** Azathoth, the Blind Idiot God. A gigantic [[Eldritch Abomination]], that once was a demiurge, but nowadays just dwells somewhere in deep space listening to music.

** Innsmouth, the titular place from ''Shadow Over Innsmouth''. Even though the name is English in origin, the "th" at the end hints that something is [[Incredibly Lame Pun|fishy]] about this place...

** Kadath, from ''The Dream Quest Of Unknown Kadath''. It's the last dwelling of the gods, inaccessible to mere mortals.

** Shoggoth, a type of creatures looking like a giant formless puddle of black goo with a lot of eyes.

** Shub-Niggurath, the Black Goat with a Thousand Young. One of the most well-known Great Old Ones.
