==Summary==
Yog-Sothoth is one of the all-powerful Ultimate Gods that reside in the formless chaos past the confines of dimensioned space, and the most important and prominent of them all, being directly associated with the entity known as "The Supreme Archetype," who reigns chief among the inhabitants of the Ultimate Abyss and is coterminous with all of existence as an unbounded oneness of pure being, holding a particularly close connection to great thinkers and seekers of cosmic knowledge, among which is Randolph Carter, who eventually has a direct encounter with the supreme entity, aiming to penetrate the illusory Veil of existence and attain knowledge of the "Ultimate Mystery" that lies behind all things.
Unlike the other entities of its level, who are so far beyond human comprehension as to appear mindless and devoid of personality entirely, the Supreme Archetype displays a quasi-benevolent attitude towards lesser entities, being willing to have an audience with whoever it deems worthy of its attention, and giving them the choice of either partaking in its own, boundless knowledge regarding all things, or leaving the outer spheres with their own ignorance unscathed.

|-|The Ancient Ones=Attack Potency: At least Outerverse level (The Ancient Ones reside in the Outer Extension, a trans-dimensional region that exists beyond a multiverse containing an infinity of infinite-dimensional infinite spacetime atoms, perceiving the macrocosm and its contents as infinitesimal illusions with no substance; they are unfathomably greater in power than all the other entities and horrors that lurk in such undimensioned darkness), Outerverse level+ with Rituals (The Ancient Ones guard the Ultimate Gate leading to the Ultimate Void inhabited by the Ultimate Gods and can summon the Gate through a ritual by joining their dreams and allowing explorers to open it using the Silver KeyThrough the Gates of the Silver Key p. 87)
|-|Yog-Sothoth=Attack Potency: Boundless (Yog-Sothoth exists in the Ultimate Void as the chief of the formless and ineffable "archetypes" known as the Ultimate Gods, changeless entities of which all things are derivative facets. Yog-Sothoth embodies the infinite circle in its godly paradigm with Azathoth, existing as the macrocosm half of the Supreme Archetype, an all-encompassing oneness/"All-in-One and One-in-All of limitless being and self" of animating essence that subsumes even the Ultimate Mystery that underlies all manifested phenomena and eclipses even the Ultimate Void and its transcendent inhabitants the same way they transcend the rest of existence)
