----
* AggressiveNegotiations: Damoritosh's idea of "diplomacy" is to keep shooting until the target surrenders.
* MightMakesRight: The core concept of his faith; the strong are to subjugate the weak, and the weak are to obey the strong without question. That said, tormenting subjects instead of expanding outward is seen as wasteful and pointless.
* WarGod: As befitting a patron of the [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy vesk]].

->'''The Star-Eater'''
->'''God of black holes, destruction, and supernovas'''

----
* NegativeSpaceWedgie: A seemingly living and definitely evil black hole.
* OmnicidalManiac: The Devourer and its cult want to completely unmake the cosmos down to the subatomic particles.

----
* SentientCosmicForce: One of the many hypotheses about Ibra's nature claims that it is a personification of space itself.
* TheSpook: Ibra isn't known as "The Inscrutable" for nothing. Everything about it--its identity, its age, even its holy symbol--is an enigma.
* TheWorldIsJustAwesome: While this is a common tenet of good deities' philosophies, Ibra's adherents are wholly devoted to observing and untangling the beautiful mysteries of the universe.

->'''Goddess of assassins, rats, spies, and thieves'''
->'''Alignment:''' NeutralEvil
----
* AscendedExtra: Lao Shu Po was originally a goddess almost exclusively worshipped in [[{{Wutai}} Tian Xia]]. Now she is not only a core goddess, but a patron of the [[RatFolk ysoki]].
* TheDreaded: Most of her non-evil adherents obey her out of fear rather than genuine reverence.
* YouDirtyRat: In addition to being a monstrous rat herself, most of her adherents are evil (or at least non-good) [[RatFolk ysoki]].
!!Nyarlathotep
->'''The Crawling Chaos'''
->'''Outer God of conspiracies, dangerous secrets, and forbidden magic'''
->'''Alignment:''' ChaoticEvil
----
* BombThrowingAnarchists: Nyarlathotep seeks to sow chaos in all its forms, so a surprising number of his followers are anarchist terrorists and revolutionaries.
* HumanoidAbomination: While Nyarlathotep possesses [[EldritchAbomination innumerable forms, each more horrific than the last]], his most familiar one is the Empty Traveler: a seemingly ordinary space suit with a vacant helmet and a body composed of writhing tentacles.
* TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow: Nyarlathotep knows all sorts of dark secrets, and he'll share them with his deranged followers if doing so will spread more chaos.
