* ''Videogame/DevilMayCry5:'' the Qliphoth is a massive, very tall demonic tree that sustains itself in both human and demonic blood through its roots. Once in thousand years, the tree can bear a fruit; any demon who eat it would gain enough power to rule the demon world. The BigBad, Urizen, attempts to grow this tree through Red Grave City, causing it to kill many people, and he partially merges himself with it to sustain himself with the tree's power, waiting for it to bear its fruit.

* The Thorian from ''VideoGame/MassEffect1'' is a massive plant that fills many StarfishAliens and EldritchAbomination criteria. It's [[TimeAbyss incredibly old]], it looks like Cthulhu, and it can MindControl people, which requires unbelievable mental strength to resist. Oh and there's also the [[AGodAmI God-complex]]. It's fairly benevolent though, by EldritchAbomination standards. It protects its slaves like a craftsman [[PragmaticVillainy protects his tools]] and when it doesn't have need of them they're free to pantomime a normal existence.

* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'': Draenor was originally dominated by sporemounds, immense plant elementals which would consume anything not part of themselves. They eventually grew so powerful that they actually fused ''all'' plantlife on Draenor into one hivemind, the Evergrowth. The Evergrowth was stopped due to the intervention of the Titan Aggramar and was later destroyed by the Apexis, but it left behind the Botani and Primals. They seek to either consume all non-plant life or convert it into slaves via spore infestation. The Zangar Sea is another product of the sporemounds, being an entire fungal biome born from the corpse of the sporemound Zangar which actively seeks to infest the land.

They are said to possess "unfathomable" knowledge from the earliest eras of creation, a form of omniscience and foresight into future events, and are able to mentally influence and physically alter beings who drink their sap. They are believed to be [[BlueAndOrangeMorality utterly alien and utterly incomprehensible]], even for those who have achieved [[AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence CHIM]] (essentially, a state of awake lucid dreaming that can alter reality along with a full understanding of the workings of the universe), something which can't even be said about the likes of the Daedric Princes.
