** The web serial "The Kingdom" takes place in a parallel universe where, because of [[ForWantOfANail Matoro hesitating at a critical moment]], the Great Spirit Mata Nui died and the majority of the Matoran universe had to be evacuated. In the climax of the story, our Takanuva and a group of heroes from this universe confront Makuta Teridax[[note]]the original Makuta of the story, given a name after it was revealed that "Makuta" was the name of his species[[/note]], who has survived inside the wreckage of the universe for 10,000 years; he is now a proper example of this trope once more. He is described as a horrific 20-foot-tall amalgamation of the other Makuta he assimilated in order to keep himself alive; we don't get much of a description of him beyond that, which is probably for the best.

** Most entities included among the 27 [[TheDreaded Dead Apostle Ancestors]], which are ranked on how much threat they pose to humanity. As almost all of them are vampires (which originated from Crimson Moon Brunestud, [[AntagonistTitle Type Moon]]), it makes sense.

** The Ultimate Ones, [[SentientCosmicForce the sentient will of every world]] (including each planet), and [[PhysicalGod their physical incarnation]], The TYPES, which hit nearly every point of this trope. Although the specifics vary, they are typically [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever enormous]], [[NighInvulnerability unkillable]], [[RealityWarper alter the fundamental nature of reality in their vicinity]] just by ''existing'', and have [[BlueAndOrangeMorality thought processes that are completely incomprehensible]] to us PunyEarthlings.

** Most of the beings included in the [[TheDreaded Dead Apostle Ancestors]] list (a list for the top 27 beings most dangerous to humanity as a whole). Given that most of the beings listed there are vampires (originating from TYPE-Moon), it makes sense. Special mention, however, goes to the ones in top-10 ranks: especially Forest Of Einnashe (Rank-7, a living, dimension-hopping forest who became alive after the corpse of a powerful vampire was disposed of there), ORT (who is actually TYPE-Mercury, ''the'' strongest being in the franchise, but it is listed as a Rank-5 since it [[YouKillItYouBoughtIt annihilated the previous holder for disturbing its sleep]]), TYPE-Moon himself (who is ironically only Rank-3) and Primate Murder (Rank-1, a spiritual wolf created by Gaia, Ultimate One of the Earth, strong enough to annihilate the human race in mere seconds, if it is ever allowed to by his master).
** [[HumanoidAbomination The Servants]]. Souls pulled out from the cycle of death and rebirth, because they're remembered in the Collective Unconscious as "heroes". When resurrected as familiar spirits, they are completely immune to anything that is incapable of harming their spiritual bodies, and can consume human souls to empower themselves. This trope is especially true for the more powerful Servants, who can warp reality with their Noble Phantasms (A Servant's signature, most distinctive weapons or skills). To emphasise their incomprehensible nature, when a human tries to use a severed Servant's arm as a transplanted organ (since his own arm was severed), not only can said human access the memories of the Servant, the memories begin to ''completely destroy his mind''.

** The Ultimate Ones, To begin with, ''the planets of Solar system themselves'' are [[GeniusLoci living entities]]. It is stated celestial bodies which can support life on its body would eventually give birth to a soul within its core through [[SentientCosmicForce the sentient will Force of Causality]]. The planet's soul grows as life on it evolves, and they possess immense powers over reality; as a general rule, they literally alter the laws of reality on the planet in accordance to their perception of the cosmos. To illustrate this, Gaia manages a "Tree of Time" which consists of a number of ''parallel worlds'' created from fluctuations of possibilities, overseeing possible events which could unfold on its body as different timelines. It is often suggested other planets are much the same.

outliving Gaua]], who died at some point in a possible future of the franchise's chronology.
** Conversely, from the perspective of Gaia, [[HumansAreCthulhu humanity itself]] is this trope. At some point after humans were born in Earth's biosphere, they somehow gained independence from the planet's will and even developed ''their own collective force of will'', known as Alayashiki. This results in planet Earth having ''two'' entities managing its Tree of Time, and likewise Alaya also alters reality in accordance to humanity's understanding of the cosmos, a concept known as Human Order. As such, humans are generally seen as cancerous existences by agents of the Earth (which is not inaccurate given the events of ''Notes''), with Gaia and Alaya coming into conflict in various different manners depending on the timeline.
** Related to the above, due to Gaia's understanding of the cosmos [[RealityWarper literally shaping the laws of reality on Earth]] and Alaya mostly following the same laws, aliens (any lifeform which originates from outside Earth) naturally do not follow many of the laws which apply to just about everything else on the planet. Consequently, alien entities powerful enough to subvert the defense systems placed by Gaia and Alaya are generally viewed as this trope. The most notable example is [[VideoGame/FateExtella Sefar]], who killed about 70% of life on Earth (including ''gods'' born from Gaia and Alaya's laws), bringing an end to the Age of Gods.
** Most of the beings entities included in among the 27 [[TheDreaded Dead Apostle Ancestors]] list (a list for the top 27 beings most dangerous Ancestors]], which are ranked on how much threat they pose to humanity as a whole). Given that most humanity.

** ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' has the 72 Demons of the Literature/ArsGoetia. They are part of a spiritual HiveMind created by the Lesser Key of Solomon, [[PureMagicBeing a magecraft ritual given will and life]]. Each of them can manifest across any point of history, and when all of them combine their power they can perform the "Ars Almadel Salomonis" which creates ''[[LightEmUp billions of destructive light across all of history]]'' to burn ''all living beings'' and turn them into magical energy for further magical rituals. Further, the kanji used for their name can be either read "Demon Gods" or "Demon Pillars", and fittingly when manifesting physically, a single demon appears as a [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever giant pillar of putrid black flesh]], [[EyesDoNotBelongThere encircled at intervals by glowing red eyes]]. Even without any apparent mouth, they are able to vocalize with a distorted, inhuman ''shriek''. Further, they can [[TheCorruption corrupt]] and [[DemonicPossession possess living beings]] and turn them into a physical avatar of their HiveMind.
** From the same game, there are also the Evils of Humanity, also known as Beast-class Servants or Beasts of Calamity, threatening to annihilate humanity from existence. Each of them embodies a weakness of human nature (as such, the name of "Evil" is actually a bit misleading), such as Pity[[note]]the sheer arrogance of looking down on others for being different[[/note]], Regression, Desire, Comparison, Regret, Stagnation, etc. Each takes the form of a certain Eldritch Abomination created by either the planet itself or humanity; the aforementioned Goetia demons is in fact part of Beast I, representing Pity, the Demon God King Goetia, and the aforementioned Primate Murder is actually a potential version of Beast IV, representing Comparison. Each Beast has their own unique way of instilling TheCorruption upon all life. Their worst trait, however, is that ''none'' of them naturally has ''a concept of death''. Whenever any one of them manifests, the GodzillaThreshold has to be passed just for ''a chance'' of victory.
** Outer Gods exist in the Higher Dimensions, worlds that exist above the parallel worlds and timelines that mankind resides in. By extension, the Foreigner class Servants - individuals who have a connection to the Outer Gods, tapping into their powers. That's right, it is one type of Eldritch Abomination drawing on the powers of ''even worse'' ones. It doesn't matter whether a given Foreigner is a vessel for the Outer Gods or managed to survive the experience of refusing them with their sanity intact - with few exceptions, Foreigners are ''Beast-level'' threats. And the Outer Gods themselves? They are every bit as incomprehensible here as they are in their [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos source material]]; while everything in the Nasuverse comes from a metaphysical place called "the Root of Creation" which also records the past, the present, and the future, ''Fate Grand Order'' shows that, during the very end of time, everything returns to nothingness and becomes one with the Root - everything ''except'' the Outer Gods, that is. They don't even originate from Nasuverse's reality: Nyarlathotep compares the presence of the Outer Gods in the Nasuverse is similar to a "vacation".

When [[spoiler: it is released at the end of season 1, two party members look at it, each taking damage to their sanity (one almost dying) and are only barely able to comprehend it as a star-filled void surrounded by teeth.]]
* In ''Podcast/TheHiddenAlmanac'', many of the historical events recorded in the Almanac involve eldritch abominations, often in connection with the weirdness-magnet location of Echo Harbor. There have also been a number plot arcs in which the staff of the Almanac encounter them directly, including the time a cult attempted to summon the demon god Corvus-Wrax in the Almanac Test Garden, and the time the interns were kidnapped by a cult that worshiped a horrible many-mouthed plague god.
* ''Podcast/LessIsMorgue'' has Morby. In addition to being TheAssimilator, he's a kind of nostalgia parasite that gains his power through invading nostalgic media properties and feeding on people's affections for them. When he becomes sufficiently fed, he enters the physical world and begins absorbing everyone in sight. He's been known to make some pretty grandiose speeches, too.
-->'''Morby:''' There is no next episode, Evelyn Hooper. Morby is the first and final episode, and every episode in between. I am the vulture who feasts on time. I am the shadow of the turned page. Your innocence is my ambrosia, your lust for simplicity my bread.
* ''Podcast/TheMagnusArchives'' has ''several.'' Over the course of the series, it becomes clear that virtually all of the statements collected by the titular Magnus Institute are the result of run-ins with these, [[spoiler: which are incarnations of humanity's fears, including The Stranger (fear of things that seem human but aren't) to The Buried (fear of being suffocated or drowned) to The Vast (fear of your insignificance against a grand and featureless landscape, be it sea, sky, or space) to The Corruption (fear of disease and insects).]]. [[spoiler: Not only that, but our protagonist works for one, and is slowly being turned into a HumanoidAbomination as a result of serving it.]]
* The Residue from ''Podcast/PretendingToBePeople'' is an amorphous black goo with some level of alien consciousness. Things that interact with it appear to suffer a FateWorseThanDeath involving time travel.
* ''Podcast/TwilightHistories'' has featured such beings in a couple episodes. The titular being in “The Pale God” is a massive bloated pale serpent that vaugly resembles the feather serpent from Mesoamerican Mythology. While “The Drowned City” features [[spoiler: what is either the Mesopotamian goddess Tiamat, or the creature that inspired her legend]].
* The podcast ''Podcast/WelcomeToNightVale'' features plenty of these:
** Most memorably the Glow Cloud: a giant flashing cloud whose colors change depending on viewer, that rains animal carcasses down on the town and possesses Night Vale citizens. [[spoiler:It eventually becomes Chairman of the School Board]].
** And, of course, there's a couple hints that our narrator, [[CozyVoiceForCatastrophes Cecil]], might be one himself. He's probably friendly, though.
** Cecil's Station Management, who never leave their office until Cecil encourages the listeners to write in to support his continued employment (and possibly continued existence). He comes to regret this when they emerge.
** The subway system, which appeared suddenly and mysteriously. This one is more ambiguous, since the Man in the Tan Jacket, [[CreepyGood who for all his weirdness appears to be a good guy]], advocated for its reopening; perhaps it was supposed to do good things, but malfunctioned.
** Librarians, as hinted in several episodes and detailed in [[Literature/WelcomeToNightVale the novel]], are incredibly dangerous shapeshifting shadow things with acidic white tentacles, that like to haunt the library and kill anyone who goes inside.
** The City Council is distinctly inhuman, and not in the detailed mundane sense like literal five-headed dragon Hiram [=McDaniels=].
%%** Implied with the hooded figures around town.
%%** [[spoiler:The Smiling God.]]
* ''Podcast/OldGodsOfAppalachia'' features many different flavors of this, ranging from BotanicalAbomination to AnimalisticAbomination, but [[BigBad the one(s) in charge of it all,]] Those Who Sleep Beneath, are the strongest example. While it's unknown in universe if they're one big {{Kaiju}} or a HiveMind, it IS known that it's malicious and lurking within the mountains of Appalachia. And given what it's {{Mooks}} can do... it's safe to say this thing is beyond our comprehension.

[[folder:Professional Wrestling]]
* Wrestling/{{WWE}}'s Wrestling/BrayWyatt could be considered one of these, albeit assuming a simplistic human forum manifesting in the WWE Universe. He is a self-proclaimed Eater Of Worlds and has suggested that he is possessing the body of Husky Harris (Windham "Bray Wyatt" Rotunda's name as a member of Wrestling/TheNexus).
* Parodied by Wrestling/LloydCthulowitz from [=InterSpecies=] Wrestling, who was based on [[Literature/TheCallOfCthulhu you-know-who]], was created by the MadScientist [[PunnyName "Dr. Gene Spleissing"]] and has been billed from [[PartsUnknown "Miskatonic University"]]. Oh, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and he's a lawyer]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Roleplay]]
* A dime a dozen in ''Roleplay/DestroyTheGodmodder'':
** [[DemonicDummy Creepy Adrenaline Rush]] (A case of [[AuthorAvatar Author Avatars]] being turned into a dummy) can qualify due to his attack style: He cries blood and pyschically assaults his victims with nightmares.
** The Glitch is physical representation of [[RealityBreakingParadox reality itself breaking down]], usually as a result of the [[CosmicKeystone Hexahedron]] being broken. So horrible that it warped the [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou posts of the players]] if they didn't post in the correct font.
** The Red Dragon [[spoiler:aka Brine]] is also a very good example. [[spoiler: It's an ancient embodiment of Chaos [[TimeAbyss originating from the dawn of time]] that takes the form of a dragon the ''size of a planet.'' It was buried under the Nether's bottom-layer Bedrock, and required an eon-long war against the [[BenevolentPrecursors Endermen]] to seal away. When the Godmodder inevitably freed it as part of [=DTG2's=] finale, it was one of the very few entities that were legitimately invincible, and was also responsible for the [[FinalBoss Incarnate]].]] Also, saying its real name [[InterfaceScrew causes your post to glitch out.]]
** [[spoiler: Godmodder Soul, the direct result of the Godmodder making a DealWithTheDevil with the Red Dragon and subsequently dying in [=DTG2=]. It was safe to say he CameBackWrong. [[BodyHorror At this point a floating torso missing an arm, mostly made of corruption,]] he was also decisively [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity mad from his newfound immortality,]] and was effectively invincible beyond [[BattleAtTheCenterOfTheMind assaults on his very-fragile mind.]]]]
** [[spoiler: The Conflict, an Anti-[[SentientCosmicForce Narrative]] empowering two villainous figures, also counts, on an even more insane scale than the Red Dragon, and was the direct reason why [[ManBehindTheMan The Employer]], [[AIIsACrapshoot Project Binary]], and even [[GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere Binary Prime]] were so ridiculously dangerous. Those three? They're just ''fragments'' of this thing. It was also responsible for a massive cataclysmic war that nearly destroyed existence in the past. Fortunately, it's weaker than the Narrative now, but that's hardly much comfort. Its Agents are all this by extension, which includes the aforementioned Red Dragon.]]
** The Great Powers of Fiction in general, really. The Narrative is still an impossibly massive SentientCosmicForce with (mild) BlueAndOrangeMorality; the Terminae are quite literally physically attuned to and are in-sync with the Source Code of Reality; and the Unfathomable Ones are your standard H.P. Lovecraft fare, up to and including their strongest members being [[SentientCosmicForce sentient cosmic forces]] as well.
** Hell, even the Godmodders themselves can be considered [[HumanoidAbomination humanoid abominations]], due to their nigh-intangibility and their powers having a subtle but destructive effect on reality due to their creation.
* In ''Roleplay/DinoAttackRPG'', [[VideoGame/LEGOUniverse the Maelstrom]] is depicted as a force of utter destruction the likes of which cannot be comprehended by any ordinary person. It cannot be stopped, only delayed.
* ''Roleplay/FireEmblemOnForums'':
** ''Final Hour'': Chaos, the FinalBoss of the game and the BigBad who set the entire game in motion attempting to break out of the Waygate. His arrival on the battlefield includes him killing every single enemy that had been there prior, possessing Mason and proceeding to lay waste to the heroes almost singlehandedly.
** ''[[Roleplay/FireEmblemOnForumsChainsOfHorai Chains of Horai]]'': The God of Curses, a 'foreign god' that the Gods of the Land barely defeat with a HeroicSacrifice on the part of the God of Life and his friends. Unlike the mostly human appearances of the Gods of the Land, the God of Curses looks almost plant-like, pulsing with blood and roots, and clearly inhuman as they are sealed away. It's heavily implied that the Shiryo, demonic monsters that roam the land and eat people, are its progeny.
* Any Glitch Pokemon in ''Roleplay/WeAreAllPokemonTrainers''.
** One (Missingno.) was [[spoiler:a failed prototype of the Mewtwo cloning project, fused with a RealityWarping supercomputer that could have made [[Literature/IHaveNoMouthAndIMustScream AM]] proud]]. Its brother was a Cipher experiment GoneHorriblyRight, which was prone to [[spoiler:kidnapping innocent newborns and converting them into soldiers for its army.]]
** ♀ was a formless mass that emitted a [[BrownNote song]] that caused any being to go near it to be driven into homicidal insanity.
* ''Roleplay/ApotheosisAedificatorisInAbsentia'' has numerous gods that look eldritch, but the Crawling Chaos takes the cake. It has a thousand eyes, millions of claws, and jaws the size of worlds. When an old man summoned it in an accident, his eyes and organs were liquefied.
* ''Roleplay/InfiniteJustice'', being a crossover between Manga/DragonBallZ, Creator/MarvelComics, and Creator/DCComics, has numerous creatures from the canon comics, as well as the Leth'hao, the Voidlords. Creatures the size of continents that eat stars and live in black holes, ''seven'' of them fought a war against [[PhysicalGod The Starkindlers]] that nearly destroyed reality, until [[TheOmnipotent The Source]] banished them to the edge of the universe. WordOfGod says that normal humans that [[YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm try to see their true forms will have their mind destroyed, unless they're the goddamn Batman]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Theatre]]
* The Boyg from ''Theatre/PeerGynt''. "Not dead, not living, slimy, foggy" is the only description given in-play. YouCanNotGraspTheTrueForm, and it is nigh invincible, because it always dodges you. According to the play Peer Gynt gets {{mind rape}}d, and starts to act and think like it, ending up as a quite incoherent and fractured soul at the end of the play. ''Avoiding'' this entity would seem to be a good idea - but as the creature wins through avoiding, you end up playing its game.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Theme Parks]]
* The ''Nemesis'' roller coaster at Ride/AltonTowers amusement park in the UK (being the titular Nemesis).
** Nemesis comes from another dimension, a dimension beyond our imagination. There are theories, and then there is the legend... Beneath the ground at Alton Towers, something strange and horrible lurked: a creature put on the Earth 2 million years ago. The creature was disturbed during maintenance work on one of the other rides in Forbidden Valley. The creature, angry at being discovered, [[NightmareFuel/AltonTowers caused havoc, ripping up trees and buildings, sending them hurtling skyward]]. A security silence fell over Alton Towers as historians, archaeologists, and the Ministry of Defence nervously began some serious investigations. What they discovered was Nemesis. It had to be controlled -- 250 tonnes of steel and 200 men pinned down Nemesis. The steel holding down the monster was twisted and bent into unusual shapes -- the steel was the roller coaster track thrill seekers ride today -- ''Nemesis''. In a promotional comic released to advertise the ride, said creature had its own cult with its own TomeOfEldritchLore.
** ''Nemesis: Sub-terra''. All we know is that it explores beneath the foundations of Nemesis... and many tentacles are in evidence...

[[folder:Toys]]
* ''Toys/{{Bionicle}}''
** Tren Krom exists as a ShoutOut to Lovecraft. However, he actually ''isn't'' an alien or ''other''; he was created by the Great Beings just like everything else in the Matoran world. Despite this, he's got the looks -- tentacles and all -- and causes insanity in those who look upon him. He was also one of the first things to exist in the Matoran world, managing it before Mata Nui, [[spoiler:who contains the entire Matoran world in his ''body'']], was activated. Notable also that in a world of AmbiguousRobots, he's one of the only characters explicitly stated to be 100% organic [[spoiler: meaning that his previous role was that of a WetwareCPU for the robot]].
-->'''Tren Krom:''' You think me an alien... an "other"... But I am of the substance of this universe, and I walked here long before you or even Mata Nui himself.\\
-- Federation of Fear
** [[BigBad Makuta]] was described like this as first - a kicking, screaming, lashing ''thing'' of pure malevolence. As a Makuta he has the ability to shape shift into any form and can create Rahkshi from his own flesh, which are considered as his sons. Then he got [[RetCon retconned]] into a MagnificentBastard [[TheChessmaster Chessmaster]] more akin to [[{{Satan}} The Devil]] than anything Lovecraftian, and Greg Farshtey himself has [[WordOfGod stated]] that he prefers Makuta this way.
** The web serial "The Kingdom" takes place in a parallel universe where, because of [[ForWantOfANail Matoro hesitating at a critical moment]], the Great Spirit Mata Nui died and the majority of the Matoran universe had to be evacuated. In the climax of the story, our Takanuva and a group of heroes from this universe confront Makuta Teridax[[note]]the original Makuta of the story, given a name after it was revealed that "Makuta" was the name of his species[[/note]], who has survived inside the wreckage of the universe for 10,000 years; he is now a proper example of this trope once more. He is described as a horrific 20-foot-tall amalgamation of the other Makuta he assimilated in order to keep himself alive; we don't get much of a description of him beyond that, which is probably for the best.
** Annona, which has been described as a small, star-like thing with tentacles and a room-chilling aura. [[DreamStealer It eats dreams.]]
** The first Rahi were tentacled monstrosities and other madness-inducing sea beasts. Akin to Tren Krom, they are actually naturally occurring in the Matoran world, but they are still unspeakably ancient and strange.
** The Energized Protodermis Entity was through excessive backstory rewrites and extensions turned from a one shot bad guy made of SentientPhlebotinum into this, when it was revealed to have been a mysterious cosmic being that resided in the core of Spherus Magna, and was in fact the engine that set the ''entire'' story into motion [[NoBloodForPhlebotinum through the Core War]]. It can take on many shapes, but its natural form is a silvery liquid.
* There are Cthulhu dolls. [[http://paizo.com/image/product/catalog/IMPTYV/IMPTYVHP004_360.jpeg D'aww. Great, ancient evil.]]
* Toys/{{Figma}}:
** [[LightNovel/NyarukoCrawlingWithLove Nyaruko]], noted that she is Nyarlaphotep.
** [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Kyubey]] [[note]]Incubator[[/note]], you can find him in School Uniform Madoka or Akuma Homura set as accessory.
* Mattel had the ''Inhumanoids'' line were the villains and the non-human good guys were disgusting abominations hidden in our planet. Check out ''WesternAnimation/{{Inhumanoids}}'' and this trope's category Western Animation for more detail about the ''Inhumanoids''.
* ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}''
** Unicron, the [[OmnicidalManiac Great Devourer]], the [[AsLongAsThereIsEvil Chaos Bringer]], the PlanetEater. His total goal is the reduction of all existence in every reality to nothing. He empowers his Heralds, gifting them with fleets of vehicles, vast armies, supernatural powers, and [[ThisIsYourBrainOnEvil powerful insanity]]. Amongst his Heralds:
** [[WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime Megatronus Prime]], one of the [[ThirteenIsUnlucky Original Thirteen]], a warrior of Primus charged with overseeing all Entropy in the multiverse who Unicron corrupted into betraying his brothers. [[Film/TransformersRevengeOfTheFallen Henceforth, his name would forever be "The Fallen".]]
** If Unicron counts, then so does Primus aka ''Cybertron itself''. In some versions of the backstory they are even [[CainAndAbel brothers]]. A rare example of a benevolent Eldritch Abomination.
* [[http://funko.com/products/pop-literature-hp-lovecraft-cthulhu Funko Pop Cthulhu]], it may qualify as AdorableAbomination.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Visual Novels]]
* Many of the Franchise/CthulhuMythos' deities appear in ''VisualNovel/{{Demonbane}}''. Although the Great Old Ones are treated as just powerful monsters, the Outer Gods still play it straight.
** To elaborate, unlike in the mythos, most Outer Gods are sealed in compact universes inside the Shining Trapezohedron. But Azathoth still generates countless universes from inside, making it the center of the multiverse (and the destruction of the Shining Trapezohedron will doom everything, for Azathoth will turn the whole multiverse into an EldritchLocation once it's free). At least two Outer Gods are free, for neither of them can be sealed. One is Yog-Sothoth (being the embodiment of all time and space) and the other is Nyarlathotep (being the will of the Outer Gods, and since the multiverses come from the thoughts of Azathoth, [[spoiler:sealing Nyarlathotep will simply drive it from your universe for a while, then it will re-emerge with another mask in an alternate universe]]. One of the latter's forms, Clockwork Phantom, is an elaborate version of the Tik-Tok Man in the mythos, being a [[MechanicalLifeforms mechanic abomination]] that assimilated whole universes into itself.
** Then there's the [[spoiler:War God Demonbane, the hidden, second form of the titular mecha]]. Its sheer size destroys the universe it appears in, and ''collides with the multiverse''. It can also manipulate and ''weaponize'' universes. However, that is nothing compared to [[spoiler:Elder God Demonbane, the third and final form]], who can create an '''infinite''' amount of the aforementioned universe-destroying, multiverse-colliding abominations.
* Would you believe that ''VisualNovel/HatofulBoyfriend'' has one? The sequel, ''Holiday Star'', has [[spoiler:The King, once an unstable and betrayed button quail named Nanaki Kazuaki, now a monstrous HiveMind that sprouts multicolored extra heads when angry, who kidnaps our heroine and her birdy beaus to his FisherKingdom, and tries to absorb any souls he encounters, living or dead, out of desire for friendship without betrayal.]]
* In [=ClockUp=]'s ''Maggot Baits'', we have the titular Demonic Maggots:
-->Monstrous lumps of meat that infest the city. Maggots featuring human limbs, eyes, and mouths, theirs is an unsettling, viscerally repulsive appearance.\\
Gifted with strong regenerative abilities against physical damage, they secrete a bodily fluid with entrancing aphrodisiac properties.\\
They induce a powerful instinctive feeling of dread in Witches, though the reason is unknown.\\
They hunt human women and Witches for reproductive and predatory purposes.
* ''VisualNovel/MayITakeYourOrder'': Talaiporia is implied to be some sort of pain-consuming god from The Void. Which is a really perfect choice for a Romantic Comedy heroine.
* ''Franchise/{{Nasuverse}}'':
** The Ultimate Ones, [[SentientCosmicForce the sentient will of every world]] (including each planet), and [[PhysicalGod their physical incarnation]], The TYPES, which hit nearly every point of this trope. Although the specifics vary, they are typically [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever enormous]], [[NighInvulnerability unkillable]], [[RealityWarper alter the fundamental nature of reality in their vicinity]] just by ''existing'', and have [[BlueAndOrangeMorality thought processes that are completely incomprehensible]] to us PunyEarthlings. Oh, and the reason the Types came to Earth during ''Literature/AngelNotes'' was [[GaiasVengeance to wipe out humanity as revenge for killing Gaia]].
** Most of the beings included in the [[TheDreaded Dead Apostle Ancestors]] list (a list for the top 27 beings most dangerous to humanity as a whole). Given that most of the beings listed there are vampires (originating from TYPE-Moon), it makes sense. Special mention, however, goes to the ones in top-10 ranks: especially Forest Of Einnashe (Rank-7, a living, dimension-hopping forest who became alive after the corpse of a powerful vampire was disposed of there), ORT (who is actually TYPE-Mercury, ''the'' strongest being in the franchise, but it is listed as a Rank-5 since it [[YouKillItYouBoughtIt annihilated the previous holder for disturbing its sleep]]), TYPE-Moon himself (who is ironically only Rank-3) and Primate Murder (Rank-1, a spiritual wolf created by Gaia, Ultimate One of the Earth, strong enough to annihilate the human race in mere seconds, if it is ever allowed to by his master).
** [[HumanoidAbomination The Servants]]. Souls pulled out from the cycle of death and rebirth, because they're remembered in the Collective Unconscious as "heroes". When resurrected as familiar spirits, they are completely immune to anything that is incapable of harming their spiritual bodies, and can consume human souls to empower themselves. This trope is especially true for the more powerful Servants, who can warp reality with their Noble Phantasms (A Servant's signature, most distinctive weapons or skills). To emphasise their incomprehensible nature, when a human tries to use a severed Servant's arm as a transplanted organ (since his own arm was severed), not only can said human access the memories of the Servant, the memories begin to ''completely destroy his mind''.
** ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' has [[spoiler:Angra Mainyu, residing inside the Grail. In the Third Holy Grail War, the Einzberns tried to game the summoning system to get an extra-class Servant in place of the Berserker slot from the seven main classes, and they got the Avenger class. Unfortunately, [[FromNobodyToNightmare he was nothing more than a normal nameless man]], who was in life [[ColdBloodedTorture horribly tortured by his fellow villagers from birth to death]], "[[CosmicPlaything to be the scapegoat for all the world's evil]]". Upon his defeat though, he ''can'' have his wish granted, since the Grail treats him as a human rather than a spirit. Naturally, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero he wishes for something to take his place]], something to shoulder all the world's evil. [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor He got exactly what he asked for]], a being [[TheHeartless made of every evil mankind ever has, ever will, and ever]] ''[[TheHeartless could]]'' [[TheHeartless commit]]. It consumes Avenger, and both of them are trapped inside the Grail, [[TheCorruption corrupting it]] as [[UltimateEvil Angra Mainyu]]. Immersed within it, Avenger was corrupted and hates all mankind with a passion. If it is ever released from its shell, it would bring forth about 7 billion curses towards the world in the form of a huge, organic tower that spills black mud that corrupts and burns everything in its path.]]
** ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' has the 72 Demons of the Literature/ArsGoetia. They are part of a spiritual HiveMind created by the Lesser Key of Solomon, [[PureMagicBeing a magecraft ritual given will and life]]. Each of them can manifest across any point of history, and when all of them combine their power they can perform the "Ars Almadel Salomonis" which creates ''[[LightEmUp billions of destructive light across all of history]]'' to burn ''all living beings'' and turn them into magical energy for further magical rituals. Further, the kanji used for their name can be either read "Demon Gods" or "Demon Pillars", and fittingly when manifesting physically, a single demon appears as a [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever giant pillar of putrid black flesh]], [[EyesDoNotBelongThere encircled at intervals by glowing red eyes]]. Even without any apparent mouth, they are able to vocalize with a distorted, inhuman ''shriek''. Further, they can [[TheCorruption corrupt]] and [[DemonicPossession possess living beings]] and turn them into a physical avatar of their HiveMind.
** From the same game, there are also [[UltimateEvil the Evils of Humanity]], also known as Beast-class Servants or Beasts of Calamity, threatening to annihilate humanity from existence. Each of them embodies a weakness of human nature (as such, the name of "Evil" is actually a bit misleading), such as Pity[[note]]the sheer arrogance of looking down on others for being different[[/note]], Regression, Desire, Comparison, Regret, Stagnation, etc. Each takes the form of a certain Eldritch Abomination created by either the planet itself or humanity; the aforementioned Goetia demons is in fact part of Beast I, representing Pity, the Demon God King Goetia, and the aforementioned Primate Murder is actually a potential version of Beast IV, representing Comparison. Each Beast has their own unique way of instilling TheCorruption upon all life. Their worst trait, however, is that ''none'' of them naturally has ''a concept of death''. Whenever any one of them manifests, the GodzillaThreshold has to be passed just for ''a chance'' of victory.
** Outer Gods exist in the Higher Dimensions, worlds that exist above the parallel worlds and timelines that mankind resides in. By extension, the Foreigner class Servants - individuals who have a connection to the Outer Gods, tapping into their powers. That's right, it is one type of Eldritch Abomination drawing on the powers of ''even worse'' ones. It doesn't matter whether a given Foreigner is a vessel for the Outer Gods or managed to survive the experience of refusing them with their sanity intact - with few exceptions, Foreigners are ''Beast-level'' threats. And the Outer Gods themselves? They are every bit as incomprehensible here as they are in their [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos source material]]; while everything in the Nasuverse comes from a metaphysical place called "the Root of Creation" which also records the past, the present, and the future, ''Fate Grand Order'' shows that, during the very end of time, everything returns to nothingness and becomes one with the Root - everything ''except'' the Outer Gods, that is. They don't even originate from Nasuverse's reality: Nyarlathotep compares the presence of the Outer Gods in the Nasuverse is similar to a "vacation".
* Though we never see the entire true form, [[spoiler:Saya]] from ''VisualNovel/SayaNoUta'' is implied to be a StarfishAliens / Tentacle Monster-type alien. [[spoiler:She also turns Yoh into one of these as her [[SexSlave pet]].]] [[spoiler:Hell, in the "good" end, the one who ends up killing her ends up traumatized and having nightmares.]]
* Not only is ''VisualNovel/ShikkokuNoSharnoth'' full of these in the form of the <<Metacreatures>>, but [[spoiler:M, the protagonist's cryptic guide, benefactor, and possible love interest, is later revealed to be Nyarlathotep]].
* [[spoiler:The uncle]] from VisualNovel/TheUncleWhoWorksForNintendo, who is implied to be some kind of all-powerful digital being.

[[folder:Web Video]]
* In [[https://youtu.be/zpMre7UTZQI Aurora Borealis]], a music video for a ''Music/LemonDemon'' song, otherwordly creatures are visible from almost the very first second, and serve as a backdrop throughout the whole video, with the two main characters as nearly the only humans seen. [[spoiler: Although, it turns out they're monsters, as well.]]
* ''Webcomic/BoxerHockey'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6GEEi67atc In this cartoon]] Rittz appears to be tormented by one of these. Don't worry, it's funnier than it sounds.
* The Aeon Worm from ''WebAnimation/BravestWarriors'' is a powerful, giant creature from the [[AnotherDimension "see-through zone"]]. It is never shown in full on screen, but [[http://m1.behance.net/rendition/modules/91159573/disp/48fd3f24abfd24873bd7e8af33af02e9.jpg its true appearance]] is very alien.
* ''WebAnimation/{{Dreamscape}}'': Its Keedran's favorite form to take! She looks like a [[CreepyCentipedes Creepy Centipede]] with CreepyLongArms, one of which is a snake and the other that looks like a bear's.
* In [[http://bogleech.com/animations.html The Fear Hole]], [[spoiler:the horrible thing that Antagonizer fights in [[http://scythemantis.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d1ovt1g Episode 7]]. It's never seen, but it's described with terms like "It's like a sewer had an abortion" and "It's like if cancer had leprosy", so you know it's bad.]]
** The thing in [[http://www.bogleech.com/flash/FEARHOLE4.html Episode 4]] who looks like Cthulhu and has the personality of a small, fairly innocent child, but [[spoiler:in the end turns out to be nasty]].
* The ''Webcomic/GarnetAndGure'' animated short, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cl1UKqSoD9g "Monsters are Dwelling"]] introduces us to the mythos of the "Horrible Gods", as described by a surprisingly charming green, eight-armed naked lady who is apparently going door to door to spread the Word of Kar-Goom.
* ''WebVideo/TheKaskadeRegion'', a Franchise/{{Pokemon}} fan-game idea, has just as many otherworldly creatures as the canon series:
** There's the MechanicalAbomination [[spoiler: Ωrogon, Amaze-All's artificial Legendary to replicate the power of Kaskade's creator entity known only as the Great Thunderbird.]] Its robotic avian body looks uncanny enough with elements of Porygon and Rotom spliced in, but when it's empowered with the Relic Key and grows its wings of lightning, it becomes downright terrifying, especially when it starts [[spoiler: mind-controlling the four seasonal Legendaries]].
** Then the post-game has invaders that are Ultra Beasts in all but name:
*** For almost the whole game's plot line, [[spoiler: Orbtholods]] were just uncommon but not-unknown Pokémon that were owned by almost every important or strong trainer in the region, even if their invertebrate bodies did have a bit of a StarfishAlien vibe to it. Then it's revealed that they [[spoiler: are [[MindManipulation mind-controllers]] that are just minions to an otherworldly force, intent on brainwashing the region's populace and using their souls to open the gates to their vanguard]].
*** [[spoiler: The Cataclysm Quartet, Pestilation, Revylon, Leoseace and Lamentu]] are incredibly [[NonStandardCharacterDesign otherworldly]], with too many eyes and too many mouths between them. For some of them, even their tails have jaws!
*** But the one that absolutely takes the cake is their boss, [[spoiler: [[AnimalisticAbomination Endram-Odai]], a nightmarish, [[CelestialBody cosmic-bodied]] SpaceWhale, with ''way'' too many eyes. [[BrownNote Just looking at the thing gives you a head-splitting migraine]], making it incredibly difficult to even remember what your Pokémon are and what they can do (i.e. [[InterfaceScrew glitching out your menu text and sprites]]).]] And then you find out that [[spoiler: it itself is being controlled by a PuppeteerParasite on its face]]!
* Youtuber WebAnimation/LumpyTouch took 5 images of Garfield drawn by William Burke as an eldritch abomination and made a series of horror shorts based them called "Garfield Gameboy'd". While some are out of order, the shorts are still well made and feature 8-bit artwork. Music in the background is from games such as ''VideoGame/ClockTower'' and ''VideoGame/EarthBound1994''. The shorts depict a terrified Jon, hiding from a monstrous Garfield who appears to be hunting and attacking Jon while demanding lasagna. By the end of the final short, Jon has apparently lost one of his arms and his whole house, but Garfield survives and an air-raid siren plays in the background. Animations are added to almost every image including an animation of Jon shooting Garfield in the eye and a scene of Garfield's spider-body walking along the ceiling while Jon hides. Additionally, the animations feature a HUD including "Scent" "HP" and "Detection" to play into the idea that it is a videogame adaptation. You can view the first one [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwR6mWJWuWQ here]].

* ''[[Machinima/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers SMG4]]'' has [[KnightOfCerebus Ztar]], a black star who eats other stars and has a suffocating aura not unlike that of [[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory the Dark Star]]. There's also [[GreaterScopeVillain Zero]], who appears to be a glowing red eye shrouded in darkness with an insanely long blue arm. They are both {{Omnicidal Maniac}}s, the latter of which wants to destroy all universes one by one.
* ''WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation'', as shown in his reviews of ''VideoGame/SimCity'' and ''[[VideoGame/TheSims The Sims 4]]'', tends to paint [[Creator/ElectronicArts EA]] as an evil amorphous black mass of tentacles and goo. [[FunWithAcronyms Rather fittingly, in a wordplay way]].
