Shothragot is one of them, awakened by Tharizdun's whispers beneath one of the temples of Elder Elemental Eye, its origins unknown. Shothragot was weak and powerless, subsiding on prayers to its new master to regain former power, forming enough bond with the Ender to become his avatar. Now it seeks to free itself to find Tharizdun's prison and release him, so they can bond together as one being and destroy all that is.

Shothragot is one of them, awakened by Tharizdun's whispers beneath one of the temples of Elder Elemental Eye, its origins unknown. Shothragot was weak and powerless, subsiding on prayers to its new master to regain former power, forming a strong enough bond with the Ender to become his avatar.

Unlike the other core Evils, Shothragot is described in ''Dragon'' Magazine #362.



* TheCorruption: Just being in presence of Shothragot causes one to risk going mad, even the gods aren't protected from this power - in fact, they're ''more'' vurnerable to it than mortals, who at least get a saving throw.

* TheDragon: to Tharizdun.
* ElementalPowers: Shothragot's spell selection list includes variety of powerful elemental spells like Cone of Cold, Earthquake or Whirlwind, befitting avatar of Elder Elemental Eye.
* FightingAShadow: Shothragot is effectively this to Tharizdun
* OminousObsidianOoze: Shothragot's form is a giant floating ball of this.

* ElementalPowers: Shothragot's spell selection list includes variety of powerful elemental spells like Cone of Cold, Earthquake or and Whirlwind, befitting avatar of Elder Elemental Eye.
* FightingAShadow: Shothragot is effectively this a fragment of Tharizdun's power made into an independent being -- powerful, yes, but nothing compared to Tharizdun
the fullness of the original being.
* MultipleChoicePast: As with other Elder Evils, Shothragot was written with the ''Greyhawk'' setting in mind, and has smaller writeups for adjusting his backstory to others. For Eberron, he is a weapon created by the minions of a particularly nasty daelkyr warlord to set their master free from the prison in which even his fellow lords of the Realm of Madness found it necessary to cast him. For the Forgotten Realms, he is a creation of Ghaunadaur intended to break the worship and power of the other gods.

* SignsOfTheEndTimes: Shares the same sign with Pandorym - as Shothragot comes closer to gain freedom, dimensional travel and summoning becomes harder, or outright impossible, a desperate attempt by Gods themselves to seal the entity in the material plane, cutting it off from ever reaching Tharizdun's prison.

\n\n->''"The Ender, the Elder Elemental Eye, the Dark God, the Patient One, He Who Waits, the Anathema, the Father of Elder Evils, the Author of Wickedness, He of Eternal Darkness, the Eater of Worlds, the Despised, the Undoer -- these are but a few of the many names for our glorious master. One thousand years, the Dark God has waited, lurking beyond the bounds of reality, contained in a vault constructed by jealous hands, his rightful throne held by usurpers. In these last centuries, our efforts have found destruction, decay, and loss, as these lesser powers have sought to confuse us, mislead us, and turn us against one another, for you see, Tharizdun's release spells their end. They fear him. Yes, mighty Boccob, Heironeous, even that sad crone Beory all quail before his imminent arrival. The time is at hand, the end has come, and it is our sacred duty to usher in the last age of our world and bring the constructs of the false gods to rightful ruin. Only then will we understand the perfect nature of all that is possible with the Eternal Darkness."''

[[Characters/GreyhawkDeities Tharizdun]], the mad, imprisoned god that seeks to end of all reality, has been working subtly towards his release. He secretly whispers into the minds of all Elder Evils, trying to stirr them to awaken and bring unpararelled destruction, hoping their rampage will be enough to tear down the bindings of his chains and set him free. Despite being called Father of Elder Evils, only some heed his call.

Shothragot is one of them, awakened by Tharizdun's whispers beneath one of the temples of Elder Elemental Eye, its origins unknown. Shothragot was weak and powerless, subsiding on prayers to its new master to regain former power, forming enough bond with the Ender to become his avatar. Now it seeks to free itself to find Tharizdun's prison and release him, so they can bond together as one being and destroy all that is.

* BodyHorror: Every blow from Shothragot can turn the victim into an amorphous blob that cannot use any item or cast spells, can barely move and is constantly struggling to keep clear form, slowly going insane and losing Wisdom points. if reduced to zero Wisdom, the victim is outright transformed into a Chaos Beast.
* TheCorruption: Just being in presence of Shothragot causes one to risk going mad, even the gods aren't protected from this power - in fact, they're ''more'' vurnerable to it than mortals, who at least get a saving throw.
* DownloadableContent: Shothragot wasn't introduced in the same book as other Elder Evils, but in a tie-in in ''Dragon Magazine''. Later issue of ''Dungeon'' also featured whole lair for this Elder Evil to inhabit.
* TheDragon: to Tharizdun.

Their first real appearance was in the 2E ''Powers and Pantheons'', which described the Elder Eternal Evils Dendar, Kezef and Ityak-Ortheel. Five more -- Bolothamogg, Holashner, Piscaethces, Shothotugg and Y'chak -- were named but not statted in ''Lords of Madness'' for 3.5E, which described them as beings that the aboleths revere but do not worship. ''Elder Evils'', another sourcebook for 3.5E, gave stats, extensive descriptions and adventure hooks for nine new Evils -- Atropus, Father Llymic, the Hulks of Zoretha, the Leviathan, Pandorym, Ragnorra, Sertrous, Kyuss, and Zargon; a ''Dragon'' magazine tie-in also introduced another, Shothragot. 4E introduced the idea of dread stars that looked hungrily upon the mortal world, occasionally sending minions known as star spawn there to accomplish inscrutable goals or simply wreak havoc. In 5E's ''Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes'', the Elder Evils are named as the source of another group of monsters known as the star spawn; this description collects the four previous groups into one, and adds a number of new names alongside a few other beings, mainly Primordials, evil gods and a handful of obyrith lords.

The Elder Evils are a loose collection of ancient horrors, often with only minimal ties to one another, but who are often grouped together due to their alien origins and destructive natures, the immense danger they pose to worlds unlucky enough to catch their attention, and their often being the subject of worship by mad warlocks and doomsday cults. Their natures are often very varied beyond that; some are dark gods, others are archfiends, others still are obscenely powerful aberrations or former mortals, and still others are unknowable beings whose origins lie outside the familiar planes and taxonomies of the setting.
