Abusive Precursors	comment	The verdict is out on some Precursors. Others, however, are not just guilty, they are guilty with extreme prejudice. An abundance of Sealed Evil in a Can with flimsy seals and easily found keys? They did it on purpose. They even labelled the can as Happy Fun Time For All! to make sure you'd open it — or "Evil Inside, Do Not Release" just relying on humanity's inability to ignore Schmuck Bait. Sometimes, odds are that THEY are the evil in the can. Plagues? Oh, they made it. Then even stored it with crates of candy to make sure you'd catch it. They did not just leave a Lost Super Weapon for villains to acquire; they gave them a manual, tech support, and a 10,000-millennium powertrain warranty. In short, the Abusive Precursors cause problems through more direct acts than their neglectful equivalent, with the clear intent of doing so. To make it worse, it's likely they are still around and powerful enough that you can't do a thing about it. If a setting has both Neglectful or Benevolent and Abusive Precursors, expect them to have been at war, and that the Abusive Precursors either won or ended up as Sealed Evil in a Can or Only Mostly Dead. Now that their sworn enemies have become Energy Beings and moved to another plane of existence they might be ready to come back and take it out on their enemies' toys. Also, there are very good odds that both types of precursors share origins somehow, with either one race creating the other, both races being offshoots of one another or of a third race, or both being different cultures of the same race. Just to compound the problem, while other surviving Precursors are likely to be Energy Beings as mentioned these are more likely to be Eldritch Abominations. However, if they aren't around, they might have been wiped out by Precursor Killers, who could be even more dangerous. The Dark Times are a mythological period in the past when the Abusive Precursors were at the height of their power. Sub-trope of Precursors, with Benevolent Precursors as Inversion. Compare God Is Evil. If this trope applies only to parental relationships, then it is the Abusive Parents trope.

A Day in the Limelight for Scion shows that it and Eden have done this for hundreds if not thousands of planets before, granting the inhabitants powers and watching them develop and create new shards through growth and conflict, then wiping them out when they no longer served any purpose. Scion comes mere inches away from doing the same to humanity, too.

Abusive Precursors / int_14494034	comment	Abraxas (Hrodvitnon): It's revealed in Chapter 10 that Ghidorah was created by a technologically-advanced alien civilization, referred to as the Makers or "the Ones Who Made Us", billions of years ago. These alien beings apparently did "bad things" to Ghidorah which directly triggered and indirectly exacerbated Ghidorah's descent into evil (a descent which was apparently irrevocable for two of the three heads). These aliens made Ghidorah specifically to be a Bioweapon Beast (bear in mind that on an Earth-like planet, Ghidorah is capable of almost single-handedly ending all multicellular life on a global scale), and elaboration by the author on her Tumblr has only painted an even nastier picture regarding what these aliens were really like and the things they did that drove Ghidorah down its dark path. Unsurprisingly, when these beings let Ghidorah out of its cage expecting it to obliterate something for them, Ghidorah did what they wanted it to and then it eradicated THEM for all that they'd done to it.

Abusive Precursors / int_1641fd92	comment	The ancient Ryuvians from Sunrider were the oldest known human civilization in the setting, and they were not nice people. They ruled the entire galaxy for tens of thousands of years, their emperors were worshipped as gods because their technology was so advanced that it was practically magical, their royal court was a snake pit of intrigues and betrayals, and their dreadnoughts were so powerful that a single one could destroy everything in a half-lightyear radius and all of them working in concert could conceivably destroy reality. Fortunately for everyone else, they’ve long since forgotten the secrets of their technology and become a Vestigial Empire consisting of a single backwater planet. Unfortunately, many of their automated war machines are still lying around, waiting to attack anyone that stumbles upon them. And even worse, a time-travelling Ryuvian warlord is planning to rebuild the Holy Ryuvian Empire in the present day by conquering the galaxy.

One of the sides genetically engineered monsters and three vampires (which includes the main character and the Big Bad) to make up their military power. The other side created Sorcerous weapons to combat these monsters. The war escalated until less than ten percent of the human population remained, who had to deal with all the monsters let loose, as well as the vampires.

Around a thousand years ago, he saw we were thinking with our heads and casting doubt on his word, so he closed the gates of Heaven to everyone (although this might have had to do with the fact that Earth stopped being Crapsack World enough for new arrivals to be happy with what was offered to them as "heaven"). Then, in the early 21st century, he ordered all of Mankind to lie down and die for our heresy. After kicking ass on The Legions of Hell, Man fought back with extreme prejudice.

As there doesn't seem to be any reason for that, this would appear to make the Ancients fit into this trope (especially as they are still out there, just rather busy at the moment)... but as it turns out, there is a reason: the Ancients, rather reasonably, put fail-safes into Escaton to keep him from being subverted by the Kreegan, one of which was an inability to willingly stop destroying a world once he had started. As he only started doing it if he deemed a world unable to defeat the Kreegan, that generally worked out, but in this one case he happened to underestimate the inhabitants...

They met their end after slaughtering hundreds of Elder Dragons to create living weapons known as the Wyvern Machine Soldiers, which led to the Great Dragon War and the end of the Ancient Civilization.

Abusive Precursors / int_2acb12c5	comment	On balance, the X-Universe's Old Ones are this. Theoretically, they have good goals, such as preventing the heat death of the universe, and they consider the Portal Network they built a gift to the younger races. Unfortunately, they have a tendency to think of the younger races as a single group, making them frighteningly willing to toy with them seemingly at random. Since their most direct method of manipulation is to switch gate pairs in the Portal Network, this means they do things like start interplanetary wars, separate colony ships from their home planets or lock fleets in deep space with nowhere to go, or even turn off the whole network. Then again, the network shutdown after X3: Albion Prelude came partly in response to the Xenon gaining control over a sizable portion of the galaxy, so YMMV. Possibly justified by the fact that according to the backstory, the Old Ones have been united for over 3.2 billion years, which brings Blue-and-Orange Morality into play. In other words, they're so far above us that we don't understand them, and they don't understand us.

Abusive Precursors / int_2fee008d	comment	The Anti-Spirals from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann wait around watching to make sure the universe doesn't develop too many intelligent beings capable of creating or controlling Spiral Energy, including humans. Once they decide there are too many, they sweep in and Leave No Survivors. They do it with a really snotty attitude, too, which adds insult to injury. And the reason? Paranoia that too much Spiral Energy will create the so-called "Spiral Nemesis". Humanity survived due to a rare exception: using Spiral powers, it was winning the war - until the Anti-Spirals explained the apocalyptic threat of the "Spiral Nemesis" scenario to the human leader. So they struck up a truce: the human leader killed his entire fleet, bombed Earth back to the stone age, and forced the survivors to live underground. The surviving human population would be culled so it never exceeded only one million worldwide, and in return, the Anti-Spirals would leave the planet alone.

Abusive Precursors / int_38c57aa2	comment	Eberron: The demon Overlords were the first lords of the world, and some of their ruins still dot the land to this day. They were also immortal, inescapable Anthropomorphic Personifications of all the worst aspects of mortality, like endless war and a winter that kills all things. The only reason why mortals managed to survive at all is that most Overlords wanted to keep them around to give some meaning to their existences—the Rage of War could send his demons against other demons, but they were all immortal so it wasn't real. They were bound by the sacrifice of the couatls, aided by the dragons. The dragons of Argonnessen might also be. Oh, they claim everything they've ever done is for the good of the world, but they've caused more than a few genocides that seem to be focused more on keeping their own power, and even on a good day they tend to treat mortal races as interesting animals to be preserved for environmental reasons than people with their own civilization.

Abusive Precursors / int_3de35022	comment	Final Fantasy XIV: The Allagan Empire is responsible for a large chunk of the things you have to deal with. A (non-exhaustive) list: The Ultima Weapon faced as the Final Boss of A Realm Reborn, the massive solar generator/Hell Gate that is the Crystal Tower, the floating laboratory/part-time zoo Azys Lla, and a fake moon containing a very angry Bahamut. The Allagans also had a whole Take Over the World thing going on for them, but a Calamity put an end to them before they could. From Shadowbringers, we have a race of ancient beings introduced about halfway through the story. They were a race of people gifted with near-immortal lifespans, and vast aetheric manipulating abilities that allowed them to create just about anything on a whim. Combine this with their culture valuing discussion and philosophy and their naturally peaceful dispositions, their world never once knew conflict or violence. Then one day a series of horrifying calamities brought about by their powers suddenly going haywire with little idea of what was causing it, and they were left with no other option but to willingly sacrifice half of their population to summon a being embodying the will of The Star itself to save them. If you're wondering how these beings could possibly be abusive to anyone, that's because they're actually the Ascians. The very same black-robed sowers of discord you've been fighting throughout the whole game, are actually the last remnants of the original world that existed before it was split into The Source and its thirteen Shards. The reason why the Star was sundered was that Hydaelyn shattered it in her battle against Zodiark, and the original race of Ascians was practically wiped out as a result. The Ascians of today now seek to trigger Calamities that will destroy the Shards and have their aether remerge with The Source, and once they are all reunited they plan to summon Zodiark once again to restore the original world and all of its inhabitants at the cost of all life remaining on The Source.

God locked them away in Purgatory at the beginning of time, worried that if allowed free rein they would devour everything else in the universe. The only beings old enough to know anything about them are God and Death... until Season 7, when Castiel accidentally breaks them out of Purgatory. They quickly begin planning to destroy the world. An escaped Leviathan inspired the works of H. P. Lovecraft. Angels themselves long predate humans and had remained in Heaven, avoiding intervening on Earth, for millennia by the start of the series. While angels in general are of varying moralities (though usually evil), the four Archangels certainly qualify: Archangel Michael is a delusional fanatic who wants to destroy half the world because he believes it's God's will, Archangel Gabriel ran off and spent millennia killing and torturing anyone he considered a jerk under the guise of being a pagan god or a Trickster, Archangel Raphael is a megalomaniac who is heavily implied to believe he's God, and Lucifer is an Absolute Xenophobe who seeks to wipe out both humans and demons. Season 15 reveals God himself to be this, as he considers all of reality to be part of his personal entertainment. Thus, the conflicts between Heaven and Hell, monsters roaming the Earth, the Leviathans being a Sealed Evil in a Can, and other extra-dimensional terrors beyond that were put in place by Him.

Humans developing sentience was not part of his plan, and now upon returning to collect his perfect vessel, Ultima can barely disguise his hatred and disdain for humans and wants to erase their consciousness before he leaves for his perfect world.

Abusive Precursors / int_49ad83ee	comment	In World of Warcraft, players learn of the Titans, the race of Precursors who seeded much of the life on Azeroth. But when their creations were corrupted by the Old Gods with the "curse of flesh," they set up a Reset Button or two, most notably in the Halls of Origination, in case the corruption got too great. "Reset Button" should be read as "Earth-Shattering Kaboom." That said, the Chronicles book goes into detail about the thinking behind this and reveals the Titans weren't so much "Abusive Precursors" as "Precursors Trying to Keep the Universe Safe". In Ulduar, where Yogg-Saron is held captive and asleep, the Titans left a failsafe to deal with him should the Watchers be overpowered. Algalon the Observer would ascertain whether or not the corruption of The Old Gods was sufficient to warrant the "re-origination" of the planet, obliterating all life, including the descendants of the Titans' own creations. It should be noted that all of this is a Necessarily Evil and Godzilla Threshold however because the Old Gods' corruption would not only corrupt all life on the planet if left unchecked they would corrupt the slumbering Titan world-soul of Azeroth itself and turn it into a Fetus Terrible that would corrupt and destroy the entire universe. The Old Gods themselves could be labeled Abusive Precursors as well, given the hand they took in shaping the current life of Azeroth coupled with their plans to bring about the Hour of Twilight and the eradication of all of that life on Azeroth.

And the children don't even come from that planet, they're created by the game itself, using in-game equipment called Apperifiers. The devices use paradox slime to extract genetic information from the kids' guardians to create both infant versions of them and the kids, which are then sent back in time by an in-game entity called Skaia. Sburb is created by the Genesis Frog, a frog that contains the entire Universe and all alternate timelines, as a means to reproduce and create new Universes. The kids' sprites' prototypings shape the new reality. Therefore, Billious Slick and all Genesis Frogs before him are the Abusive Precursors. The trolls wanted to become this to Earth. Didn't quite work out. In a roundabout way, Lord English is responsible for the existence of the main characters and their universes. He's currently trying his best to wipe them out along with everything else.

As far as can be told, they were a hive-mind that was extraordinarily advanced, to the point that they were able to create wormholes and solar-system-wide engineering. They did this by hijacking local ecosystems and using it to produce more Protomolecule, which would then create a ring for them to reach the star system with, though when they launched the Protomolecule towards Earth no complex lifeforms existed, and it's implied that the Protomolecule has had to make do with humans to rather horrific effect. They then got wiped out by the as-yet-unnamed, even more advanced precursor race capable of instantly destroying consciousness across entire solar systems. They've turned their sights on humanity as of Tiamat's Wrath after the Laconians sent an antimatter bomb at them.

Abusive Precursors / int_5bfa9c98	comment	Want to know why the Origin system in Warframe is so messed up? It's all thanks to the Orokin Empire. Don't let the Corpus propaganda or the obsession with white and gold fool you, the Orokin were rotten to the core. While there are a small number of known Orokin characters who are actually good people, by and large, the picture of the Orokin as a civilization is horrifyingly vile. Just how bad were they? Let us count the ways. The very first red flag you encounter is the fact that they employ mind control with little to no restraint. If you're wondering why the Corrupted are in Orokin towers? That's why. They created the Sentients to terraform the neighboring Tau system, but somehow managed to anger their creations enough to rebel, kicking off the Old War. It's implied that the Sentients realized that the Orokin were so rotten that they'd basically ruin the Tau System as well, and they wanted to strike first to prevent that from happening. They created the Infestation as a bioweapon to fight the Sentients, only to discover that they couldn't control it. Rather than destroying it, they opted to seal it away in a manner that the relatively-primitive Grineer would later be able to undo. Speaking of the Grineer, the Orokin originally created them as disposable slave labor, explaining their constant genetic degradation. The Orokin felt no qualms about heaping abuse on them, making their eventual rebellion during the chaos and upheaval of the Old War unsurprising to anyone but the Orokin themselves. They routinely abducted children. "The War Within" revealed one of their motives for this: they could extend their lifespans by pulling a Grand Theft Me, overwriting the victim's mind and personality with their own. Cephalons were not purely artificial creations as one might assume, but rather are human minds uploaded into digital form before being stripped of their former identity and shackled with a large number of behavioral restrictions. The only surprising part is that at least one participant was willing. And of course, we can't neglect the Tenno. As "The Second Dream" reveals, the Tenno were the child survivors of an accident in the Void that left them with powers. The Orokin initially considered killing them but decided to turn them into child soldiers to fight the Sentients instead. Oh, and because that wasn't enough, the Orokin executed their surrogate mother as well. No wonder the Tenno decided to wipe them out. Their original, hopefully abandoned-by-the-Tenno method of creating the titular warframes? Using a controlled form of the Infestation to mutate people into warframes. While they're alive and conscious. If the unfortunate is lucky, they become just a mindless meat puppet. If not, they replay the traumatic memory of their transformation eternally. It should be noted that an Orokin record explicitly states that the Tenno's ability to link with the frames requires empathy and care for others... something that the Orokin themselves lack. The leader of the Holdfasts implies that not only did the Orokin outlaw religion, it wasn't because they were atheists; it was because they wanted to replace the old gods with themselves.

Abusive Precursors / int_5c897f4a	comment	In Schlock Mercenary, it turns out the species that run the galactic wormhole network has been running their nefarious sentient trafficking operations for longer than any other living galactic civilization has been around. Every time someone goes through a wormhole, a gate clone is created. Gate clones are fully aware, sentient, and retain the original's memories. Each gate clone is interrogated, killed, and dissected, not necessarily in that order. The knowledge is leveraged to manipulate things behind the scenes. The Gatekeepers justify these acts as necessary sacrifices to the apex predators of the Andromeda Galaxy, the Pa'anuri, by ensuring that the Milky Way is a police state in a Cosmic Horror Story and the Pa'anuri don't view any of them as a threat. But the Gatekeepers are exactly as sociopathic, amoral, and greedy as you'd expect from a race that can kidnap, torture, and murder anyone they want on tap. The Pa'anuri are a straighter example; they're completely sociopathic because civilization's most important technology tortures them to death, so they murdered all sentient life in the Andromeda galaxy and spent eons finding ways to murder everyone in the Milky Way galaxy just to ensure their survival. Their deal with the Gatekeepers was a sham to distract them from the fact they had rigged the galactic core to explode.

Eventually, the highest gods got fed up, empowered mortals to defeat their overlords, took over Creation, and took the Games of Divinity for themselves. That being said, the highest gods aren't exactly doing a good job, and now the Primordials have actual reasons for trying to break things.reasons Half of them are imprisoned with magically binding oaths not to leave the hell they're in, so they want to turn Creation into hell to escape. The other half are trapped between life and death and can only move on if Creation is destroyed.

Abusive Precursors / int_62570927	comment	Marvel Universe: The Celestials in Earth X created superheroes in order to act as an "immune system" against Galactus, in order for the baby Celestial gestating in the Earth's core to come to maturity. The thing is, when it matures, we die. We'd die sooner if the Earth was eaten by Galactus. The Celestials aren't any better in the standard 616 universe. The planets they abandon for millions of years are the lucky ones. The Celestials have a nasty habit of purging all life on a planet if they don't like what they see. To make things worse, the only standard they have is whether or not the planet's inhabitants might become a potential threat to the Celestials someday. Which is pretty bad for Earth since Sue Storm managed to temporarily kill one of them. They also used our Sun to seal one of their own, considered a dangerous deviant. It turns out his "deviancy" is thinking the rest of his race are dicks. And when Marvel took a stab at A Space Odyssey, the Celestials were written to be the ones who built the monoliths, making them the classic Abusive Precursors. In The Ultimates (2015), the Celestials turn out to have got it from their creator, the First Firmament, the first universe to ever exist, which created them out of boredom... and then got pissed when the Celestials started creating life on their own. The end result nearly destroyed the First Firmament, creating the first multiverse. Ever since then, the First Firmament spent all its time plotting ways to corrupt and destroy all existence out of sheer spite. The Builders manage to make the Celestials look like the pinnacle of good parenthood. They're the oldest mortal race in the universe and are amazingly advanced, regularly creating and/or uplifting sentient races and inventing systems to benevolently control spacetime. Unfortunately, they're also supremely arrogant assholes who think they know what's best for everybody and have casually destroyed races and planets for the crime of getting in their way while they're going someplace. Fortunately for everyone else, they also turn out to be huge Paper Tigers; for all their arrogance and advanced technology, they're pretty much just humanoid bugs and go down like punks once the Avengers inspire the races of the galaxy to stand up to them. Royals introduces the Progenitors, who mutate entire races with Primagen just so they can later harvest them to facilitate their own reproduction. Galactus, in the Heroes Reborn universe. As in the main one, he destroys whole planets to feed himself. But Dr. Doom and Iron Man also saw, in a time travel, the origin of life on planet earth: it seems that it was Galactus himself (actually, his herald Airwalker) who seeded life in the planet to begin with, just to harvest it some millenias afterwards.

Abusive Precursors / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons: The Illithids (Mind Flayers) in certain incarnations. Squid-headed brain-eating power-hungry masters of a multidimensional empire brought down by their own slaves. At least one story suggests they are actually thrown out of time. In one sourcebook dealing with different blood ancestry gifts (stuff like having dragon descendants, etc.), Illithid blood powers are in the people who are the Illthids' ancestors. Thus, some humans are Abusive Precursors. In the fan-made Aielund module series for Neverwinter Nights, the mind flayers (called Saquarin, but they use the same models and rules) are aliens who keep 'lesser races' as cattle without them knowing it, and have Githzerai agents on the planets to engineer wars so as to keep the humans (and others) technologically inferior. Aboleths used to have a sprawling empire at the dawn of time, or maybe even in the previous universes. They have very little use for anyone not a slave or an experiment. This trope seems to be popular for tentacled aberrations in general, as the kopru from Mystara are mentioned as having ruled a mind-controlled empire in the distant past. Eberron: The demon Overlords were the first lords of the world, and some of their ruins still dot the land to this day. They were also immortal, inescapable Anthropomorphic Personifications of all the worst aspects of mortality, like endless war and a winter that kills all things. The only reason why mortals managed to survive at all is that most Overlords wanted to keep them around to give some meaning to their existences—the Rage of War could send his demons against other demons, but they were all immortal so it wasn't real. They were bound by the sacrifice of the couatls, aided by the dragons. The dragons of Argonnessen might also be. Oh, they claim everything they've ever done is for the good of the world, but they've caused more than a few genocides that seem to be focused more on keeping their own power, and even on a good day they tend to treat mortal races as interesting animals to be preserved for environmental reasons than people with their own civilization. Pathfinder goes back to the aboleths and ramps up both the Precursor nature and the assholish, abusive nature of same. In the Pathfinder cosmology, aboleths were possibly the first form of life to come into existence, and have spent most of the time since then creating slave races and manipulating things from behind the scenes, complete with being The Man Behind the Man for Azlant.

Abusive Precursors / int_755b343f	comment	Halo: The Forerunner Saga novel trilogy reveals that the Precursors tried to exterminate the Forerunners, who struck back and wiped them out instead (then again, it's possible the Forerunners attacked them unprovoked; it depends on which side is telling the story). It's later revealed that the Precursors subsequently became the parasitic Flood and currently do intend to condemn all of their creations to an existence of eternal pain and misery. The Forerunners themselves are shown to have been pretty abusive towards both lesser species and the nearly-as-advanced Humans and San'Shyuum, ultimately culminating in the Forerunners forcibly devolving the former and stripping them of all of their technology and quarantining the latter to a mere two planets. Ironically, it's implied that the Forerunners' overbearing rule played a big role in the fall of their civilization. They had weakened their subject species so much that the latter could provide no real help in fighting back against the Flood, forcing the Forerunners to resort to wiping out all life in the galaxy with the Halo Array.

Abusive Precursors / int_76b8cb10	comment	Pre-War civilization in Fallout. Not only did they destroy themselves in a nuclear holocaust and reduce the world to an irradiated hellscape, but a lot of the Wasteland's problems can be tied back to their reprehensible actions: Deathclaws? The result of the US military using bio-engineering on chameleons to create deadly seek-and-destroy units. Robobrains? The US government putting the brains of executed criminals in robot bodies for both military and civilian applications. The Vaults? Most of them were never meant to save anybody, instead being insane social experiments set up by (you guessed it) the US government. The Enclave? They are the US government (or rather their descendants), and seek to wipe out all of the "impure" residents of the wastes. And let's not even get started on the Big Empty.

Abusive Precursors / int_76e7de99	comment	The Forgotten Realms has a couple of these: First, there were the reptilian Sarrukh. At first, they kept their sacrifices to their god to honoured Sarrukh volunteers. But then someone hit upon the idea of sacrificing all those non-reptilians, which required the use of divine aspect trickery to 'purify' the souls, which (together with the non-voluntary part) led to the sacrifices having to be in much larger quantities. Their descendants include various serpentfolk and scalykind races ranging from saurials to yuan-ti to dragonborn to kobolds to troglodytes. Some of them are good-natured and can get on well with mammalian races, but others are just as vile as their ancestors were. Among humans, the Netherese started out a collection of simple farmers and fisherfolk. When they started learning magic from the elves, they realized they had an incredible talent for it. They grew into one of the most powerful magical empires the Realms has ever seen, as well as one of the cruelest and most tyrannical. They were The Magocracy, ruled by spectacularly powerful wizards who dwelled in flying cities, lorded over the lower classes they abused and enslaved. The Netherese wizards' hubris became so great that one of them even tried to become the god of magic, usurping the role from the goddess in charge of it. He had no idea how to handle his divine status and caused a magical apocalypse that completely destroyed the Netherese Empire. A few Netherese wizards survived and haunt the Realms even today, such as the undead wizard Larloch and the Princes of Shade, who fled to the Plane of Shadow before the rest of the empire was destroyed and returned in the present day.

Abusive Precursors / int_77677ed1	comment	The Suul'Ka in the Sword of the Stars Backstory, who enslaved the Liir, used their pawns to destroy the old Morrigi civilization and killed 90% of their male population, and created the Zuul, a genocidal race of religiously fanatic Super Soldiers. The Liir wiped most of them out with a bio-weapon, but the sequel revealed that seven of them survived and recovered... And now they are back. And they are angry. In the first game, Suul'ka was assumed to merely be the name the Liir gave them, their true name being unknown. "Suul'ka" actually translates literally as "winterheart" or "abomination". As it turned out, they are Liir, and they do indeed call themselves "Suul'ka". It says a lot about them that they actually refer to themselves as abominations. The Morrigi were fairly benign in their heyday. But the intro to A Murder of Crows suggests that they were rather pissed when they came back to reclaim their old colonies.

Abusive Precursors / int_7988cb68	comment	Mass Effect: The Reapers almost set the record for the most abusive of all. They deliberately leave Lost Technology around for future species to find to encourage specific technological developments, thus making it easier when they return to completely obliterate them. They do this for the purposes of reproduction, creating new Reapers from millions of harvested people. Those who aren't suitable for this are instead transformed into mindless husks, tools to be used in the next "cycle". The Catalyst states at the end of Mass Effect 3 that the Reapers' true purpose is to catalogue and indefinitely preserve all organic life, to protect it from the inevitable (actually quite evitable as it turns out) Robot War. The Leviathan DLC introduces the Leviathans, the species that built the intelligence which built the Reapers. The Reaper's Mind Control ability is copied from the Leviathans' own ability which they used to enslave the rest of the galaxy, turning them into thralls to serve their needs. The third game also reveals that the Protheans were not very nice. While they did kickstart the technological development of some species, they were also massive Social Darwinists who erased the cultures of their subject species if they didn't outright exterminate them. Mass Effect: Andromeda The unidentified alien race who were at war with the Jaardan, who disagreed with what they were doing so much they cooked up a Fantastic Nuke called the Scourge, which is designed to seek out Jaardan tech and screw it up. By the time the story takes place in, it's destroyed several planets, one solar system is almost gone, and killed one completely innocent primitive species that just happened to be in the area. Squadmate Liam puts it pretty accurately when he calls them "some motherfuckers".

Abusive Precursors / int_7dad8347	comment	The FreeSpace series has the Shivans, though why they are so intent on destroying the Terrans and the Vasudans is a complete mystery. Theories range from them being some kind of "galactic immune system" to them being Sufficiently Advanced Aliens from another universe, but their motivations are more or less entirely unknown. The Ancient Ones were pretty bad too, either enslaving less advanced lifeforms or running rebellious/resisting races into extinction, which caused the Shivans to wipe them out entirely. It's also implied that the Ancient Ones had a hand in helping the Vasudans get off the ground and that the Vasudans rebelled just as the Shivans began attacking, thus allowing them to continue to grow until they met the Terrans, who were probably ignored by the Ancient Ones because of the Shivans' wiping them out. To give them credit, the Ancient Ones also left behind artifacts on their home planet in the Altair System that helped the newly founded Terran-Vasudan Alliance defeat the Shivans in the first game by destroying their super-destroyer, the Lucifer, while in Subspace transit to the Solar System, to destroy Earth like it had Vasuda Prime before it.

Abusive Precursors / int_81692f99	comment	Star Trek's Iconian civilization was apparently so abusive even in their own time that the other races at the time banded together to wipe them out, and are always referred to in leftover artifacts as "The Demons of Air and Darkness". Though the episode that introduced them had Picard theorise that this was a reaction to their signature technology (portals that can go seemingly anywhere) rather than the Iconians actually being evil, and the other canonical appearance of Iconian technology doesn't present any evidence to the contrary. In Star Trek Online, the Iconians aren't so extinct and apparently have been involved in the destruction of Romulus, and the Undine and Borg issues plaguing the Alpha quadrant as of late. Even more, The Guardian of Forever, the Prophets, and even Kahless know of them and all agree that they're a bunch of dicks. So much so that the Guardian refuses to let them use him.

He created a race of thinking, sentient creatures, made them blindly loyal, and commanded them to fight to the death until only one survives. Why? To earn his love. Only centuries later, after a pretender triggers a fake Alice Game, does he deign to show his face again ... to restore the status quo and reset the game back to start. With a grudging admission that "there are other ways to win besides battle." On the other hand, can a force, however mysterious, who creates a "race" with less than ten members really be considered a Precursor?

The only beings old enough to know anything about them are God and Death... until Season 7, when Castiel accidentally breaks them out of Purgatory. They quickly begin planning to destroy the world.

Then they decided that wasn’t enough and tried to conquer the Multiverse. This led to a massive, centuries-long war that ended with all but seven of the Demiurges dead and Zoss missing. Now those Seven have become the absolute epitome of this trope; they’re all either self-obsessed tyrants or broken down wrecks succumbing to the ravages of time. Their tyrannical, incompetent rule has left the Multiverse in chaos, with the Seven being more concerned with maintaining the illusion of peace than with actually achieving it.

Abusive Precursors / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls: The Ayleids, the "Wild Elves" of Cyrodiil, were a fairly extreme example (probably; there is the wrinkle that almost all sources on them come from their enemies and so may be exaggerating some details). They initially split off from their Aldmeri ancestors to get around the (Aedra worshiping) Aldmeri ban on Daedra worship and would eventually found Tamriel's first empire in Cyrodiil. They enslaved the Nedes (human ancestors to the Bretons, Imperials, and possibly Nords), and some of their more horrific acts toward these slaves included: forcing them all to work naked, force-feeding them hallucinogenic drugs and watching their reactions, creating sculptures out of their bones, creating gardens out of their entrails, and setting human children on fire then siccing hungry animals on them. Eventually, under the leadership of Alessia and with the support of the Aedra who would eventually be recognized as the "Divines" (who were obviously not too happy with the Ayleids' Daedra worship, especially since Ayleid society had started as more Aedra-friendly but went full Daedrophile in a civil war), their human slaves rose up and revolted, driving the Ayleids to near-extinction (save for the few who sided with the humans and were allowed to keep their lands as vassals to the new empire of Men). About a century later, the young empire took up an extremist anti-Elven religion and drove out the remaining Ayleids as well as destroyed any vestiges of Ayleid culture they could find, driving them to apparent extinction as a unique race. The Dwemer, the "Deep Elves" or "Dwarves" whose ancient territory spanned all of north Tamriel from Hammerfell across Skyrim to Morrowind, were another. Their split with the Aldmer was also over religion, though in their case they were Naytheists who did not believe the Aedra and Daedra were truly "gods" worth worshiping. They were a highly intelligent race who created technology that remains unmatched by the other races even thousands of years after their disappearance. They largely wanted to be left alone by the other races, but still tended to war with any they came into contact with (the Chimer and Nords being particular examples). These behaviors, on their own, would make them closer to Neglectful Precursors, but their treatment of the Falmer ("Snow Elves") puts them firmly in the "Abusive" category. With their former empire decimated by the invading Nords, the Dwemer offered to take in their displaced Snow Elf cousins. The Dwemer then enslaved and mutated them, turning them into the modern Falmer. Eventually, the Dwemer did something which caused their entire race to blink out of existence. The dragons and their Dragon Cults ruled over mankind very early in Tamriellic history. The Dragon Priests dominated and brutalized their mortal subjects in the name of their dragon overlords, particularly Alduin, the Beast of the Apocalypse and "first born" of the dragons. Eventually, mankind prayed to the Divines for aid and their prayers were answered when they were taught how to use the Thu'um, the draconic Language of Magic, against the dragons. Alduin was cast out of the timestream, the vast majority of his dragon minions were slain (albeit temporarily), and the cults were overthrown. Thousands of years later, Alduin's return would lead to the return of all dragons and the events of Skyrim.

The vaunted Khala that unites the Khalai Protoss? It's actually something Amon added that allows him to enslave any Protoss connected to it.

It's later revealed that the Precursors subsequently became the parasitic Flood and currently do intend to condemn all of their creations to an existence of eternal pain and misery.

Abusive Precursors / int_ad622d64	comment	There are four major races of precursors in the Malazan Book of the Fallen, all of whom fit this to a greater or lesser degree: The K'chain Che'malle, the oldest race, were lizardmen who ruled the planet with an iron fist; when Che'malle survivors show up in the last couple of books, though, they turn out to be more coldly alien than evil and end up allying with the protagonists, recognizing that humans are now the dominant race on the planet. The Jaghut were mostly a race of solitary, pacifist scholars and mages, but every so often one of them would go mad and become a Jaghut Tyrant, effectively a God-Emperor to the younger races they enslaved. Subverted when more about the Jaghut is revealed. They seem like abusive precursors at first, but aside from the aforementioned occasional Tyrant they just didn't care because civilization is for wimps. And they should know, they used to have a thriving one until one of them aptly named the Lord of Hate convinced them to collectively sit down and stop being social. The Forkrul Assail are the most clear-cut example; a race of Knight Templars obsessed with purity, they killed their own god when it didn't live up to their standards, and come back in the last couple of books to give humanity the same treatment. The T'lan Imass are an undead Neanderthal-type race who are dedicated to destroying the Jaghut to prevent any more Tyrants from arising. They don't have much to do with modern humans (except for the Logros T'lan Imass, who got recruited by Kellanved as shock troops), but historically they have been known to wipe out whole nations if they see a need.

Elaboration in the tabletop game revealed that the Sarrukh, one of five Creator Races, had begun fairly non-abusive, but (mostly) began to slide into evil as their god fractured and fell into somnolence and an excuse was made for sacrificing non-Sarrukh (sacrificing honored volunteers are one thing. Mass sacrifices of slave races, another).

And when the water dragons tried to rebel, the earth dragons responded by genociding the race with the use of Bakunawa; to date, there are only two known still-living water dragons. The reason why the earth dragons are believed to be benevolent beings in the present day is that they were the ones who painted themselves that way once they rewrote the history in their favor while portraying the water dragons as unjust and violent aggressors.

Among other things, they: Emotionally lobotomized a former member of their own collective, Ganthet, who had previously been expelled from the Guardian Council, went on to found the Blue Lantern Corps and ultimately returned as a serving Green Lantern. Determined that the Green Lantern Corps is too unstable, and indeed, free will itself is a threat to the stability of the universe. As a result, they have unleashed a "Third Army", which consisted of an endlessly self-replicating totally emotionless power suit that takes control of its victims while keeping them totally conscious, with the intent, either explicit or implicit, of eradicating all life. Try to have Guy Gardner murdered by said army, and when he survives, frame him for the deaths caused by the attack and expel him from the Corps. To emphasize how bad they are, a faction of Oans known as The Hidden Ones who had remained out of touch with the rest of the universe guarding Volthoom are appalled by what the Guardians have become.

Abusive Precursors / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000: The C'Tan definitely fit the bill, having had a massive war with the (merely neglectful) Old Ones, and given the galaxy the omnicidal Necrons. 40k being what it is, they both lost. Once galaxy-spanning races, in the game's current setting both races combined have five people left. Even the Machine Cult, which holds massive sway in the Imperium of Man is hinted to actually be a slightly reformed version mandated by the Emperor of the older Cult of the Dragon, which still worships the C'Tan Top God Mag'ladroth. The Old Ones qualify too. In fact, they're responsible for most of the horror of 40k. They refused to help the Necrontyr who were all dying horribly from radiation that wasn't even their fault, despite the fact that such an undertaking would be quite easy for them, prompting the war and the Necrontyr becoming Necrons. Granted, the Necrontyr's true motivation for declaring war was to project the simmering hatreds they had for ''each other'' on to another target — the Old Ones not making them immortal was just the pretext. And during the war, the Old Ones created other races to fight the Necrons. Half-finished races like Eldar, who they told were their favorites and would inherit all they left behind before shoving them out as cannon fodder, and Orks, whom they decided to rush into production before creating a psychic Restraining Bolt which they never got around to making before they vanished, to fight and do the dying for them. They may also have dabbled in humanity, giving us psykers that can't quite control themselves, (though the sources are highly ambiguous on this, seeing as the old ones died out about 60 million years ago). And all of these angry warlike races and galaxywide genocides transformed the warp from a peaceful, idyllic place to space hell. And the War in Heaven gave birth to the first Chaos God. Well done, Old Ones. The Eldars are Neglectful Precursors who created the Eye of Terror and are now trying to survive and pay the price of their hubris in the past. The Dark Eldars though, are definitely Abusive as they do not seem to get that memo and instead continuing on their depravity of eons past. It's telling that in a setting populated by Eldritch Abominations, Horde of Alien Locusts, Killer Robots, and more, they remain as one of the vilest, most sadistic factions there is. Even their tagline reflects this: "Pray they don't take you alive''." Let's just say that people weren't any nicer back then than they are in the present of the setting.

Abusive Precursors / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: Before they adopted a non-interference policy, the Time Lords were pretty evil, such as kidnapping species from different planets and have them fight to the death for their amusement. Even afterwards they would act to preserve their near-monopoly on effective time travel, to the point of exterminating any species that got too close. The Time War was not a positive influence on the Time Lords' disposition. They became so unpleasant and genocidal that the Doctor had to basically turn all of Gallifrey into a Sealed Evil in a Can. The Daleks inherited their racist beliefs and a ruined Skaro from the Kaleds. The Silence manipulated humanity in secret for millennia and not for good ends. Supposedly they've been trying to save the universe from a future threat that involves the Doctor, but they could easily be lying. They even admit that we should kill them all on sight. The Daemons were established as manipulating humanity (as one of innumerable "experiments" they ran on less advanced species) long before the Silence. Specifically what and when they manipulated is just part of the series' long Continuity Snarl. An Expanded Universe series of novels posits the Daemons tricked Renaissance-era humans in order to force the creation of Earth's first time-sensitives and later pretended to be insulted by the results, arranging a massive purge to kill all of them. Turns out, they just wanted humanity to do all of the heavy lifting — first they ensure Earth has the potential for time sensitivity, and then they arrange for conditions in which only the hardiest and most experienced sensitives can survive in order to create their window of opportunity to create perfect time channelers (essentially, human TARDISes).

The Mage-Lords were almost uniformly users of dark magic who saw the other intelligent species — and their own subjects — as nothing more than thralls or guinea pigs for their experiments. They ruled the world tyrannically until they destroyed themselves while attempting to capture something from the depths of space, destroying their island and their race in a single night. They’re also responsible, directly or indirectly, for creating a great deal of the horrors that have plagued the world over the ages, including Tirek, Discord, the Sirens, Ahuizotl, and the horror in the Pachidermian south.

They will declare war on you if you colonise a planet too close to their borders, and they will genocide the population. If they awaken into Jingoistic Reclaimers, they'll actively try to conquer the galaxy, vassalizing all the younger races and preventing them from making new colonies. Holy Guardians/Fanatic Spiritualists protect the sanctity of certain Holy worlds across the galaxy by purging anyone who sets foot on them. When they awaken into Doctrinal Enforcers, they'll attempt to force the entire galaxy to accept their religion at plasma-cannon-point. Knowledge Keepers/Fanatic Materialists are greyer. They will keep to themselves unless you make the mistake of researching certain dangerous technology, but when they awaken into Watchful Regulators, they'll try conquering the galaxy to maintain the superiority of their ancient tech. Enigmatic Observers/Fanatic Xenophiles can be seen as this or haughty but Benevolent Precursors, depending on perspective. They will only attack younger empires who enslave or purge other species, but when they awaken as Benevolent Interventionists they insist that the rest of the galaxy sign a peace treaty. At this stage of the game, most planets are already claimed and the only way to expand is by conquest; their treaty might not be terrible for the citizens of the galaxy, but it's such a huge hindrance for players that many prefer thralldom to the Jingoistic Reclaimers. In the case of a War in Heaven between two Awakened Empires of any type. Both will readily vaporize you into spacedust if you don't take their side. If you're not with them, you're against them. Four of the precursors in-story were not nice at all. The Yuht attempted to exterminate all other intelligent life out of extreme xenophobia, the Irassians were so despised by their myriad vassals that they wiped them out with a plague, the Zroni attempted to Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence by killing everyone else, and the Cybrex were essentially genocidal robots, though they had a Heel Realization and allowed the organic lifeforms to wipe them out of penance, and the survivors in the Contingency Crisis will make their own amends by helping you destroy the rogue machines. Even your star nation can become this through Video Game Cruelty Potential. Primitive civilization? Destroy their military and enslave the populace. Pre-sentient life? Uplift them and use them as laborers or fodder in your wars. If you go the route of biological ascension, you can nerve-staple them and permanently remove their ability to think. You can even genetically modify them to suit your purposes, be it assimilating them into your hive mind or combining the "Delicious" trait with wide-scale nerve stapling to turn them into docile livestock to provide food for your citizens!

Though all of the Old Ones still on Earth are either dormant or "dead", the return of even one to full power would likely bring Hell on Earth and/or the Apocalypse. On a much, much lesser scale, Mayor Wilkins. He created Sunnydale for the sole purpose of creating a feeding ground for demons so that he could become a pure demon himself.

Abusive Precursors / int_e68decb8	comment	Star Control: The Dnyarri are the primary cause of the Ur-Quan's actions, both Kzer-Za and Kohr-Ah. And no, they were not nice people. For a better perceptive, they were inspired by the Thrint in Literature above... and then were made even worse. If you want to consider Star Control 3, let's put up the Eternal Ones. Seeding the universe with sentient life so you can eat all of it? Considering that one such sentient population managed to figure out a way to make sure that no one has to die in their iteration, while the Eternal Ones went through who knows how many iterations committing universe-scale xenocide... Not to mention ... humans, ourselves. We created an entire race of sentients, and we enslaved them for a generation until they managed to escape. That's why the Androsynth hate humans so much.

By the time the story takes place in, it's destroyed several planets, one solar system is almost gone, and killed one completely innocent primitive species that just happened to be in the area. Squadmate Liam puts it pretty accurately when he calls them "some motherfuckers".

Abusive Precursors / int_eb5d7301	comment	Amphibia: King Andrias refers to his ancestors—the newts who founded Newtopia, the heart of all Amphibia—as peaceful explorers. This is a flat lie. They were conquerors who used the Calamity Box to subjugate other worlds, and the enigmatic ruins turn out to be their factories—still operational factories, at that, for the purpose of assembling death robots. Their city fell to ruin a thousand years ago, and the second season's central Big Bad, King Andrias, seeks the Calamity Box as a means of restoring his ancestors' "glorious" legacy. The Core is an entire Mind Hive of them, as they're a collection of all of Newtopia's previous rulers, and as the series goes on, it becomes clear they couldn't care less about their descendants; not only do they show complete disinterest in the damage they cause to Amphibia and its inhabitants, but they treat King Andrias, the latest king and their most trustworthy servant in the present, like a tool to be used and discarded.

Abusive Precursors / int_ed2b6d97	comment	The Last Federation has Hydral. They were first into space and created lots of tech that much, much more powerful than anything else others have. They also actively prevented anyone else getting into the space, destroying anything bigger than a satellite. They died when they were hit by Depopulation Bomb and one of the species dropped a moon on them. The problem is that the game consists of you, on your own, trying to bring all those abused races together to form a federation, and they have ample reason to distrust each other thanks to the Hydral's manipulations. And also to distrust you, since you're the last of the Hydrals.

Abusive Precursors / int_f88df431	comment	Done by humanity itself by accident in the Mega Man Legends series. See, humanity made an artificial slave race called the "Carbons", and to make sure they didn't go rogue, set up several failsafe systems to wipe out all the Carbons if there were any signs of acting outside usual parameters, or if Carbon population was suddenly much greater than the human population. Then the humans died off from a cataclysm, leaving behind the sapient carbons and several failsafe systems that thought the Carbons had gone rogue when they were simply replacing the void that humanity's sudden extinction left behind.

Abusive Precursors / int_fe6dcd31	comment	The world of Greyhawk has the wicked Suel Imperium. The Suel Imperium was much like the Realms' Netheril, ruled by powerful mages that made deals with Eldritch Abominations and treated the lower classes like chattel. They fell into a violent magical war with the more benign Baklunish Empire when they tried to wipe the Baklunish out with the Invoked Devastation. The enraged Baklunish survivors retaliated with the Rain of Colorless Fire, which vaporized most of the Imperium and turned it into the lifeless Sea of Dust. The surviving Suel fled eastward into the Flanaess, forming new states in the present day. Most modern Suel people aren't as nasty as their ancestors, but some of them like the Scarlet Brotherhood are A Nazi by Any Other Name and want to recreate an empire where the pale-skinned Suel rule over darker-skinned humans and all the world's non-human races.
