Under Construction! Some (or all) of the information on this page was started by a (well meaning) fanatical cultist, but was never completed, and appears to have been abandoned. Please help complete it if you are able! See this YSDC Forum discussion for details on how you can help: (link) Problem logged on: Sep 26, 2021 The specific problem is: Under Construction (More details may be found on the Discussion Page.)
Y'golonac is a Great Old One and the god of perversion and depravity – not just "average" human perversions or depravities, but any that can be conceived of by a sapient being (sane or otherwise). His demeanor is much like that of Nyarlathotep, but he is much more perverse and sadistic. Y'golonac can sometimes be summoned merely by reading his name in the Revelations of Glaaki.
Y'golonac is imprisoned behind a wall of bricks in unknown ruins. His true form is uncertain, but when he possesses a human host to manifest, he appears as a grotesquely obese man, lacking a head or neck, with a mouth in the palm of each hand.
Unlike most of Lovecraft's deities, Y'golonac is clearly capable of understanding humans, to the point of being able to conduct a conversation in English through his human host. Y'golonac seeks humans who read perverse and forbidden literature to become his servants. When Y'golonac is summoned, he offers to grant the summoner the dubious honor of becoming his priest, or simply kills him for food.
