Eldritch beings are typically portrayed as apathetic or malevolent beings that can destroy the world. However, in Bloodborne, eldritch beings are portrayed as either benevolent or just curious.

And while usually these eldritch beings are the reason why a town was wiped out or a town was corrupted, in Bloodborne it was man’s actions that brought them ruin.

“What if we kill this eldritch being and slaughter everyone in the hamlet?” “What if we used its blood to heal the sick?”

I just find it fascinating how humans were the source of everything wrong that happened, when usually in these types of stories, humans usually can’t fight back; at best they’ll only delay the inevitable.
