Ghattambah

Ghattambah, the Insect-God, is a being created by Mark McLaughlin and Michael Sheehan, Jr. for their Cthulhu Mythos stories.
==Description==
Ghattambah is described as being
Ghattambah exists outside of time and space, and is said to be able to gift those it deems worthy with fantastic powers.
The High Priest of Ghattambah's human cult, Azmael Mondrago, has shown no compunction in destroying those who trespass within its chapel, and is suspected of being responsible for the disappearance of several children in his time, suggesting that Ghattambah requires blood sacrifice (: "In The Chapel Of Ghattambah").
At some point in Earth's future Ghattambah served Nyarlathotep in the Outer God's plots to lay waste to the human race. (: "The Spawn Of Ghattambah").
===Gat===
Gat is an avatar of Ghattambah that begins its life as a cat-like creature which feeds on the psychic energy of lust and violence. When it has consumed a sufficient amount, it enters a chrysalis-like stage which hatches into an insectile monstrosity with a hunger for more tangible sustenance. This stage is capable of intelligent communication and also reproduction, which it achieves by laying its eggs in living human flesh.
It is said that Gat visited Ancient Egypt in the past, although what form it took is unknown (: "The Hungry One Must Feed").
==History==
In ancient prehistory, Ghattambah was worshipped by the native Martians before the coming of the Elder Things. His worship ended when the servile Shoggoths rose up against their masters and devastated the planet, the Elder Things draining the world of its water supplies in an effort to wipe out their former slaves (: "Shoggoth Apocalypse").
In more modern times, Ghattambah somehow established its worship on Earth, with the Mondrago bloodline acting as it’s priests since at least the 1400s. They have maintained the Chapel of Ghattambah in their expansive mansion to this day (: "In The Chapel Of Ghattambah", "Shoggoth Apocalypse").
There also exists an ancient temple to Ghattambah somewhere in Peru. This temple includes sacred pools which were home to at least one extra-dimensional larva of an unknown species (: "The Horror in the Water Tower").
