Nyarlathotep

"Understand that there is no﻿ point in living. Cry, that there is no answer! Where there is darkness, there are shadows. I, myself, am all of you humans!"

- Nyarlathotep

"And it was then that Nyarlathotep came out of Egypt. Who he was, none could tell, but he was of the old native blood and looked like a Pharaoh. The fellahin knelt when they saw him, yet could not say why. He said he had risen up out of the blackness of twenty-seven centuries, and that he had heard messages from places not on this planet. Into the lands of civilisation came Nyarlathotep, swarthy, slender, and sinister, always buying strange instruments of glass and metal and combining them into instruments yet stranger. He spoke much of the sciences – of electricity and psychology –and gave exhibitions of power which sent his spectators away speechless, yet which swelled his fame to exceeding magnitude. Men advised one another to see Nyarlathotep, and shuddered. And where Nyarlathotep went, rest vanished; for the small hours were rent with the screams of a nightmare."

Nyarlathotep, also known as the Crawling Chaos or The Black Pharaoh, is the leader of the Outer Gods. He is the God of Space, Identity, the Truth, Malevolent Intents, Dark Desires, and Dehumanization. He is also the former chieftain god of the Cthulhu Mythos Pantheon, prior to his retirement and move to Earth.

He is the third Outer Gods created by Azathoth, being the younger sibling of the Nameless Mist and the Unnamed Darkness. He is the husband of Yhoundeh, and the father of Ugga-Naach, Lylithu, and A Million Favored Ones.

His Dusanyan counterpart is Mosahn - the Bird of Doom.

Biography
Nyarlathotep was known to many as The Crawling Chaos, The God of a Thousand Forms, The Dweller in Darkness, The Faceless God, The Floating Horror, The Haunter of the Dark or many others, is an Outer God in the Cthulhu Mythos. He is the spawn of Azathoth. Like many of the well known Old Ones, he was created by H. P. Lovecraft.

Nyarlathotep differs from the other deities in the Mythos in a number of ways. Most of the Outer Gods are exiled to the stars, like Yog-Sothoth and Azathoth, and most of the Great Old Ones are sleeping and dreaming like Cthulhu; Nyarlathotep, however, is active and frequently walks the Earth, actively seeking to agitate the universe into madness, woe, and discord. He has been known as a manipulative, charismatic and cruel entity who enjoy bringing chaos to the many worlds he walks. He has "a thousand" other forms and manifestations, most reputed to be quite horrific and sanity-blasting.

While the other Mythos gods are often described as mindless or unfathomable, rather than truly malevolent, Nyarlathotep delights in cruelty, he is deceptive and manipulative, deceiving the antagonists of the mythos into believing he could grant them power (which he did at the cost of nearly losing their humanity) and manipulating them into becoming his pawns and even cultivates followers and uses propaganda to achieve his goals.

Appearance
"-a tall, lean man of dead black colouration but without the slightest sign of negroid features: wholly devoid of either hair or beard, and wearing as his only garment a shapeless robe of some heavy black fabric. His feet were indistinguishable because of the table and bench, but he must have been shod, since there was a clicking whenever he changed position. The man did not speak, and bore no trace of expression on his small, regular features. He merely pointed to a book of prodigious size which lay open on the table...."

Unlike most of Outer Gods, who are either exiled to the stars or within an endless comatose state, Nyarlathotep is active and frequently walks the Earth in the guise of a human being; usually a tall, slim, and joyous man. He has "a thousand" other forms and manifestations, most reputed to be quite horrific and sanity-blasting.

His true form is that of an anthromorphic hyena, with black - almost dark-blue - fur and long neon-green hair. His tail is long and resembles a kind of junction of several distort arms and hands (or claws). He is muscular, though his shirt often makes him look chubby. He is neither tall nor small, being 170 cm (5'5") tall. His eyes are neon-green, his nails are black, and he has red marks in his face that grow and glow according to the amount of power he is using at the moment.

He often wears a simple white T-shirt with a leather jacket over it, dark-colored jeans, black belt, and boots with multiple accessorized studded belts around it. He also wears a bracelet made out of an unknown kind of golden metals with priceless lapis lazuli.
