* [[H.P. Lovecraft]]'s [[Eldritch Abomination]]s. With so much emphasis on their "[[Naughty Tentacles|tentacles]]," their [[Mind Rape]] [[Go Mad Fromfrom the Revelation|powers]] and their just plain "[[Squick|abominableness]]", compared to our own "insignificance".
** Bonus points for Lovecraft being inspired by chronic night terrors, in other words, what you see in his prose is straight out of the very abysses of the Subconscious Mind. Freud would be highly amused to psychoanalyze ol' H.P.
** Also, his embarrassingly coincidental [[Meaningful Name]].
