Literature Dagon appears in John Milton's epic poems Samson Agonistes and Paradise Lost as one of the deities the Philistines worship. H. P. Lovecraft wrote a short story called "Dagon" that was highly influential on later horror and weird fiction writers In Malachi Martin's historical novel King of Kings: a Novel of the Life of David.Martin, Malachi, King of Kings: a Novel of the Life of David, Simon and Schuster, New York, 1980 Dagon is the main deity of the Philistines, orchestrating a great war against the Hebrews and their God, Adonai.  The slogan "DAGON SHALL RETURN" is a recurring theme within Simon R. Green's novels, often appearing as graffiti in places such as the Nightside and Haven In "The Magician" by Michael Scott, Dagon is portrayed as a man with fish eyes and pale skin, and is an old enemy of Scathach and a friend/chauffeur of Machiavelli. Herr Goering's artifact by Anders Fager features a statue of Dagon said to have been obtained from a Lovecraftian undersea cult. Several books in the Discworld refer back to the late Mr. Hong, who met a horrible fate (the specifics of which are frequently contradicted between tellings) after he established the Three Jolly Luck Take-Away Bar on the former site of a fish-god temple on Dagon Street. These tales are usually an incitement to not repeat his mistake, and steer clear of elder gods.  Film and television In Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the Order of Dagon were the protectors of the Key. The Dagon Sphere was an orb that weakened the god Glory. In the anime series The Big O, the robot in episode 7 is named Dagon and went by the nickname "Sea Titan". Dagon was easily destroyed by Big O's Sudden Impact. In the anime series Demonbane, Dagon was an old evil god brought back to life using the R'lyeh Text, it was easily destroyed by Demonbane but not without a long battle. In the Japanese series Mahou Sentai Magiranger, the ruthless leader of the Hades Gods (and he who seeks to finish the Divine Punishment to make sure that N Ma would return to his former power) is named Hades Wise God Dagon. In the film The Evil Dead, Dagan is one of the five Kandarian demons, and apparently their leader. He is manifested into physical form at the end of Evil Dead II and sent back through time, where he later combines with Ash's dark side to become Evil Ash in Army of Darkness, and is destroyed by Ash at the end. The demon of note in the film Devil's Harvest starring Brian Blessed is referred to as Dagan. In the film Blade Trinity, Dracula/Drake's backstory is detailed to Blade. He was born around the 5th or 4th millennium BCE in the "cradle of civilization" of ancient Sumer, Mesopotamia. He was worshipped by the Babylonians as the Vampire God "Dagon", the progenitor of the vampire race. In the animated series Ben 10: Ultimate Alien, a cult named "The Flame-keeper's Circle" worship and await the return of a squid-like alien 'knowledge-bringer' named "Dagon". Unbeknownst to the cult, he is actually an extra-dimensional demonic entity who tried to invade this dimension. He was banished during the Middle Ages back to his dimension when the immortal knight Sir George defeated him by cutting out his heart with a powerful sword, given to him by an alien. Dagon was a main antagonist of the season. In Digimon Adventure Zero Two, there is an Ultimate Digimon called Dragomon (In original Japanese language, his name is Dagomon, a reference to the same Dagon) In the Supernatural season 12 episode "Stuck in the Middle (With You)", Dagon was referred to as a "Prince/Princess of Hell," along with Azazel, Ramiel and Asmodeus. Before being killed by the Winchesters, Ramiel notes that Dagon has an interest in Lucifer's child. Dagon becomes a recurring villain in season 12 before being killed by the angel Castiel and the Nephilim son of Lucifer in "The Future". In Guillermo del Toro's 2017 film The Shape of Water several allusions are made to Samson, Delilah, and Samson tearing down the temple of the Philistines (the Temple of Dagon). In the film Colonel Strickland likens himself to Samson having his power taken away from him by a facility cleaner named Zelda Delilah, and tells her about Samson pulling down the two columns of the temple as he rips off two of his own fingers. The image of the creature in the film may be likened to the "fish-man" interpretation of Dagon. In Arcana Studio's 2017 animated feature Howard Lovecraft and the Undersea Kingdom, Dagon is featured as the ruler of the Undersea Kingdom (Y’ha-nthlei). In Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie, the film shows the king of Nineveh listening to Jonah's message and repenting along with the rest of the city after finding out that Jonah was in the belly of a whale, whom is referred to as the deified "great fish" the Ninevites worship. In a behind the scenes featurette on Big Idea Productions' analysis of the Biblical story of Jonah, Phil Vischer explained that they based this on Assyrian worship of Dagon as a fish god, so as to explain the Ninevites' repentance as understanding that Dagon as the "great fish" was subordinate to God.
