* In ''WebOriginal/OrionsArm'', such beings are known as [[http://www.orionsarm.com/eg-topic/45c540c45a501 "Animin"]]. They are a class of transapients that have all the powers and capabilities typical of most ascended beings, but do not exhibit a rational, self-aware mindset. They generally are instinctive beings, and behave more like wild animals than humans or other sapient lifeforms, and are sometimes called Elementals.

* In 'VideoGame/RuneScape'', [[BeastOfTheApocalypse Tuska the World Eater]] was once a boar-like creature who by random chance happened to [[KillTheGod kill a god once]]. [[YouKillItYouBoughtIt Said god's divinity was then transferred to Tuska]], who retained her animal instincts upon ascension; the result was a titanic boar-like monstrosity who rampaged across the universe ravaging world after world to sate her hunger. Things got arguably worse when the Airut became her followers and began controlling her with massive reins, allowing them to direct her towards specific worlds for her to devour while they [[RapePillageAndBurn pillaged what was left and enslaved the survivors]].

Compare GooGooGodlike, when the holder of such power is ''literally'' a child, and KingOfAllCosmos, when the subject is merely eccentric. If a mythical omniscient deity is depicted like this, then it's also AdaptationalDumbass.

* In ''Anime/HealinGoodPrettyCure'', the villain Daruizen is wounded after [[spoiler:King Byogen tries to [[DevourTheDragon devour]] him]] and absorbs a large number of [[AmplifierArtifact Mega Parts]] in a desperate attempt to save himself. This causes him to transform into an enormous OneWingedAngel, but also makes him lose his cold and cunning personality and become a mindless, raging beast.

** The Sarkic cults have this view of their "deity". They believe it is nothing more than a destructive force that wrecks entire worlds because of pure hunger, and has no other drive or any other thought that isn't this destruction. Their relationship with it is, seemingly, less "Deity and clerics" and more "Beast and parasites", believing they weaken it in drawing its power and this is what they should do, among others.

** In ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'', [[spoiler:Fusion Zamasu's]] OneWingedAngel form is an EldritchAbomination and the most powerful villain in the series yet, however at the cost of what intellect and little sanity he had left, becoming a mindless force of destruction. Given [[spoiler:he's assimilated the future timeline and has begun to leak into other timelines]], him being this trope is a good thing as the only way the heroes managed to beat him is [[spoiler:summoning [[TopGod Zen'o]]]] and had no way to fight what he'd become.
** In the ''Manga/DragonBallSuper'' manga, [[spoiler: Moro]] also becomes this for the final chapters of his arc. Though perhaps not quite on the omnicidal level of anime [[spoiler: Infinite Zamasu]], he [[spoiler: absorbs angelic power from Merus, though because his untrained body cannot handle it, he merges himself with the Earth,]] with it being stated that if he were to detonate, the entire ''galaxy'' would be destroyed along with him.

See also WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity, MadGod, and TorturedMonster. May be a result of TouchedByVorlons or PhlebotinumOverload. Compare GooGooGodlike, when the holder of such power is a ''literal'' child rather, and KingOfAllCosmos, when the subject is merely eccentric. If a mythical omniscient deity is depicted like this, then it's also AdaptationalDumbass.

* Larfleeze from ''Franchise/GreenLantern'' is a deranged IdiotSavant who's only concern is [[StickyFingers stealing shiny things]]. He's also the only Orange Lantern, meaning he has sole access to ''all'' of the Orange Light's power. This makes him one of the most powerful ring wielders in the universe, a borderline PhysicalGod in comparison to TheChosenMany that compromise the other Lantern Corps. Fortunately for everyone else, his insanity and kleptomania means that he prefers to hide himself away and guard his loot rather than cause havoc.

For some, the temptation of [[PhysicalGod god-like power]] becomes too great. However, this type of power [[TooMuchForManToHandle was not meant for mere mortals to wield]]. The prospect of cramming that much power into a mortal vessel destroys the recipient's mind, leaving him an empty shell of a man with unlimited power but the mental faculties of a half-wit child, or worse, a feral animal.

* In ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'', Iblis is a godlike beast of phenomenal destructive power but no rational thought whose mindless rampage destroyed most of the world, ushering in a BadFuture. [[spoiler:This is because he is the embodiment of the ''raw power'' of the [[EldritchAbomination sun god Solaris]], while the ''conscious mind'' was split into another being, [[ManipulativeBastard Mephiles the Dark]].]]

* ''I was caught up in a hero summoning but that world is at peace'': Downplayed in the case of Shallow Vernal. She is the [[TopGod Top Goddess]] of the setting and a nigh omnipotent being, but while she is technically nigh omniscient due to her position, being able to see the past, present, and future, and being able to become an InstantExpert at things without needing to see how they are done, she is nevertheless incredibly airheaded and lacks common sense, being nicknamed the "airheaded Goddess". She tends to display WomanChild tendencies, and generally acts like a BrainlessBeauty despite having access to nearly infinite knowledge.

** Although the giant Nimrod retains all his earthly size and strength while in Hell, he is the only soul who speaks humanity's original, pre-[[CurseOfBabel Babel]] tongue. As such, the world's greatest hunter is left only able to speak nonsense and unable to understand any other language as anything but babel.

** Scion, the most powerful parahuman in the world and the first superhero, appears to be this. He doesn't appear to be able to prioritize, so he deals with flooded levies in Switzerland before dealing with the giant monster slaughtering superheroes and killing millions in New Delhi, and nobody can communicate with him to tell him about it. [[spoiler:It's revealed that he's actually completely directionless with the exception of orders given by a homeless man in London, and the communication is infrequent enough that errors slip in.]] Many superheroes and villains refer to him as "the big [[ChromeChampion golden]] idiot". Though is actually because [[spoiler:he's a SufficientlyAdvancedAlien and doesn't think the way a human would. Though he's still kind of an idiot, as he originally had a partner who did the planning, while Scion was the warrior of the pair.]]

* In Gnosticism, the name of the demiurge is Samael, meaning the blind God or God of the blind. This blindness refers to an ignorance of the spiritual nature of reality, and so the demiurge creates ignorantly.

* In ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'', [[spoiler:Fusion Zamasu's]] OneWingedAngel form is an EldritchAbomination and the most powerful villain in the series yet, however at the cost of what intellect and little sanity he had left, becoming a mindless force of destruction. Given [[spoiler:he's assimilated the future timeline and has begun to leak into other timelines]], him being this trope is a good thing as the only way the heroes managed to beat him is [[spoiler:summoning [[TopGod Zen'o]]]] and had no way to fight what he'd become.

* ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'': After Vamdemon is defeated and killed by the Chosen Children, his bats familiars consume his remaining underlings and fuse with his mask, allowing the vampire digimon to be reborn into his Mega form, [=VenomVamdemon=]. Unfortunately, [=VenomVamdemon=] is nothing but a mindless and feral beast whose only objective is to destroy and devour everything in his path.
** ''Anime/DigimonTamers'': Megidramon, the corrupted evolution of the main partner Guilmon, is a [[OlympusMons legendary dragon Digimon]] so powerful that threatened to collapse the entire Digital World by existing. Unfortunately, it's a near-mindless feral animal too limited in intelligence to even use its attacks. All it was able to think of was trying to eat its opponents.
%%* In ''Anime/Pokemon3'', [[EldritchAbomination the Unown]] are potent {{Reality Warper}}s, but with little understanding of context or how humans operate. As such, their initial interactions with Molly were based entirely on taking whatever her latest wish was and applying a metaphysical hammer to it: when she wishes for a mother, for example, [[AnimalisticAbomination the "Entei" they created]] pops off to find Delia Ketchum and hypnotises and abducts her because hey, she's ''someone's'' mother, right?

* In the ''ComicBook/{{Preacher}}'' comic series, Jesse Custer was the host for Genesis, a potentially all-powerful newborn spirit that had no sense of individual will. It's repeatedly likened to a supernatural battery.

* Thunderwing from IDW’s ''ComicBook/TheTransformersMegaseries'' used [[ProfessorGuineaPig himself]] as a test subject for his experiments with Pretender technology. These experiments made him extremely powerful and nearly indestructible, but also drove him mad, and the formerly brilliant scientist is now a near-mindless PersonOfMassDestruction.

* The One-Below-All from ''ComicBook/ImmortalHulk'' is a terrifyingly powerful EldritchAbomination, but it gradually turns out that it has no real mind of its own. It has a drive and desire ([[OmnicidalManiac destroying reality]]), but cannot actually focus or think to achieve that goal without [[MouthOfSauron a mortal host]] to direct it. As Brian Banner puts it, the thing is all id and no ego.

* ''Fanfic/AnimorphsRedux'' essentially turned David into this; he’s not entirely stupid, but [[spoiler:Cassie's displaced future self]] notes that David’s new morphing power has essentially driven him insane, making it even harder for him to come up with a coherent plan beyond ‘kill everyone I don’t like’.

* ''Fanfic/SonicHolograph's'' Planet-Eater is very much this. Hard to be anything else when you're a composite entity made of [[EldritchAbomination Eldritch Abominations]] who only somewhat recently felt the fear of death for the first time ever, causing their survival instincts to go into perpetual full blast and making them constantly... well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin eat planets]].

* [[KingofAllCosmos Azathoth]] from Creator/HPLovecraft's work is known among Lovecraft fans as the "Blind Idiot God". He created reality by accident, and will be equally oblivious when he destroys it. He's really more of a metaphor for primal chaos than a being in his own right, though; he's quite literally mindless.
** With the exception of [[JerkassGods Nyarlathotep]], most of Lovecraft's Outer Gods, Great Old Ones, and other semi-divine beings have a bit of this, being so reliant on BlueAndOrangeMorality that they're barely aware humans exist. Even the [[FishPeople Deep Ones]], some of the Franchise/CthulhuMythos' more-comprehensible and human-like beings, come across as oddly lazy and unmotivated in their duties, as if they know their bosses aren't really paying attention, and are more interested in [[VillainsOutShopping making jewelry, their scholastic pursuits,]] and occasionally [[MarsNeedsWomen getting freaky with humans]] than in bringing about TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt.
-->...but some day, if they remembered, they would rise again for the tribute Great Cthulhu craved.
** In Creator/ClarkAshtonSmith's oddly comical short story "The Door To Saturn", a pair of Earthlings take the eponymous door and meet Saturn's TopGod, Hziulquoigmnzhah - whose name is [[TheUnpronouncable hard to pronounce]] even by Mythos standards. In contrast to his nephew Tsathoggua - a [[JerkassGods small-minded, grouchy]], [[LazyBum lazy]] god, who appears prominently in Smith's other stories - Hziulquoigmnzhah is more ''serenely'' lazy, to the point where he comes across as [[TheStoner stoned]].
* In ''Literature/ShadowsOfTheApt'', this is the true nature of [[spoiler: the Worm]]; an immensely ancient and powerful ''thing'' that has no sentience to speak of and desires nothing but to [[HungryMenace feed]] and [[AssimilationPlot assimilate]]. The creature's sheer stupidity is so powerful it can actually [[StupidityInducingAttack affect other people]]; magicians exposed to it, or even its minions, will completely forget how to cast spells, and [[{{Muggles}} Apt]] will lose the knowledge of what their technology even ''is''. [[spoiler: The Worm]] doesn't understand magic or science, and its influence makes sure nobody else does either.[[spoiler: Ultimately, the Worm's stupidity is its undoing, as the fact that it will mindlessly consume anything set in front of it allows one character to FeedItABomb. And after all, explosives blow up whether their target understands them or not]].
* Anthony Fremont from ''Literature/ItsAGoodLife'' has limitless RealityWarper powers but intelligence-wise he's very much a normal three-year-old. This is quite problematic for the people of his hometown as he doesn't realize that doing things like forcing a rat to eat itself or disappearing people who upset him is wrong.

* ''Literature/{{Middlegame}}'': The Doctrine of Ethos is a supernatural force that can grant godlike {{Reality Warp|er}}ing power to a human host. However, the host can't do anything with it other than [[EmptyShell stare mindlessly at the wall]], utterly subsumed by it. The twin protagonists are a workaround, as they can [[WonderTwinPowers share the Doctrine]] between them and retain their minds.

* ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'':
** The C'Tan used to be like this, being incomprehensibly ancient gas-clouds whose entire existence revolved around eating radiation emitted from stars. They weren't even aware of the existence of other life. Then the Necrontyr discovered them and gave them new bodies of living metal. The C'tan gained greater intelligence and awareness of the universe around them. Unfortunately, since they were still at heart creatures driven by the desire to consume, this only meant they now realized they could try eating things other than radiation -- like lifeforce and souls.
** The Chaos Gods, DependingOnTheWriter both InUniverse and out, also may be like this. Some depictions have them as very clever, sapient and in full control of "the game of chaos" they are reputed to play (in other words, toying with mortals for their own amusement), while other depictions have them as single-minded entities caring only about the concepts they are made out of -- anger for Khorne, desire for Slaanesh, change for Tzeentch and stagnation for Nurgle.
*** Tzeentch's plans are forever crashing into each other and interrupted by other, equally long-spanning plans, especially if they would give him ultimate victory. He very much does not want that, since it would leave him with no one to plot against.

* ''TabletopGame/CallOfCthulhu'' features Azathoth, the ur-example. In the classic BRP, he has an INT of 0 and is literally mindless; in the d20 edition, he instead has Intelligence 3, the minimum intelligence for a sentient being. ''Trail of Cthulhu'' lacks stats for gods beyond the damage they do to Stability and Sanity, but they offer some alternate interpretations of Azathoth. One possibility is that it's a supermassive black hole that developed a rudimentary sentience; another, that it's a mathematical anomaly whose existence is pure agony and which seeks to destroy the universe that forces it to exist.
* ''TabletopGame/WarhammerFantasy'': Morghur the Shadowgave, a HumanoidAbomination that only seems to exist to destroy and despoil all of creation, is completely mindless. His wanderings are almost entirely random as he corrupts all in his path and leaves nothing but ruin and Chaos Spawn in his wake, save that they inevitably lead him, in one way or another, towards Athel Loren.

* The True Fae of ''TabletopGame/ChangelingTheLost''. For all their vast power and genius intellects, they are not even truly sapient, though the oaths and memes that rule them are complex enough to fake it. They are incapable of true change or growth, instead endlessly playing out the stories and webs of contracts by which they bargained themselves into existence.

* {{Trope Namer|s}} Giygas is described as this at the end of ''VideoGame/EarthBound1994''. He achieved ultimate power, but went insane in the process, and what Ness and company ultimately confront is a babbling abomination in a constant state of self-inflicted MindRape.
* The final boss of ''Videogame/SilentHill3'', as in the [[Videogame/SilentHill1 first game,]] is the God of the town's ApocalypseCult, [[spoiler: born [[HumanoidAbomination incomplete, vicious, and feral]] after the priestess Claudia ingests it as a fetus.]] It is possible that the God appeared this way because Claudia is not the intended vessel, unlike the protagonist Heather, who carried the God in her womb throughout the game.

* Deathevan, the BigBad of ''VideoGame/BreathOfFireII'', is strongly implied to be this. He's been propped up as the godhead of the [[PathOfInspiration Church of Eva]] for so long that he believes his own propaganda, appearing before the party as an old man in white robes before [[PlayerPunch giving Ryu reason to]] [[UnstoppableRage attack him in a berserk rage]]. Once he's wounded, Deathevan's facade falls away, and [[OneWingedAngel his monstrous final form]] is a screaming lunatic that can't even comprehend why Ryu and his friends would fight so vehemently against him.
* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'':
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOracleGames'': [[TrueFinalBoss Ganon]] becomes this due to a resurrection ritual that Link interrupts. Twinrova wanted to sacrifice Zelda, but when Link defeats her she sacrifices herself instead, bringing back all of the guy's power but none of his mind.
** According to ''Literature/HyruleHistoria'', Ganon never fully recovered from his botched resurrection in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOracleGames''; his next appearance in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaI'' is described as a beast deprived of Ganondorf's genius intellect, explaining why the final battle of that game is more of a simple KingKoopaCopy boss fight in relative comparison to other games.
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'': Ganon is now a near-mindless monster incapable of speech who is only hate and malice incarnate. It's why he's known as "the Calamity Ganon" in this game: he's not a ''person'' or even a ''being'', he's a destructive phenomenon, like an earthquake or a hurricane. Some characters, like the Old Man, go so far as to refer to Ganon as [[ItIsDehumanizing "it"]] rather than "him," due to Ganon's mindless nature.
* [[spoiler:Yu Yevon]] in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' is little more than a computer program, running on a policy of:
-->10 PRESERVE [[spoiler:Dream Zanarkand]]\\

* In ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'', Shepard boards a dead Reaper. The video logs from the researchers that previously investigated the ship bring this trope home:
-->'''Researcher:''' A god -- a real god -- is a verb. Not some old man with magic powers. It's a force. It warps reality just by being there. It doesn't have to want to. It doesn't have to think about it. It just does. ...The god's mind is gone but it still dreams.

* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'':
** In the series' primary CreationMyth, the GodOfGods Anu and TheAntiGod Padomay are the [[AnthropomorphicPersonification personifications]] of the forces of [[OrderVersusChaos "stasis/order/light" and "change/chaos/darknesss"]], respectively. The interplay of these forces is what led to creation itself. From their "[[PiecesOfGod spilled blood]]" came the et'Ada, "original spirits", who would go on to become either [[OurGodsAreDifferent the Aedra or the Daedra]] depending on their actions during the creation of Mundus, the mortal plane. Sithis, the "[[PowerOfThevoid great void]]" embodiment of the force of chaos and said to be related to Padomay, is treated similarly.
** Lorkhan, [[IHaveManyNames also known by many other names]], is the et'Ada who (depending on the storyteller) convinced/tricked some of the other et'Ada into sacrificing large portions of their divine power to create Mundus. For this perceived treachery, these et'Ada who made sacrifices (Aedra) punished Lorkhan by [[GodIsDead "killing"]] him, removing his divine center ("heart"), and casting it down into the world he helped to create where his spirit would be forced to wander. Most [[OurElvesAreDifferent races of Mer (Elves)]] consider the creation of Mundus a malevolent act, which robbed their divine ancestors of their immortality and forced them to experience mortal suffering and loss. According to their religious teachings, Lorkhan is a powerful but "barely formed urge" of a being. Similarly, as Sep in [[ScaryBlackMan Yokudan/Redguard]] tradition, he was created by [[TopGod Ruptga]] to help guide spirits to the [[WarriorHeaven Far Shores]], but being driven by the same HorrorHunger that afflicts Satakal[[note]]the Yokudan/Redguard CompositeCharacter of the concepts of Anu and Padomay[[/note]] (having been formed from the "worldskins" that Satakal leaves behind), he attempts to consume those spirits and then, after being stopped by Ruptga, devises Mundus as an easier alternative to reaching the Far Shores. However, his plan is flawed and actually makes it ''harder'' for spirits to get there.
* In ''[[VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy Dissidia Duodeceim]]'', the aptly-named Feral Chaos is little more than a [[TheBerserker raging beast]], the result of the game's main antagonist achieving even greater destructive power at the cost of his mind.
* In ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'', Iblis is a godlike beast of phenomenal destructive power but no rational thought whose mindless rampage destroyed most of the world, ushering in a BadFuture. [[spoiler:This is because he is the embodiment of the ''raw power'' of the [[EldritchAbomination sun god Solaris]], while the ''conscious mind'' was split into another being, [[ManipulativeBastard Mephiles the Dark]].]]
* In ''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}'', a line from Micolash suggests Rom the Vacuous Spider may be one of these. A theory that shows some credence since the word "vacuous" essentially means "mindless". [[spoiler: In one ending, you may also become one when you ascend to become a newborn [[EldritchAbomination Great One]].]]

* Omega in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'' is an eons-old killing machine with one directive: to become stronger by facing down ever more powerful adversaries. Therefore, despite having the power to create entire worlds in his Interdimensional Rift, all of his efforts are spent organizing what amounts to [[UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny a colossal tournament between the strongest beings in history and folklore]] in the hopes of producing a worthy opponent for himself. When confronted with a problem, his go-to option is [[AxCrazy lethal force]]: he nearly kills the [[PlayerCharacter Warrior of Light]]'s allies on several occasions in an attempt to prod his "experiment" forward, and puts the Warrior of Light himself in a DeathTrap [[MadScientist purely to test a theory.]]
* ''VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies'': [[spoiler: Void Termina is described by the in-game flavor text as a being "born from [[ThePowerOfHate the total absence of care]]" who has no sense of right or wrong. Sure enough, it spends the first quarter of its boss fight stomping around and smashing things with wild abandon. However, as the fight rages on, its attacks start getting a bit more strategic, and by the time Kirby and friends make it to Void Termina's core, it's "matured" into a living being capable of thought and emotion (but still corrupted by hate).]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Control}}'': [[BigBad The Hiss]] is an incredibly powerful and hostile EldritchAbomination from outside conventional reality, but aside from minor asides about it [[ItsPersonal having a genuine hatred for]] [[ArchEnemy Polaris]] [[spoiler:and [[VideoGame/AlanWake the Dark Presence]]]], it operates more or less like a non-sapient virus, being only focused on ensuring its own propagation.
* ''VideoGame/CultistSimulator'' has [[AnimateBodyParts The Heart Relentless]], who does not permit conclusion. He is also the closest thing the setting has to a GodOfGood, as he beats ceaselessly to protect the skin of the world from [[PuppeteerParasite the Worms]] and [[EldritchAbomination the Gods-from-Nowhere]].

** Gog-Agog is an inversion; despite her power and insanity, she's willfully weak compared to the rest of the pantheon and rules the multiverse's media industry. WordOfGod confirms she ''could'' become stronger than all the other Demiurges combined - but that would reduce her to the apathetic and/or non-sapient mass of worms she originally was.

* ''Wiki/SCPFoundation'':

* ''Fanfic/SonicHolograph's'' Planet-Eater is very much this. Hard to be anything else when you're a composite entity made of EldritchAbomination|s who only somewhat recently felt the fear of death for the first time ever, causing their survival instincts to go into perpetual full blast and making them constantly... well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin eat planets]].

* In ''Literature/ShadowsOfTheApt'', this is the true nature of [[spoiler: the Worm]]; an immensely ancient and powerful ''thing'' that has no sentience to speak of and desires nothing but to [[HungryMenace feed]] and [[AssimilationPlot assimilate]]. The creature's sheer stupidity is so powerful it can actually [[StupidityInducingAttack affect other people]]; magicians exposed to it, or even its minions, will completely forget how to cast spells, and [[{{Muggles}} Apt]] will lose the knowledge of how their technology works. [[spoiler: The Worm]] doesn't understand magic or science, and its influence makes sure nobody else does either.[[spoiler: Ultimately, the Worm's stupidity is its undoing, as the fact that it will mindlessly consume anything set in front of it allows one character to FeedItABomb. And after all, explosives blow up whether their target understands them or not]].

* ''WesternAnimation/AtlantisTheLostEmpire'': It's implied that Rouke's crystal transformation has subsumed what's left of his rationale. All the formerly crafty and cunning commander can do now is howl and snarl like an animal, and he lunges blindly into the propeller blades trying to get Milo. The novelization mentions that Rourke seems to be in "a trance, as if he did not see or feel the world around him."
[[/folder]]

* ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'': When Emperor Ganishka attempts the forbidden ritual of giving himself a second reincarnation in order to gain the power to defeat Griffith, he ends up turning into a many-tentacled monstrosity which towers over the whole city of Wyndham. As Ganishka first emerges he's still himself mentally--albeit DrunkOnTheDarkSide--but by the time he reaches full height the transformation is already causing his ego to implode. He mistakes his own soldiers below him for tiny insects and starts on stepping them, thinking the "red flowers" that bloom when he crushes them are beautiful. A minute later he can't even remember who he is anymore, and does not comprehend the destruction he's causing by trampling and raining fire on everything in his path.

->"''So, isn't this terrifying? I'm terrified too... Giygas cannot think rationally any more, and he isn't even aware of what he is doing now. His own mind was destroyed by his incredible power...'''What an all-mighty idiot!'''''"

** VideoGame/MassEffect3 also gives us [[spoiler:The Catalyst]]. An AI created millions of years ago dedicated to a goal which the series has proved is no longer true yet it continues to insist that synthetics and organics can never co-exist and this [[spoiler:the Reapers are necessary to wipe out organics before conflict can grow out of control]]. No matter what arguments Shepard makes, whether they're a Paragon or a Renegade, this AI will not be swayed.
