* On the lower end of the abomination scale are the dinosaurs from ''Franchise/JurassicPark'': because ScienceMarchesOn, what were once reasonably accurate approximations of authentic dinosaurs resemble the fossil animals less and less. The hiatus between ''Jurassic Park ///'' and ''Jurassic World'' was so big that real-world paleontology had advanced far enough that the artistic liberties couldn't be ignored anymore and, to their credit, the franchise now acknowledges that [=InGen=] and Masrani's dinosaurs aren't "really" dinosaurs, mostly in viral marketing but ''Jurassic World'' has a standout scene where Henry Wu incredulously says to Simon Masrani that ''nothing'' in Jurassic World is natural and if they'd really gone for authentic dinosaurs then they would look very different. Alan Grant outright says in ''Jurassic Park ///'' that "what John Hammond and [=InGen=] did was create genetically-engineered theme park monsters, nothing more and nothing less." It becomes more pronounced starting in ''Jurassic World'' with the introduction of deliberate hybrid dinosaurs to the franchise, namely the ''Indominus rex'', a wholly-modern creation deliberately made to be huge, frightening, and awe-inspiring, the end result being a superpredator with what amounts to game-breaking abilities, basically human-level intelligence, and a sadistic streak a mile wide. It gets even worse in ''Fallen Kingdom'' with the ''Indoraptor'', which has more than a few similarities to [[Franchise/{{Alien}} a xenomorph]].

* The Gene Pools in ''TabletopGame/{{Splicers}}''. They start out as tentacled Starfish/Octopus things that are implanted in the abdomen of a volunteer to mature. This person is called a ''Saint'', who serves the Resistance as a healer. When the Gene-Pool matures fifty to seventy years later, it leaves the Saint(killing them, a price the Saint knew about when they signed up), creates a pit in the ground, and merges with yet another volunteer, who will be known as an ''Engineer''. This time the Pool extends its tentacles up the volunteer's legs, and comes out the back like a grotesque set of alien wings. This roots the Engineer to one spot for the rest of their lives, the machinery by which the Resistance creates their Host Armors, Gore Hounds, War Mounts, and other bio-weapons. Some Gene-Pools are mutants known as Brain Pools. When a Brain pool matures, it flips over, turning into a huge slime-covered mound of Brain-flesh. The tentacles of this creature don't merely merge with a volunteer, they rip them apart, leaving a horrific collection of limbs and organs (and the volunteer's head) attached to the tentacles. This is a ''Librarian'', who acts as a living computer who stores information and develops new Biotechnologies. they are literally the brains of the resistance, but occasionally suffer bouts of megalomania.

* ''TabletopGame/WarhammerFantasy'': [[RatMen The Skaven]], especially [[EvilutionaryBiologist Clan Moulder]], uses many rat-like abomination like Rat Ogres into their roster, but their Hell Pit Abomination takes the cake. It's an amalgamation of warpstones, cogs, pale skills, dragons, and still-living Skavens, stitched together and constantly rousing in pain. Though rarely seen, it is extremely destructive.

* ''VideoGame/DarkEscape4D'' has giant insect monsters with human upper bodies on their backs, quadropedal creatures with a mouth that extends out from their "heads", and the bosses are something else.
* ''VideoGame/DragonBallFighterZ'': Android 21 is Cell turned UpToEleven. She?s an even bigger amalgamation of several powerful beings and scientists, including Cell himself. This gives her the potential to be far more powerful than Cell could ever be, access to an even bigger arsenal of tricks, and high intellect to match. However, due to her being partially made from cells originating from Majin Buu, Android 21 is in a near-constant state of hunger that she tries so hard to suppress. This makes her a threat not only to Earth, but the entire universe unless she is stopped in some way.

The antidote he makes for [=THAT=] is a combination of several different animals that turns everyone on the planet (minus Morty's family) into a wide variety of horrifying genetic monstrosities that Rick calls "Cronenburgs".
* ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated'': The Skull Cattle, bovine-like super predators created by Professor Pericles from the DNA of cows, bees, and piranhas that can survive in almost any environment and devour everything in their path. When the gang release them into the ocean [[DidntThinkThisThrough without thinking of the consequences]], they all decide to just look the other way.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Spliced}}'': The premise of the series is an island populated by mutant organisms created from various organic and inorganic objects by a doctor who was eventually arrested. Just how much of this trope varies depending on the character, from AdorableAbomination-level ones like Fuzzy Snuggums to more eldritch-looking ones like the radioactive dinosaur-spider.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Squidbillies}}'' episode "Wing Nut", [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Dan Halen]] used genetic engineering to try and create the perfect chicken to serve in his restaurant "Ain't Nothin But A Wing" by combining chicken [=DNA=] and squid [=DNA=].

These creatures are monsters brought to life by combining the [=DNA=] of several different animals together, and the best way to describe them would be some eldritch horror out of Creator/HPLovecraft's nightmares.[[note]]Which would be appropriate, since his nightmares were his inspiration for the Franchise/CthulhuMythos.[[/note]] They probably have [[LampreyMouth Lamprey Mouths]] because actual lamprey [=DNA=] was used in their creation, and/or all those compound eyes are because of bug [=DNA=]. Their growth process probably caused mutations in ways even their creators couldn't have expected. Either way, when they're born, the end result will be some indescribable inhuman eldritch monstrosity that, while it may not cause you to go insane just from being near it, [=WILL=] probably make your pants [[BringMyBrownPants suddenly feel warm and wet]].
This could be a SubTrope of GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke, seeing as it was bio-engineering that created these horrors. Likely to overlap with BioweaponBeast if they were created for combat purposes.

[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
* ''Manga/DragonBall'': Cell, a bio-engineered life-form created by Dr. Gero from the DNA of the strongest fighters on Earth, including Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, and Frieza. He is capable of [[PowerCopying using all of their signature attacks]] as well as possessing all of their most advantageous natural traits (the Saiyans? ability to grow stronger through combat, Namekian regeneration, and Frieza?s ability to survive in almost any environment and any fatal injuries, including self-destruction). Cell also possesses a long tail with a syringe-like apparatus that he uses to inject victims with and literally drink them whole to gain even more power, doing so to thousands of humans. He runs rampant for days terrorizing humanity before being defeated by Super Saiyan 2 Gohan.
* ''Manga/HunterXHunter'': While not born in a lab, Chimera Ants are made from the DNA of whatever the Queen eats, resulting in hideous amalgamations of animals. Ants made from humans gain their intelligence and the ability to use Nen. The Royal Guards and the Chimera Ant King have the biggest, most eldritch auras capable of driving other Nen users to madness if they get close enough, as was the case with Knov who was not only driven to near-insanity, but ended up losing all his hair from the stress the Royal Guards? aura put on him.

* The {{Kaiju}} of the ''Film/PacificRim'' [[Film/PacificRimUprising series]] are manufactured giant monstrosities created for the purpose of wiping out humanity so their creators can move in. Their appearances include [[MultiArmedAndDangerous more than two arms]], giant blade-shaped horns on their heads, NestedMouths, and in one case, [[EyesDoNotBelongThere the eyes were located [=UNDER=] the mouth on their head]].
