Unseen Evil	comment	A villain-specific type of He Who Must Not Be Seen, the Unseen Evil is something so horrifying it cannot be shown on screen. Used when nothing the art department could come up with could possibly be horrifying enough. Or because you have no budget for effects, and need an easy out (see Shaky P.O.V. Cam). In some cases the Unseen Evil is eventually shown on screen, perhaps because the heroes are finally at the end of the Sorting Algorithm of Evil and need something tangible to oppose. These cases usually end in disappointment, and prove the original decision not to show anything correct. If said disappointment is intentional on the authors' part, then the villain is just The Man Behind the Curtain. Compare Monster Delay. Sister trope of Nothing Is Scarier, where an entire story's terror factor relies on the invisibility of... whatever it is. You Cannot Grasp the True Form is sometimes used in conjunction with this trope; even those who attempt to look at the Unseen Evil are unable to do so, in which case it's probably an Eldritch Abomination. Contrast Obscured Special Effects, where we may catch glimpses of the monster but never get a good look.

Unseen Evil / int_14e9f567	comment	Ultraman Gaia has its Big Bad, the Radical Destruction Bringer (sometimes called the Root of Destruction). It's never actually seen or appears, but is responsible for the events of the entire series either directly or indirectly. All that we really know is that it hates Earth and sees the planet as a threat to the universe. It pretty much vanishes after the final monster Zogu is destroyed, so many fans speculate its identity to have been Zogu.

Unseen Evil / int_1a567c4a	comment	AI War: Fleet Command: Whatever it is that is fighting the AI in the Extragalactic War. We know Spire remnants are a definite enemy and that stuff like the Nanocaust could well be "one of those things" that the AI needs its true fleet to battle. But the rest is apparently a damnably huge, permanently unidentified threat that could well be unified. We only know the AI believes it would kill humanity if left alone (something the AI itself is putting off in the meantime), and that it's apparently so bloody huge and dangerous it takes 99.9% of the AI's industrial might to merely keep it at bay. A unified, giga-industrialized intelligence with access to things like Motherships, Planetcrackers and Flensers is throwing everything it has at the Extragalactic threat and it is not working. The game's creators have stated that the main body of the Extragalactic Threat is the Obscura; Absolute Xenophobe particulate life forms that in another time, another game, took a massive coalition of alien empires to beat.

Unseen Evil / int_1c85af95	comment	Subverted in Darkened Skye, where the Big Bad, known as "He whose face must not be glimpsed" and universally feared by all, is ultimately revealed to literally be a tiny maggot. As the heroine puts it: "He Whose Face Must Not Be Glimpsed? That's because he's too small to see!". Deliberately or not, this might be a Shout-Out to Captain Marvel's enemy, Mister Mind. When he first appeared in the 1940's, it was over a year of comics before he appeared as anything but a voice over a radio, sending his Monster Society of Evil to wreak havoc. When he was finally revealed, his true form was... a superintelligent alien caterpillar about 4 inches long, wearing glasses.

Unseen Evil / int_1cc8e29f	comment	Throughout the lifespan of Destiny, the Darkness responsible for leveling human civilization (and empowering several of the enemy factions trying to finish off the survivors) never received a depiction or even a coherent description. One Grimoire Card was even dedicated to listing various in-universe theories about what it was, ranging from an invading alien armada to a metaphysical corruption. This was due to the developers themselves not knowing what the Darkness was at the time of release. Further details emerged over the years, in which it became clear that it was a Sentient Cosmic Force of selfishness and violence, but it was only until Destiny 2 that its physical avatars were revealed, first as the Black Fleet, a fleet of giant black pyramids, and secondly in the Witness, an Uncanny Valley Humanoid Abomination that commands the pyramids. Even then, it's questionable whether the Witness is truly the mind and embodiment of the Darkness, as its stated goals and speech patterns are different from what we've previously heard from the Darkness itself.

Unseen Evil / int_1db412d3	comment	Played with by both main villains in Mistborn. The Lord Ruler is kept off page for most of the first novel, building up an air of mystery and fear about him; as a result, even though other main characters have met him before, Vin is stunned the first time she sees him and realizes he's a pretty ordinary-looking man. Later on, the real Big Bad, Ruin is portrayed for the first part of the third book as a completely inhuman force of nature. Later, it starts interacting with mortals in suprisingly humanlike fashion, using images of people they've known as its avatars. Vin speculates that this is just a mask, though spoiler:and she's proven right when she becomes a god herself and sees Ruin in his true form. What little description the reader gets could easily be summed up as "Eldritch Abomination", proving that while the heroine can now face the villain on his own terms, he's still brain-breakingly horrible to mortals.

Unseen Evil / int_2212773a	comment	The Wolf, Ram, and the Hart, aka the Senior Partners of Wolfram & Hart from Angel. A powerful and ancient cabal of demons that are the true power behind the series' main antagonists, they are never seen or even heard once. The demon that appears for the Review was just possessed by one of them. Yet the series makes their influence an undeniable and terrible thing. By the end of the series, they ultimately prove to be an unstoppable force of Evil that Angel and company can only fight, but never defeat. In contrast to the First Evil, the Wolf, Ram, and Hart were once ordinary (and quite lowly) demons in primordial times. But when most of the more powerful demons died off (first by warring with each other, then being defeated by early humans and the original Slayer), and they managed to survive in the shadows, scheming and building up their power to the point that they're even more threatening than the First Evil.

Unseen Evil / int_3ec5b7a6	comment	The Minotaur in House of Leaves. In reality, the Minotaur isn't so much a character as it is a concept invented by characters journeying through the house to explain the uneasy feeling that they're being watched, followed, and hunted down by some horrific creature. Tom Navidson even calls it "Mr. Monster" at one point. It is only called the Minotaur by Zampanó, who later struck through every passage containing that title. The strike-throughs are actually provided by Truant, who reconstructed the passages after Zampanó attempted to destroy them. On at several occasions, he succeeds, most notably on pages 372-373, the former of which contains the phrase [2 pages missing] and the latter of which is a series of XXXXXXXX interrupted only by one word and one partial word, though the footnotes survived. However, it's not simply that there is no such as independent thing as the Minotaur. People even seem to get killed by it.

What makes this so weird is that the characters being chased will often look into the camera, scream, and flee, but then the camera will cut to another angle (not a POV shot) and the characters will seem not to be running from anything at all.

Unseen Evil / int_42ffb88e	comment	SCP Foundation: SCP-055 is the most mysterious and potentially dangerous SCP contained by the Foundation. Its only known property is that it somehow erases any other information pertaining to it from all records and memory. As a result, no one remembers when or how the Foundation first acquired it. While it's entirely possible that the SCP is otherwise completely harmless, the Foundation isn't taking any chances and treats it like any other Keter object. It is possible to remember what it isn't. Which somehow makes it worse. And what, so far, do people remember it isn't? Round, safe, or contained. Simliar to 055, SCP-579 is apparently so utterly horrible that the description is censored. All that's revealed is the containment procedures...which involve sealing the thing in an alternate universe (which is itself created by another SCP—something that's strictly forbidden by the Foundation's MO). And the protocol in case of a breach? Destroy the alternate universe. And if even that doesn't work? Well... SCP-231, a group of women impregnated with Eldritch Abominations by an evil cult, is rife with this. Of the seven, six have already given birth, resulting in greater casualties every single time, with implication that the seventh giving birth may cause The End of the World as We Know It. There is no description for any of the six Abominations already born. The photo that came with the document - whatever it depicted - has been censored away by the O5s. We don't get to know either what is the mysterious "Procedure 110-Montauk", regularly performed on SCP-231-7 to prevent her from giving birth to the final Eldritch Abomination, only that it's something very cruel and inhumane which probably involves violent rape but has been confirmed by Word of God to be even worse than just that. And what about its father? Exactly what the Scarlet King is varies depending on the author (as does everything in the SCP mythos), but he's either the manifestation of the border between modern enlightenment and old feudalism, out to bring the world back to a primitive, Might Makes Right state, or, considerably worse, a god born under the roots of the Tree of Knowledge, born with the curse of self awareness, convinced that existence is suffering, and intent on freeing all that is from the pain of being by burning the Great Tree.

The only scene where his mask is removed is done by a different character and his corpse is destroyed before you can look yourself. According to other sources, Nihilus is actually dead, and just takes the form of a mask and cloak through the force. Kreia implies that he has, through eons of hate, malice, dark side power and soul draining entire species, become literally nothing but Evil with a lightsaber- making him possibly the only villain to ever hate himself out of the laws of reality.

This particular game is where this trope gets applied the hardest, as the town is unquestionably malevolent, and capable of shaping itself to inflict the most pain possible on its victims. However, despite multiple possibilities being offered, nothing ever really confirms for sure what makes the town the way it is, or why it does it. There's even some speculation that the God of the cult that lives there is actually also an illusion the town has created to inflict more suffering on the world. This probably done on purpose since ultimately, the town would be less scary if we knew why it was the way it is.

It is described by its few survivors as an invisible, malevolent force, drifting from system to system. In its presence, life vanishes, and stars are said to "wither like rotten fruit." Is it alive?

Unseen Evil / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons: Pale Night, a demon lord. She appears as a ghostly woman wearing a shroud. Her true form is so horrifying, though, that reality itself rejects it; the shroud is not hers, apparently, but something the multiverse forces on her. (This is implied to be because Obyrith demons themselves are chaotic beings of entropy and madness; the reason for their hideous forms is because the, for lack of a better term, intelligence of the Abyss is forced to adhere to the rules of a lawful universe to bring its servitors into being. Pale Night's true form, though, managed to break those rules.) Her deadliest attack is the ability to suppress her shroud for an instant. Unlike almost every other example in the game, if you succeed on the Will save against this ability, your character is considered to have NOT comprehended what he saw, and blocked it out. Whereas if you fail they understand what they see and die instantly. If the character is resurrected, they will have no memory of what was seen. Late 2nd Edition and early 3rd Edition D&D also had Asmodeus, the Dark Lord of the Ninth, ruler of the Nine Hells of Baator. For much of 2nd Edition, particularly the Planescape setting, the highest lords of Baator (especially Asmodeus) were shrouded in mystery, playing this trope conventionally. Then after the Archdevils were revealed, the mystery around Asmodeus had to be reestablished with A Guide to Hell, a sourcebook that suggested Asmodeus is an illusion maintained by an impossibly ancient... thing that resides at the bottom of the Ninth Hell, in a miles-long spiraling trench called the Serpent's Coil. A later 3rd Edition book (Fiendish Codex II) gave more details, once again pulling back the veil of mystery on Asmodeus. Pathfinder and 4th Edition have further rewritten Asmodeus for their own purposes, as he has become more popular among fans and writers both. D&D 3.5 supplement Lords of Madness gives vague description of beings that predate even the Aboleth, all of which are Lovecraftian entities that aren't even given statistics (unlike the aforementioned Pale Night), only how their influence shaped Aboleth societies. Aboleths are creatures for whom the writers had to invent a new word to describe: unhuman.

This dark malevolent entity was somehow sealed away within Cathedral City, but not before a small piece of it was able to infect Zero, manifesting as the flower in her eye. Its influence slowly turns its host into a Grotesquerie Queen, the source of the lesser Grotesqueries aka the Watchers. The reason Zero sought out the strongest dragon Michael (and later raises his reincarnation Mikhail to become stronger) was because dragons, being the natural predator of the Flower, are the only ones who can truly destroy it.

Unseen Evil / int_7fc78282	comment	The Lord of the Rings, the eponymous villain Sauron is this, although he's not the biggest bad in The 'Verse. He's mentioned often but never actually appears, deliberately, to heighten the sense of his unfathomable, mind-breakingly evil power. He is, however, given some description in supplemental material, and going by those it's better that we don't see what's really behind all this craziness. In the film adaptation, Sauron was given a full costume for the prologue, and was even intended to appear in the climax and duel Aragorn, before filmmakers realized how goofy that would be and digitally replaced him with a big troll. Still follows the trope though, in that we never see what he looks like underneath his armor. Sauron appears as the Necromancer in the film adaptations of The Hobbit, and takes the appearance of a black, humanoid ghost. The Silmarillion suggests that it was difficult for him to take physical form, at least without The Ring's power. In the film he was never seen during the Third Age, although the giant fiery eyeball was mistakenly identified as his physical form by some viewers, including the 'Sauron blogger' who stated "I am not an evil lighthouse."

It's a nigh omnipotent evil god that has existed since the beginning of time and is the ultimate cause of all the conflict in the series. So far it's still mostly sealed away from reality, and even if it does break free, it's been implied that it probably doesn't have an actual physical form. The only time anyone has encountered it directly is when it communicated mentally with one of the Forsaken. Even then, we only hear its voice, and that alone was enough to make the person hearing it weep from a combination of agony and ecstasy. Even when partially freed it takes the form of a vast void rather than anything humanlike.

Unseen Evil / int_98c55b59	comment	This is invoked in Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura in regards to Arronax. Arronax was a very real and very dangerous elven mage way back in the Age of Legends, and was sealed in the Void for his crimes. In modern times, he's treated as the ultimate evil, turning him into a folklore symbol instead of something real. This allows the dark elves to infiltrate the Panarii religion, which was tasked with maintaining the seal that keeps him from returning, and trick them into ignoring their duty.

Although, you can look closely to see its reflection sneaking up on someone the second night. Somewhat subverted in that it isn't really evil, it just eats humans, and wants to go back to its home planet. And when we do see it, it appears as an oddly noble, sympathetic, and frightened creature.

Unseen Evil / int_9ac053cb	comment	Many of the tenets of this trope evolved from the 1942 horror classic Cat People. In that case, the film's budget was very low and the only special effects the production could afford was tatty off-the-rack "man in a cat suit" suits; the director thought it would be much scarier to not show the creatures at all but merely use cinematographic tricks and the actors' performances to suggest them. The effect worked, and has been endlessly copied ever since. The origin of this particular usage was dramatized in The Bad and the Beautiful, in which Kirk Douglas (playing a Composite Character based partly on Cat People producer Val Lewton) and Barry Sullivan spend a scene or two working on a B-movie called Cat Men.

When he finally makes his debut... And now we have E.N.D., Zeref's most powerful demon and the Guild Master of Tartarus. Compared to Zeref, he's far more confusing: though most have claimed him to be a perfect example of this trope, Igneel and Zeref himself have claimed that there is more to him than that, such that the former he refused to kill him even when he had the opportunity and the latter claimed to Natsu that, upon encountering him, it would be his choice on whether to kill him or not. His true name is Etherious Natsu Dragneel and he is in fact the undead demonic brother of Zeref Dragneel.

Unseen Evil / int_b9a0d78d	comment	Alien pulled the same trick; the director realized that while H. R. Giger's design was awesome and the creature did look scary in glimpses in the dark, it ran the risk of looking fake if it was too visible. When the special effects caught up with the design, we got Aliens. Although not really, because Nothing Is Scarier fully applies here. The design of the suits in Aliens were actually simplified (some only being leotards with bits and pieces of skin), not just to cut costs (because they needed a lot more suits), but to allow the actors a greater range of motion. In a well lit room the original would look far better, but because James Cameron kept them either in the shadows or moving too fast to clearly see, he gets away with it beautifully.

Unseen Evil / int_b9b796cf	comment	In Fate/stay night, the heroes eventually find out that the MacGuffin they are fighting for was actually corrupted some time in the past and has become the home of Angra Mainyu, the Zoroastrian Devil. He is a being that is 60 billion curses personified and the antithesis of human goodness. And he hates back. The only thing we get to see is basically pure evil that is leaking from it, and it is implied that it has no 'real' shape. Except in the Heaven's Feel route, where it finally manages to manifest itself as a vaguely humanoid tangle of limbs and eyes. Luckily, it does not succeed in being properly born before it is obliterated. And then in Fate/hollow ataraxia, the trope is subverted. Angra Mainyu didn't exist until the Grail created him in accordance with the "wish" of the people who martyred Avenger: For there to exist an unseen evil which they could blame for their own sins. There's also the Beast-class Servants, seven (eight since one has two halves) powerful beings that each pose a threat to humanity simply by existing. There are several mentions of them and their members in various other Type-Moon works, but they come into prominence in Fate/Grand Order. Seven of them have been confirmed thus far: Beast I: Goetia, the aggregate body of the 72 demons pillars of the Ars Goetia. He was created by Solomon to watch over mankind. However, he decided that humans are so pitiful that it would be better to incinerate the human order and use the energy produced to travel back in time to create a new humanity. Beast II: Tiamat, the primordial Mesopotamian Goddess of Chaos who wants to exterminate all life so she can go through the experience of giving birth to all life once again. Beast III/L: Kama/Mara, the Hindu/Buddhist God(dess) of Love having fallen prey to her darker half who wishes to drown humanity in depravity and pleasure until society itself breaks down. Beast III/R: The Demonic Bodhisattva, a Dark Messiah who seeks to fulfill her twisted idea of salvation upon the world. Beast IV: Primate Murder, a being said to be the best existence at killing humans. Fou, the Ridiculously Cute Critter who's been accompanying you, turns out to be an alternate universe version of it. Beast VI: The Beast of Revelations Beast VII: U-Olga Marie, the mysterious Foreign God that attacked Earth and bleached the planet white with no life in sight and set about creating Lostbelts to fight each other and ultimately take the place as the "new" Proper Human History, with herself as its ultimate new ruler. She previously attempted to have the protagonist killed during a prototype Lostbelt experiment through her proxies, and for some reason she wears the face of the apparently deceased Olga Marie, before said reveal always acting through her emissaries and the Crypters but never actually appearing.

For much of 2nd Edition, particularly the Planescape setting, the highest lords of Baator (especially Asmodeus) were shrouded in mystery, playing this trope conventionally. Then after the Archdevils were revealed, the mystery around Asmodeus had to be reestablished with A Guide to Hell, a sourcebook that suggested Asmodeus is an illusion maintained by an impossibly ancient... thing that resides at the bottom of the Ninth Hell, in a miles-long spiraling trench called the Serpent's Coil. A later 3rd Edition book (Fiendish Codex II) gave more details, once again pulling back the veil of mystery on Asmodeus. Pathfinder and 4th Edition have further rewritten Asmodeus for their own purposes, as he has become more popular among fans and writers both.

Unseen Evil / int_d46cc708	comment	In Ed, Edd n Eddy Eddy's brother is kept from being seen, his presence only indicated by the stories Eddy tells, and his legacy only shown by the terrified reactions of Rolf, Kevin, and Eddy (when they thought he had come back). When we do finally see him, we see that he does mostly just look like Eddy, but coupled with his behaviors and the wildly frightening evil smiles and rather evil expressions he gives everyone, it's clear he is by far the greatest villain above the rest the show has to offer. Evil Tim. Maybe.

Unseen Evil / int_d5b52652	comment	The eponymous Siren. You hear its cry — something like a distorted, unearthly air raid siren, in a play on the dual meaning of the word — but you never actually get to see it. The Sorting Algorithm of Evil skips right over it, taking you straight from the shibito to Datatsushi, The God That Fell, the creator of the siren, the shibito, and the red water. Word of God is that the siren is just the sound of Datatsushi, but this contradicts the game itself; a secret cutscene shows the fall of Datatushi and the first appearance of the siren, and there, the cry of the siren and the cry of Datatsushi are clearly two entirely different sounds, the siren responding to Datatsushi's scream.

That said, the awakening mitochondria life forms that Eve manifests from are an invisible and omnipresent menace.

Unseen Evil / int_e293455a	comment	Buffy the Vampire Slayer has the First Evil, a primordial being which claims to be the will of evil itself. An incorporeal being, it can take the form of anyone who has died (even if they're The Undead or currently alive again), which it uses to very creepy effect. Then, about three times in the whole series, we get a brief glimpse of its apparent "true" form...which demonstrates the reason for this trope. Random demony face just isn't a match for one of our beloved main characters acting like a twistedly cruel version of themselves.

And he actually is every bit as horrific, powerful, and monsterous as he'd been made out to be. He's a purple dragon like Spyro, but he's far larger than normal and looks like a dragon straight out of the pits of Hell. He's also an Omnicidal Maniac whose sole goal is to destroy the world, and he comes so close to succeeding the world is already starting to break apart when Spyro lets loose a World-Healing Wave.

Unseen Evil / int_e6b693f8	comment	The title character of It. The forms that ARE seen, such as the infamous Monster Clown Pennywise, are based on childhood fears. The giant spider form at the end was meant to be the most terrifying of the forms that humanity can "safely" comprehend. Beyond that, madness ensues. A secondary human villain was manipulated into bringing It a hostage and looks at It when It's not wearing a form and promptly keels over dead. Poor George Denbrough, who made the mistake of reaching down into the sewer for one of the Monster Clown's balloons.

A good example of what's problematic with showing the Unseen Evil, as well — after several seasons of only being mentioned in passing he's finally revealed as a mysterious cloaked figure. With each sucessive appearance, the Source gets more stupid looking and more like a traditional Big Bad, until finally he's killed off and replaced with new Big Bads. (At this point, "Source of All Evil" is eventually revealed to be a title rather than a literal descriptor.)

Unseen Evil / int_f74b5f80	comment	Babylon 5 gives us the Shadows, who are seen, but relatively rarely. They look like giant, really nasty spider/mantises, but they're usually invisible—saving on the CGI budget and adding to the fear factor: a Shadow could be anywhere, lurking, spying. The Vorlons, who eventually prove to be evil (or rather, Lawful Blue to the point where it's indistinguishable from Evil), are only ever seen in their encounter suits—again, their natural form is too CGI-heavy to be used that much.

Of course, a major part of the mystery is just what it is in the first place. Ultimately, it turns out to be simply a large dog that is being used for a "Scooby-Doo" Hoax.

One monster we don't see is simply known as "Kevin". That is the only thing we know about it. According to most sources, such as deleted scenes, Kevin is a superficially Nice Guy who is actually a psychopathic Serial Killer (possibly a Shout-Out to We Need to Talk About Kevin).
