**Dagon**, the eldritch ruler of the Deep Ones, an aquatic humanoid species indigenous to Earth's oceans, is known as Urgo-Hem by the denizens of Lemuria. Dagon is also recognized as the partner of Mother Hydra and is regarded as an integral member of the Great Old Ones.

The Esoteric Order of Dagon, a clandestine cult situated in Innsmouth, reveres and worships this powerful deity.

## Overview

Dagon, akin to many of the Great Old Ones, commands a substantial cult following comprising humans who partake in ritualistic ceremonies enabling them to join his kind and be forever immersed in darkness.

Dagon, a colossal Deep One, has been a subject of ancient texts for ages. He is revered as a deity by a fervent cult of humans and Deep Ones. Despite appearing to be immortal, his enduring existence may be linked to his interactions with the enigmatic Star Spawn. These extraterrestrial entities occasionally select formidable individuals from various species for reasons shrouded in mystery, nurturing and empowering them.

It's possible that more than one colossal Deep One, sometimes mistaken for the original Dagon, has existed over time. Deep Ones continue to grow gradually after reaching maturity, given they have access to sufficient sustenance. Ancient carvings related to Dagon depict scenes of several gigantic Deep Ones engaging in combat with whales.

## Appearance

Dagon is portrayed as an enormous Deep One, towering at approximately 30 stories in height. However, similar to other Eldritch entities, it possesses the ability to assume any form it wishes.

## History

Dagon and Mother Hydra have more or less been established as the official rulers of the Deep Ones, though Mother Hydra seems to gain a slightly larger following.

Belphegor's influence and following seem to be eclipsed by the notoriety of another entity known as Father Dagon, who is a central figure in the "Esoteric Order of Dagon." This cult holds significant power in Innsmouth and serves as the primary antagonists in the story involving Jack Walters. Jack's efforts to expose their activities and escape from Innsmouth set off a chain of events.

Upon escaping Innsmouth, Jack manages to alert multiple government agencies, including the FBI, Coast Guard, and Marines, about the sinister happenings in the town. A joint assault is swiftly organized to confront the Esoteric Order of Dagon. However, during this operation, the Coast Guard ship "The Urania," on which Jack is traveling, comes under attack by the Deep Ones, loyal followers of Father Dagon.

In a dramatic turn of events, Father Dagon himself emerges from the depths of the ocean to engage the ship in a boss battle. Jack must utilize the ship's main cannon to fire missiles into Dagon's face while evading the powerful attacks he unleashes. As Jack continues to damage Dagon with repeated shots, the mighty entity begins to weaken. However, in a final, desperate act, Father Dagon drags the ship, along with any surviving crew members, into the abyss with him.

This thrilling and intense encounter with Father Dagon and the Deep Ones adds a layer of suspense and action to the storyline, as Jack and the ship's crew must battle against overwhelming odds to survive this supernatural confrontation.
