* This trope is used by name by the Einst in ''SuperRobotWars''. Neue Einst Regisseur is an EldritchAbomination who believes that his role is to preserve the universe(s), and the spread of intelligent life and conscious thought is leading to its decay. In order to restore a "world of silence", he starts by trying to find a way to "purify" humans, and when that turns out to be impossible he decides to simply wipe them out and replace them with soulless Einst duplicates. [[HumanityIsInfectious That plan didn't turn out so well, either.]]
