** Another example from Obsidian, the ''Mask of the Betrayer'' expansion pack for ''{{Neverwinter Nights 2}}'' lets you ''create'' one by stuffing a legion of evil and insane murdered souls into the withered husk of a dead bear god. And then the absolute "Evil-With-A-Capital-E" ending has you become a soul-devouring abomination capable of '''unmaking gods.'''

* Leave it to the designers of ''{{LittleBigPlanet}} 2'' to make an Eldritch Abomination out of a ''vaccum cleaner''! The Negativitron travels the cosmos, constantly sucking up all material in Craftworld. It can also be considered [[spoiler:an EldritchLocation]], too.

* While the six dragons in {{Rift}} are explicitly stated to be mere manifestations of the Elemental Lords, [[MakingASplash Akylios]] takes the cake; his description mentions he was mad BEFORE he started gathering all knowledge, and that he doesn't actually care what all the other dragons do...

* In ''LaMulana'', one of the bosses is a giant eye monster with [[NaughtyTentacles tentacles]] and a massive eye, which is reminiscent of a eldrich abomination. However, the real award goes to [[spoiler:The Mother, who is actually the entire temple itself. It helps with the non-eulicidean geometries of the temple, not to mention the fact that the different areas have no correlation in how they are connected. Oh, and the fact that the Mother came from the sky, and created life (e.g. Us) in hopes that it would find a way to return her there.]]

* {{In Team Fortress 2}}, use of the {{Gary's Mod}} had created multiple popular freaks recently. Dubbed in (no particular order) Painis Cupcake, Snyphurr, Sewer Medic, Anuspy, Dic Soupcan/See man, and the Odd Scout. Painis Cupcake twists his body in ways that will instantly kill or disable a normal individual, and is a morbid cannibal. Snyphurr is a giant torso with a concealed, bloody head. He turns people into stone. There is simply not enough information on Anuspy. Sewer Medic will use similar methods to Painis Cupcake and Dic Soupcan to get rid of threats. Dic Soupcan floats, mumbles irritatingly, and has multiple Gran-Mal seizures, will regurgitate explosives if agitated. Another version of the Demo Man, See Man, distracts enemies with an infamous "See". Hear him say this? You are screwed beyond any reasonable doubt. Just look at all the grenades that spawned around you. (Yes, yes, this is a lesser-traditional Eldritch.) The Odd Scout converts other Scouts into its own distorted likeness and can make YourHeadAsplode through eye contact.

** Unown: A pokemon based on letters!
** Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza. Indeed, there's a whole plot of cultists trying to awaken Kyogre and Groudon.

He's also hinted to have played a major role in the corruption of Neltharion. While he hasn't appeared ingame yet, it seems likely he'll be a boss before the expansion's end.

* Pyron from ''Darkstalkers'' is an ageless energy being who exists solely to [[PlanetEater drain planets like a vampire]]. ''Hideously'' powerful, he spared Earth millions of years ago solely because he wanted to wait until it got tastier. His preferred form is a flaming humanoid, though he demonstrates complete control over his form. The scary part? Pyron isn't a standalone monstrosity. He's just another member of his race. That's right, there's an ''entire planet'' of these things. He does get his ass kicked by the other Darkstalkers, many of whom could qualify for this trope in their own right.
