Contents
In the Mythos
Cxaxukluth, androgynous cannibal spawn of Azathoth, and progenitor of Ghisghuth, Hzioulquoigmnzhah, and Tulu. Cxaxukluth came with its family (which already included Ghisguth's wife, Zstylzhemgni, and the infant Tsathoggua) to Yuggoth, where Cxaxukluth has most mercifully continued to sojourn throughout the aeons.

Heresies and Controversies
- This Great Old One was mentioned by Clark Ashton Smith in his "Family Tree of the Gods".
- It appeared for a long time like Cxaxukluth had (either directly or indirectly) spawned Cthulhu on the planet Vhoorl, however an obscure text elucidates us: a god called Ptmâk is the direct father of Cthulhu, and thus "brother" (and missing twin) to Cxaxukluth, making Ptmâk and Cxaxukluth the Hyperborean names for Nug and Yeb; Cxaxukluth is probably Yeb.
