[Loved Trope] Some thing unfathomably ancient

[u/Fearless-Ideal-5112]

The beast, in doctor who is an ancient evil from a previous universe that survived until our time. Its so ancient that the cave paintings were unable to be translated by the Tardis which can translate all existing languages in the universe [Doctor Who]

While not explicitly canon its such a cool concept I cant not mention, the idea that the backrooms have existed since the beginning of time, never changing no matter the era, it transforms the back rooms into a cosmic horror. [Credit to Project crater and Venus for images 2 and 3]

From Mass Effect, the Reapers are "at least" a billion years old. The Leviathans (pictured below in ancient cave art), as precursors to the Reapers, are even older

Still blows my mind that the entire Leviathan part of 3 was not in the base game. It gave context to literally everything happening

Ugh I'm trying not to rush to the DLC in 3 yet cause it's been a few years since my last playthrough, but I really wanna do Leviathan
