* PrehensileHair: The power it gives to Kurou and Demonbane: the ability to make a giant magical web out of their hair to trap and ensnare enemies.

!!Dagon and Hydra
An Elder God summoned during "The Shadow over Innsmouth" as a "test" for the C Project. Because Dagon was summoned before "the stars were right", it is forced to absorb the life force of its worshippers, the Deep Ones, and is extremely angry afterward. It soon summons its mate, Hydra, to help it against Demonbane.
----
* CombinationAttack: Several times during the battle, Dagon and Hydra combine themselves into a single creature. It's described as part of their "mating" process.
* {{Kaiju}}: Dagon is the first giant non-robot fought in the game, and the first encounter with a true Elder God that Kurou has.
* SoLastSeason: [[spoiler:Thousands of Dagon and Hydra appear at Cthulhu's behest to do battle against the combined human military. By this point, Demonbane has powered up so much it can take them down by the dozens without even trying.]]

!!Cthugha
The Great Old One of flame and fire, Cthugha is among the deities Al Azif can summon. However, due to Kurou's inexperience, it takes quite some time to get Cthugha under control.
----
* DefeatMeansFriendship: After Kurou... ''subdues'' Cthugha, it takes a liking to him and brands him with its mark, allowing Kurou to summon it even without Al's help.
* EmpathicWeapon: Kurou eventually transforms the Cthugha summoning spell so that Cthugha arrives in the form of an automatic pistol, which makes its power much easier to control. Demonbane can summon a suitably scaled-up version as well.
* KillItWithFire: Pretty much what Cthugha does whenever it gets summoned. Anything within several miles of it melts or vaporizes almost instantly.
!!Ithaqua
The Great Old One of ice and snow, Ithaqua is another deity that Al Azif can summon. Again, due to Kurou's relative inexperience, it takes a while for him to reliably control it.

* KillItWithIce: Ithaqua's presence means that anything nearby is instantly frozen.
!!Cthulhu
The "Great C" himself, Cthulhu is the Great Old One destined to awaken "when the stars are right" and reign over Earth once more. Black Lodge plans to intervene with the summoning and use Cthulhu's powers for themselves.
----
* EldritchAbomination: Stands out even among the other Great Old Ones; his mere ''appearance'' causes everyone's mind and will to grind to a halt.
* LivingMacGuffin: Due to Black Lodge's manipulations, Cthulhu spends most of his time either half-asleep or under their control.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: Because he is summoned into Black Lodge's Illusory Heart Mother, Cthulhu appears as a gigantic flying ball of metal with flesh and tentacles emerging every which way, rather than the squid-headed humanoid he's usually depicted as.

* EldritchAbomination: Moreso than any other in the story, Yog-Sothoth briefly overwrites reality and nearly annihilates everyone's sanity when he appears, before he shifts forms into something less incomprehensible.
* NobleDemon: The one Elder God that isn't hostile to the heroes, and indeed is even somewhat helpful.

Al Azif has been passed from sorceror to sorceror over the centuries as she constantly does battle against Evil. She latches onto Kurou as her latest master, and despite his inexperience as a sorceror, she soon takes a liking to him, moreso than any master she's had previously...

Tiberius is sadist, rapist, murderer, and all-around completely abhorrent person.

He wields the power of ''De Vermis Mysteris'', and his Deus Machina is Beelzebuth.

An Anticross sorceror modelling himself after the samurai. His greatest wish is to find a powerful opponent that can give him the battle of a lifetime, and is inhumanly skilled with his dual katana. He wields the grimoire ''Cultes de Goules'', and his Deus Machina is Ogre.

Added DiffLines:
An Anticross sorceror, and one of the most senior members. Vespasianus prefers to manipulate things from the background and have underlings carry out tasks for him, though he isn't afraid of doing the dirty work himself if it's necessary. He previously headed the "Moonchild Project". His grimoire is ''The Book of Eibon'' and his Deus Machina is Cykranosh.

Added DiffLines:
An Anticross sorceror, Caligula is a huge man possessed of immense strength. He speaks very strangely, altering the emphasis of his words in odd places. He typically deals with sheer brute force, which he is certainly not lacking. Usually teamed up with Claudius. His grimoire is ''Cthaat Aquadingen'', and his Deus Machina is Kraken.
----

Added DiffLines:
An Anticross sorceror, he is apparently the youngest of the group. He is violent and impulsive, and wields the power of Hastur. Often teamed up with Caligula. His grimoire is the ''Celeano Fragments'', and his Deus Machina is Lord Byakhee.

Added DiffLines:
An Anticross sorceror, and the ''de facto'' leader of the group. He mostly serves as Master Therion's lieutenant, delegating orders to the rest of the Anticross. Despite this, he is a formidable sorceror himself. His grimoire is ''The Golden Bough'', and his Deus Machina is Legacy of Gold.

Added DiffLines:
Formerly an Anticross sorceress. Nero has the appearance of a young girl, but such was her personality that she was known primarily as "The Tyrant". Her power far exceeds that of the rest of the Anticross, and she is considered comparable in ability to Master Therion himself. After she rebelled against Black Lodge's designs, they locked her away with great difficulty, as she still has a large role to play in their plans. Her grimoire is ''Unaussprechlichen Kulten'', and her Deus Machina is the Nameless One.

Added DiffLines:
One of the results of Vespasianus' Moonchild Project, Sandalphon has the appearance of a black angel. His one and only goal is to fight to the death with Metatron, Arkham City's "Angel of Justice", whom he harbors a deep hatred for.
----

Added DiffLines:
A mysterious woman who appears before Kurou and Master Therion, and seems to be manipulating everything from the shadows. Her goals are unclear, but she is clearly more than she seems and is not someone to be trifled with.
