Ktu'un

==Location==
An undisclosed prison in the Atlantic ocean, most likely in the vicinity of the Bermuda Triangle.
==Appearance==
Ktu’un is a huge, terrifying humanoid with many features reminiscent of crustaceans and other sea creatures. It’s most obvious feature is its giant, squidlike head, with hundreds of tentacles and four piercing yellow eyes. He stands over a quarter of a mile tall.
==Lair==
Ktu’un doesn’t hide in a lair, instead moving freely throughout the world. When he sleeps, hedescends into the ocean, and normally does so for thousands of years at a time.
==History==
Ktu’un was first mentioned in the original Hebrew book of Genesis, where he was trapped by God inone of the rivers that flowed out of the Garden of Eden. Of course, this river split apart during themain continental drift and formed the Atlantic Ocean. Ktu’un, sometimes referred to as Ktulu, hasslept there since the dawn of time, being too awful to allow to walk the world. However, his slumberwill one day end, and that will be the beginning of the end of the world.
==Modus Operandi==
Ktu’un will raise when the proper summonation takes place. He will begin to walk toward anunspecified place (some think it is one of the pyramids or ziggurats of the world, others think it isStonehenge, and others still think it will be a place not yet built but built specifically for thispurpose). He will begin to enact the ritual that will open the Black Gate and release his companionsinto the world once again. This ritual takes one year, and this year is referred to in ancient literatureas the After. When the After is finally completed, and the ritual ends, the Gate will open, and the OldOnes will re-emerge to claim the world.
==Avatar==
The Avatar of Ktu’un is nameless, gradually becoming like Ktu’un in appearance until he stands 7feet tall and his face is nothing but a round mouth ringed with rows of teeth and surrounded byhundreds of slender tentacles. The Avatar will raise a cult to summon Ktu’un, normally using eithersuperstitious primitives or by offering fame and power and fortune to others. When it is powerfulenough, they will begin the Summonation.
==Servants==
Ktu’un commands all the legions of darkness, and any evil creature, even if it a Master-level entity,will do the will of Ktu’un.
==Power==
Ktu’un has the ability to fly and to call all evil creatures to himself. He is also the high priest of theother Old Gods, and thus knows every single thing there is to know about magick.
==Summonation==
The summonation of Ktu’un involves going to an island (it has not been determined yet exactlywhere, although it is in the vicinity of the place where Ktu’un is imprisoned) with a magick book(which also needs to be discovered first, and some say it may not even have been written yet) writtenby one of Ktu’un’s devotees through telepathy, inscribed directly from the mind of the Horror. Theceremony in it, which takes 24 hours, must be performed exactly as written. Ktu’un will rise theentire time, slowly trying to wake up. If the ceremony is interrupted at any time, Ktu’un will sinkback into the waves and return to sleep.
==Offering==
There is only one offering that Ktu’un wishes… his freedom. Granting him this will give thesummoners the particular honor of being the first to be destroyed.
==Gifts==
Ktu’un will offer amazing magickal abilities to his avatar, and will give many of hisfollowers the Mark of Ktu’un, which causes them to slowly change over time to be morelike him (this looks differently on each person). As they begin to change, they also gainTelepathy.
==Cults==
There are probably more cults to Ktu’un than there are to any other god or Horror. They arenormally tribal or aboriginal, but quite a few (normally started by powerful people seekingeven more power and looking to destroy the world for some reason) can be found incivilized countries. While the smaller cults are very open about their practices, these largerones found in cities will be extremely secretive, very large and well-funded, and willprobably have some kind of secret symbol or even a secret language spoken only bymembers.
