Line 271:
* Golden Freddy from the ''Five Nights at Freddy's'' games seems to be one of these. Unlike the other animatronics, he teleports right into your office if you look at a certain poster, and the only way to get rid of him is to pull your camera back up, basically un-summoning him. Looking at him will cause a bunch of hallucinations and will crash your game. In the second game, he's flat-out shown disappearing from view, and kills you by having his head charge at you separate from his body. Whatever he is, he is ''not normal''.
** Shadow Freddy and Shadow Bonnie from the second game seem to be of a similar vein, as looking at them for too long crashes the game, and in Shadow Bonnie's case, he flat-out disappears from view like Golden Freddy does. While Golden Freddy at least has some sort of explanation behind his existence {{spoiler|he was used in the murder of five children, though it doesn't explain his odd behavior}}, there is ''nothing'' to give context for these two.
* The ''[[Epic Battle Fantasy]]'' series has a twist on eldritch horrors with intentionally glitched creatures with scrambled sprites simply known as "glitches" in the 4th and 5th games. In spite of very weak stats, they can absorb [[Non-Elemental]] damage (something normally impossible) of either physical or magic type depending on the glitch and their attack [[One-Hit Kill|instantly kills a character]]. The party's encounter with a small group of glitches in the 4th game makes them question the nature of their universe (Lance in particular, being the tech specialist), and an encounter with an even more powerful and self-aware glitch in the 5th game that toys with them, [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|essentially using them as vessels to taunt the player]] and messing with the game's interface by replacing every icon with random piles of pixels, and is likely [[Not Quite Dead]] when defeated, leaves them all traumatized for life.
