Not according . To .
Death May Die .
Sathagua .
Sathagua , sathagua . To Sathagua To Sathagua .
Actually , let's sathagua to sathagua to sathagua we're gonna make Mike try and pronounce it , and then we tell him how it is pronounced so he's sathagua figure out how to fucking spell it .
I want you to follow along , mike , during this whole thing and there's actually a handful of names that hopefully Jason will catch the cue . But during this whole thing and there's actually a handful of names that , uh , hopefully jason can like we'll catch the cue . But uh like , as we're reading through , I'm gonna just stop and I'm all .
I'm gonna just be like all right , mike , you say it hell yeah , I love a good quiz I have tried to put multiple different spellings into google and it's tried to correct me multiple several times and it's like I don't fucking know right now I'm what did you start with ? Well , I just sounded it out s-a-t-h-a-g-o-o-a-s-a-t-h-a-g-o-o-a . Well , it starts with a t .
It does start with a t . Okay , that's probably where I'm going around . We'll give you that one . Prince Satagood Facebook .
Again .
A lot of these names . I just want to preface all of this . I don't know the . I don't know what the correct Pronunciations are , to be fair .
Here's a better preface , which is Humans are actually not meant to Be able to say these names .
That's why they all sound so fucked there , there , there is , and if I had to say it , uh , there is um , a couple ways to say this , and it's sathagu from what I've heard . I should say um , and then there's Sathugua .
Mm-hmm .
I don't really care , or how Mike said it T Sathaguagua Old .
Sath Old Guga .
Old Sath .
Old Guga , old Guga .
Is there more to this guy than just his fucked up name ? Oh damn it .
We just did this for 21 minutes .
That's the whole episode , Matt I meant to grab my .
I have a little mini figure of this guy . Oh yeah fuck , he's a fat little bitch .
He's a fucking , he's a fat zitty pimply bat frog Well tell us more .
He's got some tits .
He's got some fat tits on him . He's got some big old titties .
Yeah , tell's , just get just a straight intro on Seth Agua . So they're also known as the Sleeper of N'Kai . I'm sure that's not how you say that , but that's fine . He's in a . That scared the ever-loving shit out of me , boy , holy fuck .
Lissa just scared the shit out of me . I thought you were going to tell me .
Dude , I think Mike and I we went to the same place like , holy fuck , someone just broke in and you are so dead , we're living it sorry , hold hold please you getting the old bat frog out batty froggy okay , so this little guy ? Yeah , look at those oh he do got some boobies on him . Oh , he's got some tits . Those them areolas .
They cover some fucking ground .
I'm assuming Lissa's listening , so thank you , lissa yeah , she is , and it's actually really funny when I went out there on our little break . Um , when you put the like be right back screen up , it's just . It's just you guys talking , yeah , yeah and uh , I thought it was oh yeah anyways . So so that's uh fat tits mcgee's ex um .
So he's uh obviously a fictional entity in the cthulhu mythos . The character was created by Clark Ashton Smith for his series of short stories the Hyperborean Circle . And if you didn't know where Hyperborea is , it's present day Greenland .
It's .
Antarctica , and I really .
No , it's Greenland , so Greenland do you mean red , white and blue ? Yeah , it's that blue area . Do you mean red ?
white and blue . Don't topical . May mike don't stop topical . No , we don't talk about red , white and blue land , all right so it's stupid anyway . Go all right anyways .
So , uh , yeah , various pieces of this have actually been used by lovecraft , even though it wasn't created by him , which is actually really cool , because most of the time we see a lot of Lovecraft stuff being used by other artists and not the other way around .
But that's the cool thing about the Lovecraft or the Cthulhu mythos is that everyone can make things and use things and do whatever they want with it .
Yeah , essentially so did he pull it straight from the 3.5 handbook or like yes ?
so seth agua is described as an old one um , a godlike being , from that that pantheon um , and he first appears in a story called the tale of santampra zero um , and that was written in 1929 .
And basically it came out in a 1931 issue of Weird Tales , which is pretty cool because that's where like Call of Cthulhu was published and At the Mountains of Madness was like introduced . So like if you ever find one of these magazines .
You're sitting on a fucking gold mine , by the way , so that's really cool and I'm always on the lookout for that shit when I go thrifting , but either way , his first appearance in print , however , was in HP Lovecraft's story the Whisper in the Darkness , and that was written in 1930 and also published in 1931 . Two weird tales , of course , published in 1931 .
Um , two weird tales , of course .
So , uh , lovecraft mentions him in nine different stories , not counting an unfinished , fragmented one that would later become the lurker at the threshold , um and this makes the most , one of the most mentioned deities in the lovecraft fiction , which is kind of cool um , tied with yogsathoth , uh , and losing uh to , of course , nair lathotep to he's the most stories ,
yeah um and it's the money and shub's 11 stories , the black .
So yeah , sathagu is , is is , uh , only not the only one of those like giants that haven't wasn't created by lovecraft , um , like shub , and uh , yeah , never appears physically in lovecraft stories , except for the mention of a wax sculpture in the horror , uh , in the museum , which is kind of interesting . Um , you want to ?
You want to give a description on what this do I have ?
to talk about what this fucking thing looks like . I mean , you've got the the , you have one iteration . I will say that if you guys haven't picked up on something yet , it's that all of these entities and beings have multiple ways to present themselves to whoever they want reminds me of the getrog monster with wings .
Yes , oh my god shit , he is the getrog . It's the getrog monster . It's a colored picture . I don't know if it's coming up very well or not .
Yeah , the Spotify guys are going to love it .
If you're listening to this on Spotify , grow up .
It's like if Jabba the Hutt had legs Big , meaty , powerful legs . I just love how fat his tits are . They're so large In almost every iteration they're like every huge boobs big old boobies , definite mommy milkers fucking honking and there ain't no milk in them suckers . That's where the whole circle on . Unimaginable is yeah wiggity , wham , wham , wazzle , um .
So yeah , uh , sathagu , um . The first description of this motherfucker uh in the mythos is when , oh my god , when was this ? This was , uh , the tale of zatampra zai . Zeros , um , that word first description happens in that , and it's it's when they this was the tale of Zatampra Zairos .
That word First description happens in that , and it's when they encounter one of this entity's idols . Now , I know I said I would mention fucking Mountains of Madness . One of the outcroppings that holds a shrine to Yig is basically polar opposite to another one that's been destroyed .
That one is also one of these shrines that would have um an idol in it for worship um which one ?
was it randy jackson or simon ? Which idol ? Simon ? Simon powell or which ? Yeah , I mean yeah , I'm in simon powell yeah or the other one , the lady whose name I forgot . This famous singer . Wait , no , it's colin powell . Sorry , colin powell . Yeah , it's colin powell .
Okay , simon powell , herschel walker , I don't know . Yeah , yeah , yeah , whose name I forgot . It's famous singer . Wait , no , sorry , colin Powell .
Yeah , it's Colin Powell , okay , Simon Powell , herschel Walker ? I don't know . Yeah , so this is the description that we get from the tale of Zatampra Zeros . He was very squat and pot bellied .
His head was more like a monstrous toad than a deity and his whole body was covered with an imitation of short fur , giving somehow a vague sensation of both bat and the sloth . His sleepy lids were half lowered over his globular eyes , the tip of a queer tongue issued from his fat mouth .
They just like went in on this guy .
This is like this is this is like the DK rap all over again . Like this is they're just shitting on him . Like just absolutely shitting on him . Like , have you ever seen a fat idiot ?
Well , have you seen a stupid motherfucker that's fat and has tits and is furry Um and another story uh called the seven gasesasses um , yeah , so dear hey zoomer , fans , here we are um , so this is actually , this is yeah there's actually a lot of there's a lot of information in this , uh , this little passage , um , and that's as long as you know anything about
the history , the timeline of the Cthulhu Mythos , which is honestly the very first thing that we went over in this little mini-series we do .
So if you want to know , more same .
It gives a guide map . And if you do want to go back and reference that a little bit more . It's going to come up in this description . I need to go back and reference it
¶ The Lazy, Lurking Deity
. Same From the seven ghiases you must win to that secret cave in the bowels of vormithadreth . I know we talked about vormithadreth . Yeah , obviously we did , obviously we haven't done the vormi yet , but we have not . We've talked about the planet , though , for sure . Yeah , um , beyond the dens wherein abides , from elder most eons , the God Sathagua .
You shall know Sathagua by his great girth and his bat like furriness . Right now we're talking the look of a sleepy black toad which he has eternally . He will rise not from his place and come , he will rise , not from his place , even in the ravening of hunger , but will wait in divine slothfulness for the sacrifice .
Um , so that actually this is a very , very telling passage about , like what this motherfucker is all about it's just a lazy frog sloth , so sathagu is often found sleeping . That's on , that's his like default almost every time yes , um , he's very fucking lazy .
Refuses to leave his chambers unless actually like mortally threatened , like his life's in danger um , it'd be like another elder god , would be like the only reason to make him leave .
Pretty much , yeah this is if nibbler had the , the political sway of like a , just a god , like . That's what this is cute , fuzzy , very fat , unfortunately not like nibbler , but doesn't do much kind of sleeps and bums around . If somebody wakes him up , well , that's his next meal does he take like oh you woke me up .
Thousand pound shits I would hope so , based on his fucking girth . He is known for his girth .
Yeah , they did say that .
And a girthy boy has a girthy poop , I think . How many Keurigs does he have ? How many ? What Keurigs ? How many Keurigs does he have ?
I don't fucking know how many Keurigs can you shove up there .
Take that , multiply it by 7.3 , and you got your number .
I got at least 15 Kecas riding around in my colon right now .
Unpunctured .
Just waiting for a rush .
I just kind of squeeze and pop one of them if I'm feeling a little tired .
It's like those poppable menthol cigarettes . You're just like ooh , I'll take a little .
Oh my God , I forgot about those . Oh boy , 9 am . So if you wake Seth and go up , you are his next meal . However , if you wake him up but you bring a sacrifice , he goes you know what ? Okay , at least you tried and instead of you he devours the sacrifice instead . But that is basically this whole thing's fucking life .
It sleeps but I I took out a part of this section that I thought was kind of funny , but it was too long and didn't make sense . But I just want to mention that there was one instance where somebody brought someone for him to eat and Seth Agua hated the guy so much that he ate him instead .
I let the sacrifice live . Yeah , oh , that's fucking great why are they ?
do they get anything for sacrificing someone to Seth Agua ? It's like an offering essentially . Yeah , it's an . Why are they like ?
do they get anything for sacrificing someone to ?
well sometimes they're offering essentially yeah , like it's it's in .
Just like every sacrifice , ritual sacrifice that you might offer to a deity , they're doing it in hopes that this deity will give them so now my crops will be okay he'll give you like magic and shit like he would give you yeah , he gives you actual shit . What do I have to sacrifice ?
to get a suckle of some of that teat what I don't think you have to sacrifice just some sanity , I think , what will I have to sacrifice ?
for him to help me get these cake ups out of my head . Uh , he'll suck them right out um , oh fuck where was ?
I right , eats whoever awakened him , otherwise he's a sacrifice . Blah , blah , um . So have we talked about robert price ? I'm pretty sure his name has come up a couple of times . Oh , I know , there's
so many just like generic will , hansons and shit .
Yeah .
Stories .
Robert Price is a is a if . If HP , lovecraft is the scribe , uh , robert Price is one of the scribes , apostles Like they're . He basically took on a lot of work . Um , when it comes to adding to the Lovecraft mythos , you're going to see his name all over the place . Um , he does note that Lovecraft , sathagua and smiths differ at practically every point .
So , smith , another lovecraftian , uh , cthulhu mythos contributor um has taken upon himself to give his own set of rules to sathagua . I will say that's not really breaking many rules , because not many rules were given for sathagua . Just that he's fat , he is a bat and he's a frog . Like that's pretty much the three things that we know about sathagua .
And he's lazy , I guess . Um , so lovecraft . Um , after after we hear these bat and sloth comparisons , um , we look at the how it was presented in the whisper , in the darkness um lovecraft was like hold my beer , guys oh yeah , he's just like hold , you guys are not doing this correctly . Hold on , this is what . This is what sathago is .
Sathago is an amorphous , toad-like god creature mentioned in the uh necotic manuscripts and the Necronomicon . However , both Lovecraft and Smith portray Seth as capable of shapeshifting . Fucking weird , I know right , it's almost like every fucking being in this mythos can shapeshift .
That seems to be the go-to ability .
That's how they hide . That's how they make sure that they can get intel on what's happening on Earth , the place with the hidden Yacoubian cube , the all important planet in the universe , all spark it's .
it's basically the same thing , um that's actually funny that you mentioned that um , so in the story , uh , the horror in the museum , um , it's a , it's , this was a story that was actually ghost written by lovecraft .
Uh , he didn't write it , but he did give pretty much every detail when it , uh , he expressed what he wanted and then it was given to him by some unknown person . Um , it was written that black , black Sathagua molded itself from a toad like gargoyle , into a sinuous line with hundreds of rudimentary feet .
So some very , very there's some details that come up differently the hundreds of feet , the fur covering the whole thing , frog like mouth . A lot of these are very , very similar and very fundamental when it comes to describing Sathagua . Sathagua is capable of communicating with humans .
Thank fucking God , he knows English , can't wait to talk to this thing , including its cultists , obviously , and occasionally rewards them for their services by offering occult knowledge or gifts such as presenting oh fuck , what is this ?
Does he let them know about discounts ? Chili's has two for one margaritas on tuesdays , perfect , and they're like here's a child , he's a child , yeah and you get two margaritas for the price of one child , gives him the coupon , right ?
um , so , uh , yeah , so in the story , the door to saturn , um , this is uh , there's a , there's a device that do I even . I don't think I should even go over much of this . I'd have to go over the whole fucking story and I'm not going to do that .
Um , you don't know that it's . The story is fucking wild though , but it is um I'm , I'm .
I don't think we should touch on it , because that's going to just open a can of worms and ask more questions than it answers .
I made this one kind of long and I was like almost thinking about like putting in a bunch of little blurbs about some of this other stuff . But I was like no , no .
I think the important stuff is that he's a fat bat frog covered in hair . I will say it's not agreed upon whether Sathagua communicates with speech or telepathy . Um , it might be a combination of both . All we know is that whenever Sathagua speaks , whoever is hearing him can understand what he is saying , as long as the message is intended for that person .
Um so like , just for example , when it speaks to one person , they hear a quote , unquote deep , rumbling sound , but knew not whether it reverberated the dusky air or their own mind , and the sound shaped itself , albeit uncouthly , into syllables and words . This is also an excerpt from the seven Giyases , other forms .
As a god , sethaku can alter his shape the better to adapt to whatever environment he is in when dwelt on . Uh , jesus Christ , psychronauts , it's a planet . It's another name for Saturn , the old name for Saturn . What ? was named before we named it Right Was psychronauts , um , also from the story door to Saturn , um , this next name that's coming up .
This is all , mike right .
I want .
Mike to say this is Mike . So from this story we kind of glean that he possibly , quite possibly , might look more like his paternal uncle by the name , his paternal uncle , let me get my cheaters on it's like the last line .
His , his let me get my cheaters on .
It's like the last line . You can't just say this first syllable over and over again . I'm trying not to .
I don't know , because Quagmaza .
Quagmaza . So Quagmaza , how close am I ? I don't know , because human tongues are not meant to pronounce this word .
You tricked me . You tricked me , I'm cursed or something .
I will let you know just a little bit about this thing . It looks like balls that have those little handles that you had as a kid and you would like jump and like bounce on them .
Yeah , it's kind of like that . No , it's a big inflatable ball .
Like you'd sit on it , but it has a handle . Oh yeah , it looks like that .
It's like a big ball with a long-ass head and like bug arms . Yeah .
Um . So , no one knows how to pronounce that name . You guys just fucked with me on that . You set me up for fail . No one knows how to pronounce it .
Someone wrote it down , I'm going to write the alphabet From A to Z , and I want you to pronounce that word .
It even laughs at you . You try to pronounce it and then it laughs at you . Ha , stupid fuck . You try to pronounce it and then it laughs at you . It's like his ha stupid fuck .
¶ Mythos of Sathagua and Its Origins
Um , I think , yeah , that's all I got for the description , though there's a lot of different opinions about what he looks like , but they all centralize around bat frog big bat frog , mommy milkers , some ho dong bong gong gurus where does this fucker live , doug ? How do we get a hold of this piece of shit ?
That's a great question and I can only answer that with about three quotes that I have from the book . So the first one is from the Mound that HP Lovecraft wrote . Mound that hp lovecraft wrote , and it said this was a squat , plain temple of basalt blocks without a single carving and containing only a vacant onyx pedal uh , pedestal .
The remarkable thing about it was its story , for it was a link with a fabled elder world , compared to which even cryptic yoth was a thing of yesterday . If you've never read lovecraft , by the way , uh , it's hard to it's . It's very old , it's old english , it's hard to read . It is hard to read , so okay , uh , continuing on .
It had been built in imitation of certain temples depicted in the vaults of zen to house a very terrible black toad idol found in the red litten world and called sathagu . In the yathic manuscripts .
It had been a potent and widely worshipped god and , after its adoption by the people of kenyan , had lent its name to the city which was later to become dominant in the region .
Yathic legends said that it had come from a mysterious inner realm beneath the red litten world , a black realm of peculiar sensed beings which had no light at all but which had a great civilization and mighty gods .
Before ever the reptilian quadrupeds of yoth came into being , I think this is a reference to what something is colloquially , colloquially referred to as the dark world , which is like an in-between between life and death . I think yeah .
I don't know for sure . However , it really this kind of explains , like why he's such a sloth and why he doesn't do a whole lot , because the world that he was worshipped in in this quotation is one of no light and its followers were like like it was like bug people .
we are bug people um , if you want to look up a fun thing that resides in that world , check out . Uh , it's an . It's a being called a vanguard and those things are . It's essentially something that has one foot in that world , one foot in ours , and can communicate and search for things based on whoever's eyes it's looking through .
Super cool yeah , so , um , this next quote , uh , it's kind of similar . Um , this one is from in , uh , the whisper in darkness . It says they've been inside the earth too . There are openings which human beings know nothing of .
Some of them are in these very vermont hills and great worlds of unknown life down there , blue lit and kinyan kinyan uh , red and black , lightless in kai . It's from in kai that frightful sathagu came .
You know the amorphous toad like god creature mentioned in the pneumonic narcotic manuscripts in the necronomicon and the common myth cycle preserved by the Atlantean high priest Clarkash Tan . You know , clarkash Tan .
Sounds like a Star Trek character .
Yeah they really do .
I ran out of creativity .
So like Clarkish , Clarkish Tan .
What do you think this guy's name ?
is ? I think he looks like Clarkish Tom .
Yeah , as much as I love fucking cthulhu , mythos , shit , uh , the names are fucking wild . Some of it's just fucking silly like yeah , all right .
Last quote um in ancient eras , seth igua lived for a long time on yugoth along with its parents , gizizgoth and Mike .
Oh , I'm up again . Gizgoth , get the fuck out of here . And Are you fucking serious what ?
is this . There's no vowels , so figure it out .
Z-Styles Hem-G , hem-hem , z-styles , hem-genie , the Styles .
Hem-Genie Z-Styles .
Hem-Genie Z-Styles , hem the styles , hem genie the styles hem genie , the styles , hem genie , I just like gizguth gizguth is great .
I'm fully under the impression that whoever was creating half this shit had a stroke while they were penning it and they were like , no , just do that , make that a name and make it so no one can pronounce it , just roll with it . He wrote it , we have no time , shove it out , go um , all right .
So , yeah , lived with the , so lived with its parents deep underground caves live his parents basements fucking loser dude .
I'm laughing at the fact that Doug thought for half a second that he might try and pronounce something and goes nope , fuck , no .
Lived in his parents' basement . Now I have to talk about his cannibalistic granddad , fucking Cazax Kulof . There's too many X's Doug , allow me .
Let the professional handle this . Cazax Kulof . There's too many X's , doug , allow me . There's too many X's . Let the professional handle this . Kazaxcloth , kazaxcloth , kazazucloth , kazazucloth , kazazucloth .
Eventually , sathagua Moved to Cyclonosh or Saturn , and then later to Earth , traveling from one world to the next by moving between . Sathagua moved to uh , cyclonosh or Saturn , and then later to Earth , traveling from one world to the next by moving between dimensions , as opposed to crossing the gulfs of space .
Um , it's first emerged deep beneath the surface of the Earth , in the light , uh , lightless underground land of Enkai , which we had mentioned before , and from there Sathagagu eventually moved closer to the surface and dwelt inside mount vorm and uh , mythadreth and hyperborea , but then returned after the continent iced over .
So I actually think it's the admiralty mountain range . If we actually want to know what , what this mountain is , I'm pretty sure it's the tallest so is this supposed to be taking place way , way , way back in the earth's beginnings ?
oh , this is yeah , or ?
something is when . Do you remember when we talked about the Elder Things coming to Earth ?
Fire Island and there's a war going on between With the vampire .
Yeah , well , after the Star Vampire , after the Fire Vampires around the time of the Elder Things and Shogoths . God , fucking Lovecraft was a fucking nerd dude .
Yeah , huge His fire .
Vampires came to earth and there's a cube that they're trying to conquer huge nerd from the guy who , like fucking loves lord of the rings yeah , I like good cinema , they're taking it to the fucking . Yeah , that's what you said I like good cinema . What are you trying to say ?
you're a fucking nerd got him , got him , got him , I could hear the let's hurry it up from Mike .
I just got pee , real fucking bad go pee .
We're not needed right now you know that's a good point . You should just have a piss can .
Below your thing I drank two sodas before the last episode , and then a cup of coffee , and then I had to pee , and then , between these episodes , I drank two more sodas .
Did you pop two K-cups up your ass ? That's what I should have done . Now you really have to pee . Let's call it the penis spittoon . I'll make a sacrifice for you to fucking Sathagua , that way he can just take all the pee out of your body .
I got you . Can you get me some Kenyan gats while you're at it ?
I got you .
Kenyan gats . But I think the last thing I have about where Mr Toad has lived I think the most recent one is that he now resides in a ruined undercity , underwater city of youth , which is technically near the Bahamas , Yep .
Oh , so he vacationed to a nice sunny area .
Oh yeah .
Respect my boy Sathy .
Alright , who worships this fat fuck , Jason , Honestly he sounds like my kind of guy already .
I'm just saying Kind of same , though .
It'm just saying I mean kind of same , though it's pretty great .
It's a pretty lazy life , I would chuck a dog at him .
if it meant he gave me magical powers or something I'd be like . Your fingers are glue now , Fido , go . And then he just allows me to relax in the Poconos or something . Yeah , why not ?
The people who do actually worship this motherfucker . It's the patron . So Sethagua is the patron god of the Vormis , which are like furry arthropoid creatures that technically inhabited the Algofian mountains in ancient Hyperborea . Again , almost positive , this is just the admiralty mountain range in antarctica that had a larger land bridge at the time and again .
If you want to find more about that , just read uh , at the mountains of madness , um , do , do , do uh . So , apparently , um , humans in Hyperborea have also been known to worship Sathagua . Now , I will say there were not many humans in Hyperborea around the time that Sathagua was kind of present and accounted for .
Not a lot , but there were some , and I'm assuming that they were all kind of kept as slaves or something of the sort , especially considering that we are the handiwork of Shogoths , which was just underwater sea blob , uh , made for heavy lifting . Um , at one point , um , there was , uh , there was kind of like a , an influence or culture war .
I guess Um , influencer war , I guess so , if you want to call it that , um , influencer war , I guess so , if you want to call it that , the influence of Sathagou was actually replaced with the worship of someone named Yunde and the few remaining cultists that were actually dedicated to Sathagou at that time were . I mean , they were persecuted .
I'm going to go ahead and say executed . Probably that's just how these fucking beings do . If there's a worship being an executed it , was that probably probably um , oh yeah , although that the sethagua faith did experience a resurgence after this yunda kind of took over um , but this was following the quote-unquote miraculous disappearance of Eben , which is again
¶ The Lazy Deity Sathagua and More
. Eben is one of the main characters in the story the Door to Saturn . He's already learned a ton about the relations between Saturn and the mage .
He's a mage , or like a wizard or something .
Yeah , I think the mad Arab actually knew what he was doing , not just writing random shit , the slightly peeved Arab . Yes , exactly the slightly upset Arab .
I'm one ticked off . Arab , the lightly annoyed .
So I know you guys heard me talk about , um , the story , uh , zamtra Zeros . By the time that story was written , or the time period around that that story is written about , um , uh , sathagoo is no longer worshiped by humans at all .
In fact , humans had completely forgotten altogether that this bat frog like creature had existed on earth and kind of influenced our entire culture . But you know that happens , um , it's uh , the temples were abandoned . So again going back to mountains of madness , the abandoned temple .
That shit never makes sense to me when it's like , oh yeah , there's this all powerful magical God that had all these magical abilities , but over time we just forgot about it . Not if like a dude was .
If if a guy like I walked up to a guy and he was just like , hey , I'm gonna go chuck this goat into this monster's mouth and then I'm going to walk out with like bags full of cash , I don't think that's ever going to go away , cause people are just going to constantly go to that because it's a well of wishes you get whatever you want the thing how do
you forget about that in this sense , is that it's not that people forgot because they weren't they like , couldn't get stuff from them .
It's that there was somebody more powerful and giving better stuff . So you have a fat , sloth titted goat or , uh , frog , and then there's , like you know , big , strong other deity sexy god , much better things with much more people involved and gotcha okay . So he was just lots of uh .
Yeah , he was just lazy , he just didn't , he to put it lightly he just didn't give a shit , he does not care .
This out of everybody that we're gonna do , we are talk , have talked about or are going to talk about . He literally lived in his parents basement bro yeah , dude sathagu is like he's the biggest , laziest piece of shit . That like he's not evil , he's just not motivated .
Get a job at all get a job , grow up like , do something with your life now , after saying all of this .
For a very long time , he was worshipped by the Kenyans , which are oh God , no , it's K-apostrophe-N-Y-A-N that is the name of the place where these beings dwelt , assumedly human . And now , in this area , you're going to find images of Sathagua .
However , in some cases , you're going to find that a lot of these images show him bound , almost like whoever is painting these pictures looks at him as almost like a prisoner instead of a god . That has not been explained . There's no real answer to why that is it's a metaphor .
It could be , who knows , maybe the gods have struggles just like we do , and that's just making them more human . Who knows ?
Fuck them , making them more human who knows fuck them and so , but these people , the Kenyans , did end up making a bunch of idols , and throughout history you're going to find a lot of different idols that depict a fat bat frog like creature . These are supposedly created by this people .
After this , the idols were were actually discovered to be not created by this group of people . It was actually created by the in kai um , which you'll remember from before that . Oh yeah , yeah , I remember um . So apparently this is just kind of like a big hand-me-down um .
And again , you're going to find all of this in hp lovecraft's the mound , where you will also find that in kai's habitants and sathagu , as original worshippers , were the ravenous , formless spawn , and so it kind of links together three different races of things and it gives them an origin story , which is kind of cool very similar to how we got an origin story
yeah , it's a little convoluted , but it's overly convoluted , it's hard to grasp .
But they're actually Scooby Doo mask revealed they're actually the elder ones yeah , I would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't
for those Kenyan if it wasn't for those . Kenyan children if it wasn't for those meddling um where was I ?
oh yeah , um , sathagu you're also going to see is , uh , has a almost like an association by proxy to the star vampires .
The only reason the star vampires and sathagu are related in any way , shape or form is that when the being known as Cthugha came to earth for the first time which I think was the first being to actually touch earth brought her star vampires with her .
A war was waged , and I'm almost positive that Sathagua elected the help of the star vampires to help defeat the elder things . I want you to help me beat up to suck me off yeah .
Um , oh , another important fact about sathagua and , uh , the , I guess , the hierarchy of followership um , normally it's all one rank , it's all just followers who bring sacrifices and sathagua says yes or yes to both um , and then eats one or two of the things in the room .
Um , he is known and identified as a great old one , which is the same realm as , uh , cthulhu . Um , so cthulhu and sathagua are apparently kind of on the same level .
Still , a step or two down from , like near lethatep , shabnagrath or azathoth were kind of known as just like staple beings that if they were to just get erased , then a lot of what we see and hear and think and feel every single day would be very fucking different , if not non-existent . Um .
I could only dream Wonders .
The last thing I want to say is that , if we want to get into , like the elements and a little touch a little bit on witchcraft , um , if we , if we look at the the history of the earth , we include the formation of the elementals and what they contributed to like what we have now .
Um , there is a big rivalry between the natural order of earth , aka the elementals , and this outside deity that's trying to exert his own force on earth .
Obviously , those are going to come to a head , um , and if you'd like to read more about that , you can go ahead and read something called the scroll of Morlock , which we'll tell you all about that , if you want to know , in a very long winded fashion .
There's these creatures in that story called the napkas or I don't know how to . I don't know how to say it , but they look fucking awesome . They're like these like imagine an old man , but with like a bear head , and they have like six arms .
Yeah , it's like goro . Yeah , it's like if goro and jack frost , the horror movie , had a baby they're pretty cool , yeah , um , but that's all I have for , uh , the servitors of the bat frog known as sathagua um , I got some fam to talk about here , some fans .
It's always funny hearing that they're like they're mom and they're dad .
He's my dad .
He's my uncle , willie . So Ashen Smith took Lovecraft's creations to his own gods and wed them together , essentially and basically molded them like a Greek pantheon . Essentially and basically molded them like a Greek pantheon . Essentially um more than like that a cosmic group of beings that , like Lovecraft , did Right .
So , uh , he assigned outlandish , like familial relationships to his gods . Oh God yeah Um making uh , the , uh , a Saturnian um , the his cool , the uncle of Sathagua , and ascribe this bizarre family tree to a parchment of Nam
¶ Exploring the Mythos of Sathagua
. I don't know what P-N-O-M , I don't know what that means , but that is actually .
I think the next sentence explains it .
Then he got Agent Orange . Hyper Borea's leading . There's probably a better Nam joke in there somewhere , but I would suggest it .
Yeah , I was like I gotta , I was trying to redirect out of that and I was like fuck it .
What's the song from every fucking Vietnam ? Fucking .
Fortunate .
Son Fortunate , Son Fortunate Son which is the most anti-american song ever fucking written .
If you read the lyrics , well , I think that's the point , but it is , it's lost on a lot of people . Yeah , we shouldn't do that .
You're right man yeah , so the parchments of nom is literally just like , uh , this guy's genealogy report essentially um , and both smith and lovecraft agree that sagua is a descendant of Azathoth , but the specifics of its lineage diverge .
In the family tree that is basically drawn by two different authors , khazadul Ra was the son of Sathagua , who destroyed him in a fit of jealousy Spoilers , I guess Sathagua had at least two children with his wife Shathak , wife Shathak Shathak oh my god , that's the worst one I'm pretty sure it's .
Shathak welcome to the Shathak . How can I help ?
you but like it looks like Shathak got shacked up with Shathak and then , went down to the fuck shack .
I was in the room , so I was like alright , here we go .
Here comes Shack . There's a bunch of names that I'm about to butcher so many these two children . The first was Asadagawa , also known as Zavilpugahua I don't know , evil Poo , it's right . And then the normal kid name was Vorm .
Vorm .
I think , it's Vopagua , that's a good guess . Vopagua is what Mike landed on . I think it's Vopagua , that's a good guess .
Vilpagua is what Mike landed on , I think it's Vilpagua , is the Z silent ?
I don't know , is the T in Sathagua silent ? Listen to yourself .
I don't know . I've never heard it spoken out loud .
Is it Cthulhu ?
It's Fatty Clip .
Wait , did you bring up Shathack earlier ? We literally just got off . I'm I'm mad I missed it . It's fine . Um , where the fuck am I now ? All right ? Um , yeah , so those are the two kids . Um , there's basically uh , all of these , all of these sathagu and fucking uh descendants or whatever they fucking made . They're basically shitting out formless spawns .
And I really don't like the thought of these things .
One of Sathagua's children is French . Oh oui , yeah .
That makes it even grosser .
That's the scariest thing I've heard all day Hippolyta .
Yeah , I'm pretty sure that's just all day Hippolyta yeah . His name is . I'm pretty sure that's just another name for Hippolyta , which is a Greek . Is his name ?
Escargot , but it's spelled like a .
Z in the beginning and two G's and shit .
Yes .
Yeah , so basically they just gave Zathigua a bunch of kids and I don't . I don't really know why they do that , but um , so who said something about the all spark earlier ? Was that you mike me , that was my me .
Oh , we're about to go in the other media , which I'll let jason do , but I just I had to say that there's a piece in here about the transformer transformers that one of their planets is literally colonized by a race and it's the system of where they live is named after sathagua yeah , nice , it's probably the fucking .
Was it the guys that made them ? What are they called nerd ?
something with a fucking nerd brother fuck , what does it fucking call ?
they call , I gotta look this up now yeah , they made , they made the , they made the transformers . So , like Doug was saying no . Seth .
Agua does appear in a lot of other medias . That's what it says . No , who created the Cybertronians ?
Who created robots , quintessence . Thank you , quintessence , I just saw it . Thank you , quintessence . Anyway .
Cool , bro , now that we've solved that mystery .
The Quintessence created the Transformers . They basically made them be a slave fucking race Transformers corner .
Yeah , in some pop culture , some other media that we see almost every day , depending on who you are and what you like . Seth Agua does appear in book two of the Illuminatus trilogy um , under the name saint toad saint toad .
I like that .
Yeah , I like that that's a good one , saint toad . Yeah , um sathagu is also one of the components for anime I do too . I've seen , I've seen like half an episode . What's it called ? Uh , so it's from the anime . Uh , hiyori , uh Nyakuru Nyaruko-san . Jesus Christ Um Sathagua is one of the components for the BLT sandwich .
The other two components are Byaki and Leogar , which are both entities from the Cthulhu mythos . This anime is literally it . It humanizes all of the Cthulhu Mythos . This anime is literally it humanizes all of the Cthulhu Mythos timeline and puts them in an anime together . So it seems interesting . I'm not sure , actually , what kind of anime it is .
It would have to satiate a certain genre for me to watch . That , I think , because I could also see another direction where that goes .
That I don't want to see that's just a child . If you feel anything when you look at that picture , that's on you , buddy .
Call that one . Sethagu is also the god that the two deus machina of the Anticross members , Vespanius and Tiberius , Sychanosh and Beelzebub were modeled after , the former being the name of said great old one's home planet , Psychronosh , which is another name for Saturn .
They both possessed abilities related to the aforementioned god , notably the formless spawn and star vampires In Transformers animated . The all spark almanac to one of the many planets that was colonized by the Cybertronian race is the Hadeen system and is named after Seth Agua . Yeah , Didn't we just go over that ? We did . That's what Doug was saying earlier .
Very lastly , I'm sure there's more mentions , but a big one is the crossover comic Godzilla versus C Cthulhu A Death May Die Story .
I do need to read that one . I've seen that online .
Oh yeah , I want to read all the comics from that . It features Seth Agua as a main antagonist , godzilla's very Cthulhu , mythos based metal band that , uh , they have a few songs that sing about sathagua , um . And I'm sure there's one other band that is very , very cthulhu based . I'm pretty sure they have some songs by them as well .
But other than that , I mean , as far as a , a being that is indescribably horrible , that is the maximum we are allowed to describe him , I think .
I think we hit the word limit .
Yeah , yep , yep , yep . Do you guys have any questions about Batfrogman ? Honestly , dude , this one's pretty straightforward .
I just like how he's just a big old toad man yeah
literally there's no , yeah , he just eat people I have .
There's no godlike monster like literally the only like superhuman power that I like , looked at here , is obviously a immortal until killed . There's a lot more , but the other one is he's just lazy .
He sleeps until people bring him sacrifices and then he eats the sacrifice , unless he doesn't like the person who brought him the sacrifice , in which case he eats both of them .
There's a lot more . He's just a cat .
Yeah , there's a lot more Lovecraft stuff in sorry Lovecraft stuff and Transformers , I thought oh , there's , a there's devoid elder God . There's a dude named elder God .
Like there's a guy the beast , it's me elder , god or whatever . The or no . I theory on yeah interesting that . Yeah , I theory anyway , go ahead .
Matt , yeah , when was the book this guy is from published ?
The first one , written in 29 , published in 31 .
Yeah , pretty sure that's the same year that Tootsie Rolls were invented .
I think , you're right .
Holy shit , holy fuck .
Maybe onto something there he might be .
Are we supposed to rule ?
the shits of Elder God .
It's because you know the answer Don't fucking do it . The answer is right here .
It's 1931 or whatever you say You're right , holy fuck .
Also , somebody left us a YouTube comment and said that Gargamel hasn't been brought up in a long while .
Because we shot him and he died . So there hasn't been brought up in a long . There's a reason we shot him and he died . So there you go . Yeah , gargamel died . We killed him because he tried to steal my smurf and turn him into gold . So I fucked , I killed him .
I killed him dead . Do you guys know what Tootsie Rolls are made of ?
Tootsies .
I really just want to know what to say . It's a little Tootsie and a pop . Anyway , everybody does that make a big one .
a get , I don't want to say anything , it's a little Tootsie and a pop . Anyway , everybody .
Does that make a big one . A gat , a gat room , a Tootsie gat , no , no .
Doug , we can't share that special information with the people because we will do an episode on Tootsie rolls , I'm fucking sure .
Yeah .
Be on the lookout , fuckers , build a mystique .
I think that settles it for Cthulhu Corner .
