Azathoth is a deity in the Cthulhu Mythos and Dream Cycle stories of writer H. P. Lovecraft and other authors. He is the supreme deity of the Cthulu Mythos and the ruler of the Outer Gods,[1] and may also be seen as a symbol for primordial chaos,[2] therefore being the most powerful entity in the entirety of the Cthulhu Mythos.[3][4][5][6]
Azathoth is referred to as the "daemon-sultan" and "Lord of All Things", whose throne is at the center of "Ultimate Chaos".[5]
