* Parodied in ''[[Adventurers!]]''—possibly even a direct parody of [[Final Fantasy IX|Necron]]—when, after finally defeating the distinctly non-Space-Flea [[Final Boss]] and fleeing his collapsing lair, the party is suddenly faced with [https://web.archive.org/web/20100627092000/http://www.adventurers-comic.com/d/20060103.html Necrevil], "the embodiment of evil ''itself''!"... and they just keep running.
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20100121123138/http://www.adventurers-comic.com/d/0170.html Eternion on his first appearance] is also an abrupt [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere]], but he becomes a recurring villain and arguably has more of an impact on the plot than the [[Big Bad]] himself.
** While he's decidedly more human than most examples of this trope, [https://web.archive.org/web/20090106114642/http://www.adventurers-comic.com/d/0295.html this guy] still qualifies by dint of location.
* Morthol Dryax in ''[[Problem Sleuth]]'', who [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=4&p=000916 pops up], is soundly defeated 22 pages later, and isn't mentioned anywhere else. [[Eldritch Abomination|Fluthlu]] counts as one too, and [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=4&p=000950 appears shortly after beating Morthol Dryax.] It's also never mentioned again in the series, apart from a [[Mythology Gag]] or two in ''[[Homestuck]]''.
* ''[[Homestuck]]'' kind of plays with this trope. The [[Anachronic Order|nonlinear]] nature of the story means that for the reader it doesn't come out of nowhere, but from the perspective of most of the trolls {{spoiler|Bec Noir was this, suddenly appearing shortly after they defeated their [[Final Boss]].}}
