Editing Cthulhu Mythos (section)

==Deities of the Wider Mythos==
This section is about the deities which appear in HPL's contemporaries and successors, except those that Lovecraft have incorporated into his own works. Due to categorization, Cthulhu will not appear in this section.

* Y'golonac the Defiler: Created by Ramsey Campbell. Y'golonac is a Great Old One and one of the sickest bastards in the entire Mythos. [[Slaanesh|God of perversion]], depravity, and everything in between, with a particular fondness for rape. And eating kids. And... look, if you can think of it, Y'golonac did it first, refined it, did it again, and figured out how to make it even worse. He appears as a headless, grotesquely obese guy with mouths in the palms of his hands, and even reading his name summons him and results in WAIT NO OH GOD HE’S HERE- Anyway, the Defiler is considered so disgusting that even the deranged cultists of other Mythos entities tread very lightly around him and show more care about not summoning him than the last poor bastard.
** May or may not have an alternate feminine form, Y'girlonac, who has vaginas in her hands instead of mouths, and is more tsundere than rapey, and a possible classmate and/or romantic rival of [[Approved_anime#Comedy|Nyaruko-chan]].  
* Ithaqua, the Wind Walker: Created by August Derleth. Ithaqua is a Great Old One in the form of an ice giant from another planet which abducts people and takes them back to his home planet. Source of the cannibalistic wendigos. Has fathered many children on unwilling human women.
* Cthugha, the Burning One: Created by August Derleth. Cthugha is a Great Old One who takes the form of a giant, sentient ball of flame. He is a fire deity and he probably spawned the Fire Vampires. In the short story "The Dweller in Darkness", Cthugha is summoned by the protagonists to act as a bigger fish to an avatar of Nyarlathotep dwelling in the woods of Wisconsin.
* Cthylla, the Secret One: First named by Brian Lumley and first described by Tina L. Jens. Cthylla is daddy Cthulhu's little girl, his youngest progeny and every bit as nasty. Jens' short story is about a bunch of dumbfuck researchers who capture her thinking she is a rare specimen of some undiscovered octopus species and ''attempt to artificially impregnate her'', which goes about as well as you might expect. She escapes and they realize what exactly she is and try to destroy her with an atomic bomb, which results in Cthulhu himself going utterly apeshit and rampaging around taking names until he is put away again.
* Gla'aki: Created by Ramsey Campbell. Gla'aki is a Great Old One who came to Earth in a crystal meteor many years ago, that crashed in a lake in the Severn Valley in England. However he has also been spotted in other lakes across the world. He takes the appearance of a giant monstrous slug with three eyes and a body covered in razor-sharp metallic spines. Anyone who gets injected with the spine undergoes a painful transformation into a zombie puppet that will do anything their grotesque new master commands but be harmed by exposure to sunlight.
* [[Tsathoggua]]: Created by Clark Ashton Smith. One of the nicer Old Ones, which really isn't saying much. Takes the form of a monstrous, pot-bellied toad and thrives on human war and instability. He tends to be asleep, waking only to eat whatever sacrifices his cult brings him.
* Eihort: Created by Ramsey Campbell. Eihort inhabits a gigantic maze, and if you somehow get inside it, Heaven help you- actually, no, Heaven can't help you. Eihort will find you, he will capture you, and offer you one of two choices: let him rape you and lay eggs inside your body which will hatch and devour you, or he'll smash you against the wall and call it a day.
* Yidhra, the Witch Queen: Created by Walter C. Debill, Jr. Yidhra is an Outer God who is basically a female Nyarlathotep. She goes about in her avatars absorbing other creatures, human or animal, and engaging in all manner of debauchery. She's functionally immortal and has a policy of seducing men, fucking them, eating them, giving birth to their deformed brats, then absorbing those same brats. Oddly popular despite being fairly minor in the grand scheme of things, even in this Mythos.
