Zhar and Lloigor
Zhar and Lloigornos (AKA: "Zhar and Lloigor", "The Star-Treaders", "The Twin Obscenities") are from August Derleth's "The Lair of the Star-Spawn".
Lloigornos, also known as Lloigor, should not be confused with the Mythos race, Lloigor.
In the Mythos
The thing that crouched in the weird green dusk was a living mass of shuddering horror, a ghastly mountain of sensate, quivering flesh, whose tentacles, far-flung in the dim reaches of the subterranean cavern, emitted a strange humming sound, while from the depths of the creature's body came a weird and horrific ululation.
— August Derleth, "The Lair of the Star-Spawn"
Zhar and Lloigornos dwell together as a ghastly, writing mounting of quivering, tentacled flesh, imprisoned and buried in a dead city under the Plateau of Sung (or Tsang) in China.
Cult
There seems to have been a cult of Zhar and Lloigornos in what is China today, with those entities now laying buried and entombed in a dead (and likely prehistoric or even pre-human) underground city in the Plateau of Sung/Tsang, maintained today in rudimentary form by the Tcho-Tchos, who seem to have preserved and enhanced all of the most unsavory and nightmarish elements of the original cult.
A cult dedicated to these entities, called the Brotherhood of the Star-Treader, was active in Toronto, Ontario Canada, apparently inspired by a Bowdlerized and expurgated version of the Tcho-Tcho cult.
