Father Dagon, H, is a unique monster from the Cthulhu Mythos who is a deferred feature in SLASH'EM and SlashTHEM.

Despite his status as a deferred feature, Father Dagon is fully implemented in SLASH'EM, and can in fact be summoned in wizard mode. One could even (fleetingly) see him in a normal game by casting stone to flesh on a wished-for statue of him, producing a doppelganger that would briefly mimic his shape. In this regard, she is similar to Cthulhu.

Compared to Cthulhu, Father Dagon is in some ways more dangerous: his attacks will cut right through even the thickest of armor, dealing 100+ damage per turn to a character in a full ascension kit. On the other hand, he lacks Cthulhu's spellcasting and resurrection abilities, and in fact has no resistances other than cold or poison. A cockatrice corpse or egg will make short work of him.
