			==Cult==
			The Green God has no organized cult outside of [[Severn_Valley#Warrendown\|Warrendown]]; the Warrendown cult acquires new followers by feeding bits of the Green God to victims, either willing or unsuspecting, who then become rabbit-like [[Child of the Green God\|Children of the Green God]].

The Green God, AKA "The Horror" or "The Horror Under Warrendown", is from [[Ramsey Campbell]]'s "The Horror Under Warrendown".



==In the Mythos==

<blockquote>
Quote:
<br>— Ramsey Campbell, "The Horror Under Warrendown"
</blockquote>

The Horror, which lives under [[Ramsey Campbell]]'s fictional village of [[Warrendown]] in the [[Severn Valley]] setting, resembles one of the giant, cephalic statues of Easter Island, though actually a subterranean vegetable completely covered with vines which are actually part of the Horror itself, which can be extended like tentacles to capture victims, or to give a communion offering to The Green God's worshipers.

==Heresies and Controversies==

* A similar plant-like deity named [[E'ilor]] is mentioned in the short story "Correlated Contents" by [[James Ambuehl]]. Like the Green God, [[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.

==Keeper Notes==


==[[Children of the Green God]]==

The Horror possesses a strange 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 "[[Children of the Green God]]", who worship and serve the Horror, and are dedicated to tricking others into joining their cult by offering them fresh vegetables harvested from it.
