To help clear up a couple of things:
Cthulhu is a priest, and probably to either Azathoth or Yogsothoth or both.
And while this tends to set off a shit storm that I won't join in on:
Lucifer is NOT Satan (http://www.apologeticspress.org/APContent.aspx?category=11&article=1091)
But for the sake of this thread I think that Satan would probably qualify
OT: My personal favorites would be Nerull and Hextor from D&D but then again I'm really old school...

Cthulhu is a Great Old One...but also a God (or close enough for our mortal minds that cannot comprehend these things Man Was Not Meant To Know). He is not an Elder God (a Derlith thing anyway). But he is still a deity. Another name for Cthulhu is "The Sleeping God."Realitycrash said:CTHULHU is not a god, he is a Great Old One, and yes, there is a difference.DugMachine said:inb4 Cthulhu.
My favorite evil god is Cthulhu lol
Erhm. Now that my rage has subsided (and yes, this is one of my berserk-buttons, people speaking of the mythos - and almost always of Cthulhu - yet knowing little)
"Of such great powers or beings there may be conceivably a survival . . . a survival of a hugely remote period when . . . consciousness was manifested, perhaps, in shapes and forms long since withdrawn before the tide of advancing humanity . . . forms of which poetry and legend alone have caught a flying memory and called them gods, monsters, mythical beings of all sorts and kinds. . . .
?Algernon Blackwood." -- opening quote at the beginning of the short story, "The Call of Cthulhu"
Or to just go to the wiki entry under Great Old Ones:
"A Great Old One is a type of fictional deity in the Cthulhu Mythos of H.P. Lovecraft. Collectively, the Great Old Ones (sometimes referred to as the Old Ones by some authors or the Cthulhu Cycle Deities by Brian Lumley in his Titus Crow stories) are not as powerful as the Outer Gods, nor do they have as much influence. Nonetheless, they are served by devoted congregations of worshipers, made up of both human and non-human cults."

But why take Cthulhu when you can take Him Who Is Not To Be Named? I've always been fascinated by the King in Yellow, myself.
High five for Nerull and Hextor! My faves too!dyskordian said:
Now those two would make a great odd couple TV sitcom. Hextor dusting with his 6 arms and always finding Nerull's skull piles falling out of the closet. It would be zany and mapcap!
I'll take....
That's right, the psychotic little jester that really made something out of himself, Kefka!
And, of course,
All hail Sheogorath! Who's up for some Brain Pie?
Though I suppose technically, Sheogorath isn't necessarily "evil"...just delightfully psychotic.

Darkseid. Unlike other evil Gods who have other motivations besides destroying life, he only has one goal in mind: discover the Anti-Life equation and end all of creation.
Also, I second Kratos as being pure evil, although I would make the case that he is a demigod of vengeance more than evil.

Thats last season, its not my fault if you havent seen something a year old.Purtabo said:dude spoilersCODE-D said:I will be god of the new world
-Light Yagami(almost)
^his true maniacal form
and castiel the angel had the power of god for an episode or two
He wasnt really evil, just sorta pissed off at everyone but he healed a blind man....
...after killing several angels who wouldnt conform to him and others he deemed wrong.
Dude, are you my alternative personality or something? I went to sleep and I wake up to find a comment I don't remember writing. OK, I do remember writing it, but not in those words.Realitycrash said:CTHULHU is not a god, he is a Great Old One, and yes, there is a difference.DugMachine said:inb4 Cthulhu.

I'm gonna put my vote with the Wyrm from World of Darkness (which is technically more of a force of nature, but fuck, it's the closest I can think of)
Edit: Wait, what defines a God? What requirements must be fulfilled?
Yes, I did notice you commenting more or less the exact thing that I did, both on Cthulhu and the Wyrm, and this was after I posted my comment. Was going to point it out, but I was on my laptop, it lags, it was late, etc. Couldn't be arsed.DoPo said:Dude, are you my alternative personality or something?

Anyway: NINJAD!
Not a god. Also not evil. Being a being of cosmic scale with a mind incomprehensible to humans doesn't make him any more of an evil god than it makes you if you step on an anthill, or wash your hands with antibacterial soap.DugMachine said:inb4 Cthulhu.

He who shines the light of knowledge upon the ignorant, the divine teacher? No, seriously, the whole reason that Lucifer is connected with the judeochristian devil is because he gets referred to as the morning star which was also one of Lucifer's titles. It's really kind of sad that a minor Roman god of knowledge coupled with a Greek fertility god (really god of the wilds, theatrical criticism, and associated with spring and thus fertility) became the standard for describing the "great evil" of christianity.AM City Watch said:
I'm not sure Sheogorath is really evil, though. He's, by any mortal conception, mad as a hatter, but that's related to that whole "non-euclidean dice" thing.BehattedWanderer said:
Personally, I like Light, the (in his own words) God of the New World. He was pretty malevolent in order to push his own version of absolute justice, and was totally aware that that's what he was (unlike say Cthulhu to whom we are practically non-beings).
Now, Nyarlathotep I can get behind. Unlike the other Outer Gods and Old Ones, he actually seems to understand and interact with humanity in a fashion beyond how humanity treats bacteria. He's malevolent as hell, most of the time, too. As for Azathoth, Azathoth is essentially unthinking primal chaos -- entropy incarnate.Deathleaper said:
Ah, but Mantorok was the great schemer of the entire game (mostly through manipulating the Roivas line). By interacting with multiple alternate realities simultaneously, he got his siblings (each of which he is stronger than, but who he cannot handle in aggregate, which is how he was chained in the first place) to fight and defeat each other, and lead to being released from his bindings. If there were a sequel, he would be the big bad.Mellomi said:What, nothing of our great lady Xel'lotath? I'd say Mantorok, but he's not actually evil (as far as we know).
Surprised nobody has mentioned ARMOK from Dwarf Fortress. He is basically the creator of the world, but when the world gets to homogeneous he destroys it and makes a new one.
From the wiki: 'A general sense of conflict keeps Armok appeased - when the universe becomes too boring it is set on the anvil of creation to be reforged.'
Bonus trivia, the name 'Armok' originated from one of Bay12's earlier games, Dragslay, where the variable 'arm-ok' which was used to count how many arms the player had.

I know someone's already picked you up on this, but Cronus and the rest of the Titans weren't even portrayed as dickish, nevermind evil. Sure he gobbled up his kids, but after he usurped his own father and was told that he was destined to be usurped by his own children, he was just scared.TheBobmus said:
You want a dickish God, look no further than Zeus. Somewhere between the Golden Age where the Gods (Titans) loved chilling with mankind and the Silver Age where Zeus usurped Cronus, shit went down and mankind got demoted. Suddenly Gods needed to be worshiped unconditionally, lest they face severe punishment. Oh and he purposefully unleashed all evil into the world and the hearts of mankind. What a dick.
