Unknowable motives don't really solve this problem, as too often, that isn't distinguishable from something that is just overtly malevolent, or apathetic. So, with that in mind, do we have many examples of this? I bring it up because I find the traditional Eldritch Abomination kind of boring at this point because it's either straightforwardly malevolent, or, apathetic. Rather, they're just apathetic to the point of causing destruction, harm to humanity, ect., For what I mean by that, a lot of Cthulhu entities aren't intentionally malevolent. For another example, this thread on page 4 has one from the video game Stellaris.Ģ. For an example of this, I've heard interpretations of the Borg that are along these lines, and I feel like an unknowable monstrosity could work this way. Rather, I'm talking about an entity that thinks it is being benevolent, but doesn't realize how horrific what it's doing is, or otherwise is doing horrific things for, what the entity thinks, is for the best. I do not mean the Eldritch abomination is harmless or lacking in threat.
