Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The symbol of a serpent eating its own tail, making a circle. Dating back to Ancient Egypt, the Ouroboros is a symbol of eternity and the cyclical nature of time and the universe. The fact that the serpent is eating itself is also indicative of the idea of self-consumption in the way we live. Sometime it may even be two serpents each eating the other's tail, taking on similarities with the Yin Yang symbol. Another, more modern common variation is for the snake or snakes to have an additional knot which forms the infinity symbol, ∞. The Motif gains a lot of a secondary tier of association with alchemy and Time Travel. Note the connection to The Phoenix and also the serpent as the shedder of skin and rejuvenator which acts much like The Phoenix motif. In some versions, the serpent encircles the world or the Tree of Life, and is tied to its fate.

In Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey, the boss of Sector Eridanus is Ouroboros. You have to fight her twice over, because at the first time, five demons are giving her energy to survive indefinitely. She's beaten at the second try, but who said that it'll be easy? Then it turns out that defeating Ouroboros doesn't actually enable the Red Sprite to escape the Schwartzwelt... She appears as a silver serpent, her body in a vertical infinity symbol, tail in her mouth. | |

Discworld: Tethys, the water troll, landed on the Disc after falling off another world. One of the worlds he passed had a giant serpent eating its own tail around the disc, instead of the turtle/elephant arrangement of Discworld itself. This can be a reference or either the Norse mythology of Jörmungandr or, quite likely due to it also appearing in connection to the turtles-elephants-world model is Adisesha of Hindu tradition. In Pyramids, Dios carries a staff tipped with a pair of carved serpents. He doesn't actually notice that each one has its tail in its mouth until after he's flung 7000 years into the past, making him a Stable Time Loop. |

Tiger & Bunny features a crime syndicate called Ouroboros; members can be identified by ouroboros-symbol tattoos. For a while, Barnaby believed they were responsible for his parents' deaths, but they turned out to be a red herring. And while it seems like it is unrelated to the motif of the Ouroboros, in fact Ouroboros is fed by Maverick, who essentially leads the heroes. His actions cause Ouroboros to become a real shadowy organization as well, and they are essentially unstoppable, vowing to return at the end of the series. |

The first boss in Strider is called Ouroboros, a large centipede/serpent robot created by the merge of Kazakh's ruling party. In its second appearance during the final stage, it actually starts circling itself in place, making it look just like the symbol it is based on. Ouroboros Mk.III from the 2014 Strider is a Shout-Out to it. Ouroboros also just happens to be Hiryu's best known Hyper Combo from Marvel vs. Capcom, though it was likely named due to the Hyper's nature (two bots constantly spinning around Hiryu) rather than as a callback to the boss. | |

In the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues, all the Think Tanks have looping thought processes as a result of a limitation of their programming. To reflect this, they've all taken on names that represent some form of infinity, including Dr. Borous, shortened from Ouroboros. A smart character can call him on the misspelling, though he'll Handwave it. The other five are Doctors Klein (Klein bottle), 8 (infinity symbol on its side), Dala (short for "mandala," sanskrit for "circle"), 0 (a literal circle), and Mobius (Mobius strip). | |

Hazama/Terumi (of BlazBlue fame) has a weapon called Ouroboros which grants him long range attack options. To further the thematic 'cycle' in Ouroboros, this guy is responsible for creating the time loop that plagues the first game. To further the thematic 'autoconsumptive' theme in Ouroboros, his weapon exacerbates emotional vulnerabilities in his enemies, sometimes allowing him to talk them into spiritually cannabalizing themselves. | |

Lost: In Mrs. Hawking's first appearance, she is wearing a brooch in the shape of an ouroboros. Appropriately enough, her role is to tell Desmond (who is in the past, but with memories of his future), to not deviate from the timeline he remembers.

Crops up a lot in Noein, usually signaling that the amount of crazy quantum time travel hax is about to get even worse. The giant one that occasionally appears by a nearby island even serves as a portal to (effectively) The Legions of Hell near the end of the series. | |

The anime Souten Kouro —adaptation of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but instead focusing on Cao Cao— starts with depiction of the Ton, a mega-massive grotesque snake-like/dragon-like/crocodile-like beast that eats the world. When it runs out of things to eat, it begins devouring itself starting from the tail, and eventually it itself ceases to exist along with all that it ate. | |

Crom Cruach, one of the Old Gods from The Secret of Kells, combines this trope with Art Initiates Life, as this ancient deity who apparently wiped out The Fair Folk of Ireland before people stopped worshipping him takes the form of a Celtic Knot. Crom not only appears as an infinitely long serpent, he resembles a deep sea gulper eel◊. Brendan, the hero, has to steal the Eye of Crom using a Magic Crayon, whereupon Crom, blinded, consumes himself. |

The Auryn in The Neverending Story is based on the two-serpent version. In the film, they make the specific addition of having the two snakes also intertwine in the centre to make the other common variation of having the infinity symbol in the centre. |

The Worm Ouroboros is a High Fantasy novel by Eric Rucker Eddison. The book is a story that is taken to be part of a wider conflict with an ill defined beginning or end which casts an interesting light on the heroics of the main characters. To reflect this they have the name and also the Book-Ends of Here We Go Again!. | |

In the manga of the same name, the two main characters together are in the team "Ouroboros", but it have a different depiction: two dragons that bite each others' tails to form an Infinity symbol. This can also be found in one of Tatsuma's one-liners: "There are two dragons in Ouroboros". | |
