Ghatanothoa

'''Ghatanothoa''' the Dark God appears in [[H. P. Lovecraft]] and Hazel Heald's story "Out of the Aeons". It is a huge, misshapen monster whose form is so hideous that merely seeing it transforms the viewer into a petrified body with leathery skin and preserved organs. The victim's brain remains alive, going mad from its confinement.

Ghatanothoa lived in the mountains of Mu when that continent existed. It was worshipped by a hundred priests, who possessed great privileges. The job of these priests was to appease the monster so that it would not emerge from its secret lair, endangering the people.

In the "Year of the Red Moon", T'yog, a priest of [[Shub-Niggurath]], attempted to save mankind from Ghatanothoa. He created a magical scroll to protect him from Ghatanothoa's petrifying power by prayer to Shub-Niggurath, [[Nug and Yeb]], and other deities. With this, he believed he could physically encounter the god and force it to parlay with him. He believed that this could gain him immense power, as well as benefiting the human race.
The priests of Ghatanothoa replaced it secretly with a powerless imitation. Thus, T'yog too was petrified into a half-living statue, which lasted up until the modern era.

Azathoth

Vultur:

'''Azathoth''' is the most powerful god-like being in the [[Cthulhu Mythos]]. He is sometimes called the "Daemon Sultan". He sits and dreams in a court at the center of infinity, attended by monstrous servitors whose fluting lulls him, as well as by lesser gods.
He is described as a "nuclear chaos", a "blind idiot god" who created the universe without knowledge or caring.
Nyarlathotep is the primary servant of Azathoth, and perhaps a manifestation of Azathoth, but he uses his great intelligence to manipulate the mindless god.
