Line 13:
* [[Junkie Prophet]]: Considering the Mythos, Abdul does drugs to ''forget'' the horrors he has seen.
* [[Mad Oracle]]
* [[Shout -Out]]: After Cthulhu and the Necronomicon, "The Mad Arab" is one of the most referenced elements in non-Mythos works.
* [[Sincerest Form of Flattery]]: Many of Lovecraft's friends created their own unspeakable tomes in homage to Lovecraft's Necronomicon. Like Abdul, the fictional writers of these books meet dark ends.
* [[Tome of Eldritch Lore]]: Wrote the modern archetype of all other eldritch grimoires.
Line 22:
* [[Damaged Soul]]: The many failed results of [[Came Back Wrong|bringing back the dead]].
* [[Dragged Off to Hell]]: {{spoiler|West's ultimate fate, as the reanimated bodies come back and tear him limb to limb.}}
* [[First -Person Peripheral Narrator]]: West's unnamed assistant, originally a medical student who became fascinated with West.
* [[Mad Doctor]]: A graduate of the ''Miskatonic University Medical School'' no less.
* [[Mad Scientist]]: Noble in intent, West's methods become increasingly unethical and deadly. It eventually drives him over the edge.
Line 58:
* [[Obliviously Evil]]: Comes of being utterly mindless.
* [[Ominous Floating Castle]]: Replace "Castle" with "Throne", and instead of floating in air, it floats in the center of the universe.
* [[Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies]]: Occurs in the ''[[Arkham Horror]]'' board game when Azathoth is summoned.
* [[Truly Single Parent]]: Reproduced by fission, producing offspring who were hermaphroditic. These "androgynes" also count as this, as they oddly [[Bizarre Alien Reproduction|did not need any aid for reproduction]].
* [[The Tunguska Event]]: One of its children, a ''Spawn of Azathoth'' is responsible for this.
Line 149:
* [[God Is Evil]]: About as far up in the pantheon as Azathoth and just as (if not more) terrifying.
* [[A Form You Are Comfortable With]]: Tawil At-'Umr.
* [[Hot Skitty -On -Wailord Action]]: Oh, those Whateleys!
* [[Light Is Not Good]]: Yog's avatar ''Aforgomon'', who appears with a blinding flash, and only shows up when angered.
* [[Omniscient Morality License]]: [[Alternative Character Interpretation|Perhaps.]] [[Blue and Orange Morality|Or perhaps not.]]
* [[Ret -Gone]]: Aforgomon does this to particular offenders {{spoiler|such as those who screw up space and time by using Xexanoth's power.}} Instead of wiping them outright, the avatar speeds up the normal process of oblivion. Instead of years, people slowly forget the victim and any record eventually fades away in weeks.
* [[Sphere of Destruction]]: Literally in this case. Physical contact with Yog-Sothoth leads to serious injuries.
* [[The Man Behind the Man]]: To Cthulhu, who is his high priest.
Line 212:
* [[Heads I Win, Tails You Lose]]: You're pretty much screwed once Eihort catches you.
* [[Face Full of Alien Wingwong]]
* [[Freak -Out]]: When the time comes for Eihort's brood to emerge, the bargainer begins to feel some weird ''sensations''.
* [[The Maze]]: Where Eihort dwells.
 
Line 240:
* [[Iconic Logo]]: The Yellow Sign.
* [[Humanoid Abomination]]: The King in Yellow.
* [[Light Is Not Good]]: In addition to his yellow robes, Hastur sometimes appears with a halo. He is also usually depicted with [[Good Wings, Evil Wings|angelic]] [[Winged Humanoid|wings]] for no discernible reason.
* [[Malevolent Masked Men]]: {{spoiler|Subversion. It's ''not'' a mask.}}
* [[Mad Artist]] / [[Mad Dreamer]]: Has influence over these.
Line 360:
* [[Egomaniac Hunter]]: He hunts the servants of Nyarlathotep and other horrors. But not because Nodens cares for humanity, but because the Great Old Ones provide the best sport.
* [[Humanoid Abomination]]
* [[Shout -Out]]: To ''[[The Great God Pan (Literature)|The Great God Pan]]'', where the name Nodens is briefly mentioned.
