| − | [Daoloth was not] shapeless, but so complex that the eye could recognize no describable shape. There were hemispheres and shining metal, coupled by long plastic rods. The rods were of a flat gray color, so that he could not make out which were nearer; they merged into a flat mass from which protruded individual cylinders. As he looked at it, he had a curious feeling that eyes gleamed from between these rods; but wherever he glanced at the construction, he saw only the spaces between them. | |

| − | '''Daoloth''' (''The Render of Veils'' or ''The Parter of Veils'') dwells in [[dimension]]s beyond the three we know. His astrologer-priests are said to be able to see the past and the future and even how objects extend into and travel between different dimensions.

| − | Daoloth's indescribable shape causes viewers to go mad at the sight of him; thus, he must be summoned in pitch-black darkness. If not held within some kind of magical containment, he continues to expand and expand—perhaps even at an infinite rate. Those enveloped by the god are transported to utterly bizarre and remote worlds, usually perishing as a result. Daoloth's worship is rare on earth.

| − | '''Ghroth''' (''the Harbinger'') resembles a small, rust-colored planet or moon with a single, gigantic red eye which it can close to avoid detection. Ghroth drifts throughout the universe singing its siren song, the ''Music of the Spheres''. As it swings by a planet, any [[Great Old Ones (Deities)|Great Old One]] or Outer God sleeping there is awakened by the song. This usually results in the extinction of all life on the planet or perhaps even the utter destruction of the planet itself. (Kevin A. Ross, "The Music Of The Spheres", ''Made In Goatswood'', pp. 211 & 222).

| − | Ghroth is believed to be responsible for the periodic mass extinctions that wiped out 90% of all life on earth, including the extinction of the dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous era. It may also have caused the destruction of the planet [[Cthulhu Mythos celestial bodies#Shaggai|Shaggai]], the homeworld of the intelligent, insect-like [[Insect from Shaggai|Shan]]. (Daniel Harms, "Ghroth", ''The Encyclopedia Cthulhiana'', pp. 118 & 119) For this reason, Ghroth is also known as ''Nemesis'', or the ''Death Star'', named after the Nemesis Hypothesis, first proposed by American astronomers David Raup and Jack Sepkoski. | |
