History EldritchAbomination / AnimeAndManga

* ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'':

** ''Manga/DragonBall'': The anime-only [[https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonball/images/a/a1/Yami2.png/revision/latest?cb=20101020124053 Darkness]] is one of the most mysterious and disturbing beings in the early series. Residing in a deep dark maze-like cave in snowy mountain, Korin doesn't explain what the Darkess is and only says it's guarding the Ultra Divine Water so that only the worthy can drink from it. Darkness has no clear form and even has the power to send to demonic snowmen to attack Goku and Yajirobi on the Moutain's surface and even more creepily Darkness can create illusions of Goku's friends and Kami House to try convince to remain in the cave ''forever''. The simple minded Goku is fooled briefly and doesn't question why his friends are speaking in horrifying echoes voices, or why Kami House is sitting inside a dark cave. Goku escapes from the illusions and proves his worth by saving Yajirobi, this causes the Darkness to allow Goku to drink the Ultra Divine Water when offers it to him waking up Goku's latent power and gives him the strength to fight King Piccolo. The creepy part is the Darkness still lurks in below in the Dragon Ball World. On a side note, it appears to be based on the Umibōzu of Japanese folklore.

** Millenniumon's line is yet another. In particular, his final form, [=ZeedMillenniumon=] is explicitly stated to be an abomination with no desire other than to roam around and destroy ''entire universes''. And whenever it appears anywhere, its intelligence and actual scope of harm may vary, but it's always taken seriously because it doesn't play around when it shows up. Special mentions to its ''Anime/DigimonGhostGame'' counterpart who killed a woman and proceeds to roleplay [[Film/TheThing the Thing]] inside her corpse with the sole motive of eradicating everything in the world.

** Both the Orichalcos stones in the Doma [[StoryArc arc]], and the Light of Ruin that the Society of Light in ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'''s second season is built around, are Eldritch Abominations that were born from spatial phenomena and have no purpose but to [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt doom the universe under their whims]]. Judai's Neospacians tell him that the Light of Ruin is a danger to all the cosmos.

Even Judai's Neospacians reminded him that the Light of Ruin was a literal danger to all the cosmos.

%%** [[spoiler: [[OmnicidalManiac Zarc]]]] from ''Anime/YuGiOhArcV'' becomes one after [[spoiler: fusing with his dragons.]]

** Most of the Angels do qualify, being made of... ''something'', have a human-like DNA, possessing barriers impenetrable to anything (and in some cases, can even become an entire sub-universe), but three in particular are noticeable. Leliel is an infinitely thin levitating disc that leads to AnotherDimension, with a 3-dimensional shadow [[MindScrew that casts its own shadow]]. Arael is [[LightIsNotGood colossal creature of light]] that can fire [[MindRape mind-raping]] beams from the orbit. Armisael is a gravity-defying, double helix in a perfect circle that inflicts horrific BodyHorror on [=EVAs=] and the pilots by [[TheAssimilator attempting to assimilate with them]].

** Adam and Lilith ([[spoiler:the progenitors of the Angels and humanity respectively]]) are leagues above the Angels and EVA. The former's mere ''awakening'' killed off half of humanity and terrified the survivors so thoroughly they thought the [=EVAs=] were a good idea, and the awakening of Lilith, as seen in ''End of Evangelion'', was such pure MindScrew that it surpasses everything else seen in the series combined, [[GainaxEnding and even screws with our real-life psyches]]. [[spoiler:By extension, this makes Kaworu and Rei, the vessels for their souls, {{Humanoid Abomination}}s.]]

* The World of ''Manga/OnePiece'' features a handful of shadowy figures that are so impossibly huge, they can stand in the middle of the ocean as if on land. First are the Sea Behemoths, immense humanoids that appear to be wearing some kind of armor and wield massive weapons, and the Florian Triangle monster. The former scared the Straw Hats to death to the point where they didn't even want to see what it was, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness which for them is very unusual]]. The latter is the largest creature ever seen in the series at around 54,000 feet tall. It's implied to be incredibly ancient and malevolent, as it's been destroying ships that enter its territory for hundreds of years and has glowing red eyes. While the Behemoths are implied to simply be [[spoiler:the People of the Sky, whose shadows were reflected on the clouds and amplified]], the latter's real identity is still shrouded in mystery.

** Some of the Homonculi, particularly Pride, when he isn't [[spoiler:[[AFormYouAreComfortableWith masquerading as a little boy]]]], is a [[LivingShadow colossal mass of shadows]] filled with eyes and mouths, often morphing into innumerable CombatTentacles, that could only be damaged by [[spoiler:essentially straining him through the Gate of Truth]]. Gluttony as well, being [[spoiler:a "fake" Gate of Truth]], essentially a black hole that can suck in an infinite amount of matter (there's a reason he's hungry all of the time). Envy seems to be this, with a OneWingedAngel form that resembles a huge chimera covered in the screaming faces of the people who make up his Philosopher's Stone, [[spoiler:although his true form is small and pathetic]].

* ''Anime/OnePiece'':
** The Lily Carnation from [[Anime/BaronOmatsuriAndTheSecretIsland Movie 6]] is probably the scariest monster in the franchise and there's absolutely no explanation to what exactly it is or where it came from other than being called a "a rare flower". In its base form it's just a cute little flower with eyes and mouth that's seemly growing out of Omatsuri's shoulder but then it turns out the titular villain is the flower's host and his been feeding it pirate crews so it can produce plant-replicates of the his dead crew. The pure NightmareFuel comes in when the most of Strawhats (Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper and Robin) have been swallowed by the abomination and Omatsuri reveals its [[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-n9qBBjXXub4/VOhGmuscLxI/AAAAAAAAAm0/gnK6PTziQ84/s1600/9908055_orig.gif horrifying true form]]. It's especially freaky when Baron Omatsuri uses the flower's power to reduce Luffy to a terrifying zombie-like state. Though the Lily Carnation is killed by a simple bow and arrow, it's nevertheless probably the most demonic and scary ''One Piece'' movie villain to date. Movie 6's writer Masahiro Ito is one of the creators of the ''Franchise/SilentHill'' series, which may explain the darker mood of the story compared the main series as well as the Eldritch Abomination in the aforementioned Lily Carnation.
** The World of ''One Piece'' features a handful of shadowy figures that are so impossibly huge, they can stand in the middle of the ocean as if on land. First are the Sea Behemoths, immense humanoids that appear to be wearing some kind of armor and wield massive weapons, and The Florian Triangle monster. The former scared the Straw Hats to death to the point where they didn't even want to see what it was, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness which for them is very unusual.]] The latter is the largest creature ever seen in the series at around 54,000 feet tall. It's implied to be incredibly ancient and malevolent, as it's been destroying ships that enter its territory for hundreds of years and has glowing red eyes. While the Behemoths were implied to simply be [[spoiler: the People of the Sky, whose shadows were reflected on the clouds and amplified]], the latter's real identity is still shrouded in mystery.
** The final opponent in ''Anime/OnePieceFilmRed'' is Tot Musica, a being that can only be described as the demonic embodiment of music. [[spoiler:Twelve years before the film's present, a young Uta accidentially summoned it. While she quickly ran out of power to sustain it, the kingdom of Elegia was destroyed regardless, with only the king and Uta surviving the devastation. In the movie's climax, she summons it once more, having eaten poisonous mushrooms that prevent her from falling asleep beforehand. And as it exists, Tot Musica begins to merge the real world with Uta's DreamLand.]]
* ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'': Toned down some from the games' Pokédex descriptions, but some of the Pokémon remain delightfully creepy. A Notable case is the Creation Trio in the Sinnoh movie trilogy, [[Anime/PokemonTheRiseOfDarkrai Dialga and Palkia's clashing]] can send a small city to an pocket dimension as well as dissolve it into another dimension. [[Anime/PokemonGiratinaAndTheSkyWarrior Giratina]] lives in an EldritchLocation that looks and feels off (especialy with the wonky gravity) and [[Anime/PokemonArceusAndTheJewelOfLife Arceus]] is still the equivalent of {{God}}. Most of these overlaps with AnimalisticAbomination.
** Unown in [[Anime/{{Pokemon 3}} Movie 3]] are, collectively, the most impenetrably enigmatic force in the Pokemon setting. They barely look like Pokemon, no-one knows where they came from, what they want, why they look like writing, how they think, or how they combine their individually miniscule psychic powers to arbitrarily rewrite local reality, or even what the curve of RealityWarper potential looks like as a group of Unown gains members. Their name even comes from the word "Unknown", and the only move they can learn is called "Hidden Power".
* The Nightwalker/Daidarabocchi in ''Anime/PrincessMononoke'' is the enormous and scary night form of the benevolent (but admittedly unsettling) Deer God/Shishigami, an already eldritch entity. While it's normally unsettling but benevolent, he's harmless to humans... [[spoiler: until his head is shot off and cut, resulting in the Nightwalker turning in a blob-like tide of dark matter which consumes all life in his path.]]
* In ''Manga/{{Psyren}}'', the giant asteroid Ouroborus hides an amorphous, silvery entity which, upon the asteroid's destruction, spread to cover the entire world, causing a massive global storm which destroyed the entire planet and turned it in the bleak wasteland that's the world of Psyren, ruled by the evil W.I.S.E. lead by Miroku Amagi. [[spoiler: It is later revealed that the thing inside the asteroid is a bona fide, planet-eating abomination called Quat Nevas, using the W.I.S.E. member Mithra as harald and manipulating Miroku and his life-generating Sephiroth Psi Power to gather enough energy to revive itself.]]

%%* The [[BlackMagic dark]] MagiTek of [[TheEmpire the Wischtech Empire]] in ''Manga/UbelBlatt'' is focused on either creating abominations or bestowing {{Lovecraftian Superpower}}s. Bonus points for its truly nightmarish use of HumanResources.
* In ''Manga/{{Uzumaki}}'', [[spoiler:[[GeniusLoci the]] [[EldritchLocation ruins]] [[BeneathTheEarth under the lake]]]] are [[TimeAbyss impossibly ancient]], the sole force responsible for the curse of the spirals and all the [[DrivenToMadness insanity]], [[BodyHorror mutations]], and [[CruelAndUnusualDeath deaths]] (and [[FateWorseThanDeath worse]]) throughout the manga... And they have done so before and will do it again probably for as long as there is sentient life on the planet.
* Katsushi Boda's segment in ''Anime/WinterDays'' features a giant monster. Although he is vaguely human-like, most of his body seems to be made out of pulsating tentacles.

* The BigBad of ''Anime/GodzillaPlanetEater'' and the ''Godzilla Anime Trilogy'' is Ghidorah, who in this version is a truly gigantic dimension-crossing organism made of energy that takes the form of a golden three-headed dragon whose necks alone are 20 Kilometers long. It's revealed that Ghidorah was pulling the strings ever since Godzilla appeared on earth in 2030, and that all the human-alien orchestrated event s(the emigration, the info dump on Godzilla, and the return to Earth) were all orchestrated by the Exif on HIS orders. When Ghidorah [[spoiler: destroys the aratrum]], it is shown that he can warp space and time itself, causing the crew to come the realisation that [[spoiler: they're already dead]]. When Godzilla attacks Ghidorah using his atomic breath, Ghidorah easily bends the atomic breath away from him.

** In general Sea Kings are the abominations of the Sea and some don't [[AnimalisticAbomination even resemble fish]]; beating just one is mark of a super human. The even bigger Sea Kings deep below the ocean near Fish-Man Island, meanwhile, are ''[[https://wastedfreetime.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/i625-0-13.jpg even scarier]]'' (enough to make Jimbei have a OhCrap moment), looking less the usual Sea fare and more like the Apostles from ''Manga/{{Berserk}}''. Mermaid Princess Shirahoshi can control them, which makes her ''Poseidon'' one of the Ancient Weapons of legend.

** The ''[[Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion Rebuild]]'' films turned Ramiel, Sahaquiel, and Zeruel into this. Ramiel is now a living geometry that constantly morphs through [[AlienGeometries impossible transformations]] whenever it is about to attack with a WaveMotionGun capable of melting mountains in one shot, constantly ''singing'' with inhuman voices and ''[[HellIsThatNoise screams]]'' whenever damaged. Sahaquiel becomes (by {{Kaiju}}-standards) a ''gargantuan'' thing that mixes traits from three Angels of the original series, including the aforementioned Leliel. Zeruel takes the cake, for while it visually doesn't look any different, now it has at least ''24 layers'' of AT-Field, can shoot off EyeBeams to one-shot a barrier that took Ramiel 10 hours to destroy, and [[spoiler:can consume an EVA whole, and transform its body (but not its head) into a naked, human woman body to gain the traits of an EVA]].

*** Episode 67 has [[MadGod Zamasu]] become a disembodied living metaphysical paradox, the result of killing a being that both is and is not immortal. It's akin to [[VideoGame/EarthBound Giygas]] and the heroes [[spoiler:[[GodzillaThreshold have to resort to summoning Zen'O to defeat it at the cost of the entire timeline.]]]]

* {{God}} in ''Manga/{{Devilman}}''. We don't see what he/she/it really looks like, but its chosen form is apparently [[LightIsNotGood a huge sphere of light]] [[BrownNote that kills any demon in its reach]] and [[MythologyGag turns any human who gets too close to it into salt]]. Plus [[spoiler: {{Satan}} [[HorrifyingTheHorror suffering a breakdown just from looking at it on TV]]]]. Which is understandable, since the reason why the ''Devilman''-[[TheVerse verse]] in all its incarnations is [[CrapsackWorld such a Happy Fun Place]] is because [[spoiler:God has total control over the cycle of death and rebirth of the universe [[GodIsEvil and uses it for the sole purpose of torturing Satan by crushing and ruining all he cares about over and over and over]]]].

** The virus-infected Cherubimon from the ''Supreme Evolution! The Golden Digimentals'' movie (or the final part of ''Digimon: The Movie'', if you prefer), a AngelicAbomination whose sheer existence warps space and is capable of bending time to his will. He is capable of regenerating virtually ad infinitum, and his insides are a chaotic pulsating mass of... something... filled with black spheres which represent the virus infecting him. Oh, and he's capable of appearing inside his own body somehow. Another one appeared in ''Anime/DigimonFrontier'', but that one lacks these reality-warping powers and is thus significantly less frightening.

** The virus-infected Cherubimon from the ''Supreme Evolution! The Golden Digimentals'' movie (or the final part of ''Digimon: TheMovie'', if you prefer), a psychotic mass of hate whose sheer existence warps space and is capable of bending time to his will. He is capable of regenerating virtually ad infinitum, and his insides are a chaotic pulsating mass of... something... filled with black spheres which represent the virus infecting him. Oh, and he's capable of appearing inside his own body somehow.
