TabletopGame:

* The Zendikar block of ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'' features the [[PlanetEater Planet-Eating]] EldritchAbomination Eldrazi Titans as its {{Big Bad}}s. Aside from the whole Planet-Eating thing, their main schtick is that, despite being living things, they are colorless, because they predate the colors of magic. For reference, InUniverse, the colors of magic are practically a law of nature; the Eldrazi are basically ''older than physics''.

Hatted, but there are already five, so I can just add this example after the fact if necessary.

EDIT: Oh hey, another one:

VideoGame:
* The BigBad of ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'' is revealed to be [[TwoAliasesOneCharacter One Character With Two Aliases]]: Yggdrasil, the leader of the evil organization Cruxis, is actually [[spoiler:Mithos, the legendary hero who ended the war]] which more or less marks the beginning of recorded history. Yuan and [[spoiler:Kratos Aurion]] are also just as ancient--they were his party members back then--but significantly less evil.

Pretty sure the Lich from ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' would be an example too, since (if I recall correctly) he dates from the time of the Mushroom Wars, but I'm not entrenched enough in the mythology or confident enough in that dating to do a proper write-up.
