Eldritch Abominations
Eldritch Abominations are fictional entities often found in horror literature and games, characterized by their incomprehensible nature and immense power. They typically defy the laws of physics and biology, appearing as grotesque, otherworldly beings that evoke fear and madness in those who encounter them. These creatures are commonly associated with cosmic horror, a genre that emphasizes the insignificance of humanity in the face of vast, unknowable forces.
In many stories, Eldritch Abominations are linked to ancient myths and forbidden knowledge, often represented as gods or beings from other dimensions. Notable examples include Cthulhu, created by H.P. Lovecraft, and other entities from the Cthulhu Mythos. Their presence often leads to chaos and despair, challenging the sanity of characters who come into contact with them.
