Zoth-Ommog seems smaller and relatively less terrifying than his older brothers. He takes more after his father, resembling earthly sea creatures in some covergent evolutionary manner, or perhaps based on his personal aesthetic choice after imprisonment on earth. The ways of these creatures, with their somewhat mutable cellular structures, are somewhat difficult for a human to comprehend. Zoth-Ommog seemed to prefer this form for contact with humans, and representations of him have been reportedly discovered across the globe. Also like his father, he has impressive psychic ability, invading dreams as well as commanding a small (?) army of worm or slug like sea monsters. His rituals are renowned for brutal sacrifices, usually of outsiders who are allowed to go insane before their disemboweling and devouring. Z-Mo, as I have come to know him, seems to have some issues compensating for living in his father's shadow.
