History
Origin[]
Hoggoth was a mystical entity,[2] and was an extremely ancient and powerful entity of order.[citation needed] One of the Old Ones, Hoggoth believed himself alone in all of creation, save for the ghosts of his fellow Old Ones.[2] He was known to be one of the last survivors of an ancient mystic race by Ian McNee who hypothesized his connection to the Old Ones from his name[4] (the "oth" ending of the name is common among them).
Oshtur[]
Oshtur, fascinated with the cosmos and other worlds rather than Earth alone, encountered Hoggoth during her explorations and spawned Agamotto to form a benevolent trinity of magic. He and the fellow-minded Oshtur and Agamotto formed the omnipotent trio known as the Vishanti. Hoggoth normally appears as a humanoid male. The "hoary hosts of Hoggoth" also have a similar appearance.[5]
His temple is the Temple of the Three.[6]Attributes
