Neptune
"Neptune (Latin: Neptūnus) is the god of freshwater and the sea in the Roman religion. He is the counterpart of the Greek god Poseidon. In the Greek-inspired tradition, he is a brother of Jupiter and Pluto, with whom [he presides] over the realms of heaven, the earthly world (including the underworld), and the seas. Salacia is his wife." [Neptune (mythology), Wikipedia]
Neptune visited the Strange High House in the Mist, in company with Nodens. [HPL Mist (online text)]
Laban Shrewsbury suggested that the character of Neptune might ultimately have been inspired by Cthulhu. [AWD Island]
A planet. Spotted with white fungi. HPL Gates (online text) 451; Whisperer (online text) 223, body type 258.
Hzioulquoigmnzhah emigrated from Yuggoth to Yaksh (Neptune) at an early age; but, wearying of the peculiar religious devotions of the Yakshians, went on to Cykranosh (Saturn) [CAS Pnom].
Robert H. Barlow seems to have identified the planet Loth with Yaksh (Neptune), though Clark Ashton Smith suggested that Loth might actually correspond to Antanôk . [Letter from Clark Ashton Smith to Robert Barlow, Sept. 10th, 1934; at eldritchdark.com, retrieved 01/07/2026]
