Lloigor

The Lloigor were a group of pre-universe beings.

They were not native to N-Space, but one of them, the Animus, got into it. The effort and energy spent on doing this meant the others would be unlikely to try the same thing. (PROSE: The Dark Path) This involved passing into a parallel universe that would survive for a fraction of a second before the destruction of the previous universe and after the beginning of the current one. (PROSE: All-Consuming Fire, Millennial Rites)

They possibly all had a similar appearance or biology to that of the Animus, which was frequently identified as Lloigor, (PROSE: All-Consuming Fire, Millennial Rites, The Dark Path, Divided Loyalties) "Animus" being the name given to it on Vortis. (PROSE: Twilight of the Gods)

Behind the scenes

• August Derleth created the singular Lloigor. Colin Wilson created the plural Lloigor, a race of invisible energy beings that could manifest as dragons and "sea-devils". In Wilson's story, they are associated with the names of obscure Great Old Ones that H. P. Lovecraft named in stories he ghost-wrote. The protagonist of Wilson's story concludes that Derleth's Lloigor got its name from the race.
• Both Grant Morrison's Zenith and Alan Moore's The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen use the term Lloigor to identify Great Old Ones created by Lovecraft or Derleth.
