* EldritchAbomination: The Krang are ''very close'' to being this. In addition to being worshipped by cultists (in the form of the Foot Clan) and having vast powers over both physical forces like gravity and mystical energies, they cannot be destroyed, merely delayed or trapped in other dimensions. Their Technodrome seems to be particularly intended to invoke this trope, with its appearance over New York heralded by a tear in space and huge Cthulhu-esque tentacles reaching out from the breach.
