Narrathoth

Narrathoth is a fictional extradimensional entity created by Robert Silverberg for his short story "Demons of Cthulhu".
==Description==
Narrathoth is an entirely white creature covered in scales. It is larger than a man, and has a bulging head with a single three-lobed eye. It speaks in a deep bubbling voice that sounds as if it was coming from the depths of the sea, and has a peculiar odor suggestive of extreme antiquity. It describes itself as "one of the lurkers at the threshold of the universe", and as one of the followers of Cthulhu, who waits for the time its master will return and reconquer the worlds he once ruled.
In the Necronomicon of Abdul Alhazred, Narrathoth is identified as a servant of the "Old Ones", although he shares the power of his dormant masters. Like them, Narrathoth lies asleep beyond the Great Gate. However, he can be summoned to our realm by a simple ritual, which can be easily performed even by the most amateur occultist. Only "six or seven" ingredients are needed, including a woman's undergarments and the blood of a male cat. A chalk pentagram must be drawn to keep the entity contained. The summoning chant also mentions Cthulhu and Shub-Niggurath.
Once summoned, Narrathoth can be forced to serve its summoner by the uttering of the phrase "I have called you by your True Name, Old One, and I command you to do my bidding". Its powers enable it to conjure up anything its summoner asks for, creating objects out of the fabric of spacetime itself, and although it serves grudgingly, it is forced by the spell of obedience not to harm its summoner in any way with the conjurations. In spite of all this, Alhazred still warns his readers that Narrathoth is wrathful and dangerous, and that "pity be upon him who summons him and loses control". (: "Demons of Cthulhu")
