With the help of ChatGPT and some very judicious editing of my own, here's some new Great Old Ones. I don't mind making offhand references to Cthulhu, Yog-Sothoth, Tsathoggua, Gol-Goroth and The Necronomicon or The Book of Eibon, but I really want my own references that are unique. Not all of these will make the cut, and I've already modified them quite a bit. But it's still something from which to work...
- Kholgorath—The Beast Beyond the Mountains: primal earth-force, embodiment of strength, fertility, and slumbering hunger beneath mountains.
- Urzathon—The Devourer of Suns: vast cosmic fire that consumes light and creation; analog of destructive solar energy.
- Velkraith—Lord of the Red Obelisk: titan of war and stone; represents violence fossilized into monuments.
- Thunorak—Serpent of the Hollow Earth: wyrm of the deep earth and gold veins; symbol of buried greed and endless burrowing.
- Tulushoth—Wolf Without Shadow: predator-void of darkness; cycles of winter and death.
- Zaltharion—Black Crowned King: god of dominion and necrotic kingship; lord of rulership through decay.
- Mornath-Gul—Horned Flame: living fire of transformation, renewal through destruction.

- Seryvokath—The Ashen Host: the wolf’s breath dispersed into a swarm of moths; silent consumption.
- Ghorthalyx—The Carrion Crown: manifestation of death’s kingship; rot enthroned.
