## Cthulhu and Lovecraftian Mythos

The Cthulhu and lovecraft mythos plays major roles in the Campaigns, especially in parts II and III.

### **Introduction**

The Cthulhu Mythos encompasses the  shared elements, characters, settings, and themes found  in the works of H.P. Lovecraft and associated horror  fiction writers. Together, they form the mythos that  authors writing in the Lovecraftian milieu have used — and continue to use — to craft their stories. The term  itself was coined by the writer August Derleth. Although  this legendarium is also sometimes called the Lovecraft  Mythos, most notably by the Lovecraft scholar S.T. Joshi,  it has long since moved beyond Lovecraft's original  conception.

The Mythos usually takes place in fictional New England  towns and is centered on the Great Old Ones, a fearsome  assortment of ancient, powerful deities who came from  outer space and once ruled the Earth. They are presently  quiescent, having fallen into a death-like sleep at some

time in the distant past. The most well-known of these  beings is Cthulhu, who currently lies "dead [but]  dreaming" in the submerged city of R'lyeh somewhere in  the Southeast Pacific Ocean. One day, "when the stars  are right", R'lyeh will rise from beneath the sea, and  Cthulhu will awaken and wreak havoc on the earth.

Despite his notoriety, Cthulhu is not the most powerful  of the deities, nor is he the theological center of the  mythos. Instead, this position is held by the demon-god  Azathoth, a mindless but all-powerful Outer God, ruling  from his cosmically centered court. Nonetheless, his  avatar Nyarlathotep, who fulfills Azathoth's random  urges, has intervened more frequently and more directly  in human affairs than any other Outer god. He has also  displayed more blatant contempt for humanity,  especially his own worshippers, than almost any other  Lovecraftian deity.

The essence in the Mythos is that the human world and  our role in it are an illusion. Humanity is living inside a  fragile bubble of perception, unaware of what lies behind  the curtains or even of the curtains themselves, and our  seeming dominance over the world is illusory and  ephemeral. We are blessed in that we do not realize  what lies dormant in the unknown lurking places on

Earth and beyond. As Lovecraft famously begins his short  story, The Call of Cthulhu, "The most merciful thing in the  world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to  correlate all its contents."

Now and then, individuals can, by accident or  carelessness, catch a glimpse of, or even confront the  ancient extraterrestrial entities which the mythology  centers around, usually with fatal consequences. Other  times, they encounter by their non-human worshippers  and servants, whose existence shatters the worldview of  those who stumble across them. Human followers exist  as well. Because of the limitations of the human mind,  these deities' appearances are so overwhelming that  they can often drive a person insane. They are portrayed  as neither good or evil; within the Mythos, these are  concepts invented by our species to explain what truly  inexplicable intentions and actions are.

The Call of Cthulhu was the premiere story in which  Lovecraft realized and made full use of these themes,  which is why his mythology would later be named after  the creature in this story, as it defined a new direction in  both his authorship and in the horror fiction genre. This  is also the first and only story by Lovecraft where humans

and one of the cosmic entities called the Great Old Ones  come face to face.

In his final years of writing, Lovecraft used fewer  supernatural elements to represent the dangers which  threaten humanity. Instead, he gradually replaced them  with non-supernatural cosmic beings and phenomena,  based on principles outside the laws of nature in our own  space-time continuum. This sci-fi trend particularly  becomes clear in works such as At the Mountains of  Madness.

new elements have constantly been added to the  mythology after Lovecraft's death, including works by  others as well as stories by Lovecraft himself that were  not originally included in the mythos. Other short stories  written by Lovecraft are included because of references  to such elements as Necromonicon, cosmic terror and  non-human species, despite lacking direct encounters  with any of these things. The basic origin of what Derleth  would name the Cthulhu Mythos can be traced back to a  collection of seven stories with great impact which form  the main fundament of Lovecraft's final and major  fictional work:

The Call of Cthulhu (February 1928)

The Dunwich Horror (April 1929)

The Whisperer in Darkness (August 1931)

At the Mountains of Madness (March-April 1936)  The Shadow Over Innsmouth (April 1936)

The Shadow Out of Time (June 1936)

The Haunter of the Dark (December 1936)

Of these seven, "The Whisperer in Darkness", At the  Mountains of Madness and The Shadow Out of Time  involves alien species with superior alien technology and  are closest to science fiction, containing Lovecraft's  typical atmosphere of horror, and reflect his materialistic  atheism and the direction he was heading at the end of  his life. The Shadow Over Innsmouth stands more or less  alone as the origin of the threats, which in this case can  be traced to the hostile depths of the ocean rather than  the darkness between the stars, but otherwise shows the  classical elements and pattern; the three remaining tales  can best be described as dark fantasy. Combined, they  cover all of Lovecraft's universe of mind-numbing horror,  cosmic beings, outer gods and hidden dangers.

**Deities:** Deities is a name used to refer to a group  comprised of the Elder Gods, Great Old Ones, Great  Ones, Outer Gods and a few other unique entities.

**The Outer Gods:** The Outer Gods are the main  antagonistic race of the Cthulhu Mythos. They are the  most powerful entities in the universe and are to the  Great Old Ones what the latter are to humanity. This  makes the Outer Gods so utterly alien and vast that no  human could even dream of beginning to understand  them: though many have tried (at the cost of their  sanity). There are 40 known Outer Gods.

The Outer Gods serve a cosmic function that the Great  Old Ones do not, and although they may be worshiped as  gods by madmen and heretics, they care little for such  things and are dedicated to their tasks without question.  Although they rule over the universe, they do so in a  manner that humans would consider chaotic at best and  are totally uncaring of the plight of others.

Those who seek aid from the Outer Gods are considered  blessed if the entities ignore them. If, by slim chance, the  Outer Gods do decide to aid a foolish mortal, they are  doomed to an eternity of unimaginable torture and  sanity-shattering events, not so much due to any malice

on the Outer Gods' part, but because humans simply are  not capable of grasping the nature or motivations of  these horrific entities.

### **The Great Old Ones**

The Great Old Ones are the  secondary antagonistic race of the Cthulhu Mythos. They

are a pantheon of demonic extraterrestrial gods that are  more known amongst mortals than the Outer Gods, but  are infinitely less powerful

Regardless of this fact, the Great Old Ones are  completely invincible in comparison to humanity, and  their alien nature is so utterly bizarre that it inspires  madness in all who gaze upon them.

Cataclysmic but not necessarily malevolent, the Great  Old Ones have the power to end the world on a whim,  but never actively seek the destruction of humanity.  Perhaps it is due to their vast power — to a Great Old  One, humanity just is not worth the trouble of  extermination.

Of course, on the other hand, a Great Old One could  simply choose to destroy entire civilizations for no other  reason than because it felt like it. A Great Old One has no  care if its actions cause the deaths of thousands, and if a  Great Old One should become hungry or bored, it sees  no wrong in randomly torturing or devouring innocents.

The Great Old Ones are amoral rather than malicious, in  keeping with the sentiment that the universe itself is  alien and uncaring. This, by no means, lessens their  danger; it arguably only serves to increase it.

According to Lovecraft lore, the Great Old Ones were at  war with whom they called the "Pain Lords", the Elder  Gods (sometimes referred to as "Elder Deities"), cosmic  beings who have mostly human-like appearance and they  are benevolent in nature. Not only that, they were  exalted by many human cultures in different parts of  Earth.

### **The Elder Gods**

The Elder Gods, also referred to as the  Elder Deities, have mostly human-like appearance and  they are benevolent in nature. They used to be

worshipped by ancient humans. Nowadays, they are  remembered as the gods in just about every ancient  race.

The Great Old Ones refer to the Elder Gods as the "Pain  Lords".

The Elder Gods are said to be the former lords of the  Great Old Ones. While some have specific appearances,  like Nodens, most of them are described as "terrific  Towers of Flame".

They are said to rule in the star Glyu-Vho, from which  they watch the earth eternally.

It is said that both the Earth and the Elder Gods originate  from a nameless dimension in which they ruled supreme.  They created Azathoth and Ubbo-Sathla as slaves, so  they would create a race of servants.

Ubbo-Sathla, in an act of rebellion, stole the Elder  Records, a library of tablets that contained various  knowledge of the Elder Gods. Ubbo-Sathla invoked the  powers he learned from the tablets, and thus the Earth  fell from its original plane into the actual universe.

Not long after, the Elder Gods entered the universe and  instaured their power in Betelgeuse. They broke into a

war with the Great Old Ones, standing victorious and  imprisoning them in the Earth or other planets and  dimensions.

It is prophecised in the Necronomicon that the Great Old  Ones shall break free when "the Cycle returneth", and  the Elder Gods shall war with them once more.

Very little is known about the Elder Gods, but they  appear as pillars of flame. They are mysterious and very  powerful.

### **Great Ones**

The Great Ones or Other Gods are the so called "gods" of The Dreamlands, but they are not as  powerful as the Great Old Ones and are not even as  intelligent as most humans. However, they are protected  by the Outer Gods, especially Nyarlathotep. While they  once lived on peaks across the world, they were driven  off lower mountains by the spread of humanity until they  had to leave Itera entirely, leaving only a mark on Mount.  Ngranek.

The Great Ones now rule from their hidden fortress of  Kadath, whose location in time and space is unknown. As  well as occasionally returning to white capped Thurai,  Lerion and Hatheg-Kla on cloud ships under the cover of  a light mist, they abandoned Kadath for a brief period for  the "sunset city" that Randolph Carter conjured in his  dreams.

### **Great Old Ones Descriptions**

**Great Old Ones Descriptions:**
**Cthulhu:** Cthulhu is a cosmic being of unimaginable  power. He is miles tall and resides in the sea. He is  described as a massive figure, vaguely humanoid with  tentacles sprouting from his head, He has enormous  wings. He is a Great Old One.

Cthulhu was born on the planet Vhoorl, located in the  23rd nebula. He traveled to the star Zoth where he  spawned his offspring. Along with his children and the  Star Spawn of Cthulhu, Cthulhu travelled to Saturn and  then to Earth. They landed on a continent in the Pacific  Ocean and built the city R'lyeh. Cthulhu received resistance from the Elder Things who also lived on the  planet. They waged war for the planet Earth until a truce  was made. Cthulhu then went into a deep hibernation  within R'lyeh.

Humanity then evolved on Earth and Cthulhu  communicated with several through dreams, resulting in  the Cult of Cthulhu. Disaster then struck R'lyeh, sinking it  into the ocean. R'lyeh has risen from the ocean for brief  amounts of time. However, it is fated that R'lyeh will rise  from the ocean permanently and Cthulhu will retake the  world

Cthulhu has built up many cultists as followers over the  years he has spent in R’lyeh. He communicates with  people through dreams and converts them to his  malicious will. There are potentially thousands of  Cthulhu’s cultists around the world. They are known as  “The Cult of Cthulhu”.

**R’lyeh:** R'lyeh is a sunken city located deep under the  Pacific Ocean and is where the godlike being Cthulhu of  the immortal Great Old Ones is buried. R'lyeh's bizarre  architecture is characterized by its non-Euclidean  geometry.

The city is a panorama of “vast angles and stone surfaces  too great to belong to anything right and proper for this  earth, and impious with horrible images and disturbing  hieroglyphs”. The geometry of R'lyeh is “abnormal, non Euclidean, and loathsomely redolent of spheres and  dimensions apart from ours.”

While not as powerful as many other Great Old Ones and  being dwarfed in scale by the Outer Gods that he serves,  Cthulhu is still a very powerful entity. Being near godlike

to humans, Cthulhu is immortal and has great strength  and can endure great amounts of damage and can only  be killed by a near-omnipotent power. Using his wings,  he is capable of true flight. He possesses vast intelligence

and awareness, as he knows all that is occurring in the  universe at once and he has great psychic abilities as he  can communicate telepathically.

Arguably, Cthulhu's most notable trait is the fact that he,  alongside the rest of his kin, cannot be comprehended by

humans; when a human so much as looks at Cthulhu,  they will almost certainly be driven mad by his visage.  Cthulhu was also able to create a city out of nowhere.

### **Outer Gods**

**Azathoth:** Azathoth is also known as the Blind Idiot God,  the Daemon Sultan, and the Nuclear Chaos. He is a  cosmic and boundless deity of colossal proportion and  the great and all-powerful ruler of the Outer Gods. He is  omnipotent beyond the power of the Great Old Ones,  such as Cthulhu, and even his fellow Outer Gods,  including Yog-Sothoth and Yibb-Tstll, and all other beings  — and is the sole most powerful being in the entire  mythos.

Azathoth is seen as the all-powerful creator of all of  existence. All of reality is merely a part of Azathoth's  dream, unknowingly created by itself. When, not if,  Azathoth awakens, all things will end, once and for all,  and all will once again be Azathoth.

Azathoth's precise appearance is only hinted at  throughout the Mythos, and indeed may be unknowable

by mortal beings. It is described as occupying a position  outside of the universe, where it is attended by a cohort  of alien servants who continually bathe it with the  sounds of pipes and drums. Though it is the ruler and  creator of all existence, it is described as "a blind idiot  god", oblivious to the universe and the beings within it.

Azathoth is the omnipotent "Blind Idiot God" or "Nuclear  Chaos". It is said to be stuck in an endless slumber and is  served upon by countless lesser deities that play a  maddening tune on innumerable drums and flutes to  keep Azathoth from awakening, for if the great "Daemon  Sultan" should awaken, even for a few moments, all of  existence is said to be doomed as it will signal the  ultimate destruction of existence as we know it.

As well as its innumerable drummers, Azathoth is tended  upon by horrendous dancers and is said to float in the  very center of the universe in the center of chaos itself  (and hence "nuclear" may actually refer to its dwelling at  the nucleus of the universe). No mortal has yet entered  this realm and survived, and it is doubtful that any who  did would wish to continue living, as Azathoth held the  same insanity-inducing aura as the other Lovecraftian  horrors, despite it being deep in slumber.

Azathoth is technically "God", and additionally the "Blind  Idiot God" who is mindless and unconscious but is omnipotent and the most powerful being of all. He  created all of existence as part of his dream and is not  even aware of it. Should he awaken, all of existence  would be no more, and all would once again be  Azathoth.

He cannot be destroyed as the concept of destruction is  merely his dream, and he exists beyond the concept of  speed, strength, mortals, and the Outer Gods, as they are  all merely part of his dream. Despite being mindless,  Azathoth does have a will of his own and commands his  messenger and avatar, Nyarlathotep.

The Nameless Mist (offspring)

Darkness (offspring)

Tsathoggua (great-great-grandson)

**Nyarlathotep:** Nyarlathotep, also known by many other  names, most notably the Crawling Chaos, is Azathoth’s son. He is unquestionably the cruelest and vilest entity in  the entire mythos.

He is an evil Outer God who is seen as a shapeshifting  agent of madness, chaos and ruin who serves the other  Outer Gods, specifically his father, Azathoth, the Blind  Idiot God, to whom he is subservient, fulfilling his wishes  without question as his messenger and emissary, though  he sometimes enjoys manipulating his master.

He often visits Itera and enjoys bringing madness and  suffering to inferior beings (humans are among them).  He spends his time manipulating and deceiving humans,  or driving them insane, for his own sadistic pleasure. It is  said that he will be the god who brings destruction to the  world.

Nyarlathotep was spawned from Azathoth himself. His  siblings include Bärkatlànm, the Darkness and the  Nameless Mist.

He serves Azathoth as his messenger and as the soul of  the Outer Gods, though Nyarlathotep usually interferes  with mortal affairs at will.

Nyarlathotep would go on to mate with Yhoundeh and  spawn his sons Ugga-Naach and the Abominations of the  Ancients through a ritual that involved Nyarlathotep  raping a woman who then gave birth to his children.

Nyarlathotep is described as a master shapeshifter with  over a thousand forms, many of which are monstrous  and capable of driving mortals insane, a trait common to  Lovecraftian monsters. However, unlike many of the  other Outer Gods, he also frequently takes on a human  form as an enigmatic male fashioned on an ancient  Egyptian Pharaoh.

Unlike the other Outer Gods, who are amoral and  emotionless gods, Nyarlathotep has a very different and  "human" character, that of an extremely cruel and evil  monster.

He enjoys driving humans insane and finds the act to be  more enjoyable than simple death and destruction and  is, as stated before, a more human-like evil than the  other Outer Gods.

Nyarlathotep frequently employs deception and  manipulation, even propaganda, to achieve his goals and  often mingles with humans in order to seal their doom.

These traits, combined with his ability to walk freely  amongst mortal life, may make him the most unpleasant  and terrible of all Lovecraftian monsters, as he averts  their unknowable and amoral nature, and it has been  suggested by some that Nyarlathotep may be the  creature that will ultimately destroy the world.

While nowhere near as powerful as his creator Azathoth,  nor the cosmic entity Yog-Sothoth, he remains to be an  Outer God and as such Nyarlathotep is immortal and  incredibly powerful while also being highly complex to be  understood. It is believed that Nyarlathotep can control  mystic energies of the cosmos to varying effects at an  undefined level, both cosmic and demonic as well.

He can manifest as a vast multitude of avatars. While the  god's near-boundless intelligence is behind all of them,  each avatar varies greatly in appearance, power and  purpose. Some avatars are even worshiped as their own  beings, the followers unaware that it is merely part of a  much greater being.

He is also capable of shapeshifting and can take the form  of a human man. Like Cthulhu, his mere presence  induces madness and insanity to mortals such as humans  and can communicate with them via telepathy. He is also

able to freely travel across every plane of existence and  exists beyond the "archetypal infinity".

He has bult up a massive following of humans and other  races, whom he has enslaved with his godlike powers.

Nyarlathotep acts as the messenger of the other Outer  Gods and seems to hold disloyalty to any particular  being, instead serving them everything in some fashion,  though he is said to be especially loyal towards Azathoth,  whose wishes he will fulfill without any questions.

**Family:**

Azathoth (father)

The Nameless Mist (sibling)

Darkness (sibling)

**Yog Sothoth:** Yog Sothoth is an unfathomably powerful  deity and one of the most powerful of the Outer Gods, a  race of ancient deities who wield great power, size and  intelligence, equal and possibly even superior to

Azathoth himself, as well as the largest and most  intelligent—dwarfing the famous Cthulhu in the same  scale that Cthulhu dwarfs humanity, and is a truly cosmic  menace that is beyond mortal comprehension.

Yog-Sothoth is the embodiment of all of time and space  across an essentially infinite number of space-time  continuums. For all intents and purpose, he is connected  to the multiverse. He is the grandfather of Cthulhu and  the grandson of Azathoth.

Yog-Sothoth is not only an all-knowing, all-seeing, and  (supposedly) all-powerful being, but he also, like the  fellow Outer God Nyarlathotep, has displayed to possess  numerous avatars, such as the Lurker at the Threshold,  and the spouse of Shub-Niggurath. He was born from the  Nameless Mist, one of the three offspring of Azathoth  alongside the Darkness and Nyarlathotep.

Yog-Sothoth is a limitless cosmic horror who relates to all  of space and time yet is locked away from mainstream  reality. The monstrous deity sees all and knows all and  can impart knowledge to anyone foolish enough to seek  his favor, which often required human sacrifice (or  worse) and would ultimately bring calamity and ruin to  the would-be-follower.

Like many Lovecraftian deities, Yog-Sothoth has several  avatars and even followers (such as the Chorazos Cult) by  which to expand his influence. Although he is classed as  "evil", he is technically an amoral character who is simply  beyond our understanding of petty morality or sanity.

Like many Lovecraftian gods, Yog-Sothoth is thoroughly  indescribable and unconceivable, way beyond human  comprehension, and those in his presence can only  perceive an approximation. Yog-Sothoth visually  manifests as a mass of glowing orbs that continuously  merge, regrow and break apart, with eyes or tendrils in some versions.

He is shown as a large creature with eyes and tendrils.  Whatever the case, Yog-Sothoth is among the most  eldritch and incomprehensible of even Lovecraftian  deities; far surpassing all the Great Old Ones and even  other Outer Gods, only matched in sheer power by fellow  supreme Outer Gods like Azathoth.

2nd only to Azathoth, Yog-Sothoth possesses Nigh Omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence, and is  the guardian of the gate, and if Azathoth is awakened he  is erased as well with the world.

Yog-Sothoth is coterminous with all time and space yet is  supposedly locked outside of the universe we inhabit.  Yog-Sothoth knows all and sees all. To "please" this deity  could bring knowledge of many things. However, like  most beings in the mythos, to see it or learn too much  about it is to court disaster. The favor of the god requires  a human sacrifice or eternal servitude.

Yog-Sothoth is the offspring of the Nameless Mists,  which were born of the deity Azathoth. Yog-Sothoth  mated with Shub-Niggurath to produce the twin deities  Nug and Yeb, while Nug sired Cthulhu through  parthenogenesis. On one occasion, Yog-Sothoth  impregnates a mortal woman, Lavinia Whateley, who  then gives birth to twin sons: the humanoid Wilbur  Whateley, and his more monstrous unnamed brother.

**Aforgomon:** Aforgomon is an obscure avatar of Yog Sothoth. He was revered by many cultures: past, present,  and future as the God of Time because of his  preternatural ability to manipulate time and space. Little  is known of this being's appearance because he only  reveals himself to those who have angered him.  However, it is known that he is accompanied by a  blinding light. He is the mortal enemy of Xexanoth.

**Umr at-Tawil:** Umr at-Tawil also spelled Tawil At-U'mr or  Tawil-at'Umr, is described as an avatar of Yog-Sothoth.  He presides over the timeless halls beyond the Gate of  the Silver Key and the strange, near-omnipotent Ancient  Ones that dwell there. He is described as the silhouette  of a man behind a strange, shimmering veil. He is one of  very few apparently benign Lovecraftian Great Old Ones  who does not cause insanity in those who view him.

**The Unnamed Mist:** The Nameless Mist is an Outer God.  It is the progenitor of several other cosmic entities,  including the Outer God Yog-Sothoth. It is older than  everything except Azathoth (its creator) and the  Unnamed Darkness (its sibling).

Its powers include possible omnipresence, reality  warping, causality, spacetime manipulation, immortality,  and incorporeality.

**The Darkness:** The Darkness is one of the offspring of  Azathoth. The Darkness is an Outer God, and the  progenitor of Shub-Niggurath. The Darkness is  sometimes known as "Magnum Tenebrosum" or "The

Unnamed Darkness" as a parallel to its sibling, The  Unnamed Mist.

**Yibb-Tstll:** Yibb-Tstll is an obscure entity who is one of  the Outer Gods from the Cthulhu Mythos.

However, despite the relative obscurity of the beast,  Yibb-Tstll enjoys a considerable amount of power and is  said to be able to see all things in the universe at all time,  and even to see through time and space, making it so  wise that only the omnipotent Yog-Sothoth can surpass it  in terms of wisdom. Yibb-Tstll is even once called "The  Patient One".

Yibb-Tstll's blood is alien and can be utilized as a weapon  known as "The Black", which takes the form of black  snowflakes that stick to a victim and smothers them.

Often envisioned as an immobile dark mass of tentacles  with a deformed head, detached eyes and large bat  wings under which countless Nightgaunts suckle from  innumerable breasts (heavily implying this monstrosity is  either female or (more likely) a hermaphrodite).

Like many Lovecraftian horrors including her fellow  Outer Gods, the mere sight of this creature can drive  humans insane and even thinking too hard on the  monstrous being is said to attract its malevolent intent.

**Cxaxukluth:** Cxaxukluth is an Outer God and is the  offspring or "son" of Azathoth by spontaneous fission.  His progeny are Hziulquoigmnzhah and Ghisguth. He is  the grandfather of Tsathoggua, Cxaxukluth is said to be  superior to Nyarlathotep, The Ultimate Gods, and The  Nameless Mist which is the creator of Yog-Sothoth.

Cxaxukluth dwells on Yuggoth. His immediate family lived  with him for a while, but soon left because of his  cannibalistic appetites.

**Aboth:** Aboth is an Outer God and is often described as a  "horrid, dark gray protean mass" that serves as a source  of all "miscreation and abomination". Like Outer Goddesses, Abhoth is constantly spawning obscene  monsters into existence, who are often simply grabbed  by their parents and devoured again. The children who  manage to survive, usually abandon their parents and  wander off.

Like most Outer Gods, Abhoth is often beyond human comprehension, though he is known to be at least of a  twisted and cynical mind, like Nyarlathotep.

He is currently residing in the cavern of Y'quaa beneath  Mount Voormithadreth, and like Cthulhu, he can  influence others telepathically from a distance.

**Aiueb Gnshal:** Aiueb Gnshal (The Eyes Between Worlds)  is a mysterious Outer God which has made his home in a  long-lost temple in Bhutan. He appears as a formless  black void with seven orb-like eyes. It is mainly  worshipped by Ghouls who worship him in a defiled cult  spoken of in the Cambuluc Scrolls of the wizard Lang-Fu.  Looking into the eyes of this horrid being, after a  disgusting and awful ritual, will allow you to see into the  Court of Azathoth.

**The Blackness from the Stars:** The Blackness from the  Stars is an immobile blob of living, sentient darkness,  torn from the primal fabric of the cosmos at the center of  the universe. It is distinguishable in darkness only as  vaguely shimmering oily pitch. Although intelligent, it  speaks no known language and ignores attempts to  communicate

**D’endrrah:** D'endrrah is a shape shifting Outer God who  has a heavy hunger for worlds. It often assumes in the  form of a gigantic squid-like monster or a heavy dark  smoke of organic matter with millions of teeth that  wanders endlessly to devour any world it finds  throughout the cosmos.

However, he was eventually destroyed by Cthulhu when  he threatened to devour earth sometime before the  great Egyptian times. Stories are told by the Egyptian god  Rah (god of the sun) who fought this monster which is  known as Apep on his fly chariot.

**Ghroth:** Ghroth, also known as the The Harbinger, is a  massive, planet-sized Outer God. Ghroth appears like a  rust-colored moon with a single gigantic red eye that it  can closes in order to avoid detection. He is known to  drift through the universe while singing its siren song The  Music of the Spheres. This song is a call to awaken all

Great Old Ones and Outer Gods that are slumbering on a  planet that is passed by Ghroth. This often leads to said  planet's destruction.

**Haiogh-Yai:** Haiogh-Yai is a monstrous, amorphous,  whirling entity who took his abode within a wandering  black hole called Vix'ni-Aldru in the Elder Lore. It also  hosts a city made of titanic blocks, inhabited by  mysterious creatures resembling either worms or lizards  (Servitors of Haiogh-Yai).

**Huitloxopetl:** Huitloxopetl is the false lure or trickster. He  is described as an angel who lure dead souls into his  realm (The False Haven) which the souls believe they are  led to the afterlife but are facing a horrible truth and that  is a pit of utter darkness. However, his true form is a  demon with four squid hands, horns, wings, goat-like legs  and head.

In the pit there lies the unknown who hungers for souls.

**The Hydra:** The Hydra is one of the Outer Gods which  resides in an alternate dimension and is the subject of a  ritual which allows people to perform astral projection,  but at the cost of invoking the dread Hydra, who possess  the person performing the ritual and forces them to do  its bidding.

The Hydra is described as a vampiric entity of a kind,  although it feeds "not on the blood of its victims but on  their heads — their brains...", increasing its power by  devouring their brains, causing their faces to appear  within the Hydra. It appears an enormous sea of black  ooze with a multitude of heads sprouting from it, some  human, some alien, a new one appearing once another  victim's head is devoured by the Hydra. The heads  appear to be "sobbing and grimacing, as if in great  agony".

The Hydra is worshipped by a human cult responsible for  the creation of the On the Sending Out of the Soul astral  projection pamphlet. Not much is known about the cult

beyond the fact that they use the pamphlet to trick  people into performing sacrifices for the Hydra.

It’s human cult often distributes a pamphlet named On  the Sending Out of the Soul detailing how to perform  astral projection. When followed, the formula always  works as expected, harmlessly transporting the user in  astral form to whatever destination is desired.

However, unbeknownst to the user, the ritual also brings  the subject into contact with the Hydra, which then  merges with the individual's astral self, using it as a host.

The traveler is then forced to bring somebody to the  Hydra and decapitate them. The head is then absorbed  by the Hydra and appears within it, the Hydra gaining  more power from devouring the victim's brain.  Afterwards, the astral traveler is returned safely to his or  her original body, suffering no ill effects, except perhaps  receiving a terrible shock from the grisly scene so  witnessed.
