Lin Carter's "Xothic Cycle", detailed in the short stories collected in The Xothic Legend Cycle, described the race of aliens which invaded Darth from planet Xoth in prehistory: Great Cthulhu, and the various "Star-Spawn" fathered on Idh-yaa the World-Maggot which accompanied their father and High Priest through space in conquest of the Earth, together with their various servitor races.
Elements of this sub-Mythos include:
Great Old Ones:
- Cthulhu, said to be the "husband" of Idh-yaa
- Dagon and Hydra, either exceptional members of the Deep One servitor race, or Great Old Ones in their own right, or even Cthulhu itself, depending on who you ask
- Zoth-Ommog, said to be the son of Cthulhu
- Ythogtha, said to be the son of Cthulhu
- Cthylla, said to be the daughter of Cthulhu
- Ghatanothoa, said to be the spawn of Cthulhu
- Gloon, a Great Old One associated with the Deep Ones
- Ub-Bg'zth AKA Ubb, apparently related in some way to Zoth-Ommog
- Chaat, another soggy Great Old One with a suspicious resemblance to the likes of Cthulhu or Dagon
- Hastur, said to be a "brother" of Cthulhu, with a very similar octopoid appearance
- Tsathoggua, said to originate on Xoth as well as a "cousin" of Cthulhu
Servitor Races:
- Star-Spawn of Cthulhu AKA Xothan (the catch-all name for the Great Old Ones and races descended from planet Xoth)
- Deep One, a fishy alien race that serves Cthulhu and Dagon
- Deep One Hybrids, hybrids between Deep Ones and humans
- Child of Chaat, a sort of Deep One-like race that serves Chaat
- Servant of Gloon, a sort of Deep One-like race that serves Gloon
- Yugg, a sort of Deep One-like race, resembling Zoth-Ommog, which serves Ub-B'gzth
- Yuggya, a hybrid Yugg
Locations:
- Abyss of Yhe, near Ponape and R'lyeh
- Lake of Hali, on Carcosa
- Planet Xoth, home planet of the Xothan race, which is clustered with Abbith, Ymar, and Zaoth
Tomes and Cults:
- The Ponape Scripture, details the history, nature, and mythos of the Xothan cults
- Cthäat Aquadingen, similar content to The Ponape Scripture
- Esoteric Order of Dagon, cult connected to Devil's Reef and Innsmouth by way of Captain Obed Marsh, who established the cult after making a terrible bargain with the Deep Ones; serves Cthulhu under the name "Dagon' with a bastardized version of the Cthulhu Mythos
- Cult of Cthulhu, world-spanning cult serving Cthulhu
- Fellowship Within the Water, a comparatively peaceful cult of people who believe themselves to be Children of Chaat (which could possibly include other, similar races like Deep Ones)
