Appearance
Mgachyt' most often takes the form of a giant serpent made out of stars and celetial material, sometimes appearing to pull right out of the sky and space itself. It is described as often carrying a ethereal and dream-like quality to it, glimmering with thousands of stars both real and imaginary.Sometimes, Mgachyt' is said to appear as a humanoid made out of similar space-stuff, with flowing hair filled with galaxies and smooth, unusually featureless traits.
Personality
Mgachyt' is kind and benevolent, happy to help mortals and patient with their requests and needs. It has never been known to act out in hostility or even particularly fight, even to those attacking it. Mgachyt' prefers diplomacy and to make friends with those it encounters, and is saddened by those who don't feel the same. It sees life and mortals as delightful and worth saving, even if they are by no means unique in the universe. It cherishes the transient and does not harbor the same detachment to Aanrah as many other outsiders do.Powers & Domain
Mgachyt' has power over stars, and is said to be able to even re-arrange some. It is often called upon by navigators and astronomers in order to better understand the universe or better navigate.History
Like the other elder gods and most outsiders, little is known about Mgachyt's history. It is thought to be younger than Artiteng'h & Kht'oth, but likely at least older then Mglw'nochyt'.Religion & Dogma

Those seeking to contact Mgachyt' are rarely looking for power or have malicious intents - and similarly, Mgachyt' is known for being genuinely benevolent and rarely acting in any way it would deem harmful.

Relationships
History
Mgachyt' and Põmmokkuk are close lovers. The two greatly enjoy each other's company, and are doting and affectionate to one another.
History
Mgachyt' and Mglw'nochyt' consider each other allies as elder gods, but even that label is only held together by Kht'oth's presence. The two elder gods depise each other, and only Kht'oth's iron fist keeps the two from starting anything serious between each other. They frequently bicker though, and cannot be left to complete anything together without Kht'oth's interference.
History
Mgachyt' and Emrul consider each other allies as outsiders, but rarely interact. Despite their frequent overlap in worshippers and positions in societies, the two don't particularly care for each other. While their relationship is far from hostile, their opinions and interactions with mortals differ enough that they prefer the company of others over each other. Despite Mgachyt's seniority, Emrul does not usually defer to them as their senior, and Mgachyt' isn't particularly bothered by this.
