Father Dagon and Mother Hydra (see also [[Cthulhu] and the Deep Ones])

Origin: H.P. Lovecraft, originally referenced in the title to the story "Dagon" (based on a dream of Lovecraft's), and expanded on slightly for "The Shadow Over Innsmouth (fiction)". Father Dagon (and to a lesser extent Mother Hydra) would be treated as distinct Mythos entities in Call of Cthulhu (RPG) and media inspired by the game.
