Your favorite mythos deity

[gloriousbattle]

Doncha just wanna cuddle all those cute little tentacled, soul-destroying horrors, and give them big huggy-wuggies?  Sure.  We all do!  But which one is your fav?

For me: Yig, Father of Serpents.  I like the fact that he is one of the lesser gods, living in a cave somewhere rather than hanging out at the center of the universe or in some other dimension.  Horror has to be kinda imminent for me, or it becomes too remote to be really terrifying.

Also, snakes are just plain scary; and the idea of running into a bunch of cobras, rattlers, whatever, gives me the creeps.  Now, make 'em forty feet long and give 'em magic powers...

[Alfrik]

Shoggoths.  Make thier own appendages, some what technological savy, ooze through smallish openings, grow what ever appendage they need, what ever sensory organs they need, their mission is unknowable, motivations unponderable, they appear to feel nothing as they ooze over you, throttle you, rip you appart, amoral sort of. Emits errie noises, usually that you end up hearing just as it comes around a corner. Some what translucent lets you see into them... the things in them, oh, theres your advance scouting expert floating about..

Yep, likes them a lot 

And while not a diety they are my favorite in CoC

[supervike]

the big 'lu for me.

Cthulhu, in his pulpy goodness is just the epitome for madness, fear and loathing.

[chicklewis]

Having run CoC games for more years than I care to admit, there is no question.

Nyarlathotep is just so USEFUL and so BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL. 

[P_Clapham]

Got to second Nyarlathotep.  I really dig on the Egyptian theme, and he's one of the more interesting of the deities.  With his thousand forms he can pop up just about anywhere.  I loved how he was the focus for both the European Witch Cult and the Egyptian Cult.

[Bako]

Potentially Azathoth, I do hazard.

nyarlathotep for me please he's the biggest badass of all
although I also love cthulhu: the one dreaming on the bottom of the ocean an also the one tattooed on my arm

[B. Basiliscus]

I love them all. <3

Well, except for Cynothoglys, Hziulquoigmnzhah, Ut'Ulls-Hr'Her.
Ridiculous and stupid, the three of them.
From their wiki description it sounds like the authors didn't even try to make cool monsters.

got a pic of that?

Your arm, not the bottom of the ocean....

[Doc Twilight]

Agreed on old 'Hotep, but I have to say that Chaudra Faughn is a close second. He's theoretically vulnerable, responsible for many ancient mystery cults, insidious, and... well, once again, totally bizarre. He's essentially Ganesh on a bad day.

[Sheerluck Holmes]

I have always like the Cthonians, and their deity Shudde M'ell

[Blackwolf]

Nodens and his Nightgaunts, in that 'which CoC deity are you' I came out 100% Nodens,freaky huh?

Your arm, not the bottom of the ocean....

WOW, when you said Cthulhu tattoo on your arm, I pictures a small squid face on your bicep....THAT IS AMAZING.  A serious piece of work.  Very impressive.  Definitely want to see the finished product.

[demi_morgana]

thanks mate
on July it will just get some sharpness and come colors (tattoo was too "fresh" to add colors when I was at the parlor last time) but after that... well... I'd really like drawing to grow: low arm, chest and back in the final
