Dagon (Cthulhu Mythos)

==Summary==
Dagon is the patriarch of the Deep Ones and god to the people of Innsmouth. Often called "Father Dagon" by his followers, he and Mother Hydra rule over the mysterious aquatic race, working towards unknown goals. Dagon is absolutely colossal, described as towering over 30 stories high (an average of 330 feet/100.584 meters). Because of his abnormal size and aloof nature, it is unknown whether Dagon is simply a gargantuan Deep One who acts as father of his race, or if he is actually a Great Old One similar to Cthulhu.
