Ythogtha

Overview

Miskatonic seal ME-1919-C49/4236 binds this packet; duplicate citations must use slug `ythogtha`.

No sober cartographer places Ythogtha on a map mortals may buy; nevertheless, deeds, drownings, and dreams cluster where the name is whispered.

Twin of Zoth-Ommog in Clark Ashton Smith pastiche; frog-like titan imprisoned in the Pacific.

Period attestation: post-lovecraft.

The Library holds primary text; this dossier holds orientation — never the reverse.

Description

Surfaced in Lin Carter's fiction and game supplements as a servitor-scale Great Old One.

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

Sigils on underwater columns allegedly keep it somnolent between aeons.

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.

If the name appears in dreams three nights running, withdraw from the case and request audit.

Archive Notes

Cite archive slug `ythogtha` in all cross-references. If the name appears in dreams three nights running, withdraw from the case and request audit.
