Template:Inmythos This subject contains information from the Mythos Adjacent Works, and while share similar themes and features of the Mythos are not based on his work, or generally considered a part of the Mythos proper. This subject contains information from the Expanded Cthulhu Mythos, and not based on H.P. Lovecraft's works directly.

Groth-Golka is a monstrous creature dwelling under Antarctica. It is said to vaguely resemble a pterosaur.

It was worshipped in Bal-Sagoth, a remnant colony of Atlantis. It has a "bird avatar" form, one of which was killed during the Dark Ages.

Groth-Golka is the lord of the "Fishers From Outside" (possibly the Shantaks).

Behind the Mythos

Groth-Golka was created by Robert E. Howard for the non-Myths story "The Gods of Bal-Sagoth". Lin Carter incorporated these gods into the Mythos, but for a time confused Groth-Golka and Gol-goroth. Efforts have been made to untangle the confusion.
