Great Old Ones

The Great Old Ones are a group of malignant ancient beings of immense power. They are worshipped as gods by deranged human cults, as well as by some of the non-human races. The Great Old Ones are currently imprisoned - a few beneath the sea, some inside the Earth, and still others in distant planetary systems (and beyond). The Great Old Ones were once members or servants of the Elder Gods. When they committed some unknown blasphemy, they were cast out and imprisoned in various places in the universe. They impatiently await the time of their release, eager to seek retribution against their jailors. 
The Great Old Ones are to be distinguished from the Outer Gods - more cosmically placed entities such as Azathoth, Nyarlathotep and Yog-Sothoth. Yet this distinction is unclear at times, in part because the terminology is not always consistent. For instance, Nyarlathotep, despite his marked interest in Earth and its culture, is generally considered to be an Outer God instead of a Great Old One. On the other hand, Hastur has several avatars and is generally based in outer space, but he is still considered a Great Old One.
