'''Dagon''' (pronounced DAY-gon)<ref>{{Cite book/Campaign Setting|246}}</ref> is the [[demon lord|Demon Lord]] of the Sea and Sea Monsters that dwell in its darkest depths. His unholy symbol is an [[octopus]] eye surrounded by a gold disk inscribed with ancient looking runes.<ref name="DiMp57">{{Cite book/Descent into Midnight|57}}</ref>

==Appearance==

Dagon is believed to be the largest of all the known demon lords. Dagon's appearance is hideously monstrous and somewhat alien, being neither fully [[fish]], [[eel]], or octopus; he is some foul amalgamation of all three.<ref name="ISWG232">{{Cite book/The Inner Sea World Guide|232}}</ref> His spawn often take after him, similarly disgusting combinations of deep sea creatures.<ref name="DiMp57" />

==History==

Dagon is one of the oldest beings in the [[Abyss]] being one of the ancient [[qlippoth]], the creatures that dwelt in the abyss before demons. Dagon dwells in the depths of the [[Abyssal realm|Abyssal]] sea of [[Ishiar]],<ref name="ISWG232"/> in a sunken city known as [[Ugothanok]] a city with [[architecture]] so ancient as to be almost alien.<ref name="DiMp57" /><ref name="LoC14">{{Cite book/Lords of Chaos|14}}</ref> Dagon is said to have slain the great [[kraken]] [[Kaktora]], thereby creating the [[devilfish]] now haunting [[Golarion|Golarion's]] oceans.<ref>{{Cite book/Edge of Anarchy|80}}</ref> 

==Cult and worshippers== 

Dagon is quite active on the [[Material Plane]], regularly sending his [[demon]]ic minions to the deep oceans of the world to become high priests for [[evil]] aquatic monster races,<ref name="ISWG232"/> such as his [[Devilfish|gutaki]] or [[Deep ones|deep one]] followers. He is even worshiped by some of the more savage [[sahuagin]] tribes. Unfortunately, Dagon's foul influence is not limited to the ocean depths; he is also revered by some debased coastline societies. In these twisted communities, land dwellers mix with ichthyic beings from the depths, spawning horrible cross-breeds which have no place in the natural order of things. [[Marsh giant]]s are normally the most fervent of Dagon's land-based followers, but his cult has been growing amongst [[human]]s in isolated villages, who secretly turn to his worship, sometimes on the promise of bountiful fishing or alien golden jewellery.<ref name="DiMp57" /><ref name="LoC14"/><ref name="ISWG232"/>

Dagon is one of the three demon lords primarily worshiped by the [[Mwangi#Bekyar|Bekyar]] people of the [[Mwangi Expanse]].<ref>{{Cite book/Heart of the Jungle|12}}</ref>
