10	{{Eldritch Abomination}}s in ''Franchise/FinalFantasy''.
11	----
12	* The creature [[http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Omega_%28enemy%29 Omega]] is a reoccurring super-boss in many ''Final Fantasy'' games. Originally it was just a powerful machine that, according to ''Final Fantasy'' lore, would just randomly attack things that got near it. More recent games and story expand on Omega's back-story and imply that the different versions of Omega in other ''Final Fantasy'' games? They are in fact the same thing, and Omega really exists across multiple universes with [[AFormYouAreComfortableWith a shape that conforms]] to the laws and rules of said universe. Also, one story states that Omega is supposed to kill a powerful foe whom most assume to be Shinryu, a powerful god-dragon that also exists across multiple universes. One of the game quotes for this this thing is: "From the sky it comes, heartless and bloodless—Omega, Bringer of the End! Unleash your might in the name of destruction... and may all men know despair!"
13	* The Cloud of Darkness, the FinalBoss of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIII'' looks like a tower-sized, green, naked woman with tentacles, but it is in fact the AnthropomorphicPersonification of Primeval Darkness, transcending time and space and threatening to engulf everything, under AFormYouAreComfortableWith. Later games scale it/her down as a HumanoidAbomination though.
14	* Zeromus, the final boss of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'', is a spirit of hatred created by [[spoiler: the true [[BigBad Big Bad]] of the game, Zemus, when he is killed by [=FuSoYa=] and Golbez]]. He literally exists to consume all life, and first appears as a spirit that can't be harmed, but once the Crystal is used on him, he transforms into a being that would make H.R. Giger proud.
15	* Exdeath in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV''. He just plain is the part normally and really looks it [[spoiler: in his ultimate Tree form at the final battle and as Neo Exdeath.]] He was born from an aggregate of evil souls sealed into a sacred tree, and later becomes an embodiment of The Void.
16	** In the cave leading to the Fire Tablet (found under the ocean, naturally!), there are a number of creatures that are piles of...organs, skulls, and vile expectoration. They are simply called "Unknown", with no distinction between the different versions.
17	* Jenova of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' is an {{Expy}} of the creature from ''Film/TheThing1982'' and conceptual sibling to [[VideoGame/ChronoTrigger Lavos]]. Jenova has no set form, and mimics the appearance of its prey; in this case, the vague outline of a woman, with missing limbs and [[EyesDoNotBelongThere eyeballs in place of nipples]]. Its descent marked the downfall of the [[{{Precursors}} Cetra civilization]]. By extension, Sephiroth - the fruit of a project to create Jenova-infused superbabies - is [[HalfHumanHybrid half-human]], half-Eldritch Abomination.
18	** The [=WEAPONs=] are Antieldritch Unabominations. [[AllThereInTheManual In the backstory of the game]], these creatures are the [[GaiasVengeance all-natural guardians of the Planet]][=/=]TheLifestream (your mileage may vary if the Lifestream can count as an eldritch entity). Unfortunately, humanity has [[HumansAreBastards proven itself dangerous]] to the Planet, so they went aggro on human cities.
19	** The "Unknown" return in the crash of the Gelnika as bizarre, sometimes-flying, obscenely powerful creatures.
20	* Xagor of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyLegendIII'', which resemble nothing more than a mass of flailing tentacles and fanged mouths.
21	* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'', BigBad Ultimecia becomes this under her OneWingedAngel form. A building-sized, multi-coloured, symetrical, mishapen, grotesque... thing, with a black void with a flickering light for a face and a starry night inside of her "gown", [[SpaceTimeEater who unravels and absorbs the whole space-time continuum just by being there]].
22	* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX'', there is a superboss called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HM7kgvbr2E Ozma]]. It may have once been an Eidolon, but now it's just an incredibly powerful swirling sphere of something.
23	* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'', Sin is a giant monster the size of a city that emerges from the depths of the ocean to completely annihilate all settlements larger than small villages at random intervals and terrorized Spira for a thousand years. Even if it is defeated by a High Summoner, [[spoiler:by sacrificing themselves and their friends]], it returns a few years later [[spoiler:by reincarnating from the body of the High Summoner's closest friend]] to continue its rampage. Sin leaves swarms of smaller monsters in its path and everyone who survives coming into contact with its toxins (fortunately) suffers from massive memory loss. And apparently, it can wipe out entire armies by causing distortions of space.
24	* The Fal'Cie from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'' are bizarre mechanical-looking monstrosities with some sort of alien intelligence.
25	* In [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII2 the sequel]] there's Gogmagog, an abomination that the above mentioned Fal'Cie had to throw out of the time-space continuum to be rid of.
26	* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'' has its fair share of bizarre creatures, including:
27	** Voidsents, creatures from the Void [[spoiler:(in truth, one of the destroyed reflections of Hydaelyn in the Multiverse)]] whose exposure to the thick darkness and lack of ambient aether mutates them into monsters.
28	** Sin eaters, monsters from The First who are the opposite of voidsents: overexposure to light-based aether is what facilitates their mutations.
29	** Introduced late in ''Shadowbringers'', [[spoiler:the "Terminus" monsters, [[TheHeartless creatures born from the fear and anxiety of the ancient Ascians]] manifested through creation magicks that they lost control over. The selfsame creatures return to the Source in ''Endwalker'' as a result of Zodiark's destruction upsetting the balance of the world. The difference with these monsters, dubbed "Blasphemies", is that instead of being born from creation magicks that are long lost, the people of the Source mutate into them. In both cases, their creation is tied to a mysterious form of energy called "Dynamis".]]
30	* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTacticsA2'' has [[spoiler:the Neukhia, whose presence is so dangerously poweful, even having a LIMB in Ivalice presents an apocalyptic threat]]
31	* ''Chaotic Darkness'' of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyBraveExvius'': a Vision of the darkness and evil hidden in the hearts of the people living in Lapis; its first appearance is a skeletal... thing, and its second looks like an amalgamation of various enemies you would have met in your travels. And summoned to prove that the world is evil and deserves to be destroyed....
