** The Phaerimm, an AlwaysChaoticEvil species of sadistic, floating parasites with great magical talent whose very lifecycle does not just involve [[BodyHorror defiling]] [[ChestBurster living things]], but also destroying the environment itself. [[OutsideContextProblem They are so alien to the world of Toril]] that their very presence, just their existence, endangers everything around them. They way in which they use magic kills plants and creates deserts, the way in which they move distrurbs gravity, the way in which they feed goes against the gods. What makes them truly evil, and not just a product of their being, is the fact that they have come to the Realms knowing that they will not live so long as they roam it. They are not looking to conquer and control the Realmsphere, they just simply do not care that they are killing it.

''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' has its fair share of Eldritch Abominations, varying in size and severity, from the kind your players might have a chance against if they get some lucky rolls, to the kind that consumes universes for funsies. Note that several settings have their own specific abominations. All have been gathered here for simplicity's sake.

** Khyber, the Dragon Below, [[AmbiguousSituation assuming the Progenitors really existed]]. One of the three dragon-gods who created the Eberron setting, Khyber is large enough to form ''the core of the planet''. [[DugTooDeep Digging too deep]] - which can just be expanding the sewer system - can lead you into openings into the demiplanes that make up its body. Said demiplanes include such wonderful places as the Abyssal Forests of Khaar, or the Palace of Sinew, prison of the daelkyr Dyrrn the Corrupter, or even the embodied heart of an Overlord.
** Each of the Overlords spawned from Khyber is a ludicrously powerful, utterly unkillable entity sealed in a LeakingCanOfEvil that exists to express its personal facet of malevolence, from endless war to murderous cold to undeath to the cruel and violent use of magic. The most "eldritch" is probably the Lurker in Shadow, which governs what Lovecraft himself called "the oldest and strongest kind of fear" - fear of the unknown, whether that be the prospect of sudden disaster or the sudden betrayal of a friend. The Lurker's minions include aboleths and shadow demons, and any kind of horrifying aquatic nightmare might be related to it.

* Warlock players can gain their powers from one of these, with the Great Old One's pact appearing as early as the player's handbook in 5th edition. As you might expect, the pact grants telepathy and various LovecraftianSuperpowers, and Cthulhu is explicitly noted as a potential patron. The Fathomless patron may also fit this trope, being a creature of the bottomless seas.
