* In ''[[Aeon Natum Engel (Fanfic)|Aeon Natum Engel]]'', which is made of [[Neon Genesis Evangelion]], [[Cthulhu Tech]], and [[First Encounter Assault Recon|F.E.A.R.]], this happens a lot, as befits something with that much ambient [[Cosmic Horror Story|cosmic horror]]. Notably averted by Rei, who {{spoiler|arguably ''is'' one of the cosmic horrors.}}

* ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'''s Mildly Disturbing Halloween Mask "appears as a moldering, eldritch veil of such manifold depravity, the human eye will not process the sheer enormity of its malevolence, and out of self-preservation will merely show you a brown paper bag with a team colored face painted on it."
* In ''[[The World Ends With You]]'', it's impossible to make out the Composer's exact features, even though you can clearly tell who it is. He appears in a shroud of white light, and the artwork is sketchy and hard to focus on.

They're a pretty [[Unreliable Narrator]], though, and this was debunked in ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]].''
* The Wave Existence from ''[[Xenogears]]'' is a fourth-dimensional being that humans are unable to comprehend, and he appears as a vaguely star-like... thing from which waves emanate similarly to the ripples on a pond's surface.
* The dragons of ''[[Rift]]'' [[Eldritch Abomination|aren't dragons at all...]]
