Khosatral Khel (Marvel Comics)

🐙 Khosatral Khel (aka, the Ancient from the Abyss) is a Lovecraftian-like extra-dimensional entity from the fictional universe of Marvel from Marvel Comics.

Background[]

Khosatral Khel was a being that originated from the abyss and darkness, and entered the physical universe. Human flesh was incapable of holding its lifeforce therefore it used matter to create itself a body, a blasphemous form. For millennia it traveled across the world as humans ineffectually attacked him. It eventually found the primitives living on the island of Dagonia. He brought them civilization and with his assistance they built the city of Dagonia. Human sacrifices were offered to him by the priests.

Some time later, their was a slave rebellion led by a priest armed with a knife that was forged from a meteor. Which negated Khosatral Khel's magic, and when stabbed by it, became immobile and senseless. The slaves slaughtered the Dagonians and took over the city. A fisherman would years later remove the knife from Khosatral Khel, reviving him. Using necromancy it restored the city and its inhabitants. Later it would encounter Conan which killed it, using the magical dagger.
