The Great Old

The Great Old Ones are a fictional category of ancient, powerful, and often malevolent beings from H.P. Lovecraft's mythos.

These beings are typically indifferent or hostile to humanity, representing the unknown and the unknowable aspects of the universe. Their presence or influence often triggers fear, madness, or destruction in stories. In essence, they embody the idea that there are forces and realities beyond human comprehension that can threaten existence itself.
