Quick doodle that I really have been wanting to do ever since I saw that post. Glaaki will get him one day, maybe.

Plus a work in progress under the cut

I think Cthulhu mythos is more fun with less straight up "gods"

Cthulhu is a possible alien giant wizard from an earlier version of the universe or another one. , Or its a "big brother" type fake person by an entire race of bengs that made up a singular "leading figure" for humans and other cultists to more easily rally around. Honestly perhaps more impressive than a "god".

Chaugnar Faugn is a feeding appendage of something vaster that has possibly gotten too independent . A rogue "hand of god" that might eventually cause problems for the collective

Glaaki: A giant sluglike thing in a British lake that's spines turn people into undead slaves it then forces to inscribe information and create tomes including the The Revelations of Glaaki collection. Was the meteor it came in a crashed spaceship? Is it some malfunctioning piece of technology doing its job of recording and collecting information using humans as a replacement of the crew and lost other "machines"? Possible "Roadside Picnic" type of thing ?

Y'golonac is imprisoned somewhere and sometimes managed to possess people (which affects bodies) and form a composite entity of both minds. Seems has in past it or someone managed to spread fake extra volume of The Revelations of Glaaki that allows it to possess readers, and seems hosts maybe able to transform others like a vampire... . Might only be a "god of depravity" due to being insane from imprisonment and overwhelmed by physical sensation. Or they are the eldritch equivalent of a gross pervert on internet who is in it for shock value. Should be noted the host that started a cult was a small business owner. Would all hosts do the same or did some megalomania of the human host seep in?

Vulthoom: a charlatan ala Wizard of Oz with alien technology, and if Glaaki's tomes are to be believed is a child!

Hastur....well possibly but a lot of thing are named "Hastur" so you gotta be specific. And they and King and Yellow might not even be connected.

The Dweller in The Gulf: a slavetaking monster, link has a great take.

The Crawling Chaos: a 'messenger of gods": perhaps might just be a soul who's all shared bodies and incarnation across time and space are self aware of place of universe. It is many things and many creatures across time and space and some of those things can take over bodies, or make copies of self in other ways. Randolph Carter's tricks to the extreme?

Tsathoggua: claimed to be a god but uh... well seems to mostly be exchanging knowledge to sorcerers in exchange for not having to get up to get its own meals. Luckily Earth life is not its favorite, but hilariously you'll want to summon something tastier than you when going to meet them.

And the closest things to Western culture idea of gods...most uh seem imprisoned by bigger fish or even afraid of mortals...

Burnt out author Glaaki getting his followers to write all his projects for him under different pseudonyms as he just sits there at the bottom of the lake doing fuck all

Process GIF - Cthulhu Mythos Bookshelf I think of this as a “Metal” version of these books - loud and clearly dangerous. I don’t remember HPL ever giving a physical description of the Necronomicon or any of the other forbidden tomes but I suspect that none of them glowed in the dark.

 Available as a mug in my Zazzle store. Or on other schtuff in my Redbubble store.

Severn Valley, England 1924 Willhem has always been wary of the swamp behind the hills. Sighting of strange lights at night, unsolved disappearances and the general creepiness of the place kept on alert all senses of the locals. So when he noticed a black stain between the reeds, he cautiously bend over the edge to investigate, without setting as little as a toe in the dark water, ready to jump back at the slightest move. It was not enough. In the blink of an eye a tendril pierced his chest. stronger than steel and as black as the void between the stars. He tried to call for help but only manage to emit a faint gurgle as his own fluids filled quickly his lungs. Soon he couldn't breathe anymore and he felt his heart stop, his body shook and struggled a brief moment to finally lean on the black rod in a final convulsion. He died, but did not fade. His thoughts and his senses were still there, and his mind was struggling to understand why. - "Am I still alive ? Why I am still alive ? What is happening ?" - "You are dead. You are mine. You will serve me" He took a look around, but see no one. - "Who're you ? Are you in me head ? Whaddya want from me ?" - "I am Glaaki, Lord of the Lake. My seve runs now through you. Obey and be rewarded, Resist and be destroyed."     Pencil doodle on A6 sketchbook
