Lamashtu

Lamashtu, also called the Mother of Monsters and Queen of Beasts, is one of the oldest gods of Gernon. Lamashtu was born of the fear in the void. She is the goddess of beasts, gave birth to all the monstrous races of the world, and is the progenitor of many minor evil gods. Her evil deeds included slaying children, unborns, and neonates, causing harm to mothers and expectant mothers, eating men and drinking their blood, disturbing sleep, bringing nightmares, and sending her children out to destroy all they can touch.
==Beliefs==
Her followers venerate her the way that new-born spiders tear each other apart to survive. Lamashtu promoted this by encouraging her worshipers to kill their rivals, thus ensuring that they were the strongest of the 'brood'.
==Worship Centers==
She was mainly worshiped by assassins, depraved elves, monsters, and sentient beasts. Her worshipers were often solitary or formed cults. Because of their constant lethal internal rivalries, the authority figures of her worship was ever changing.
==Goblin Worship==
Many goblin communities worship Lamashtu as the "Monster Mother". When the Spawn of Kalderus invaded Gernon, one of the Spawn was thought by some goblins near Quata to be Lamashtu because of its likeness to her description. The goblins weren't smart and didn't know that she usually had a spider body, not a rabbit body.
