The '''Idol of Bokrug''' is first described in [[H.P. Lovecraft]]'s "[[The Doom that Came to Sarnath (fiction)]]".

==Description==
[[File:Tome PapyrusOfIlarnek.png|200px|thumb|right|''[[Papyrus of Ilarnek]]'', illustration by [[Justin Hampton]]]]
<blockquote>
Thus of [[Mnar#Ib|the very ancient city of Ib]] was nothing spared save the sea-green stone idol chiselled in the likeness of [[Bokrug|Bokrug, the water-lizard]]. This the young warriors took back with them to [[Mnar#Sarnath|Sarnath]] as a symbol of conquest over the old gods and [[Being of Ib|Beings of Ib]], and a sign of leadership in [[Mnar]]. But on the night after it was set up in the temple a terrible thing must have happened, for weird lights were seen over the lake, and in the morning the people found the idol gone, and the high-priest Taran-Ish lying dead, as from some fear unspeakable. And before he died, Taran-Ish had scrawled upon the altar of chrysolite with coarse shaky strokes the sign of DOOM.
<br>— [[H.P. Lovecraft]] "[[The Doom that Came to Sarnath (fiction)]]"
</blockquote>

A cursed idol of sea-green stone found in the Dreamland of [[Mnar]], where it was worshiped in Ib by the cult of [[Bokrug]] the water-lizard; it was taken in conquest by the city of Sarnath after the cult was murdered, but cast into the lake of Ib after it brought doom upon the Temple of Sarnath and its priest, heralded by weird lights seen over the lake, escalating to the death of the priest, and culminating in a pronouncement of Doom that came upon Sarnath.
