Line 188:
* The Eddorians of the [[Lensman]] series. They came from another universe (bringing their planet along with them), they have third-stage minds and so can lethally [[Mind Rape]] any lesser mind, and the concept of their very existence was so disturbing that it had to be kept secret from both [[The Federation|Civilization]] and Boskone, even though the Eddorians were the founders and ultimate rulers of Boskone.
* The Old Ones in the Monster Hunter series by Larry Correia (Monster Hunter International, Monster Hunter Vendetta) are classic Eldritch Abominations.
* ''[[A Certain Magical Index]]'':
** The Cthulhu Mythos is a system of magic in the setting. One side story has the main villains being magicians who use this magic. Cthulhu himself (technically, a lesser copy) is summoned at one point.
** Sample Shoggoth is a strange amorphous parasite found in Antarctica. It enters a human's body, consumes their body fat and replaces it. Since it takes over the normal functions of fat, it can't be removed without killing the host. It has a powerful [[Healing Factor]], capable of regenerating from having portions of its body erased from existence. {{spoiler|It turns out to have been created by humans, however.}}
** The "Invisible Thing" is a mysterious and extremely powerful entity. It has appeared as either a white dragon or a transparent mass (though these could be separate entities), the latter being the source of its nickname. It is capable of frightening a person who had temporarily become more powerful than God. {{spoiler|It's also sealed inside the main character Touma, seemingly by his [[Anti-Magic|power]].}}
