Been a while now hasn't it? Stuff has been happening these last few weeks.
But here is a new comp, this time about other deities from H.P. Lovecraft's mythos other than the iconic Cthulhu, which a lot of you have requested.
Keep in mind though, things aren't allways clear when dealing with this, some things are debatable. I would also like to point out that I haven't gotten to read any of Lovecraft's work myself (yet).

Important classifications to know.
Great Old Ones: Ancient deities that once ruled the earth, but has since fallen into a death-like sleep.
Outer Gods: Cosmic entities, influencing Earth from beyond space and maybe even time.

Yog-Sothoth

The All-in-One, The One-in-All, The Beyond One, The Key and the Gate.

An Outer God that exists within all time and space at once, but is locked outside ours. Yog-Sothoth knows all and sees all, no secret is hidden from him, and pleasing him can lead to great knowledge, though like with most other deities of the mythos, this "knowledge" can easily lead to madness. His form is described as basically a lot of glowing spheres, though may also include eyes and tendrils.

From time to time Yog-Sothoth has been called upon to assist mortals in performing occult deeds or rituals, and in one case was called upon to impregnate a woman. She gave birth to 2 sons; one humanoid, and a more monstrous one.
He is also the grandfather of Cthulhu.

Ghatanothoa


The first born of Cthulhu. Ghatanothoa is a large amorphous, and exceptionally hideous Old One. He is comparable to Medusa, but instead of turning to stone when looking at him (or just a perfect replica), you turn into a living mummy. Your body is like that of a mummy, but you remain consious, trapped inside your own leathery, immobilized corpse. Only by destroying your brain can you be set free, but before anyone can give you this sweet release, you will likely have been mad for quite a while.


Ghatanothoa came to earth from Yuggoth (Pluto in Lovecraft's fiction), brought by an ancient alien race that built a colossal fortress atop Mount Yaddith-Gho, where they trapped Ghatanothoa inside the mountain under a giant trapdoor where he remains.

Nyarlathotep

The Crawling Chaos, God of a Thousand Forms, Stalker among the Stars.


An Outer God that unlike the others are not banished, asleep, trapped or anything like that, but walks the earth in the form of a human, though also has other horrific forms. Nyarlathotep also differs in that he delights in things like cruelty, deception and manupilation, while other deities are considered "mindless" with no concept of moral, rather than being truly evil.


He is the messanger, heart and soul of the Outer Gods, enacting their will. He often tends to the others' cults while they are away, and gather more followers. It is believed that Nyarlathotep will one day destroy the human race and maybe the earth as well.

Yig

Father of Serpents


A Great Old One described as a giant snake, a snake with bat wings, or a snake-human hybrid. Yig is believed to be the prototype to pretty much all snake gods in earthly mythologies, such as Quetzalcoatl to mention one.


He is the father of serpents, and will send his serpent minions, the children of Yig, to punish people who have killed snakes in the past. This is done through either murder, or transforming the person into a snake-like creatures like himself and his children. But allthough Yig is easy to anger, he is easy to please as well.

Azathoth

The Daemon Sultan, The Nuclear Chaos, The Blind Idiot God


The lord of the Outer Gods and all existance, maybe even the creator of it. Azathoth resides at the "center of ultimate chaos" where he holds court with the other Outer Gods, with alien servants that bathe him with the sound of demonic flutes. Azathoth's appearance have never been truly described, only hinted at.


Though called "the blind idiot god", oblivious to the universe and the beings within it, he has a will of his own, which Nyarlathotep acts out for him, his son, messanger and avatar.

And that was a few of the many other entities from H.P. Lovecraft's maddening universe.


Hope you enjoyed. Got any requests for future comps? Feel free to share them. Don't forget to check out my other comps if you haven't, including Comp of Monsters, Comp of the Dead and my one and only Comp of the Gods.

Also, fun fact. Reality is literally Azathoth's dream, and he is surrounded by billions of lesser creatures which sing to him with wicked instruments. Should one of them miss a note or something, Azathoth wakes up and reality ends.

So.... I don't need to pay back my student loans?

Sure, as long as you can wake up an Outer God from his eternal slumber.

The first on reminds me of hermaeus mora
User avatar #11 to #9 - lordsepulchure [OP](08/28/2015) [-]
His...style is based on Loevecraft.

That's what I figured.
User avatar #14 to #13 - lordsepulchure [OP](08/28/2015) [-]
Well now we know what spesifically he is based off of. He sounds very similar to Yog-Sothoth.
User avatar #68 to #14 - mereglim (08/29/2015) [-]
He's actually much closer to a Shoggoth, a large, faintly luminous mass of eyes and slime. The eyes also appear and disappear at random, just like Mora in the Dragonborn DLC.
#27 - loyallykupo (08/28/2015) [-]
Awesome comp but could could have used some ************** .

Can anyone reccomend me some Lovecraftian movies?
User avatar #51 to #20 - gotthembarrels (08/29/2015) [-]
To answer your question though, there are a few good ones.
Reanimator (1985)
In the mouth of Madness (1994)
Event Horizon (kinda, 1997)
The Mist (2007)
and Cabin in the Woods (2012)
and you could even argue that another John Carpenter film The Thing (1982), is Lovecraftian so there is that as well.

Hope this helps.
User avatar #78 to #51 - angelious (08/29/2015) [-]
>>#20, there are literally **** ton of movies that are directly or indirectly inspired by lovecraft.


alien(original movie)

lovecraft just about created modern horror as we know it.
User avatar #79 to #78 - gotthembarrels (08/29/2015) [-]
Plenty of films inspired by Lovecraft? Yes.
Adaptations? No.
User avatar #80 to #79 - angelious (08/29/2015) [-]
most of those are lovecraftian movies...

but as for movies that are lovecraftian...i think you are better off just reading the books..or if not those. then go for the visual novels..the movies arent so good.
User avatar #59 to #20 - Greevon (08/29/2015) [-]
You should watch The Last Lovecraft and John Dies at the End.

Both are fun, comedic horror movies. Last Lovecraft is overtly lovecraft related, John Dies at the End makes a bunch of huge references and is overall reminiscent of Lovecraft's work.
User avatar #47 to #20 - captainfuckitall ONLINE (08/29/2015) [-]
Unfortunately, most Lovecraft themed movies fall far short of what counts for the lore or fright.

However, there are some pretty good games in the mythos. Likewise, there are plenty of great movies that take heavy references from Lovecraft.
User avatar #49 to #47 - gotthembarrels (08/29/2015) [-]
This.
It is odd, but Lovecraft's work seems cursed, that any adaptations, regardless of the medium, seems to either wind up in production hell, or is cancelled. Any that DO wind up being finished are either sleeper hits (Call of Cthulhu (game), Reanimator (film, acutally like this movie btw) or are pure ***** .
One exception is Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem for the gamecube, and even that is somewhat an obscure game.
User avatar #58 to #49 - Greevon (08/29/2015) [-]
I still have hopes for the Mountains of Madness film adaption. It's in production hell, but we continue to get updates that it will move forward. So, it's not lost yet.
User avatar #85 to #49 - angelious (08/29/2015) [-]
the fact is. lovecrafts writings were so bizzare and undrawable that proper translation to a movie form is near impossible for his most famous works.


also, i feel the need to note that while call of cthulhu is a good game, it pretty much strayed too far from lovecraftian roots by the end of it...
User avatar #72 to #47 - juter (08/29/2015) [-]
obligatory mention of Old Man Henderson

User avatar #8 - emperorwatergate (08/28/2015) [-]
Fun Fact: The Great Intelligence from Doctor Who is actually Yog-Sothoth.

I also have a theory that the Midnight Entity was actually Nyarlathotep.
#118 - partysloth (08/29/2015) [-]
Futurama's God is Yog-Sothoth
User avatar #91 - Sethorein (08/29/2015) [-]
To clarify: the children of yog sothoth are wilbur whately and his brother in the story "the dunwich horror"
