Editing The Galchutt (section)

==The Galchutt themselves==
The Galchutt can be divided into two categories: the unique, and the Galchutt races. The unique are rather self-explanatory and they're usually on par with [[Demon Prince]]s, and the races are just those Galchutt of whom there are groups of.

===Abhoth===
'''Abhoth, the Source of All Uncleanliness''', is one of the deities from [[Clark Ashton Smith]]'s Hyperborea cycle. Here he's the patron of the zaug and revered by The Plagueborn. The ratmen of Ptolus worship him in the guise of the ''Rat God''.

===Baalhazor===
'''Baalhazor, the Demon God of Technology''', is the one who holds dominion over chaositech. Originally he was one of the Vested of the Galchutt, but managed to gain divinity of some sort afterwards. Beings intrigued by chaositech often worship him. In 3rd edition, [[cleric]]s have access to Technology [[Cleric Domain|domain]] instead of destruction, and in 5th edition they have access to Death and Technology.

===Bhor Kei===
'''Bhor Kei, the Eye of the Legion''', is an entity of rage, power, and tireless destruction. Some believe that it represents the destructive thoughts of many beings, while others say that all beings slain by it are bound to follow it forever as ghosts from which it draws its terrible strength and power. It appears as humanoid with flesh that shimmers like polished steel, four massive arms that end in huge claws that resemble serrated cleavers, and a long, pointed face, with eyes that glisten deeply green.

===Gorgoth-Lol===
{{Main|Gorgoth-Lol}}
'''Gorgoth-Lol''' was also originally one of the Vested of the Galchutt, but eventually became the goddess of [[drow|dark elves]] of Praemal.

===Kihomenetoth===
'''Kihomenethoth, the Writhing One''', is the only one of the Galchutt still mainly aware what's happening around them. He was the one in charge of their mortal followers when the Galchutt were active. He appears a massive pillar of writhing tentacles and serpents with eyes.

===Nyogtha===
'''Nyogtha, the Thing That Should Not Be''' is one of the [[Old Ones|Great Old Ones]] from [[H.P. Lovecraft|Lovecraft]]'s writings.

===Shallamoth Kindred===
'''Shallamoth Kindred, the Dweller in the Darkness''', is the closest thing the Galchutt have to a leader, as it's often described leading the other races in battle. Most describe it as the act of mutilation and destruction given life, and some say that it was born from the end of another universe, and that this is merely it trying to continue its reproductive cycle. It has two forms, both of which are completely emotionless. In the first form, it appears as a tall and lithe, completely black humanoid, with dagger-shaped eyes that are yellow-brown. The second form is that of a squirming mass of ropy tendrils covering an obese, pox-ridden, bulbous, decaying, vaguely humanoid body with vestigial, bat-like wings hanging limply behind it.

===Slaachma'jur===
'''Slaachma'jur, the Touch of Mutation, and the One Who Is Many''', is only mentioned by name, but may be affiliated with the Ebon Hand.

===Sothoth===
'''Sothoth, the Key and the Gate''', is just an obvious reference to Lovecraft.

===The Galchutt Races===
The [[daemon]]s to the chaos gods above, they are:

*'''Carach''' (both singular and plural) are the [[assassin]]s and enforcers of the Galchutt. They have an insectoid body from which a long, muscular neck that ends in tentacles grows. The tentacles surround a mouth full of teeth, with two small eyes on the sides, and four of the tentacles are particularly long and end in spikes.
*'''Dhar Rhyth''' are sentient holes that lead to a dimension filled with squirming worm-like beings, intent on reducing all to nothingness. They're usually vaguely man-shaped, and sometimes mistaken for humanoids covered in tendrils or [[Worm That Walks|made of worms]].
*'''Shaadom''' (both singular and plural) are the closest equivelant to the [[Lord of Change|lords of change]], in that they are powerful chaos spellcasters and plotters. They represent individuality taken to the utmost extremes of obsession and selfishness, to the point where they see only enemies and rivals. They appear as floating, hulking humanoids with two muscular, three-fingered arms, an arachnid-like head, and short, wide tentacles below its torso.
*'''Vreeth''' are what remain of powerful chaos cultists after they were taken from the mortal realms and altered by the Galchutt. Unable to do nothing but serve and worship the higher concepts of deep chaos, they sometimes serve as the masterminds behind chaos cults, but they mainly spend their time performing continuous rituals and ceremonies to bring the end of the world. At first they look like empty, tattered, hooded cloaks floating in the air, but closer inspection reveals numerous tentacles hanging from beneath the cloaks edge.
*'''Zaug''' are the equivalent of [[Great Unclean Ones]], massive, disease-ridden, rotting humanoids with horns and rotten, vestigial wings who love spreading disease and decay. Most zaug rebelled when the Galchutt shed their forms, seeking to rule over existence rather than destroy it. The only way to hurt them is by casting healing magic on them.
*'''The Elder Brood''' are the daemonic beasts of the Galchutt that comprise at least half a dozen different beings. Only two are known, the obaan, bat-winged clumps of tentacles with beaks born from the blood of shaadom, and the sscree, toad-like beings with two clawed feet and tentacles that end in mouths.
