Zhar and Lloigornos (AKA: "Zhar and Lloigor", "The Star-Treaders", "The Twin Obscenities") are from August Derleth's "The Lair of the Star-Spawn".

Lloigornos, also known as Lloigor, should not be confused with the Mythos race, Lloigor.


In the Mythos

The thing that crouched in the weird green dusk was a living mass of shuddering horror, a ghastly mountain of sensate, quivering flesh, whose tentacles, far-flung in the dim reaches of the subterranean cavern, emitted a strange humming sound, while from the depths of the creature's body came a weird and horrific ululation.
August Derleth, "The Lair of the Star-Spawn"

Zhar and Lloigornos dwell together as a ghastly, writing mounting of quivering, tentacled flesh, imprisoned and buried in a dead city under the Plateau of Sung (or Tsang) in China.


Cult

There seems to have been a cult of Zhar and Lloigornos in what is China today, being entombed in a dead (and likely prehistoric or even pre-human) city in the Plateau of Sung/Tsang, but that cult seems to be long extinct. It might be revived, however, on the day that the city is unearthed....
