Gentleman Troper!
What the...
This is an oxymoron; the trope Eldritch Abomination is by definition impossible in real life. I'd say we cut this.
Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!
Cut. No point to this.

Definitely cut.

>the trope Eldritch Abomination is by definition impossible in real life. (c) some trooper
>What actually defines the Eldritch Abominations (or as we puny Homo sapiens can only define them) is their defiance of natural law, _as humans understand it_. (c) article
As my little knowledge says, most humans do not know how universe really works, so there are many things, that breaks out of _usual_, everyday human understanding of natural laws. No offence, but most people are not phisicists.
Perpetually Confused
Yes but this trope is about creatures. Furthermore. This trope is about things that do not follow natural laws. Which none of the examples match. None are Reality Warper or share ANY traits given in the definition.
"X is hard for normal humans to comprehend" isn't this trope.

Yep, No Real Life Examples Please needed here.
Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.

I cutlisted it then, but at 194 inbounds, dunno if the cutmasters will cut it.
Could always make it redirect to the main article and lock it if they don't?

I also cutlisted it and also noted this thread on the discussion page, since it was suggested in other threads that this should become official policy - no TRS-sanctioned cut without noting it on discussion.

Think of the mooks!
If further votes are needed, another here to cut.
Reminder: Offscreen Villainy does not count towards Complete Monster.
Zzzzzzzzzz
Appears that it's been cut sometime between the making of this thread, and now. Locking.

...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.
EldritchAbomination.Real Life seems to have become a repository for... Frankly I don't even know how to explain it. Most of the examples aren't even connected to the main page definition (mostly being stuff that is odd or weird looking). Seriously the page has maybe one example that would kind of work (How animals would perceive humans and even then that's more Humans Are Cthulhu than Real Life examples of Eldritch Abomination.
