MANY-ANGLED ONES

(Redirected from The Many-angled Ones)

The 'many-angled ones' are fictional other-dimensional beings linked to the Cthulhu Mythos. They first appeared in the British comic strip ''Zenith'' in which they are known as the Lloigor, a direct reference to creatures from the Cthulhu Mythos. However, they appear somewhat different from the Cthulhu Mythos entities. In the comic strip, the many-angled ones have a dastardly plan to impose rigid geometrical order on the whole universe, essentially reducing it to a clockwork.
The many-angled ones exist in a space with more dimensions than our own; hence, they appear to be ''many angled''. As a result, when they manifest in our universe they appear as disconnected floating body parts of some larger beast that is complete in the higher dimension (similar to how a three dimensional being would appear in flatland as its parts pass through the plane of that two-dimensional world).
More recently, the many-angled ones were mentioned in Charles Stross's ''The Atrocity Archives''. This work features the usual appearances by "nameless horrors of the abyss", which may or may not be many-angled ones. The beings were referenced in the DC comic book ''Hitman'', which briefly featured demons called "The Multi-Angled ones".
