Mormo

Mormo is a shapeshifting female entity known for having three forms: The first form, is a mocking vampire-like maiden who may or may not be wearing Victorian Era style clothing; Second, a gorgon-like creature with tentacles for hair instead of snakes; And lastly, a large toad-like creature with tentacles for a face, akin to her servitors the Moon-beasts.
In the story The Horror At Red Hook, H. P. Lovecraft directly connected Mormo to Lilith. He referenced Hippolytus, but put a more sinister twist upon the worship of Mormo.
In the Trail of Cthulhu roleplaying game, Kenneth Hite says Mormo is Diana, Mab, Lamia, Lilith, Medusa, The Moon, and/or several other Gods, Titans, and Great Old Ones. He links her to vampires, werewolves, and dogs, and says she's an enemy of Bast. As with all of Hite's write-ups of Gods and Titans in that book, the Keeper (GM) is encouraged to decide which of the contradictory elements are true and which are mere myth or misunderstanding.
==Trivia==
*In Ancient Greek mythology, Gorgo and Mormo, along with Stheno, are given as names for the Gorgons, of whose form the originally very beautiful Medusa is given the likeness as a curse.
