Description-Ulthrogrog is a bitter creature whose brooding nature and cold demeanor are quite off-putting. He is an intellectual at his core, but he would see that his knowledge was put to use in order to drown the weak, and leave the strong in their steed. He is respectful of those he deems to be learned, but is condescending to those he considers to be lacking intellectually. He favours the black depths of the deepest oceanic trenches, and shows a love for sea-creatures of all sorts. He honours his word, but otherwise, cares little for what sacrifices must be made for what he considers to be progress. Ulthrogrog feels that he was unfairly ostracized from the world, due the creation of land, and feels that the seas were intended to imprison ocean-dwelling beings. He wants nothing more than to watch the world drown, although he is calculating in his approach. Ulthrogrog does not desire mass genocide. Ul'throgrog desires a change that just so happens to be lethal to most land-dwellers.

Ulthrogrog is the son of Enki, Asharra, and Darrmoon. Born of Blackwater, a foul substance created from Darrmoon's and Enki's blood, Ulthrogrog's birth was a horrid affair. Vomited forth from the Sea-God's throat, and given shape by Asharra, Ulthrogrog takes pride in his birth. Being born of three gods, his divine power surpasses each of their individual power, and he aspires to surpass every god's power soon enough.

Ulthrogrog's favoured parent is his Mother, Asharra. Feeling that she is unfairly hated and reviled by Creation, he has sworn many times to create a world to her liking. He has sworn a Pact of Non-Aggression between himself and his Mother, knowing that his aspirations and nature will make him a target for many of the gods. Aware of (and wary of) his Mother's chaotic nature, the Pact was made to assure that she would remain his ally, regardless of her changing nature. He loves her Realm and creations, and as much as he would be loathe to admit it, loves his Mother as well. It was she that bestowed life upon him, and she who gave him a home to dwell in. While not wanting to serve directly under her, he wishes to repay her for these privileges.

He respects his humanoid Father for his intellect and the fear he brings to some of his followers. However, he also resents his mercy and compassion for the land-dwellers, as well as his desire to be loved by them. Ulthrogrog feels that Enki's desire for acceptance amongst those who dwell upon the land is a weakness, a weakness that may very well cost him his precious seas. While Ulthrogrog would never dream of betraying his own father, he would not be above claiming all of the seas as his own if the opportunity arised. Then his father would know how a true deity of the seas gathers worshippers.

Ulthrogrog believes his third parent, Darrmoon, to be nothing more than a slavering fool worthy of destruction. An annoyance at best, and a threat at worst. Both of these things are best destroyed.

His aspirations go beyond merely drowning the Material Plane. Ulthrogrog wishes for all Planes to become one with the Abyss, even the outer planes, such as the Void. He wishes to find the source of all Creation, and become master of its power. He would then use this power to create a Universe of perfect Order, and to create a version of Creation in which his Mother can exist comfortably.

Ulthrogrog's followers include aquatic aberrations, nihilistic cultists in coastal towns, and all manner of aquatic creatures of a Lawful or Evil nature.

Ulthrogrog appears as a mighty aboleth whose mucus-drenched flesh is a deep, midnight blue that seems to drawn light inward, smothering it in darkness. Each of his eyes are a different colour, and their arrangement is identical to that of his Symbol. Thick, chitinous plates run along his dorsal area, going down to about his eyes.
