Tsathoggua

Tsathoggua, also known as The Sleeper of N’Kai or Zhothaqquah, is a Great Old One who features in the H.P. Lovecraft-inspired Cthulhu Mythos.

Description
Bearing a vague resemblance to a vast black toad covered in short fur, Tsathoggua’s true form is incomprehensible to the mortal eye, but contains elements of both the bat and sloth. He is capable of changing his form, however, as he was once seen to transform into an elongated centipede-like creature with hundreds of long legs.

Tsathoggua is said to be a lazy creature, and would rather wait for a sacrifice than seek out a victim, even when half-crazed with hunger.

History
Spawned in the binary star system of Xoth uncounted millennia ago, Tsathoggua and several other Great Old Ones fled this place in order to escape the depredations of the hungry Outer God Cxaxukluth, and settled for a while on Yaksh (modern-day Neptune). There he met and mated with another Great Old One, Shathak, and their union produced a single offspring, the creature known as Zvilpogghua.

However, Tsathoggua grew tired of this world, and moved on, briefly staying on Cykranosh (Saturn) with Atlach-Nacha before finally settling in the great cavern of Yoth on Earth, where he resides to this day, worshiped by the deadly Serpent Men, as well as the Formless Spawn and the Voormis.
