Line 26:
If an [[Eldritch Abomination]] exists in a story where the primary antagonist is of a more human scale, it's probably the [[Bigger Bad]]. See [[God of Evil]], [[Demon Lords and Archdevils]], [[The Legions of Hell]], and [[The Fair Folk]] for supernatural horrors that are knowingly malevolent, rather than simply alien and amoral. See [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]], when one of these abominations has their ass handed to them.
When their appearance is [[Uncanny Valley|uncomfortably human-like]], see [[Humanoid Abomination]] (or, perhaps, [[The Fair Folk]]), but never expect them to be any nicer, though. Should they seem more like machines, see [[Mechanical Abomination]]. When humans are regarded as ''this'' by non-humans, this is a case of [[Humans Are Cthulhu]]. If they resemble an animal, it's an [[Animalistic Abomination]].
[[Our Monsters Are Weird]], [[Eldritch Location]] and [[Divide by Zero]] often overlap with this, thanks to their nature. See also [[Surreal Horror]].
