The following are avatars of Nyarlathotep:
- The Doctor has been described as "what you'd get if the Crawling Chaos decided to make humanity his pet species instead of just another species on his 'to screw with' list." The Master probably counts as well.
- The Lich is a being of pure evil who wants nothing but the extinction of all life a across all realities, and he has vivid memory of a time before Nothingness where reality was nothing but an endless sea of Eldritch Abominations, which hints himself is one of them
- Alucard
- Tzeentch, Nyarlathotep's primary manifestation in the warp, just as the Black Pharaoh manifests in the cosmos.
- In addition, the Abyss is Nyarlathotep's manifestation in the Route of Ages.
- Also, if Nyarlathotep is Tzeentch, he is also David Xanatos. After all, who's the God of Magnificent Bastardry?
- And the Warp itself is Yog-Sothoth.
- Kaworu Nagisa
- Wait, so Nyarlathotep is Kaworu, who in turn is Jesus and therefore both Haurhi and the Dunwitch Horror?
- As a result, Nyarlathotep - and subsequently Azathoth - is the child of Yog-Sothoth, who also incarnates as Bill Gates.
- Ryoji Kaji probably counts too.
- Wait, so Nyarlathotep is Kaworu, who in turn is Jesus and therefore both Haurhi and the Dunwitch Horror?
- Kyon, as the entity which goes around making sure that the creator of reality (Azathoth, aka Haruhi) remains asleep. All the SOS really is is an updated version of the ol' pipes routine.
- the Fireclown
- Arioch, Duke of Hell
- Satan
- Last I checked, Satan wasn't described as a Magnificent Bastard in The Bible.

- Ba'al
- Apocalypse
- Raistlin Majere
- Black Mage
- Philemon
- Wait, Philemon is the source of the Persona-user's power (via his proxy Igor), and in Persona 2, he empowered a group that beat Nyarlathotep.
- Mind screws should be expected here, really.
- Considering that, as stated above, Tzeentch is also an incarnation of Nyarlathotep and that he's playing against himself all the time, that's not really a refutation at all.
- Wait, Philemon is the source of the Persona-user's power (via his proxy Igor), and in Persona 2, he empowered a group that beat Nyarlathotep.

- Nyarlathotep is also the force behind the Shadows. Maybe also behind the Vorlons.

- Whoever runs the Cabal, as stated above in an earlier WMG..
- Kyubey.

- Where does Tirek fit into all this? As in the G4 one?
