Azathoth
Azathoth: God of Darkness & Master of the Void
Description: The void in which all the planets of the cosmos exist, Azathoth is the formless mass of darkness which can twist itself into any shape it desires. His true form is a series of fleshy intestinal tubes surrounding a mass of internal organs. He has appeared before as a giant black spider with a red hourglass on its spinneret, an old man in a black cloak with a feral grin, a black hound with red eyes and black jaguar with golden eyes. His most infamous form is that of writhing mass of black appendages squirming from a central inky mass that constantly squelches as its shape shifts from one to the next.
​
Abilities: Azathoth can control the essence of the void. He can shape darkness into new creatures, use it to destroy his enemies or shield himself in swathes of impenetrable shadow. He can also imbue the spirits of the dead with portions of his aspect to create new gods. As master of the Void Azathoth can appear anywhere there is darkness and is unable to be permanently slain.
​
Hexes: His followers gain the power to control darkness or to summon the creatures who dwell in the abyss but many are consumed by either for delving too deep into such abyssal energies. They can use bands of darkness to constrict their foes or spikes of darkness kill them along with numerous other applications. They can curse their foes to steal their strength, speed and vitality or blind and cripple victims.
​
Lore: Azathoth is the entity responsible for creating the canvas on which the universe could be created. He is the formless darkness that continues to constantly expand and grow in strength. He is responsible for the creation of the outer worlds and gods whether directly or indirectly. Azathoth penned the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, a tome containing instructions on how to contact the various entities of the abyss creating the school of black magic known as diabolism.
