Vthyarilops (The Starfish God) is a fictional entity created by Dan Perez for his short story "The Likeness".
Overview[]
Vthyarilops is a Great Old One that resembles a starfish but endowed with branching tentacles, spines, a myriad of blue glaring eyes and gaping maws. It is known to dwell in the void of outer space, waiting for victims to consume.
The tattoo artist Cal worked on a full-body tattoo for his female client Mindy, based on an illustration of Vthyarilops from the Necronomicon. When it was completed, Vthyarilops was able to manifest through Mindy and devoured her boyfriend Jake. (EXP: "The Likeness")
