I have to say, I always do enjoy seeing your videos! I was wondering since you are such a big fan of Lovecraft and the mythology that he created, if you would ever consider doing a video on one of his more major correspondence being Robert E Howard? The two of them shared so many ideas and corresponded so much that even Robert E Howard's gods that he created for many of his stories are actually part of the Lovecraft mythos in one way or another. I think a lot of Lovecraft enthusiast would be interested in hearing about some of these gods and entities. Very few have done any videos, and none have done to your caliber. Food for thought.
Except no, because Dagon isn’t Gollum and this isn’t LOTR. Dagon while hugging the monolith: “GENTLEMEN… BEHOLD. I have made… THIS THING” because Aquateen Hungerforce is toooootally Lovecraftian
I clicked on this video and I stopped paying attention. The first thing said waz, "He's a very accomplished banjo player." I was surprised to hear that about Dagon. Then I realized it was an Orkin commercial.
Next thing you'll know, he'll have hidden an old story he had describing an ancient race of being buried under the Earth called the Buried Ones, or a race of creatures takingnshelters in volcanoes called the Scorched Ones, or a race of Bird People called the Gusted Ones.
Starman Gaming there is actually a short story of a Spaniard that went into an underground society of ghost like people that worship the deep ones through the rock
Dagon also appears in Dungeons and Dragons as an Obyrith lord (one of several powerful alien entities from another universe) and controls a shadowy aquatic realm in the Abyss. A lot of D&D lore is heavily influenced by Lovecraft's work.
There were notes on this story in my edition of Complete Cthulhu Mythos, in the introduction written by a Lovecraft authority. He found that this creature was a prehistoric worshipper of Dagon, not Dagon himself.
A night, many years ago, I dreamt about an expedition in the arctic. I was one of the sailors of the boat, and there was a nest with hundred of fishmen-like creatures, who howled in the night and didn't allow "us" (me and the other sailors) to sleep... I was 15 at the time, and I have discovered Lovecraft a year later. I still remember the howls of these fishmen
Javier C. What in the hell does Bloodborne have to do with Lovecraft? I’ve never understood that connection. Is it because of the squiddy tentacley things in Bloodborne?
The real question is... Who have the Starspawn of Cthulhu selected to become the "god of men"? I'm betting on Keeanu Reaves, because like he said, they only select the most breathtaking specimens.
i want to believe that Dagon is related to Deus Branquia (the giant fish in Guillermo del Toro's The Shape Of Water) since you mentioned it is the god of fish, and Deus Branquia means the same in portuguese Edit: ALSO now that i think about it H.P Lovecraft is one of Guillermo's favourite writers so yes i'll take this as a fact
@@tylerdavis6389 I don't think he's a Deep One specifically, but I think it was a (relatively) lighthearted corruption of The Shadow Over Innsmouth based on this one theory I heard, which was that Eliza, was always a member of his race, which is why she couldn't speak and liked water so much.
Nah, it sort of makes sense that Lovecraft would go that route with an ancient god from a harvest and fertility deity from Mesopotamia. LOVECRAFT: What a fascinating name. Tell me more about this Dagon. OTHER PERSON: Well, he was from the ancient middle east. Funny enough in Hebrew his name loosely translates to fish... LOVECRAFT: How grotesque! Why am I not surprised filthy ancient foreign heathens would worship a monster like that! OTHER PERSON: What? No! It was just mistranslated. He actually represented... LOVECRAFT: Too late! Just wrote several short stories about a creepy fish god and his evil cross breeding worshipers. OTHER PERSON: Dammit Howard!
LOVECRAFT: Hey tell me more about those sea legends you heard at the docks OTHER PERSON: Well those fishermen are talking about their mermaid sightings, you may like to write abo... LOVECRAFT:AH-HA, i knew it! those filthy foreigners are fucking and worshipping subaquatic demons, damn degenerates. OTHER PERSON: christ sake Howard, get help.
Would like to see a video done for the Greek goddess Hestia because she gets overlooked so much when compared to her 2 sisters (Hera and Demeter) and her 3 brothers (Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades)
I'm a couple years late to the party. 5 years infact, but I just have to say that I, and many others, would LOVE to hear you read some of Lovecraft's stories! You have a voice that would fit perfectly with the vibe of the stories, aswell as the ability to keep us on the edge just by the way you speak. All the best and thank you for giving us such amazing videos! Edit: No sooner than 20 minutes after I posted this I saw the Dagon audiobook. Whoops! Lol Still, love the videos and look forward to more!
It's a bestiality fantasy for women who have given up on attracting a human mate... Probably not the explanation that you were looking for, but that's about the heart of the matter.
Close enough, like most of HP's stuff there's always room for interpretation and I look at many, since HP was often vague intentionally we're left with having fun w it all, the less detail maybe the spookier it can be to ppl and such is the purpose of classic horror, even I write stuff in this manner, the moment you know the threat it doesn't seem as threatening, if it's vague and you can't get a handle on it, it's creepier and better. Keep up the good work !
There's this awesome "Dagon" from a few years ago. Very, very creepy adaptation of the Chtulhu mithos to cinema, in a forgotten spanish seaside village where the Esotheric Order of Dagon has terrible plans for some american shipwreck survivours. I do recomend!
@@alexanderkaval7506 right?? I thought even the music was on point! Only after watching it I read "The shadow over Innsmouth" and understood all the references.

Strangely enough, I was just looking up this particular creature when I was exploring more of the Lovecraftian Cthulhu mythos. I learned that there was a movie made for this one and I didn't remember watching it until recently. Coincidence? I hope so... God of fish seems to be the main consensus of this one, but I wonder what else there is to this one. It seems almost simple when compared to the eldritch beings and Elder Gods but I suppose not all of these creatures have to be beyond comprehension or reality. And w/ our limited knowledge of the deep sea, maybe it's better to keep out of such unfathomable depths. Great video, it was nice to watch and learned a little from it.
I love this channel! You've got info on everything I like. Thanks also for confirming that there's a Mesopotamian god with the same name that I recently found out about.
That's actually a fair description of the ever deep and ever powerful Dagon. Thanks PS: we got a copy of your book last week, and my son hasn't been able to put it down since :)
Jordan Maxwell said Dagon is an ancient fish god that the elites worship such as the Pope, and that's why the Pope's hat looks like a fish mouth if viewed from sideways. Is that true? Where did Lovecraft get his ideas from? Ancient mythology or wholely made up? I heard that creativity always imbeds truth in fiction.
I like the LoveCraft vid's, every time you post one I always show my other half as he's a big LoveCraft fan 😎 keep up the good work, we all really appreciate your efforts 💜😎👍
Back in the 60s My Gran used to say "Everytime the World Opens itself to us, it swallows a few". I never did get past how absolutely CREEPED out it made me feel, as She'd WINK as she said it...... It always made me think of those horrid fish. Down in the darkness, with their luminescent LURES, just waiting.
I find the fact that the Star Spawn choose a member of a species to become a Great Old One fascinating. Does that meet HP Lovecraft was a Great Old One?
BIOGRAPHICS with Simon Whistler just did a video on Lovecraft. It seems like his real life was almost as much of a nightmare as his stories. Great videos btw. Maybe you could do a video on some of the Native American spirits that permeate their history and culture. Coyote, the trickster spirit comes to mind.
Huh -- I never heard about the star spawn of Cthulhu empowering creatures from other species before. Makes for an interesting potential origin story for Dagon. . .
Fun fact: In the comic Godzila: Aftershock, there is another member of Godzilla's species (let's call them "Godzillasaurus" as an example) also called Dagon. He was killed by MUTO Prime.
It's funny how Lovecraft's work has sort of warped Dagon in modern culture: the original Dagon is a Sumerian harvest deity, but both times I've seen the name in pop culture they were attributed to an aquatic monster (once in Godzilla 2014 where the skeleton of one of Gojira's species is code named Dagon, and in Darksiders Genesis as a demon lord of water). Lovecraft basically rewrote our perception of the character.
Yeah, it’s always jolly reading the beginning of a H.P Lovecraft book, “I’m going to jump out of this window and kill myself” or “yes I shot my friend six times in the head”
So, it's a Lovecraftian god with scaly arms, a hideous head, vaguely humanoid but otherwise only poorly described by the few insane survivors that have seen it, associated with the ocean with secretive cults around the coastal areas and as "A Shadow Over Innsmouth" illuminates, there is an ancient and large worship of it in the South Pacific. My headcanon is that Dagon is an aspect of Cthulhu or another name for Cthulhu.
One thing is for sure if I were to draw this dagon he would have 1eye because he was described to be “polyphemus” which is the cyclops from the tale Odysseus
I love lovecraft work but I don't like Dagon that much, don't know why tho. In a side note, what about adding some Magic the Gathering lore to the chanel? I would love to hear about that!
I don't feel the man saw dagon himself rather a old deep one. My assumption for this is, the man observed writing of sorts on the monolith that suggested worship of dagon. The creature observed wrapped its arms around the monolith in worship it would seem illogical for dagon to be worshipping himself hence I assumed a old deep one was witnessed probably one of the last in an eternal cycle of worship. But having said that applying logic to lovecraft is probably illogical at best.
Praise father Dagon biggest of all the fish people 🦑🦑
Is it possible this character is based on the Biblical Dagon? If you mention that later in the video, I apologize.

The narrator mentions this in the video.
Ur
Predates the bible, and quite a few other written things...

Yup.
The real question is...
Who have the Starspawn of Cthulhu selected to become the "god of men"?
