Atlach Nacha • God of Spiders

Atlach-Nacha is a Great Old One and god of spiders. Atlach-Nacha appears as a giant spider with a human-like face, and on rare occasion as a beautiful, multi-armed woman. It dwells in a cave system beneath Mount Voormithadreth. According to later Chaosium material, Atlach-Nacha's web is a bridge between the Dreamlands and the waking world. It is believed that when the web is complete, the end of the world will come.

"The dark form ran toward him with incredible swiftness. When it came near he saw that there was a kind of face on the squat ebon body, low down amid the several-jointed legs. The face peered up with a weird expression of doubt and inquiry; and terror crawled through the veins of the bold huntsman as he met the small, crafty eyes that were circled about with hair"
~Clark Ashton Smith

Amon •

Amon, or Aamon, great and powerful marquis of the infernal empire. He has the face of a wolf, with a snake's tail; he vomits flame; when he takes human form, he has only the body of man; his head resembles that of an owl and his beak shows very reckless canine teeth. He is the most solid of the princes of demons. He knows the past and the future, and reconciles, when he wants, the friends scrambled. He commanded forty legions. The Egyptians saw Amon or Amoun, their supreme God; they represented him with blue skin, in a fairly human form. He commands 40 legions of demons and carries the title of Prince. He reconciles friends and foes and procures love for those seeking it. The Egyptians viewed Amon or Amun as their supreme God; they represented him with blue skin in human form.
