Y’Golonac is just one of those Cthulhu Mythos creatures that you might not identify immediately, but you will not soon forget. Y’Gonolac is a late Lovecraftian creation that keeps up with the raw, powerful horror of H.P. Lovecraft’s early cosmic terror stories. The bloated, headless, and neckless human figure with a human mouth was originally featured in Ramsey Campbell’s “Cold Print” in 1969. He has appeared in a lot of video games and fan art.
According to Lovecraftian mythology, Y’Golonac is mentioned in the Revelations of Gla’aki. Despite being imprisoned behind a brick wall, this figure may be awakened by just reading the phrase Y’Gonolac in the book of Revelations. When the conjurer is summoned, he will request that the person who summons him become his priest. If the human denies this chance, the beast will just eat him. “He comes forth to be worshipped or to feed and take on the shape and soul of those he feeds upon…” God of perversion and depravity, Y’Golonac the Defiler.
Y’Golonac represents any kind of depravity that any sentient creature may fathom. Y’Golonac is unlike most of Lovecraft’s gods and monsters. He comprehends human emotions and intentions. Y’Golonac has enough understanding to converse with possible infected humans or servants.
When Y’Golonac’s name is spoken, he understands enough to respond. In addition, Y’Golonac, with demonic characteristics since is considered a figure of perversion and wickedness. The creature’s level of evil intent, on the other hand, is more cosmic than any ordinary demon dealing with humans. Y’Golonac is deserving of the title of ‘Great Old One’, given his cosmic degree of abstraction.
The great British horror writer Ramsey Campbell initially brought ‘ Y’Golonas’ and the murky mist of wonder and destruction of the Cthulhu Mythos to the public eye.
Nyarlathotep can express many things in the Mythology regarding perversion and atrocity his mocking machinations may come to mind first, but acolytes of Lloiger inflict disturbing injuries on victims for a reason, and typically suffer great personal mutilation for failing to achieve that goal. And as for Nyarlathotep, there’s frequently the gleam of hope inside the horrors he unwinds like a silk noose all around the neck and legs of the unsuspecting – only to evaporate when the ultimate trap snaps into a lethal climax.
Y’Golonac’s actions are motivated by the most primitive kind of ancient Evil with a capital E. The creature seeks to indulge in an orgy of excessive sensory input, such as terrible violence performed out for its sheer joy, similar to demonic possession. Torture is used to inflict misery, agony, enslavement, and complete dominance for no reason other than to feed off the energy emitted by nerve endings and throbbing emotions. Exploring perversion leads to bestial deeds. Y’golonac, on the other hand, takes things to a new level.
Game masters and storytellers should also consider the nature and usage of Y’golonac’s sexual organs. Suppose you do have Evil in your heart and read the term Y’golonac in the correct scriptures. In that case, a conduit is immediately opened to the area where Y’golonac is imprisoned, waiting with patient anger for moments like this to stroll out and do devastation.
For humans, its entrance is ethereal, a spirit, a voice, until the crazy who summoned it is killed or taken possession of. Possession causes a hideous transformation: as the body expands, the skull caves in and fades away, and a savagely fanged mouth springs out in the palm of each hand. The red alert here- it is said that anyone bitten by such a hand-mouth suffers from severe nightmares and anxiety attacks for the rest of their lives.
There is no bargaining with Y’golonac, no appealing to a thread of human vanity, and no mercy in its purest form. Y’golonac is not afraid to think or contemplate something. It is quick, violent, and unyielding.
That’s not to suggest that Y’Golonac isn’t a cosmic nightmare. Strutt, the protagonist of Cold feet, meets his end in the same way, as most humans who come in contact with Cthulhu Mythos abominations. Strutt’s face is the first to be consumed. Before he could shout, his breath was taken away, as the hands fell on his head and the moist crimson lips in their palms opened.
Y’Golonac’s Cult
Y’Golonac has a modest cult and is regarded as a minor deity in the larger scheme of things. Unlike certain Old Ones, he aspires to form a cult and responds whenever someone says his name in the Severn valley, when darkness is prevalent, at least if they’re near Brichester. He is on the lookout for devotees who are both nasty and cunning. If Y’Golonac comes across such a person, he can take them and assume their shape. Y’Golonac also appears to be able to take the appearance of a bloated, neurotic humanoid being, according to some stories.
Y’golozac Summoned By Reading His Name In The Revelations of Gla’aki
In the mysterious ruins, Y’golonac is trapped behind a brick wall. His natural form is unknown, but when he takes on a human host, he manifests as a hideously obese man with no head or neck and a mouth in each hand’s palm. Unlike other gods, Y’Golonac can comprehend humanity to the point that he can discuss in English with his human host.
Y’Golonac seeks humans who study wicked and forbidden literature to become his minions. When called, Y’golonac offers the summoner the honor and privilege to become his priest or murders him for nourishment.
Between 1800 and 1865, cult members of Gla’aki on Mercy Hill wrote a 12-volume book in English. The book is in pieces, with one cult member trying to pick up where another left off, and it covers Gla’aki, Y’Golonac, Daoloth, and Great Old Ones’ adoration, powers, and techniques.
What Makes Y’Golonac Pure Evil?
Y’golonac is a being from the Cthulhu Mythos, also called the Defiler or the God of Depravity and Perversion. Ramsey Campbell invented him, and he originally appeared in the short story Cold Print. One of the Great Old Ones is the source of this horrible living presence.
He deceived many people and developed a cult enrolling individuals who read illegal books to break the stone wall in his region and release himself from his captivity and assault and kill everything in his way. Y’golonac then tricks his victim into reading a passage of The Revelation of Gla’aki that contains his name, ‘ Y’golonac’ after being summoned. He would ask them to be his priest and then eat them. Y’golonac has done this so many times that he enjoys the victims who have surrendered to his hunger, sometimes they are youngsters or even children.
Y’golonac took over a bookshop after gruesomely murdering the proprietor and stealing his skin in the short tale, Cold Print. When Y’golonac meets Mr. Strutt, he tries to persuade the short story’s narrator to become his priest. Mr. Strutt, was understandably terrified by the idea, he refuses, and he becomes one of Y’Golonac’s many victims!
