The Ramsey Campbell deities are fictional supernatural entities created for the Cthulhu Mythos universe of shared fiction by British horror writer Ramsey Campbell. ==Daoloth==
Daoloth (''The Render of Veils'' or ''The Parter of Veils'') dwells in dimensions beyond the three we know. His astrologer-priests are said to be able to see the past and the future and even how objects extend into and travel between different dimensions. Daoloth's indescribable shape causes viewers to go mad at the sight of him; thus, he must be summoned in pitch-black darkness. If not held within some kind of magical containment, he continues to expand and expand—perhaps even at an infinite rate. Those enveloped by the god are transported to utterly bizarre and remote worlds, usually perishing as a result. Daoloth's worship is rare on earth. One request that can be made to Daoloth, magically contained, is to view things as they really are, not as our veiled senses perceive them. The sight is more than one can bear. ==Eihort== Eihort (''God of the Labyrinth'') first appeared "in person" in Ramsey Campbell's short story "Before the Storm" (1980). However, the being was first mentioned in Campbell's "The Franklyn Paragraphs" (1973). Eihort lives in a network of tunnels deep beneath the Severn Valley in England. It appears as a "bloated blanched oval supported on myriad fleshless legs" with eyes continuously forming in its gelatinous body. When it captures a mortal, it offers the captive a "bargain". If the captive refuses, Eihort smashes the victim to death. If the captive accepts the bargain, the horror implants its immature "brood" inside the victim's body. The brood will eventually mature and kill the host. According to the ''Revelations of Glaaki'', after the fall of humanity Eihort's brood will be born into light.〔Harms, "Eihort", ''Encyclopedia Cthulhiana'', p. 96.〕 "Ei" and "Hort" are nouns of the modern German language, "Ei" meaning "egg" and "Hort" meaning "hoard". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ramsey Campbell deities」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
