Line 5:
If the creator [[A God Am I|makes themselves into a god]], they generally don't qualify for this trope. False idols that [[Gods Need Prayer Badly|become gods by worship]] only apply if the deification is intentional.

* ''[[Golden Sun: Dark Dawn]]'' reveals early on {{spoiler|The Wise One was made as one by the [[Precursors]] to keep humanity from releasing Alchemy}}. Of course, they hadn't accounted for {{spoiler|the world dying without Alchemy's power}}, which led to [[
** The Great Gabomba in ''The Lost Age'' may be this as well. It's definitely a machine, and it just as clearly functions as the chief deity of Kibombo, with no other known purpose.
* In ''[[The Elder Scrolls]]'', this is how the Dwemer civilization came to an end. They sought to use the heart of a dead god to build their own God in a golem's body, Numidium. Instead it caused them to vanish from existence.
