Spectrum: Yamath

'''Cthugha''' is a fictional deity in the [[Cthulhu Mythos]] genre of horror fiction, the creation of [[August Derleth]]. He first appeared in Derleth's short story "The House on Curwen Street" ([[1944 in literature|1944]]).

==Description==

<blockquote>
He hung motionless in a black, forbidding sky and at first thought he was suspended somewhere in the intrasolar deeps much closer to the Sun than on Earth. But then he realized that the dully gleaming orb which floated before his dreaming vision was not the Sun. Ugly dark blotches mottled the dull orange surface and great columns of spinning flame arced around the rim.... <nowiki>[He watched]</nowiki> the titan sunspots drift slowly across the hideous disc, at times growing larger and merging into great gaping chasms in the fiery atmosphere, while at others dwindling almost to nothingness.... Something was stirring deep within that fiery atmosphere; something monstrous that roared an insatiable anger against the chains of the [[Elder God]] which had bound it there for an eternity.... Unable to resist, utterly powerless to control his movements, he was diving headlong towards that ravening chaos, that age-old intelligence which was Cthugha.
 —John Glasby, "The Dark Mirror"
</blockquote>

Cthugha resembles a giant ball of fire. He is served by the ''Flame Creatures of Cthugha''. [[Fthaggua]], regent of the [[fire vampires]], may be his progeny. He has at least one other known progeny, the being known as [[Aphoom-Zhah]].

Several cults to Cthugha can be found the east including The Nestarian offshoot of Zoarostrianism centered in Bombay (a large number of the members of which are unaware that the entity they worship is Cthugha)and a smaller independent cult known as the Slaves of the Flame Undying based in Egypt.

A large amount of information on Cthugha and his worship can be found in the collection of scrolls known as [[The Letters of Nestar]].

In Derleth's version of the Cthulhu Mythos, Cthugha is a [[Great Old One]], an elemental spirit of fire opposed to the [[Elder God]]s.

==Avatars and names==
The [[Lemuria]]n god [[Yamath]] may be a form of Cthugha.

==Appearances==

* In August Derleth's short story "The Dweller in Darkness" ([[1940s|1944]]), the protagonists attempt to summon Cthugha to drive an avatar of [[Nyarlathotep]] out of a forest in northern Wisconsin.
* [[Richard Tierney]] - "[[The Pillars of Melkarth]]".

Dreamlands

2011-01-02T16:10:11Z

Spectrum: /* The Great Ones */ Split this into a separate article

The '''Dreamlands''' is a fictional location in the [[Dream cycle]] of [[H.P. Lovecraft]]. It is also the setting for a number of [[pastiches]] written by other authors.

The Dreamlands is a vast, alternate [[dimension]] that can be entered through [[dreams]], similar to [[astral projection]]. Experienced dreamers are among the most powerful inhabitants of the Dreamlands and may become its permanent residents after their physical deaths.

==Cosmology==

To reach the Dreamlands, a sleeper must find an unusual stairway in a conventional dream and walk down the '''Seventy Steps of Light Slumber''' to face the judgment of powerful gatekeepers named '''[[Nasht]]''' and '''[[Kaman-Tha]]'''. If judged worthy (i.e., able to survive the dangers of the Dreamlands), the dreamer is allowed to descend the '''Seven Hundred Steps of Deeper Slumber''' and emerges in the '''Enchanted Wood'''. When a person enters the Dreamlands in this way, he leaves his physical body safely in the waking world. Should he be killed during his travels, his corporeal body will only suffer a shock. Sometimes, however, this can be fatal; "dream death" of this kind makes return to the Dreamlands impossible. Waking up causes a person's "dream self" to disappear, and the individual may have difficulty recalling anything learned or experienced during his time asleep (similar to conventional dreaming).

The Dreamlands can be entered in other ways, including physically. This usually requires passing through very dangerous areas of both the waking world and the Dreamlands. Consequently, "real" death becomes a risk. However, the visitor does receive the prolonged lifespan of a native of the Dreamlands, and the traveller's time there is no longer limited to the duration of a night's sleep on earth.

Though the term "Dreamlands" typically refers to the dimension accessible by human dreamers, other inhabited planets apparently have their own dreamlands. Reaching these other realms from the terrestrial Dreamlands is possible, but difficult.

Time flows at a different rate in the Dreamlands; each hour on earth represents a week or more there. Consequently, a traveller can spend months in the Dreamlands during a single night's sleep on earth. Fortunately for dreamers, inhabitants of the Dreamlands are either long-lived or immortal, provided they avoid injury or disease.

Despite its accelerated time, the Dreamlands rarely experiences change. Its geography, politics, and population remain fairly static. Dreamers, however, can exert great change over the topography, such as by creating entire cities with accompanying populations.

The Dreamlands has its own [[pantheon (gods)|pantheon]] known as the '''[[Great Ones]]''', but they resemble powerful immortals rather than true gods because ordinary humans can wound, deceive, and seduce them. Their dominion is protected, however, from mortal challengers by the dread [[Other Gods]] and their messenger [[Nyarlathotep]] (who treats the Other Gods and the Great Ones alike with evident contempt). Otherwise, the rest of the deities of the mythos, who figure prominently in Lovecraft's other writings (such as the [[Great Old One|Great Old Ones]] and the Outer Gods), have little interest in or influence over the Dreamlands.

==Geography==

The Dreamlands is divided into four continental regions, each named for its cardinal direction.

* '''The West''' is the most well-known region of the Dreamlands and is probably the most peopled as well. It is where dreamers emerge from the Steps of Deeper Slumber. The port of '''[[Dylath-Leen]]''', the largest city of the Dreamlands, lies on its coast. The town of '''[[Ulthar]]''', where no man may kill a cat, is also located here. Other important cities are '''[[Hlanith]]''' (a coastal jungle city) and '''[[Ilarnek]]''' (a desert trade capital). The land of '''[[Mnar]]''' and the ruins of '''[[The Doom that Came to Sarnath|Sarnath]]''' are found at the southern border. The [[Enchanted Wood]] of the [[Zoogs]] is also found here. It joins the South.

* '''The South''' is the southern coastal region of the continent shared by the West along with the islands of the '''[[Southern Sea]]''', including the isle of '''[[Oriab]]''', the largest. The South's land-locked regions and its coastal areas are known as the '''Fantastic Realms''', because they contain nightmarish and sometimes incomprehensible zones. Otherwise, the islands of the Southern Sea are fairly normal.

* '''The East''' is a continent that is largely uninhabited, except for '''[[Ooth-Nargai]]'''. The city of '''[[Celephaïs]]''' is the capital of Ooth-Nargai and was created from whole cloth by its monarch '''[[Kuranes|King Kuranes]]''', the greatest of all recorded dreamers. Beyond Ooth-Nargai are '''The Forbidden Lands''', dangerous realms into which travel is interdicted.

* '''The North''' is a cold, mountainous continent notorious for its '''[[Plateau of Leng]]''', a violent region shared by [[Spiders of Leng|man-eating spiders]] and [[satyr]]-like beings known as the "[[Men of Leng]]". The North also has a number of friendlier places, such as the city of '''[[Inganok]]''', famous for its [[onyx]] quarries. The deepest reaches of the North are said to hold '''[[Unknown Kadath]]''', the home of the Great Ones.

In addition to these regions, the Dreamlands has a few other locales that defy conventional description.

* '''The [[Underworld (Dreamlands)|Underworld]]''' is a subterranean region that runs beneath the whole of the Dreamlands. Its principle inhabitants are '''[[ghoul]]s''', who can physically enter the waking world through crypts. The Underworld is also home to the '''[[Gugs]]''', monstrous giants banished from the surface for untold blasphemies. The Underworld's deepest realm is the '''[[Vale of Pnath]]''', a dangerous lightless chasm inhabited by enormous unseen beasts called '''[[bholes]]'''. Bholes are likely the ancestors of the '''[[dhole (fictional)|dholes]]''' of '''[[Yaddith]]'''.

* '''The Moon''' has a parallel in the Dreamlands and is inhabited by the dreaded '''[[moon-beasts]]''', amorphous frog-like creatures allied with Nyarlathotep. Interestingly, it is possible for a ship to sail off the edge of the Dreamlands and travel through space to the moon.

==The Great Ones==
{{main|Great Ones}}
The Great Ones are the "weak gods of earth" that reign in the Dreamlands. They are protected by [[Nyarlathotep]].

Dreamlands

2011-01-02T16:02:53Z

Spectrum: /* Cosmology */ Fixed a link

The '''Dreamlands''' is a fictional location in the [[Dream cycle]] of [[H.P. Lovecraft]]. It is also the setting for a number of [[pastiches]] written by other authors.

The Dreamlands is a vast, alternate [[dimension]] that can be entered through [[dreams]], similar to [[astral projection]]. Experienced dreamers are among the most powerful inhabitants of the Dreamlands and may become its permanent residents after their physical deaths.

==Cosmology==

To reach the Dreamlands, a sleeper must find an unusual stairway in a conventional dream and walk down the '''Seventy Steps of Light Slumber''' to face the judgment of powerful gatekeepers named '''[[Nasht]]''' and '''[[Kaman-Tha]]'''. If judged worthy (i.e., able to survive the dangers of the Dreamlands), the dreamer is allowed to descend the '''Seven Hundred Steps of Deeper Slumber''' and emerges in the '''Enchanted Wood'''. When a person enters the Dreamlands in this way, he leaves his physical body safely in the waking world. Should he be killed during his travels, his corporeal body will only suffer a shock. Sometimes, however, this can be fatal; "dream death" of this kind makes return to the Dreamlands impossible. Waking up causes a person's "dream self" to disappear, and the individual may have difficulty recalling anything learned or experienced during his time asleep (similar to conventional dreaming).

The Dreamlands can be entered in other ways, including physically. This usually requires passing through very dangerous areas of both the waking world and the Dreamlands. Consequently, "real" death becomes a risk. However, the visitor does receive the prolonged lifespan of a native of the Dreamlands, and the traveller's time there is no longer limited to the duration of a night's sleep on earth.

Though the term "Dreamlands" typically refers to the dimension accessible by human dreamers, other inhabited planets apparently have their own dreamlands. Reaching these other realms from the terrestrial Dreamlands is possible, but difficult.

Time flows at a different rate in the Dreamlands; each hour on earth represents a week or more there. Consequently, a traveller can spend months in the Dreamlands during a single night's sleep on earth. Fortunately for dreamers, inhabitants of the Dreamlands are either long-lived or immortal, provided they avoid injury or disease.

Despite its accelerated time, the Dreamlands rarely experiences change. Its geography, politics, and population remain fairly static. Dreamers, however, can exert great change over the topography, such as by creating entire cities with accompanying populations.

The Dreamlands has its own [[pantheon (gods)|pantheon]] known as the '''[[Great Ones]]''', but they resemble powerful immortals rather than true gods because ordinary humans can wound, deceive, and seduce them. Their dominion is protected, however, from mortal challengers by the dread [[Other Gods]] and their messenger [[Nyarlathotep]] (who treats the Other Gods and the Great Ones alike with evident contempt). Otherwise, the rest of the deities of the mythos, who figure prominently in Lovecraft's other writings (such as the [[Great Old One|Great Old Ones]] and the Outer Gods), have little interest in or influence over the Dreamlands.

==Geography==

The Dreamlands is divided into four continental regions, each named for its cardinal direction.

* '''The West''' is the most well-known region of the Dreamlands and is probably the most peopled as well. It is where dreamers emerge from the Steps of Deeper Slumber. The port of '''[[Dylath-Leen]]''', the largest city of the Dreamlands, lies on its coast. The town of '''[[Ulthar]]''', where no man may kill a cat, is also located here. Other important cities are '''[[Hlanith]]''' (a coastal jungle city) and '''[[Ilarnek]]''' (a desert trade capital). The land of '''[[Mnar]]''' and the ruins of '''[[The Doom that Came to Sarnath|Sarnath]]''' are found at the southern border. The [[Enchanted Wood]] of the [[Zoogs]] is also found here. It joins the South.

* '''The South''' is the southern coastal region of the continent shared by the West along with the islands of the '''[[Southern Sea]]''', including the isle of '''[[Oriab]]''', the largest. The South's land-locked regions and its coastal areas are known as the '''Fantastic Realms''', because they contain nightmarish and sometimes incomprehensible zones. Otherwise, the islands of the Southern Sea are fairly normal.

* '''The East''' is a continent that is largely uninhabited, except for '''[[Ooth-Nargai]]'''. The city of '''[[Celephaïs]]''' is the capital of Ooth-Nargai and was created from whole cloth by its monarch '''[[Kuranes|King Kuranes]]''', the greatest of all recorded dreamers. Beyond Ooth-Nargai are '''The Forbidden Lands''', dangerous realms into which travel is interdicted.

* '''The North''' is a cold, mountainous continent notorious for its '''[[Plateau of Leng]]''', a violent region shared by [[Spiders of Leng|man-eating spiders]] and [[satyr]]-like beings known as the "[[Men of Leng]]". The North also has a number of friendlier places, such as the city of '''[[Inganok]]''', famous for its [[onyx]] quarries. The deepest reaches of the North are said to hold '''[[Unknown Kadath]]''', the home of the Great Ones.

In addition to these regions, the Dreamlands has a few other locales that defy conventional description.

* '''The [[Underworld (Dreamlands)|Underworld]]''' is a subterranean region that runs beneath the whole of the Dreamlands. Its principle inhabitants are '''[[ghoul]]s''', who can physically enter the waking world through crypts. The Underworld is also home to the '''[[Gugs]]''', monstrous giants banished from the surface for untold blasphemies. The Underworld's deepest realm is the '''[[Vale of Pnath]]''', a dangerous lightless chasm inhabited by enormous unseen beasts called '''[[bholes]]'''. Bholes are likely the ancestors of the '''[[dhole (fictional)|dholes]]''' of '''[[Yaddith]]'''.

* '''The Moon''' has a parallel in the Dreamlands and is inhabited by the dreaded '''[[moon-beasts]]''', amorphous frog-like creatures allied with Nyarlathotep. Interestingly, it is possible for a ship to sail off the edge of the Dreamlands and travel through space to the moon.

At the Mountains of Madness (fiction)

2009-12-30T16:37:14Z

Spectrum: /* Sequels */ Fixed year

'''''At the Mountains of Madness''''' is a [[novella]] by [[horror fiction|horror]] writer [[H.P. Lovecraft]], written in February/March [[1931 in literature|1931]] and originally serialized in the February, March and April [[1936 in literature|1936]] issues ''[[Astounding (magazine)|Astounding Stories]]''. It has been reproduced in numerous collections since Lovecraft's death.
[[Image:ATMOM.jpg|right|thumb|400px|Classics Illustrated's cover to "[[At the Mountains of Madness]]"]]
The story is considered by Lovecraft scholar [[S. T. Joshi]] to represent the decisive "demythology" of the [[Cthulhu Mythos]].
==Inspiration==

Lovecraft had a lifelong interest in [[History of Antarctica#Exploration|Antarctic exploration]]. "Lovecraft had been fascinated with the Antarctic continent since he was at least 12 years old, when he had written several small treatises on early Antarctic explorers," biographer S. T. Joshi wrote.<ref>S. T. Joshi, ''The Annotated Lovecraft'', p. 175.</ref> At about the age of 9, inspired by W. Clark Russell's 1887 book ''The Frozen Pirate'', Lovecraft had written "several yarns" set in Antarctica.<ref>Joshi and Schultz, p. 132.</ref>

By the 1920s, Joshi notes, Antarctica was "one of the last ''unexplored'' regions of the earth, where large stretches of territory had never seen the tread of human feet. Contemporary maps of the continent show a number of provocative blanks, and Lovecraft could exercise his imagination in filling them in...with little fear of immediate contradiction."<ref>Joshi, p. 18.</ref>

The first expedition of [[Richard Evelyn Byrd]] took place in 1928-1930, the period just before the novella was written, and Lovecraft mentioned the explorer repeatedly in his letters, remarking at one point on "geologists of the Byrd expedition having found many fossils indicating a tropical past".<ref>H. P. Lovecraft, ''Selected Letters'' Vol. 3, p. 144; cited in Joshi, p. 183; see also Joshi, p. 186.</ref>

[[Lin Carter]] has suggested that one inspiration for ''At the Mountains of Madness'' was Lovecraft's own hypersensitivity to cold, as evidenced by an incident where the writer "collapsed in the street and was carried unconscious into a drug store" because the temperature dropped from 60 degrees to 30 degrees Fahrenheit (15 degrees to -1 degree Celsius). "The loathing and horror that extreme cold evoked in him was carried over into his writing," Carter wrote, "and the pages of ''Madness'' convey the blighting, blasting, stifling sensation caused by sub-zero temperatures in a way that even Poe could not suggest."<ref>Lin Carter, ''Lovecraft: A Look Behind the Cthulhu Mythos'', p. 84. Joshi regards this suggestion as "facile"--''Annotated Lovecraft'', pp. 17-18.</ref>

Lovecraft's most obvious literary source for ''At the Mountains of Madness'' is [[Edgar Allan Poe]]'s lone novel, ''[[The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket]]'', whose concluding section is set in Antarctica. Lovecraft twice cites Poe's "disturbing and enigmatical" story in his text, and explicitly borrows the mysterious phrase "Tekeli-li" from Poe's work. In a letter to [[August Derleth]], Lovecraft wrote that he was trying to achieve with his ending an effect similar to what Poe accomplished in ''Pym''.<ref>H. P. Lovecraft, letter to August Derleth, May 16, 1931; cited in Joshi, pp. 329-330.</ref>

[[Image:Mountain.jpg|right|thumb||]]
Another proposed inspiration for ''At the Mountains of Madness'' is [[Edgar Rice Burroughs]]' ''[[At the Earth's Core (novel)|At the Earth's Core]]'' (1914), a novel that posits a highly intelligent reptilian race, the Mahar, living in a [[hollow earth]]. "Consider the similarity of Burroughs' Mahar to Lovecraft's Old Ones, both of whom are presented sympathetically despite their ill-treatment of man," writes critic William Fulwiler. "[B]oth are winged, web-footed, dominant races; both are scientific scholarly races with a talent for genetics, engineering, and architecture; and both races use men as cattle." Both stories, Fulwiler points out, involve radical new drilling techniques; in both stories, humans are vivisected by nonhuman scientists. Burroughs' Mahar even employ a species of servants known as Sagoths, possibly the source of Lovecraft's [[shoggoths]].<ref>William Fulwiler, "E.R.B. and H.P.L.", ''Black Forbidden Things'', p. 64.</ref>

Other possible sources include [[A. Merritt]]'s "The People of the Pit", whose description of an underground city in the Yukon bears some resemblance to that of Lovecraft's Elder Things, and Katharine Metcalf Roof's "A Million Years After", a story about [[dinosaurs]] hatching from eggs millions of years old that appeared in the November 1930 edition ''Weird Tales''. In a letter to [[Frank Belknap Long]], Lovecraft declared the story to be a "rotten", "cheap", and "puerile" version of an idea he had come up with years earlier, and Joshi suggests it may have provoked him to write his own tale of "the awakening of entities from the dim reaches of earth's history."<ref>H. P. Lovecraft, ''Selected Letters'' Vol. III, p. 186; Joshi, p. 175.</ref>

The long scope of history recounted in the story may have been inspired by [[Oswald Spengler]]'s ''[[The Decline of the West]]''. Some details of the story may have been taken from M. P. Shiel's 1901 novel of [[Arctic]] exploration, ''The Purple Cloud'', which was republished in 1930.<ref>Joshi and Schultz, pp. 10-11.</ref>

Lovecraft's own "[[The Nameless City]]" (1921), which also deals with the exploration of an ancient underground city apparently abandoned by its nonhuman builders, is a clear precedent for ''At the Mountains of Madness''. In both stories, the explorers use the nonhumans' artwork to deduce the history of their species.<ref>H. P. Lovecraft, "The Nameless City", ''Dagon and Other Macabre Tales'', pp. 104-105; cited in Joshi, pp. 264-265.</ref>
==Reaction==

This story was rejected by ''[[Weird Tales]]'' editor [[Farnsworth Wright]] on the grounds of its length. The story eventually appeared four years later in ''[[Astounding Stories]]''.

==Plot summary==

The story is written in first-person perspective by Professor William Dyer, a [[geologist]] from [[Miskatonic University]]. He writes to disclose hitherto unknown and closely kept secrets in the hope that he can deter a planned and much publicized scientific expedition to [[Antarctica]]. On a previous expedition there, a party of scholars from Miskatonic University, led by Dyer, discovered fantastic and horrific ruins and a dangerous secret beyond a range of mountains taller than the [[Himalayas]].

The group that discovered and crossed the mountains found the remains of fourteen ancient life forms, completely unknown to science and unidentifiable as neither plants or animals, after discovering an underground cave while boring for ice cores. Six of the specimens seem to be badly damaged, the others uncannily pristine. The extremely early date in the [[geological strata]] of these [[fossil|"fossils"]] is problematic because of their highly evolved features. Because of their resemblance to creatures of myth mentioned in the ''[[Necronomicon]]'', they are dubbed the "[[Elder Things]]".

When the main expedition loses contact with this party, Dyer and the rest of his colleagues travel to their camp to investigate. The camp is devastated and both the men and the dogs slaughtered, with only one of each missing. Near the camp they find six star-shaped snow mounds, and a damaged Elder Thing buried under each. They discover that the better preserved life forms have vanished, and that some form of experiment has been done, though they are only able to speculate on the subject, and the possibility that it is the missing man and dog. Dyer elects, then, to close off the area from which they took their samples.

Dyer and a student named Danforth fly an airplane over the mountains, which they soon realize are the outer wall of a huge, abandoned stone city of cubes and cones, utterly alien to any human [[architecture]]. Exploring one of the cones, the men are able to learn the history of the Elder Things by interpreting their magnificent [[logogram|hieroglyphic]] murals: The Elder Things first came to Earth shortly after the [[Moon]] was pulled loose from the planet and were the creators of life. They built their cities with the help of "[[shoggoth]]s", things created to perform any task, assume any form, and reflect any thought. Danforth and Dyer realize that the eight Elder Things were still alive when they find a sledge from the camp up in the city, which to their horror contains the bodies of the missing dog and man, evidently kept as scientific specimens.

They find evidence of dead Elder Things and are chased back to their plane by an ululating horror which they identify as a shoggoth. As they fly away, only Danforth looks back and sees something that causes him to lose most of his [[sanity]], and which he refuses to describe. Professor Dyer concludes that the Elder Things and their civilization were destroyed by the shoggoths they created, and begs the planners of the proposed Antarctic expedition to stay away from things that should not be loosed on this Earth.
==Characters==
===William Dyer===
(ca. 1875–?)

The narrator of ''At the Mountains of Madness'', he is a professor of [[geology]] at [[Miskatonic University]] and a leader of the disastrous Pabodie Expedition to [[Antarctica]] in [[1930]]–[[1931|31]]. He reappears in Lovecraft's "[[The Shadow Out of Time]]", where he accompanies an expedition to [[Australia]]'s [[Great Sandy Desert]] where he is said to be "appalled at the measureless age of the fragments" of a [[wikt:primordial|primordial]] civilization found there.

In ''At the Mountains of Madness'', he has no first name, only being called "William Dyer" in "The Shadow Out of Time".



===Danforth===

Graduate student at [[Miskatonic University]]. As part of the Pabodie Expedition, he accompanies Dyer on a survey flight over the "[[Plateau of Leng]]" and goes mad after seeing something. He is described as "a great reader of bizarre material", and makes allusions to [[Edgar Allan Poe]] and the ''[[Necronomicon]]''.

According to [[Fritz Leiber]]'s "To Arkham and the Stars", he later recovered after being treated with experimental drugs developed by [[The Dunwich Horror#Morgan, (Professor) Francis|Professor Morgan]], though he never recalled the horror he saw on the plateau. Afterwards, he became a professor of [[psychology]] at the university.


===Frank H. Pabodie===

A member of Miskatonic's [[engineering]] department, Professor Pabodie invented a drill for the expedition that was "unique and radical in its lightness, portability, and capacity...to cope quickly with strata of varying hardness." He also added "fuel-warming and quick-starting devices" to the expedition's four aircraft.<ref>Lovecraft, ''At the Mountains of Madness'', p. 4.</ref>

Lovecraft wrote of the name "Pabodie", "I chose it as a name typical of good old New England stock, yet not sufficiently common to sound conventional or hackneyed." It's an alternative spelling of "Peabody", a name Lovecraft was familiar with through the [[George Peabody|Peabody Museum]] in [[Salem, Massachusetts|Salem]].<ref>H. P. Lovecraft, ''Selected Letters'' Vol. V, p. 228; Joshi, p. 181.</ref>

===Professor Lake===

Lake is a professor of biology at Miskatonic University. It is he who first discovers the Mountains of Madness as a result of his "strange and dogged insistence on a westward--or rather, northwestward--prospecting trip" based on his discovery of strange fossils. He also discovers the ancient extraterrestrial specimens that he dubs [[Elder Things]] based on their resemblance to "certain monsters of primal myth" found in the ''Necronomicon''. He reports that his findings in Antarctica confirm his belief "that earth has seen whole cycles of organic life before known one that begins with [[Archaeozoic]] cells," and predicts that this "[w]ill mean to biology what Einstein has meant to mathematics and physics." When the Elder Things turn out to be living creatures rather than fossils, they butcher Lake and the rest of his sub-expedition. For the rest of the story, he is referred to as "poor Lake".

===Professor Atwood===

A member of the Miskatonic University [[physics]] department, and also a meteorologist. He is part of the Lake sub-expedition and is also butchered by the Elder Things.
==Significance==
According to S. T. Joshi, who included this novella as the central story in the first volume of his ''Annotated Lovecraft'' series, ''Mountains'' reveals Lovecraft's true feelings on the so-called Cthulhu Mythos that subsequent writers attributed to him, and "demythologizes" much of his earlier work.

Many of Lovecraft's stories involve features that appear to be [[supernatural]], such as [[monsters]] and the [[occult]]. However, ''Mountains'' appears to explain the origins of such elements—from occult [[symbols]] to "gods" such as [[Cthulhu]]—in rational terms. ''Mountains'' explains many elements of the "Cthulhu Mythos" in terms of early alien civilizations that took root on Earth long before humans appeared.

The story has also inadvertently popularized the concept of [[ancient astronauts]], as well as [[Antarctica]]'s place in the "ancient astronaut mythology".<ref>Jason Colavito, ''The Cthulhu Comparison''</ref>
== Connections to other Lovecraft stories ==

''At the Mountains of Madness'' has numerous connections to other Lovecraft stories. A few include:

* The formless [[shoggoths]] later appear in "[[The Shadow Over Innsmouth]]" ([[1931 in literature|1931]]), "[[The Thing on the Doorstep]]" ([[1933 in literature|1933]]), and "[[The Haunter of the Dark]]" ([[1935 in literature|1935]])
* The star-headed [[Elder Things]] also appear in "[[The Dreams in the Witch House]]" ([[1933 in literature|1933]]), when the main character, Walter Gilman, visits a city of theirs in one of his dreams, and "[[The Shadow Out of Time]]", in which they are the vaguely-alluded-to antagonists of the [[Great Race of Yith]].
* The expedition is sponsored by the Nathaniel Derby Pickman Foundation, combining two major names in Lovecraft's fiction: Derby and Pickman.<ref>Anthony Pearsall, ''The Lovecraft Lexicon'', p. 326.</ref> Richard Upton Pickman is the main character in Lovecraft's "[[Pickman's Model]]", while Edward Pickman Derby is the protagonist of his "The Thing on the Doorstep", and also one of his literary alter-egos.<ref>Ibid, p. 146.</ref>
* The Elder Things record the coming of [[Cthulhu]] to Earth and the sinking of [[R'lyeh]], events referred to in "[[The Call of Cthulhu]]" ([[1928 in literature|1928]]).
* The Elder Things' city is identified with the Plateau of [[Leng]], first mentioned in Lovecraft's "[[Celephais]]" ([[1920 in literature|1920]]).
* Some members of the expedition have read [[Miskatonic University]]'s copy of the ''[[Necronomicon]]''.
* Dyer mentions "[[Kadath]] in the Cold Waste" while referring to a massive mountain range which even the [[Old Ones]] "shunned as vaguely and namelessly evil."
==Film, TV or theatrical adaptations==
Director [[John Carpenter]]'s Lovecraftian tribute movie ''[[In the Mouth of Madness]]'' ([[1995 in film|1995]]) bases its title on this story, although the plot is unrelated.

Director [[Guillermo Del Toro]] has written a screenplay based on Lovecraft's story, but in 2006 has had trouble getting [[Warner Brothers]] to finance the project. Wrote Del Toro, "The studio is very nervous about the cost and it not having a love story or a happy ending, but it's impossible to do either in the Lovecraft universe."<ref>Guillermo Del Toro Films, [http://www.deltorofilms.com/AtTheMountainsOfMadness.php ''At the Mountains of Madness'']</ref>

A radio adaption of ''At the Mountains of Madness'' is available from the [[Atlanta Radio Theater Company]].

The [[H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society]]<ref> [http://www.cthulhulives.org "HPLHS"]</ref> produced a [[Dark Adventure Radio Theatre: At the Mountains of Madness|1930s-style radio drama]] of the story, featuring professional actors, original music and sound effects. It is packaged with photos from the expedition, newspaper clippings and other fun props.

''Mountains of Madness'' is a musical adaptation of Lovecraft's stories by [[Alexander Hacke]], [[Danielle de Picciotto]] and [[Tiger Lillies|The Tiger Lillies]]

==Sequels==
After Lovecraft's death, more than one "sequel" to ''At the Mountains of Madness'' has been released:

*[[Chaosium]] developed a game book for their ''[[Call of Cthulhu (role-playing game)|Call of Cthulhu]]'' role-playing game, called ''Beyond the Mountains of Madness'', essentially a follow-up to the original story.
*[[Tim Curran]]'s 2005 novel ''[[Hive]]'' describes a new Antarctic expedition in the 2000s decade that rediscovers the Elder Thing city.

== Trivia ==

* The book ''Mountains of Madness: A Scientist's Odyssey in Antarctica'' ([[2001 in literature|2001]]), by John Long, is an account of a real-life expedition to Antarctica that searched for fossils near the location in the story, but fortunately without the disasters that befell Lovecraft's scientists.

* Late in the story, one of the characters recites a series of subway stops to calm himself; all of the stops still exist today on the [[Red Line (MBTA)|Red Line]] subway in [[Boston]] (though some have changed names).

* Some believe that Lovecraft references the "cursed" [[Gedney family]] with the character of the same name.

* The giant penguins that feature in the ruins of the Elder Thing's city were inspired by the prehistoric species [[Anthropornis nordenskjoeldi|''Anthropornis nordenskjoeldi'']].

* An episode of the popular American animated television series ''[[The Simpsons]]'' is titled "[[Mountain of Madness]]" and features polar conditions, claustrophobia, and the mental breakdown of [[Homer Simpson]] and [[C. Montgomery Burns]] as themes, though to humorous effect.

* In [[Wake Up Call (The 4400 episode)|an episode]] of ''[[The 4400]]'', [[Kevin Burkhoff]], played by [[Jeffrey Combs]], who has appeared in Lovecraft-based films, is seen giving this book to a psychiatric patient.

* A sequel to the story, ''Hive'' by [[Tim Curran]], details a modern expedition to the Antarctica in which the team discover a subterranean flooded city still populated by Old Ones, who reach out with their minds and gradually drive most of the crew insane. The book references the original story directly, with quotes and characters, and also bears a strong resemblance to the Lovecraft-themed [[John Carpenter]] film ''[[The Thing (film)|The Thing]]''.

* Another sequel is the [[Charles Stross]] novella ''[[A Colder War]]'', which takes place in a world where the proposed follow-up expedition to Antarctica takes place and rediscovers the Elder Thing city as well as locating several more across Earth.

* The novel ''[[The Spiraling Worm]]'' by [[David Conyers]] and [[John Sunseri]] feastures shoggoths, a modern day exploration of the Elder Thing's city, and an alien world shoggoth production factory.

At the Mountains of Madness (fiction)

2009-12-30T16:32:19Z

Spectrum: Added "Sequels"

'''''At the Mountains of Madness''''' is a [[novella]] by [[horror fiction|horror]] writer [[H.P. Lovecraft]], written in February/March [[1931 in literature|1931]] and originally serialized in the February, March and April [[1936 in literature|1936]] issues ''[[Astounding (magazine)|Astounding Stories]]''. It has been reproduced in numerous collections since Lovecraft's death.
[[Image:ATMOM.jpg|right|thumb|400px|Classics Illustrated's cover to "[[At the Mountains of Madness]]"]]
The story is considered by Lovecraft scholar [[S. T. Joshi]] to represent the decisive "demythology" of the [[Cthulhu Mythos]].
==Inspiration==

Lovecraft had a lifelong interest in [[History of Antarctica#Exploration|Antarctic exploration]]. "Lovecraft had been fascinated with the Antarctic continent since he was at least 12 years old, when he had written several small treatises on early Antarctic explorers," biographer S. T. Joshi wrote.<ref>S. T. Joshi, ''The Annotated Lovecraft'', p. 175.</ref> At about the age of 9, inspired by W. Clark Russell's 1887 book ''The Frozen Pirate'', Lovecraft had written "several yarns" set in Antarctica.<ref>Joshi and Schultz, p. 132.</ref>

By the 1920s, Joshi notes, Antarctica was "one of the last ''unexplored'' regions of the earth, where large stretches of territory had never seen the tread of human feet. Contemporary maps of the continent show a number of provocative blanks, and Lovecraft could exercise his imagination in filling them in...with little fear of immediate contradiction."<ref>Joshi, p. 18.</ref>

The first expedition of [[Richard Evelyn Byrd]] took place in 1928-1930, the period just before the novella was written, and Lovecraft mentioned the explorer repeatedly in his letters, remarking at one point on "geologists of the Byrd expedition having found many fossils indicating a tropical past".<ref>H. P. Lovecraft, ''Selected Letters'' Vol. 3, p. 144; cited in Joshi, p. 183; see also Joshi, p. 186.</ref>

[[Lin Carter]] has suggested that one inspiration for ''At the Mountains of Madness'' was Lovecraft's own hypersensitivity to cold, as evidenced by an incident where the writer "collapsed in the street and was carried unconscious into a drug store" because the temperature dropped from 60 degrees to 30 degrees Fahrenheit (15 degrees to -1 degree Celsius). "The loathing and horror that extreme cold evoked in him was carried over into his writing," Carter wrote, "and the pages of ''Madness'' convey the blighting, blasting, stifling sensation caused by sub-zero temperatures in a way that even Poe could not suggest."<ref>Lin Carter, ''Lovecraft: A Look Behind the Cthulhu Mythos'', p. 84. Joshi regards this suggestion as "facile"--''Annotated Lovecraft'', pp. 17-18.</ref>

Lovecraft's most obvious literary source for ''At the Mountains of Madness'' is [[Edgar Allan Poe]]'s lone novel, ''[[The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket]]'', whose concluding section is set in Antarctica. Lovecraft twice cites Poe's "disturbing and enigmatical" story in his text, and explicitly borrows the mysterious phrase "Tekeli-li" from Poe's work. In a letter to [[August Derleth]], Lovecraft wrote that he was trying to achieve with his ending an effect similar to what Poe accomplished in ''Pym''.<ref>H. P. Lovecraft, letter to August Derleth, May 16, 1931; cited in Joshi, pp. 329-330.</ref>

[[Image:Mountain.jpg|right|thumb||]]
Another proposed inspiration for ''At the Mountains of Madness'' is [[Edgar Rice Burroughs]]' ''[[At the Earth's Core (novel)|At the Earth's Core]]'' (1914), a novel that posits a highly intelligent reptilian race, the Mahar, living in a [[hollow earth]]. "Consider the similarity of Burroughs' Mahar to Lovecraft's Old Ones, both of whom are presented sympathetically despite their ill-treatment of man," writes critic William Fulwiler. "[B]oth are winged, web-footed, dominant races; both are scientific scholarly races with a talent for genetics, engineering, and architecture; and both races use men as cattle." Both stories, Fulwiler points out, involve radical new drilling techniques; in both stories, humans are vivisected by nonhuman scientists. Burroughs' Mahar even employ a species of servants known as Sagoths, possibly the source of Lovecraft's [[shoggoths]].<ref>William Fulwiler, "E.R.B. and H.P.L.", ''Black Forbidden Things'', p. 64.</ref>

Other possible sources include [[A. Merritt]]'s "The People of the Pit", whose description of an underground city in the Yukon bears some resemblance to that of Lovecraft's Elder Things, and Katharine Metcalf Roof's "A Million Years After", a story about [[dinosaurs]] hatching from eggs millions of years old that appeared in the November 1930 edition ''Weird Tales''. In a letter to [[Frank Belknap Long]], Lovecraft declared the story to be a "rotten", "cheap", and "puerile" version of an idea he had come up with years earlier, and Joshi suggests it may have provoked him to write his own tale of "the awakening of entities from the dim reaches of earth's history."<ref>H. P. Lovecraft, ''Selected Letters'' Vol. III, p. 186; Joshi, p. 175.</ref>

The long scope of history recounted in the story may have been inspired by [[Oswald Spengler]]'s ''[[The Decline of the West]]''. Some details of the story may have been taken from M. P. Shiel's 1901 novel of [[Arctic]] exploration, ''The Purple Cloud'', which was republished in 1930.<ref>Joshi and Schultz, pp. 10-11.</ref>

Lovecraft's own "[[The Nameless City]]" (1921), which also deals with the exploration of an ancient underground city apparently abandoned by its nonhuman builders, is a clear precedent for ''At the Mountains of Madness''. In both stories, the explorers use the nonhumans' artwork to deduce the history of their species.<ref>H. P. Lovecraft, "The Nameless City", ''Dagon and Other Macabre Tales'', pp. 104-105; cited in Joshi, pp. 264-265.</ref>
==Reaction==

This story was rejected by ''[[Weird Tales]]'' editor [[Farnsworth Wright]] on the grounds of its length. The story eventually appeared four years later in ''[[Astounding Stories]]''.

==Plot summary==

The story is written in first-person perspective by Professor William Dyer, a [[geologist]] from [[Miskatonic University]]. He writes to disclose hitherto unknown and closely kept secrets in the hope that he can deter a planned and much publicized scientific expedition to [[Antarctica]]. On a previous expedition there, a party of scholars from Miskatonic University, led by Dyer, discovered fantastic and horrific ruins and a dangerous secret beyond a range of mountains taller than the [[Himalayas]].

The group that discovered and crossed the mountains found the remains of fourteen ancient life forms, completely unknown to science and unidentifiable as neither plants or animals, after discovering an underground cave while boring for ice cores. Six of the specimens seem to be badly damaged, the others uncannily pristine. The extremely early date in the [[geological strata]] of these [[fossil|"fossils"]] is problematic because of their highly evolved features. Because of their resemblance to creatures of myth mentioned in the ''[[Necronomicon]]'', they are dubbed the "[[Elder Things]]".

When the main expedition loses contact with this party, Dyer and the rest of his colleagues travel to their camp to investigate. The camp is devastated and both the men and the dogs slaughtered, with only one of each missing. Near the camp they find six star-shaped snow mounds, and a damaged Elder Thing buried under each. They discover that the better preserved life forms have vanished, and that some form of experiment has been done, though they are only able to speculate on the subject, and the possibility that it is the missing man and dog. Dyer elects, then, to close off the area from which they took their samples.

Dyer and a student named Danforth fly an airplane over the mountains, which they soon realize are the outer wall of a huge, abandoned stone city of cubes and cones, utterly alien to any human [[architecture]]. Exploring one of the cones, the men are able to learn the history of the Elder Things by interpreting their magnificent [[logogram|hieroglyphic]] murals: The Elder Things first came to Earth shortly after the [[Moon]] was pulled loose from the planet and were the creators of life. They built their cities with the help of "[[shoggoth]]s", things created to perform any task, assume any form, and reflect any thought. Danforth and Dyer realize that the eight Elder Things were still alive when they find a sledge from the camp up in the city, which to their horror contains the bodies of the missing dog and man, evidently kept as scientific specimens.

They find evidence of dead Elder Things and are chased back to their plane by an ululating horror which they identify as a shoggoth. As they fly away, only Danforth looks back and sees something that causes him to lose most of his [[sanity]], and which he refuses to describe. Professor Dyer concludes that the Elder Things and their civilization were destroyed by the shoggoths they created, and begs the planners of the proposed Antarctic expedition to stay away from things that should not be loosed on this Earth.
==Characters==
===William Dyer===
(ca. 1875–?)

The narrator of ''At the Mountains of Madness'', he is a professor of [[geology]] at [[Miskatonic University]] and a leader of the disastrous Pabodie Expedition to [[Antarctica]] in [[1930]]–[[1931|31]]. He reappears in Lovecraft's "[[The Shadow Out of Time]]", where he accompanies an expedition to [[Australia]]'s [[Great Sandy Desert]] where he is said to be "appalled at the measureless age of the fragments" of a [[wikt:primordial|primordial]] civilization found there.

In ''At the Mountains of Madness'', he has no first name, only being called "William Dyer" in "The Shadow Out of Time".



===Danforth===

Graduate student at [[Miskatonic University]]. As part of the Pabodie Expedition, he accompanies Dyer on a survey flight over the "[[Plateau of Leng]]" and goes mad after seeing something. He is described as "a great reader of bizarre material", and makes allusions to [[Edgar Allan Poe]] and the ''[[Necronomicon]]''.

According to [[Fritz Leiber]]'s "To Arkham and the Stars", he later recovered after being treated with experimental drugs developed by [[The Dunwich Horror#Morgan, (Professor) Francis|Professor Morgan]], though he never recalled the horror he saw on the plateau. Afterwards, he became a professor of [[psychology]] at the university.


===Frank H. Pabodie===

A member of Miskatonic's [[engineering]] department, Professor Pabodie invented a drill for the expedition that was "unique and radical in its lightness, portability, and capacity...to cope quickly with strata of varying hardness." He also added "fuel-warming and quick-starting devices" to the expedition's four aircraft.<ref>Lovecraft, ''At the Mountains of Madness'', p. 4.</ref>

Lovecraft wrote of the name "Pabodie", "I chose it as a name typical of good old New England stock, yet not sufficiently common to sound conventional or hackneyed." It's an alternative spelling of "Peabody", a name Lovecraft was familiar with through the [[George Peabody|Peabody Museum]] in [[Salem, Massachusetts|Salem]].<ref>H. P. Lovecraft, ''Selected Letters'' Vol. V, p. 228; Joshi, p. 181.</ref>

===Professor Lake===

Lake is a professor of biology at Miskatonic University. It is he who first discovers the Mountains of Madness as a result of his "strange and dogged insistence on a westward--or rather, northwestward--prospecting trip" based on his discovery of strange fossils. He also discovers the ancient extraterrestrial specimens that he dubs [[Elder Things]] based on their resemblance to "certain monsters of primal myth" found in the ''Necronomicon''. He reports that his findings in Antarctica confirm his belief "that earth has seen whole cycles of organic life before known one that begins with [[Archaeozoic]] cells," and predicts that this "[w]ill mean to biology what Einstein has meant to mathematics and physics." When the Elder Things turn out to be living creatures rather than fossils, they butcher Lake and the rest of his sub-expedition. For the rest of the story, he is referred to as "poor Lake".

===Professor Atwood===

A member of the Miskatonic University [[physics]] department, and also a meteorologist. He is part of the Lake sub-expedition and is also butchered by the Elder Things.

Elder Thing

Spectrum: Added Appearances

'''Elder Things''' are a race of strange ancient aliens from the Cthulhu Mythos. They were first introduced in Lovecraft's ''[[At the Mountains of Madness]]''.

==Description==
One of the strangest of Mythos creatures, when explorers first found hibernating elder things, they were uncertain whether or not they were plants of animals.

There physical depiction is summarized in ''Mountains of Madness''.

<blockquote>"Six feet end to end, three and five-tenths feet central diameter, tapering to one foot at each end. Like a barrel with five bulging ridges in place of staves. Lateral breakages, as of thinnish stalks, are at equator in middle of these ridges. In furrows between ridges are curious growths – combs or wings that fold up and spread out like fans. . . which gives almost seven-foot wing spread. Arrangement reminds one of certain monsters of primal myth, especially fabled Elder Things in [the] Necronomicon."</blockquote>

-H. P. Lovecraft

The elder things were radially symmetrical and dark gray in coloration. Their wings, which originally allowed them to fly, became useless after thousands of years of disuse. Eyes were located at the end of the arms of the organism's starfish-shaped head. Elder things can survive both in and out of water, and once had cities across the world.
==Technology==
The Elder Things were apparently very skilled bioengineers, and are credited with creating the [[Shoggoths]] among other organisms. They are noted for building great cities using shoggoths, and also using the creatures in Wars against the [[Mi-go]], [[Yithians]] and spawn of [[Cthulhu]].

==Society==
Unlike most species of the Cthulhu Mythos, the Elder Things seem to have no religion whatsoever, and their society had even been suggested as being a socialist one. Much of Elder Thing life has been interpreted from the ruins of their great cities and the intricate cavings left on the building walls.

Spectrum: :''Not to be confused with the Mi-Go hominids.''

:''Not to be confused with the [[Mi-Go hominids]].''

The '''Mi-go''' are an alien species of creature that first appeared in the H. P. Lovecraft story "The Whisper in Darkness", also known as the '''Fungi from Yuggoth'''. The word "Mi-go" actually comes from "Migou", a Tibetan word for Yeti, and while the Mi-go do not actually look like the traditional Yeti, Lovecraft does equate them.

==Description==
While the Mi-go are described being technically fungi, they bear a great resemblance to crustaceans, namely shrimp or crayfish. While the Mi-go are never actually seen by the protagonist in the original story, second-hand reports describe them as elongated creatures with segmented bands of muscles for a body and a mass of sensory cilia for a head, and a pair of ribbed wings that would not function in our atmosphere (in the original story, they allowed them to fly through the ether of outer space, a pre-Einsteinian concept). These creatures are roughly man-sized, and are even capable of disguising themselves as humans via a mask and concealing clothing. The Mi-go are capable of learning and speaking human languages.
==Technology==
The Mi-go have mastered various fields of science, and are especially adept at surgery, as can do things such as extensively modify their own bodies, or remove human brains while keeping both brain and body alive (this allows the Mi-go to transport Human allies off-world, as the brains can be allowed to see and communicate when hooked up to special machines) . The Mi-go apparently visit earth to secretly mine its mineral resources, and have set up outposts on the planet Yuggoth, a planet in our solar system equated with Pluto.

==Leaders==
The Mi-go are said to worship [[Yog-Sothoth]], [[Nyarlathotep]], and [[Shub-Niggurath]], but to have little interest in religion as compared to scientific curiosity.

Ramsey Campbell deities

2009-11-29T10:21:11Z

Spectrum: Created

The '''Ramsey Campbell deities''' are [[supernatural]] entities created for the [[Cthulhu Mythos]] universe of shared fiction by British horror writer [[Ramsey Campbell]].

==Daoloth==
<blockquote>
[Daoloth was not] shapeless, but so complex that the eye could recognize no describable shape. There were hemispheres and shining metal, coupled by long plastic rods. The rods were of a flat gray color, so that he could not make out which were nearer; they merged into a flat mass from which protruded individual cylinders. As he looked at it, he had a curious feeling that eyes gleamed from between these rods; but wherever he glanced at the construction, he saw only the spaces between them.
 —[[Ramsey Campbell]], "The Render of the Veils"
</blockquote>

'''Daoloth''' (''The Render of Veils'' or ''The Parter of Veils'') dwells in [[dimension]]s beyond the three we know. His astrologer-priests are said to be able to see the past and the future and even how objects extend into and travel between different dimensions.

Daoloth's indescribable shape causes viewers to go mad at the sight of him; thus, he must be summoned in pitch-black darkness. If not held within some kind of magical containment, he continues to expand and expand—perhaps even at an infinite rate. Those enveloped by the god are transported to utterly bizarre and remote worlds, usually perishing as a result. Daoloth's worship is rare on earth.

==Eihort==

'''Eihort''' (''God of the Labyrinth'') first appeared "in person" in [[Ramsey Campbell]]'s short story "Before the Storm" ([[1980 in literature|1980]]). However, the being was first mentioned in Campbell's "The Franklyn Paragraphs" ([[1973 in literature|1973]]).

Eihort lives in a network of tunnels deep beneath the [[Severn Valley (Cthulhu Mythos)|Severn Valley]] in [[England]]. It appears as a "bloated [[wikt:blanched|blanched]] oval supported on myriad fleshless legs" with eyes continuously forming in its [[wikt:gelatinous|gelatinous]] body. When it captures a mortal, it offers the captive a ''bargain''. If the captive refuses, Eihort smashes the victim to death. If the captive accepts the bargain, the horror implants its immature ''brood'' inside the victim's body. The [[wikt:brood|brood]] will eventually mature and kill the host. According to the ''[[Cthulhu Mythos arcane literature#Revelations of Glaaki|Revelations of Glaaki]]'', after the fall of humanity Eihort's brood will be born into light.<ref>Harms, "Eihort", ''Encyclopedia Cthulhiana'', p. 96.</ref>

"Ei" and "Hort" are nouns of the modern German language, "Ei" meaning "egg" and "Hort" meaning "hoard".

==Glaaki==

See [[Glaaki]].

==Ghroth==
<blockquote>
[A] nineteenth century British cult believed in [a] [[comet]]-god who sang to the [[star]]s and [[planet]]s as it passed by them in its [[orbit]]. They said it destroyed those worlds it passed, by waking up [[demon]]s or ancient gods ... who slept on each world.
 —Kevin A. Ross, "The Music of the Spheres"
</blockquote>

'''Ghroth''' (''the Harbinger'') resembles a small, rust-colored [[planet]] or [[moon]] with a single, gigantic red eye which it can close to avoid detection. Ghroth drifts throughout the universe singing its [[siren song]], the ''Music of the Spheres''. As it swings by a planet, any [[Great Old One]] or Outer God sleeping there is awakened by the song. This usually results in the extinction of all life on the planet or perhaps even the utter destruction of the planet itself.<ref>Kevin A. Ross, "The Music Of The Spheres", ''Made In Goatswood'', pp. 211–222.</ref>

Ghroth is believed to be responsible for the periodic [[mass extinction]]s that wiped out 90% of all life on earth, including the extinction of the [[dinosaur]]s at the end of the [[Cretaceous]] era. It may also have caused the destruction of the planet [[Cthulhu Mythos celestial bodies#Shaggai|Shaggai]], the homeworld of the intelligent, insect-like [[Insect from Shaggai|Shan]].<ref>Daniel Harms, "Ghroth", ''The Encyclopedia Cthulhiana'', pp. 118–9.</ref> For this reason, Ghroth is also known as ''Nemesis'', or the ''Death Star'', named after the [[Nemesis (star)|Nemesis Hypothesis]], first proposed by American [[astronomer]]s [[David Raup]] and [[Jack Sepkoski]].

==The Horror Under Warrendown==

The Horror Under Warrendown was created by [[United Kingdom|British]] [[author]] [[Ramsey Campbell]] for his [[short story]] of the same name ([[1995 in literature|1995]]).

The Horror, which lives under Campbell's invented village of [[Warrendown]] in Campbell's [[Severn Valley]] setting, resembles one of the giant, [[wikt:cephalic|cephalic]] statues of [[Easter Island]], the [[Moai]], albeit one completely covered with vegetation. The plants, however, do not grow separately from the statue, but are in fact part of the Horror itself. It can extend vine-like [[wikt:tentacles|tentacles]] to capture a victim or to give a [[wikt:communion|communion]] offering to a worshipper.

The Horror possesses a strange [[wikt:mutagenic|mutagenic]] ability: Anyone who partakes of its flesh (i.e., the vegetables that grow from its plant-like overgrowth) will eventually transform into a grotesque, rabbit-like [[mutant]]. These mutants worship and serve the Horror, and are dedicated to tricking others into joining their [[cult]] by offering them fresh vegetables harvested from it.<ref>Campbell, The Horror Under Warrendown, ''Made in Goatswood'', pp. 253–68.</ref>

While the Horror is unnamed in Campbell's story, it was given the name "The Green God" in the [[Call of Cthulhu (role-playing game)|Call of Cthulhu role-playing game]].

A similar plant-like deity named E'ilor is mentioned in the short story "Correlated Contents" by James Ambuehl. Like the Horror, E'ilor dwells in a large cavern deep beneath a small farming village in the [[Severn Valley]], and possesses vine-like tentacles which can be used for capturing prey or offering communal sacrifices. Both of these deities receive brief mention in the multi-volume [[grimoire]] ''[[Cthulhu Mythos arcane literature#Revelations of Glaaki|Revelations of Glaaki]]''.

Cthylla

2009-11-29T10:15:30Z

Spectrum: Fixed link

Cthylla is a [[Great Old One]] and is the youngest progeny of [[Cthulhu]] and his androgynous mate ''Idh-yaa''. She came from the [[star]] [[Xoth]], but now dwells on Earth in [[Yhe]] where she is guarded by Cthulhu's minions. Cthylla is destined to give birth to Great Cthulhu again when he is destroyed in the distant future. She is essential for Cthulhu's plans, and is thus vigilantly guarded by countless [[Yuggya]] and [[Deep One]]s.

Cthylla was not physically described by Lumley, but was featured in Tina L. Jens's short story ''In His Daughter's Darkling Womb''. Cthylla has the appearance of a gigantic, red-bodied, black-ringed, and six-eyed octopus with small wings. Like her father, she is able to alter her body proportions at will, such as by enlarging her wings to enable her to fly. While she normally has eight arms like any octopus, she can extrude or retract additional ones at will (she has been known to sport as many as twelve arms). Each arm is equipped with dozens of razor sharp claws, each about five inches in length.

Jens's short story narrates the capture of Cthylla by researchers who mistakenly believe her to be a rare specimen of a previously undiscovered octopus species. For the sake of preserving and studying the species, they then attempt to impregnate her through artificial self-insemination.

Cthulhu Mythos celestial bodies

2009-11-29T10:14:31Z

Spectrum: /* Yuggoth */ {{main|Yuggoth}}

The following fictional '''[[Astronomical object|celestial bodies]]''' figure prominently in the [[Cthulhu Mythos]] stories of [[H. P. Lovecraft]] and other writers. Many of these astronomical bodies have parallels in the real universe, but are often renamed in the mythos and given fictitious characteristics. In addition to the celestial places created by Lovecraft, the mythos draws from a number of other sources, including the works of [[August Derleth]], [[Ramsey Campbell]], [[Lin Carter]], [[Brian Lumley]], and [[Clark Ashton Smith]].
----
'''Overview:'''
* ''Name''. The name of the celestial body appears first.
* ''Description''. A brief description follows.
* ''References''. Lastly, the stories in which the celestial body makes a ''significant'' appearance or otherwise receives important mention appear below the description. A simple two-letter code is used—the key to the codes is found '''[[Cthulhu Mythos reference codes and bibliography|here]]'''. If a code appears in '''bold''', this means that the story introduces the celestial body.

==L==
===L'gy'hx===
The planet [[Uranus]]. It is inhabited by metallic, cube-shaped beings with multiple legs. These creatures worship a minor deity known as L'rog'g (possibly another aspect of [[Nyarlathotep]]), whose rituals require a yearly sacrifice in the form of the excising of the legs from a native.

When the [[Insect from Shaggai|Insects from Shaggai]] (the Shan) arrived, the natives of L'gy'hx initially tolerated them and allowed them to build a huge city. After two centuries, the natives even came to see the Shan as co-rulers of the planet. In time, many Shan eschewed the veneration of [[Azathoth]] and began to worship the L'gy'hx deity L'rog'g. But when some natives of L'gy'hx likewise turned to the worship of Azathoth, the event prompted the priests of L'rog'g to start an inquisition, inflicting gruesome punishments on the heretics. Relations with the Shan soured quickly as a result, and the priests of L'rog'g demanded that all temples of Azathoth be removed from L'gy'hx. A small group of the Shan, still faithful to the Azathoth sect, left L'gy'hx, [[teleportation|teleporting]] themselves and their deity's temple to the planet Earth.

==M==
===Mthura===

{{CthuRefBox|AG, EF, '''TG''', VI}}

==S==
===Shaggai===
Shaggai (or Chag-Hai) is a planet orbiting twin green suns and is the homeworld of the [[Insect from Shaggai|Shan]], or Insects from Shaggai.

{{CthuRefBox|AG, BS, IL, '''IS'''}}

===Shonhi===
Shonhi (also Stronti<ref>Though the name appears as "Stronti" in [[Lin Carter]]'s fiction, it is spelled "Shonhi" in the original manuscripts for "Through the Gates of the Silver Key" (1934, Lovecraft and E.

{{CthuRefBox|'''IV'''}}

===Tond===
A mysterious planet believed to be part of our solar system, though the predominant view places it in a [[binary star]] system near Baalbo (a dark star) and its companion Yifne (a green sun). The being [[Glaaki]] is believed to have visited this world en route to Earth.
{{CthuRefBox|BS, FP, '''IL''', MV, MY, PW, RV}}

==V==
===Vhoorl===
A planet in the "twenty-third nebula" and the supposed birthplace of [[Cthulhu|Great Cthulhu]].
{{CthuRefBox|GU, '''WD'''}}

==W==
===World of Seven Suns===

Possibly a planet near [[Fomalhaut]] according to some writers. Its inhabitants created seven artificial suns to replace their dying natural sun. Lovecraft said that [[Nyarlathotep]] dwells on the World of the Seven Suns, but he makes no connection with Fomalhaut.

Others connect the Seven Suns to the seven stars of the [[Pleiades (star cluster)|Pleiades]], the [[Hyades (star cluster)|Hyades]], or possibly [[Ursa Major]]<ref>Daniel Harms thinks that the World of the Seven Suns may refer to the [[Big Dipper]] because of its association with [[Tezcatlipoca]], [[Set (mythology)|Set]], and [[Zeus]]. (Harms, ''The Encyclopedia Cthulhiana'', p. 331.)</ref>.

The sister planet of Shaggai. The Shan conquered this world and enslaved its native inhabitants, a race of carnivorous monsters. When Shaggai was destroyed, the Shan joined their brethren here and remained for some time.
{{CthuRefBox|'''IS'''}}

===Xoth===
<blockquote>[T]he spawn of [[Cthulhu]] ... came down from remote and ultra-telluric Xoth, the dim green double star that glitters like a daemonic eye in the blackness beyond Abbith. —Lin Carter, "Out of the Ages"</blockquote>

Xoth (or Zoth) is the green [[binary star]] where Cthulhu and his ilk once lived before coming to earth. According to the [[Xothic legend cycle]], it is where Cthulhu mated with [[Cthulhu#Idh-yaa|Idh-yaa]] to beget [[Ghatanothoa]], [[Xothic legend cycle#Ythogtha|Ythogtha]], and [[Xothic legend cycle#Zoth-Ommog|Zoth-Ommog]].

Xoth is also the native home of [[Tsathoggua#Ycnágnnisssz|Ycnágnnisssz]] and [[Tsathoggua#Zstylzhemghi|Zstylzhemghi]], and was the temporary home of the latter's "husband", [[Tsathoggua#Ghisguth|Ghisguth]], and their progeny, the infant [[Tsathoggua]]. Tsathoggua later went to live on Yuggoth. Afterward, he fled to Cykranosh to escape [[Tsathoggua#Cxaxukluth|Cxaxukluth]]'s cannibalistic eating habits.

Xoth may be the star [[Sirius]], since "Xoth" is similar to "Sothis", the [[Ancient Egypt#Language|Egyptian]] name for the star. However, it is more likely that Xoth coincides with the star "Zoth" in Smith's writings.

==Y==
===Yaddith===
Yaddith<ref>The first mention of Yaddith was in the "Alienation" [[sonnet]] of Lovecraft's [[poem]] ''Fungi from Yuggoth'' (1929–30). The planet next appeared in Lovecraft's [[short story]] collaboration with E. Hoffman Price "Through the Gates of the Silver Key" (1932–33), though the sub-plot about Yaddith was entirely Lovecraft's idea. In Lovecraft's [[wikt:revision|revision]] of Hazel Heald's "Out of the Aeons" (1933), Yaddith is suggested by the name of the mountain that is the dwelling place of [[Ghatanothoa]]: ''Yaddith-Gho''. Finally, in Lovecraft's "[[The Haunter of the Dark]]" (1935), the doomed character [[Robert Harrison Blake|Robert Blake]] swears an oath to the planet: "Everything depends on lightning. Yaddith grant it will keep up!"; as does Alonzo Typer in Lovecraft's revision of William Lumley's "The Diary of Alonzo Typer" (1935): "And may the Lords of Yaddith succor me". (Joshi, "Lovecraft's Other Planets", ''Selected Papers on Lovecraft'', pp. 39–40; all dates are the ''year written''.)</ref> is a distant planet that orbits five suns. Aeons ago it was inhabited by the ''Nug-Soth'', creatures with traits similar to mammals, reptiles, and insects. The Nug-Soth sought a way to prevent the destruction of their planet's crust by the [[Dhole (Cthulhu Mythos)|Dholes]], but to no avail. Eventually, the Dholes overwhelmed them and destroyed the Nug-Soth's civilization. Survivors of the catastrophe escaped, however, and hid on various planets. Life on Yaddith amongst the ''Nug-Soth'' and the Dholes that threatened them was first described in detail in [[Through the Gates of the Silver Key]] as [[Randolph Carter]] is stranded there for hundreds of years while sharing the body of Zkauba the wizard, though Lovecraft did not name the race that inhabited the planet.

[[Robert M. Price]]'s [[short story]] "Saucers from Yaddith" ([[1984 in literature|1984]]) hints that Nug-Soth scientists have appeared on Earth performing various experiments on humans—some relatively harmless (such as changing a man's [[blood type]] from B to A), some rather bizarre (two brothers in [[Middle Ages|medieval]] [[Germany#The Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation (843–1806)|Germany]] claimed that an "angel" had switched their hands and eyes), and others utterly horrific or disgusting.
{{CthuRefBox|AY, DR, [[The Haunter of the Dark|HD]], '''TG''', VI}}

===Yaksh===
Yaksh is the planet [[Neptune]] and is inhabited by strange fungous beings. Hziulquoigmnzhah dwelt here for a while after fleeing Yuggoth to escape Cxaxukluth's cannibalistic urges. Hziulquoigmnzhah was evidently worshipped by the Yakshians, but he soon tired of their venerations and moved to Cykranosh.
{{CthuRefBox|'''FT'''}}

===Yarnak===
Planet with three moons that orbits [[Betelgeuse]] in the mysterious Gray Gulf of Yarnak. The now-deserted city of Bel Yarnak is on its surface. The world may have been the one-time home of the [[Great Old One]] [[Great Old One compendium#Mnomquah|Mnomquah]].
{{CthuRefBox|'''EA''', EB}}

===Yekub===
A planet in a distant [[galaxy]]. It is inhabited by a race of technologically-advanced beings that resemble huge [[centipede]]s that are slightly larger than a human. The populace worships an entity known as ''Juk-Shabb'', which appears as a glowing, color-shifting orb. Very little is known about this deity other than it is telepathic and is greatly revered by the denizens of Yekub.

The Yekubians destroyed all intelligent life in the galaxy where they dwelt and sought to extend their influence throughout the universe. As part of their grand scheme, they sent out cube-shaped probes that could effect a [[mind transfer|mind-swap]] with any intelligent creature who found one. In this way, Yekubian agents could infiltrate the finder's world. One such cube landed on the Earth during the reign of the [[Great Race of Yith]]. When several of its members were taken over, the Yithians realized the danger of the cube and sequestered it under heavy guard. Eventually, however, the cube was lost.
{{CthuRefBox|'''CF'''}}

===Yith===

The original homeworld of the [[Great Race of Yith]], according to the [[Cthulhu Mythos arcane literature#Eltdown Shards|Eltdown Shards]]. It is described as a "black, aeon-dead orb in far space" ("The Shadow out of Time", Lovecraft). Its actual location is a mystery. Some scholars place it in our own [[solar system]], just beyond [[Pluto]]; others say it is the fourth of the five planets that orbit the star Ogntlach. Yith is said to have a thin atmosphere and seas heated by [[Geothermal power|geothermal energy]].<ref>Harms, "Yith", ''The Encyclopedia Cthulhiana'', p. 344.</ref>

A planet in the same [[star cluster]] as Abbith, Xoth, and Zaoth.

[[Yuggoth]] (or Iukkoth) is the dwarf planet [[Pluto]]. It may alternately be an enormous planet that orbits on the rim of the [[solar system]].

The planet [[Uranus]]. It is inhabited by metallic, cube-shaped beings with multiple legs. These creatures worship a minor deity known as L'rog'g (possibly another aspect of [[Nyarlathotep]]), whose rituals require a yearly sacrifice in the form of the excising of the legs from a native.

When the [[Insect from Shaggai|Insects from Shaggai]] (the Shan) arrived, the natives of L'gy'hx initially tolerated them and allowed them to build a huge city. After two centuries, the natives even came to see the Shan as co-rulers of the planet. In time, many Shan eschewed the veneration of [[Azathoth]] and began to worship the L'gy'hx deity L'rog'g. But when some natives of L'gy'hx likewise turned to the worship of Azathoth, the event prompted the priests of L'rog'g to start an inquisition, inflicting gruesome punishments on the heretics. Relations with the Shan soured quickly as a result, and the priests of L'rog'g demanded that all temples of Azathoth be removed from L'gy'hx. A small group of the Shan, still faithful to the Azathoth sect, left L'gy'hx, [[teleportation|teleporting]] themselves and their deity's temple to the planet Earth.

Dark planet inhabited by crystalline beings and the dwelling place of the [[Great Old One]] [[Q'yth-az]]. The Nug-Soth of Yaddith journeyed to this world in hopes of finding a magical formula that would defeat the [[Dhole (Cthulhu Mythos)|Dholes]].
{{CthuRefBox|AG, EF, '''TG''', VI}}

==S==
===Shaggai===
Shaggai (or Chag-Hai) is a planet orbiting twin green suns and is the homeworld of the [[Insect from Shaggai|Shan]], or Insects from Shaggai.

{{CthuRefBox|GP, '''TG'''}}

==T==
===Thuggon===
A planet where the Insects from Shaggai dwelt for a while. They initially believed the planet was uninhabited; but when their slaves began disappearing, they soon discovered the terrible truth. They left shortly thereafter.
{{CthuRefBox|'''IS'''}}

===Thyoph===
A huge planet that broke apart to form the [[asteroid belt]]. According to the [[Cthulhu Mythos arcane literature#G'harne Fragments|G'harne Fragments]], the event was caused by a "seed of [[Azathoth]]".

{{CthuRefBox|BS, FP, '''IL''', MV, MY, PW, RV}}

==V==
===Vhoorl===
A planet in the "twenty-third nebula" and the supposed birthplace of [[Cthulhu|Great Cthulhu]].
{{CthuRefBox|GU, '''WD'''}}

==W==
===World of Seven Suns===

Possibly a planet near [[Fomalhaut]] according to some writers. Its inhabitants created seven artificial suns to replace their dying natural sun. Lovecraft said that [[Nyarlathotep]] dwells on the World of the Seven Suns, but he makes no connection with Fomalhaut.

Others connect the Seven Suns to the seven stars of the [[Pleiades (star cluster)|Pleiades]], the [[Hyades (star cluster)|Hyades]], or possibly [[Ursa Major]]<ref>Daniel Harms thinks that the World of the Seven Suns may refer to the [[Big Dipper]] because of its association with [[Tezcatlipoca]], [[Set (mythology)|Set]], and [[Zeus]]. (Harms, ''The Encyclopedia Cthulhiana'', p. 331.)</ref>.

The sister planet of Shaggai. The Shan conquered this world and enslaved its native inhabitants, a race of carnivorous monsters. When Shaggai was destroyed, the Shan joined their brethren here and remained for some time.
{{CthuRefBox|'''IS'''}}

===Xoth===
<blockquote>[T]he spawn of [[Cthulhu]] ... came down from remote and ultra-telluric Xoth, the dim green double star that glitters like a daemonic eye in the blackness beyond Abbith. —Lin Carter, "Out of the Ages"</blockquote>

Xoth (or Zoth) is the green [[binary star]] where Cthulhu and his ilk once lived before coming to earth. According to the [[Xothic legend cycle]], it is where Cthulhu mated with [[Cthulhu#Idh-yaa|Idh-yaa]] to beget [[Ghatanothoa]], [[Xothic legend cycle#Ythogtha|Ythogtha]], and [[Xothic legend cycle#Zoth-Ommog|Zoth-Ommog]].

Xoth is also the native home of [[Tsathoggua#Ycnágnnisssz|Ycnágnnisssz]] and [[Tsathoggua#Zstylzhemghi|Zstylzhemghi]], and was the temporary home of the latter's "husband", [[Tsathoggua#Ghisguth|Ghisguth]], and their progeny, the infant [[Tsathoggua]]. Tsathoggua later went to live on Yuggoth. Afterward, he fled to Cykranosh to escape [[Tsathoggua#Cxaxukluth|Cxaxukluth]]'s cannibalistic eating habits.

Xoth may be the star [[Sirius]], since "Xoth" is similar to "Sothis", the [[Ancient Egypt#Language|Egyptian]] name for the star. However, it is more likely that Xoth coincides with the star "Zoth" in Smith's writings.

==Y==
===Yaddith===
Yaddith<ref>The first mention of Yaddith was in the "Alienation" [[sonnet]] of Lovecraft's [[poem]] ''Fungi from Yuggoth'' (1929–30). The planet next appeared in Lovecraft's [[short story]] collaboration with E. Hoffman Price "Through the Gates of the Silver Key" (1932–33), though the sub-plot about Yaddith was entirely Lovecraft's idea. In Lovecraft's [[wikt:revision|revision]] of Hazel Heald's "Out of the Aeons" (1933), Yaddith is suggested by the name of the mountain that is the dwelling place of [[Ghatanothoa]]: ''Yaddith-Gho''. Finally, in Lovecraft's "[[The Haunter of the Dark]]" (1935), the doomed character [[Robert Harrison Blake|Robert Blake]] swears an oath to the planet: "Everything depends on lightning. Yaddith grant it will keep up!"; as does Alonzo Typer in Lovecraft's revision of William Lumley's "The Diary of Alonzo Typer" (1935): "And may the Lords of Yaddith succor me". (Joshi, "Lovecraft's Other Planets", ''Selected Papers on Lovecraft'', pp. 39–40; all dates are the ''year written''.)</ref> is a distant planet that orbits five suns. Aeons ago it was inhabited by the ''Nug-Soth'', creatures with traits similar to mammals, reptiles, and insects. The Nug-Soth sought a way to prevent the destruction of their planet's crust by the [[Dhole (Cthulhu Mythos)|Dholes]], but to no avail. Eventually, the Dholes overwhelmed them and destroyed the Nug-Soth's civilization. Survivors of the catastrophe escaped, however, and hid on various planets. Life on Yaddith amongst the ''Nug-Soth'' and the Dholes that threatened them was first described in detail in [[Through the Gates of the Silver Key]] as [[Randolph Carter]] is stranded there for hundreds of years while sharing the body of Zkauba the wizard, though Lovecraft did not name the race that inhabited the planet.

[[Robert M. Price]]'s [[short story]] "Saucers from Yaddith" ([[1984 in literature|1984]]) hints that Nug-Soth scientists have appeared on Earth performing various experiments on humans—some relatively harmless (such as changing a man's [[blood type]] from B to A), some rather bizarre (two brothers in [[Middle Ages|medieval]] [[Germany#The Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation (843–1806)|Germany]] claimed that an "angel" had switched their hands and eyes), and others utterly horrific or disgusting.
{{CthuRefBox|AY, DR, [[The Haunter of the Dark|HD]], '''TG''', VI}}

===Yaksh===
Yaksh is the planet [[Neptune]] and is inhabited by strange fungous beings. Hziulquoigmnzhah dwelt here for a while after fleeing Yuggoth to escape Cxaxukluth's cannibalistic urges. Hziulquoigmnzhah was evidently worshipped by the Yakshians, but he soon tired of their venerations and moved to Cykranosh.
{{CthuRefBox|'''FT'''}}

===Yarnak===
Planet with three moons that orbits [[Betelgeuse]] in the mysterious Gray Gulf of Yarnak. The now-deserted city of Bel Yarnak is on its surface. The world may have been the one-time home of the [[Great Old One]] [[Great Old One compendium#Mnomquah|Mnomquah]].
{{CthuRefBox|'''EA''', EB}}

===Yekub===
A planet in a distant [[galaxy]]. It is inhabited by a race of technologically-advanced beings that resemble huge [[centipede]]s that are slightly larger than a human. The populace worships an entity known as ''Juk-Shabb'', which appears as a glowing, color-shifting orb. Very little is known about this deity other than it is telepathic and is greatly revered by the denizens of Yekub.

The Yekubians destroyed all intelligent life in the galaxy where they dwelt and sought to extend their influence throughout the universe. As part of their grand scheme, they sent out cube-shaped probes that could effect a [[mind transfer|mind-swap]] with any intelligent creature who found one. In this way, Yekubian agents could infiltrate the finder's world. One such cube landed on the Earth during the reign of the [[Great Race of Yith]]. When several of its members were taken over, the Yithians realized the danger of the cube and sequestered it under heavy guard. Eventually, however, the cube was lost.
{{CthuRefBox|'''CF'''}}

===Yith===

The original homeworld of the [[Great Race of Yith]], according to the [[Cthulhu Mythos arcane literature#Eltdown Shards|Eltdown Shards]]. It is described as a "black, aeon-dead orb in far space" ("The Shadow out of Time", Lovecraft). Its actual location is a mystery. Some scholars place it in our own [[solar system]], just beyond [[Pluto]]; others say it is the fourth of the five planets that orbit the star Ogntlach. Yith is said to have a thin atmosphere and seas heated by [[Geothermal power|geothermal energy]].<ref>Harms, "Yith", ''The Encyclopedia Cthulhiana'', p. 344.</ref>

Cthulhu Mythos celestial bodies

2009-11-29T10:11:45Z

Spectrum: Copied from Wikipedia

The following fictional '''[[Astronomical object|celestial bodies]]''' figure prominently in the [[Cthulhu Mythos]] stories of [[H. P. Lovecraft]] and other writers. Many of these astronomical bodies have parallels in the real universe, but are often renamed in the mythos and given fictitious characteristics. In addition to the celestial places created by Lovecraft, the mythos draws from a number of other sources, including the works of [[August Derleth]], [[Ramsey Campbell]], [[Lin Carter]], [[Brian Lumley]], and [[Clark Ashton Smith]].
----
'''Overview:'''
* ''Name''. The name of the celestial body appears first.
* ''Description''. A brief description follows.
* ''References''. Lastly, the stories in which the celestial body makes a ''significant'' appearance or otherwise receives important mention appear below the description. A simple two-letter code is used—the key to the codes is found '''[[Cthulhu Mythos reference codes and bibliography|here]]'''. If a code appears in '''bold''', this means that the story introduces the celestial body.

In this way, Yekubian agents could infiltrate the finder's world. One such cube landed on the Earth during the reign of the [[Great Race of Yith]]. When several of its members were taken over, the Yithians realized the danger of the cube and sequestered it under heavy guard. Eventually, however, the cube was lost.

Serpent Men

2009-10-17T14:51:07Z

Spectrum: /* See also */

'''Serpent Men''' are a fictional race created by [[Robert E. Howard]] for his [[King Kull]] tales. They first appeared in "[[The Shadow Kingdom]]," published in ''[[Weird Tales]]'' in August of 1929.

They were later adapted for the [[Marvel Comics]] [[Conan (comics)|Conan]] comics by [[Roy Thomas]] and [[Marie Severin]]. Their first [[Marvel Universe]] appearance was in ''Kull the Conqueror'' vol.1 #2 (September, 1971). They were also used in the 1992 ''[[Conan the Adventurer (animated series)|Conan the Adventurer]]'' [[animated series]]. They were also adapted into H. P. Lovecraft's [[Cthulhu Mythos]] by writers like [[Lin Carter]] and [[Clark Ashton Smith]].

==Origin and society==
In Robert E. Howard's King Kull stories, the serpent people worship a god known as the Great Serpent. Later writers would identify the Great Serpent with the [[Great Old One]] [[Yig]] and with the [[Stygian]] serpent god [[Set (serpent god)|Set]] from Howard's [[Conan the Barbarian|Conan]] stories.

The Serpent Men were created untold aeons ago by the Great Serpent. At some point the Serpent Men group split, with one group becoming the Man-Serpents- these creatures, unlike their kin and predecessors, have the bodies of giant serpents and the heads of human beings, with smaller snakes for hair like Medusa. A Man-Serpent is the titular being in the Conan story "The God in the Bowl". Man-Serpents have hypnotic gazes and lethally venomous bites, as well as terrible crushing strength.

The seat of the First Empire of the serpent people, during the [[Paleozoic]] era, was [[Valusia]]. Valusia is a [[fictional country]] in the Kull stories of Robert E. Howard, located on the west coast of the main continent of [[Thuria]]. The empire was based on [[Magic (paranormal)|sorcery]] and [[alchemy]], but collapsed with the rise of the [[dinosaur]]s about 225 million years ago during the [[Triassic]] era. The Serpent Men originally ruled over humans in Valusia but were defeated and almost wiped out in humanity's battle for survival against the "elder things" that predated them. Over time, humans dominated Valusia and the Serpent Men became a legend. The Serpent Men, one of the few surviving "elder things", infiltrated human society and ruled from behind the scenes for a time but were again discovered, defeated and cast out in a secret war. However, they later repeated this tactic but added the front of a Snake Cult religion, which gained power and influence within Valusia while they also used their abilities of disguise to murder and replace each reigning monarch. Their power is eventually broken by King Kull, formerly an Atlantean barbarian who had recently conquered Valusia, and the Pict Brule the Spear-Slayer, whose society was aware of the Serpent Men's infiltration.

After the destruction of Valusia, the serpent men escaped to [[Yoth]], a cavern beneath [[K'n-yan]] in [[North America]] (ironically, the Pictish Isles of the Kull stories). They built subterranean cities, of which only ruins remain in the modern age. Explorers from K'n-yan visited Yoth frequently to learn more of the serpent men's scientific lore. Their next downfall came when they brought idols of [[Tsathoggua]] from N'kai and abandoned their patron deity [[Yig]] to worship their new god. As retribution Yig placed his curse upon them, forcing his few remaining worshipers to flee to caverns beneath [[Mount Voormithadreth]].

Cursed by Yig, some serpent men degenerated into more and more bestial forms, eventually becoming mere giant snakes. Some sources claim that the [[worms of the earth]] were degenerate serpent men, while other stories describe the "worms" as descended from humans.

==Appearance and abilities==
Serpent Men are [[humanoid]]s with [[Snake scales|scaled]] skin and snake-like heads. They possess magical abilities, the most common of which is the use of [[illusion]] to disguise themselves as a human. In some stories, the ghost of someone killed by a Serpent Man becomes the Serpent Man's slave. Due to the shape of their mouths, Serpent Men cannot utter the phrase "Ka nama kaa lajerama." Howard's character Kull uses the phrase as a [[shibboleth]] in the story ''The Shadow Kingdom''.

==Earlier Serpent Men==
Robert E. Howard was not the first to write about prehistoric serpent people. Another pulp writer, [[Abraham Merritt]], created a similar pre-human serpentine race surviving from the Mesozoic era in his story "The Face in the Abyss" which first appeared in a [[1923]] issue of [[Argosy (magazine)|Argosy magazine]]. A sequel, "The Snake Mother," also appeared in Argosy in [[1930]] and both were collected in a book-length version in [[1931]]. In this story line, the last surviving Serpent-Woman is an ally of the human protagonists.

==Cthulhu Mythos==
[[Lin Carter]] and [[Clark Ashton Smith]] adapted the race for inclusion in the [[Cthulhu Mythos]], inspired by [[H. P. Lovecraft]]'s short story "[[The Nameless City]]", which refers to an Arabian city built by a pre-human reptilian race. Lovecraft's story "[[The Haunter of the Dark]]" explicitly mentions the "serpent men of Valusia" as being one-time possessors of the [[Shining Trapezohedron]]. However, the Cthulhu Mythos were already connected to the works of Robert E. Howard (a contemporary and correspondent of H. P. Lovecraft as well as a direct contributor to the Mythos itself). In this case, the Serpent Men were created for the very first Kull story, the character of Kull later made an appearance in a [[Bran Mak Morn]] story, ''[[Kings of the Night]]'', while in another such story, ''[[Worms of the Earth]]'', Bran Mak Morn explicitly refers to [[Cthulhu]] and [[R'lyeh]]. Many [[Conan the Barbarian|Conan]] stories by Howard are also part of the Mythos.

==Conan==
The fictional settings of King Kull and Robert E. Howard's other creation, [[Conan the Barbarian]], are linked through Howards essay ''[[The Hyborian Age]]''. This states that Valusia, and its Thurian Age, existed in some time before Conan's Hyborian Age (the land was reshaped in between the story cycles by an undefined [[cataclysm]]). The Serpent Men did not, however, appear in any Conan story written by Robert E. Howard himself.

In 1971, the [[Serpent-Men (comics)|Serpent Men]] appeared in a comic book adaptation of the King Kull stories, published by [[Marvel Comics]]. Since then they have been imported into the Conan comics, as well as other adaptations and Conan pastiches. The Serpent Men were the main antagonists, personified by the wizard "Wrath-Amon", in the [[animated series]] ''[[Conan the Adventurer (animated series)|Conan the Adventurer]]''. This retained the Serpent Men's ability to infiltrate human society in disguise (in the cartoon, this disguise failed in the presence of meteoric "star metal", contact with which also sent a Serpent Man back to "the Abyss").

==He-Man's Snake Men==
Persistent but unverified claims suggest that the [[He-Man]] franchise was originally intended as a Conan toy line. If this is true, the equivalent to the Serpent Men in that franchise would be the [[Snake Men]].

As with Howard's work, the Snake Men come from the distant past and fought against the character [[He-Ro]]/Lord Grayskull (who would be equivalent to Howard's character [[Kull of Atlantis|Kull]]). As with the ''Conan the Adventurer'' animated series, the Snake Men were banished to another dimension in the past and were attempting to return to power in the present.

==The Spider==
In the Spider short story "Fear Itself" (published in The Spider Chronicles by Moonstone in 2007) by Joel Frieman and C.J. Henderson, an occult expert named Guicet enlists the Spider's aid in defeating a group of Serpent Men who acquire a duplicate of the Cobra Crown from Conan the Buccaneer. In The Phantom Chronicles, worshippers of Set appear, but no Serpent Men.

Worms of the Earth (race)

2009-10-16T20:50:23Z

Spectrum: Aka Children of the Night

:''For the short story by Robert E. Howard, see [[Worms of the Earth]].''

The '''worms of the earth''', also called the '''Children of the Night''', are a race of almost-human beings created by [[Robert E. Howard]]. It is said that they came to the British Isles at a very early time. They were followed by the Picts and later the Celts, who fought the "worms" and drove them out. By the time of [[Bran Mak Morn]] (somewhere between 100 and 300 C.E.), the "worms" were horribly degenerate things that lived underground. They appeared to be individually weak but wielded powerful magic as a group.

Howard's stories make it clear that the "worms" are descended from humans and had once been human, before degenerating into bestial, reptilian-looking things. However, the role-playing game ''[[Cthulhu Dark Ages]]'' re-interprets the worms of the earth as being descendants of the [[Serpent Men]] that worshipped [[Tsathoggua]] and were cursed by [[Yig]] to slowly degenerate into beasts.
