Nioth-Korghai (character)

Nioth-Korghai is an extraterrestrial character who appears in Clark Ashton Smith's Zothique Cycle story "The Tomb-Spawn".
==Description==
When first introduced, Nioth-Korghai was not described, although it was mentioned that young men and women were sacrificed to it.
Later, after dying and merging with the equally-dead Ossaru, it was described thus:
==History==
Nioth-Korghai descended from the stars on a fiery comet and befriended one of Zothique's most powerful rulers, to whom he offered advice on a variety of subjects, and dwelt in a specially-constructed chamber beneath Ossaru's palace. After many years, it died of an unknown condition, and was buried in its old living quarters, where Ossaru joined it upon his own death.
When a pair of travellers stumbled across its tomb, they discovered that the two entities had merged, and were promptly murdered by the gestalt creature before it accidentally killed itself.
==Trivia==
*Nioth-Korghai was developed by Colin Wilson for his novel The Star Vampires, and by Chaosium for their Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game.
