Mythos Source

Tsathoggua was first mentioned in H.P. Lovecraft's The Whisperer in the Darkness (1931) and again in The Shadow Out of Time (1936), although he was invented and first described in Clark Ashton Smith's short story The Tale of Satampra Zeiros (1931). Published only a few month's apart, Smith's story was actually written a year earlier. Tsathoggua is a primary deity in Smith's Hyperborean Cycle.
