Eldritch Abomination/Western Animation: Difference between revisions

* ''[[South Park (Animation)|South Park]]'' has the Wall-Mart store chain, which exists [[As Long Asas There Is Evil|As Long As There Is Consumerism]], and the Dawson's Creek Trapper Keeper.

* Played for comedy with Slamwitch from episode "F.O.O.D.F.I.T.E." of ''[[Codename Kids Next Door|Codename: Kids Next Door]]''.

* [[Retcon|Retcons]]s and updates to the ''[[Transformers]]'' backstory turned the [[Planet Eater|planet-eating]] Unicron into an [[Eldritch Abomination]], not only giving him the power to move between dimensions and universes, but also insinuating that a piece of his dark soul inhabits all of the Transformers since the beginning, meaning that any one of them could turn into a servant to his apocalyptic hunger. Just listen to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNtYjTLcmDQ his theme song].

** It was also revealed that he does ''not'' [[Planet Eater|eat planets]] for sustenance - he gets ''that'' from [[As Long Asas There Is Evil|hatred and strife]]. No, heand eatsconsumes planets becausein he'san offended by existence. All of it. So he's tryingeffort to eat it. All of it. Every dimension. He's already devoured approximately 20% ofdevour all known existence in the [[Multiverse]], andwith is20% eagerof toit continueeaten his bingealready. He even apparently [[Apocalypse How|once destroyed reality itself]], and the only reason that anything exists at all is because he missed a couple of fragments and fell asleep, allowing them to rebuild.

*** Dark Energon isn't the only version of Unicron's bloody that did horrifying things; Angolmois is liquid chaos, causing completely random and often puzzling effects. In the comics, it made one into a Herald without them even realizing it, mutating them into monsters that frothed green and granting extreme amounts of power.

* In a two part ''[[Justice League]]'' episode "The Terror Beyond", [[Superman (Comic Book)|Superman]] and Co. go fight <s>Cthulhu</s> [[Lawyer-Friendly Cameo|Ichthultu]]. A giant alien monstrosity not bound by time or space going up against a group of superheroes in a work that sits firmly on the Idealistic side of the [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]]? The [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|beatdown]] was the source of much [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|awesomeness]].

* One of these bought the galaxy in an eBay auction during a ''[[Futurama (Animation)|Futurama]]'' episode: "SOLD! To the being of unspeakable horror!".

* ''The [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003 (Animation)|Teenage2003 Mutant''TMNT'' Ninja Turtlescartoon]]'' (2003) featured one of these in the episode "The Darkness Within", who arrived centuries ago in the form of a meteor and sucks the life energy of its victims as they visualize their worst nightmares. However, its most heinous feat may have been its subconscious influence on the greedy, which caused them to gravitate to Manhattan, and was therefore indirectly responsible for the existence of Wall Street.

* The prime antagonist of ''[[Shadow Raiders]]'' is the Beast Planet, a [[Planet Eater]] [[Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale|the size of a starNeptune]] that [[Implacable Man|never stops, tires or negotiates]], [[We Have Reserves|produces an unlimited supply]] of scary-looking [[Mooks]] and '''is completely [[Nigh Invulnerable]]'''. They only defeat it by {{spoiler|teleporting it away, and it then just starts eating other planets, and may well have absorbed the teleporter technology...}}

** The Santa suit from ''[[Invader Zim (Animation)|Invader Zim]]'' is a colossal, indestructible, self-aware mechanical beast that, millions of years in the future, waits in space to gather energy until it is strong enough to return every year on Christmas to eat. The only cities (or maybe the only city) to survive do so under a powerful energy shield. Fortunately, it's appetite can be sated with milk and cookies.

* ''[[Superman the Animated Series]]''* had as a one-time threat a [[Hive Mind]] alien -blob thing that called itself "Unity" as a [[Monster of the Week]]. Using a creepy preacher as its primary avatar, it turned {{spoiler|Smallville}} into a [[Town Withwith a Dark Secret]] that nearly absorbed all the townsfolk into itself.

** The episode featuring Dr. Fate includes a Cthulhu-esque villain that tries to take over the world and turnsturn all of Superman's friends into misshapen elder things.

* ''[[Samurai Jack]]'' has [[Big Bad|Aku]]. At first, he seems like little more than an [[Evil Overlord]] with [[Voluntary Shapeshifting|shapeshifting]] and [[Reality Warper|limited reality warping]] powers, but the episode "The Birth of Evil," whichreveals explains his existence, makes him out to be much more of an abomination.that Hehe was a part of a [[Eldritch Abomination|planet-sized formless evil]] that was split from the rest of the evil when the gods fought and destroyed the giant evil. The split portion of the giant evilthen fell to earth (and [[Phlebotinum Killed the Dinosaurs|caused the extinction of the dinosaurs]]), where it became a giant pit of bubbling black liquid that grew and spread (or perhaps moved) across the Earth, seemingly with the intent to [[Omnicidal Maniac|kill as many things as possible]]. In an attempt to destroy it with a magic arrow, [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|Jack's father gave the evil sentience and a more specific and much more powerful form]].

* ''[[Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!]]'' has several of them, like a flying multiple-eyed thing that turned anybody who looked at it into bloodthirsty zombie among many otherszombies. And Skeleton King's {{spoiler|master}} was a fricking big earthworm-like thing that was much larger than anything else our heroes ever meet. And- It wasand only a part of its original body, God knows how big.

** Also, an episode late in the final season has a flying minotaur-like thing with the ability to open a portal to a ''dimension'' filled with fellow Abominations. And during the finale, the team actually travels to that dimension in pursuit of [[The Dragon|Mandarin]], [[Dark Magical Girl|Valeena]] and {{spoiler|[[Face Heel Turn|Evil!Sparx]]}}, thus exposing the audience to even more Nightmare Fuel.

* In its planning stages, ''[[The Emperor's New Groove (Disney)|The Emperors New Groove]]'' originally involved [[Vain Sorceress]] Yzma summonsummoning a force of darkness called Supai, to [[The Night That Never Ends|blot out the sun and plunge the entire world into eternal night]].

* ''[[Inhumanoids (Animation)|Inhumanoids]]'', whoseuses entirethis premisetrope wasas thisits tropemain premise.

* The Darkness from the ''[[The Fairly OddparentsOddParents]]'' "Wishology" special, until {{spoiler|it's revealed to be a harmless [[Misunderstood Loner Withwith a Heart of Gold]]}}.

* In the ''[[Dungeons and Dragons (Animationanimation)|Dungeons and Dragons]]'' episode "The Dungeon at the Heart of Dawn", we meet Venger's boss, and Dungeon Master warns that before he attacks, he will reveal his face, and that [[Mind Rape|the children should not look upon it.]]

* The [[Monster of the Week]] in ''[[Regular Show (Animation)|Regular Show]]'' tends to be thatone kindform of thingabomination or another - sometimes it's a reflection of whatever mundane task Mordecai and Rigby were attempting, but equally often it's just totally bizarre.

* The Ancient Ones from ''[[Hot Wheels Battle Force 5]]'', beings heavily implied to be the [[Big Bad|Big Bads]]s of season 3, are shaping up to be this. They're an ancient evil that predates the Sentients (who ''created the multiverse''), whose mere awakening begins to spread darkness throughout the multiverse. Rawkus, a being whose purpose for existing is to maintain [[Balance Between Good and Evil]], considers them evil enough to be firmly on the side of the Battle Force 5 against them. What we've seen of theirTheir appearance, shadowy figures during Rawkus' monologmonologue about them, is even more disconcerting, as they seem little more than shadowy figures.

* ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' has* [[Meaningful Name|Discord]], the [[Mix-and-Match Critters|mismatched]] spirit of chaos and disharmony. Possessing [[Reality Warper]] powers so formidable he would be unstoppable if it weren't for [[MacGuffin|the Elements of Harmony]] (not even [[Physical God|Celestia and Luna]] could defeat him without them), within hours he plunges Equestria into a [[World Gone Mad]] ''and'' a [[World of Chaos]], seeking nothing more than [[For the Evulz|his own amusement]] and [[Break the Cutie|thoroughly breaking ponies]].

** The Windigos, shown in [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 /E13 HearthsHearth's Warming Eve|"Hearth's Warming Eve"]]. Spirit horses that feed on hatred to bring eternal winter, they're even based an awful lot off the version of the Wendigo from the [[Cthulhu Mythos]], who was an Eldritch Abomination as well.

* ''[[wikipedia:The Trap Door|The Trap Door]]'' is full of these things (including the main character's employer), some of them really quite nightmarish - including the main character's employer. [[What Do You Mean It's for Kids?|It's an 80's british claymation kids' show.]]
