Description My interpretation of the Elder God Dagon, from the Necronomicon.
According to Donald Tyson's "Necronomicon", Dagon is an aquatic god who lives with his race of Deep Ones in an unknown chasm of the ocean. It is said that an ancient monolith/pillar is the source of Dagon's power. He is the weakest and most physically manifested of all the Elder Gods.
Dagon corresponds with the sphere of the Moon.

Right, so here he is! Though I have made "he", a "she". Dagon is sometimes referred to as "Mother Hydra", and since the only other girl is Shub-Niggurath, I thought why not?

I may draw his male version one day.

Dagon belongs to H.P.Lovecraft.
The design belongs to me.

Niiiiiice~ Though does it mean something that I saw the shells and instantly thought of Mijumaru? Loooool. Ha ha, and as I was reading the description I kept scrolling back up and was like "There's no way that's a guy..." But it seems I was correct... ha ha. Very good once again, though... her head almost seems like it's a tad too big. Though maybe that's just me.

Merci! Yes, pokemon has overtaken your brain, though the shells are indeed resemblant now that I look again.
lol! Even I wouldn't attempt to pass that off as a guy.
And ya, her head was even bigger before I fixed it. x___x
Apparently I didn't fix it enough! Oh well. :3

Did a nice job on this. Mother Hydra is Dagon's wife and Dagon is also a god of the Philistine pantheon. One version of the Necronomicon says that he and the Deep Ones aided the Philistines and created an empire with them

Cool! Thanks for clearing up the Mother Hydra thing. I'll keep it as my excuse to have two girls in the Elder God group.
