🔀 For the short story "Zoth-Ommog", see "The Horror in the Gallery".

This subject contains information from the Expanded Cthulhu Mythos, and not based on H.P. Lovecraft's works directly. Zoth-Ommog is a Great Old One and the third son of Cthulhu, featured in the Xothic Legend Cycle by Lin Carter.

He has a tapered cone-shaped body, a razor-fanged reptilian head like a Tyrannosaurus rex, four broad, flat, starfish-like arms with suckers, and a mane of tentacles. How he swims or walks on the ocean floor is unknown, but he may have a slug-like foot similar to the Great Race of Yith.

The Elder Gods imprisoned Zoth-Ommog beneath the seabed near Ponape and R'lyeh. Like his older brother Ythogtha, Zoth-Ommog is served by Father Ubb and the Yuggs.

Zoth-Ommog's legend is chronicled in the R'lyeh Text and the Ponape Scripture.
