An evil deity in Lovecraft's works, Nyarlathotep is also known as the Crawling Chaos. He is part of the Outer Gods. He is first described as a 'tall' and 'swarthy' man who resembles an Egyptian pharaoh. Nyaralathotep wanders the world, amassing followers who are lost in his thrall and lead to the world collapsing. He walks the earth disguised as human, and is not exiled like the other gods.
