Physical Description
Body Features
Azathoth's appearance can not be comprehended in its true form by any mortal or, likely, any god without a complete shattering of their psyche. In addition, whatever a being is able to comprehend of Azathoth is unreliable as a description because his form is always shifting, molding, and changing. Depictions of Azathoth range from a twenty-foot monster to a sentient tear in reality.
Special abilities
As an Outer God, Azathoth is more than capable of inducing insanity in weak-willed mortals. As the Daemon Sultan, he is also capable of breaking the minds of divine figures as well. In addition, he is capable of changing reality with a single thought.

Personal history
Azathoth's history is almost entirely shrouded in mystery. It is believed by most that he has existed as long as the universe. After existing for unknowable eons, Azathoth birthed new entities, these being the Outer Gods, which spread across the Far Realm and the cosmos. These Outer Gods created more Outer Gods which in turn spawned the Great Old Ones. All of these beings revered their progenitor, and Azathoth ruled creation. These actions were not without consequence, however. The creation of that many beings of power drew the attention of beings known as the Elder Gods. The Elder Gods waged a costly war against Azathoth and his progeny, resulting in the incapacitation of Azathoth, the scattering of his kin, and the weakening and imprisonment of the Great Old Ones.
Since his loss at the hands of the Elder Gods, Azathoth has laid dreaming in the Far Realm, influencing reality through his dreams. Many posit that he is indeed what holds together all of the universe and reality, and thus that awakening him could cause existence to unravel, though these claims have not been tested. His spawn and cults seek vengeance for their loss and either scheme to take it directly or through the awakening of Azathoth. Regardless, his return has been prophesized, though in what state it is not yet known. It is said that Azathoth is kept asleep by the maddening music of daemonic piping. It is believed by some that the flute held by this nameless cosmic musician is the key to awakening the sleeping god.
