Notes

- Only
Tsathoggua, 
Dagon, and 
Cthugha are considered Great Old Ones in the mythos.
- Azathoth,
Nyarlathotep, and 
Yog-Sothoth are in the group called Outer Gods as they reside beyond the Earth's system. 
Nodens is an Elder God, benevolent beings that created the Outer Gods and trapped the Great Old Ones.
- Only
- Though the world is based on the mythos revolving around H.P. Lovecraft's creations; it is composed of multiple authors that incorporate their stories into the said mythos.
- Created by H.P. Lovecraft:
- Azathoth is described as a sentient black hole at the center of the universe where he kept asleep by the sound of flutes. Depending on the source, Azathoth initially spawned three beings; Nyarlathotep, the Nameless Mist, and the Darkness.
- Nyarlathotep, the spawn of Azathoth, acts as a messenger for his masters though he spreads madness far more proficiently than death as most of his kin do.
- Yog-Sothoth, the spawn of the Nameless Mist, is known as the gatekeeper.
- Dagon is a great deity worshipped by fish-like humanoids known as the Deep Ones.
- Nodens is described as a benevolent and powerful entity, master of the night-gaunts, and one of the beings that oppose Nyarlathotep.
- The author August Derleth created Cthugha, a giant mass of living flame that lives in the star Formalhaut.
- Tsathoggua was created by H.P. Lovecraft in name but it was the author Clark Ashton Smith that gave it flesh; an incredible lazy being that lives in Saturn.
Tindalos, named Hounds of Tindalos, were created by the author Frank Belknap Long and were properly codified into the Cthulhu mythos by August Derleth; described as beings of unimaginable form that lurk in the angles of time, hunting those that dare try to trespass it.
- Created by H.P. Lovecraft:
- Dagon originated from a deity in Canaan of the same name.
- Nodens has connections to the world Tír na nÓg through his basis in Irish folklore, Nuada.
