Tsathoggua (I pronounce this "tsath-oh-GOO-uh" or "tsuh-THOH-goo-uh"), also known as Zhothaqquah and the Sleeper of N'kai, is an entity described as a Great Old One.
Tsathoggua's idols often depict him as a giant toad-like monstrosity, morbidly obese and often sleeping. He is ever-hungering. In the words of Clark Ashton Smith himself:
You shall know Tsathoggua by his great girth[1]
Nice.
Lineage
Lovecraft describes Tsathoggua as the offspring of Yeb, but CAS describes him as being born of Ghisguth and Zystulzhemgni.
