"Juggernaut" is a word meaning "unstoppable." TheJuggernaut is just that. It is often fixated on a goal, reaching somewhere that it shouldn't be, trying to accomplish something that the heroes don't want it to accomplish. In any case, it is moving ever and continually forward, [[SuperStrength letting no one and nothing stand in its path]]. Bullets? Pathetic. Rockets? Barely noticable. Nuclear bombs? [[NighInvulnerable Might make him flinch]], but [[OutOfTheInferno don't expect the flames to stop him]] - ''[[InfernalRetaliation And that's if you're lucky]]''. The group of powerful heroes we've been following are nothing more than the RedshirtArmy to this thing. YouShallNotPass? It's going to. And it's ever, continually moving forward. You can practically ''taste'' the invulnerability of this thing.

It also helps the illusion of unstoppability if TheJuggernaut is also TheVoiceless. If physical attacks don't slow it down, then talking it down isn't going to work, either. It sometimes won't even attack, preferring to just plow forward, as if the defenses trying to stop it aren't even there. Those determined to make you fear them or mock your inability to scratch them will [[TheSlowWalk take their time]]. Stopping this thing usually requires a last second gambit, or a DeusExMachina to defeat. If it ever appears again, VillainDecay is almost certain. After all, if the unstoppable is stopped once, that means it's not unstoppable anymore, right? An epic NotSoInvincibleAfterAll moment will usually occur in the process.

Compare and contrast FoeTossingCharge, the usually heroic version of this trope. Also compare the {{Determinator}} who is powered by the sheer force of will. Compare ImplacableMan which ''can'' be stopped but only temporarily. This may create a sense of false security in the Implacable Man's quarry that does not exist when dealing with a Juggernaut.

Also compare SuperPersistentPredator. Also the PerfectPlayAI who usually applies only in gameplay terms.

Not to be confused with the 1974 film ''Juggernaut,'' which is about an extortionist who has planted [[TimeBomb time bombs]] on a cruise ship.

!!Examples

[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder:{{Anime}} and {{Manga}}]]
* There isn't much that can stop Killy from ''{{Blame}}''!. In fact, the one thing that comes close to destroying him is an explosion that would make the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsar_Bomba Tsar Bomba]] look like a Sparrow's fart in comparison. Even then, this only destroys 40-odd percent of his body mass. How does he respond? By simply ''growing his body back and soldiering on.''
* Tetsuo from the movie ''Manga/{{Akira}}'' gains telekinetic powers, and promptly goes on a little stroll, destroying everything in his path. This includes tanks, soldiers, bridges, buildings, and even a KillSat.
* Alexander Anderson from ''{{Hellsing}}'', in his first appearance, takes multiple .454 Casull rounds to the head and continues fighting, even triumphing ever-so-briefly over Alucard. He continues to seem unstoppable up until his final confrontation with Alucard, where the trope is subverted by the vampire's mob of souls bogging him down. Not to say that Alucard does not look like one of these to his many enemies.
** For that matter, Alucard too. He gets ripped to shreds by machine gun fire because it's fun. Just about ''nothing'' his enemies throw at him even slow him down. Justified for his maximum level, he borders on becoming an Eldritch Abomination.
* Demons in ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' are nearly impossible to put down. Nothing short of ridiculously thorough physical trauma can really stop one; Guts usually has to cleave one's head into pieces - repeatedly - and Wyald [[spoiler:keeps moving until Nosferatu Zodd, another powerful demon, ''tears him clean in half'']].
* [[BigBad Hao Asakura]] in ''ShamanKing'' is definitely the most powerful shaman in the series. He shrugs off everything thrown at him and [[spoiler:in the manga at least, destroys the most powerful of the X-Laws' Angels in only a single attack]].
* Most of the monstrous "Angels" in ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' fit the bill to some extent, as they make mincemeat of the Tokyo-3 defenses.
** Zeruel (the Fourteenth/[[RebuildOfEvangelion Tenth]] Angel)takes more punishment than any other Angel in the series and is barely fazed by any of it, including an N2 bomb shoved through its AT Field.
** If EVA-01 goes berserk, just pray that it'll stop soon
* Lucy in the first episode of ''Manga/ElfenLied'', in a very graphic version of this trope. It's shocking to those who hear "Juggernaut" and think of the huge, muscly guy from X-Men. Lucy is a cute pink-haired teenage girl...until she rips you in half, spilling your blood everywhere.
* Rikiya Gaou in ''{{Eyeshield 21}}'' smashes through enemy defenses as though they were made of paper and is notorious for [[spoiler:forcing opposings team to forfeit due to his tendency to break the arms of their quarterback]]. WorfEffect took place when [[spoiler: Kurita beat him, and then later, got beat up by Mr. Don in America.]]
* Sloth from ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'' is a very lazy {{Juggernaut}}. Despite being one of the core seven [[TheDragon Dragons]], he doesn't know or care about the Heroes, and just wants to rest. His laziness did not stop him from digging a circular tunnel all the way around Amestris and he's strong enough to shove tanks out of the way when he wants to. [[spoiler:When the kid gloves come off and he finally starts exerting himself, Sloth also shows himself to be ''the fastest thing alive''.]]
** Also Father, [[spoiler: even more so when he eats God, but NotSoInvincibleAfterAll occurs when he starts losing control of it.]]
* Faudo serves this role in the last arc of the ''GashBell'' anime (and the next-to-last arc of the manga).
* The Pig Deva Vikaralamon in ''Anime/DigimonTamers'' was like this. His actual fighting abilities were rather low but he simply ignored everything his opponents threw at him.
** The D-Reaper fits even moreso. Until the final episodes, absolutely nothing the protagonists threw at it seemed to so much as slow it down. To this day, after seven series, the D-Reaper still may be the unstoppable thing in the franchise.
* Kitano from ''Manga/AngelDensetsu'' manages it by [[LightningBruiser inhuman reflexes]]. [[GenerationXerox His father]], however does [[MadeOfIron not even bother]] avoiding blows and ''just stands there until everyone is too tired to punch him more''.
* Whitebeard from OnePiece defines this trope. [[spoiler: After receiving 267 slashes and stabs, 152 bullets, 46 cannonballs, pierced by a laser, and half his face burned off, ''HE NEVER RETREATED'', as seen by his back which had absolutely no injuries, save for a couple that were just a result of being impaled from the front. And [[DiedStandingUp he died on his feet]], [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome like a true warrior.]]]]
** Even more impressive, this is him [[BadassGrandpa elderly]] and after [[HandicappedBadass spending a considerable amount of time on life support]]. In his prime, he may have even been able to shrug all ''that'' off. And let's not forget his Devil Fruit, which is considered the most powerful of all Paramecia-types: [[spoiler:the Gura Gura no Mi, translated as Tremor-Tremor Fruit, which gives the user the power to create tremors of strength akin to earthquakes ''by punching the air''. The rumors about that fruit being able to destroy the world seemed to be proven true when he ''TILTED THE ENTIRE FREAKING OCEAN!'']]
** On the marine's side, we have[[spoiler: Fleet]] Admiral Akainu, a man who transforms into a lava floe, and is just as unstoppable as one. Even when not taking into account this ability, his physical strength is practically unmatched, and the only time he was stopped, it was because he clashed with a bigger Juggernaut (Whitebeard). And even then, he was soon back up in time to murder some more pirates. And don't think reasoning with him will work, he's hellbent on exterminating every single pirate in the world, and will gladly incinerate anyone who stands in his way, including his own men.
* The Spheres in ''{{Heroman}}'' have been dead set on crushing anything between them and their destination. Heroman ''barely'' slowed one down to get civilians out of the way in Episode 3; taking great damage to do so; and now there are five crushing their way to every populated continent in the world.
* Reinforce from ''MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'' is this in addition to being a PersonOfMassDestruction. She shields against a combined attack of Nanoha and Fate without much problems. Later, Nanoha turns Raging Heart into [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique Excelion Mode]] and puts all her power into breaking Reinforces shield and fires a massive beam attack at ''point-blank range'' right into Reinforce. [[NoSell It doesn't do anything.]]
* Younger Toguro of ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'' is portrayed as this all the way up to his final moments. Toguro is a hulking monstrosity unfazed by even the strongest of attacks in the series, such as Genkai's point-blank Spirit Wave and Yusuke's mountain-crushing Spirit Gun, regenerating or growing stronger each time. He [[CurbStompBattle curbstomps]] every single opponent in his way (including [[spoiler:his elder brother]]), terrifies Hiei and Kurama, two of the world's most notorious criminals, and when Yusuke finally approaches Toguro's strength and fires [[WaveMotionGun his strongest Spirit Gun yet]]? [[spoiler: Toguro dies not from damage sustained in battle, but from overexertion due to holding back said Spirit Gun]]. He even fits the bill physically: he's already a muscular 7-foot monstrosity in his human form, and his demon transformations become more and more large and muscular as he shows more power, [[LightningBruiser all the while gaining strength, defense, and speed with every transformation]].
* The Walpurgis Night from ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica''. It's best described as devastatingly powerful magical flying fortress (which keeps laughing insanely), and it's plain unstoppable [[spoiler:except with Madoka's power, but that's an entirely different can of worms]].
** Akemi Homura herself is an example of this trope. She keeps mowing down Witches [[spoiler:[[GroundhogDayLoop for Madokami knows how many timelines]]!]].
* Three words: Bazzet Fraga [=McRemitz=] from ''FateKaleidLinerPrismaIllya''. She was already one in the [[VisualNovel/FateHollowAtaraxia parent series]], but she deserves a honourful mention in this SpinOff for [[spoiler:[[CurbstompBattle Curbstomping]] Ilya, Kuro and Miyu, shrugging off all of their attacks, to the point they never won agaisnt her, they needed to trick her and place a {{Geas}} to prevent her from attacking.]]
* The Destroy Gundam, the ''GundamSEEDDestiny''-equivalent of the [[ZetaGundam Psycho Gundam]], is a battleship-sized mecha that was unleashed in Eurasia, causing millions of civillian casualties, and killing thousands of soldiers, before finally being stopped.
* Gavrill from ''Manga/FrankenFran''. The island she was trapped on got hit with a low-yield nuke. That only pissed her off.
* ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'': ''Acqua of the Back!'' At least in his first appearance. The only thing that even slowed him down was going up against a [[PersonOfMassDestruction Saint]], and it took the Imagine Breaker combined with a spell known as "The Saint Destroyer" to stop him.
* ToyotomiHideyoshi is presented this way in the anime adaptation of ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara''. Practically the entire second season consists of a single-long string of Hideyoshi curb-stomping practically every single person who opposes him without taking so much as a scratch, [[spoiler:to the degree that Masamune defeating him with a single blow seems almost like a cop-out considering how stupidly one-sided every single battle he'd been in had been up to that point.]]
* The Armored Titan from ''Manga/AttackOnTitan''. This unusual specimen is a 15m tall HumanoidAbomination covered in plates of thickened skin that allow it to shrug off cannon fire and just keep coming. Its first appearance involves [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCZcA6BPrCw charging and smashing]] through the internal gate of Wall Maria, an event that earns it legendary status among the survivors as an unstoppable horror.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Comic Books]]
* The TropeNamer is a very old term, but Marvel villain The Juggernaut is usually the TropeCodifier. He is primarily an ComicBook/{{X-Men}} villain but his power has been tested against all of Marvel's NighInvulnerable characters at one time or another and he generally lives up to his CatchPhrase: "Nothing stops the Juggernaut". Even in the rare instances when somebody is capable of causing him physical harm, the Juggernaut is hardly slowed down and quickly [[HealingFactor regenerates]]. For example, on one occasion the Juggernaut fights a powerful demon who magically incinerates his flesh, muscles, and organs... only to have Juggernaut's skeleton keep marching forward to clobber the demon. The Juggernaut's power, at least in the comics, comes from the "Gem of Cyttorak", which essentially makes him [[PhysicalGod an avatar of the god of unstoppability]]. Most of the time, the only way to beat the Juggernaut is to have a telepath attack his mind, or to basically send him somewhere else, either by teleporting him or using SuperStrength to either lift him up and throw him away, hit him before he can start moving, or judo-throw him across the planet. Since Cyttorak provided him with a helmet that blocks telepathic intrusions, and trying to send him away is only a temporary measure, the majority of any fight with the Juggernaut usually consists of the X-Men desperately trying to remove the helmet so that whoever is the resident telepath at the moment can subdue him.
-->''"[[MyWayEntertainment Silly bitch, your weapons cannot harm me! Don't you know who the fuck I AM?]] [[MemeticMutation I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!]]"''
** The worst part is, the Juggernaut ''isn't'' dumb. In the classic two part issue where he fought SpiderMan, he told the hero that he learned from all the times where he was beaten by getting his helmet yanked off, so he weilded it on with a laser torch. Another precaution he apparently took was to build a skullcap out of the same material as the helmet, and wear it underneath, for added protection just in case. Clearly, the fact that he's smarter than he looks makes him even more dangerous.
** In the ''Fear Itself'' event, Juggernaut becomes possessed by an ancient being in service of an Asgardian god, The Serpent, becoming "Kuurth, Breaker Of Stone". In this incarnation he is ''[[UpToEleven even more unstoppable]]''. Not only are all his usual weaknesses removed (telepathy doesn't work, draining his powers doesn't work, and teleporting him away will result in him teleporting back where he was immediately), but X-Men's attempts to stop him quickly turned into something akin to the Wiki/SCPFoundation's [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/experiment-log-t-98816-oc108-682 attempts to terminate SCP-682]]. They even resorted to having Adam X use his ''[[NightmareFuel power to ignite a victim's blood, roasting him from within]]'' on the Juggernaut. [[EpicFail The result]]: now he's unstoppable '''[[IncendiaryExponent and on fire]],''' or at least able to burn anything he touched. Ultimately, they resort to informing Cyttorak that his avatar is now serving another god. Cyttorak is naturally displeased, and Colossus volunteers to be his new avatar, gaining the power to stalemate Kuurth.
** On those occasions when Juggernaut's a hired gun instead of pursuing his personal vendettas, there ''is'' something that can stop him: a bigger pile of cash than his current employer has offered.
** Prior to ''World War Hulk'', Marko had decided to try to be a good guy, or at least less of a jerk. Unfortunately Cyttorak wasn't happy about his decision and withheld most of his power from Marko, resulting in his Juggernaut status dropping considerably. After his first encounter with the returned Hulk which ended in being soundly beaten, Marko swore his complete fealty to being the true avatar of Cyttorak, which pleased the god so much that he restored Marko with ''all'' of the Juggernaut power, raising his usual power set to frightening levels. Though he was defeated again (through trickery this time, as Juggernaut had the upper hand in the physical fight), Marko told the others not to look for him, as they wouldn't like what they would find, and left, still fully powered...
* {{Galactus}}. And on the one occasion he ''was'' stopped, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraxas_%28comics%29 something]] even ''worse'' arrived to take his place.
* ''TheDeathOfSuperman'' storyline featured a villain named Doomsday, who plowed through most of the Justice League in the months leading up the main event. When the two finally clashed, [[IAmNotLeftHanded it took everything Superman had]] to stop him, and though he was successful, victory came at the cost of his life. [[spoiler:Superman got better. Doomsday did too-- eventually.]]
** It should be noted that throughout the first 3 ''Superman'' comics that Doomsday had one hand TIED BEHIND HIS BACK.
** It was eventually revealed that Doomsday's actual superpower was immunity: anything that kills him once can't kill him again. Getting beaten to death by Superman? Won't work again. Being tossed into the sun? Won't work again. Using time travel to deposit him at the moment of "big crunch" at the end of the universe's lifespan? Won't work again.
* The Saint of Killers from ''{{Preacher}}'' has not been budged by a crashing pickup truck and stopped an advancing tank by ''kicking it''. He responded to being hit with a nuke with a calm spitting and the quip "Not enough gun."
** Neither Heaven nor Hell can contain this vengeful soul. When he arrived in Hell in his backstory comic, he put a ''literal'' spin to the term "When Hell Freezes Over". The only reason he doesn't kill Jesse Custer? [[spoiler:He revealed that God set him up, and he came up with a way for the Saint to get even. That's where we see the part where not even Heaven can contain him.]]
* The Shaggy Man in TheDCU.
** Black Adam counts as this in World War III of 52 where he spent several weeks circling the globe massacring everything in his path, and every superhero active could do little to stop or slow him down.
* DC's multiversal Superboy-Prime has exploits in various crossover events that are worth mentioning. In ''InfiniteCrisis'', he shrugged off the entire extended ComicBook/TeenTitans, [[JusticeSocietyOfAmerica JSA]], and Comicbook/DoomPatrol, got trapped in the Phantom Zone and got out, got trapped in [[{{Flash}} the Speed Force]] and ''escaped'', beat up on ''both'' heroes and villains in the Battle for Metropolis, shrugged off getting rammed into a super machine by a ''different'' SuperBoy, broke through a 300 mile long wall of GreenLantern willpower like it was made of glass, and beat the entire Green Lantern Corps on his way to Oa. The only thing that could stop him was ''two'' Supermen who had to ''fly him through a red sun''. Even then, he didn't actually die and the Green Lanterns imprisoned him ''inside'' the red sun.
** In the Sinestro Corps War, the eponymous villains of the event manage to break him out. He then goes on to easily fight off the nearly the ''entire'' JusticeLeague in spite of not being at full strength, beats up Sodam Yat (who was supposed to be the ''strongest superhero in the universe''), throws the Anti-Monitor into space like a rag doll, and then kills a bunch of Green Lantern Corps ''and'' Sinestro Corps members. He only gets beaten when a Guardian of a Universe [[HeroicSacrifice blows himself up]] to stop him. He survives that too hopping between universes and killing superheroes and villains alike trying to find his "perfect Earth." This time around, he only gets stopped when a Monitor tricks him into fighting the Monarch, who's actually CaptainAtom multiplied by 52. When Prime breaches Monarch's armor, the explosion is so massive, it ''destroys a universe''. Of course, it's really too hard to keep a ridiculously powerful villain down...
*** ...In ''FinalCrisis: Legion of 3 Worlds'', it's revealed that Superboy-Prime managed to survive that explosion, having only become lost to time. He gets brought to the 31st century by another supervillain to do what he does best: commit senseless acts of murder. It gets to a point that {{Superman}} gets brought to the future as well to help defeat him. Here's the kicker: he, ''Superman'', determines that the only possible way to beat Superboy-Prime is to try and [[HeelFaceTurn redeem him]]. Apparently, they finally realized repeatedly [[StayingAlive blowing him up with cosmic explosions wasn't working too well]].
* [[ComicBook/IncredibleHulk Hulk]] can go into Juggernaut mode if you really piss him off. During ''World War Hulk'' the most powerful characters in MU, including Black Bolt, Hercules, ComicBook/IronMan in Hulkbuster Armor, SheHulk, Ares, Comicbook/GhostRider, [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Thing]], Comicbook/DoctorStrange with the power of demonic superweapon, Sentry and Juggernaut himself couldn't stop him! Though Strange lost control and Ghost Rider had a [[BystanderSyndrome lack of motivation rather than ability]]. Still, Hulk defeating Sentry was thought up until then impossible and when they thought all his energy was used up doing so he saw who was really responsible for bombing Sakaar and Hulked Out hard enough to nearly break Earth with his ''steps'' before he was finally stopped.
** WordOfGod has it that Juggernaut was gaining the upper hand in that fight, and Hulk only managed to keep him away from the scene for some minutes (by pushing him away, basically).
* Superman's enemy Imperiex has destroyed entire galaxies and nearly ended creation itself by the time he comes to blows with the Man of Steel. He blows through {{Superman}} and the [[JusticeLeague JLA]] and vaporizes Doomsday (he got better). He is finally killed by being sent back to The Big Bang, which was the only thing powerful enough to destroy him.
* MarvelComics villain {{Onslaught}} had near infinite strength, capable of going one on one when the [[ComicBook/IncredibleHulk Hulk]] had his greatest strength potential put out, not to mention knocking the Juggernaut, literally, across the country.
* The Destroyer, a suit of magical armor created by Odin and other gods to battle the [[SufficientlyAdvancedAlien Celestials]]. As such, it is tremendously powerful and just short of invulnerable. Fortunately, it's mindless on its own, and can only be operated by the soul of another sentient, but it's still managed to nearly kill {{Thor}} several times.
* ''What If Charles Xavier Became The Juggernaut'' Solution: Launch him into space and hope he never finds a way back.
** It turns out [[spoiler:Xavier ''really was'' Cyttorak's first choice to become the Juggernaut.]]
* Alternate Enerjak from ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehog Archie Comics definitley qualifies. He manages to beat nearly ''every powerful character in his own timeline'' as illustrated by the large number of victims shown as his prisoners.
* Willy Pete from ''ComicBook/{{Empowered}}''. Unlike most examples, he hasn't shown himself to have unusual physical strength thus far... But that's probably because ''his body burns hotter than the surface of the sun'', so anything huge he could pick up would just ''melt''. As a "goddamn fire elemental", he is ''literally'' a force of nature. Kills without mercy, and capable of flash-frying an entire ''squad'' of supers before they even realize he's there.
* In ScroogeMcDuck stories by Creator/DonRosa, the GentlemanThief Arpin Lusene, also known as the "Black Knight", acquires a substance invented by Gyro Gearloose called Omnisolve that instantly annihilates anything it comes in contact with other than diamonds. (In the story where it originally appeared, it was poured on the ground and ate a shaft down to the centre of the Earth.) Wanting to end his career with the ultimate [[ImpossibleThief impossible theft]], stealing all of Scrooge's money -- or at least making it disappear so people will think he did -- he coats a knight's armour and sword with diamond dust and then Omnisolve. With these, he's almost completely unstoppable, able to walk through any obstacle and absorb any attack, from cannonballs to gasses.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Film]]
* ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' is unstoppable when fighting humans because he shrugs off their best shot and keeps going. Godzilla's monstrous rivals typically also display Juggernaut behaviour.
* ''Franchise/StarTrek'' movies - both ''The Motion Picture'' and ''IV: The Voyage Home'' feature unstoppable mystery probes heading straight for Earth.
** As opposed to ''First Contact'', ''Nemesis'', and ''Star Trek (2009)'' which all feature unstoppable mystery ships heading straight for Earth.
* ''HellboyIITheGoldenArmy'' - [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment The Golden Army]]. Once given an order they can't be stopped unless that order is rescinded. TheHero ''tries'' to stop them but, seeing that it's pointless, gives up.
* The twelfth of the eponymous ''Film/Thir13enGhosts'' was named the Juggernaut. A seven-foot tall serial killer, the tale of his death is like that of a modern-day Blackbeard. But death couldn't stop his madness or rage, as he increased his kill tally four times over as a ghost before his capture.
* ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'' The Juggernaut could only be contained in shackles designed specifically for him. The police holding are heard warning others not to let him move, not even a little, because if he gets moving nothing will stop him.
* Any ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'' can fit this bill.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Literature]]
* The Luggage from ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' books is quite implacable, and will follow its owner anywhere (even to the afterlife). In ''Discworld/TheColourOfMagic'' it gets bombarded with enough magic to cause reality itself to start breaking, yet survives unharmed (mostly due to being made from a completely magic-resistant material).
** The Golems of the Discworld also qualify. They're not fast, but they're ridiculously strong, survive in just about any environment and never need to rest. As the Patrician says, "Four miles an hour is 672 miles in a week. It all adds up."
* In TheBlackCompany The Limper qualifies as this after he gets his [[spoiler: new body in The Silver Spike.]] He REALLY qualifies after he [[spoiler: comes out of the fondu pot at the end.]].
* Creator/HPLovecraft's Great Old Ones are immortal and undying (that is not dead which can eternal lie, and so on). While it's possible to damage them they regenerate any damage nearly instantaneously. In ''TabletopGame/CallOfCthulhu'' Cthulhu got rammed in the face with a boat and suffered no permenent harm. In the work of another mythos-writer he's suffered a direct hit from a 300 megaton nuclear warhead and wasn't even slowed down, and in one mythos-themed RPG, rules state that if he is hit by a nuclear attack he gets vaporised, but reassembles 24 hours later and becomes radioactive! (Apparently the only thing worse than an eldritch abomination is a ''radioactive'' one.)
** Though it has to be said that Cthulhu and many (if not necessarily all) of Lovecraft's other horrors, for all that they may be NighInvulnerable, show little in the way of juggernaut-style behavior -- at least in the original works, they usually don't seem very interested in ''going'' anywhere in particular. They ''might'' well be unstoppable once they decided to, but we don't see it happen often; Cthulhu doesn't even leave his island and fails to as much as seriously damage the yacht that apparently passes straight through him, for example.
** The titular creature in ''The Hound'', on the other hand, is definitely this: it slowly but constantly pursues the protagonist. The only thing that ever slows it down is a second theft of its amulet, and after dealing with that thief it immediately returns to the protagonist (who eventually decides he would rather commit suicide than be caught by it).
* Another CthulhuMythos example would be the Hounds of Tindalos. Immortal creatures, dwelling in the ''angles'' of time who relentlessly hunt down anyone who attracts their attention. They use corners and other angles to access our plane of existence and the only thing that ''might'' slow them down would be to plaster over the corners to make them into curves (which they can't access). But you'd better get ''all'' the angles.
* ''Pokebattles'''s Doompuff and it's many spinoffs are all Juggernauts. They can't be stopped, eat everything, and are 1 dimensional. The only one who beat a Doompuff was [[spoiler:Emperor Sloth, by taunting]] [[SealedEvilInADuel two of them and throwing a decoy into a portal.]] Despite its long threatening name, [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast HYPER VICIOUS EVIL RABID ULTRA POWERED SUPER MEGA FATAL DREADFUL DOOMPUFF]] is the only exception and [[http://www.pokebattles.com/blue/101-105 Missinganime deleted it]]. Then again Missinganime isn't to be messed with either. As of 2009, a doompuff has been caught. It was by Emperor Sloth, a professional at fighting them.
* [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast The Reaper]] from ''[[Literature/TheSwordOfShannaraTrilogy The Elfstones Of Shannara]]''. Swords break on its face, falling off a bridge only delays it, blasts from the eponymous Elfstones, which kill most Demons with ease, barely scorch its hide. It [[ScarilyCompetentTracker tracks]] Wil Ohmsford and Amberle from one end of the Westland to the other and never, ever, stops. Wil finally has to [[spoiler: direct the Elfstones' fire into its face and down its hood from a few feet away]] in order to kill it.
* In the {{Nightside}} series, there's The Walking Man, an agent of God that is sent to clean up sin in the Nightside - violently. Nothing can hurt him, nothing can even slow him down, [[spoiler: until John shows him that what he's doing is wrong]]
* The giant squid from ''Literature/{{Beast}}''. It's all but unkillable. This more or less holds true in RealLife as well. The only thing that can kill it is [[spoiler:[[AlwaysABiggerFish a Sperm Whale]], which makes sense, as that ''is'' its natural predator.]]
* The Shrike from the ''Literature/HyperionCantos'' most definitely qualifies. Biomechanical, incomprehensible, almost god-like in power, and an implacable force of destruction.
* In ''The Message'', the fourth ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'' book, Visser Three morphs a giant, untiring SeaMonster called a Mardrut to hunt the kids down with. They're only spared a messy death thanks to the fortuitous arrival of [[FanNickname magic talking]] [[SapientCetaceans whales]].
* ''Literature/LegacyOfTheDragokin'': Ktonia's fight scene is, in a nutshell, her walking down the street while the heroes throw themselves at her in pointless attempts to stop or harm her.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Live Action TV]]
* In ''SuperSentai'' and ''PowerRangers'', the most humongous of the HumongousMecha often play the Juggernaut role. At least in the beginning when they are introduced, to emphasize their awesomeness. Later, [[SortingAlgorithmOfEvil tougher monsters tend to show up]] to match them.
* The first appearance of the Borg in ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' certainly makes them look unstoppable, but their second appearance really drives it home. The Enterprise is helpless to stop the Borg Cube from abducting Picard, and attempts to destroy it from the inside and a jury-rigged WaveMotionGun are only minor setbacks. Later, the Borg destroy thirty-nine Federation ships without a scratch, and every planetary defense between Saturn and Earth crumbles without much of a fight.
** And [[Series/StarTrekVoyager later]], there was Species 8472, who waltzed through the Borg ''in the heart of the Borg's own empire'' like they weren't even there. They were that tough [[VillainDecay for about two episodes]].
* The Dalek in the "Dalek" episode of the new ''Series/DoctorWho'' series, killing over 200 people in the process.
** Mithril Dalekanium is possibly the best armour in the Whoniverse, rendering weapons from any time basically useless against the Daleks.
* In the first episode of ''Series/{{Angel}}'' that Hamilton appears in, he is TheJuggernaut.
** [[PhysicalGod Illyria]] even more so before she got [[DePower depowered.]]
* In the second season premiere of ''TheSarahConnorChronicles'', Cameron goes berserk and starts trying to kill John Connor, and proves next-to-impossible to stop, even with TheSlowWalk due to a damaged leg. Eventually, the only way she is defeated is when [[spoiler:John and Sarah crush her between two tractor trailers, and even ''then'' she's just pinned.]]
* ''UltramanMebius'' has the Emperor. To emphasize how unstoppable he is, the mere act of the Emperor ''landing'', [[StuffBlowingUp levels buildings around him]] [[IncendiaryExponent and sets others on fire]].

* ''[[Machinima/RedVsBlue Red vs. Blue: Reconstruction]]'' features the Meta, a SuperSoldier that [[MegaManning steals enhancements and AIs]] from its victims. Throughout the series, it dodges rockets, throws vehicles at people, and survives a direct attack against it ''with a chain gun''. Bonus points for being TheVoiceless - it only speaks in grunts and growls.
** [[spoiler: The Meta has been nerfed, losing all the powers he [[PowerCopying copied]] along with the AIs in an EMP blast. He is STILL tough enough to massacre Agent Washington or take out Tex one-on-one. He survives several slashes from a knife, along with said knife being thrown into his chest, being stabbed by an Energy Sword, and four shotgun blasts. The only thing that manages to kill him is being dragged off of a cliff.]]
** [[spoiler: Episode 17 of Season 9 makes the damage he took in that fight seem trivial. He takes a sniper round to the chest, a full pistol clip point blank in the throat and is thrown into oncoming traffic at extreme speeds, this is WITHOUT any armor enhancements or AI like later in the series. The only permanent damage he takes is his loss of ability to speak.]]

[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
* The Tyranids and Necrons of ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' qualify.
** Don't forget the Juggernaut of Khorne, a giant metal rhino that bleeds molten metal.
** And on the subject of Khorne, there's his Champion, [[AxeCrazy Kharn]] [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder the Betrayer]], an unstoppable engine of destruction feared even by his fellow Berserkers due to his tendency to kill ''everything''. During the 13th Black Crusade [[GeneralFailure Abaddon]], in an unexpected display of competence, merely pointed him in a direction and Kharn proceeded to [[CatchPhrase "KILL! MAIM! BURN!"]] everything in his path, for the Blood god.
** ''[[HumongousMecha Titans]]''. Immense war machines built in humanoid form. Most of the major races and forces of the galaxy utilize their own forms of Titans, except the Tau who relies on long-range hit-and-run. Emperor Titans, enormous walking-cathedral-mecha deployed by Imperium of Man, are about 55m tall and pack more than enough weapon to level a city.
* Older editions of ''DungeonsAndDragons'' had a monster called the "juggernaut" that could roll over and crush anything in its path, and was almost impossible to stop when it got rolling. Its biggest strength was also its biggest weakness, since it was fairly awkward and had a hard time changing direction.
** Freakin' [[http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Tarrasque Tarrasque]]. 50' long walking [[NighInvulnerable living tank]] immune to almost every effect (magical or not) and ''reflects back'' some, regenerates FromASingleCell and [[http://ww2.wizards.com/Books/Wizards/?doc=fr_spinyarn2003a has an unique mechanism of self-resurrection]] just in case [[{{Munchkin}} someone]] managed to kill it anyway. And it's constantly hungry when it's not asleep.
*** It's ridiculously easy to control with a simple ''command creature''.
** ForgottenRealms has Simbul, the Witch-Queen. Her three most known qualities are: 1) in raw power, the first among the spellcasters of her world; 2) very obsessive; 3) easily falls into absurdly destructive rages. When (''[[Literature/TheElminsterSeries Elminster In Hell]]'') she had to rescue Elminster from [[FireAndBrimstoneHell Avernus]] and blasted her way through the initial crowd of TheLegionsOfHell, she just continued to fly to where she located him. After she tore a pit fiend to pieces without even ''slowing down'', the local who abducted her lover began to wonder who the hell she was... and spend non-renewable sources in running all over the plane.
* ''[[MagicTheGathering Magic]]'''s [[http://magiccards.info/query?q=juggernaut&v=card&s=cname Juggernaut type]] is basically named for this. As of the ''Conflux'' expansion, the canonical (if expensive) trope example may be [[http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?&id=179496 Progenitus]]...
* A power that lets you do this is available in ''MutantsAndMasterminds''. So is an immovability power. (We think Chuck Norris dies if the two come together.)
** Although technically the Unstoppable power is simply an extra option for the Immovable power.
* The ''Franchise/StarTrek''-based game ''StarFleetBattles'' has the Juggernaught, a regenerating mega-ship with the firepower of a Starbase capable of taking on an entire fleet.
* Somebody once made an experiment that created one - he adapted Cthulhu to ''DungeonsAndDragons'' and set him against a team of players with most iconic D&D characters, boosted up to 20th level each, with the addition that every time one of them died, they got another one. Cthulhu killed ''13'' of them and was defeated by a spell that imprisoned him, because nothing else worked.
* The ''TabletopGame/NewWorldOfDarkness'' sourcebook ''[[SerialKiller Slasher]]'' incorporates many of these elements into the Mask Undertaking (basically, the unholy lovechild of Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees conceived after a night of indulging in PCP). Voiceless? The Mask loses all capacity for literacy and intelligible speech once it achieves its final metamorphosis. Unable to feel pain? Only because it's hinted that the mere ''presence'' of humans causes it blistering pain that no other sensation can match. Unable to be killed? ''Any'' attack against it -- from a sucker punch to a shotgun blast to the head to an unleashed flamethrower -- will only fill one health box.
* The Yozi Isidoros, the Black Boar That Twists The Skies, from ''{{Exalted}}''. Isidoros' title isn't just boasting - he was able to push the moon and stars out of his path.
** There is also a creature ''called'' Juggernaut, a vaguely-living monster that looms over Thorns, but rather than being an unstoppable trampling death-engine with no limits, it's enslaved to the Mask of Winters and would ''really'' like to be freed - [[MercyKill one way or the other]].
* In TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}, Skaven players can field the Hell Pit Abomination, which is basically a Clan Moulder mutation GoneHorriblyRight. It's absolutely massive, can kill nigh-on anything and is tough as hell to beat. And the worst thing? On death, it gets to use it's special rule Too Horrible to Die to roll on a table- ''on a 5 or 6, the creature gets right back up, regardless of how it died, completely healed''.
** There's also the Regeneration rule, which, unless the attack is Flaming or ignores it for any reason, allows the user a 50% chance of ignoring any attack because they just keep growing back.
** The Empire Steam Tank. With decent firepower, of course.
* ''{{Diplomacy}}'' strategy often calls a Russia-Turkey alliance the Eastern Juggernaut because both countries are against the side of the board, meaning if they cooperate they can focus their efforts expanding west.
* "Ogre" from Steve Jackson Games. One player would set up the board with a layered defense of tanks, powered army infantry, and artillery. The other would have an Ogre (a large robotic tank in the style of Creator/KeithLaumer's "Literature/{{Bolo}}.") His only job was to advance.

[[folder:Video Games]]
* '''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyX Sin]]'''.
* '''Berserker''' aka Herakles from the visual novel ''FateStayNight'',especially during his fight against [[spoiler:Gilgamesh]] in UBW Route.His opponent is the world's First Hero with access to stronger versions of almost all Noble Phantasms that ever existed.So what does Berserker do? He literally ''storms'' his way through volleys of '''highly dangerous''' noble phantasms,all the while shielding his frightened master with his body.[[spoiler:Gil]] gets angrier with every passing moment & showers him with volleys of NPs. He shrugs his way through them.Then he is trapped by [[spoiler:Enkidu,an ancient chain ''specifically designed'' to restrain beings of divine origin,like Herakles]] and skewered by ''another'' volley of NPs. Berserker's immortality had run out by then. So what does he do? He breaks the [[spoiler:God binding chains]] with '''raw strength''' & charges at his enemy,once ''again''.[[spoiler:In the end,Gil gets really tired of this & pierces Herakles's heart with Gae Bolg,the spear designed to reduce the victim's hitpoint to 0.Even then Berserker keeps himself alive with '''sheer wilpower''' long enough to ensure that his frightened & injured master could die in peace,before fading away.]]
** Gilgamesh himself also is a great example of this trope, as he´s capable of smashing through every other character in the game at not even a fifth of his full power and is almost completely invincible due to his golden armor, which '''can block a salvo of about 50 hits from Saber without a scratch'''. He only gets injured ''twice'' in the entire game, [[spoiler: Once when Shirou using [[DeusExMachina Avalon]] to reflect a SwordBeam back at him, though he is still mostly unharmed and in Unlimited Blade Works where he loses an arm to Shirou (since he didn´t put on his armor). That last one '''doesn´t even slow him down''', and it takes a '''BLACK HOLE''' manifesting inside his body to actually give him pause... [[{{Determinator}} until he starts dragging his way out of it with the previously mentioned chains.]] He´s finally consumed by the black hole because Archer came and '''threw a dagger into his face.''' Had THAT not distracted him for a second, he would´ve climbed out anyway.]] Let´s just say there´s a reason this guy is an EnsembleDarkhorse.
* Bowser from the ''SuperMarioBros'' franchise. How else do you explain him surviving being thrown into lava over a dozen times (and at one point, a ''red giant'')?
* Archimonde, the BigBad of ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}} III'', becomes the Juggernaut for the last half a minute of the game's final mission. He charges at you, [[MookMaker summoning demons into your base]], casting a spell that [[OneHitKill kills everything with one hit]] and blasting everything with a powerful attack. However, the mission is basically won at this point, since he can't get to the end of the course you are defending in the remaining time.
* ''ModernWarfare 2'' features in the Special Operations mission the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Juggernauts]], soldiers fitted in heavy armour capable to absorb [[MadeOfIron insane amounts of damage]], including grenades, C4 and MG bullets. Usually the only way to kill them is to use heavy weapons like [=RPGs=] and some rounds of sniper rifles; the problem is that they charge on you on sight, and since they are armed with powerful weapons and have a nice firing accuracy it demands a lot of effort to turn them down.
** It should be noted that their suits resemble modified heavy bomb squad armour. They reappear in ''Black Ops'', where their armour was changed to resemble some modified riot gear (however with a military helmet).
*** [[LoweredMonsterDifficulty Though they became a good bit less durable]], and a simple [[BoomHeadshot headshot]] from any assault rifle could insta-kill them.
** In ''Modern Warfare 3'', [[spoiler: Price and Yuri]] don Juggernaut armor and [[spoiler: blast their way into the hotel where Makarov is hiding.]]
* At the end of ''LegacyOfKain: Soul Reaver 2'', Raziel becomes TheJuggernaut when he picks up the Reaver Blade, turning him entirely invulnerable, and making the rest of the game - a long series of bosses - a complete walkover. And he can't drop or lose the blade.
* In the original ''VideoGame/VandalHearts'', a long series of optional quests makes it possible to transform the main character into the Vandalier, with incredible defenses, an evasion rate that bordered on MadeOfAir, and the ability to cast any spell in the game (including some utterly broken ones that are usually only available to the enemies) - a GameBreaker if there ever was one. Everything in the game beyond that point, including the final boss, is a joke.
* In ''ShadowHearts: From the New World'' the de facto BigBad, Lady, appears to be completely unstoppable, says almost nothing, and seems to have no real goals. She kills people largely because they happen to be in her way. She also sometimes kisses people.
* ''{{Freespace}} 2'' features the [[OmnicidalManiac Shivans]]' Sathanas, which is even classified as a Juggernaut as it's bigger than anything the [[TheAlliance Galactic Terran-Vasudan Alliance]] has save their own Juggernaut-type ship (which is admittedly not as powerful). It grinds through the GTVA's star systems until it's finally destroyed in a climactic showdown (the mission is even named "High Noon"). And then it goes FromBadToWorse - ''a fleet'' of the things shows up, destroys the good guys Juggernaut, and the Shivans [[ApocalypseHow blow up the Capellan star system.]]
** Shivans are rather fond of this trope: the first game featured the [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast ''SD Lucifer'']], a super-destroyer with shields so powerful that literally ''nothing'' in the Allied arsenal could bring it down. The Lucifer [[ApocalypseHow glasses Vasuda Prime]], and sets course for Earth, destroying everything in its path. Then scientists uncover ruins of the Ancients--a race destroyed by the Shivans thousands of years ago--who left behind a [[FlingALightIntoTheFuture dying message in the hopes of aiding some future race]]: Shivan ships can't use their shields in Subspace, and ships can be tracked into subspace (the means for which is provided in the message). Using this, you scramble a last-ditch attempt to pull this off, destroying the Lucifer just as it nears the exit to Earth. By the sequel, a GTVA destroyer is a match for a Lucifer-class ship, and the GTVA Colossus--a Juggernaut in its own right, designed to ''engage multiple Lucifer-class ships at once and win'', embodies this trope for any ship that isn't Shivan. The Shivans, not to be one-upped, reveal the Sathanas in the sequel, which is somewhere around five kilometers in length, two-three kilometers in height and width, and bristling with twice as much firepower as the Colossus. Destroying one is a major effort in itself, even for the vastly-stronger Alliance in the sequel. When ''several'' of them start showing up after that, [[GenreSavvy the GTVA command knows to prepare to destroy both jump nodes connecting the adjoining system to the rest of GTVA territory]]. This move saves them and is completely vindicated when ''EIGHTY'' of them show up, and then begin to ''make Capella's sun go supernova''. Given how casually the Shivans sacrifice at least a dozen Sathanas's, several cruisers, and some destroyers, one has to wonder if they have something even bigger.
* In ''GearsOfWar'' the Berserker fits this trope to a tee. She (yes, she, as she's apparently a normal drone - only female) is blind, but has an acute sense of hearing that will lead her to charge towards the noise, and ''[[ImmuneToBullets nothing]]'' can stop her - the only way for Marcus and Dom to kill the Berserkers they encounter is by [[spoiler:using the [[KillSat Hammer of Dawn]] on one]] and [[spoiler:when encountering one on a ''train'', tricking her into either running onto a train carriage which is then severed from the train or a pile of explosives (if this troper's memory serves him correctly).]]
* ''Left4Dead'' gives us their version of The Juggernaut in the Tank, a zombie that can best be described as at least 600 pounds of undead muscle and condensed hatred for anything that still has a pulse. Walls? It smashes through them. Cars? It punches them at the survivors. The only way to come out of a fight with a Tank is lots of firepower, LOTS of running, and good teamwork.
** Chargers, from Left 4 Dead 2, are a minor example. They can charge through doors and windows and such, and have more health than any of the other normal special infected, but what qualifies them for this is what they do after they've charged a survivor. There is absolutely no way to get a Charger to release the person it's grabbed. Either it dies, or they do. And the extra health means that you can empty entire magazines of some weapons directly into them without killing them.
** Funnily enough, all the infected including the Tank itself [[TechnicallyLivingZombie DO have a pulse]].
* ''VideoGame/LegendOfLegaia'' has a type of Seru known as Juggernaut... and the one you meet is the BigBad's partner. Luckily, you never have to fight him.
* Rocky from ''AdventuresOfLolo''. While he can't kill Lolo, he is capable of overpowering the blue guy, and is almost never found in the same room as Magic Shots. Even if Lolo does find a Magic Shot or two, firing them at Rocky won't turn him into an egg, like most other monsters. If Lolo is backed into a corner by one or more Rockys, the only hope for him is to use a PuzzleReset and try again.
* Alex Mercer from ''VideoGame/{{Prototype}}'' has access to hyper-fast LeParkour moves (he'll even climb a building running at full speed), but if traffic is too big, he can shift his arms into shields to push cars away (and crush people) or transform his whole body into a very thick armor made of his own hardened tissue.
* Illith of ''{{Lusternia}}'' was known as both [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast "the Leviathan" and "the Juggernaut"]] prior to her [[SealedEvilInACan defeat]], and with good reason: she rampaged unstoppably through the whole length and breadth of the planet, devouring everything in her path. It could take ''hundreds'' of years for her to reach your settlement, but [[KillEmAll once she got around to it]]...
* [[SilentHill Pyramid Head]].
* Not to be confused with the enemies called Juggernauts, ''VideoGame/{{Marathon}}'' had a DummiedOut monster called the Armageddon Beast that would basically be this.
* [[RobotBuddy Dog]] in ''{{Half-Life}} 2'' and its Episodes is a heroic version of this trope; literally ''nothing'' in the game can stop him. Combine soldiers? Crushed. APC? Hurled aside. Dropship? Climbed on top of as it attempts to flee. Strider? Dog ''tears out its Goddamn brain''. He even manages to injure one of the horrifically powerful Combine Advisors [[spoiler:at the end of ''Episode Two'']], though it's easy to miss [[TearJerker through your tears]].
* In MassEffect, it's possible to turn the player character into one [[GameBreaker using the right build.]] Wading through walls of light-speed bullets, high-tech rockets, and guns that [[NegativeSpaceWedgie shoot disruptions in space-time]]? Piece of cake.
** Don't forget Sovereign. During [[spoiler:the battle for the Citadel in the first game, after Sovereign appears, the massed warships of the Citadel Council open fire on him. Sovereign doesn't even bother firing back; he just ''plows right through them and doesn't even get scratched''.]]
** Reapers in general can barely ever even be slowed down, let alone destroyed. On the rare occasion we actually see one get destroyed, the sheer amount of firepower aimed at it is nothing short of mind-boggling, and would probably be enough to reduce most conventional ''fleets'' to dust.
** MassEffect 2's Shepard is definitely this, even alone, tears through enemies as if their [[ArmorIsUseless armour was made of paper]]. Being enhanced through cybernetics and having enhanced tech makes about 50 enemies like a 4 minute fight. Takes a Reaper tech device at full power to bring him/her down. Even sedated, it doesn't stop him/her for long. In fact each dose of sedative had to constantly get increased because Shepard grew ''[[AcquiredPoisonImmunity immune]]'' to it.
** Mass Effect 3 brings us the multiplayer-only Krogan Vanguard class, aka the [[FanNickname murder train]]. And then to top ''that'', the final multiplayer DLC gives us the Geth Juggernaut, a class that can tank anything thrown at it, and gives absolutely zero fucks to anything.
* The TowerDefense game ''VideoGame/DefenseGridTheAwakening'' has an enemy that goes by this name. It can steal three [[HitPoints cores]] (the max for any enemy), and it can take a lot of damage due to having high health AND DeflectorShields. Fortunately for you, [[MightyGlacier it is the slowest enemy unit in the game]].
* Liberty Prime in VideoGame/{{Fallout3}}. When he first appeared, it was a MassOhCrap moment for the Enclave.
** If you weren't able to cripple limbs, Deathclaws would certainly be this. They can take you out with a couple of hits since their claws completely ignore armor as if you weren't wearing any. And once they spot you, they ''sprint'' towards you and their hitpoints are far too high for you to kill them using anything short of the alien blaster or fat man before they close the distance. The only way to kill them safely is to cripple their legs with a sniping weapon before they notice you. Unless you have a [[GameBreaker dart gun]], that is. Unfortunately in ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'', they axed the Dart Gun and made the Deathclaws even tougher. Fitting this trope even better is the [[BonusBoss Legendary Deathclaw]] from that game.
** In another interesting example, Yao Guai, giant mutated black bears, are every bit as powerful as Deathclaws, and with a certain perk, can fight on your side. Like Deathclaws, they can be taken down easily by shooting them first with the Dart Gun, which instantly cripples the legs of these fast powerhouses.
** Then there's the [[ScaryScorpions Albino Radscorpions]], only encountered if you have the Broken Steel DLC. They have loads of health, staggering offense and damage resistance, and unlike the Deathclaws or Yao Guai, ''cannot be crippled with the Dart Gun''. Good luck.
** And finally, we have the Feral Ghoul Reaver. Not only does this thing send you flying as far as a deathclaw can with its also armor-piercing DeadlyLunge, but it also can spazout and become invincible. the twitchy dance of doom that the F3 reaver does is ultimate Nightmare Fuel. Later, in New Vegas, the Reaver becomes a simple, non-threatning mook.
* ''VampireTheMasqueradeBloodlines'' gives us the werewolf; your weapons do nothing, your Disciplines do nothing, and the only way to survive the beast is either to evade it for four minutes and escape on the tram [[spoiler:or crush it to death with the doors to the observatory.]]
* [[spoiler: The Hybrid Reaver]] in the secret mission in ''VideoGame/StarcraftII''. [[spoiler: While the ones fought in the Protoss mini-campaign are killable]], this one will shrug off anything done to it. The only weapon that is effective against it is a device that ''slows down time'' -- this only slows it down for a few seconds. Once it appears, the only goal in the mission is to ''get the hell out of Dodge''.
** The Ultralisk in the cinematics. It can shrug off Siege Tank fire and swipes aside a [[TransformingMecha Viking]] in one hit without breaking stride.
* It's not too hard to make the [[VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins Grey Warden]] into a Juggernaut if he/she uses an Arcane Warrior build. It's ridiculously easy to do this in ''Awakening'' thanks to the new equipment available and the new Mage spells/talents and Battlemage specialization, all of which seem tailormade to make Arcane Warriors even ''more'' broken. Soloing everything on Nightmare with the possible exception of the BonusBoss becomes utterly trivial. As a possible Lampshade, the unique set of armor that can be found in the same area as the Arcane Warrior specialization is called the Juggernaut set.
* The Nemesis in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis'' is a walking juggernaut of NightmareFuel. He can appear anywhere, will relentlessly pursue you from room to room, and gets back up quickly after you knock him down. Don't forget the rocket-launcher on his arm.
** Mr. X in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2'' is also a walking dispenser of pain and terror. Smashing through walls in the police station just as players pass by, and the cut-scene where he stands back up ''repeatedly''...
* The Ultimate Chimera from ''VideoGame/{{Mother 3}}''. Can nothing kill it?
** Certainly not in ''SuperSmashBrothersBrawl''!
* The mutated rancor in ''JediAcademy''. The whole level it's on is all about running away from it as it ploughs through more regular enemies and breakable scenery. When time you make it to a new area that is inaccessible to a creature of its size, it will bang on the wall or other obstacle until its shatters, and go on coming. It's invulnerable to all attacks (except the trick at the very end that kills it, of course) and possesses some mean ones of its own.
* In VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum, Killer Croc [[InformedAbility technically qualifies]]. You never actually BEAT him, you either set off a shock-collar that throws his whole nervous system out of whack for a few seconds so he doesn't run you over like a bulldozer and [[IAmAHumanitarian bring you home for dinner]], or blow out a floor to send him hurtling to the stygian depths. After which he can be heard YELLING UP AT YOU for a few seconds. [[spoiler:And depending on the random generator during the ending sequence, you might see his hand burst from the water to grab a surviving case of Titan.]]
* Evil Otto from {{Berzerk}}, a taunting, invincible smiley face.
* The game ''Juggernaut''. Okay, so there aren't any characters that fit the description, but when you get to the end and [[spoiler: realize that the priest who has been helping you is basically an unstoppable, evil force bent on selling souls to Satan and corrupting innocent people]], the title makes more sense.
* ''VideoGame/InFamous 2'' introduces the Beast, an incredibly powerful Conduit. His [[PlayingWithFire fire powers]] are powerful enough to destroy entire cities, and any damage done to him is [[HealingFactor quickly healed.]] The entire game is spent trying to get Cole powerful enough to face him. During this time, the Beast is slowly making his way down the United States' east coast to kill Cole, destroying everything and everyone in his path. [[spoiler: The only way to kill the Beast is to use a very strong PowerNullifier, at the cost of killing several thousand innocent people.]]
** [[spoiler: However, if the player chooses not to use the PowerNullifier The Beast stops ''himself'' instead, by [[TakeUpMySword passing his mantle and powers to Cole.]]]]
* In ''VideoGame/AsurasWrath'' ...Asura. The trailers clearly show that anyone that stands in his way is doubtlessly TooDumbToLive.
* The Destroyer in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfSpyro'', it's an ancient EldritchAbomination the size of a mountain that is virtually ''unstoppable'' once it gets going and if it's allowed to reach the volcano it emerged from again, it starts TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt. The only way to ''hope'' to defeat it is to slow it down long enough to destroy every single Dark Crystal on it's massive body, including going inside it and blowing up it's heart. [[spoiler:And even that fails if the BigBad just so happens to have a backup crystal handy...]] The Golem probably counts as well, as it's virtually unstoppable until a lucky attack uncovers it's brain, allowing Spyro and Cynder to kill it.
* The Dahaka in ''VideoGame/PrinceOfPersiaWarriorWithin'' is a classic example -- silent, unstoppable, and [[http://princeofpersia.wikia.com/wiki/File:Dahaka_red_eyes.jpg scary as hell]]. He's been chasing the Prince relentlessly for seven years, and he'll chase you throughout the game. You can't even ''try'' to fight him without the secret InfinityPlusOneSword.
* The SA-X in ''MetroidFusion'', an alien duplicate of Samus at her most powerful. (Samus herself has just picked up the BagOfSpilling.) It can't be fought, only escaped, until the very end -- and it puts up a hell of a fight then. The ultimate proof of its power can be seen [[http://www.metroid2002.com/fusion/other_shinesparked_sa-x.php here]], where a clever player manages to Speed Boost right into the SA-X... ''and through it''.
** Considering her incredible attack power and ridiculous amounts of health, Samus herself would qualify as this in most of the games.
* ''VideoGame/AgarestSenki'' subverts this with the Black Knight. It firstly appears to be a boss that takes Leonhardt out easily [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard with an ability to self-recover at the same amount of max health and hit more than 1000 HP per combo while Leo has around 300]], just to make sure the players can't cheat their way out alive. When you faces him again, he's not as tough anymore.
* The (mechanical?) monster from Dungeons & Dragons mentioned above makes an appearance in the D&D Real-time Strategy game Blood & Magic in the final levels of one of the campaigns.
* 'CityOfHeroes'' has a [[TheJuggernaut Juggernaut]] in the [[FunWithAcronyms Minds of Mayhem]] trial: the PlayerCharacters have to find a way to stop a psychic projection of [[OneBadMother Mother]] from reaching a symbol of the local SentientCosmicForce, or that section of the raid effectively resets. Mother's projection does not attack during this phase; it slowly...methodically...floats...toward its goal, and can only be stopped by [[spoiler: using manifestations of its own nightmares against it]]. While it's not as invulnerable as other examples, Mother's manifestation is still almost impossible to defeat in time without using this little trick.
* The previously GlassCannon Hunters in the ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' series were upgraded to this in the later games, especially ''HaloReach'', where they are outright {{Lightning Bruiser}}s that are very difficult to hit in their weak points, take buckets of damage, and will chase you down and OneHitKill melee you once you get close, if their Fuel Rod Cannons don't kill you first.
* ''CommandAndConquerRedAlert3'' ''Uprising'' the Empire Giga Fortress a massive naval unit that can transform into a flying fortress. It can dish out an immense amount of firepower on both forms, and can take a heck load of damages.
* Videogame/TeamFortress2 has the Tank in Mann vs Machine. There is absolutely no way to slow it down, has nothing resembling a weak point, and will mindlessly plow into anything in its (preset) path until it reaches your base and drops a bomb inside. Worse yet, it acts as a distraction for the robots who can attack you, and carry their own bomb. Taking it down usually requires several crit canteens and focused fire from everyone on your team.
* Alexander, the murderous, genocidal GeneralRipper villain from Inotia 4. He arrives through a faulty portal gate that was explicitly stated to have killed a good percentage of his men, effortlessly bypasses ancient elven enchantments that hundreds before him fell victim to, shrugs off an avalanche, curbstomps the protagonist, and THEN decides to drink a potion that makes him 10 times stronger, so he can massacre an entire village for the heck of it. Ancient guardian machines go haywire when he approaches so his men can effortlessly loot them. And that's BEFORE he [[spoiler: turns himself into a dragon]]. His mission? Kill a sick woman for not endorsing a war. This guy eats terminators for breakfast.
* Kratos from ''VideoGame/GodOfWar''. Once he's fixated on a goal, nothing will stop him. Even if you manage to kill him, he'll climb back out of Hades even angrier than before.
* ''VideoGame/{{NieR}}'' has several boss Shades that fall under this.
** The DiscOneFinalBoss is a ''massive'' Shade called the Knave of Hearts that attacks Nier's village. It shrugs off most of Nier and Kaine's attacks, even their superpowered finishers, until they team up to cut it in half and shoot it full of magical lances...and even then, all that destroys is the main body. The head still remains, and it proves to be so hard to kill that Kaine allows herself to be [[TakenForGranite petrified]] just to lock it away.
* In ''[[VideoGame/WithFriends Running With Friends]]'', the Bull Ride bonus lets you jump on a bull's back and go plowing through obstacles that you normally would have to avoid.

* Cans from the Midnight Crew Intermission in ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' is the biggest and strongest member of The Felt and, along with Clover (who is too lucky to be killed off conventionally) and Snowman (who can't be killed without taking the rest of the universe with her), is one of the few members of the gang that does not get killed by the Midnight Crew. [[ThereWasADoor He can easily plow through walls Kool-aid Man style]] at [[LightningBruiser lightning speed]]. Even worse, his time related power lets him literally punch people into next week or into a different ''calendar year''. The Midnight Crew are understandably reluctant to face him.
--->Suddenly the whole vault room is shaking... It sounds suspiciously like Cans is about to plow through the wall Kool-Aid Man style. You pray to God that it is not Cans about to plow through the wall Kool-Aid Man style.
* Jones from ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'' wouldn't look like she would fit this trope at a first glance, being a rather short, quiet and unassuming woman, but there is no known force in the universe that could even cut her hair, let alone pierce her skin, and when she's determined to go somewhere, [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=725 even concrete walls barely slow her down]].

** To give you an idea of just how unstoppable it is, a [[GatlingGood GAU-19]] gunner once fired [[MoreDakka 600 .50 calibre rounds into an enraged 096 over a period of twenty seconds]]. It. Barely. ''[[NoSell Flinched]]''.
** [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-076 SCP-076]]-2, "Able", is also very difficult to destroy, able to continue its killing spree even under heavy fire. Once, the Foundation had to detonate an on-site nuke, killing all personnel present there, just to stop him. In addition, he cannot be killed permanently, as he will be regenerated by SCP-076-1. If you're lucky, the process could take up to 25 years. If you're not lucky, "Able" could be revived in only six hours!
* The Ginosaji in ''WebVideo/TheHorriblySlowMurdererWithTheExtremelyInefficientWeapon''. Nothing can stop it from -- eventually -- killing its target.
* Atlantis DSV from http://atlantisdsv.newcapequest.com/library/index.html . It was destroyed in end, but it destroyed several times its own weight in Macronesian submarines before that happened.
* Malachyte from SuburbanKnights. This is most prominent when he's seen crossing a road, and a car that collides with him just outright explodes and he just keeps walking.
* {{Literature/Worm}} features The Siberian. Silent, her power makes her a literal unstoppable force to the point that she and anything she touches can become completely immune to external effects. She doesn't bother with clothes and fights mainly by [[FoeTossingCharge running into]] [[MadeOfPlasticine the enemy]].
* Maine from [[{{redvsblue}} Red vs Blue.]] Not only does he take an entire pistol clip to the throat at one point, but after that he seems more unstoppable than ever. This most likely being because of [[spoiler: [[{{theCorruption}} Sigma's]]]] control over him after said incident. After his defection, he goes on a virtually unstoppable rampage in search for Freelancer [[{{artificialintelligence}} AI]], and nothing short of [[spoiler: being dragged off a cliff by a Warthog into a freezing ocean]] seems to be able to stop him.

* The second appearance of Amazo in ''JusticeLeagueUnlimited'' falls squarely into this trope. The android, having absorbed untold amounts of power, charges through the entire GreenLantern Corps and the entire extended roster of the Justice League to get to Lex Luthor. It even moved a planet out of its way [[spoiler:without destroying it and later bringing it back with little more than a thought]]. That planet was [[spoiler: OA, the HQ of the Guardians of the Universe themselves.]]
** He was almost as bad during his debut. He was able to duplicate and mix all the powers of the original Justice League and was only stopped when someone convinced him to 'look for knowledge' somewhere ''other'' than on Earth. Guess that came back to bite the JL HARD.
** The Annihilator, an {{Expy}} of Marvel Comics' Destroyer (mentioned above), was virtually unstoppable, as it drew power from conflict itself (and thus any attacks on it only strengthened it). [[spoiler: Fortunately, this meant you could beat it by ''not'' fighting it.]]
** The second appearance of Solomon Grundy. Dr. Fate, Green Lantern, Superman, and even Amazo could not take him down. Repeat, AMAZO COULD NOT TAKE HIM DOWN.[[hottip:*: Grundy was being empowered by 'chaos energy' and Amazo was a source of it. He was simply making Grundy stronger.]]
* Vilgax, from ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}''. Oddly enough, it takes a while for VillainDecay to set in, which it finally does in the MadeForTVMovie... and even after that he can't be stopped permanently, just flung into the depths of space with fingers crossed. At the end of season two, he was [[SealedEvilInACan in the Null Void]], and how he managed to get back from AnotherDimension was never addressed. A TimeTravel episode at the start of season three showed him dead and ''in pieces'', but he was quickly [[BackFromTheDead revived]].
** ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'' shows that Vilgax's power goes even farther than that. He defeats ten of the galaxy's most powerful warriors, gets hurled into space (again), sinks to the bottom of the ocean after being caught in his ship's explosion, and if the synopsis from ''WesternAnimation/Ben10UltimateAlien'''s series finale is anything to go by, [[spoiler: he survives an encounter from an EldritchAbomination.]]
** [[spoiler:Not only did he survive defying it, he took its power when it was otherwise occupied.]]
* ''MyLittlePony'': Nothing can stop the Smooze!
* The gigantic [[PlanetEater Beast Planet]] in ''ShadowRaiders''. A pitch-black, indestructible metallic sphere that sleeps within stars while its Mooks find new prey. Then, it moves ever forward, intent on devouring a fresh new Planet, teeming with life. Use the awe-striking WaveMotionGun you built out of a Moon? Kiss [[TheWorfBarrage that Moon bye-bye]]. RammingAlwaysWorks? They tried [[SenselessSacrifice ramming an entire planet into it]]. Rig another planet to self-destruct inside it like a TimeBomb? [[BigEater Didn't even burp from the indigestion]]. Rig yet another planet so it [[TransportersAndTeleporters teleports it to the other side of the galaxy]]? [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Congratulations, you just doomed another innocent, inhabited planet who didn't even see it coming]], with the added bonus that the Beast [[MegaManning might just have assimilated that teleporter tech it just ate]]. And the Beast is ''[[ImplacableMan STILL. COMING. FOR. YOU]]''. It ''will'' get you. Not today. Maybe not tomorrow. Eventually, it will.
* Similarly, Unicron from ''WesternAnimation/TransformersTheMovie''. A giant monster planet that eats whatever's in his path, and ''completely impervious'' to any sort of conventional weaponry. DETONATING A MOON inside his maw didn't even leave a dent, and the combined arsenal of '''an entire planet of robots that transform into war machines''' simply irritated him. Lucky for everyone that the good guys had a spare AmuletOfConcentratedAwesome lying around...
* [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Rampage]] from ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' in his first apperance. He's effectively what happens when TheJuggernaut meets SerialKiller and GeniusBruiser. The results are less than pretty to say the least, and it's only by disabling his treads that they're able to temporarily stop him. After [[BigBad Megatron]] put a RestrainingBolt on him he did suffer from some severe VillainDecay, although even then he remained an ImplacableMan of the first order.
* ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'':
** Yono in the episode "Oh No! Yono!". ("What part of "Yono the Destroyer" confuses you?!"). He swatted Kim and Yori away with ease, and turned Kim, Sensei and Rufus [[TakenForGranite into stone]], destroying everything in the process. Left because couldn't hit Hana, who kept dancing all over the place. Ron unfortunately was held at bay by monkey ninjas.
** Ron in the last episode, when he [[spoiler: throws Warmonga and Warhok into their own spaceship blowing it up]].
* [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Savage Opress]] from ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars''. No jedi is a match for him in single combat and even multipe jedi with clone trooper back up could steer him in another direction. [[spoiler: This changes when Darth Maul revives. The elder brother forecefully lays down the RuleOfTwo on the younger and after serving as TheApprentice for a time he is killed by Darth Sidious with little difficulty.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'': Aang becomes completely unstoppable once he enters the Avatar State, and [[spoiler: the final showdown between Avatar-State Aang and BigBad Ozai]] is a great example of what happens [[CurbStompBattle when someone tries to fight the juggernaut.]]
** [[BigBad Amon]] from ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra''. [[spoiler: He pushed through Tarrlok's bloodbending with only a moment's visible difficulty, and a ''lightning bolt to the chest'' only stunned him.]] It is later revealed that [[spoiler: Amon is a master bloodbender himself, quite possibly the most powerful who ever lived, and he withstood Tarrlok's assault by bloodbending himself, and he may have used a similar technique to survive the lightning bolt.]]
* ''JonnyQuest'' has Dr. Zin's robot spy. Dr. Zin brags to Dr. Quest and Race Bannon all about his new machine since they won't be able to stop it leaving. The heroes immediately learned that Zin is not bluffing as they desperately try to bring down the spidery robot with everything on the army base from rifles to tanks, but ''nothing'' does more than barely slow it before Dr. Quest shoots it out of the sky with his Para-Power Raygun.

* The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt was nicknamed ''Juggernaut'' by their pilots. The plane looked very clumsy and ungainly at first sight, and the pilots thought ''they'' were being sacrificed to fly suicide missions in those planes. When the [[LightningBruiser true nature of the plane]] became apparent, the name stuck - only now it was the Germans and Japanese who were to face the juggernaut when they went up against the P-47. The name was then shortened affectionately to ''Jug'', as the fuselage shape resembled a milk jug.
** The next US Thunderbolt, the Fairchild-Republic [[CoolPlane A-10 Thunderbolt II]], is quite similar. [[BoringButPractical Extremely slow]], [[TheAestheticsOfTechnology extremely ugly]], and completely indestructible (the thing has flown missing an entire wing and an entire engine), and is capable of [[DeathFromAbove raining down bullets and ordnance on any ground target]]. Like its WWII-era granddady, it has an unrelated, commonly-used nickname ("Warthog") that reflects its appearance and its unstoppability (seriously guys: if you ever find yourself in the path of an actual warthog or other wild pig, get out of its way as fast as you can).
* [[ZeppelinsFromAnotherWorld Zeppelins.]] During the "First Blitz" of London in WorldWarOne, they were utterly unstoppable. The British unloaded fusillades of heavy anti-aircraft fire and even artillery into the Zeppelins, but Zeppelins are inherently under zero internal pressure and have little in the way of solid structures, meaning that they were almost entirely [[ImmuneToBullets immune to bullets and shells.]] The rockets, missiles, fighter aircraft and bombs (even [[FlechetteStorm exploding flechettes!]]) designed specifically to destroy Zeppelins had an abysmal 0% success rate (it probably didn't hurt that Zeppelins [[MoreDakka had more guns than any other aircraft in history]]). This went on for ''years.'' Things changed for the Zeppelin bombers when the British invented the incindiary bullet to ignite their [[MadeOfExplodium Hydrogen,]] though, and by war's end a third were shot down.
* The original [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juggernaut Juggernauts]], of course. Hindu temple cars that reputedly tended to crush devotees in their path by accident, though first accounts mistook these accidents for human sacrifices.
* A Greek phalanx was a ten-thousand-or-so men. It just kept marching until it trampled everyone in its way. At least until they met AncientRome. The phalanx would have trampled even the Romans, had the Romans tried frontal assault. Too bad that the Romans weren't stupid enough to charge a phalanx from the front: their standard tactics were to either slow it down with a smaller phalanx while most of their army defeated what unit covered its vulnerable flanks and attacked there until it lost cohesion, or, when the enemy commander was stupid enough to not cover those vulnerable flanks, to lure it on rough terrain, wait for it to charge and lose cohesion and then [[DeathFromAbove attack with a crapload of javelins]] to break it down, at which point the Romans would simply march in close formation. Both tactics ended with DeathByIrony: the former caused the phalanx to be trampled by the Roman phalanx supposed to hold it down, and the latter ended with the broken up phalanx trampled by the Romans advancing in compact formations.
* Main Battle Tanks, such as the American M1 Abrams tank. The Abrams itself uses complex composite armour that can be augmented by reactive armour and depleted uranium 'strike plates', making it extremely durable. It should be noted that they are far from truly invincible; many have been disabled or destroyed by ambushes, improvised explosives, and unfortunately, a few counts of friendly fire. Still, in most situations -- and as far as old Soviet-era tanks are concerned -- the Abrams and its kin are indeed Juggernauts.
** This could be seen in one incident where a madman stole a tank and started to drive it all over the local town. Nobody could do ''anything'' about it, as the thing rolled over cars, barricades and such without slowing down, and shrugged off anything the police had. It was only when it got a tread stuck in a house's basement that they could yank the hatch open and shoot the hijacker down.
* While not exactly the same thing, Toshiba sold a VCR that once you set the time to record a show, and it started recording, ''absolutely nothing would stop its completion.'' The stop button is ignored. The remote control is ignored. Even if you ''unplugged the VCR for some time and plugged it back in'' as soon as it was reconnected to power, ''it would resume recording.'' The only way you could stop a timed recording before the time ran out was to unplug the machine and plug it back in ''while holding down the stop button.'' It was more tenacious than the Postal Service: neither rain, nor snow, nor disconnection of electricity would prevent this courier (of video tape) from the swift (or at least as long as the time period was) completion of its appointed rounds (and rounds, and rounds...).
* The {{rhino|Rampage}} is usually a GentleGiant, but if you piss it off...lets just say that stopping it from impaling you with its horn is easier said than done.
