Description

One of the most enigmatic Outer Gods. He takes the form of coutles shiny spheres which then appears protoplasmic flesh with tentacles and other stuff. He is the universe.


“...great globes of light massing toward the opening, and not alone these, but the breaking apart of the nearest globes, and the protoplasmic flesh that flowed blackly outward to join together and form that eldritch, hideous horror from outer space, that spawn of the blankness of primal time, that tentacled amorphous monster which was the lurker at the threshold, whose mask was as a congeries of iridescent globes, the noxious Yog-Sothoth, who froths as primal slime in nuclear chaos beyond the nethermost
outposts of space and time!”


H.P. Lovecraft & August Derleth, The Lurker At the Threshold


“Yog-Sothoth knows the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the key and guardian of the gate. Past, present, future, all are one in Yog-Sothoth. He knows where the Old Ones broke through of old, and where They shall break through again. He knows where They have trod earth's fields, and where They still tread them, and why no one can behold Them as They tread.”

H. P. Lovecraft, The Dunwich Horror

Ive got a rather interesting theory about this guy here


Since he is supposedly “coterminous with all time and space, yet is supposedly locked outside of the universe we inhabit” maybe we are actually PART of him? Since the way he is described resembles what the multiverse might look like when seen from the outside, and the “bubbles” may very well be universes of their own, with one of them maybe being ours
