Lovecraftian Superpower: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

 

* The hero of [[FPS]] ''[[The Darkness]]'', Jackie Estacado, sprouts a pair of snapping serpentine demon-heads from his shoulders, as well as producing dark tentacles to impale foes and destroy walls as needed.

* In the first ''[[Baten Kaitos]]'' game, {{spoiler|Geldoblame}} is transformed into a hideous deformed monstrosity after {{spoiler|infusing himself with the power of Malpercio}}. [[Jiggle Physics]] are involved, which is as [[Squick|unpleasant]] as it sounds.

** Most of the other plasmids, which are injected into yourself in order to [[Lego Genetics|rapidly modify your genetic structure]], combine this with [[Elemental Powers]].

* Similarly to ''[[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]]'' and ''[[Warhammer 40000]]'', [[ADOM]] features various "corruptions" that you eventually gain after enough exposure to the forces of Chaos (from traps and Chaos beings, but also simply being deep in a dungeon). These most commonly take the form of Lovecraftian superpowers - although as "superpowers", they're mostly examples of [[Blessed with Suck]]. Also similarly to the ''Warhammer'' games, taking enough corruption will turn you into a "writhing mass of primal Chaos".
