Cthulhu Mythos villains: Least Evil to Most Evil

Inspired by WickedBinge. 

H. P. Lovecraft is considered one of the masters of horror being the one who introduced the world to the dreaded Great Dreamer of R'lyeh who would one day awaken and spell destruction for mankind. Lovecraft and his contemporaries crafted the Cthulhu Mythos, a shared collaborated effort. While the various gods of the Mythos are meant to be incomprehensible by human standards (and they don't fall under conventional morality), there are a few actively malicious gods that are fully aware of mankind and exert their powers over them. When ranking, it is best understood that there is a division between the gods such as the cosmic level Outer Gods, and the lower-class gods known as the Great Old Ones.

Most Evil of the gods would be the Defiler, Y'golonac. Created by Ramsey Campbell and appearing in his short story The Cold Print, Y'golonac is the god of depravity and carnal sins. He has complete knowledge over every perversion known to a sapient being and hunts out specifically those who indulge in closeted depravities by offering them forbidden literature. Oftentimes when Y'golonac's name is said aloud, it is enough to summon him. He manifests as a fat man with mouths on his hands and headless. If summoned, he would ask the summoner to be his priest; if they refuse, he eats them.

Silver medal of evil would go to the Crawling Chaos Nyarlathotep. The son of Azathoth, Nyarlathotep is the closest thing the Mythos has to the Devil. He travels the world sewing nightmares wherever he went, manipulating people into worshiping his thousand forms and oftentimes committing mass murder and other evils. First appearing in the 1920 poem of the same name, Nyarlathotep appears out of Egypt resembling one of the pharaohs of old. He entices several people with his supernatural charms but cast them out of their city to the country and beyond when he was being heckled. Nyarlathotep enjoys bringing suffering to humans and driving them mad his ultimate goal being to release the other gods. While he could destroy the world anytime, he staves it off to further indulge in mankind's suffering.

Bronze would go to Eihort. Once again a creation of Ramsey Campbell, Eihort is a large, oblong creature resembling a spider that lives in a world spanning labyrinth. If it were to capture a human, it would give them the option of either accepting its brood or being killed. If they accept his brood, they are killed once Eihort's brood hatch from their bodies.

Ghroth is next. An Outer God much like Nyarlathotep, Ghroth is a floating entity that resembled a one-eyed planet that much like Nyarlathotep, is not imprisoned like the other gods. Ghroth would travel from planet to planet and sings a song known as The Music of the Spheres. The intended purpose behind this is to awaken any gods living on the planet up, culminating them in destroying all life on the planet having once done so with Planet Shaggai. 

Ithaqua is where many people received the inspiration for the Wendigo of Algonquin mythology and the Yeti. It stalks the woods in the Arctic where if it catches a human, preferably a female, it whisks them away to its frozen world of Borea. He then uses them to bear him children that eclipse him in power so they could one day defeat the Elder Gods.

Hastur is another addition to the Cthulhu Mythos. He goes by many names, the most prominent being the King in Yellow. Much like his eldritch brethren, Hastur's motivations are uncertain, but it can be best assumed that he wants to spread his influence on the Earth. He does so through his Yellow Sign. The half-brother of Cthulhu, many speculate he wishes to wage war with Cthulhu and his followers. He makes deals with humans known as the Unspeakable Oath where he transforms human beings into bloated, scaly abominations that he also possesses. 

Old Whateley is an insane worshiper of the Old Gods who willfully gives his own daughter up to Yog-Sothoth resulting in the birth of the twin brothers Wilbur and the titular Dunwich Horror. There is never an explanation given as to why Old Whateley wants to free the gods, but it can be implicated that it would be bad.

Wilbur Whateley first appears in Lovecraft's story The Dunwich Horror being a hybrid conceived from Yog-Sothoth. He was indoctrinated by his grandpa to use the Necronomicon to open the gates to allow Yog-Sothoth and the other gods to enter the physical realm. 

Keziah Mason is an old hag of a witch who serves the Dark Man/Nyarlathotep and sacrifices children to him. 

Least Evil. As I have said, many of the eldritch gods do not fall under our conventional terms of morality as many Great Old Ones can easily wipe out civilizations without giving much thought to it. We are ants to them. They are potentially destructive, but they are also not overtly malicious either.

Azathoth is the supreme being of the Mythos known as the Blind Idiot God. Azathoth isn't much of a character as he is utterly mindless. He goes by many names like the Daemon Sultan or the Nuclear Chaos. It is called the Blind Idiot God because he is unaware of everything that goes on outside his mind as everything is his dream. Once he awakens, he would be clueless that there was ever something else because all of existence would end.

Yog-Sothoth would be next. He is considered the Keeper of the Gate and the All-in-One who is space-time itself. The second powerful being after Azathoth, Yog-Sothoth tends to be depicted as not being as "evil" as his brethren often taking affable forms when dealing with humans. But he is indirectly responsible for the events of the Dunwich Horror when he mated with Old Whateley's daughter.

Yig, oftentimes the Father of the Serpents, loves snakes and considers them his children. As such, if a human were to kill a snake, Yig would send his children to either kill the human or transform them into a snake-like person as an act of retribution. 

Glaaki is a slug-like monster from space created by Ramsey Campbell in his contributions to the mythos. Glaaki dwells in a lake and can transform people into his servants through spikes on his back. 

The Dunwich Horror was the offspring between Yog-Sothoth and Old Whateley's daughter. Like any of the Lovecraftian horrors, the Dunwich Horror is mindlessly hostile and breaks out of the Whateley residence towards the end and devours two families whole. 

Shub-Niggurath, or the Black Goat of the Woods, is next. She is also an incomprehensible entity who constantly births abominations dubbed her "Dark Young" whom she also eats. She is often worshiped as a fertility goddess by cults. 

Lastly is Cthulhu himself. The octopus-headed, winged humanoid of indescribable form who is introduced in the novel "The Call of Cthulhu" by Lovecraft. The ruler of the city of R'lyeh, Cthulhu used to rule the world until being locked away and his city sunk. If he were to awaken once the stars have aligned, Cthulhu would emerge from his city to bring ruin to the world. Should the great Cthulhu ever be truly destroyed, a contingency plan is that he would be reborn through his daughter Cthylla.

I just had an epiphany: To any life out there amongst the stars, I’d imagine just as we might find them to be horrifying, the same could be said about how they’d perceive us.

Like for instance, on a planet where, say, the majority of creatures are amorphus or asymmetrical, they might see us humans who (generally) have two arms, two legs, two eyes etc. and are relatively symmetrical and find us to be some kind of Lovecraftian abomination. “What are these perfectly [not really] symmetrical beings??? To have such symmetry—it’s unthinkable!” Alternatively, there could be a water world planet somewhere where the sentient aquatic beings would see us breathing the air and drowning in the water and be like “HOW???” Or there could be beings that interact with you and when you attempt to explain your emotions to them, they fail to understand them; You feel things that cannot be felt or even comprehended by other beings.

The point is, whenever you feel low about yourself, just remember that somewhere in the universe, there are beings who fail to comprehend your very existence; effectively, you are an eldtritch horror of your own. Be the cosmic entity you want to see in your nightmares! Be your own sleep paralysis demon!

May i present this idea:

A shambler abomination.

Shambler vs shambler

(Ok but seriously, imagone if someone made a playable shambler mod and it was some guy who can turn into a eldtritch monster like abom.)

Add a couple of occultists and vestal might just watch an actual live-action hentai.

Let me introduce to you to the warforms! Now what these are forms that powerful eldtritch gods can have to hone their abomination forms. So far only Sanna, Harris (scarlet king), and Endellion (Judge). This is also the form that Harris took as the scarlet king, aka, this is also a redesign for the scarlet king design as well.

if got any question, drop them In my ask box.

I forgot about Cult of the Supreme Being! So, 2 Servant Versions of Robespierre. “Reign of Terror” Robespierre; Berserker. Everyone who disagrees with how I do things is a Tyrant in the making and they need to be wiped from the face of the Earth. “Cult of the Supreme Being” Robespierre; Foreigner.

owo? Foreigner you say? Then what eldtritch abomination would you assign him if you can think of any?

Unconventionally Eldritch; A Love Essay to Dark

Seeing as how today’s (one of) the birthday(s) of my fav eldritch horror eat your incomprehensible heart out Cthulu, I’d thought I’d just nerd out and be my overanalytical self about this character I -like alot of us in the community- just can’t get enough of; and share what I think is just so intriguing about him/them.

So to start, it seems from alot of posts on here that at least a good portion of the community is at least generally aware that Dark is an eldritch/Lovcraftian entity.  Yet it would seem (by the volume of posts at least) that the majority see him more as a generic “demon” or other malevolent non-eldritch spirit.  And while I do have to say that this trend is disheartening to me personally, it also paradoxically highlights what I find to be one of the most if not the most intriguing quality of Dark; he/they are an unconventional Eldritch Horror.

To most that are at least passingly familiar with cosmic horror will probably associate the term “eldritch abomination” with something like this mindfucking monstrosity;

It’s weird beyond all literal hell, its form makes no sense in any sense and its size is literally on a cosmic scale.  Now contrast to the D-Man;

Superficially, it’s kind of just a guy in a suit.  A very outwardly creepy guy in a suit, but a guy in a suit, nonetheless.  Yet as Mark has explicitly described him/them as a “weird interdimensional person that seems human but is obviously not” “doesn’t obey the laws of physics” and demonstrated these traits in his/their appearances Dark absolutely qualifies as an eldritch horror. And I’d argue that this characteristic of Dark only makes them/him even more of an unsettling mindfuck of a character than traditional Lovecraftian monstrosities.

Because even though the truly alien geometries of traditional eldritch horrors do inspire a feeling of a sense of smallness against the unfathomable forces of the cosmos, the irony is that because they’ve been featured in over a centuries worth of stories this traditional form has become a trope and therefore in an odd way familiar; the antithesis of cosmic horror’s goal to destabilize your sense of reality in a terrifying way.

Dark’s brilliance as a character then lies in being an entity whose eldritch nature not only fucks with our concept of natural law (time & space, life & death) but also fundamentally fucks with our notions of Lovecraftian horror itself.  Like his/their buddy Wilford, Dark is a character that refuses to follow the script and comply with genre conventions (he/they have a tendency to disrupt and/or take over videos where eldtritch abominations don’t traditionally belong).  And when the only sources of comfort/familiarity with a creature like Dark are the genre signposts of a disgusting and alien appearance; the human form and suave personality only makes the Lovecraftian dread worse.

And not only does it make Dark more existentially terrifying it also makes him/them all the more intriguing as a character.  Other eldritch abominations you sort of tend to mentally assign into “will never understand, won’t even attempt to try” file in your brain because that’s what their appearance tells you and what the genre reinforces.  But Dark?  This creature that exists outside our notions of reality but still has an identifiable backstory, human appearance and sinister charm?  To me that’s utterly fascinating.  You want to understand him/them, figure him/them out, all the while aware that you probably never will but you persist anyway.

To close this (probably too long and rambling) post up, I think some major megaton PREESHES are in order to @markiplier for realizing and bringing to life such a great and fundamentally creative character.  And I’m crossing every possible appendage and praying to every possible god we get to see more of him them/him in the near future (Oct 30th, WINK WONK).

Hope this post didn’t bore too many of you, and Preesh to you all!  😘

Lumin@Necky/Void: So... you had your true form... and you couldn't get the job done? Well... you better be glad that wasn't canon or else that'd be a bit embarrasing!

What the hell did you just say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Eldtritch Abominations, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on countless universes, and I have over thirty million confirmed kills. I am trained in Oranguruilla warfare and I’m the top Photon Geyser wielder in the entire multiverse. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before, mark my words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again! As we speak I am contacting my secret network of alternate selves across Ultra Space and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, worm. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my wings. Not only am I extensively trained in using light, but I have access to the entire arsenal of every pokemon and fakemon ever made and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of reality, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re dead, kiddo.

[jjbaconsumedmysoul]

heya! this isn’t a request, it’s a long-ish sort of hc (and by long i mean LONG) but i just thought you might like it as it’s sort of stupid and involves too many memes. SO, if you want to hear this, then let’s go! I don’t know very much about part 6 (i’m only up to part 5 with the GOOD GANG BOYS) but i do know that it takes place roughly around our current time - so here’s my idea: millenial!Jolyne AU. Probs been done before, but everything is the same except that instead of making (1/2)

sex jokes, Jolyne uses depressed millennial humour (e.g Pucci: I’ll kill you in the name of Dio! Jolyne, slurping a smoothie and wearing a hoodie, eyes dead: please do i crave the sweet release of death). BUT! On their journeys together, Jolyne and the Squad™ encounter a 14-year-old kid called Genzy (yes, I’m unimaginative right now, feel free to change their name if you want but i kind of like it). (2/? i know it said 2 but it’s probs gonna take longer than that sorry :/)

Genzy is an absolute eldtritch abomination of a meme-loving kid, and their Stand (which they got by shooting themselves in the foot with a Stand arrow - the story of that is long and involves a museum, a late-night snack raid, and creatures from the seventh dimension) has the ability to mimic any noise perfectly (i don’t know if this is already a Stand so sorry). of course Genzy uses this ability to mimic memes, which has the added bonus of inflicting severe confusion on their enemies (3/?)

(e.g Pucci: Jolyne, you- what the hell is that? Jolyne, holding a drink while Genzy bass-boosts HIT OR MISS in the background while t-posing: a smoothie) so yeah, that’s pretty much my millenial!Jolyne + Genzy AU! sorry this took so long but i hope you like it! (bonus: upon eventually meeting Jotaro and finding out he’s a marine biologist, genzy refuses to call him anything but ‘ocean man’) - genzy anon (can I call myself that? I think i will if that’s ok :D) (4/4)

ASDFGH I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT THIS IS BUT I FREAKIN LOVE IT XD!Honestly Jolyne and her squad is the meme dream team™ i love Genzy, they are my spirit animal. We gotta get Foo Fighters in on this action I bet she’d love this lil bastard! all of Green Dolphin St. Prison begins to fortnite dance and Pucci just gives up on achieving heaven cause there’s no point anymore he’s so damn confused nothing Dio said could have prepared him for whatever hell Jolyne and Genzy are unleashing upon the world
