Y'Golonac
Y'Golonac is a Great Old One in the fictional Cthulhu Mythos. Known as "The Defiler", he (it?) is a god of perversion and depravity, not just sexual perversion/depravity, but any perversions or deprivations that can be conceived of by sentient minds (sane or otherwise). Y'Golonac is sometimes summoned simply by reading his name (not reading out loud, merely reading). His demeanor is much like that of Nyarlathotep, but with greater disdain and malice.
He is quasi-human in appearance - the figure of a grotesquely obese man (perhaps due to his excess matter taking form) lacking a head or neck (but having a face), and with a mouth in the palm of each hand.
His first appearance was in the story Cold Print by Ramsey Campbell.
