Quachil Uttaus

Quachil Uttaus (The Treader of the Dust) is a fictional entity created by Clark Ashton Smith for his short story "The Treader of the Dust". The character was later incorporated into the Cthulhu Mythos. 
==Background==
Quachil Uttaus is a Great Old One who can reduce all living tissue he comes into contact with to dust (and is therefore similar to another of Smith's characters, Ubbo-Sathla). Quachil Uttaus is usually associated with age, death, and decay. Summoning this god is considered lethal, if one even subconsciously entertains thoughts of suicide.
It is noted for the acceleration of time that occurs in its presence. Appears as a mummified humanoid with withered, bone-thin arms and unnatural, ever-grasping hands. Also known as "The Ultimate Corruption". It may have been known in ancient Egypt as Ka-Rath, "The Keeper of the Dust".
==In Other Media==
*In the light novel series Ultimate Antihero, Quachil Uttaus is one of the Evil Gods that Homura Kamishiro has the ability to summon. It has the power of time acceleration, which can be used to increase the speed of an entire army by making them move ten times faster.
*The survival horror game That's Not My Neighbor features a character named after Quachil Uttaus.
