Humanoid Abomination: Difference between revisions

** The Odd Scout is distorted past even [[The Slender Man Mythos|Slender Man]] proportions, converts other Scouts into its own distorted likeness, and can make [[Your Head Asplode]] through eye contact.

** The Vagineer is the original, and probably the worst, speaking only [[Black Speech|backwards]] and with powers ranging from using body parts of others to repair itself to corrupting others by its mere presence.

 

== [[Films]] ==

* The Tall Man from the ''[[Phantasm (Film)|Phantasm]]'' movies can quite easily pass for a (admittedly somewhat creepy) human - he's anything but.{{context}}

* The Harvesters in ''[[The Deaths of Ian Stone]]'' are an odd case. They're [[Physical God|essentially the gods of their setting]], and it's stated they made [[The Multiverse]] just to farm humans for their [[Emotion Eater|tasty, tasty fear]]. Their power over their surroundings is difficult to overstate, and their natures seem incomprehensible to humans—but their ''motivations'' are [[Horror Hunger|instantly recognizable to any junkie]], and they can be as petty and flawed as any human. {{spoiler|Two of them prove they can be as noble, too, and even [[Interspecies Romance|as loving]].}}

** Freddy Krueger probably counts - he's an [[undead]] [[Reality Warper]] who only exists in the dreams of children.

** Whatever the heck it was that was impersonating Freddy during ''[[Wes Craven's New Nightmare]]'' is definitely an example. It's actually a full-on [[Eldritch Abomination]] - its description in the film is really vague, but we know for sure that it's ancient, [[For the Evulz|enjoys hurting people]], and can only be [[Sealed Evil in a Can|contained]] when a story captures its essence (which Freddy, being the [[Complete Monster]] that he is, seemed to do). Minus the last part, it sounds a lot like [[Cthulhu Mythos|Nyarlathotep]].

 

== [[Oral Tradition]], [[Folklore]], Myths and Legends ==

* Nyx, personification of Night from [[Classical Mythology]]. Usually represented as a beautiful female human, yet a quick look at her children - most of which [[Truly Single Parent|she gave birth to by herself alone]] - should tell you what kind of being she really is. If that doesn't convince you yet, the fact that even ''Zeus'' fears her should.

* Essentially, ''every'' deity that isn't just a superpowered human is this. From Greek Mythology itself Gaia and her ex-consort Ouranos count as well (although neither take preferably humanoid forms, Ouranos being a giant dome or sphere and Gaia the Earth itself, they were capable of manifesting themselves as such, specially to have sex), and even more explicit examples come from [[Egyptian Mythology]] and [[Aztec Mythology]].

** ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' has the [[Final Boss]], {{spoiler|the Shadow Queen}}, whose very presence is capable of plunging the world into an unholy darkness. {[spoiler|''And she's possessed Princess Peach.''}} Bonus points for being [[That One Boss|insanely difficult to defeat]] and rather unsettling.

** {{spoiler|Super Dimentio}}, the [[Final Boss]] of ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', is a [[One-Winged Angel]] form composed of {{spoiler|Luigi, Dimentio, and the Chaos Heart}}.
