Dagon

Dagon is an old one who presides over the Deep Ones, an amphibious humanoid race indigenous to Earth's oceans. Also known as Father Dagon and the consort of Mother Hydra, although they are Deities, they are generally not considered Great Old Ones. Dagon is an enormous specimen of Deep One that has been mentioned in texts since ancient times. He is worshipped as a deity by a devout cult of both humans and Deep Ones. It may also be that there has been more than one gigantic specimen of Deep Ones who could have been confused with or mistaken for the original Dagon. All Deep Ones continue to grow slowly after they reach maturity, provided that they have access to enough nourishment. In fact, there are ancient Dagon-related carvings that display what appear to be several gigantic Deep Ones wrestling with whales.
