Description
Tsathoggua and his family arrived in our solar system 100 million years ago aboard the continent-ship Cykranosh. They are wanderers, riding the shattered piece of their homeworld from system to system always seeking new people and novel places. However they are a slothish group and their explorations last spans of time best described as geological.

Sfatlicllp - Tsathoggua's granddaughter. She lived among the Voormi of Hyperborea at the height of Commorium and with her grandfather's blessing imbued a Voormi with the power of the Formless Spawn. The result of this "mating" was the Hybrid freedom fighter Knygathin Zhaum. She has since moved back to Cykranosh with a population of her favourites.

Xiurhn - A young cousin of the family, Xiurhn is independent and free-thinking. Rather than store his consciousness in the Formless Spawn like other Cxaxakluthans he is experimenting with solid state ectoplasm. He currently resides in the Dreamlands.

Zvilpogghua - The son of Tsathoggua and Shathak and the first Cxaxakluthan born in this system. Zvilpogghua is unusually active for his family and does not currently reside anywhere within the solar system. Instead he is currently off exploring the galaxy at a pace his family does not wish to match. He returns every few hundred thousand years with tales of his exploits and souvenirs from distant stars.

Shathak - The life-partner of Tsathoggua. They live on Neptune amongst the vast fungal ecology that floats on its winds. Despite the interplanetary distances between their homes, they stay in "frequent" contact with Tsathoggua.

Zstylzhemghi - The matriarch of the Cykranoshan clan. Known as the "mother of the swarm" she is a distributed intelligence inhabiting many bodies.

Spquaddi - A lesser Cxasakluthan and follower of Tsathoggua, this little fellow enjoys gems and ironic punishments in equal measure. He resides within a cave full of jewels he's collected over the eons, sometimes allowing them to be taken so he can lure in the greedy like an anglerfish.

Gol-Goroth - The black sheep of the Cykranoshan family. Although we shouldn't pretend the others haven't ever eaten anything that was a person Gol-Goroth delights in torture and loves inspiring "lesser beings" to do terrible things for his enjoyment. He is a monster in every sense of the word and revels in it, even his chosen body is designed to look like an evil reflection of his relatively benevolent cousins.

/----------------------------------------------------\
Boy did that get away from me. I started out just wanting to doodle Gol-Goroth and went ahead and did most of Tsathoggua's family because goofy toad monsters are fun to draw.

Most of these entities are only briefly mentioned in stories, if that. Honestly for a lot of them I'm just creating stuff out of thin air based on some names on CAS's "Genealogical Chart of the Elder Gods" and a scant detail or two from the Lovecraft wiki.

The exceptions are Spquaddi (who I had to invent a name for) who featured in "The Weird of Avoosl Wuthoqquan" as a random toad beast of Hyperborea, Xiurhn who is a creation of Gary Myers and Gol-Goroth who was in Robert E Howard's "The Gods of Bal-Sagoth" and "The Black Stone".
