Iukhuztotl, The Gate of the Cosmic Horrors

**Iukhuztotl**, also known as **The Gate of the Cosmic Horrors**, was an Outer God born from Gorthelek, The Cosmic Mists. It once acted as a dimensional transporter for large amounts of the Cosmic Horrors' forces, such as the case of the gathering of vampires for the event of the Turning of the Vampires.

Unlike many other Cosmic Horrors, it currently (13th century) resides outside the Desolate Dimension, but is also heavily injured like Dagon, it lies dormant under (TBA) and is attended to by the Servitors of the Outer Gods.

The other **Outer Gods** and Old Ones await its recovery so they may be able to escape **the Desolate Dimension** and once again seek to claim creation.

## Abilities

### Racial Abilities

* **Eldritch Physiology**: The **Outer Gods** are eldritch abominations, beings whose very existence defies the rules of nature and/or existence and is defined by its disregard for the natural laws of the universe as we understand them. They wield godlike powers and are, for the most part, not bound by the laws of the universe. Their true form cannot be grasped by mortal beings and may be interpreted differently by different individuals/species, with others creating a collective delusion of their form. These interpretations can range from the unusual to the awe-inspiring, to the mind-shatteringly terrifying. It is rare, but not unheard of, for the presence of such a being to benefit the universe it currently inhabits.
	+ **Alien Mind**: The inner workings of a **Outer God's** mind differ greatly from what could be considered "normal" or "sane" by the standards of most living things.
	+ **Contagious Influence**: An **Outer God** can taint those around them with a physio-psychoactive influence that can twist and warp their very appearance and mindset to whatever the individual desires.
	+ **Cosmic Otherness**: An **Outer God** possesses an essence that is absolute in its otherness and entirely exclusive to their nature alone. They are able to distinguish themselves from absolutely everything, everywhere, everywhen, and everyhow, without any exception.
	+ **Fanaticism Inducement**: An **Outer God** can induce fanaticism, the belief in something with uncritical zeal, or with an obsessive enthusiasm.
	+ **Incomprehensible Form**: An **Outer God** possesses a true form that others cannot grasp with their mind.
	+ **Interdimensional Entity Physiology**: An **Outer God** is an existence that occupies two or more dimensions essentially existing in several places at once. While they exist within those boundaries, they can only affect one dimension at a time and usually appear transparent in either one or the other. They cannot be detected by conventional instruments due to not being "entirely real" as their existence is split between other dimensions.
	+ **Science-Magic Ascendancy**: An **Outer God** possesses abilities beyond the laws of science and/or magic, resulting in them in possession of unfathomable power and capable of incredible feats; their powers are inexplicable to either side and seemingly accomplish completely illogical/irrational actions/effects to both. The potential effects are innumerable in possibilities, as they can accomplish apparently everything imaginable with very little exposition as to how it is done.

### Personal Powers

		- **Dimensional Rift**: **Iukhuzotl** can create cracks in the very fabric of dimensions. If opened on a person they are torn apart instantly.
		- **Dimensional Travel**: Using its portals and gate, **Iukhuzotl** can travel or send others between different dimensions and universes, and cross over different planes of existence or travel across various forms of reality.
