History

Origins

N'Gabthoth was either a Great or a Lesser Old One, one of the Primal Gods, and a servant of Shuma-Gorath. He was allegedly "originated from the primal ooze".

For uncounted eons, he slept in a cave down a cliff of Starkesboro, Maine, New England, known as N'Gabthoth's Roost, held sacred by the people of that town and considered it property of N'Gabthoth.

Modern days

He was known as N'Gabthoth and the Shambler from the Sea to the people of Starkesboro, who worshiped Shuma-Gorath, N'Gabthoth, and Sligguth, offering the Shambler victims as sacrifices.

When Doctor Strange came to the town, he eventually managed to cause the death of Sligguth, waking up N'Gabthoth. At the same moment, Ebora had the people of Starkesboro capture Clea, Wong, and Johnny Frames to offer them to N'Gabthoth.

Strange's first attempt at stopping him was quickly dismissed, until the astral form of the Ancient One entered Strange's body to give him the strength to battle the monster. Overwhelmed, N'Gabthoth fled to the dark church of Stakesboro to recover a chest with a map leading to Stonehenge, England. Strange tracked him down, defeating and killing him.
