Hastur

Hastur is a fictional entity originating from the works of H.P. Lovecraft and later expanded by other writers, often depicted as an cosmic or eldritch force embodying chaos and madness. In literature, Hastur is associated with themes of forbidden knowledge, surreal influence, and existential dread, often existing beyond human comprehension. Some stories portray Hastur as a malevolent presence or a deity-like figure, sometimes linked to an ancient, mysterious city called Carcosa. Its portrayal emphasizes the limits of human understanding when confronted with the vast, incomprehensible universe, serving as a symbol of cosmic horror.
