@HeneryVII left a talk message regarding the matter, and I think we're well beyond launch threshold, so pinging active editors and admins to weigh in:

Bet. Gimme like, 10 minutes.

Umbire the Phantom (talkcontribs)

Alright @Robkelk, gave it the once over and added a few more categories (though really that should've been removed after the first set of categories I gave it, oversight on my part).

Umbire the Phantom (talkcontribs)

Coming back to this after nearly a week - how're we looking?

HeneryVII (talkcontribs)

I think it looks okay.

Ilikecomputers (talkcontribs)

Just added a new example and I'm voting to launch.

Umbire the Phantom (talkcontribs)

Regarding that example, could you perhaps give a bit more context as to the creatures' abominable qualities?

Ilikecomputers (talkcontribs)

Done. Check out the page and let me know if there's anything else to do with the example.

Umbire the Phantom (talkcontribs)

Did what I could with it, thank you.

Robkelk (talkcontribs)

MOD: Somebody ping me when you're ready to launch, please...

Umbire the Phantom (talkcontribs)

@Robkelk: Alright, think we're ready now.

Robkelk (talkcontribs)

Launched, but not yet entry-pimped because my ISP's DNS is having some issues and thus I'm having trouble maintaining a connection. Sorry about that.

Umbire the Phantom (talkcontribs)

Not a problem, I can take it from here. o7 Thanks kindly.

@HeneryVII, wanted to thank you for filling in with some of these examples - just reminding you that the most basic idea of the trope I was shooting for is "Eldritch Abomination in animal form (however vague)". The Minotaur in particular isn't especially abominable in the "incomprehensible" sense of the word - its birth was an affront to human decency, sure, but that's few factors below "an abomination unto the very concept of existence itself" that we get with most EAs.

HeneryVII (talkcontribs)

Yer Velcome, I was having second thoughts on that one myself.

Umbire the Phantom (talkcontribs)

Yeah, was doing a quality pass and thought I should point that out to you. (You also had a redundant bit about Arceus's Pokedex entry, which I'd already covered.)

As for the Norse ones... most of what you added probably fits, but at minimum could use detailed context. I'll give those a pass of their own once I submit this one.

Umbire the Phantom (talkcontribs)

@Looney Toons and @Robkelk, would you be fine if I were to move this into the Trope Workshop sometime soon? I ask because I need a refresher on procedure where this is involved after all this time away...

Looney Toons (talkcontribs)

Ah, that's been restricted to moderators/admins only, because of problems we've had with both vandals and the clueless-but-well-intentioned.

I'll do it for you right now.

Umbire the Phantom (talkcontribs)

Oh, well uh, thanks!
