* A common theme in the ''Franchise/CthulhuMythos''. Many Great Old Ones and assorted [[EldritchAbomination eldritch abominations]] are sleeping and bring ruin as they shift in their sleep. Their awakening, which is said to be inevitable, will bring about TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt, something that is barely, barely averted in "Literature/TheCallOfCthulhu" when the titular monster wakes.

* The Reapers from ''VideoGame/MassEffect'' do this as part of the fifty thousand year cycle that they're a part of. Normally, the Reapers sit outside the galaxy in Dark Space, waiting for galactic civilization to arrive at a certain threshold. They then awaken, invade the galaxy, and wipe out every advanced race that's capable of spaceflight. The species currently in power in the galaxy that we meet over the course of the trilogy were all pre-historic at the time of the last cycle, and the discovery of the Leviathan of Dis reveals that the cycle has repeated itself for [[TimeAbyss over a billion years]]. Each cycle they leave behind a vanguard that hibernates within the galaxy and awakes regularly to see if it's time for the invasion.
