Creature:Dagon

Dagon is an aquatic deity worshipped by numerous (usually violent) species, most notably the Harks Empire. He is a creature of mind-boggling age who often whispers to his followers calling for the destruction of those that reject him especially followers of Spode, shamans and scientists (whom he has a particular distaste for because they reject the very concept of him). His powers stem from feasting on the souls and flesh of sapient beings which are offered as sacrifices by his followers. Many scholars theorise that, were these sacrifices to stop, the powers of Dagon would soon shrivel away to nothing.

Monikers and 'Aliases'
Dagon has gone by many names in his aeons of existance. These have included but are by no means limited to:


 * The Murky One
 * The Dark Ancient
 * The Lord of the Deep
 * Dra'Dagoth (Great water-creature)
 * The Deep One
 * He of Eternal Slumber
 * The Blessed Night
 * The Void
 * Dagoth'Ur
 * Dago dra'Demona (Great Demon of the Deep)
 * R'skar Dagoth (as the 'prophet' of the Harks people)

Avatars
Dagon has taken different forms during his time in the Galaxy. His most famous was the form he took after revealing himself to the Harks. He appeared as one of them, though almost twice the size of a normal Harks with blood-red eyes and large sharp horns and a far darker skin colour (almost black)and calling himself R'skar Dagoth. Using this form he led them from incoherant collection of squabbling tribes to the unified, unstoppable war machine that they are today. He has also appeared as a large midnight black creature consisting entirely of shadowy mist, and most recently, as a black hole which swallowed a number of planets belonging to the Turekhie Empire
