History

Origins

Lloigoroth was one of the Great Old Ones, extradimensional beings predating Earth, and the Nameless Ones, possibly another name of the Old Ones.

Modern Day

The Grim Reaper invoked Lloigoroth, asking the Nameless One to grant him the power he sought, and swearing on Yog-Sokot and Shuma-Gorath to repay him with decay, corruption and death. The Grim Reaper then went on a killing spree, crashing down a plane, and capturing a New York subway, then provoking the Avengers to attack him. As the Avengers ultimately managed to reason with him, the Grim Reaper abandoned his fight, and was immediately attacked by Lloigoroth who devoured him as a punishment.

As she was about to be defeated by Dormammu, Umar of the Dark Dimension invoked the name of the Abyss of Lloigoroth in terror.

Lloigoroth(?) assaulting Doctor Strange

Lloigoroth was one of many names of an incantation used by Jack Riley to defend himself against Daimon Hellstrom.

Lloigoroth seemingly participated or skulked around the War of the Seven Spheres' battles, and assaulted Doctor Strange as he traveled across the dimensions to visit the Vishanti.

Notes

• Lloigoroth, a Great Old One, is presumably a reference to Lloigor, a Cthulhu Mythos entity created by August Derleth and Mark Schorer in their short story "The Lair of the Star Spawn" (1932), and later described as a race or type of creatures. Grant Morrison would name the Lloigor as the many-angled ones in his story story Zenith (1987), a name later used to describe the Great Old Ones in Marvel Comics during the Realm of Kings event (2009).

Trivia

• The Appendix to the Handbook of the Marvel Universe hypothesized that Lloigoroth's form was inspired by the Cthulhu Mythos entity Y'golonac, who possessed mouths on his palms.
