Animalistic Abomination: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Berserk]]'' has the Beast of Darkness, a monstrous wolf that is Guts's bloodlust and hatred of Griffith given form. It's one of the swordsman's greatest enemies, and wants nothing more than to make him submit to his darkest desires so it can permanently steal control of his body and freely indulge in its psychopathic bloodlust.

* The Tailed Beasts of ''[[Naruto]]'' fame are dangerous monsters made of primal Chakra, and look like massive and unholy versions of otherwise ordinary animals: the Eight-Tails resembles a skinless ox with octopus tentacles; the Yonbi, or Four-Tails, looks like a monkey; and the Nine-Tails is naturally a demonic-looking fox. Most have been sealed inside of human hosts in hopes of keeping the unruly beasts under control, but this often results in the hosts going insane, or else having control of their bodies ripped away by the beasts possessing them - that is, if they're not [[Humanoid Abomination|warped beyond recognition]] either way. All Tailed Beasts have names given to them by the Rikudo Sennin himself: Shukaku, Son Goku, and Kurama (the Kyubi) are the only ones known. And according to the Hachibi, {{spoiler|[[It Can Think|they are capable of emotion]]}}.

* ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'' has a heavy spoiler example in {{spoiler|the wish-granting entity known as Kyubey, who typically appears in the form of a harmless-looking cutesy feline. Kyubey is an "Incubator", a [[Hive Mind]]ed race who eat their dead and take their predecessor's place and identity; Kyubey is frequently seen eating what looks to be his own corpse. The Incubators have a technology that converts emotions into energy, used in order to counter entropy and prevent the impending heat death of the universe - but the Incubators have a lack of emotion such that having them is considered an abnormality, and instead find their ideal subjects among (pre)pubescent human girls. Despite seemingly lacking emotion and claiming that Incubators have little understanding of mortality or the value of life in their "utilitarian" approach, Kyubey is more than happy to play [[Jackass Genie]] and leave out vital aspects of the contracts Madoka and company agree to until it's too late; while this serves the purpose of cultivating the desired energy by turning the soul gems of magical girls into grief seeds, you wouldn't be blamed for thinking Kyubey's just a bit ''too'' good at it}}.

* In ''[[Pokémon: Jirachi Wishmaker|Pokémon: Jirachi—Wish Maker]]'', the villain Butler attempts to resurrect a Groudon from a fossilized remnant of it using Jirachi's wish-granting powers. When he finally succeeds, the result is a bizarre manifestation of pure evil ''looks'' like Groudon, but pretty clearly ''isn't'' - this Groudon-shaped monster (known as Meta Groudon in Japan) immediately begins absorbing energy from plant life, humans and Pokémon alike using the gelatinous tentacles expelled from its spikes. It takes Butler seeing the error of his ways and [[Enemy Mine|collaborating with Jirachi as well as Ash and his friends]] in order to finally destroy the monstrosity.

* In the ''[[Witch Hat Atelier (manga)|Witch Hat Atelier]]'' manga, the Brimmed Caps possess [[Black Magic]] [[Painful Transformation|transformation spells]] which can turn them into scalewolf-like abominations against their will - while they share the canine appearance and scaly back of ''actual'' scalewolves, these monsters are black-colored beasts with pupil-less eyes. {{spoiler|Euini is subjected to a forceful transformation into one in volume 4, and attacks Coco and Tetia in volume 5.}}
