Brian Lumley deities

The Brian Lumley deities are supernatural entities created for the Cthulhu Mythos universe of shared fiction by British horror writer Brian Lumley.

The title monstrosity of Lumley's "The Kiss of Bugg-Shash", Bugg-Shash is a gelatinous creature with innumerable human-like eyes and mouths within its black mass. It attacks human victims by wrapping its mass around them and drowning them in slime, often attacking several individuals at once. Once dead, the victim(s) can be controlled, puppet-like, to perform a task where there is light, something which Bugg-Shash cannot endure. Bugg-Shash is a name which Lumley first mentioned in-passing in his early story "Rising with Surtsey", and later applied to the nameless creature of David Sutton's "Demoniacal" when he wrote "Kiss" as a sequel to it.

Kthanid is said to be the "brother" of Cthulhu. He looks like his sibling, but has golden eyes. He resides within a crystal cave on Elysia. It is said that he is as good as his brother is evil. He bears a great hatred towards the old ones for they had killed his family, while he lay sleeping.

It first appeared in Lumley's 1975 novel The Transition of Titus Crow, and appeared again in his next novel The Clock of Dreams (1978).

Mnomquah, the Lord of the Black Lake, is first referenced in Lumley's short story "The Sorcerer's Book" (1984). Mnomquah is trapped inside the Dreamlands moon, though how he became imprisoned there is not known. He appears as a vast reptile with a crown of snaking feelers, and empty sockets in place of eyes (though they still serve as sensory organs). His mate is the repulsive Oorn. It is said that when the other Great Old Ones return to lay waste to the world, Mnomquah will be reunited with his bride.

Mnomquah is called the Lord of the Black Lake because he rules over the Lake of Ubboth beneath the surface of the moon.

Oorn is mentioned in the book Mad Moon of Dreams (1987) by Brian Lumley. She is the wife of the reptilian Mnomquah. She has the form of a huge tentacled mollusk, with snaking appendages that can spew digestive fluid on things she wishes to eat. Like her husband, her only true worshippers are the Men of Leng and the Moon-beasts. A temple devoted to Oorn and Mnomquah is near Sarkomand in the Dreamlands.
