[[caption-width-right:350:And it makes ''[[GeniusLoci Castle Heterodyne]]'' [[HorrifyingTheHorror scream in pure shock]].]]
{{Eldritch Abomination}}s in {{Webcomics}}.
----
* [[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.
* ''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.]]
* ''Webcomic/TheArtistIsDead'' features one tailor-made to disturb and terrorize a cast of [[ArtInitiatesLife living drawings]].
* ''Webcomic/AutumnBay'' has one of these show up via falling star in the second strip.
* ''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/BloodIsMine'':
** Fragments of the First Womb, [[spoiler:which include the protagonist, her mother, and the Mars creature]], are beings that can be best described as living blood. They can manipulate their biology at will and they have access to a pocket dimension with an infinite amount of biological material to pull from.
** Nil is a being called "the absence between" and "the moment between moments". It can hide in memories, it communicates by erasing thoughts, rituals calling upon its power can decay things out of existence, and its ultimate goal is to [[spoiler:end all conscious thought in the universe]].
* [[Website/{{Bogleech}} The Insidious Bogleech]] uses the idea frequently (albeit buried among many, many examples of simple OurMonstersAreWeird). In the ''Website/{{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).
* Played with occasionally in Kris Straub's ''Webcomic/{{Chainsawsuit}}''. The designer of ''VideoGame/{{Braid}}'' [[http://chainsawsuit.com/2008/08/20/strip-45/ is one of them]], though quite an approachable one.
* 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.
* ''Webcomic/DMOfTheRings'': [[http://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=1168 "never try to scare a Call of Cthulhu player"]]
* 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 ''Webcomic/DanAndMabsFurryAdventures''.
-->'''Fa'lina:''' Cubi aren't the only creatures who can lurk into dreams...
* In ''Webcomic/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.]]
* The Cultists in ''Webcomic/EightBitTheater'' 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 ''Webcomic/TheUnspeakableVaultOfDoom''. [[CatchPhrase Yum Yum!]] ED NOTE: OKAY SERIOUSLY, SOMEONE EXPAND ON THIS
* ''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 and its kind appear to be benevolent, and feed on excess magic energy in an area, keeping it from going out of control. They admit they're more similar to bottom-feeders in this respect, but prefer to be called whales. "We like whales."
* ''Webcomic/FateGagOrder'''s origin story for Don Quixote becoming a Foreigner features an incursion by Hastur wherein the eldritch god "distorted and desecrated everything in its presence" before it was stopped.
-->''The streets started to melt despite the absence of heat. The air curdled into buttery clouds of venom. People it grabbed screaming were tossed into its toothless maws, gnawed by its many gums until they themselves became its teeth. And still they screamed.''
* Invoked in ''Webcomic/{{Freefall}}'' when Sam starts to explain the correct way to steal; Qwerty observes, "[[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff2500/fc02413.htm The tentacled horror from beyond my stars spoke, and von Neumann help me, in my madness I understood its words.]]"
** 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/fc02758.htm skin make his tentacles appear to exist in more dimensions than is standard.]]
* The first radio play in ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' mentions extradimensional abominations coming out of a well, [[PokeThePoodle leading directly to low rents]].
** In the actual webcomic, it is revealed that there are extra-dimensional horrors scary enough to dissuade even {{Mad Scientist}}s as reckless as the ''Heterodynes'' from messing with time. When time is disturbed, [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20140611 they notice]]. The above picture is of them. The Castle also mentions that's not the first time they show up, though last time they were much smaller and had brought hats. [[spoiler:Which later leads to the revelation that those exact smaller, hat-wearing, tangential-to-time eldritch monsters [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20150515 might be under Wulfenbach employment]]]].
* ''Webcomic/GuildedAge'': The beast the cultists let into the world. It appears to be able to [[spoiler:destroy people completely, in a way that appears to involve their nature as video game characters.]]
* ''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"]].
** Zimmy sees [[spoiler:[[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=1051 Kat's etheric form]]]], as this. Later events show it's not just Zimmy: A glimpse is shown at the end of "The Torn Sea", and Annie gets her first good look at it when [[spoiler:she [[https://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1740 breaks into the arrow]]]] at the end of "Jeanne".
*** [[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... Also, she's got her own cultists, though she doesn't know it yet.
** [[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 [[StunnedSilence reaction]] to learning this is [[https://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1112 priceless]].
* ''Webcomic/{{Guttersnipe}}'' spoofs the entire concept by featuring H.P. Lovecraft as a sort of 1920s Creator/StephenieMeyer, who comes complete with eldritch abominations standing in for sparkly vampires.
* ''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 once provided the image for this page.
*** Feferi's lusus is capable of killing every troll in the Universe with a ''[[BrownNote sound]]''. And she's an ''emissary'' of the Noble Circle of Horrorterrors, implied to be a lesser version.
** [[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.]]
** 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 timelines 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.
** Adult Cherubs are this, to an extent. Although they're just powerful beings, when they mate they turn into giant rage snakes and [[BelligerentSexualTension fight]].
* Elohim, the "true" God of ''Webcomic/HolyBibble'' is described as "present[ing] to us all in a humanoid form, [though] that is merely a crafted illusion on his part. His true form exists beyond the three spatial dimensions of our plane." His origin and the limits to his powers are unknown.
* ''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.
* The Master of ''Webcomic/TheInvitation'' roughly takes the form of a high class Victorian woman, and has a penchant for seducing mortals into Her tentacle-y pleasures.
* 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|DavidHopkins}}''.
* ''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.
* Several instances in ''Webcomic/KiddCommander''. Besides the "Elder Gods"? There's a panel or two with "Queen" ''Hastur'', the ''least cruel'' of the known Elders, and one of the ''smaller'' ones. [[spoiler:When she showed up, ''the sky bled''.]]
* While bound devils in ''Webcomic/KillSixBillionDemons'' are not particularly eldritch -- just AlwaysChaoticEvil usually 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.
** 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), lashed with forty chains inside a box that hides his countenance from the universe and pierced by a dozen weapons that cause devils' bodies to explode on impact, and is still only in there because He permits it. [[https://killsixbilliondemons.com/comic/seeker-of-thrones-5-52/ In his one conversation with Allison]] He is able to hear Allison's thoughts, and [[WordsCanBreakMyBones His speech bubbles wrap around and corrode the bars of His prison]].
** Finally, there is [[TheWormThatWalks Gog-Agog]], a HiveMind of billions of worms that [[WrongContextMagic unexplicably gained a soul]], a feat unheard of in all of [[TheMultiverse Throne]]. She then went on to slowly develop a MonsterClown persona as she became a [[BigBadEnsemble demiurges]] took over thousands of worlds, [[TheAssimilator assimilating]] desperate people by feeding them one of their worms and taking over their bodies, which she regularly uses as props in her [[BloodyHilarious bloody jokes]], forming her body inside theirs before exploding out of them with [[CheshireCatGrin a gigantic grin]] on her face. Even worse, her bodies are formed of an accumulations of worms, which allows her to both decompose at will and [[HealingFactor heal from any injury]]. According to WordOfGod, she would body any of her [[GodEmperor fellow demiurges]] if she was not that determined to act dumb.
* ''Webcomic/LovelyLovecraft'': This comic is inspired by the Cthulhu Mythos, so horrible beings abound. Notable cases are [[spoiler:Noyes, AKA Nyarlathotep, and Azalea, AKA Azathoth]].
* Cthulhu is included in a list of (otherwise real) horrifying sea creatures in ''Webcomic/MandatoryRollerCoaster''.
* Exris from ''Webcomic/MonsterLands'' is a shadow inside a robe whose only features are his white eyes and jagged teeth, which seem to be floating around inside his body
* Gravehouse of ''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?]]")
* ''Webcomic/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.
* ''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 one (formerly five) measly Gate. In the "Crayons of Time" flashback, it is 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 given enough time.
* ''Webcomic/OwMySanity'' features an UnwantedHarem of powerful beings from Lovecraft... who take human female forms.
* ''Webcomic/ThePackrat'' has the Demon of Waste ([[http://www.umop.com/art/kb014.jpg December 2010]]).
* The [[spoiler:Cjopaze]] from ''Webcomic/RubyQuest'' is apparently the force responsible for downfall and [[spoiler:corruption]] of the facility and also the reason why [[spoiler:the Brig/reality]] has been tearing apart over the course of the story.
* In ''Webcomic/RustyAndCo'', [[http://rustyandco.com/comic/level-6-56/ the Python summons an elder god]]... DeusExMachina.
* ''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.
* ''Webcomic/{{Shadowgirls}}'' takes direct inspiration from Lovecraft for its portrayal of the occult, most obviously in the character of Mother Hydra.
* ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'': Rithuly, the ruler of the Never is, if not an actual example, then at least ParodiedTrope in "The Immortal King", in the scene where Kozoaku has been [[SealedEvilInACan imprisoned]] in the Never.
--> '''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''.\\
'''Rithuly''': tHaT's kInd Of my thIng.\\
'''Kozoaku''': It's ''madness''.\\
'''Rithuly''': [=AlsO=] mY thIng.
* Darumatha, the Demon-Dragon of Broken Hours (with a name like ''that''...) in ''Webcomic/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.
* In the webcomic ''Webcomic/{{Wildlife}}'' the protagonist is one of these.
* ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}'' features [[http://xkcd.com/1013/ Sheeple]].
