Azathoth, the Daemon Sulton

(a.k.a. The Blind Idiot God, Nuclear Chaos, Daemon Sultan, Abyssal Idiot, Lord of All, Him in the Gulf, The Deep Dark, The Cold One, Sleeping Chaos, Supreme Lord and Creator of All Things, Blind Dreamer, Achamoth, Vach-Viraj)

"[O]utside the ordered universe [is] that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes." ~ HPL , The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath
The Blind Idiot God, the great Daemon Sultan, the Nuclear Chaos. He sleeps eternally at the center of all things. We are all but dreams of the last of the race of Azathoth. If he should ever wake, all of the known existence would disappear instantly, leaving the Crawling Chaos alone in the universe once more.
The Sleeper. Constantly kept in slumber by the beating of tom-toms and the piping of a mad, equally daemonic flute player.
"... ancient legends of Ultimate Chaos, at whose center sprawls the blind idiot god Azathoth, Lord of All Things, encircled by his flopping horde of mindless and amorphous dancers, and lulled by the thin monotonous piping of a demoniac flute held in nameless paws." ~ HPL , The Haunter of the Dark

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

There can be no definite description of Azathoth because everybody envisions him differently and he is always changing. There is evidence the physical manifestation of Azathoth in the universe is continuous with a spot in the central region of the galaxy, otherwise known as Sagittarius A* - the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy. For example Ronald Shea enters a temple after visiting the forest near Goatswood and discovers a twenty-foot idol that "represented the god Azathoth--Azathoth as he had been before his exile. Outside, It consisted of a bivalvular shell supported on many pairs of flexible legs. From the half-open shell rose several jointed cylinders, tipped with polypous appendages; and in the darkness inside the shell I thought I saw a horrible bestial, mouthless face, with deep-sunk eyes and covered with glistening black hair."   Later Shae sees "something ooze into the corridor--a pale grey shape, expanding and crinkling, which glistened and shook gelatinously as still-moving particles dropped free; but it was only a glimpse"
