"Before there was time, before there was anything, there was nothing. And before there was nothing... there were monsters."
― The Lich (Adventure Time)
"My imagination offered up feverish pictures of a great bloated mass of slobbering malodorous flesh, pocked with gaping mouths, clashing mandibles, protruding rubbery tentacles, and drunkenly weaving eyestalks — then it gave up altogether and retired from the field in disgrace. Whatever I might imagine, what was actually waiting at the bottom of this nest was inevitably going to be worse."
― The War Against the Chtorr
"Mr. President, behind the veil of the universe you perceive, are entities both ageless and fowl and these eldritch forces are rising."
― General John McNamara to President Howard Goodman (Starkid's Black Friday)
"We never made contact with alien life, at least, nothing comprehensible or discernible for human understanding. The stars are vast, and in their vastness our voices have touched the ears of something truly incomprehensible. Something hungry and malevolent."
― Unnamed Narrator (The Quiet Sky)
"The Sun-Eaters are. But they are not like you. Their thoughts are not your thoughts. Their names are better expressed as wavelengths. They see on the planes you have not yet discovered. They have heard the screaming of stars and remember the diaspora of galaxies. They have supped on quantum foam."
― The Buzzing (The Secret World)

Capabilities[]

A user with this ability either is or can transform into an eldritch abomination, a being whose very existence defies the rules of nature and/or existence and is defined by its disregard for the natural laws of the universe as we understand them. They wield godlike powers and are, for the most part, not bound by the laws of the universe. Their true form cannot be grasped by mortal beings and may be interpreted differently by different individuals/species, with others creating a collective delusion of their form. These interpretations can range from the unusual to the awe-inspiring, to the mind-shatteringly terrifying. It is rare, but not unheard of, for the presence of such a being to benefit the universe it currently inhabits.

Quotes[]

  • The Buzzing (The Secret World): The Sun-Eaters are. But they are not like you. Their thoughts are not your thoughts. Their names are better expressed as wavelengths. They see on the planes you have not yet discovered. They have heard the screaming of stars and remember the diaspora of galaxies. They have supped on quantum foam. A mother sleeps, but her body is still aware enough that she will not roll over the infant laying next to her. Do you see? The perceptions of the Dreamers are vast. They dimly perceive the universe in slumber, through an obsidian mirror. These Dream Guardians are their alien perception of life on earth.The Filth Guardians have taken manifold shapes down the aeons. We spy their current shapes. See the Hound. See the Arachnid. See the Bird. See the Boar. The Dreamers' thoughts are not your thoughts, sweetling. This is how they interpret dogs, spiders, birds, and pigs, twisted by the translation of their unknowable minds.See the Unutterable Lurker. Tremble at its cyclopean scope. This is the Sun-Eaters at their most lucid, the purest form of their avatars, guided by their titanic wills. Its vast maw is a prelude to their limitless hunger. It devours whatever it destroys, ravenous forever. It is the hunger dreams of the Sleepers, anticipating their feast upon waking.
  • From Heaven's Door: God wanted to be let in. I didn't want to refer to it as a thing, because that would imply it could exist even in abstract, unclear terms in our world. This God wasn't a thing. It wasn't a presence. It was an existence. That existence was of something horribly, horribly separated from our existence, something that went beyond the vilest sensations man could comprehend and into the black pits of the nothing and the less-than-nothing behind black holes, that which the keenest minds literally could not picture or envision without their brains folding into into pinkish ectoplasm and raped molecules from the strain of it. I didn't want to think about the effect of that existence – that God – would have within our universe. The simplest mercy is that it would simply shatter every established law about the universe we'd laid out and drive us all insane. More likely, it would simply twist our world into something more like Heaven – whatever could be defined as “world” to it. How far would man go to try and understand what it was never meant to perceive?
  • From the Color Out Of Space Movie 2020: I hope the dam water that covers this place will be very deep, but even then, I'll never drink it. There are only a few of us who remember the strange days now. What touched this place cannot be quantified or understood by human science, or our basic concept, our perception of reality. It was just... a color out of space. A messenger from realms whose existence stuns the brain and numbs us with the gulfs that it throws open before our frenzied eyes.
