Shothragot is an immensely powerful elder evil in the service of Ghaunadaur. Shothragot is the principal instrument in Ghaunadaur's plans, and its mission is to slay the worshipers of other gods in order to weaken them. When they are weak enough, Ghaunadaur plans to defeat the other deities and steal their power for himself until he has enough power to challenge Ao.
