This subject contains information from the Expanded Cthulhu Mythos, and not based on H.P. Lovecraft's works directly. D'endrrah, also known as The Divinity, is a fictional entity created by Pierre Zaplotny for the Call of Cthulhu scenario "La Terza Bocca di D'endrrah", featured in issue #46 of the French role-playing magazine Casus Belli. The character also played a pivotal role in Bryn Fortey's 2021 short story "Beneath the Pimple", published in Vol 5, Issue 4 of the Lovecraftiana zine.

Overview[]

D'endrrah is a shape shifting Outer God who possesses a great hunger for living worlds. It often manifests in the form of a gigantic squid-like monster or a cloud of heavy, smoky, organic matter with millions of teeth, which wanders the cosmos endlessly to devour any world it stumbles across.(source?)

D'endrrah was defeated by Cthulhu when it threatened to devour Earth sometime before the time of ancient Egypt. Stories are also told of the Egyptian god Ra, the god of the sun, who fought this monster in its guise as Apep from his flying chariot.(source?)

Another story tells of how D'endrrah acted on behalf of Yog-Sothoth in a plan to expose and imprison the duplicitous god Olkoth, sealing it beneath a hill in rural Wales. (EXP: "Beneath the Pimple")

The entity is heavily inspired by C. L. Moore's short story "Shambleau", in which a being or race of beings from another time or dimension appear to people in the shape of a beautiful woman to feed on them, heavily hinted to be the origin of both the myths of medusa and vampires.(source?)
