books Underrated Cthulhu Mythos beings

[Grtxkkyz 388]

As we know, the Cthulhu mythos have given us lots of recognizable monstrous deities and beings, including Cthulhu himself, Nyarlathotep and Azathoth to name a few. However, there have been many characters added to the mythos that often get overlooked or are not remembered very fondly. Which Cthulhu mythos abominations do you think are underrated or should get more love? I'll name a few examples:

*Yig, father of serpents: He's a sinister snake god, what's not to love?

*Chaugnar Faugn: Evil vampire elephant/human demonic hybrid

*Bokrug: The great water lizard

*Ghatanothoa: Cthulhu's son, he even showed up in Ultraman Tiga

*Zoth-Ommog: Another son of Cthulhu, he's like a T.Rex headed octopus.

HOW has this thread not gotten more love by now?!

 

I just finished "The Mound" which was my first encounter with Yig. Quite a read, but subtly terrifying in all of the right ways.

 

Off the top of my head I can't think of particular beings/Elder Gods who need more attention, but I definitely have a few favorite stories.
