{{Eldritch Abomination}}s in {{Webcomics}}.

----

* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'':
** The Horrorterrors of the [[EldritchLocation Furthest Ring]] befit the classic definition of vast monsters of varying forms of hideousness and deformity, with plenty of tentacles. There's probably hundreds of them, arranged in several tiers of power, the strongest being the Noble Circle of Horrorterrors. They can communicate with the Derse dreamers of every session of Sburb and are intended to provide some level of guidance. In the kids' session, [[BlackMagicianGirl Rose]] - previously well-read in their lore - channels their power through her Thorns of Oglogoth and it proves to have a less-than-desirable effect on her sanity.
*** [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004748 This is pretty much what they look like.]] Watch it until the very end. And keep in mind, something is somehow mass-murdering these things.
** Feferi, [[OurTrollsAreDifferent one of the trolls]], was raised by one. It provides the image for this page.
** [[spoiler:Lord English]], the thing that is killing the Horrorterrors, is a time-traveling demon who feeds on dead universes, and [[TimeAbyss has lived through every universe, ever]]. Then we find out [[spoiler:he's just another player in the game.]]
* ''Webcomic/OwMySanity'' features an UnwantedHarem of powerful beings from Lovecraft... who take human female forms.
* ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'':
** Coyote is a phenomenally powerful RealityWarper, even by the standards of a setting where magic and {{magitek}} is everywhere, who casually plucks the moon from the sky and doesn't even maintain the same shape between panels. When Annie sees Coyote [[spoiler:in the ether]] he can best be described as a starry night sky with ''lots'' of [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily teeth]] and [[ExtraEyes eyes]], and she rightly describes him as [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=677 "magnificent and terrifying"]].
** [[spoiler:[[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=1051 Kat's etheric form]]]], as viewed by Zimmy.
** [[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/SchlockMercenary'' has the [[spoiler:Paa'nuri]] (with a mobile apostrophe), entities made entirely of [[spoiler:Dark Matter]] and only detectable by traditional matter through the gravitational disturbances they generate and also used as weapons. [[spoiler:Only ever "seen" on a gravy-screen, where it looks like [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2012-12-16 a mass of tentacles the size of a planet]].]] It's implied by one joke that either their term for other races translates directly as "annoying" or they don't actually have a word for other races and just call them annoying.
* In ''DominicDeegan'', the Beast appears to be this at first - it granted the Infernomancer his {{Lovecraftian Superpower}}s and appears as a gigantic eye, with tentacles and many, many teeth, and is effectively invisible to Dominic's Second Sight. Dominic, one of the most powerful seers alive and a master of mental combat, further empowered by Luna's BlackMagic, was barely able to fight off a tiny fragment of the Beast that tried to claim [[spoiler:Celesto Morgan]]'s soul. [[SubvertedTrope However, it was soon revealed to have all-too-comprehensible origins and psychology, and was eventually squashed.]]
* Cthulhu is included in a list of (otherwise real) horrifying sea creatures in ''MandatoryRollerCoaster''.
* ''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]] two measly gates. He's depicted as nothing but lines of blue and purple energy in a very vaguely humanoid form.
* The Cultists in ''[[Webcomic/EightBitTheater 8-bit Theater]]'' worship and summon eldritch abominations on a regular basis: first, there's a nameless creature referred to as an "eye-stalk" which [[MindRape mind rapes]] anyone that makes eye contact with it (in addition to transporting the victim to its own pocket dimension). Then there's major enemy Ur/Jnn'efur, who fits the "fragment of the true being" bill.
** [[spoiler:Endgame enemy Chaos is definitely this.]]
%% * And then, there's ''TheUnspeakableVaultOfDoom''. [[CatchPhrase Yum Yum!]] ED NOTE: OKAY SERIOUSLY, SOMEONE EXPAND ON THIS
* ''{{Shadowgirls}}'' takes direct inspiration from Lovecraft for its portrayal of the occult, most obviously in the character of Mother Hydra.
* The first radio play in ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' mentions extradimensional abominations coming out of a well, [[PokeThePoodle leading directly to low rents]].
* Though they don't really appear in the comic proper, [[http://missmab.com/Demo/Cubi04.php this tidbit concerning cubi dream surfing]] reveals that these creatures do exist in the world of ''DanAndMabsFurryAdventures''.
-->'''Fa'lina:''' Cubi aren't the only creatures who can lurk into dreams...
* Gravehouse of ''[[http://www.necessarymonsters.com Necessary Monsters]]'' turns out to be much more tentacle-monstery than the human he looks like. ([[spoiler:"I crawled into his body and ate him up from the inside out. Until all that was left was skin and memory. Tell me... would you like to meet the real me?]]")
* ''DMOfTheRings'': [[http://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=1168 "never try to scare a Call of Cthulhu player"]]
* Played with occasionally in Kris Straub's ''{{Chainsawsuit}}''. The designer of ''VideoGame/{{Braid}}'' [[http://chainsawsuit.com/2008/08/20/strip-45/ is one of them]], though quite an approachable one.
* ''TheNonAdventuresOfWonderella'' has its particular CaptainErsatz of Starro:
-->'''Wonderella:''' Meet [[http://nonadventures.com/2007/02/03/victorian-secret/ Spirral.]] Duder's a 300-story ''thingy'' who travels the galaxy, mind-controlling millions with his Spirral Spores.
* Some of Lovecraft's Elder Gods make an appearance in the [[http://www.pholph.com/strip.php?id=5&sid=507 Games We Play In Hell]] arc of ''Webcomic/{{Jack}}''.
* In ''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.
* [[Website/{{Bogleech}} The Insidious Bogleech]] uses the idea frequently (albeit buried amongst many, many examples of simple OurMonstersAreWeird). In {{Mortasheen}} series of monsters, everything under the Unknown section is styled this way, from the Vault (which can go through solid matter like it was nothing and is spawned from AlienGeometries) to the Lobotomask (a horrible face-type thing that eats your mind).
* ''NewYorkMagician'': Hello, [[spoiler:Cthulhu]]!
* In the ''GlobalGuardiansPBEMUniverse'', Lovecraft was ''right'', sort of; he just got the details wrong. The Great Old Ones that invaded this reality at the beginning of time were imprisoned by the Powers That Be (or at least the Powers That Were at the Time), and in the modern day, the heroes have to deal with their remnants, their cultists, and their attempts to re-invade reality.
** The Cthonians, the mortal descendants of the [[EldritchAbomination Great Old Ones]], want to free their ancestors from their mystic prisons. The heroes naturally think this is a bad idea.
* H-M Brown's ''{{Shell}}'' introduces us to a strange creature that is difficult to describe and has led those who saw it into madness.
* ''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.]]
* Darumatha, the Demon-Dragon of Broken Hours (with a name like ''that''...) in ''TheWaterPhoenixKing.'' It might appear in the form of one of your dead friends, fatal injuries and all, or it might take its ''real'' form of a vast serpentine coil of living metal scales, fangs, and spikes reaching all the way to the outer stars, a manifestation capable of making strong men vomit in terror, or as a charming young woman in an evening dress who prattles cheerfully on about cutting hearts out. Or just go back and forth between all these shapes, apparently at random.
* ''{{Guttersnipe}}'' features H.P. Lovecraft as a sort of 1920s StephenieMeyer, complete with eldritch abominations standing in for sparkly vampires.
* ''{{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'' Finged Horror. Which implies the existence of its bigger brothers.
* ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}'' features [[http://xkcd.com/1013/ Sheeple]].
* ''Webcomic/ThePackrat'' has the Demon of Waste ([[http://www.umop.com/art/kb014.jpg December 2010]]).
* [[InsistentTerminology Space monsters]] are known to exist in the world of ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja''. They're planet-sized. People who know of this pray they don't notice the earth.
* In ''Webcomic/RustyAndCo'', [[http://rustyandco.com/comic/level-6-56/ the Python summons an elder god]]... DeusExMachina.
