The Lovecraftian Gods is the term used when speaking of Great Old Ones, Outer Gods and Elder Gods and other such beings. They are also Eldritch Beings, so alien and strange to the minds of Humans (and most other beings) that they are seen as evil and malevolent, even if that is not their intent.
Humans, in their never-ending desire for knowledge, often try to please these Entities through sacrifice and dark rituals in the hopes of releasing them from their prison. Most humans who attempt these practices, worship either Cthulhu or Azathoth, but any God can be worshiped by the cultists. The Cultists often know Dark Magic, and other Forbidden Arts (such as summoning Eldritch Servants), but will often end up giving their life for their God or taking it due to insanity caused from the dark secrets told to them.
The pronunciation of Lovecraftian names that humans use (e.g: Cthulhu is pronounced: Ku-thoo-loo) is merely the closest any non-Lovecraftian being can get to the true pronunciation of their names. Should they hear the true pronunciation, it would cause immense pain as their mind tries to comprehend the Lovecraftian Language. This applies not only to names, but any word in their language.
These beings cannot be played in RP by anyone other then an Administrator. There is no way to obtain permission to be a Lovecraftian Horror. Lovecraftian Horrors must also have a seperate account, created by the Administrator.
List of Lovecraftian Gods[]
This is a partial list of the most well-known of Lovecraftian Gods.
Yog Sothoth -Outer God-[]
A being of immense power and knowledge and is also a living multiverse. Yog-Sothoth is known for it's ability to, if pleased, give a being knowledge of the Eldritch, be it Magic, the Supernatural, or information about Yog Sothoth itself. Yog Sothoth is Omniscient, knowing and seeing everything occurring in every realm and dimension, even from within the Void. It's form is almost indescribable, being an ever-shifting mass of eyes and mouths with no true form or structure.
Cthulhu -Great Old One-[]
A massive, horrifying combination of what appears to be a human, octopus and dragon, trapped within the ancient city of R'lyeh, forever in a slumber, along with many Eldritch Servants, who sometimes wake up to attack the mortal world. Cthulhu also is, despite the fact he is sleeping, able to influence mortals via dreams and hallucinations.
Azathoth -Outer God-[]
Azathoth is god-like being Omnipotent and Omnipresent. It can take a human or other being as it's vessel, giving the being an immense amount of power, allowing them to defeat Zodiac Lords or resist Ash's ability to erase things from existence. This being is the single most powerful in the universe, bar none. He created reality without His own knowledge, along with the many beings within that reality such as the Old Ones, Great Ones, and other God-like beings, which went on to create other beings. Azathoth is credited with the creation of all the Evil and Chaos within this reality.
An unknown equal to Azathoth is responsible for the creation of the good within this reality, such as the Zodiacs. The Manifestations, which are neither evil nor good, are thought to have been created by the combined powers of Azathoth and this unknown.

Nyarlathotep -Outer God-[]
Nyarlathotep differs from the other beings in a number of ways. Most of them are exiled to stars or to the Void, like Yog-Sothoth and Hastur, or sleeping and dreaming like Cthulhu; Nyarlathotep, however, is active and frequently walks the Earth in the guise of a human being. While most of the Lovecraftian Gods are suited all powerful yet purposeless, Nyarlathotep seems to be deliberately deceptive and manipulative, and even uses propaganda to achieve his goals. Nyarlathotep enacts the will of the Outer Gods, and is their messenger, heart and soul; he is also a servant of Azathoth, whose wishes he immediately fulfills. Unlike the other Outer Gods, causing madness is more important and enjoyable than death and destruction to Nyarlathotep. In this sense, he strongly resembles the traditional role of the devil.

Ngyr-Khorath[]
A misty, incorporeal being with an "eye of flame" at its centre.
Shub-Niggurath[]
(The Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young, Wife of the Not-to-Be-Named One ) Appears as a horrifying, black, cloudy mass, with many eyes, mouths and tendrils. She (presumed to be a she) can, and does, give birth to thousands of young, which are either consumed again by the beast or manage to run away to the woods to serve their mother.
Young of Shub-Niggurath[]
The Young of Shub-Niggurath are monstrous beings, between 12-25 feet in height and 3-10 feet in diameter. They have trunk-like, short legs and tops made of ropey tendrils that strongly resemble branches with think vines, and puckered mouths that can open wide enough to swallow human beings in an instant.

(The Flautist of Azathoth) Composed of living sound. This being appears as a mass of shimmering air that constantly emits sound ranging from 60 Db to 150 Db.
Tulzscha[]

Ubbo-Sathla[]
(The Unbegotten Source, The Demiurge)
Ycnagnnisssz[]
Unknown. The form of this being is said to be so horrific and eldritch that any being who sees it will be driven to insanity. So far, that has proven true, with many beings, including primordials and angels falling into insanity by seeing or fighting this being. As such, only 1 of it's form has been determined to be larger then most galaxies. Before being imprisoned within the Void, this bring was rumored to have consumed galaxies for no reason other then to cause death and destruction.
Yidhra[]
(The Dream Witch) Like Nyarlathotep, her form varies, but usually appears as an earthly female; May be form of Shub-Niggurath.

Lesser Gods[]
These beings are not quite Gods, but instead immensely powerful lifeforms, who have been praised as deities or gods.
Elder Things[]
Elder Things are sapient, radially symmetrical, and nearly invincible. They are incredibly strange creatures, sharing characteristics of animals and vegetables alike. They are able to enter a peculiar state of preservation that allows them to survive extreme temperature fluctuations, vacuum, and without any need to eat or breathe. They have five sides of their body, being shaped like a tall, narrow hexagon, along with five eyes, five tendrils, five mouths, etc.
Elder Things are found upon Earth, within the deepest Oceanic trenches. They will go towards the surface, only to continue their constant and eternal fight with their creation: The Shoggoths.
Spawn[]
Spawn are beings of horror, Eldritch and horrifying. They are literally born from nothing but the sheer will of a Lovecraftian God. While the term "Star Spawn" is normally used to define the Spawn of Cthulhu, the term can also be used for all things that serve Lovecraftian Gods, be it a Shoggoth or some other, unknown, Spawn.
Star Spawn[]
Resembling miniature versions of their lord, Star Spawn are the most common and well known of the Spawn. They reside either in the oceans (mostly the Antarctic or Indian), and they posses immense regenerative powers, able to regrow lost limbs in seconds.
Shoggoths[]
Created by the Elder Things, for use as beasts of burden or hunters, these beings have many forms, but most are blob like, with many eyes and tendrils, waiting for a being to venture too close to strike. Shoggoths are very hard to slay, requiring magic of some form most times.
Half-Lovecraftian[]
Many (if not all) Lovecraftian Entities can shift into a human form, and wqill sometimes mate with human beings. The spawn of these unholy unions are known by most as "Half-Lovecraftian", as their true name is in Lovecraftian, making it impossible for most non-lovecraftian beings to know the true name.
Half -Lovecraftians include: Deep-one/humans (The Innsmouth People), and Wilbur Whateley (deceased son of Yog-Sothoth). Half-Lovecrafitans have immense mental power, and in some cases, physical power, and many are zealots to the cause of their Lovecraftian parents (or the cause of the being that parent served).
Horrors[]
Horrors are beings of amazing and awful power, beings that explore the cosmos, looking for or giving the truth to younger and less intelligent species (e.g. Humans), or simply to slaughter the poor beings and consume their home planet, using the dead husk for purposes unknown.
The term "horror" is used to explain any non-spawn, non-godly being that is still considered Eldritch, such as the Elaagoth. The term "Plague of Horror" is used to describe any gathering of these beings, be it an army or a mating season group.
