Topic: None Shall Stand Against Him

[Sumac]

Dagon was a boss in PoR and I think the Malachi was called Cthulhu in one version of a game (SotN?).

Yes, in English version of SOTN (PS1) names of those two were swapped.
Most likely.

[sannyclause]

Aw, sannyclause doesn't know his Mythos.

There are actually more than these, but these are the primary Old Ones. Any author writing for the Mythos can make up new Old Ones, and they often do. The library continues to grow.

Then you have the Race of Yith, which really isn't that bad -- they just kick your soul out of your body and live out their days in your empty corpse until Earth gets destroyed, then they'll go do the same thing to some other weaker being on another planet.

But the Mi-go are real douches. Lesser beings that like to push other beings around. You might have seen them in El Viento on the Sega Genesis.

HO HO HO thank u very much

There's absolutely no way Satan could ever remotely 'use' even one of these guys to his advantage. They just don't function that way. The Old Ones are beyond even Satan's comprehension. They are so vile and evil in nature, and their looks are very chaotic that it would cause even Satan's mind to break apart. While Satan is the primary evil in Christian mythology he just cannot stand up to even one of the Old Ones. That's how threatening and badass these guys are. They'd walk all over the competition in less the a heartbeat. H.P. Lovecraft wasn't pussyfooting it around when he wrote these stories as I'm pretty sure he was scared of them himself.

Kratos>The Old Ones

Galactus>EVERYTHING

I forgot Eihort's picture.



Satan is just one of the Old Ones that makes himself more prominent than the others. Possibly flitting between our world and the Dreamlands, hence his form.

Where the hell did you see this from?!? Satan is not an Old One last time I checked and whomever thought this up certainly did not know his stuff. The person in question may have thought it an interesting idea but I see it as nothing more then some Christian writer wanting a piece of H.P. Lovecraft's pie or to force their personal beliefs into the mythos and expecting everyone to accept it. However if Satan was an Old One he'd have no choice but to answer to the lord and master of all the Old Ones; Cthulhu. Cthulhu is the only one that can summon the others to Earth or awaken them from their eternal sleep and begin the slaughter and slavery of human kind.

[Chernabogue]

Could TFO be considered as an Old One? He's way more powerful and evil than Satan.

[Nagumo]

The Forgotten One from LoS could be one, but not the Forgotten One from LoI when you take into account his backstory from the manga...

[X]

Could TFO be considered as an Old One? He's way more powerful and evil than Satan.

It might be a possibility however he isn't very chaotic-looking as the rest of the Old Ones are, and Gabriel's mind didn't fracture from the horror of the beast as it would be with the rest of the Old Ones. So it's quite possible that The Forgotten One is a monster whom is below the stature of the Old Ones but is far above Satan and since Gabula defeated The Fogotten One then he would fit into the same or a slightly higher catagory; Above Satan but below the Old Ones.

I guess I should compose a power list for where these types of monsters would fit:

--Bottom--

--Lesser monsters

--Satan

--The Forgotten One

--Gabula (Gabriel/Dracula)

--The Old Ones

--The Elder Gods

--Top--

It's a rough chart at best but you get the idea. The Elder Gods were also mentioned in H.P. Lovecraft's stories and they are far above the Old Ones.

Yeah... last i checked, Satan is at the most basic level, an angel. So... if he were an old one, that would make Angels old ones, and God something similar.. Which.. doesn't quite seem right... Although to be fair, God is usually considered to either have no true form, or have a form incomprehensible by the Human mind. Although AGAIN, it's said he created Humanity in his image, sooo...

Actually, looking up a bit, Seraphs also, in the one instance the term is used in the Hebrew Bible, describes them as having 6 wings, two of which cover it's face, 2 of which cover its feet, and the other two for flying. Also, they seem to have depictions as being like, all wings sometimes, with no other discernible body aside from a head and what, a torso?

[A-Yty]

The original descriptions of angels were something you might encounter in Silent Hill, not in a puffy cloud paradise. Somewhere along the line, the image of pretty people with wings came to prominence. Or in LoS' case, shower-fresh Marilyn Manson lookalike hiding his junk with black smoke.

Satan is politically correct. who knew?

ohh.  I love power levels but where would the belmonts be on the list X?

edit where would galamoth be instead?

[SiFi270]

God must look eldritch if he designed humanity in His image. Considering how few humans are physically identical, He must somehow look like an infinite number of people, from the past, present, and future.

And I'm still not convinced with the whole "Old Ones are way above religious figures" thing. I mean, I can understand that they're too much for insignificant races like us puny humans, but surely there are beings out there who are advanced enough to regard them the same way we'd regard a dangerous animal, and surely gods and angels and the like are among those beings?
