'''Father Dagon and Mother Hydra''' (see also [[Cthulhu] and the [[Deep One]]s])

Origin:  [[H.P. Lovecraft]], originally referenced in the title to the story "[[Dagon]]" (based on a dream of Lovecraft's), and expanded on slightly for "[[The Shadow Over Innsmouth (fiction)]]".  Father Dagon (and to a lesser extent Mother Hydra) would be treated as distinct Mythos entities in ''[[Call of Cthulhu (RPG)]]'' and media inspired by the game.

==Heresies and Controversies==
<!-- 
(Optional.  This is a good place to include non-canon and controversial 
aspects of the Great Old One's mythos.  Suggested Alternative Theories 
include:  Derleth's elemental scheme; pseudo-science interpretation; 
"fanon" interpretations; unofficial humorous or eccentric takes on 
the mythos like Lovecraft's family tree; identification with "Real 
Life" mythological, religious, folklore, natural, and historical 
phenomena; fan theories; monster-makeover suggestions; such rumor and 
speculation contribute some flexibility and ambiguity to the mythos.)
