Eldritch Abomination/Video Games: Difference between revisions

** Lavos is also explicitly stated to be just one member of an entire species. Multiple times in the end game, you fight "Lavos Spawn", Lavos' children, with the clear implication that they're how Lavos began its own life. {{spoiler|Fortunately, it only gained its alternate reality reincarnation power by absorbing Schala, so at least the spawn can't do that. But that's small comfort against the fact that there could be ''billions'' of Lavos's species eating planets all over the universe.}}

** Even better, Lavos is summonable through occult ritual, and is itself a source of magical power. {{spoiler|Originally, man used the sun as a source of magical power, but the sages of the great magical kingdom of antiquity tapped into Lavos and apparently he beat the hell out of the sun's magic, managing to power an entire floating continent of mages even before they managed to directly tap into its power. Mind, the main characters end up using sun-granted magic to defeat him, so there.}}

* The Primagen in ''[[Turok (series)|Turok]] 2'', who threatens to [[Sealed Evil in a Can|break out of his prison]] and [[Earthshattering Kaboom|unravel the fabric of the universe]]. There's also Oblivion, another Abomination who is the [[Big Bad]] of the third game.

* The Androsynth disappeared before the beginning of ''[[Star Control]] II'', and their region of space is now occupied by the Orz. Trying to put together an accurate assessment of what happened on their homeworld results in the scientist who read about the Androsynth's IDF research going insane and being attacked by invisible creatures. It's not exactly clear ''what'' went down, but the Arilou put it best: "You do not wish to be seen. The Androsynth were seen. There are no more Androsynth anymore. Only Orz." This is an especially subtle example, because, early on, the Orz seem comical, with their round, bird-beaked bodies, their nearly-untranslatable speech, and their silly voices.
