolSword divine sword]] that's wielded by [[TheHero the titular hero]].
73	* The Evil Entity of ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated'' is an evil annunaki, which are extradimensional beings that usually communicate by possessing animals. Nibiru spends most of the series [[SealedEvilInACan sealed in a coffin]], but still manipulates the creation of mystery solving groups and either attracts or creates the various crooks in costumes, as well as [[TheCorruption stealing and imprisoning the best parts]] of people that live in Crystal Cove. When released, it [[HellOnEarth unleashes hell and animal headed minions on the town]] and [[ToServeMan starts eating the residents]], swearing to [[OmnicidalManiac eat entire galaxies and eventually the universe]]. Yes, the offspring of Satan and Cthulhu made an appearance on a ''Scooby-Doo'' show.
74	%%* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'':
75	%%** The Wall-Mart store chain, which exists [[AsLongAsThereIsEvil As Long As There Is Capitalism]].
76	%%** In "Coon 2: Hindsight" and "Mysterion Rises", DP (formerly BP) drill into another dimension and release Cthulhu.
77	* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' has the Cluster, a fusion of millions of Gem shards, created by the Diamonds to be a superweapon that would destroy Earth. Its projection appears to be an enormous mass of faces and hands, and it [[VoiceOfTheLegion speaks in millions of voices at once]]. Their voices entering Steven's mind was enough to painfully overwhelm him. Its true form was revealed in the official artbook as a massive, horrific creature with [[TooManyMouths countless mouths]] and [[EyesDoNotBelongThere eyes]], serving as this page's image.
78	* ''WesternAnimation/SuperRobotMonkeyTeamHyperforceGo'':
79	** The end of Season 2 reveals the existence of the Dark Ones, beings trapped in another dimension (except for the ones [[SealedEvilInACan buried in the cores of some planets]]) that would [[OmnicidalManiac destroy all life]] if given the chance. They're also the {{Greater Scope Villain}}s of the series, being the ones who [[TheCorruption created]] the [[BigBad Skeleton King]] in the first place.
80	** A few of the [[MonsterOfTheWeek Monsters of the Week]] could count as this as well.
81	* ''WesternAnimation/TangledTheSeries'' has the true BigBad, Zhan Tiri. [[spoiler:It's indicated that she [[WasOnceAMan was human]] long ago, and spending millennia in the [[EldritchLocation Lost Realm]] turned her into a huge demonic monstrosity with a vaguely goat-like head, [[GlowingEyesOfDoom glowing eyes]], and a lower half full of tentacles. She also has [[VoluntaryShapeshifting shapeshifting abilities]] and can turn into anything, including a blizzard that nearly wiped out the entire kingdom of Corona. Even while trapped in her Enchanted Girl form, she could still invade people's dreams and, as shown in "[[Recap/TangledTheSeriesS3E16OnceAHandmaiden Once a Handmaiden...]]", can apparently send people disturbing visions when they touch her.]]
82	* The final episode of ''WesternAnimation/TenkoAndTheGuardiansOfTheMagic'' has a man try to release a soul-devouring MadeOfEvil monstrosity that he claims is the source of every culture's apocalypse myths, with a testament to its power being the destruction of {{Atlantis}}.
83	* {{Retcon}}s to the ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' backstory turned the [[PlanetEater planet-eating]] Unicron into an Eldritch Abomination, not only giving him the power to move between dimensions and universes, but also insinuating that a piece of his dark soul inhabits all of the Transformers since the beginning, meaning that any one of them could turn into a servant to his apocalyptic hunger. His [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lo7JPLJUUU first appearance]] in ''WesternAnimation/TransformersTheMovie'' shows how abominable he is when he devours a throwaway planet in all its gruesome detail in a way that reeks of a CosmicHorrorStory. Shots of his bizarre pseudo-biological inner workings make his strangeness even more pronounced.
84	** He does ''not'' [[PlanetEater eat planets]] for sustenance -- he gets ''that'' from [[AsLongAsThereIsEvil hatred and strife]], and will exist so long as these things do. No, he eats planets because he's offended by existence. All of it. So he's trying to eat it. All of it. Every dimension. He's already devoured approximately 20% of all known existence in TheMultiverse and is eager to continue his binge. When he's done, ''space itself as we know it'' will be ''eaten''. He apparently [[ApocalypseHow once destroyed reality itself]], and the only reason that anything exists at all is because he missed a couple of fragments and fell asleep, allowing them to rebuild.
85	** In ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'', Dark Energon is revealed to be Unicron's blood. This is a substance that makes anyone that uses it hear Unicron's thoughts, gives them a serious power boost, causes feelings of intense nausea and illness upon first contact (though eventually it is possible to build up a resistance), almost kills a human ([[spoiler:Raf, to be exact]]), and resurrects dead Transformers as mindless berserkers, allowing living ones with enough Dark Energon to control them [[spoiler:unless Dark Energon is mixed with something such as synthetic energon]]. If his blood can do that...
86	** Dark Energon isn't the only version of Unicron's blood that did horrifying things; Angolmois (From ''Anime/BeastWarsII''. Dark Energon is basically Angolmois by another name, though the makers of ''VideoGame/TransformersWarForCybertron'' say it's pure coincidence.) is liquid chaos, causing completely random and often puzzling effects. In the comics, it made someone into a Herald without them even realizing it, mutating them into monsters that frothed green and granting extreme amounts of power.
87	** The Swarm in ''Transformers: Generation 2'' was born from a long-lost ritual of Transformer reproduction that their god Primus never intended them to retain, and is obsessed with destroying all mechanical life in the known universe.
88	** The big reveal of ''Anime/TransformersArmada'' is that [[spoiler:the Mini-cons are created from Unicron's cells]]. Keep in mind how powerful ''they'' are, especially when brought together. EarthShatteringKaboom power in the right combination, and this [[spoiler:magic, pretty 'song' they do]]. It's all part of ''him''.
89	** The Vok from Beast Wars, a race of incomprensibly powerful beings who's motives are very mysterious and who rarely show up and have technology that baffles the Autobots and Decepticons. They supposedly serve the One and have an interest in Earth and humanity seeding Energon on the planet for them to use and are apparently related to or were the Swarm.
90	** The Elder Gods, a race of cold, alien, and evil intelligences that exist in the non-spacetime of swirling anti-matter "outside" our universe dwarfing even Unicron in terms of power, their limitless abilities are kept in check only by their inscrutable motivations and indifference to the affairs of lesser beings that exist in what we so arrogantly call "reality". Also, H.P. Lovecraft once encountered them, which inspired him to make them the basis of his novels.
91	** From the Transformers G1 cartoon we have Tornedron created by Primacron after Unicron betrayed him. Composed entirely of energy, Tornedron is a being capable of taking any form it chooses and can feed on all manner of energy from anything in the known universe, and is capable of splitting its form into numerous pieces to hunt multiple prey at once, and then reforming.
92	** There's Hytherion, also known as the "Beast of Time", who is a hyper-dimensional creature of immense power and destructive potential, capable of traveling freely throughout the Multiverse. Composed of interdimensional matter, Hytherion's feeds on time itself, is known to have devoured entire universes,(apparently it's function is to consume weakened and damaged universes, preventing their chaos from spreading further into the multiverse), is normally invisible and intangible to lower-dimensional beings and it is prophesied that a version of Megatron will lead the creature to destroy Earth one day.
93	** There is also the D-Void, a mysterious dark entity that resides within the shadows of A dead, lifeless universe and is the personification of it. A mass of eyes and black tentacles, this creature seeks to devour all life on entire worlds in order to satiate its hunger, but is unable to leave it's own Universe without outside help. It is described as being an unbelievably powerful being with the capacity to return the spark to a deceased Transformer, control the minds of robotic beings and drain energy from Cybertronians to feed on them.
94	* ''WesternAnimation/TheTrapDoor'' is full of these things (including the main character's employer). Some of them really quite nightmarish. [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids It's an 80's British claymation kids' show]].
95	** [[spoiler: Going into more detail on said employer, we never, and we mean never get a good look at what it is. He’s called “The Thing Upstairs” and it’s a total mystery on what he even looks like. From what we can gather he has a booming deep voice, wings, teeth that constantly fall out, and is possibly one of the most disgusting, hideous things you’d ever have the misfortune of seeing. At one point we get a FreezeFrameBonus when lightning strikes one episode and we see a part of him and it’s just a mass of rancid, rotting flesh. Bear in mind that’s just a brief glimpse of a part of him.]]
96	* ''WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder'':
97	** The Black Cube of Darkness is essentially ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin -- a [[SinisterGeometry floating black cube]] that speaks in Latin gibberish and is capable of sucking out your soul. His first appearance gives no explanation for its existence and none of the characters even address it directly, which makes it all the more hilarious. The Season 2 episode "[[Recap/WanderOverYonderS2E10TheBlackCubeTheEyeOnTheSkullship The Black Cube]]" goes into much more detail about him and his life.
98	** A giant space demon known as Tormato appears very briefly in the episode "[[Recap/WanderOverYonderS1E20TheFunkTheEnemies The Funk]]", in which it proceeds to skewer several planets on a spike and barbecue them.
99	** Ms. Myrtle the Eternal Turtle definitely qualifies. She's a planet-sized, elderly tortoise with the power to destroy the universe on a whim. She is also implied to be in control of the Galaxy's very fabric of existence. Thankfully for everyone, she's fairly pleasant (if a bit bad-tempered), and a close friend of Wander's.
100	* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheWildThornberrys'' set in Africa has Eliza and Darwin venture into a forbidden patch of the jungle where a demon, monster, or something even worse supposedly dwells. The seemingly supernatural events that occur throughout the episode ''could'' be regarded as Eliza simply hallucinating from panic and fear... [[RealAfterAll until the very end]].
101	* ''WesternAnimation/XMenTheAnimatedSeries'' has the Spirit Drinker. (It exists in [[ComicBook/XMen the comics]], but the animated version fits the bill better.[[note]]The comic version was a BigLippedAlligatorMoment where a guy summoned it to attack Lilandra, who was 'ported away by Nightcrawler, leaving it to accidentally take out another {{Mook}} and then vanish as it can only take one soul per summon. Replace it with one more grunt with a blaster and not much changes. It appears once more in a everyone-sees-their-worst-fears situation; naturally, the summoner's worst fear is his pet turning on him.[[/note]]) Trapped in a spaceship that was then launched into deep space was the only way the Shi'ar could get rid of it, and when the villains of the week tried to get their hands on the mysterious cargo, they, and the X-Men, find themselves up against a terrifying and constantly re-forming {{Energy Being\|s}} with three tongue-tentacles that will steal your soul (causing the ''lovely'' image of the soul's owner appearing in its shifting not-flesh begging you for either help or to run and save yourself.) When Jean tried to read its mind, what she saw was so horrible that she was left in actual, physical agony because its mind was just ''that'' repellent (you could've taken it as a simple predatory animal until then, but no -- ItCanThink, and you don't want to know ''what'' it thinks. Also, it's quite capable of strategizing.) It's as solid as it wants to be, can melt through walls, need only get a brief tongue-hold to [[YourSoulIsMine earn its name]], and gains strength with each new victim -- if it had gotten out of the tunnels and into the city proper, it would've been unstoppable. The list of things that scares ''Lady Deathstrike'' is ''very'' short, but this earned a place.
