Overview
Miskatonic seal ME-1919-G59/8028 binds this packet; duplicate citations must use slug `abholos`.
In the marginalia of the Latin Necronomicon the name Abholos appears beside tides, eclipses, or breeding cycles we cannot reproduce in laboratory glass.
First-born of Cthulhu's line in some mythologies; dwells beneath the sea as a vast, devouring presence.
Period attestation: prehuman.
Cross-reference before fieldwork; cite slug in all reports; do not bring back souvenirs that pulse.
Description
Associated with drowning, undertow, and the collapse of coastal structures without storm.
Sensory reports conflict in detail — scale, colour, limb count — yet agree that the phenomenon offends proportion.
Olfactory notes in depositions: salt, copper, wet stone, and organic sweetness like fruit fermenting in a closed room.
Historical Record
Listed in later grimoires as sibling or herald to greater oceanic powers; evidence remains folkloric.
Post-1937 pastiche and game supplements multiplied references; the archive tags those layers expanded mythos unless a primary citation is supplied.
Cross-links at dossier foot should be treated as hypotheses, not as family trees carved in stone.
Field Observations
Do not engage alone; do not accept hospitality from hosts who show windows to other eras.
Submit Form Theta-9 if conversation turns to cities remembered only in sleep.
What sleeps is not dead; what is catalogued here may be doing neither.
Archive Notes
Cite archive slug `abholos` in all cross-references. What sleeps is not dead; what is catalogued here may be doing neither.
