Editing Dagon

{{stub}}

'''Dagon''' is an ancient deity originally associated with the sea, but now believed to have been a god of agriculture and fertility. He achieved /tg/-related noteriety when [[H.P. Lovecraft]] was inspired by him; one of his first ever published short stories, called "Dagon", presented the deity as a monstrous piscine humanoid who foretold the inevitable destruction of the surface world and the claiming of the surface by the sea. From these roots, Dagon would go on to become a [[giant]]-sized demigod ruler of the [[Deep Ones]], a lesser Great Old One in the [[Cthulu Mythos]], from which all of his /tg-related media has arisen.

Whilst most associated with the [[Call of Cthulhu]] games and its offshoots, such as [[Delta Green]] and [[Cthulhutech]], Lovecraft's Dagon also went on to inspire [[Gary Gygax]], who incorporated him into [[Dungeons & Dragons]] canon as a [[Demon Prince]]. In this role, he since migrated on to [[Pathfinder]] as well.
