Lesser Old Ones

The Lesser Old Ones are a classification used by some for a number of entities that "rule" the servitor races of the Great Old Ones.

• Naggoob, who "rules" the ghouls for Nyogtha
• Quumyagga, who rules the shantaks

• Rlim Shaikorth, who "rules" the Cold Ones for Aphoom Zhah

Comments

This classification was proposed by Lin Carter; few Cthulhu Mythos authors have paid much heed to it.
