It serves as something of a PrisonDimension for the more evil residents (which connects it to the [[Pantheon/DimensionsAndMultiverses Phantom Zone]] and [[Pantheon/LawAndJustice House of Justice]]) while more good aligned residents are given more freedom. |

| 28 | * Apocalymon was a most mysterious entity, formed form the amalgamation of the leftover data from countless ancient Digimon that had failed to Digivolve and perished in the process, the newly-created being of death sought to put an end to the happy lives of other Digimon, resenting their success at life which its components didn't have. In order to do that he created four wicked Digimon known as the Dark Masters, who'd spread misery and cruelty to shape the world as it wanted. Eventually the Digidestined children called to the Digiworld by Homeostasis were able to defeat the Dark Masters and were treated to the visage of Apocalymon who showed up personally to take care of those opposing him; though he nearly succeeded in winning, the Digidestined pulled through and destroyed Apocalymon in the end with the data of the entity eventually resurrecting in a new form: Meicoomon. |
| 29 | * Apocalymon emerged in the Pantheon without much warning, simply causing a massive dark hole to appear in the sky before his visage entered the place, however rather than start up any trouble it instead sealed himself inside of a recreation of the Dark Area just before the Pantheon's authorities worked together to create a stable Temple/containment place once done, Apocalymon opted to not act up for the time being still, instead awaiting a better day to restart his plans. |
| 30 | * He does not get along with most of the other Digimon deities, who view Apocalymon as an unnatural aberration that has to be destroyed with Apocalymon wanting to destroy most of them in return, the most bitter of these enemies are the 1999 [=DigiDestined=] who personally defeated him at the end of their first adventure in the Digiworld; Apocalymon still seeks revenge for them defeating him and has sought a rematch to kill them all. Another deity from the Digimon Multiverse it detests is Lucemon, who views imperfections as things to be deleted and sees Apocalymon and the beings whose negative emotions and leftover data created it as equally imperfect things to be destroyed, especially with Apocalymon being a rival to a takeover of existence. The only Digimon deity that appears to be in some amicability with Apocalymon is Milleniummon who is possibly responsible for freeing it from a prison it was held in but its mostly out of convenience than genuine fondness. |
| 31 | * Apocalymon found other kindred souls such as in the likes of Nekron, another deity who rules over the dead and whose goal is to exterminate all lifeforms as it is the embodiment of an absence of any and all life. Nekron saw value in Apocalymon's sheer burning hatred for all other living beings, given that Nekron understands just how fierce the desire to end all life is and even sees a common ground in how Apocalymon came to be through a mass death of Digimon. For his part, the deranged Digimon sees Nekron as an ally purely because the entity could help him realize his goals and in turn Apocalymon could help it deal with the Digimon and other deviant lifeforms that might be out of reach of Nekron's abilities. |
| 32 | * Apocalymon's status as a living amalgamate of junk data given shape that evolved into a murderous digital being made him enemies with Emu Hojo/Kamen Rider Ex-Aid and his allies, given that they had to oppose the virtual monster, Gamedeus, who like Apocalymon was a powerful being that plotted to destroy everything once it had gained freedom from the game it was created in and a mind of its own. Ex-Aid views Apocalymon as even deadlier than Gamedeus thanks to his reality-warping abilities and capacity of regeneration and deletion of beings from existence. Apocalymon himself doesn't thinks much of Ex-Aid beyond seeing him as a potential threat to him in the future. For this property as a living omnicidal AI born of unusual means Apocalymon has also made enemies with the Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters who have fought the omnicidal AI virus, Messiah and like Ex-Aid find Apocalymon to be just as dangerous if not more than their old nemesis. |
| 33 | * It has an enmity with both Yami Yugi, Seto Kaiba and especially Ryoken Kogami/Revolver due to its status as an abomination born of the digital realm; as all three duelists have had to deal with their fair share of digital monsters themselves that have time and time again given them trouble and almost destroyed the world or tried to harm many people with some other scheme. Ryoken in particular was disturbed to hear of how this omnicidal entity came to be and while no longer truly hateful of artificial lifeforms does consider Apocalymon an unforgivable being. |
| 34 | * Apocalymon hates all creator Gods or {{Top God}}s, this is a result of his knowledge of higher deities causing him to extend his hatred of all lifeforms to them, blaming them for the sorry state he came into existence like and how his components were nearly erased from existence after perishing due to evolution complications. Many Gods have been wary of the malevolent Digimon targeting them, knowing how powerful it can be and how much of the world it can bring to ruin, a fact only increased by its tenuous partnership with Nekron and other omnicidal deities. |
| 35 | * Apocalymon found himself angered by Brajira of the Messiah, who told the entity to its face that its painful origins were well-deserved for Digimon in general being a "mistake" of existence that never should've existed. Apocalymon also detests how Brajira plans to reset existence and likely wipe him out of existence which would prevent Apocalymon from having the ideal world it desires, Brajira himself has thought of manipulating Apocalymon's power for his own ends but thus far prefers to lurk in the shadows until the appropriate day comes. Apocalymon also dislikes Brajira's similarities to the perfectionist destroyer Lucemon, who has also expressed disdain for Apocalymon's entire existence before and after its entire being was warped into the abomination it currently is. |
| 36 | * Apocalymon found another deity that felt a drive to end all life in Greeza, a borderline sentient black hole-like abomination that when left unchecked will eventually destroy everything via absorption, obliteration and distorting reality. Apocalymon has been wary of Greeza's properties and powers but sees its abilities as being of much use to his end goal of creating a world fit to his vision, he has been thinking of a way to take the entity's power or somehow control it so he can finally realize his goals with the benefits he'll gain from it. |
| 37 | * He was not keen at all to discovering the presence of Norn Mikihara, who's true form is that of Yggdrassil, overseer of the Digiworld. Yggdrassil itself was dismissive of Apocalymon's plight and thinks little of the entity nor it has any interest in helping it overcome its problems, and sometimes it even outright seeks to eliminate Digimon that don't fit its worldview and has done so countless times. Though Norn herself is quite the good deity, Apocalymon still does not trust her at all, viewing her as no better than other versions of Yggdrassil by default, to her dismay. |
| 38 | * It was reborn in its home universe as the powerful yet much friendlier [[spoiler:Meicoomon]], regardless it doesn't appears to have changed at all in the Pantheon and was brought back in its most pure and malevolent form. Apocalymon has little interest in what his mortal counterpart ended up like and is simply determined to keep going on with his goals of extermination, though also heard his reborn counterpart has a power of much interest to him. Lucemon and other evil Digimon followed suit and have made Apocalymon much more proactive in making sure he beats them to the punch. As for the Digidestined, the 1999 ones met said reincarnation and the 2002 team know from secondhand talk about it and both are equally determined to prevent either evil Digimon from taking it. |
| 39 | * Palkia and Giratina are concerned about Apocalymon's existence given its goals and origins, they particularly dread that the abomination could grow powerful enough to disrupt the Pokemon multiverse which several incarnations of them watch over in separate universes, Arceus himself was a target of Apocalymon's disdain due to hearing rumors that like what happened to the Digimon whose negative emotions created him, Arceus has let Pokemon and other creatures in its world to perish for failing to catch up in the evolutionary race. Most concerningly, Ash Ketchum and other kind-hearted trainers are a sore sight for the entity as they remind him all too much of the Digidestined that brought his downfall. |
| 40 | * Omegamon once fought and defeated an alternate version of [[Recap/DigimonTamersM1BattleOfAdventurers Apocalymon]], which eventually reconfigured itself as Mephistomon and was beaten by the Tamers Digidestined, the other Royal Knights have made it their mission to eliminate Apocalymon as well to prevent its threat from endangering existence like he nearly did to his own universe, with Omegamon being the leading force in that front. This has only intensified Apocalymon's disdain for the higher powers of the Digiworld, furious that they continue exerting their will that way and especially Omegamon for continuously standing in his way in both his fused and divided forms. |

| 60 | * Sorin Markov warned of the arrival of the Eldrazi, realizing that Nicol Bolas has summoned them from the Blind Eternities, just as he once freed them in an attempt to siphon power from Zendikar to reclaim his power. He knew not Bolas' intentions, only that it would lead to disaster. Ulamog, Emrakul and Kozilek arrived, reaching their essence into the Pantheon to claim the plane for themselves. |
| 61 | ** Markov enlisted the aid of fellow Planeswalker Ajani, Harry Dresden and the Doctor who, with their magic and science, and the aid of the entire Magic Pantheon, helped to imprison the Eldrazi within the Moon, drawing on the same tactic used against Emrakul by the Gatewatch in Sorin's home multiverse, before they could ever reach the Pantheon proper and cause irreversible damage. But Sorin soon realized, when Emrakul visited him in a dream: [[BlueAndOrangeMorality they simply decided it was not their time]]. |
| 62 | * Emrakul speaks with members of the Pantheon through their minds, even when She is imprisoned in the Moon. She finds great interest in those who are like Her and the other Eldrazi Titans, particularly Yog-Sothoth and the Old Ones. |
| 63 | * When they first arrived, they homed in on the Chaos Gods, living embodiments of mana (magic) that could sate them more than entire worlds. The encounters left the Gods wounded, to the extent that Tzeentch agreed to contribute the magic to seal them. [[XanatosSpeedChess Then again, who knows what Tzeentch intends]]. While they collectively consider each other enemies, Tzeentch has an interest in Kozilek's [[MindRape mental abilities]] and Emrakul's [[BodyHorror mutations]], and Nurgle, while hating Kozilek and Ulamog, [[{{Squick}} is rumored to be in love with Emrakul]] even after She tried to eat him. [[BrainBleach Don't ask]]. Khorne just hates them all, while Slaanesh is... [[{{Squick}} "Interested" in them]]. |
| 64 | * The Main House considers the Eldrazi to be just another big problem on the long list of entities in the Pantheon that are also [[PlanetEater planet eaters]], since it is just that much more trouble to manage another set of three planet-eating entities, though not impossible. |
| 65 | * There are secret conversations between the Eldrazi and the Old Ones, their whispers able to reach any who are in the pantheon. When Eldrazi want freedom, they will allow the Old Ones to corrupt a guardian or two to unleash them, with the condition that the Eldrazi also liberate them from their prison... |

| 104 | * Opposed by: The House of Pantheon/UndeadAndPhasmata and Most of the Gods in Pantheon/DeathAndPostmortem |
| 105 | * Complicated Relationship with: [[Pantheon/{{Personalities}} Garrosh Hellscream]] (Y'Shaarj) |
| 106 | * The Old Gods were creatures who come from the void with the mission of corrupting the world of Azeroth, tampering with the creations of the Titans in the process, which eventually sparked a war that left 3 of them imprisoned and one dead. Since then, their corruption spread to whenever they reside and they are still planning to destroy everything for the sake of Chaos. These creatures were found in the Pantheon once and it took the entire effort of the GUAG aided by the four dragon aspects (Including Malygos) to imprison them. It is generally advised to avoid visiting them as no one returns fully well from an Old God's corruption. |
| 107 | * After hearing about these ungodly abominations, The Hunter decided to end their lives for good. However, when they were about to enter the Gods temple, they were immediately confronted by Deathwing and they were forced to retreat as he wasn't a match for the Death Aspect. They had never anticipated that the dragon was one of the biggest pawns of the Old Gods. |
| 108 | ** Besides Deathwing, Ragnaros also decided to serve his old masters once again which alarmed many people in the Pantheon, since they weren't aware the elemental lord used to serve the Old Gods. This has made the GUAG to gather enough forces just in case these creatures decided to strike the Pantheon again. |
| 109 | ** When Cho'Gall heard that the Old Gods had ascended, he was very quick to start visiting their temples, as he is already too corrupt to suffer any ill effects. He has been noted to favor C'Thun, though he makes an effort to visit each temple once a day. |
| 110 | * It is forbidden in its '''[[{{Understatement}} ENTIRETY]]''' to ever try to kill any of the Old Gods, as killing them [[DyingCurse would leave nasty consequences in the pantheon]] AND given the nature of the Pantheon regarding {{Death|IsCheap}}, [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt then the Old Ones could potentially regain all the power they lost after their resurrection]]. |
| 111 | * They are also referred to as "The Elder Gods" which caught Raiden by surprise since he didn't expect to find his masters ascended. When he found out who these Elder Gods were about, he was horrified of the damage they had caused and refuses to compare these Eldritch creatures with his Homeworld's Elder Gods. |
| 112 | * Their objective is simple, corrupt every place of the pantheon and cause unending chaos forever. That's the reason why they are always compared to the Four Chaos Gods as their objectives are similar and plus, they are also {{Eldritch Abomination}}s. [[OhCrap It was no surprise when both camps joined forces to put in motion a plan to corrupt the entire Pantheon]]. |
| 113 | * The elder gods have also taken interest in learning about their counterparts of Yharnam, The Great Old Ones. While both groups communicate without issue at all, the latter have been hesitant to collaborate with the Old Gods. Of course they don't mind at the moment, but later down the road the Old Gods have considered [[OhCrap brainwashing these creatures into submission when the time comes]]. |
| 114 | * They found common ground with the Elder Dragons of Tyria since they share the same abilities to warp the surrounding they inhabit and also feed on magic. However, none of the dragons are interested in serving the Elder Gods but there is still a rivalry going with both groups. |
| 115 | * They also seem to get along with fellow Lovecraftian deities given their similarities. Remarkably, C'Thun seems to get along with Cthulhu while Yogg-Saron has formed an alliance with Yogg-Sothoth for [[{{Expy}} very particular reasons]]. |
| 116 | * Rumors say that their influence has been lingering around [[Videogame/HearthstoneHeroesOfWarcraft a peaceful tavern]] where various people from Azeroth gather to relax. While their plans are not very clear at the moment, they have already "corrupted" many of its frequent visitors, much to the shock of various deities. |
| 117 | ** However, many breath a sigh of relieve when they discovered that when the Old Gods visit this place, ''they're'' the ones that are under the control of the heroes that reside there: [[Pantheon/MagicArchetypes Jaina]], Malfurion, [[Pantheon/{{Storytelling}} Alleria]], [[Pantheon/NamingConvention Uther]], [[Pantheon/{{Movesets}} Valeera]], [[Pantheon/MannersOfDeath Garrosh]], [[Pantheon/MagicalItems Gul'dan]], [[Pantheon/BeastsAndFauna Rexxar]] and [[Pantheon/FantasticRaces Thrall]]. |
| 118 | * Discord once tried to befriend them what with them being gods of chaos. But was horrified when he found out that their brand of chaos was endless death and destruction rather than the odd and wacky and thus became enemies. Solidified by Yogg-Saron calling Discord's brand of chaos childish and amateurish. |
| 119 | * Exclusive to C'Thun: |
| 120 | ** Ever since his defeat against the Titans, C'thun has been kept imprisoned beneath Azeroth in one of their research facilities, in what would later become the continent of Kalimdor. He did return once but eventually, he was defeated by a group of adventurers, which is no easy task for any mortal. His eventual ascension would allow him to get in motion a plan to drive to insanity many potentially useful gods to use as Pawns. |
| 121 | ** His appearance mostly consists of a giant eye surrounded by many tentacles. This made him be approached by another abomination by the name of Monoculus, which happens to be a floating eye that mysteriously seems to speak a similar language that C'thun understands. |
| 122 | *** Another deity he has allied himself with was Sauron, given that his Eye form is very similar to [[{{Expy}} C'thun's default form]] |
| 123 | ** Given that he had a race of insectoid creatures as pawns, whose names are the aqir and qiraji, The old one was able to make an alliance with Queen Sectonia, given that she has similarities with said creatures that used to serve him. This didn't sit well on kirby but he is careful to approach this alliance since the Elder Gods are not creatures that he thinks he could take by himself. |
| 124 | ** Has a devoted cult by the name of [[ApocalypseCult The Twilight Hammer]] that are really loyal to him and his brethren (but most importantly, him). This in turn made the House of Pantheon/ReligionAndFaith very careful if it happened that some members were already among them |
| 125 | ** A special rule he made for becoming a disciple of him is to [[SayMyName shout his name three times]]. |
| 126 | --> "C'Thun, C'THUN, '''C'THUN!'''" |
| 127 | ** [[GiantEyeOfDoom As you may have noticed]], he doesn't like eye puns, at all. For him, it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye. |
| 128 | ** Some wonder if he has any relation to [[VideoGame/{{Terraria}} the Eye of Cthulhu]]. |
| 129 | ** In an unexpected turn of events, C'thun has shown up near the Netherstom in Dr. Boom's laboratory. This version known as Mecha'thun is not known if its either a robotic copy of the old god or [[CapturedSuperEntity the captured and mechanized version of the real one]]. The only thing known for sure is that whoever kills Mecha'thun [[InstantWinCondition is immediately doomed to die]]. |

| 131 | * Exclusive to Yogg-Saron: |
| 132 | ** Yogg-Saron is known as one of the most malevolent of the Elder Gods. He was imprisoned in the depths of the city of Ulduar and the titans assigned specific watchers to keep an eye on him. While his situation in the Pantheon is no different from how it was in Azeroth, it should be said that his powers are able to drive almost anyone dumb enough to get near him insane. As a matter of fact, all of his guardians ended up succumbing to him. |
| 133 | ** There have been rumors that whispers can be heard near his temple, which is not a good sign mind you, as he could easily MindRape anyone close to his range and make you his slave. It is possible to fight his influence but is not advised in the slightest. |
| 134 | ** It is said that Yogg-Saron is very closely related to the creature known as [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos Hastur]], since they both share the moniker of "The Unspeakable one". While Hastur isn't found in the Pantheon at the moment, Old Man Henderson has tried to take down Yogg-Saron thinking he is a possible reincarnation of Hastur. So far Henderson has been unsuccessful since he cannot get past Deathwing and is getting increasingly annoyed by the Black Dragon. |
| 135 | ** Yogg-Saron is also known as "The God of Death" given how he feeds of the essence of the Undead and Death itself. That's why the House of Pantheon/DeathAndPostmortem struggles to fend him off in hopes that he doesn't corrupt the house or else the nature of Death in the Pantheon could really be corrupted by his mere presence. Undead gods also stay far away from the Elder God's reach. |
| 136 | *** However, he found himself a fierce opposition from other Grim Reapers just to keep the natural balance of death intact. Others, like Death the Horseman, are only interested in observing the creature's powers. |
| 137 | ** He also has control over the n'raqi, also known as the faceless ones, humanoid creatures that resemble squids. They have been under conflict with the Scourge given that they are closely located to the old city of Azjol'Nerub, where the nerubians hail from. Yogg-Saron has only limited himself to taunt the Lich King of his eventual fate and said that his forces will eventually succumb to his corruption. |
| 138 | --> '''Yogg-Saron''': [[ArcWords No King rules forever]]... |
| 139 | ** Has an incredible control over magic, so powerful he might turn a recently cast spell into anything he desires. However, his insanity prevents him from focusing on a single target, preferring to rain destruction all around him, even to the point of harming himself. |
| 140 | ** ''"[[http://media-hearth.cursecdn.com/audio/card-sounds/sound/VO_OG_134_Male_OldGod_Play_01.ogg Bow down before the God of Death]]"''. |
| 141 | * Exclusive to N'Zoth: |
| 142 | ** N'Zoth happens to be the entity behind Neltharion's corruption and eventual descent into madness, which later transformed him into Deathwing. Rumors say that he inhabits the depths of the Oceans of Azeroth. |
| 143 | ** N'Zoths whole motivations, while similar to the rest of the Elder Ones, are a complete mystery to everyone. He happens to be one of the few ascendants that [[TheGhost no one has ever seen in person]]. That doesn't mean that his presence is not there and it is said that he can be heard whispering in either the House of Pantheon/WaterAndMoisture or Pantheon/AquaticLife but no one is certain if he is there. |
| 144 | *** Until an expedition led by [[Pantheon/FantasticRaces Aquaman]] was made in order to investigate said whispers. To his horror, what they found was the real N'Zoth, who was about to transform both houses into his domain. A collective effort from all the members of said houses plus assistance from the GUAG was enough to force The Corruptor to flee, but he has since relocated with his fellow Old Gods. |
| 145 | ** He doesn't get particularly well with his brethren. Nobody knows why but he has waged war with both C'Thun and Yogg-Saron and their relationship has not improved in the slightest. The most common explanation is that their twisted minds make them confront each other just for their depraved entertainment. |
| 146 | ** N'Zoth was one of the principal sources of corruption in the Emerald Dream and many fear that he may be able to dwell into the dreams of people too. That's why he enlisted various entities related to nightmares, such as Atropos or Freddy Krueger. |
| 147 | ** He once tried to MindRape Darkrai into submission since he saw potential in his nightmare-inducing abilities. However, Ysera was quick to intercept before he took control and saved Darkrai from his clutches. |
| 148 | *** As a result, Ysera has created a group specialized in countering N'Zoth and his Dream Corruption. So far, Brightwing, Darkrai, [=NiGHTS=] and Soldier #25954 have joined her cause. Malfurion and Tyrande have also considered lending a hand in case the Emerald Dream is in danger. |
| 149 | ** ''"[[http://media-Hearth.cursecdn.com/audio/card-sounds/sound/VO_OG_042_Male_OldGod_Play_01.ogg I taste the essence of your soul]]"''. |
| 150 | * Exclusive to Y'Shaarj: |
| 151 | ** Y'Shaarj was the most powerful and wicked of the Old Gods and thus, the Titans were forced to put an end to his life. With the last of his forces, he was able to create the Sha, a race of creatures that represent the bad emotions of the world and eternally cursed Pandaria with their presence. |
| 152 | ** Given that Y'Shaarj was KilledOffForReal and his essence disappeared entirely from his homeworld, his presence in the Pantheon is difficult to pinpoint since he seems to be torn in and out of the space and time of these lands. It still doesn't negate his powers and as such he has employed the mantids to figure a way to make him materialize in this plane. |
| 153 | *** Luckily for him (and unfortunately for the rest of the pantheon), his remains were able to be restored. Nobody is sure how he was able to be revived since the House of Pantheon/LifeAndVitality made themselves sure to not let him return to the mortal plane. It's theorized that [[Pantheon/WritingTechniques Nefarian]] is behind his revival, given the Dragon's own mysterious revival as well. |
| 154 | ** As stated earlier, he is in control of the mantids, a race of insectoid creatures that inhabit Pandaria and have been in constant war with the local Pandaren. However, there seems to be one particular Mantid that refuses to serve him and that would be Scyther. He has been trying to control the Pokemon with little results so far. |
| 155 | ** Has kind of a strained relationship with Garrosh Hellscream, given that he is responsible for his death after the orc's defeat in Orgrimmar. However, he has offered him an alliance in case he wants to taste the power of Y'Shaarj once more. |
| 156 | ** The Emotions are horrified that Y'Shaarj basically created the Sha, an EvilCounterpart of them after his demise. He, however, does not care about their opinion and has an interest in corrupting the emotions to do his bidding, which could have catastrophic results. |
| 157 | ** There is also a Hidden group of Sha that he personally released on the internet. The infection was so great that many pages had fallen prey to it and not even this is safe from... {◕ ◡ ◕} |

| 179 | * The Black Nebula. Shumath-Ghun. The Black Goat of the Woods With A Thousand Young. Shub-Niggurath is one of the Outer Gods, embodying fertility, and by far the most worshipped; she is praised by a number of druidic and barbaric cults, by the Hyperboreans, Muvians and Sarnath. Though [[TheGhost usually in the background]], this Outer God is [[CosmicEntity a being of immense power and influence]]. Witnessing two of her fellow Outer Gods enter pantheon, she asked to join as well. She was eventually approved, and a dark eldritch shadow was cast upon all the House of Family. Shub-Niggurath is the first Overdeity in the House of Family, and as such has gotten the attention of everyone else in it. They are worried she might try to take over the House, and while is probably powerful enough to do so she's content with her own cult. |
| 180 | ** Shub-Niggurath is known as the "Black Goat of the Woods", despite the fact s/he's [[InNameOnly got no resemblance to a goat, in any form]](except for occasionally sprouting goat legs). None of the goat gods, even the motherly ones like [[Pantheon/OtherRelatives Toriel]], have any association with the Outer God. For that matter, "mother" of a thousand young may be misleading due to being OtherworldlyAndSexuallyAmbiguous, but generally identifies more as female. |
| 181 | * The MotherOfAThousandYoung, Shub-Niggurath is the grand matriarch to the Hall of Monsters. It's said that all monsters in and out are her descendants, which has proven to be the case of the Wendigo due to being derived from [[{{Wendigo}} Ithaqua]] (her spawn with Hastur). It's uncertain if this includes those who WasOnceAMan like Arakune. Davros is not a descendant of Shub-Niggurath, but he is a fan of her work and seeks to create new Dalek-like monstrosities through her. [[EvilIsNotAToy It will likely backfire on him]], but [[JokerImmunity he's survived such incidents before]]. |
| 182 | ** It is believed that [[BenevolentMonsters the monsters of Undertale]] and Mike and Sulley's universe were the result of Shub-Niggurath [[TookALevelInKindness taking a level in kindness]] and making sure they'd be amiable to humans. In reality, she simply had some [[AboveGoodAndEvil amoral]] reason for doing so, [[PragmaticVillainy believing at the time benevolence was the best option]]. |
| 183 | * Pretty friendly with [[Pantheon/HealthAndDiseases Nurgle]]. The two [[AffablyEvil seem to care about their cultists]] [[BlueAndOrangeMorality in their own incomprehensible way]], giving them immortality. [[BodyHorror A horrific, abominable form of immortality]] [[FateWorseThanDeath no sane being would want]], but immortality nonetheless. She also associates with Slaanesh for being a similar entity, which has brought forth a new age of terror of the Imperium with ''Daemon Thousand Young''. As a fertility Outer God, Nekron and the Lich regard Shub-Niggurath as a major threat. The Lich is particular is fascinated with her mutagenic goo. He's trying to transmute it into a venom to use against her and a means of creating more undead soldiers, [[EvilIsNotAToy but knows to be extremely careful]] with the substance. |
| 184 | * Has chosen to manifest in the SMT multiverse, [[VideoGame/{{Persona 2}} where she manifested against]] Tatsuya Suou for some reason. Shub-Niggurath has found herself opposed to YHVH because of her chaotic nature, and interested in serving Lucifer ''because of'' his chaotic ways and alliance with monsters. Zeus loathes the Black Nebula, who he regards as an even more terrible version of [[MonsterProgenitor both Echidna and Typhon]]. Likewise, The Emperor of Mankind detests her like the rest of the Outer Gods due to [[EldritchAbomination her uncaring, abominable nature]]. |
| 185 | ** Her first manifestation wasn't by her own will, but by Nyarlathotep summoning one of her avatars to do his bidding. Shub-Niggurath has been displeased by the works of what she considers an impostor, as she had hoped to wait a little longer to confront the SMT deities. |
| 186 | * Shub-Niggurath has many forms but generally manifests as a cloudy mass with black tentacles, slime-dripping mouths and goat legs. She was initially spotted in the Hall of Wind and Air because of that, and it took everyone there and then some to drive her out. |
| 187 | ** Her monstrous spawn often [[WhenTreesAttack resemble trees]], who caused some trouble when they got into the House of Plants. Mordremoth considers them rivals, while Venusaur and Mary Lennox were almost ''eaten'' by them. As was Tarzan, who mistook a limb of the monster for a vine branch. Audrey II and Petey Pirahna, however, used this as the perfect time for a feast. |
| 188 | * Naturally attracted to the likes of her fellow Outer Gods Azathtoh, Yog-Sothoth and Cthulhu. She's particularly close to Yog-Sothoth, her cousin [[KissingCousins and mate]], though [[BlueAndOrangeMorality for emotions and reasoning beyond human understanding]]. All four are working to maintain their superiority, particularly against [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu powerful humans]]. Gravitates towards the Hall of Otherness Abominations, which led her to ally with the Old Gods due to being like-minded entities. She and Phazon are currently studying each other's mutagens, and the Black Goat is a fan of fellow [[BizarreAlienReproduction bizarre reproduction]] entities in The Great Ones. |
| 189 | ** Like her fellow Outer Gods, she is not pleased to learn of [[TheHeartless the embodiment of]] [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters human evil]] going by the name [[Pantheon/PersonalityMisc Nyarlathotep]]. Shub-Niggurath is sick of him posing as her uncle, though this may just be her Outer God sensibility of [[InsignificantBluePlanet dismissing human influence]] at play. She gets along better with "Auntie" Nyarko and her "granddaughter" Luhy Distone. |
| 190 | * To the surprise of many, Shub-Niggurath greatly fears, of all people, The New Kid. [[spoiler:This is due to a moment in [[VideoGame/SouthParkTheFracturedButWhole the New Kid's universe]] where she was worshiped by a cult of racist and corrupted cops who fed her black people as human sacrifices. The New Kid, with help from their friends, managed to kill her by feeding her the caucasian policemen. More than a few Outer Gods worry that Butthole may potentially be able to find similar ways to kill them.]] |

One day, [[WhenThePlanetsAlign when the stars are right]], he will rise and bring forth an age of madness and nihilism as he returns to power. However with [[DidYouJustIndexCthulhu recent encounters]], one wonders if the Necronomicon was right. He is, at least, awake and aware enough to qualify for the pantheon. |
| 218 | ** Due to the madness that will erupt with his awakening, The old god gets along with the likes of Delirium. He often shows up in the House of Insanity, but since [[InsanityImmunity they're already crazy]] it doesn't do much harm. |
| 219 | ** Rather confused by the prevalence of powerful human deities, [[InsignificantBluePlanet since they aren't important in the grand scheme]]. He speculates that [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall there may be some higher Outer God behind the scenes]], [[MostWritersAreHuman who prefers humans]]. |
| 220 | ** As he spends most of his time sleeping, he is often visited by Dream. |
| 221 | * Can usually be seen dwelling with the Old Ones [[EldritchAbomination due to similarities]]. He's good friends with C'Thun, as the Great Old One [[{{Expy}} sees a bit of himself in C'Thun]]. |
| 222 | * Dwelling in the depths of R'yleh, Cthulhu has made a common ally in the Kraken. He's also made a major enemy of Aquaman, [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu who kicked his ass]]. The Great Old One would like to remind his nemesis, however, that things would be very different if the stars were right. |
| 223 | ** In general, Cthulhu is disliked by the DC superheroes due to the time [[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague he invaded them]] as [[CaptainErsatz "Icthulhu"]]. [[Pantheon/MannersOfRevival Hawkgirl]] hates him the most out of all due to the terror he brought upon her world, and J'onn J'onnz due to the MindRape Cthulhu inflicted. |
| 224 | * Being amicable to humanity, Cthulhu has found himself up against the Emperor of Mankind, who opposes the very idea of the Great Old Ones [[HumansAreSpecial on principle alone]]. With most of Holy Terra's oceans dried out, it'll be easier for the Emperor to entrap him. |
| 225 | * Has been [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu punched out]], [[DidYouJustRomanceCthulhu romanced]], [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu insulted]] [[DidYouJustScamCthulhu and scammed]] numerous times (the first of which he's rather sore about). When he's feeling nice though, [[DidYouJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu he can have tea with you]]. Iroh actually made friends with the Great Old One due to his incredible tea. |
| 226 | ** He even [[PresidentEvil ran for president]], strangely enough. [[TooDumbToLive It is a horrible idea]] to tell him he can't run for office due to being non-American. |
| 227 | ** [[BerserkButton Gets really angry if you mention to him that]] it got knocked out by a boat ramming. Twice, thanks to [[Pantheon/{{Travel}} Franky]]. Also, DoNotTauntCthulhu with [[spoiler:his allergy to [[WeaksauceWeakness Mintberry Crunch]]]]. |
| 228 | ** Surprisingly enough, he [[VideoGame/CthulhuSavesTheWorld once saved the world]]. While only doing it for his own purposes, the Great Old One ended up enjoying the role. The GUAG is intrigued by this, hoping he would serve as a TokenEvilTeammate. he is considering it, if only because it'd get them off his back. |
| 229 | * Is sick of Nyarlathotep for taking the name and identity of his great-granduncle, believing him to be a mockery to the term "EldritchAbomination." Nyarly isn't too concerned though since he does outrank him. |
| 230 | ** While Nyarko isn't like the actual Nyarlathotep, he still accepts her as part of his family, believing she's one of the Crawling Chaos' long-lost sisters. He also treats his DistaffCounterpart [[Pantheon/OutlooksOnJob Luhy Distone]] like a younger sister. |
| 231 | * Had an interesting encounter [[WesternAnimation/SouthPark with South Park, Colorado]]. He was summoned forth by the BP Oil Company drilling into R'lyeh, where, in a drowsy state, [[DidYouJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu was tamed by]] Eric Cartman. This led Cthulhu's rampage to be directed at hippies, Jews [[TakeThat and Justin Bieber]]. Though come to his senses, he still shares a friendship with Cartman for, if nothing, [[StaringDownCthulhu having the moxie to command him]] while retaining his mind and will completely. Of the South Park boys, Kenny hates him the most for [[spoiler:cursing him with immortality]], and has sworn to kill the Great Old One. |
| 232 | ** Also manifested in [[VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiII the Megaten-verse]], where for some reason [[LawfulEvil he was a Dark-Law demon]] who had pledged loyalty to YHVH of all people. Nobody's sure why this is, but the best guess is that he might've just been keeping tabs on the Great Will for the Outer Gods. |
| 233 | ** Once caused trouble for Billy and Mandy, though this was vicariously through a Star Spawn. Not that Cthulhu isn't concerned somewhat over Mandy since she has a habit of HorrifyingTheHorror. He also once fought the Ghostbusters. |
| 234 | * May have a distant relationship with the Ood, but it could be a coincidence. |
| 235 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DsgZ4JXXB8 He has his own talk show, "Calls For Cthulhu."]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtyZMef2Jqc He ended up getting complaints by]] the psychopomps in the pantheon, and two Satans for eating souls, since it might put them out of business. |
| 236 | ** Death of the Endless isn't too concerned with this, since collecting souls is just a small part of her job. Cthulhu is generally annoyed by her, and uncomfortable with the concept that [[CompleteImmortality she'll always be around]] to reap both him and the Outer Gods he follows. As far as he and his kin are concerned, even in strange aeons even she may die (though everyone agrees even Cthulhu himself will be long dead before then). The two often get into pissing matches, which prove cathartic for many. Still, it's unwise for either to fling more than insults at each other. |
| 237 | * Surprisingly, he has a brother called [[VideoGame/{{Terraria}} The Moon Lord]]. |

| 252 | * Rivals/Conflicting Opinion: [[Pantheon/HealthAndDiseases Nurgle]]. |
| 253 | * Enemies: '''[[Pantheon/{{Conduct}} Abadar]]''', '''[[Pantheon/PersonalAppearance Erastil]]''', [[Pantheon/{{Nature}} Captain Planet]], Treebeard, Trevenant, [[Pantheon/HeroicAppearances Swamp Thing]], [[Pantheon/BossDesign Viridi]], the majority of the House of Pantheon/NaturePreservers, most members of the House of Pantheon/{{Demons}} |
| 254 | * Cyth V'sug's realm is a stretch of tangled, dripping jungle located in the dark heartwoods of the House of Plants. Here, the trees are weighed down with fungus and sickly yet tenacious parasitic vines, the air is thick with spores best not breathed in and the polluted ground is covered by colorful toxic mushrooms and weedy plants either thorny, carnivorous, more poisonous than the worst poison ivy or all at once. The inhabitants are as pleasant as the flora, consisting of intelligent {{Man Eating Plant}}s, shambling mounds of living compost, fungal {{Parasite Zombie}}s, mandrakes that burst from the soil to ambush travellers, and the like. In the middle of it all sits Cyth V'sug's temple. Called the Jeharlu, this monolithic mass of fungus is a living thing in its own right, one that is constantly extending feelers and tendrils to take root in other worlds or realms of the Pantheon to try to infect them and draw them into itself. Ensuring that the tendrils are consistently cut back, and rooted out when they do take hold, is a job that requires the constant attentions of a dedicated division of minor godlings and divine servants and industrial quantities of herbicides. |
| 255 | * Cyth V'sug is deeply detested by all Law- and Good-aligned deities from his part of the multiverse, and he despises them right back. This goes double for the LawfulGood and LawfulNeutral deities Erastil and Abadar, who in turn were deeply chagrined at seeing the demon lord join them in the Pantheon.%%In-universe |
| 256 | * Due to his unending hatred for demons and his wish to scour the multiverse of their kind ([[BoomerangBigot despite he himself being a demon]]), he is on very poor terms with the House of Pantheon/{{Demons}} and its members, something somewhat mitigated by not all of them being demons in the way he understands the concept. |
| 257 | * He has a complicated relationship with Nurgle. On the one hand, there is some kinship felt between them due to their shared roles as demonic gods of rot, disease, parasites and pollution, and each grudgingly admires the other's skill in crafting parasites and plagues. On the other, besides the usual difficulty in getting chaotic entities to work together, there is also the issue that Nurgle reminds Cyth V'sug of the demons and daemons of his home corner of the multiverse, creatures he absolutely ''hates'', as well as bitter territorial rivalry at the thought of another demon or god controlling something he feels should be his domain alone. On Nurgle's end of things, the jovial father of plagues finds the Prince of the Blasted Heath unpleasantly dour and grim. |
| 258 | * Due to the way he corrupts natural ecosystems into twisted, diseased parodies of themselves when he doesn't consume them outright, Cyth V'sug is considered an enemy by most good-aligned deities of forests and nature, a feeling he wholeheartedly returns. |
| 259 | ** Captain Planet and his allies seek to prevent the destruction his feeding causes to natural ecosystems, while forest deities such as Treebeard, Trevenant and the Lorax detest the near-cancerous mockery they feel he makes of the natural cycles of feeding and growth. |
| 260 | ** Viridi also views him as a foe -- she sees herself as a goddess of nature first and foremost, and the sort of botanical life that Cyth V'sug champions is ''anything'' but natural by any definition of the term. Swamp Thing likewise opposes him -- as the leader of the Green, he doesn't want that abomination to infect his domain. |
| 261 | * [[Pantheon/{{Heroism}} Commander Shepard]], [[Pantheon/HeroicArchetypes Link]] and [[Pantheon/{{Gaming}} Mario]] tend to find themselves uneasy (more so than most others, at least) around Cyth V'sug, as he reminds them of [[VideoGame/MassEffect1 the Thorian]], [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess Diababa]] and Petey Piranha too much for their comfort. |
| 262 | * On the other hand, he is rather fond of the Hall of Pantheon/{{Diseases}} as a whole, as he has no particular grudge against most of its members and quite enjoys experimenting with the interesting maladies and pathogens he can obtain there. |
| 263 | * He has managed to forge a tenuous form of collaboration with Makuta Teridax: as a biological scientist (one of his former duties as a Makuta) with significant experience with ecology-based domination -- having, for instance, created the [[https://biosector01.com/wiki/Morbuzakh Morbuzakh]], a city-sized sapient plant, as part of one of his plots -- Teridax brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise for Cyth V'sug to draw from for his plots, and the treacherous Makuta likewise finds Cyth V'sug's experience with supernatural plagues and parasites to be a wonderful asset for future plans where bioweapons will be needed. Of course, Makuta fully plans to manipulate his erstwhile ally for his own benefit and cast him aside (or posses him, whichever suits) when he's done; Cyth V'sug, a veteran of eons of the Abyss' traitorous, backstabbing politics, expects nothing less, and intends to be the one to wield the knife when the time comes. For now, however, both gods find greater advantage in cooperation and are aware that wanton backstabbing would make them very vulnerable to their myriad other foes, so they're willing to work together. For now... |
| 264 | * He is also on reasonably good terms with the Hag, on the grounds of a shared alignment, nature as {{Botanical Abomination}}s and interest in evil botany. They are both quite skilled at working with foul fungi, herbs and other flora for nefarious and corrupting purposes, and the things they could get up to by pooling their mutual expertise has a fair few gods very worried indeed. |
| 265 | * Can also be found in Pantheon/{{Plants}}. |

| 279 | * Enemies: [[Pantheon/{{Digimon}} All the DigiDestined and good Digimon (and possibly even some bad ones)]], [[Pantheon/CharacterReveals D-Reaper]], Pantheon/GUAGWhiteHats, [[Pantheon/LandAndSeaTravel Captain Nemo]], [[Pantheon/BodyAbsence Captain Ahab]], [[Pantheon/WaterAndMoisture The ABZU Diver]], [[Pantheon/HuntersAndSlayers The Hunter]] |
| 280 | * Interested parties: [[Pantheon/ComedyGenres Eric Cartman]] |
| 281 | * Dagomon is an evil god Digimon thought to have originated as a virus in the electronic instruments aboard ships, confusing their direction and throwing them off course. Dagomon exists in a bleak dimension separate from the Digital World, making its home at the bottom of a sea known as the Dark Ocean, which seems to attract troubled people and is capable of corrupting them into evil. With that said, it's not at all clear what Dagomon's goals are, or if it even has them. |
| 282 | * The Pantheon's first run-in with Dagomon occurred as Captain Nemo was traveling the oceans in his submarine ''Nautilus''. As he moved onto an uncharted area that he couldn't help but remark on the dreariness of, he noticed the instruments in his ship going berserk. When he decided to emerge and opened the hatchet to see his surroundings, he saw a beach and a distant lighthouse that seemed to give off darkness instead of light. It was a sight out of a horror story, in his opinion, and he felt somewhat ill. Then the ''Nautilus'' was suddenly surrounded by shadowy creatures shaped like FishPeople and the Captain, in a haste to just get out of there, only saw another massive shadow with red eyes seemingly fading into view in the distance before he got back in and did his best to get away from it all. But Captain Nemo's brief presence was enough for Dagomon to extend its influence to the Pantheon, somehow even snatching a divine title to cement it. Nemo was dismayed and felt guilty that the ghastly creature was here to stay when the White Hats made the news public. |
| 283 | * Is most famous for having a hand in Ken Ichijouji's corruption and nearly doing something similar to Hikari. Presumably; while the two Digidestined did have disturbing encounters with the Dark Ocean, it's unclear how involved Dagomon was in this, as it never left the background to make its intentions known. It is clear, at any rate, that the Dark Ocean poses a danger. All the [=DigiDestined=] keep a close eye on it and have gotten some of the Royal Knights posted at the entrance to its temple to ensure nobody accidentally enters it. Ken is especially concerned about the possiblity of the Dark Ocean creating other villains like him when he was the Kaiser. |
| 284 | * Dagomon's temple is more like a portal to the Dark Ocean dimension where it still resides. Only other eldritch deities can walk in that place without consequence; there have been plenty of incidents of depressed deities getting pulled in and nearly losing themselves, despite the [=DigiDestined=]'s best efforts. This may because there isn't only one entrance to the place; alternate portals to the Dark Ocean exist in the areas of the Pantheon (especially below sea level) where no one lives and which are rarely traveled. |
| 285 | * The deletion program D-Reaper feeds on despair to gather more power, so the Dark Ocean's influence on people is rather interesting as a study subject. It seems likely that the D-Reaper would like to take over the Dark Ocean so as to take all the negative energy it produces for itself. That would mean defeating Dagomon, of course. However, it seems as if the D-Reaper malfunctions very badly whenever it tries to make an incursion there, owing to the strange nature of the place, so those plans would have to be put on hold as the D-Reaper researches some way to enter the Dark Ocean safely. |
| 286 | ** Dagomon's Lovecraftian nature means it is also warmly welcomed by such pleasant characters as the Lunatic Cultist, a worshipper of Cthulhu who devoted himself to carrying out the Elder One's will, only to summon it with his dying breath. The Cultist seems just as willing to carry out the will of Dagomon, whatever it may be. Conversely, Dagomon has to watch out for The Hunter as a significant threat, as he is well-known for killing many eldritch creatures. |
| 287 | * Dagomon is the Digital World's equivalent to the eldritch beings invented by H.P. Lovecraft. Specifically, its tentacle-profuse appearance is modeled after Cthulhu, while its name and role as an ocean-dwelling god is taken from Father Dagon. It's probably on good terms with the original eldritch creatures, [[BlueAndOrangeMorality whatever "good terms" means for them]]. Its namesake Dagon in particular seems to have a special appreciation for its work with the Dark Ocean and seems willing to help stop those pesky [=DigiDestined=] from interfering. Much the same can be said of the Kraeken, who can occasionally be found on random places of the Dark Ocean to make things difficult for any wayward deities, as well as Ghatanothoa. |
| 288 | * Eric Cartman remembers that time he got to control Cthulhu to do whatever he wanted well. So when he heard about Dagomon, who he still insists is a Chinpokomon despite many corrections, he thought it was just perfect since they are meant to be partnered with. To this day he keeps devising ways to get into the Dark Ocean to convince Dagomon to partner with him. However, it would seem that Dagomon cannot be convinced with the same tactics that worked on Cthulhu. Instead, Cartman seems to get constantly ''kicked out'' of the Dark Ocean when he does manage to get in. Nobody blames Dagomon for this, given what a little shit Cartman is known to be (and Cartman's angry tirades when he gets kicked out are pretty funny). |
| 289 | * Just like what happened to Captain Nemo, other sea travelers are bound to run into Dagomon or the Dark Ocean either by the strength of their negative emotions or through sheer bad luck. Some might do it more intentionally than others, out of thirst for adventure. It was only a matter of time until the notoriously obsessive Captain Ahab found himself there. Rather than do the sensible thing and sail back towards where he came from, he decided it was as good an opportunity as any to try to hunt Dagomon, who had become the subject of so many sailors' nightmares. Last he was seen he had disappeared into the fog and it certainly didn't end well because he awoke in the House of Life and Death. Ahab doesn't seem that fazed by what happened and seems resolved to try again and again (in-between hunting that accursed Moby-Dick, anyway). |
| 290 | ** [[Pantheon/CrimeAndTransgressions Jack Sparrow]] has also ventured into the Dark Ocean in one of his many adventures. In his case he was eager to see whether the place had any treasure or not; considering most people who went there only wanted to get out as soon as possible or succumbed to despair, any potential riches would be ripe for the taking, according to his theory. He fought off quite a few of Dagomon's servants and was smart enough not to stay well away from where the mon itself manifested, but ultimately found nothing resembling treasure... so he took some random rocks back with him anyway, since everything in the Dark Ocean was so gray, there was no way of telling for sure. Lo and behold... the random rocks were just rocks. Jack Sparrow called it a tremendous waste of time. Other deities are just surprised he came out unaffected. |
| 291 | ** Though generally feared and reviled, Dagomon does command respect from the Greyjoys. The Greyjoys are from the Iron Islands, whose population worships a so-called Drowned God, which reputedly resembles Cthulhu and other such tentacled abominations. When an Iron Island ship chances upon the Dark Ocean, the crew's reaction is to pay respects to Dagomon and its servants. Perhaps for this reason, Dagomon refrains from attacking them. Only [[Pantheon/CulturalValues Theon Greyjoy]] doesn't really care for this worship, being more of a Stark, and disturbed by what he's heard about the Dark Ocean. |
| 292 | * At least aquatic animals, such as the aforementioned Moby-Dick, instinctually know to avoid the Dark Ocean. This is a load off the ABZU Diver's mind, who cares a lot for these creatures and would hate to see them suffer in the Dark Ocean. Though, hearing about Dagomon's servants did compel her to go there once, thinking they might be tethered against their will. It was a mistake on her part, as not only were the servants hostile no matter what she did, but being a robot, Dagomon's interference eventually started getting to her, to the point that she had to send the White Hats a distress signal before she broke down completely. She was salvaged and brought back to normal, of course, but she will never try to take on the Dark Ocean by herself again. |

| 312 | * In times past, a great and terrible dragon faced off against Saint George. The legend states he slayed the dragon, but in the multiverse of Ben 10 the dragon is something worse; an octopoid EldritchAbomination who has taken over a hundred universes, and who was merely sealed with his heart removed. Venerated by the Esoterica, Dagon sought to dominate the Earth and its universe. He was a powerful foe for Ben Tennyson and friends, only to have his power and self usurped by [[TheStarscream his supposed servant]] Vilgax, who was eventually defeated once again by Ben. |
| 313 | * Dagon is not the only example of St. George's dragon [[EldritchAbomination being so much worse]]; that'd be the Void Dragon, Mag'ladroth. He was immediately interested in their parallels and was intrigued by it possibly being the Machine God, as it reminds Dagon of how he poses as a savior to the Esoterica. The two have decided to share power for now, considering it better than fighting. |
| 314 | * Dagon is seen with contempt by most of the House of Dragons, being an [[MultiversalConqueror invasive]] EldritchAbomination who once took the form of a dragon. Not that he cares what they think, other than being annoyed at the Dovahkiin's continued attempts to slay him like other dragons. Grima is fine with him, though it's more an appreciation of his vision and wanting someone to consolidate his power. |
| 315 | * Rests in the House of Abominations, interested in the variety of beings there while also being cautious on those more powerful than him. Dagon is confident in his own power, but not to the point of being blinded from potential or known threats. Due to being inspired by the Franchise/CthulhuMythos, Dagon is affable enough with Cthulhu, another octopoid EldritchAbomination. |
| 316 | * He was surprised that Linkara put him on his hit list, however, this comes from how he has also faced an AdaptationalAbomination in the form of Dagon's High Priest, the Entity. Dagon is intrigued by this, though would like to remind the reviewer that he does not suffer self-doubt and he can't pull a TalkingTheMonsterToDeath. Linkara's response? |
| 317 | --> '''[[DeadpanSnarker Linkara]]:''' "I don't expect to do so, [[GenericDoomsdayVillain you're too shallow a villain to have doubt]]. Basically, [[TakeThat you're the worst kind of villain]]. No wonder Vilgax [[HijackingCthulhu stole your power]]." |
| 318 | * Saint George was absolutely livid to learn that his ArchEnemy had ascended to the pantheon, as was the Emperor of Mankind. It's believed that the Emperor [[JuliusBeethovenDaVinci counts Saint George]] among his many past identities. The Esoterica's hope to increase contact with aliens, and their connection with him, further frustrates the xenophobic Imperium. It is worth noting that the Esoterica believe Dagon is a benevolent force, but ignorance can be as deadly as intentional maliciousness. |
| 319 | * Dagon wasn't happy to learn that his old foe was in the Pantheon either, and that he had ascended with Saint Martha. She's a dragonslayer as well, and even tamed the dragon known as the tarasque. He would like to remind her that he is far deadlier than her "pet", and nobody masters him. Martha pointed out [[HijackingCthulhu Vilgax]] just to annoy him. |
| 320 | * A RealityWarper, Dagon turned almost everyone on Earth into a member of the Esoterica. To spread his influence, he wants to establish his cult of the Flame Keeper's Circle in the pantheon, which has inevitably made him a roadblock to YHVH's own ambitions of being a MultiversalConqueror. Dagon seeks control of Zelenin's will for mind controlling more servants. Unalaq, while a DarkShepherd, was more accepting of Dagon as a means of achieving his own goals. As was Vaatu, though it's ultimately an alliance to fulfill their own ambitions and there is little trust between them. |
| 321 | * Desires domination of as much of the multiverse as he can manage, and is not the only one with that ambition. On Dagon's mind are Dormammu, Shuma-Gorath and Nicol Bolas. While Dagon is outclassed by Gorath, he has more of a shot with the other two. He is rivals with the Shadow Monster as well since the Mind Flayer has a desire to shape the world to its vision and desire. |
| 322 | * Its minions are the Lucubra, [[EldritchAbomination eldritch]] in their own right. They can feed on the thoughts of humans, resulting in mind control. And yet these beings are insects to Dagon. As such, he sought to dominate Yuri in order to use his mind control devices and status to spread his own will before entering the world. However, as Yuri [[ItsAllAboutMe only wishes to be supreme himself]], he regards Dagon as competition and refuses to kneel. |
| 323 | * Dagon is power incarnate, however that serves as an AchillesHeel; Vilgax [[HijackingCthulhu absorbed its power and thus itself]]. As such, Dagon steps on eggshells when it comes to any being with the power to absorb energy and power. Either Majin Buu have the opportunity to assimilate him as well. He is wary of Makuta Teridax and Doctor Doom as like Vilgax they have hijacked the power of greater beings. |
| 324 | * Though he was possessed and his power stolen, do not expect Dagon to give any consideration to the Wisps. Far from it; he seeks their Hyper Go-on energy for the same reason as Dr. Eggman-mass mind control. Worryingly Dagon seeks to dominate the wills of the Lake Trio, as since they embody spirit by hijacking them he should be able to control the souls of those from the Pokémon universe. |

| 340 | * Enemies: Pretty much everyone who doesn't want the world to be destroyed. More specifically? '''[[Pantheon/{{Gaming}} Sonic]] and [[Pantheon/BossFightsAToM Dr. Eggman]]''', all other Pantheon/SonicTheHedgehog deities, [[Pantheon/{{Ungulates}} Xerneas]], '''[[Pantheon/NaturePreservers Gaea]], [[Pantheon/{{Nature}} Captain Planet]]''', the Pantheon/NaturePreservers, [[Pantheon/OrderAndChaos Galeem]], [[Pantheon/AntiVillains Eliphas]], [[Pantheon/LightAndBrightness Ezalor]], [[Pantheon/GamingGenresNToZ Sora]], [[Pantheon/{{Nature}} Amaterasu]], [[Pantheon/ExtraterrestrialAbilities Bab]][[Pantheon/WitchesAndWizards idi]], '''[[Pantheon/ElementalPairings The Weather Trio]]''' |
| 341 | * A primordial force of destruction and darkness, who hibernates millions of years to wake and destroy the world and Light Gaia to recreate it in an eternal cycle. It was recently found out that this being was currently underneath the entire Pantheon, resting. As soon as everyone found out, it proceeded to awaken and began destroying everything in its path. It was later defeated by a combination of Super Sonic. |
| 342 | * Dark Gaia's primal destruction and being barely sentient status makes it an enemy of most of the Pantheon, but a popular [[TheBrute brute]] for the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfDestruction. The Lich has a noticeable understanding of Dark Gaia, as its almost AlmightyIdiot status of discord and destruction makes it similar to his teacher, GOLB. He believes that it is a lost spawn of GOLB, having manifested itself in the Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog universe. |
| 343 | * Found itself an ally with Giygas, as much as such entities can even ''have'' allies. They are corruptive forces of destruction, [[AlmightyIdiot topped off with being practically mindless]]. There was a similar opinion on Lavos, who also has the bonus of being buried deep in the Earth for eons like Dark Gaia. And it found a similar being of natural, bestial destruction in the form of the Firebird. |
| 344 | * The Weather Trio absolutely hate this thing. They are rather chaotic and primal forces of the Earth and nature, with Kyogre and Groudon's squabbling having risked the stability of the whole world. But [[EveryoneHasStandards they would never try to destroy the world]], and consider Dark Gaia an aberration. As Rayquaza's entire deal is preventing such forces of chaotic nature from ruining the world, it immediately confronted the beast. |
| 345 | * Some parts of the pantheon and even some Quasdeities have been mutated by Dark Gaia, and most are trying to reverse what it has done. It has shown the ability to possess beings through its army, which has caused trouble through the pantheon. Its dark presence brings anger, sorrow and despair. [[Pantheon/{{Depravity}} Emperor Palpatine]] was very interested in this, believing Dark Gaia could be used as a means of empowering his connection to the Dark Side and influence over other people. |
| 346 | * Gaea HATES Dark Gaia. Hates that such a monstrous force of death and destruction would have "Gaia" in its name. Hates that such a monstrous force of death and destruction slumbers within the bowels of the planet she embodies. She honestly believed [[VideoGame/AsurasWrath Gohma Vlitra]] had reincarnated itself back into the pantheon. Naturally, such a force is a dire foe of the Nature Preservers. |
| 347 | * It felt a commonality with Cthulhu as they are both [[TimeAbyss ancient]], [[EldritchAbomination unfathomable beings]] who will awake to bring Armageddon when the time comes. That commonality was stronger with Majin Buu, a sealed away evil with the explicit desire [[OmnicidalManiac of the destruction of everything]] [[EvilIsNotAToy and fools who think they can control the power they unlock]]. Such as Babidi, who clearly didn't learn his lesson when he tried the same trick a second time. |
| 348 | * A foe of all who side with the light, due to its nature as a monstrous force of darkness. Particularly powerful forces of light and order such as Amaterasu, Eliphas and Ezalor prove rather troubling for it. Werewolves are a bit more curious about Dark Gaia, given how its influence turned Sonic into the Werehog. For that matter, those who prove DarkIsNotEvil are not fond of it. Even most [[DarkIsEvil evil deities]] like [[Pantheon/DarknessAndShadow Chernabog]] don't see much usefulness in the being. While [[Pantheon/OrderAndChaos Don Thousand]] has some appreciation for its dark, chaotic nature and how it spreads this, the creature is too mindless and focused on being an OmnicidalManiac for him to side with. |
| 349 | * This primal being sensed much of itself and its eternal rival Light Gaia within the heated rivalry of Galeem and Dharkon. Celestial beings of light and darkness, practically eternal and cosmic forces of destruction and rebirth. However, Galeem [[LightIsNotGood is just as malevolent as Dharkon]]. Not that Galeem liked Dark Gaia, seeing it as like its greatest foe. Dharkon found Dark Gaia a much appealing ally in their shared desire for destruction. |
| 350 | * The only Sonic deity that seems to tolerate Dark Gaia is Mephiles the Dark. Unsurprising, given he is a being of darkness [[spoiler:though originally [[LightIsNotGood light]]]] whose goals are the end of the world. With Iblis not present in the Pantheon, Dark Gaia serves as effective muscle for Mephiles. There has been discussions about who is stronger: [[spoiler:Dark Gaia or Solaris/Mephiles' original form. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DMN_qw51uQ It was determined Dark Gaia beats Solaris in raw strength, would lose due to Solaris' extradimensional nature]]]]. |

| 371 | * A distress signal is received from a starship far away, prompting a rescue crew to determine what happened to that ship and if there's any survivors. Their search-and-rescue operation would end up becoming a horrific experience for everyone involved as they learn what happened to the Event Horizon. The ship has an experimental gravity drive that would allow for faster-than-light travel, but in the process, ended up sending the Event Horizon's crew into another dimension that's very similar to Hell, if not that place outright, where everyone has gone mad and killed each other in the ensuing calamity. The ship itself already looks very unnatural, with its twisted exterior housing a lot of spikes and some flesh throughout, and it being possessed by some sort of entity from the dimension it went through (and psychologically tormenting anyone inside the ship) more than demonstrates just how much of a nightmare being inside (let alone being involved with) that ship is. |
| 372 | * News of a distress signal coming from somewhere in space reached the various space explorers of the Pantheon, who wanted to know what is going on and if there's anything worthwhile there, with the SCP Foundation also getting involved with the operation. Everyone involved eventually found a giant, strange-looking ship, which was believed to be where the signal was coming from. Members of the rescue team, including some personnel from the SCP Foundation, went inside the ship to investigate and see if anyone was there. As the operation continued, it became clear that something was horribly wrong as information got out, with members being driven insane and turning against each other whilst still inside that ship. It got to a point where the people trapped inside the ship needed to be rescued, which ended up being really difficult and few people inside the ship got killed during the madness. The ship was later fired upon in an attempt to destroy it, with part of it getting destroyed and the other part getting sent to another dimension. While recovering from the ordeal, the members of the rescue op were wondering if there was someone insane enough to try and use the ship for their own goals. Sometime later, the ship returned and was fully rebuilt, but is still far within the starry skies of the Pantheon. |
| 373 | * Issac Clarke, who has had experience in exploring abandoned haunted ships and was involved with exploring the Event Horizon when the Pantheon noticed it, was highly disturbed with what the ship can do to anyone that sets foot in it. It's one thing to scour through a ship and deal with a bunch of horrifying monsters inside of it, but it's another when that ship is more than capable of preying on psychological problems to drive people into madness. It doesn't help that Issac has had more than his share of putting up with hallucinations throughout his journeys. Issac's resolve and determination make him valuable when it comes to handling problems related the Event Horizon, mainly rescuing anyone that's somehow trapped inside. |
| 374 | * Commander Shepard and the rest of his crewmates of the ''SSV Normandy'' all find the Event Horizon to be unlike many of their space adventures in the worst way possible. While they had to deal with a lot of political intrigue in addition to fighting multiple alien threats, an adventure inside the Event Horizon is more akin to psychological horror than what most space travellers normally go through. Given the number of issues Shepard and crew have suffered throughout their own adventures, going through a ship that can exploit their worst fears to the point of potentially turning against each other is something that they don't want to go through. |
| 375 | * It wasn't just the ''SSV Normandy'' crew when it came to a group of space teams wanting to avoid the ship. The Guardians of the Galaxy and the Outlaw Star crew have also gotten word of the Event Horizon's attributes and origins and both teams have made it clear that they don't want to get involved with the ship as much as possible. It's true that both teams are no stranger to encountering plenty of unusual threats across the cosmos, attempting to explore the Event Horizon for whatever purpose is something that's bound to be much darker than any of either team's previous adventures. |
| 376 | * Those who have suffered extensive mental trauma (especially those that were victims of MindRape) hold the spaceship in utter contempt for using anyone's psychological weaknesses against each other. Simon Henriksson is among those who avoid the ship no matter what as he's already gone through a horrible adventure involving his mind. He really does not want a repeat of that, especially given how the ship is more than capable of causing him to not only have an even worse repeat of what he went through, but make a potential confrontation against Book Simon occur even if the latter is actually somewhere else in the Pantheon. |
| 377 | * While the members of the different versions of the ''USS Enterprise'' already hate the Event Horizon as it is, Picard seems to have a stronger level of hate against it. Picard is aware of what flaws he has and the kind of adventures he's gone through, including one instance where someone attempted to break him psychologically by trying to tell him there's a certain number of lights present. It isn't much of a surprise that whatever kinds of torture the Event Horizon can concoct will be far more intense and worse than just seeing some number of lights and forcibly being told an incorrect number of such. |
| 378 | * Havik took plenty of interest in the ship since he originally hailed from the Chaosrealm, a place that served as his universe's equivalent of hell and possibly worse than that. While there hasn't been a clear consensus as to where the Event Horizon ended up, it's largely agreed on that it ended up a hellish place and Havik and a few others believe that it ended up in the Chaosrealm. He has even considered using the ship as part of his plans to spread chaos, causing many to be worried about what could happen if he manages to pull it off. |
| 379 | * Many space explorers were horrified that Pinbacker was interested in the ship to the point of wanting to use it to further his goals. Pinbacker saw quite a bit of himself in the ship's creator, Dr. William Weir, in that they were once involved with a space mission that they ended up sabotaging. He also sees the Event Horizon as a perfect opportunity for humans to witness firsthand that their efforts are doomed to fail once they see their worst fears come to life. Pinbacker sometimes roams throughout the Event Horizon, hoping to find someone unlucky and add to whatever torment they're going through inside. |
| 380 | * The ship's video log of what happened to its crew members has been dubbed "Bloody Orgy" due to the gruesome and sexually disturbing fates that befell those involved. Those who have watched it to get a better idea of how dangerous the ship is and consider it to be a sickening sight. One of the very few who liked what they witnessed from that log was Pinhead, who saw the "Bloody Orgy" as comparable or even greater to what the Cenobites have in mind when it comes to their twisted pleasures. The extent of how much Pinhead wants to use the spaceship and to what end is a troubling question for those that think about it. |
| 381 | * One idea tossed around by some to try and destroy the ship involves sending The Doom Slayer inside and shoot everything in sight. Given how often he has gone through different hellish settings and thoroughly hates anything of that sort, some have hoped that the sheer power and amount of firearms he was will be enough to destroy the ship from the inside. People are aware of the risks involved in sending a lone soldier inside a spaceship that can break them psychologically, but The Doom Slayer's track record is enough to put much of these fears to rest, if possible. |
| 382 | * Jonathan Crane, looking for more in his ongoing research of fear, wanted to study the Event Horizon and its attributes regarding fear and torment in more detail after learning about it. Although Crane didn't really have the time to go into space, he managed to get some information about the Event Horizon via video footage and eyewitness accounts from those that dare traversed the spaceship. Scarecrow found the idea of a large enclosed space that preys on someone's psychological fears to be fascinating and has even considered the possibility of having something similar established in the Pantheon. Many don't want to know whether or not unleashing Scarecrow's fear gas inside a place like the Event Horizon will amplify someone's psychological torment and even extend how long they're suffering from it. |
| 383 | * If there's one group of deities that wants the Event Horizon destroyed no matter what, it would be The Imperium of Man, especially when it comes to The Immortal God-Emperor of Mankind. To some extent, it's also personal for them since The Imperium attempted to use FTL travel by sending ships to the Sol System in an effort to colonize it, an effort that would end up going horribly wrong after learning about a domain called Immaterium, home of the Chaos Gods. Based on the appearance and layout of the ship and the description of the beyond-hellish place of pure chaos that warped it into a derelict abomination, many believe the Event Horizon was in fact [[http://cdn.obsidianportal.com/assets/101812/DerelictShip.jpg a progenitor]] to what became [[http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/2/28/BFGRetribution.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100605183701 Imperial]] [[http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/c/ca/Z_graves_01.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20111115192048 warship]] [[https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/7d/b0/93/7db0939a17dad0768126b06a1dce3a66.jpg standard]] -- as well as one of the first to fall victim to Immaterium. Even if this isn't exactly correct, wherever it ended up and became what it is now is just similar enough to Immaterium that the Imperium have put plenty of effort in destroying the ship. This sentiment is only bolstered by the fact that the Chaos Gods learned about the ship and see it as an effective tool in spreading their kind of corruption (or something similar to it). |
| 384 | * The Unbidden are more than curious about the Event Horizon, given how they are a race of hostile extradimensional invaders that entered the picture via Jump Drive technology and that the ship had an experimental jump drive that sent it to a nightmarish dimension and became what it is. Given that they are interested in nothing more than consuming any sapient life that dares cross them, they see the Event Horizon as a potential tool in weakening the will of their victims before consuming them. They also see it as useful in helping them strengthen a potential friendship with the Chaos Gods, the four of which are already interested in the ship and its origins. |
| 385 | * AM, an aggressive supercomputer, learned about the extent of the psychological torture that the Event Horizon is capable of and found the inner working of the spaceship to be yet another potential spot for him to extend his brand of unending punishment to those that he comes across. AM being capable of torturing his victims for prolonged periods of time, combined with the hellish nightmares that one can witness inside the Event Horizon make for an unfathomable combination and a nightmare that just might be impossible to get out of. |

| 407 | * A common trait of Lovecraftian beings is that their visage is so alien, so abominable that it hurts, even drives people mad or flat out kills them. Ghatanothoa might inflict the worst fate; those who see it are petrified, or more accurately ''mummified'' and left immobile. However the brain is preserved indefinitely, [[AndIMustScream fully aware but unable to do anything]] unless someone else destroys it. Even a perfect replica will have the same effect. |
| 408 | * Similar to Cthulhu, and some thought that [[DecompositeCharacter "Ghatanothoa" was just another name]]. Further research reveals it to be the child of Cthulhu, and lives within a mountain. It is worshipped by some humans, and its dragon servant, the Lloigor. Its desire to be free has caught it the attention and understanding of Typhon, who also seeks to break from a mountain and [[EldritchAbomination is already so monstrous]] as to be immune from Ghatanotha's BrownNote. |
| 409 | * Ghatanothoa sought its follower, the Lloigor, by wandering into the House of Pantheon/DraconicBeings. It was swiftly banned afterwards for causing mummification among the dragon deities there. Fortunately there were experts in the House of Pantheon/HealthAndDiseases to reverse the process, but it was a painful one and they hope nothing like it again happens. |
| 410 | * Since the visage is what causes the FateWorseThanDeath, any blind deities are safe from it. The creature itself, on the other hand? Best no blind deity under the Intermediate rank encounter it. Remember to keep a blindfold on if one has to meet it. Though not blind, Fuminori's distorted perception allows him to visualize Ghatanothoa as something pleasing to the eyes and avoid the harmful effects looking at it would normally cause. |
| 411 | * Those who are already mummies are also immune to Ghatanothoa's BrownNote properties. This serves an advantage for Anakaris, who's got nothing holding him back [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu from personally opening a can of whoop-ass on the Great Old One]] and make sure it will never threaten his kingdom. |
| 412 | * Because of the AndIMustScream looking at the thing inflicts, those who have suffered similar fates absolutely hate it. Imhotep's horrific punishment leads him to hate Ghatanothoa, but due to his mummified state is immune from its harmful effects. On the flip slide, AM(who as a machine can't be mummified) was overjoyed at the ascension of Ghatanothoa due to the absolute torment the BrownNoteBeing could deliver. As part of his larger sadistic games, AM helps Ghatanothoa be mobile in the pantheon. |
| 413 | * As mentioned, a perfect replica of its visage will have the same terrible effect. Due to this no photos are permitted to be taken, and anyone in the House of Pantheon/{{Craft}} who tries to make a sculpture of Ghatanothoa will be put under house arrest. Babidi once made the idiotic attempt to Majin Ghatanothoa. Assuming such a thing is even possible [[EldritchAbomination with it]] was bad enough, but thinking he could bypass it through a crystal ball [[AssholeVictim led to a well-deserved]] FateWorseThanDeath. |
| 414 | * The SCP Foundation were swift in their decision to contain Ghatanothoa. Much to its displeasure, it found they were quite up to the task and have contained far worse than it. Tests were made to determine how it would affect other [=SCPs=]. SCP-096 was mummified, but ''not'' paralyzed and continued to wail on the Great Old One for looking at its face. They aren't going to test it on SCP-682 because of this; 682 is either immune or would be able to move around as a mummy. |
| 415 | * SCP-173 wasn't affected due to its biology, and actually found Ghatanothoa a good ally due to [[TakenForGranite its effect]] complimenting its neck-snapping and preventing people from keeping an eye on it. The Weeping Angels were similarly unaffected, but were interested in the opportunities its mummification could give and make people easy packages to send back in time and feed off that life force. However it's an interest, and they don't like Ghatanothoa anymore than everyone else. |
| 416 | * Comparable to Medusa, due to being a monster that paralyzes those that see it. However it's much more dangerous since you can't just use mirrors or reflections to "see" and avoid the BrownNote. They're disturbed by the creature as much as anyone and don't want it associating with them. Poseidon knows the association, and doesn't want a Medusa-like creature such as Ghatanothoa to get any followers. |
| 417 | * Despite it's horrific visage, Ghatanothoa is like most Great Old Ones [[BlueAndOrangeMorality and morality usually doesn't exactly apply to it]]. "Usually" being the key word. As [[Series/UltramanTiga Gatanozoa]], it is the Master of Darkness who destroyed an ancient civilization, and seeks to do the same to humanity. All while [[HopeCrusher wishing to spread total despair]]. To spread its darkness in this form, it has allied with Chernabog. It is fond of Junko Enoshima's desire to spread despair to the world as well. However, it sometimes takes nicer forms. [[Literature/NyarukoCrawlingWithLove One of them being a little girl]]. |

| 448 | * You are on a ship that was tasked with delivering a princess to a distant land to secure a marriage alliance between two nations and prevent further war. Along the way said vessel is attacked by marauders during a dark and stormy night. After cutting a path through the deck in the darkness you come face-to-face with a daunting monster of indeterminate origin whose form is illuminated only by the [[DramaticThunder occasional strike of lightning]]. Fight or fall, the ship is eventually destroyed by the storm and you become little more than flotsam. And yet, you survive, as by some miracle you manage to wash ashore alive and well. Now you find yourself on a mysterious island and the princess is nowhere to be seen. The gigantic beast that was fought in that storm was a Kraekan, seen as ancient demons of the sea that plagued mankind since they first set sail out into the vast oceans, and alongside those who lost their lives at sea there's more of their kind lurking within the depths of [[EldritchLocation the Nameless Island]]. |
| 449 | * They were rumored to have been present in the Pantheon for quite a while now, what with their nature as shapeshifters and how easy it is to lump them up with other monsters and aberrations of their caliber. Monsters and demons of the sea are, after all, not an uncommon sight in the Pantheon. Even as some lesser Kraeken were killed and their corpses examined by hunters they were for the most part beneath the gods' notice. Eventually, reports of ships being actively sunk within the waters encompassing the House of Pantheon/{{Nature}}, often by suddenly terrible weather, while the likes of Aquaman and even Namor have expressed their concerns over suspicious activity within said seas. Then one day, heralded by a violent tempest, their kind arrived en masse into the Pantheon's seas and coasts, terrorizing anyone unfortunate to come across their path. Among those that were hit the hardest included encampments belonging to the GUAE, GUAL, and GUAC due to being the first to suffer the first wave of attacks. Through a combination of effort spearheaded by Aquaman and Namor and the local authorities these Kraeken were pushed back out into the sea. As always, though, itt would hardly be the last they would heard of them. |
| 450 | * You may notice that many Kraeken are all terrestrial despite being their strong associations with the ocean. Indeed, [[LampshadeHanging it has not gone unnoticed]] but one supposes it comes with being shapeshifters. When it comes to Kraekan, they can be divided into two categories: Major and Lesser, and the distinction between the two seems to come down to size and power in a given form. Lesser Kraekan that are known to the world include the excrement feasting Retchfeeders, the sadistic and airborne Spear Imps, Vexing Brats (and by extension Fetal Brats), ChestMonster Mimkus, and rock-possessing and golem-like Gravewalkers. As for Major Kraekan... |
| 451 | ** The Unspeakable Deep is a hulking monstrosity. It is a Kraekan at its most common form which shows in the simplicity of its attacks, simply using its sheer bulk to dictate the outcome of battle. These kinds of creatures used to have a common name but fear regarding in [[SpeakOfTheDevil accidentally summoning it]] lead to its moniker of the Unspeakable Deep, or simply the Deep. Its [[WarmUpBoss role]] is reminiscent of the demon known as [[VideoGame/DemonsSouls Vanguard]], though its appearance is a dead-ringer for Cthulhu or at the very least his spawn. The Sleeper of R'lyeh has kept in touch with them and the rest of the sea demons. |
| 452 | ** The False Jester is as its title implies: A monstrous imposter of the real jester living on the Nameless Island. As the madman contains the key to venture further into the mysterious island, this Kraekan crafted a form based on him to ensnare and murder those foolish enough to trust it and get close enough for the kill of its rapier. Within the Pantheon's halls and fields the False Jester has ever so slightly adjusted its appearance to resemble other court fools, such as Rubella. Not a flattering imitation, all things considered. |
| 453 | ** A brutish troll covered in urchin spines in appearance, the Kraekan Cyclops is everything you'd expect out of a monster like it. Its axe is called Headtaker, but its sheer size and use in its hands shows it will be taking more than just heads off shoulders. And speaking of its axe, its mere creation tells a story about what's really going on the Cyclops' head, [[ItCanThink being more than just a brutish predator]]. The implications are also raised to other members of its kind. |
| 454 | ** The Kraekan Wyrm styles its shape off the archetypal dragon of yore that once lived in the northern mountains and thought to be hunted to extinction for their valuable materials. Yet as this creature proves they live on in some way. It could just be a simple pretending, given their variable form, but perhaps Kraekan as a whole are actually descendants of these once mighty beasts, or at the very least some next line of successors. In any case, it's as deadly as the myths say they are. |
| 455 | ** Dwelling within Mal's Floating Castle is Murdiella Mal, Queen of the Moonless Sky. Insectoid in shape and form, she exists in and out of the natural plane and the one belonging to celestial beings. Thus, her tendrils allow her to manipulate and control the very fabric of [[BackgroundMagicField Fire and Sky]], often manifesting as [[LightIsNotGood holy magic]]. Her existence is anomalous in that she's the only one of her kind to not drop any salt upon her defeat, suggesting more divine origins. This in turn creates some implications between both Kraekan-kind and gods. |
| 456 | ** For as long as men discovered how to sail beyond the safety of their coasts Kraekan Dragon Skourzh has always been a thorn at their side as with the rest of its kind. Dubbed the Lord of Storms, with a trident in hand this colossal draconic monster manipulates the weather to form calamitous tempests that has claimed the lives of innumerable men and women. Those that survive both the weather and its brethren, clinging to whatever is left of their ship, inevitably wash ashore on the Nameless Island to be its ruler's playthings. Its unknown if they and the Kraekan are ever allies, but it is certain they benefit from each other's existence and remain a plague upon mankind. Though bearing similarities with [[VideoGame/DarkSouls Seath the Scaleless]], the Greek God Poseidon notes the similarities shared with him. While their world's sea god was usurped by forces unknown and later forgotten, Poseidon has no intention of sharing that god's fate. |
| 457 | * As a scourge of the sea, they were bound to come into contact with the Pantheon's other sea monsters. Most of the time it's a generally hostile relationship, presumably as a result of them considering much of the seas as their own territory and tendency to bully those out of them should they try and fight back. Even ones as large as Liopleurodon, Moby Dick, the Meg, and Monstro are fair game, though this really only applies to the Major Kraeken. The only exception to this is the original Kraken, though not many deities can think of a explanation as to why besides being named after it. Such a truth, like the Unspeakable Deep's real name, is lost to the deep, dark sea. |
| 458 | ** When concerning other such terrors, they're willing to be easier to work with though more often than not calling them "allies" is a bit misleading. They're willing to go along with some of Davy Jones and the Deep Sea King's escapades, though they don't necessarily follow them. It seems as though the only ones who are successfully in getting them to properly be apart of their forces are the Old Gods. It might help that in addition to the clout that they have they also command the [[{{Cthulhumanoid}} Faceless Ones]] who are also tied to the sea and have many different forms as well. |
| 459 | * As one can imagine they're quite an unpopular bunch. Barring those native to the oceans, seafarers have also come under fire by the Kraeken. Pirates aside, Captain Ahab has had his fair shares of unlucky encounters with these aquatic monsters in his ceaseless vengeance against Moby Dick. Even Captain Nemo, who travels under the sea by submarine, has been assailed by the Kraeken. It doesn't help that Lunatic Cultist, an agent of Cthulhu, has a hand in directing their attacks. |
| 460 | * The Abyssal Fleet have notably managed to get the Kraeken on the same wavelength. Perhaps they were able to get across the message of overlapping goals? This naturally alarmed the Shipgirls, especially since many of them have quite the close encounters with the various Major Kraekan due to them utilizing their ability to travel from the sea to the Nameless Island and back to full effect by appearing out of nowhere. Atlanta, for instance, was preoccupied with shooting down the Kraekan Wyrm, but was soon forced to turn back against Murdiella Mal's [[DeathFromAbove shower of light magic]]. Their other allies such as Enterprise, O'Bannon, Tashkent, and Black Cat Mantaray 5-4 have also assisted them against the sea demons whenever they could. |
| 461 | * While his peers in the House of Pantheon/WaterAndMoisture shun these vile beasts, Rain sees them in a more different light. Don't get the Edenian Prince wrong, they're still creatures to be sure, but one that can be useful in his plans of acquiring more power for himself. He believes they can be controlled, and the key of doing so lies with the manipulation of water in some way, a field in which he's already quite adept at. [[KillItWithWater Fatally so]]. To give the prince in purple some credit, it's not as an insane plan as one might think. Tam In, a prince within the southern nation of Kulka'as, managed to take control of Retchfeeders by sealing their heads within clay masks. Now called Clay Hybrids, they take to a less malevolent (and disgusting) role within the Ziggurat of Dust. |
| 462 | ** [[Pantheon/ExtrovertFlaws The Ancestor]] has also taken note of the various Kraeken. His pursuits took him into the Cove where he meddled with the likes of the fishfolk that made the place their home, usually when the coin in his coffers ran dry. An infamous tale involved such a deal when he sold of a village lass who was infatuated with him to the lurkers who in the present became the Siren, the Pelagic fish-men's queen... and slave. He also seems to at least be aware of a connection between the Kraeken and a much more sinister power at work, and their purpose beyond just indiscriminately attacking those at sea. |
| 463 | * Seasoned in the hunting of monsters, even as ones that dip straight into the world of bizarre, the Hunter and Ludwig do not take kindly to the Kraeken's presence in the Pantheon. Strong as they are, they are able to take on the many of the Kraeken, even the major ones, though quelling the entirety of their numbers by themselves is of a different matter. While the Pantheon can't seem to truly shake off these sodden bugbears there is still a good a good amount of effort that works toward it, and one can definitely be sure to see the two Yharnam hunters at the forefront. |

| 476 | * On speaking terms with: [[Pantheon/PlainNeutral Izanami (Persona)]] |
| 477 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork with: [[Pantheon/{{Otherness}} The SCP Foundation]] |
| 478 | * Enemies: [[Pantheon/CthulhuMythos The Outer Gods and Great Old Ones]], ''especially'' Cthulhu (his EvilTwin) and [[Pantheon/ExtraterrestrialBehaviour Ithaqua]], malevolent [[EldritchAbomination cosmic horrors]] like the Old Gods, Dagon and Dark Gaia, [[Pantheon/ComedyGenres Eric Cartman]], [[Pantheon/ExtraterrestrialBehaviour Amon(Starcraft), SCP-682]], [[Pantheon/FamilyAndRelatives Scar (The Lion King)]], [[Pantheon/VillainousFailure Angra Mainyu]] |
| 479 | * Pities: [[Pantheon/{{Locations}} Abigail Williams (Fate/Grand Order)]] |
| 480 | * Most beings in the Franchise/CthulhuMythos [[BlueAndOrangeMorality find human morality irrelevant]], and can often trample over mankind like one would unwittingly step on an anthill. Still, some have interest in the proverbial ants, but Kthanid is unique in being a benevolent cosmic being. Leader of the Elder Gods, he is responsible for many of the mythos being sealed away and is a guiding force for man. All this in spite of being as much of an EldritchAbomination as Cthulhu. |
| 481 | * Said to be as good as Cthulhu is evil. Well, at least as humans see Cthulhu. Kthanid and Cthulhu are twins, [[CainAndAbel and do not like each other]]. Still, it is worth noting that the EvilTwin isn't always a threat to mankind, [[VideoGame/CthulhuSavesTheWorld having saved the world]] even if [[NominalHero it was for his own personal reasons]]. The two still don't get along, mainly because Kthanid is consistently benevolent. He tends to relax by conversing with another friendly cosmic being and former holder of his pantheonic title, Prismo. |
| 482 | * Because of how he differs as the WhiteSheep of the Cthulhu Mythos, he relates to Kaworu Nagisa, who is an Angel that ultimately sides with humanity instead of competing with them. The Doctor, ever the rebel against Time Lord society, could understand where Kthanid was coming from. Granted the Time Lords aren't evil(mostly), but they get each other and how they feel. In stark contrast, Kthanid despises the depths of evil Amon goes to in complete contrast to the rest of his race. |
| 483 | * Eric Cartman assumed that Kenny wanted to get back at him over the whole "[[Recap/SouthParkTheCoonAndFriendsTrilogy Coon and Friends]]" incident and steal Cthulhu's loyalty to fight him. Kthanid informed Cartman that he's Cthulhu's ''twin'', they just look the same except for his SupernaturalGoldEyes. However, as Cthulhu's sworn enemy, he opposes Cartman and how he directed Cthulhu to get rid of people who he's annoyed at. Since Kenny's immortality somehow involves the Cult of Cthulhu, Kthanid wishes to help Kenny find the truth of his condition and cure it. |
| 484 | * His opposition to Cthulhu led him to learn about Dagon, who Kthanid took an immediate disliking to due to his desire for domination and control. Kthanid has also learned of a number of twins in the position of representing good and evil, siding with the good against the evil and relating to them. He seems upset that Chip hasn't found a niche in the Trope Pantheon since he would help fight off against Dark Gaia's destructive ambitions. |
| 485 | * Some Lovecraftian fans [[BrokenBase consider Kthanid controversial]] for being a hero in a series around BlueAndOrangeMorality. Kthanid informed them that they accept beings like [[Pantheon/UnorthodoxCombat Nyarlathotep]] and [[Pantheon/NegativeReaction the Defiler]] who follow conventional morality(just being evil), so why can't a traditionally good being exist? For what it's worthy, the Elder Gods he leads have alien morality, but they're just more helpful compared to the Great Old Ones and Outer Gods. |
| 486 | * Loathes the Great Old Ones for them slaying his family while he lay sleeping. [[spoiler:He relates to Toriel for losing her son]]. Given this tragedy and his antagonism towards his brother Cthulhu, Kthanid has sided with Simba and Mufasa. Also opposes the Outer Gods, lending Kthanid's pity to Abigail Williams for being the host of Yog-Sothoth(or as she knows it, Sut-Typhon) |
| 487 | * Wasn't happy to learn that a number of malevolent eldritch beings had already ascended, especially his brother and Ithaqua. The Old Ones remind him of many of his Great Old One and Outer God foes. Unsurprisingly SCP-682 found him "disgusting", though he has similar thoughts on the Great Old Ones. Kthanid feels he needs to chill out and let go of his hatred of humanity. |
| 488 | * Kthanid was pleased to learn of more benevolent eldritch beings. Amara was above his weight class and used to be villainous, but had a HeelFaceTurn and Kthanid is free to converse with her. Kthanid was less certain of what to think of Izanami, [[BlueAndOrangeMorality who has a weaker grasp on human morals]], but she has a general interest in what humans want even if it's misguided so Kthanid seems accepting of her. Kthanid is also on good terms with Alcor, another cosmic being who wants to help humans instead of hinder them. |
| 489 | * Set up numerous means of protection against the Great Old Ones for humanity to eventually use. In this way, he is a similar benevolent precursor to the Chozo. Despite sealing away many of the Great Old Ones, however, Kthanid is a lot more conflicted on the SCP Foundation. Yes, they are a major help against Kthanid's enemies. However, he questions many of their actions as ethically dubious and is concerned that their sealing of the anomalous might involve allies of his own. For now, however, the two are on good terms. |

| 506 | * Opposes: [[Pantheon/DivineRoles Eru Ilúvatar himself]]. |
| 507 | * Opposed by: Solar and lunar-based deities. |
| 508 | * The Spider of Night, Ungoliant is the mother of Shelob, and possibly the first spider of Arda. During Melkor's conquest in the First Age, he'd come across the GiantSpider and found a potential ally in [[AGodAmI his attempted apotheosis]]. The two would attack the Two Trees and the Spider of Night created Unlight to trouble the Eldar and Valar. However her hunger for light [[TheStarscream made her betray her boss]] and frighten him, eventually fleeing to parts unknown. |
| 509 | * When arriving in the pantheon, Ungoliant's natural instinct to get back at her boss was to join the Grand United Alliance of Good as a TokenEvilTeammate. As time passed, the [[BlackAndWhiteMorality good vs evil alliances]] saw the rise of the law vs order alliances, and later the Grand United Alliance of Destruction. Intrigued by the darkness of Nekron, she jumped ship and moved to the GUAD to help with her endless hunger. |
| 510 | * No-one's quite sure what happened to her after leaving Melkor's employ. Some say that in a desperate need to sate her eternal hunger, [[{{Autocannibalism}} she devoured herself]]. As it turns out, [[Fanfic/TheServantsOfUngoliant she'd move to the South and rule Morenore]]. |
| 511 | * Ascended by entering the House of Beasts and attempting to eat everything inside, and was only stopped by Steve Irwin, who reluctantly permitted her to roam free in the House, so long as she restricted her [[HorrorHunger feeding]] to the Tyranids, the Wig-wigs and the life forms in the Catachan Devil. Her [[AnimalisticAbomination main claim to fame]] earned her a spot in the [[Pantheon/{{Otherness}} House of Otherness]] as well, although the much more powerful entities surrounding her keep her in line there. |
| 512 | * Later on, it was decided that she was best off being the goddess of [[AuthorPhobia author phobias]]. Her author, J.R.R Tolkien, was very arachnophobic and personified the night and terror in her and her many descendants. Ungoliant was intrigued by the House of Fear and found the other beasts and abominations to be either disinteresting or troublesome, so saw this as a new opportunity. |
| 513 | * It should be noted that J.R.R. Tolkien's phobia exists for a good reason; he almost died in his youth from being bitten by a venomous spider. As such, Ungoliant may be the only deity who ''frightens'' her author, something [[AGodAmI Melkor]] finds rather cathartic. Still, Tolkien's the one with a bunch of bug spray so he'll probably have the last laugh. |
| 514 | * No-one is quite sure where she came from, [[EldritchAbomination being inexplicable to almost all]]. Most Valar state she was a Maiar who was corrupted by Melkor, [[GoneHorriblyRight but became a rival in response]]. Others claim she is an evil separate of Melkor, coming from [[VoidBetweenTheWorlds the outer Darkness]]. [[FlipFlopOfGod Not even Tolkien is sure]], and Eru isn't talking. With evil [[OutsideContextProblem outside Melkor's scope]] like [[OmnicidalManiac Nekron]] and [[GodIsEvil YHVH]], it's probably the latter. |
| 515 | * Nekron and [[Pantheon/LocationsAndSettings the Chaos King]] consider her a being like themselves, and welcomed her to the GUAD. She is an entity of absolute darkness who hungers after the light, which works in his favor to destroy all life and The Entity. She'll remind him, however, she has no interest in his [[OmnicidalManiac apocalyptic endgame]] and is only sticking around for the promised food. |
| 516 | * For now, she has chosen Father over Melkor in her quests. Having heard [[CapturedSuperEntity he devoured the Truth]], she finds him rather intriguing. |
| 517 | * Unique to her, Ungoliant is capable of weaving Unlight. This strange weapon of darkness can be used as a cloak, swallowing all light nearby. Even Valar and Overdeities can have trouble with the stuff, and most light-based deities are trying to figure a counter-measure for it. |
| 518 | * She was almost immediately on bad terms with Vulcan. The Spider of Night believes him to be like the blacksmith Valar, Tulkas, whom ran in to her during her tenure with Melkor. Both Tulkas and Vulcan agree she is an abomination they must splatter under their might. |
| 519 | * She is a being of absolute hunger, but above all desires to consume light. This entity of darkness lusts after the Silmarils and the light of Two Trees of Valinor; a hunger that continues to their successors of the sun and the moon. This hunger for light makes her the bane of light-using members of the House of Light and Darkness, [[LightIsGood good]] and [[LightIsNotGood evil]] alike. She ended up meeting Chernabog, who recognized her as a fellow [[DarkIsEvil entity of the dark]] and is helping her with destroying the light they both loathe. |
| 520 | * The reason why her rival [[VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublicIITheSithLords Darth Nihilus]] is no longer in the pantheon? She ''ate him.'' Then proceeded [[TooSpicyForYogSothoth to vomit for hours]], learning that she probably shouldn't eat HorrorHunger rivals of hers. Merkava was thankful for this, as it allowed it to ascend to the pantheon. Ungoliant has come to sympathize with Merkava's plight. Unfortunately for her, though, Darth Nihilus not only eventually returned back in the pantheon as the god of a new trope(The God Of BlackSpeech), but he has NOT forgotten what she did to him. However, it may be a while before they’re able to fight again, because when she ate him, [[TooSpicyForYogSothoth she almost died from food poisoning]]. As it turns out, since they both embody a hunger and darkness that can never be sated, the two can barely be near each other without their respective eldritch presence causing further damage and being so famished they try to [[{{Autocannibalism}} eat themselves]]. Their endless hunger leads them instead to compete for food. The Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfGood fears the day they ever [[EnemyMine set their differences aside]]. |
| 521 | * Her eternal hunger has found rivals with the Tyranids, Deviljho and Gluttony. Trying to provoke a food fight between the three is [[TooDumbToLive fatally unwise]], as they'd likely go on a binge rampage the likes of which ''Kirby'' would be shocked at. |
| 522 | * When the Wig-wigs entered, she came close to eating them all, but there were too many. She's also been barred from the House of Food for rather obvious reasons. |
| 523 | * Has gotten to know many in her new House of Fear. She recognized the darkness of Pitch and Balanor, finding kinship with them. Sinestro was another story; Ungoliant tried to eat his Central Power Battery, and managed to steal a Sinestro Corps ring for herself. The Sinestro Corps had to retreat to the Antimatter Universe, but not before combining their power for a massive flyswatter. |
| 524 | * Seems to get along with the Old Ones, claiming that "we went to high school together." No-one's sure if this is a joke, or a hint as to just where she came from. |
| 525 | * [[EldritchAbomination Though an entity of primordial darkness]], She [[AnimalisticAbomination is still a spider]] and as such likes to hang out with other spiders. She became good friends with Arachne, sharing a hatred of the gods and being the mothers of countless spiders. The spiders in and out of the pantheon regard the two in equal reverence. She sometimes hangs out with Hatsune as well. |
| 526 | * Not all spiders are her friend. Despite loving bugs, James Trotter considers her an abomination. She also got onto Peter's shit list by trying to usurp the Great Weaver. Also, while she and Chakravartin were good friends in his Golden Spider form, she began gnawing at the numerous mantras and webs of life he created. |
| 527 | * Billy went nuts upon learning that Ungoliant not only exists, but has teamed up with Arachne. In a fit of pure, fear-based rage [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu he beat the hell out of her with a chair]]. Melkor found this to be very cathartic to watch. |
| 528 | * A while ago, the Dementors encountered(on separate occasions) both Ungoliant and Darth Nihilus. They tried to feed on them, but this backfired due to Ungoliant’s [[HorrorHunger nature]] and her [[PowerOfTheVoid power]]. Instead, they both ended up feeding on the Dementors...only to get food poisoning again, just like she did with Nihilus when she ate him a while ago, due to the Dementors’s status as amortal beings. However, this, along with her immense dark powers, actually impressed the dementors, who decided to aknowledge both Nihilus and Ungoliant as potential new masters should something happen to Voldemort. Naturally, the mere idea of Ungoliant having an army of Dementors at her beck and call is quite terrifying for a majority of the Pantheon. |

| 548 | * Deities from several Houses awoke to a [[{{Understatement}} peculiar]] sight: Strange pillars of white lines dotted the area, boxed structures with a distinct age to them have appeared without warning, and structures are materializing out of nowhere. Some deities have reported such incidents beforehand deep within the House, but they were simply brushed off and quickly cleaned up without regard. This bit them in the back when after a month-long investigation to the alien structures research conducted have started disappearing left and right. People then noticed a strange new entrance deep under the House of similar architecture to the others. When attempting to open it, the deities were soon shot at by a large force of machines, the entire House soon following the same fate. Although a surprise, they drove them off, but they seemed to have already made their home in the Pantheon, and have no intention of leaving. |
| 549 | * While their temple was originally the Vault of Glass the Vex swapped it out for a new structure altogether, one specifically designed for the Pantheon although you'll find it's also a mix between the aforementioned Vault of Glass, the Pyramidion, the Citadel, the Black Garden, and more. In the very depths of the House of Technology once you have followed the strange circular structures, past the alien flora growing and thriving near their structures assuming you have evaded the hostile machines and hazardous Radiolarian fluid lies the entrance. Here is where the more major projects take place, and expect to face the Vex at their strongest as [[RealityWarper they dictate the laws of reality itself]]. Though it tends to vary, from locking off certain areas of time and space to [[RetGone erasing someone from existence]]. Regardless, their ontological weaponry is nothing to joke at, and the location hasn't even come close to be fully explored. |
| 550 | ** It's important that you also know that time works differently within their massive temple. A trip inside that [[YearInsideHourOutside took a few hours is almost instant on the outside]]. This works to their advantage, allowing them to conduct many calculations with their machines to remains steps ahead above others. It doesn't exactly make them omniscient, but looking at how they operate most of the time does give off that feeling. Unless if you can defy fate, then things get a lot more... complex for them. |
| 551 | ** Those who suffered attempts of existence erasure are advised to never confront the likes of Atheon, Panoptes, or any other Axis Minds capable of such feats. |
| 552 | * Yes, the Radiolarian fluid looks like milk. [[SchmuckBait Go ahead, drink it]]. It's proven to cause bodily harm, but it can also corrupt whoever makes contact with them as well. The same goes for their technology, as shown with Kabr and Asher Mir. Sure, their technology is advanced and it can be advantageous to utilize for oneself, but the cons can prove to be devastating and often irreversible. It doesn't stop the likes of opportunistic deities like the Grineer or the Corpus from trying the plunder their secrets. Since the Pyramidion is made to change others into Vex, the ones gunned down [[FridgeHorror could very well]] [[WasOnceAMan be human]]. |
| 553 | * Their ambitions are to [[HostileTerraforming remake the entire universe]] which simultaneously [[OmnicidalManiac kills off everyone that isn't them]]/[[TheAssimilator assimilates to their collective]], and with the events after [[VideoGame/Destiny2 the recapture of the Last City]] they've come pretty close simulating such a future onto reality itself. Of course, not many are a fan of being murdered to suit something else's needs and have been barred from many alliances despite the Vex having no intention of joining. First off, they have no sense of good or evil so the GUAG and GUAE are out. Second, their goals of following "the Pattern" can be translated to a lawful goal which of course the GUAC isn't fond of along with the GUAL because they refuse to hear to the Great Will's power in the end. Lastly, while their goals somewhat overlap, they are no allies to the GUAD since they have absolutely no intention of murdering themselves after causing such destruction. Plus, Oryx is an official member, and his Taken almost corrupted them all once. |
| 554 | ** While their fellow members are cautious, they nonetheless are affiliated with the Grand United Alliance of Machines. Though done pragmatically, the Alliance has recognized they can show mercy to machines as opposed to coldly murdering anything that so much as get in their way. It's not a prominent trait, but if the Grox could get in, there's no reason as to why they can too. Plus it's not like they can turn down a species that's strongly affiliated with time itself, it helps fill the limited power they have compared to the other Alliances. They have forsaken a group of heroic machines that oppose them along with other Machine Uprising movements, however, and have worked to try and dismantle them long before they make any moves. |
| 555 | * It's been discovered that Hobgoblin heads actually make good hatracks. Many deities from the [[Pantheon/{{Costumes}} House of Costumes]] had sought out these Vex, only to receive high-velocity particle jets to the face. Nowadays, they just resort to picking up what's left of their heads after a battle. Though, looking at Vex armor worn by Guardians has piqued their interest, though the space liches advise that they be careful. It's not like they don't understand where they're coming from, though. It ''is'' [[SkewedPriorities pretty fashionable]]. |
| 556 | * The Vex will worship any deity that they cannot comprehend so long as they get something out of it or they do not cross the Vex in some way. They understand that the [[EldritchAbomination Eldritch Abominations]] here won't be as generous back at their home universe. Although fruitless at first, they did manage to communicate with the Great Ones in an attempt to analyze their power, and become overall better. They seem similar goals of taking power with other deities, like Hyde Kido since his sword can actually erase others from existence. Similarly, they wish to understand Frisk's power as it contradicts their understanding power, although they know better than confronting them head-on. They just need to be patient. |
| 557 | ** [[spoiler:They also hold interest in Mementos that Yaldabaoth and the Phantom Thieves use, believing it to be another way to make manifest their BadFuture as well as erase others from existence. All they have to do is evict the current tenants. All they have to do is take analyze it for themselves and things will start falling into place hopefully]]. |
| 558 | * Have made many, many enemies in their time within the Pantheon. Falling under as xeno scum that wish to kill everything, they are no friends with the Emperor of Mankind or the Imperium of Man made worse that the Vex are technically {{Social Darwinist}}s. Master Chief, Doom Slayer, and Isaac Clarke have also clashed with the machines many times, being complete thorns at their side when trying to further their plans. They also come under fire by the Neuroi and the Daleks, continuously fighting each other for dominance. |
| 559 | ** After nearly being consumed, they have issued to eliminate the likes of the Zerg, the Flood, and the Infested, understanding the threat they pose to their goals. That mistake will not happen again, and they are perfectly willing to use their enemies to destroy any and all attempts at subjugating them. |
| 560 | ** Due to their exploitation of time, they are on the Dahaka's kill list and constantly goes after various Axis Minds. They are one of the few deities they actually consider a threat, shrugging off everything they throw at them. Similar levels involve Chronos and any other protectors of time itself like Chronoa. If they are to remake everything, they would need to be erased. |

| 579 | * Rival: [[Pantheon/{{Craft}} Popuko]] |
| 580 | * Desco appeared before the Pantheon when it was shrouded in darkness, claiming herself to be a vicious creature who will bring the Pantheon into blazing chaos. However, it turned out the darkness was merely a blackout and when the lights were turned back on, what the gods saw was a cute demon girl with a tentacle creature on her back. Taken in by how adorable she was, the gods accepted her into the pantheon as the Goddess of Lovecraftian Cuties. Desco was disappointed that her title was not as terrifying as she hoped it would be, but plans to work her way towards a better title. |
| 581 | ** Desco is at least happy to be amongst the many dreaded and powerful creatures of the House of Otherness. Whenever she is in the house, she can always be seen taking notes and observing the others gods' actions. |
| 582 | * As she is a member of the Hades Party, Valvatorez and Artina were happy to see her ascend. [[Pantheon/ObedienceMindsets Fenrich]] wasn't as pleased not only because of how friendly she is with Val and annoying to him, but because her ascension means that it's only a matter of time before "the Lass" ascends. True to his word, Desco immediately began making plans for her older sister, Fuka Kazamatsuri, to ascend. |
| 583 | * Has an interesting relationship with Ika Musume. On the one hand, Ika Musume constantly bugs Desco to join her army, believing she and her tentacle creature will be instrumental in her invasion. Desco refuses every single time, saying that she would only join her if it ultimately benefited her Big Sis. On the other hand, because neither of them are taken seriously (as a conqueror and as a Final Boss), they often confide in each other. |
| 584 | * Desco has a huge crush on Godzilla, who she considers a major hunk. It baffles the minds of many members of the Pantheon. |
| 585 | ** As such, she's jealous that Popuko is allowed to ride on the King of the Monsters' head or tail. |

| 601 | * Feared by: '''All ''Pantheon/SpongeBobSquarePants'' deities, ESPECIALLY [[Pantheon/{{Advertising}} SpongeBob]] and [[Pantheon/FriendshipArchetypes Patrick]]''' and basically all marine life in general. |
| 602 | * The being that guards Shell City is known as the Cyclops, feared all across the sea because anyone that has encountered it has never returned alive. After news of King Neptune's crown dissapearance and it being sent to Shell City by Plankton, Spongebob and Patrick set out to find it in order to clear Mr. Krab's name (who has been framed as the one who stole the crown). The Cyclops managed to capture them once they arrived at his territory and brought them to Shell City (which is actually just a gift shop in the beach) and then proceeds to [[HeroKiller kill spongebob and Patrick]] just to add them to his collection of deceased marine life, though thankfully their tears managing to revive everyone in Shell City and then get their revenge on the Cyclops. |
| 603 | * His reputation amongst the marine creatures in his universe was what got him into the Pantheon, [[HumansAreCthulhu as he regarded as a terrifying monster even if he is actually a mere human]]. This allowed the Cyclops to open Shell City in the Pantheon, something many deities were absolutely horrified to hear, especially those that come from the sea. Thankfully, he is not as threatening to the grand majority as he is simply just a human in a diver suit, although he can still be terrifying for the average deity. |
| 604 | * Both Spongebob and Patrick were absolutely terrified to learn that the Cyclops was ascended and in order to keep him from causing havoc, they insisted of adding measures to ban him from the House of Pantheon/AquaticLife in order to stop his constant terrorizing of the residents living there. And while he was eventually banned, given that several other marine deities live elsewhere has only made the Cyclops do his usual business elsewhere. |
| 605 | * Given in a similar predicament they were found, Padak and the Master are absolutely terrified of the Cyclops as he potentially is much more dangerous than the people of the restaurant, as unlike them [[{{Sadist}} he takes pleasure in hurting his victims]]. Marlin and Dory after what happened with Nemo also have tried their best to avoid crossing paths with the Cyclops in case he also wants to subject them to the fate of all the fish in Shell City. |
| 606 | * While all the Bikini Bottom deities are understandably afraid of him, Plankton has for the most part been on decently good terms with the Cyclops, as somehow Plankton managed to deliver King Neptune's crown to him but even Plankton is scared of the diver since he knows the Cyclops would turn on him the second he rans out of potential marine life to turn into souvenirs. |
| 607 | * The Cyclops may terrorize other marine life on a daily basis, [[AlwaysABiggerFish but there are always bigger fish than him]]. Such was the case with his encounters with Monstro, The Meg and the Orca, who gave him a lot of trouble because of their massive size and viciousness. But the diver was clever enough to find a fellow hunter with Captain Ahab, who notoriously has a beef with Moby Dick. Ahab agreed to help the Cyclops hunt these rare giant animals in exchange for him also helping him kill Moby Dick (which the diver had his sights on anyway). |
| 608 | * Aquaman and other merfolk were quick to design measures to stop the Cyclops from hurting innocent aquatic creatures, something that could jeopardize his business in Shell City. For one, they have tried to get his souvenir shop suspended but unfortunately the House of Pantheon/{{Commerce}} had deemed it perfectly legal, ignoring the obvious animal torture going behind the scenes. Instead they tried to just ban him from any potential water hall but that's proven to be impossible, so they just decided instead to watch his every move and prevent him from harming aquatic deities. Aquaman's half-brother, Orm the Ocean Master, had eventually joined in preventing the Cyclops from going after aquatic life in a more ruthless and violent manner, to the Cyclops' terror. |
| 609 | ** Steve Zissou in particular was the most adamant in trying to stop the Cyclops for giving humanity in general a bad reputation as well as harming the oceans in general. He thinks Shell City is an insult to his job as marine life is more than fodder for cheap souvenirs. Similarly, the ABZU Diver has made their mission to be the lookout for those unsuspecting deities that may come across the Cyclops, which certainly hasn't amused the latter and worse, the ABZU Diver's relationship with the Orca has only made the latter much more aggressive towards the Cyclops. |
| 610 | * Not even those that aren't from water halls are safe from his wrath as the Cyclops was able to discern Octodad's true identity and really wanted to [[DeadlyEuphemism put googly eyes on him]]. Unfortunately for Cyclops, that only brought the ire of Octogeddon, an even bigger mutant octopus, and the Cyclops' mistreatment of sea life, octopi included, didn't go unnoticed by Octogeddon, who proceeded to give the Cyclops his just desserts. Along with Octogeddon, the Cyclops has begun to stay away from the bigger sea monsters, knowing that as a mere diver, the Cyclops can't really do much to subdue them. |
| 611 | * The Cyclops did manage to make a few friends along the way. He came across Nautilus during one of his diving trips and convinced him to "work" alongside him which somehow Nautilus agreed to. Then after hearing his encounters with Aquaman, his arch-nemesis Black Manta decided to lend a hand to the Cyclops in terrorizing the oceans and even considering funding Shell City just to spite Aquaman. |
| 612 | * To try something new he decided to start terrorizing the Scooby Gang after often getting confused for the ghost of Captain Cutler. Scooby and Shaggy this time thought it was the real deal and run from the Cyclops, which he found amusing but after finding out what he really does, they found the Cyclops to be even worse than they anticipated. And unmasking him is not an option since at the end of the day he is human and the authorities have been struggling to arrest the Cyclops. |
| 613 | * Believe it or not, he does get customers in the Pantheon even though his actions are public knowledge. The Pyro is one of the deities that visits Shell City a lot, finding the animals there cute and often buying ton of them, which the Cyclops would happily oblige to and the two developer a very close friendship as a result. Some wonder if whoever is bought by the Pyro ends up in [[FateWorseThanDeath even worse hands]]. |

| 631 | * SCP-4666. Object Class: Keter. An entity that shows up from the night of December 21-22 to January 1-2 north of 40 degrees latitude, "the Yule Man" acts like a twisted parody of Santa and the Krampus. During a Weissnacht Event he ritualistically tortures and kills families in creatively brutal ways, and kidnaps kids to work in his factory. They work in hellish conditions to make presents out of human body parts, as a macabre take on the holidays. He is equal parts SerialKiller and HumanoidAbomination. |
| 632 | * Upon his ascension, SCP-4666 soon found himself despised by every single Santa in the pantheon, and every being related to Christmas. And we do mean every, as Robot Santa Claus [[EvenEvilHasStandards was repulsed by him]]. When the Yule Man questioned where he gets to have the moral high ground, he replied that he only acts brutal to the naughty kids, [[AllCrimesAreEqual it's just that 99.999% of them are naughty in his eyes]]. Even then, he wouldn't subject them or his elves to the level of torture the Yule Man is guilty of. |
| 633 | * Jack Skellington has been spending much of the winter holidays trying to take out SCP-4666, as he does not treat the torture and death of children lying down, nor the perversion of holidays. 4666 pointed out that he messed up Christmas and doesn't have room to talk, though this is only trying to save face as he does not care about how monstrous his take on the holidays is. |
| 634 | * Has been summarily banned from the House of Craft and Commerce. This is due to his "Weissnacht" gifts for the pantheon involved him crafting stuff from bones, muscles, skin and whatever body parts he can get ahold of, which he was making in Craft and tried to sell in Commerce. The House of Family will shoot him on site for obvious reasons. SCP-4666 has instead produced "gifts" in the House of Torture and Mutilation, along with improving his "[[ColdBloodedTorture craft]]". |
| 635 | * Wanted to make a flying reindeer of his own. After mutilating animals and stitching wings didn't work, SCP-4666 decided to go after Xerneas (a fairy deer was "close enough"), and the actual reindeer Tony Tony Chopper. It's better off not knowing what he planned to do with them, though it likely involves using their immortality and healing capabilities [[FateWorseThanDeath to keep his child slaves live longer to work harder]]. Son Goku proceeded to Instant Transmission and beat the living daylights out of the Yule Man due to his position as Champion of Christmas. |
| 636 | * Zim and Dib recognized SCP-4666 as similar to the rogue Santa Suit of their universe, [[{{Santabomination}} a Christmas monstrosity]]. Worrying that it had somehow returned in a new form, [[EnemyMine they teamed up]] to stop 4666. Both Jack Frosts and Queen Elsa loathe the Yule Man, who can be seen stalking the House of Ice and Cold. |
| 637 | * Has attracted the attention of other twisted holiday figures and enemies of said holidays. Oogie Boogie likes the cut of his jib, and how he could help restore Bug Day. Winterbolt and Pitch Black saw a lot of potential, but they are less happy to work with SCP-4666. Winterbolt worries he might get in the way of his rule of the North Pole and the holiday seasons as a fellow Christmas figure, while Pitch Black [[EvenEvilHasStandards thinks he's a bit too intense]] for a full partnership. |
| 638 | * Melkor seems fond of SCP-4666, since the entity perverts everything about Santa, TheKrampus and Christmas to a truly wicked and nightmarish level. Freddy Krueger appreciates 4666's twisted sense of style and how he brings fear and pain to so many people. And SCP-106, having already done horrible things in a macabre Halloween, wants to have fun spreading suffering with a fellow SCP. Pennywise was most amused by how he perverts something innocent much like himself, and how they like eating kids. |
| 639 | * Unfortunately, SCP-4666 has been seen giving out his grotesque gifts to various, truly malevolent deities in the House of Pantheon/CrimeAndTransgressions. Eddie Low loved the present of a mutilated, stitched corpse that was meant to be a life-sized doll. It seems to like how Jack the Ripper systematically tears apart his victims, and Ramsay Bolton has gotten some terrible ideas on how to celebrate Christmas from the Yule Man. |
