Azathoth, also known as the Daemon Sultan, the Nuclear Chaos, and many other titles, is the big cheese of H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos. The first and most terrifying of the Outer Gods, powerful to the point that even the other Outer Gods would prefer he stayed asleep. Why is that you might ask? Because if he woke up, all of existence would well, cease to exist because all of reality is in fact his dream. Really. He makes the Chaos Gods look like spoiled toddlers in comparison.

He's also the origin of all the Outer Gods, having created the original first generation of them by splitting off parts of himself into new beings. As a result he's Cthulhu's great grandfather, for example.
