- Only Tsathoggua, Dagon, Cthugha, and Hastur are considered Great Old Ones in the mythos.

- Only Tsathoggua, Dagon, Cthugha, and Hastur are considered Great Old Ones in the mythos.
- 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:

- 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.
- Hastur was created by Ambrose Bierce; a vaguely octopoid figure that takes many forms and half-brother of Cthulhu.
- Created by H.P. Lovecraft:
- Dagon originated from a deity in Canaan of the same name.
