** Apep, the Lord of Chaos, was a monstrous serpent said to have come to life immediately after the birth of Ra, arising from the sun god's own [[{{Squick}} animated, undead umbilical cord]]. The two deities waged war every night when Ra took the Sun into the Underworld to rejuvenate it, with Apep attempting to destroy it and Ra. Ra would be protected by other gods, or battle the serpent himself while in the form of a cat. If Apep were ever to win -- which could theoretically happen every time the sun went down -- he would devour both Ra and the Sun, and the world would end.

* ''Videogame/DoomEternal:''
** The Icon of Sin is one of these, created by Hell to drag entire worlds, and often the rest of the universe, into Hell with its rampage and mere presence. It's appropriately titanic, bigger than even the great Titans the Slayer was known for battling, and utterly unstoppable; only a [[InfinityPlusOneSword Crucible]] is able to keep it down for any length of time.
** The demons consider the Doom Slayer to be their own version, complete with MarkOfTheBeast. Though rather than heralding the apocalypse or carrying it with him, he ''[[PersonOfMassDestruction is]]'' it; every last death that comes from the Endtimes he brings is [[OneManArmy by his own hands]].
* In ''VideoGame/DragonFable'', there are two Dragon Boxes with dragon eggs inside them: The that hatches from the Black Dragon Box will destroy the world, and the one that hatches from the White Dragon Box will save it. The one from the White Dragon Box, Fluffy, is corrupted and [[{{Dracolich}} turned undead]], so the world is doomed, right? [[spoiler: Fluffy saves the world by weakening itself after it's forced to gain a lot of power, and the one from the Black Dragon Box destroys a planet...

* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls''
** Alduin the World-Eater, a colossal black dragon and "firstborn" of Akatosh, the God of Time and TopGod of the [[SaintlyChurch Nine Divines]] pantheon (or possibly an aspect of Akatosh, as sources conflict on the matter). Alduin's divine mandate is to devour the world at the end of every "kalpa", or [[EternalRecurrence cycle of time]], to make way for the new world in the next kalpa. As Alduin is the ''[[AnthropomorphicPersonification embodiment]]'' of [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt the end of the world]] itself, he can only manifest his full power when it is time to actually end the world, at which point he becomes a titanic monster with divine power even beyond that of the [[OurGodsAreDifferent Daedric Princes]]. However, Alduin doesn't seem particularly interested in fulfilling his purpose. He'd much rather ''rule'' the world and be worshiped as a god than destroy it. Since it isn't the appropriate time for him to end the world when he serves as the BigBad in ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'', he is "[[BroughtDownToBadass merely]]" an invincible dragon who needs a very specific realty-warping [[LanguageOfMagic Thu'um]] shout ([[BrownNote Dragonrend]]) to even render him into a state where he can be hurt.
** Satakal, the Yokudan "God of Everything," is this in Redguard culture (with many parallels to Alduin, [[WildMassGuessing prompting speculation that they are the same entity/event seen by two different cultures]]). Suffering from a great hunger, Satakal consumes the world in order to create another, leaving behind "worldskins" as he does. Ruptga, the "Tall Papa" and [[TopGod chief deity]] of the Yokudan pantheon, was the first spirit to survive this process and helped to teach others how to survive as well. Those who do typically [[AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence become additional deities]] in the Yokudan pantheon. "Weaker" spirits, like those of the mortals within Mundus, hope to make it to the "[[WarriorHeaven Far Shores]]," a safe haven from Satakal.
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'' has many that would qualify: Bahamut, the Primal that caused so much damage to the world that it was the in-story catalyst for the ''A Realm Reborn'' relaunch. Nidhogg, the hateful brother of the original Bahamut and one of the brood of Midgardsormr, seeking to end an entire kingdom (and potentially everything else in his way) for crimes committed many generations ago. Shinryu, a different dragon Primal made to finish what Bahamut started. None of them succeeded due to the actions of either the player or other major characters. [[spoiler:They all pale in comparison to the Terminus creatures, celestial horrors who actually DID end the world - the old, unsundered world, that is. And they're coming back.]]
* ''VideoGame/GodOfWarRagnarok'': Surprisingly played straight, despite the fact that in the original myths and for much of the story, everyone assumes that Ragnarök is the name of the actual event where the Aesir and Jotnar have their final clash.

Alduin's divine mandate is to devour the world at the end of every "kalpa", or [[EternalRecurrence cycle of time]], to make way for the new world in the next kalpa. As Alduin is the ''[[AnthropomorphicPersonification embodiment]]'' of [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt the end of the world]] itself, he can only manifest his full power when it is time to actually end the world, at which point he becomes a titanic monster with divine power even beyond that of the [[OurGodsAreDifferent Daedric Princes]]. However, Alduin doesn't seem particularly interested in fulfilling his purpose. He'd much rather ''rule'' the world and be worshiped as a god than destroy it. Since it isn't the appropriate time for him to end the world when he serves as the BigBad in ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'', he is "[[BroughtDownToBadass merely]]" an invincible dragon who needs a very specific realty-warping [[LanguageOfMagic Thu'um]] shout ([[BrownNote Dragonrend]]) to even render him into a state where he can be hurt.
** Satakal, the Yokudan "God of Everything," is this in Redguard culture (with many parallels to Alduin, [[WildMassGuessing prompting speculation that they are the same entity/event seen by two different cultures]]). Suffering from a great hunger, Satakal consumes the world in order to create another, leaving behind "worldskins" as he does.
