Chthon (Quake)/Gewsbumpz dude

## Summary:

**Chthon** is the guardian of Shub-Niggurath, and the final boss of episode one, *Dimension of the Doomed*, where the player fights them in order to receive the Rune of Earth Magic. Not much is known about him apart from him being an Elder God that, in the lore of the *Dimension of the Machine*, is the greatest threat to all known worlds.

Physically, Chthon is a freakish behemoth with a vertical mouth filled with jagged teeth, covered in spikes and seemingly has lava inside his body.

## Information:

**Name**: Chthon, The Demon of Fire and Darkness, The Master of the Underworld, The Volcano God

**Age**: Unknown

**Gender**: None

**Source**: Quake

**Power Scale**: **2-C** | At least **2-C**, likely **2-B**

**Classification**: Eldritch God

**Notable Abilities**: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Large Size (Type 0, likely 8; The small part of him we see of him alone in *Quake* is far larger than the Ranger. Comparable to the other Elder Gods like Cthalha, who are endless in size), Bodily Weaponry (Type 1), Eldritch Physiology (Elder Gods are powerful cosmic beings with forms and motivations beyond human comprehension), Magma Manipulation and Explosion Manipulation (Can launch balls of magma that explode on impact), limited Invulnerability (Is immune to death via conventional weaponry), Self-Sustenance (Types 1 and 3; Demons can survive in the vacuum of space and are tireless beings), Reality Corruption (Passive. Demons passively corrupt reality with their presence, converting it into a reality similar to Hell. This also leads to the creation of Hellgrowths and the infection of the atmosphere), Immortality (Type 2; Demons in general can survive having portions of their flesh blasted off, exposing their internal organs and bones), Technology Manipulation (Passive. The demons of Hell subvert technology with their presence), Acausality (Type 4; Demons originate from Hell, a realm that is unlimited by time and space), Soul Manipulation (Type 1; Demons are consistently implied to be capable of eating souls, and are capable of touching objects of a similar nature like Spiritual Armor), Non-Physical Interaction, BFR (Type 3; Beings that are killed by demons get sent to Hell), Time Travel

**Energy Scale**: **Universe level** (Is the guardian of Shub-Niggurath, meaning that out of all her forces, she decided that Chthon was the best option as her bodyguard. This would make him stronger than Armagon, who is the master of a realm and his death caused it to collapse. Said realm is described as trans-dimensional and seemingly contains an endless void. Is an Elder God, powerful cosmic beings beyond human comprehension, horrors that lurk behind time and space) | At least **Universe level**, possibly **higher** (Became far stronger than before. In *Dimension of the Machine*, Chthon is said to be the greatest threat to all known worlds. Not only entailing that he can destroy the cosmology of *Quake*, which consists of a thousand dimensions, but that he is stronger than every other threat the Ranger had faced so far. This not only includes Armagon, but the Temporal Energy Converter from *Dissolution of Eternity*. The Temporal Energy Converter was a machine that was not only remaking the universe into a new existence of glorious darkness, a world of chaos, violence and pain, but was molding the timeline, shifting reality. The Temporal Energy Converter is also described as an evil that can shroud universes)

**Speed Scale**: **Immeasurable** (Can keep up with the Ranger, who scales above the Overlord and his Wrath minions, who can wander through time. The Ranger can also keep up with the Ancient Guardians, which are linked throughout all of time) | **Immeasurable**

**Strength Scale**: **Unknown**, likely **Infinite** Lifting Strength (Scales to Elder Gods like Cthalha who is described as being endless and would logically be able to carry her own weight) | **Unknown**, likely **Infinite** (Stronger than before)

**Resilience Scale**: **Universe Scale** | At least **Universe level**, likely **Multiverse Scale**. His various powers make him harder to kill.

* **Resistances**: Magma and Heat (Can casually sit in lava. Demons are also able to survive in absolute zero temperatures), Fire, Radiation, Poison, Diseases, Acid and Corrosion Inducement (Lesser demons like the ones from *DOOM* are unaffected by the Cyber Mancubus' biotoxins, which is a corrosive substance. Demons are also unharmed by being inside pools of radioactive waste. Demons can naturally live in the Blood Swamps, a festering bog of disease and acidic rain. Demons are able to survive on Mars during the events of *DOOM 64*, which was infested with apocalyptic levels of radiation), Mind Manipulation (Stronger demons can resist the Arch-vile's mind-based powers), Ice Manipulation/Absolute Zero (Comparable to the demons from *DOOM*, who can survive in VEGA's absolute zero cooling systems), Spatial Manipulation, Time Manipulation and Dimension Manipulation (Demons naturally exist in Hell, a realm unlimited by the boundaries of space, time or dimensions), Information Analysis (Elder Gods are powerful cosmic beings with forms and motivations beyond human comprehension), Immunity to Soul Manipulation (Demons don't have souls)

**Arsenal**: None

**Intelligence**: Unknown (Very little is known about the Elder Gods when it comes to intelligence, let alone Chthon)

**Weaknesses**: Electricity (Electricity is the only kind of conventional weaponry that can kill him), unknown otherwise.

**Stamina**: **Limitless** (Demons in the Idverse are tireless beings with limitless aggression)

**Range**: **Tens of Meters** physically, **Unknown** with powers

**Key**: **Quake** | **Dimension of the Machine**
