Line 53:
* [[Having a Gay Old Time]]: A more serious example, in which Lovecraft described Azathoth as ''The Nuclear Chaos''. At the time, "nuclear" referred to something in the center, as in nucleus. As time went on, "Nuclear" became associated with atomic energy and weapons. Latter writers took advantage of this, and made Azathoth the patron of radiation.
* [[King of All Cosmos]]: One of the weirdest supreme beings out there.
* [[Mad God]]: The Mad Sultan.
* [[Magical Flutist]]: The Servitors of the Outer Gods, who play flutes and drums to Azathoth. Needless to say, the music likely isn't pleasant to human ears.
* [[Primordial Chaos]]: Lovecraft called it "Ultimate Chaos". Later authors made Azathoth an inversion: It wasn't always ultimate chaos. It became that way after losing its mind.
Line 73:
== ''Ghroth'', AKA ''The Harbinger'' ==
A red-brown planet sized Outer God that travels space. When he approaches a world, it awakens the local Great Old Ones which leads to a planet's demise.
* [[Bad Moon Rising]]: So bad it ends worlds.
* [[Eyes Do Not Belong There]]: Has a single, gigantic eye. No planet should have a ''literal'' eye.
* [[Hidden in Plain Sight]]: How does anyone not freak out when a world-sized Old One approaches a world? Ghroth simply keeps its eye closed.
