	In 3rd edition, Dagon is stated to be a [[Demon Prince]] of the [[Obyrith]] type, which means he sits at that intersection between "[[fiend]]" and "Lovecraftian monster". An ally of [[Demogorgon]], he rules over the underwater realm of ''Shadowsea'', the 89th layer of the Abyss, which is the underwater portion of the oceanic parts of the 88th layer, Gaping Maw - aka Demogorgon's backyard. Though worshipped as a god by many malign aquatic creatures and races, including [[Kuo-toa]], Dagon is an enigmatic, isolationist deity, who spends most of his time drifting in a near-slumber through this oceanic realm. The aforementioned Demonomicon article provides mechanics for [[cleric]]s of Dagon, as well as the Thrall of Dagon prestige class.

	The first thing to know about Dagon is that he basically has a boner for the ocean and all things aquatic. As an obyrith, Dagon is ''ancient,'' predating even the current multiverse. As such he has watched life evolve and crawl out of the ocean time and time again across countless ~~world~~, and each time he considers it a personal insult. Surprisingly for a demon (especially an obyrith), he actually has a bit of an amiable side, although you need gills or fins to see even a hint of it. It is not unusual for him to act as a protector of the sea, and has even helped stop threats that would've destroyed the ''whole world'', since this obviously includes the sea.

	'''Dagon''' is an ancient real-life deity originally associated with the sea (due to the Hebrews associating his name with their word for fish), but now believed to have been a god of agriculture and fertility. He achieved /tg/-related noteriety when [[H.P. Lovecraft]] was inspired by him; one of his first ever published short stories, called "Dagon", presented the deity as a monstrous piscine humanoid who foretold the inevitable destruction of the surface world and the claiming of the surface by the sea. From these roots, Dagon would go on to become a [[giant]]-sized demigod ruler of the [[Deep One]]s, a lesser Great Old One in the [[Yog-Sothothery\|Cthulu Mythos]], from which all of his /tg-related media has arisen.

	Whilst most associated with the [[Call of Cthulhu]] games and its offshoots, such as [[Delta Green]] and [[Cthulhutech]], Lovecraft's Dagon also went on to inspire [[Gary Gygax]], who incorporated him into [[Dungeons & Dragons]] canon as a [[Demon Prince]]. In this role, he since migrated on to [[Pathfinder]] as well.
