'''Ghisghuth''', father of [[Tsathoggua]]; alternative spelling of Ghizghuth (Ghisghuth appears to be the spelling favoured by C.A.Smith, but the "Ghizghuth" spelling appears in ''Planets and Dimensions'' by C.A.Smith, Mirage Press, 1973), sometimes also spelled Ghizguth and Ghisguth.

Origin: (uncertain; appears to be a creation of [[Clark Ashton Smith]], and perhaps only mentioned in that author's "[[Azathoth Family Tree|Family Tree of the Gods]]")



==In the Mythos==

Ghizghuth, the male progeny born of [[Cxaxukluth]] in a far system, father of [[Tsathoggua]] upon its 'wife', [[Zstylzhemgni]]. ("[http://www.eldritchdark.com/writings/nonfiction/45/the-family-tree-of-the-gods The Family Tree of the Gods]" by Clark Ashton Smith)

==Heresies and Controversies==

* This [[Great Old One]] was mentioned by [[Clark Ashton Smith]] in his "[[Azathoth Family Tree|Family Tree of the Gods]]".
* In the [[Hyperborean Cycle]] one of the male spawn of [[Cxaxukluth]] born on a far system. Its "wife" is [[Zstylzhemgni]], and by "her" it became the "father" of [[Tsathoggua]] and cousin to [[Cthulhu|Kthulhut (Cthulhu)]]. [[H.P. Lovecraft lists]] [[Nug and Yeb|Yeb]] as [[Tsathoggua]]'s father in his [[Azathoth Family Tree|genealogy]], suggesting that this is another name for [[Nug and Yeb|Yeb]], however this does give rise to the oddity of [[Nug and Yeb|Nug]]/[[Cxaxukluth]] spawning its own twin brother [[Nug and Yeb|Yeb]] if this is the correct identification of these beings! Probably [[Ptmâk]] and [[Cxaxukluth]] as [[Nug and Yeb]], with [[Ghizghuth]] being an unknown spawn and the relationship being more complex than the Lovecraft Genealogy suggests. Also spelt Ghisghuth and Ghizguth. ([http://www.eldritchdark.com/articles/criticism/64 eldritchdark.com - a Hyperborean Dictionary])
